The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Lagos State Command, on Sunday confirmed that it had received the 65 Nigerians deported from the US last week.

The Comptroller of the command, Mr Ayo Oredipe, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that the deportees, consisting of 59 males and six females, started arriving from March 12.

He said that they were deported for 19 offences, ranging from rape, fraud, robbery and overstaying to sexual misdemeanour.

Nigerians executed in Indonesia
Two Nigerian convicts have been executed in Indonesia, seven years after being caught trying to smuggle heroin into the country.

Samuel Okoye and Hansen Nwaolisa were executed by firing squad in the early hours of Friday, officials said.

The executions were timed to mark the UN anti-drugs day, Indonesia's anti-narcotics agency reportedly said.

Drug traffickers are often sentenced to death in Indonesia, but the penalty has not been carried out since 2004.

The two men, aged 37 and 40, have been held at a high-security prison on Nusakambangan island, central Java, since their conviction for trying to smuggle some 7kg (16lb) of heroin into Indonesia.

"A firing squad of 12 people executed them in an outdoor area some 3km [2 miles] away from their prison," provincial prisons chief Bambang Winahyo told AFP news agency.

The two had made pleas for clemency to the president in 2004, but they were turned down.

Ever get an e-mail like this?

“My name is Mrs Maryam Ibrahim,, {I am} suffering from long time cancer of the breast, Before my late husband died {he} deposited the sum of 20 million dollars , 20% of this money will be for your time and effort, ”

The writers of these e-mails sometimes appear

Check out african own JLUVLY (zambian) doing his thing on myspace.com, go to music category and type jluvly (its the black guy in a red top) lisen to songs I am sorry and get it ma, people thats whats up

Move on, get a lie, you seem to be in denial, just move on!

You go to the wedding and then what? Are you a maid of honour, MC or chief organizer?, no! Just an Ex , I know its hard and painful but man move the on, period, otherwise you will look desperate. On another hand unless he invited you, which I would find offensive, more like "Come and witness my happy life", you fill me?

FYI

Zimabawe shares Victoria falls with Zambia and the better side is Zambia.

I know what I am about to say will tick alot of European soccer fans, but here I go

I think its (luck of a better word) waste of time and money supporting european teams, firstly, when you purchase the authetic jersey, a certain percentage goes to the club hence more money fixing the football federation of what team you support. YA!YA! its your money and you can do whatever you want, but who are you making rich at the end of the day? You know the anwer so thank you very much. Its not just naija people but across africa, now these are the same people that deny us visa, calls us immigrants etc, do youu think they consider your contributions and time you spend screaming off your lungs "Goal" or sing Ole Ole Ole? You know all the names of all players in the time, you never miss the games, you even get emotions and yet, look at Beckam, I dont even know his correct name, he is now freaking collecting millions now that he has moved to USA, Has he donated even a kobo for you? You have the answer!

I know that african soccer is not interesting, corruption, traing facilities but Dude shane on you, you go make europe rich? Are you kidding me, ole ole ole to you. I know you have remarks but hey! bring it on!

I guess "Advice is optional but it may be necessary"

Basically its nude pics, you know! Uncomprimising like exposing 'those' body parts or explict acts.

I agree with you that pictures are personal and any one can do whatever they want, but take Miss New Jersery 2007, If I am not mistaken, she got disqualified for past pics. Also in USA employers can conduct a background check on a potential employee and no matter, your qualification or experience YOU may not get hired.

You are welcome!

Consider what you will reap after sowing your photos on line esp. those abroad or Africa? Most jobs do a background check and most things you post without thinking twice will haunt you. You may be young now but 5, 10 or 20 years from now, like when you get a good job and your employers conduct a check on you, uncompromising pictures.

Don't say you were not warned, it will haunt you so bad and don't forget internet is public and free for all!

Another thing to avoid ladies, LONG NAILS, Fake or Real, PAINTED in any color, leave nail a natural or neutral color, short and not ghetto looking, just check out Mary J, Oprah, Beyonce, I mean serious divas.

Lose the painted nails, soooooooooooooo yesterday and look tooooooooooooo desparate for attention, the french tips are fake too, I dontcare how much you pay coz after a few day, "we" see then chiped and ugly.

NO!

No TO THE POWER 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Let me rephrase my statement "What type of Which chick sounds like that?".

What type of which chick writes english like that? Poor sentence construction and grammer.

I will keep replying to all postings that seem fake coz really its not fair to waste nairaland member's time.

Just my opinion and I still think your thread is fake, why cant you boyfriend give his input so we can answer him well well.

He wants to work overseas and you are in singapore, come on people which part of fake dont you understand? The F, A,K or the E?

Joy your story seems fake, you said you are from singapore then you say your boyfriend just came from Jos after a trip from Lagos. He wants to go overseas for job hunting then again you are in singapore

Its really rare for a foreigner within a year esp. from singapore to know Los, Lagos then trip and mix up stories, this thread is really plastic and tired.

Stop playing games.

Joy where are you from since you are not nigerian or from nigeria?

Just remembered another one, ladies no more silver lipstick,darker or different color of lip liners on lips, its strange that this lip liner thing is still in vogue with some naija women.It is so 1980's.

I think a fashion no-no for naija peeps is bleaching.This soooooooo 1980's, esp the face is yellow and hands,wrists,elbows,knuckles you name it are darker.

BLEACHING IS OLD FASHION AND GHETTO!!

Halle,Oprah and Mary dont do fake nails, you are right taht Mary J USED TO IN THE PAST, not anymore coz she is a proper Diva now

I have short nails, basically kept clean and no nail polish. , just simple nail cutter, I am good to go

In my opinion, Oprah with all her billions has short nails, no polish no drama, I got inspired, I have nothing against anyone who does their nails, I just would rather spend the extra 'dough' for something else, but if you enjoy fake nails, have fun!

If you really observe though 'some Divas' non of them do fake nails or nail polish e.g Oprah,Beyonce, Mary J or Halle Berry.

Amaka you are da bomb, them recipes are fine.

I eat 'point and Kill' catfish pepper soup in Naija, someone hook up up with recipe, I am jot sure when to add the fresh fish, Amaka or anyone HELP!!!

I guess taking an HIV test is voluntary. Past history is important as it factors the chances, it took me 5 years to go for a test and it was worth it coz I am now aware of my status and I have a free mind unlike worrying about all those escapades( you know one night stand with the dude without teeth ha!ha!). It not easy but worth it,

Thanks I just modified the subject,
