This is the true story below: THREE African migrants have been found clinging to the rudder of an oil tanker after surviving 11 gruelling days at sea. The stowaways were rescued by the Spanish coastguard in the Canary Islands yesterday, where they were rushed to hospital suffering with severe dehydration. According to the ship-tracking website Marine Traffic, the men were onboard the oil and chemical tanker Alithini II, which departed from Lagos, Nigeria. The men, believed to be of sub-Saharan origin, were sighted in their precarious position at the port of Las Palmas, on the Spanish isle Gran Canaria. Local media Canarias Ahora reported the men had been seeking a better life in Europe. The photo distributed by Salvamento Maritimo, the maritime safety and rescue society, showed the men exhausted and in desperate need of medical attention. They were found on the rudder blade, which is outside of the hull of the ship and is usually submerged. Salvamento Maritimo authorities said on Twitter it was a lucky voyage, considering the extreme exposure to the sea and wind. Authorities said: "They have been transferred to the port and treated by health services." According to Sky News, it is not the first time migrants have tried to stow away on the rudder of a ship. In October 2020, four people clung to a rudder of an oil tanker from Lagos, hiding for 10 days before Police discovered them on the vessel. The number of migrants crossing from north Africa to the Canary Islands has spiked since 2019.

I am actually not comparing Brazil to Nigeria. Brazil is a developing country while Nigeria is consider underdeveloped country but crime rate and unemployment is prevalent in both countries. Do you know thousands of Brazilians travel to southern border of US to claim asylum yearly? They would have stayed in their country is Brazil is better as people make us believe. Only fools will risk their lives to travel abroad cos wherever you're going, such a place has it challenges and you will not turn millionaires overnight just because you land for Europe or US. Traveling abroad is good but not at the expense of your life. They are beggar in the street of New York so they say. tensazangetsu20: |

xandy84: You are a very big liar. The visa rejection rates for Brazilian citizens is less than 3 percent. This puts Brazil as one of the top contenders for the US VWP list. Why would any Brazilian citizen cross the Darien gap to come to the US illegally when getting a US visa from Brazil is very easy. You guys lie a lot on nairaland and it's nauseating. I am in Chile and Chilean citizens don't even need a visa to go to the US or Canada whereas some people called Chile a shithole on nairaland. 8 Likes 1 Share |

I am not discouraging anyone from going to Brazil. In fact, I believe Brazil is a step up from Nigeria but risking your lives to travel to US, Canada or Europe does not worth it. Considering risk and reward factors, you can lose your life being store away dying a violent death. Let me rephrase it. I will rather be a mechanic in Lagos than store way to Brazil. Simple.

these men are a disgrace. disgracing us around the world. can you imagine, a pentecostal pastor that tells people to pray to GOD. he himself did not get any answer from GOD. the problem is once they have done it, they will do it again, and you will see copycats. everything is a state of mind. at their age, they can't live with content this is bad, and the brazil they land on, is even worser. worse crimes are in brazil, you become drug dealer. |

You could at least ask to to explain. First, Brazilians don't take the jungle route. They fly to Mexico and walk to the border to claim asylum and when there was uptick in Brazilians claiming asylum, US government pressure mexico to restrict Brazil free visa policy which mexico did. Brazilians are not that much into traveling but I can tell you if you care to listen, traveling as store way to Brazil is a waste of time, energy and a worthless risk. tensazangetsu20: 1 Like |

xandy84: This bloody cretin resides in the US and complains foolishly. If the USA is that bad, move your smelly yansh back to Nigeria!!!!!! Nigeria has a higher unemployment rate than Brazil. Check LinkedIn to confirm. Brazil has more than TEN TIMES MORE JOBS than Nigeria. It's right there on LinkedIn bloody liar! You think this is 2000 where you people lie brazenly and stoopidly?!!! It's Central Americans who move illegally to the US not Brazilians. Brazilians are middle class folks. Please stop lying stupidly. It's annoying! Look at the rejection rate of Brazilians in obtaining non immigrant visa to the US. Less than 20%! The same people you lied foolishly are moving illegally to the US? You are a cretinous fvcktard! 3 Likes 1 Share
