Two Nigerian Kids Crying After Losing Mum At Sea On Their Way To Europe by damiloladuke: 1:18pm On Jul 30, 2016 |
Two Nigerian children were pictured crying profusely in photos gone viral after losing their mum on their way to Europe from their overcrowded boat off the coast of Libya while trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea into Italy. In a bid to escape the crippling economic conditions in Nigeria, countless Nigerians on a daily basis embark on a journey to Europe, through the back door, and while many make it, for many others, it is their last journey before finding cold solace among the sea beds of the Mediterranean sea except if their corpses are recovered. In some heartbreaking photos making rounds online and social media, two Nigerian siblings aged 10 and 11, recently lost their mother on one of those ill-fated trips embarked upon by African migrants to Europe. The pair, whose collective anguish, was captured on camera, were among 150 migrants recently rescued from an overcrowded rubber boat along the coast of Libya as they attempted to transverse the Mediterranean into Italy. The heartbreaking photos shows the sibling's pain as they cried their lungs out just as they sought to console one another. http://www.blackberrybabes.com/2016/07/heartbreaking-photos-of-two-nigerian.html 9 Likes 11 Shares

Why politicised everything, crossing to Europe cos of the economy you say? If only you know the huge some of money they give out to cross is enough to start reasonable business here. Europe no be by force. 133 Likes 6 Shares |

Crossing to Europe to do what? for greener pastures? The money she used in boarding that boat with her kids would have been able to start a petty business here in Nigeria and slowly but surely, God would pick her call Please Africans, please Nigerians we don't need to travel abroad to make it, we just need to think broad. May her soul rest in peace. 140 Likes 9 Shares |

![]() . . She must have promised those kids a better life, 3 square meals when they get to Europe... But Alas!! Death has snatched away that dream and even stopped her of fulfilling the basic promise every mum makes to her kids which is "I will always be with you" . . . She must have fought for her breath...and at same time shielded her children from being suffocated or pushed down and matched to death from the surging crowd.... As she dies...her dim eyes still sees the crystal clear tear drops from the heavy of her children "mummy mummy mummyyyyy" the children screams Trying hard to reply ..her lips gets stiffer.... Deep within her heart she says "Am sorry dearies, sorry I couldn't make it...sorry for not getting to Europe with you...forgive me for putting you through all the sufferings but for your own good I started this journey" . . "mummy we love you don't die" the kids scream.. She feels her lips and voice come alive again... She replies "I love you too" But the kids don't hear her Wait Wait Wait She's dead already...Death was so impatient for a final good bye 200 Likes 16 Shares |

Just like the drug pushers, these people are aware of the risk involved but just won't stop. The amount of souls that Mediterranean Sea don claim bah, only God knows. Not to talk of the ones that die in the deserts. #R.I.P ![]() 13 Likes |

Na wa o. What are these people looking for up and down. Europe has her own full grown problems that even those with valid documents still have many challenges talkless of immigrants. Economic situation in this country is worse but not the worst. At least people can still do menial bussinesses here and there for daily food compare to many other black or asian nations .Taking deadly risks and yet you get their, they treat you like pooo. See what these parents put their kids to because I learnt that it was dad and mum killed in the storm. 6 Likes |

Na today? Is it because of economic situation in Nigeria that caused people traveling to Europe? I hate these IPOB saying nonsense on Nairaland every second. What about the Benin ladies traveling to Italy? Now that data is cheap, some people can be politicing every topic on Nairaland. 10 Likes 1 Share |
