Adoara (not real name) the Nigerian woman who survived 10 days in Sahara Desert

The International Organization for Migration said it rescued no fewer than 600 people since April 2017 through a new search and rescue operation that targeted migrants stranded in Sahara Desert.

A 22-year-old Nigerian woman attempting to migrate into Europe via the harsh Sahara Desert survived after being abandoned by traffickers for 10 days.

The International Organisation for Migration said the woman, given the nickname Adoara, was the only female among the survivors of a rescue mission on May 28.

“She left Nigeria in early April hoping for a better future in Europe.

There were 50 migrants on the pick-up truck when it left Agadez for Libya, but only six are still alive today,” Giuseppe Loprete, Niger Chief of Mission for IOM, said.

Recounting her ordeal, the Nigerian survivor said: “We were in the desert for 10 days. After five days, the driver abandoned us.

“He left with all of our belongings, saying he was going to pick us up in a couple of hours, but he never did,” she recalled.

During the next two days, 44 of the migrants died which persuaded the six left to start walking to look for help. “We had to drink our own pee to survive,” said the woman now in an IOM camp in Niamey, Niger.

She had left Nigeria with two close female friends, who both died in the desert.

“They were too weak to keep going,” she sadly remembers. “We buried a few, but there were just too many to bury and we didn’t have the strength to do it,” Adaora adds. “I couldn’t walk anymore. I wanted to give up,” she recalls.

Two other migrants carried her until a truck driver picked them up and took them to local authorities who then alerted IOM staff in Dirkou in the Agadez Region of north-eastern Niger.

By the time the six survivors reached IOM’s transit centre in Dirkou, Adaora was unconscious.

She received medical assistance, and once recovered, she gave a detailed account of her experience to both the authorities and IOM staff. Two of the other migrants from the group went back with IOM staff and the authorities to find the bodies and identify the victims.

After having received medical assistance at IOM’s transit centres in both Dirkou and Agadez, Adaora is currently recovering at IOM’s transit centre for migrants in Niamey, awaiting her imminent voluntary return to Nigeria.

Adaora says she had no idea what the route was going to be like, otherwise she would have never left Nigeria.

Going back, she wants to continue her work as a nurse. “I think it’s important we all assist each other when we are in need,” she says.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said it rescued no fewer than 600 people since April 2017 through a new search and rescue operation that targeted migrants stranded in Sahara Desert.

The UN migration agency, however, regretted 52 migrants, mostly from The Gambia, Nigeria, Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire, died over the period, according to its statement on Tuesday.

“We are enhancing our capacity to assist vulnerable migrants stranded in Northern Agadez, towards the Niger-Libya border.

“Saving lives in the desert is becoming more urgent than ever.

“Since the beginning of the year we have been receiving frequent calls to rescue victims who embark on this route,” Giuseppe Loprete, Niger Chief of Mission for IOM, said.

On June 9, another 92 migrants were also rescued through an IOM search and rescue operation; among them were 30 women and children.

More recently, 24 migrants were taken to Seguedine, where one died on arrival.

“Among the 23 survivors are migrants from Gambia, Nigeria, Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire. It was not clear for how long they had been walking in the deserts of central Niger.

“They had been in a group of 75 migrants in three different cars, eventually abandoned by smugglers during the journey north,” Loprete said.

IOM said it had recorded 52 deaths since it launched a new project “Migrants Rescue and Assistance in Agadez Region” (MIRAA) in April.

The project will last for 12 months, and aims to ensure the protection of migrants in hard-to-reach areas while also strengthening the management of migration by the Government of Niger, it said.

MIRAA is complementary to the larger initiative “Migrant Resource and Response Mechanism” (MRRM), which aims to bring together in one mechanism a wide range of services and assistance for migrants, including assisted voluntary return to their countries of origin and reintegration once they return.

Lol...That is the MOU of those smugglers na! They will never take those intending immigrants to their destination. All they need is your money and any valuable stuff in your belongings since you are foolish enough to embark on a journey through the desert to Libya where you will surely end up in the hands of rebel soldiers who will in turn sell/treat you as slaves.

Thank God for her life. Never never fall victim of this trap to avoid dying in the desert.

am from Edo state and its trending here as if Libya enroute Italy is like travelling from Lagos to Benin, kids here fantasizes it parents pressures their kids to embark on this journey.
I actually almost got into it when I seek admission to study law which I was passionate about but law admission wasn't forthcoming instead it was political science, philosophy and history. 45% of my classmates then had left the country,I was just like an unfortunate kid and was an object of mockery by neighbors but there is this love that parents have for children ,my parent never gave up on me especially my mom and some few nairalanders like pranaya and vivaciousvivi they made me see where I was getting it wrong.I had to motivate myself pour my anger into what I had to do and I believe my shining moment is here,I rather remain in Nigeria and become a beggar than risk my life placing it on a keg of gunpowder laye.
Sometimes I don't blame this people travelling to Libya enroute Italy sometimes it could be as a result of SETBACKS, DEPRESSION and above all PEER PRESSURE .they know the risk this journey entails just the exact way someone attempting suicide knows what the action he or she is about to carry out
quite a few who actually traveled to Europe are doing great there sending money and valuables why a larger majority of them end up joining cults becoming part of some criminal syndicate.

Why is it that northerners don't usually embark on this dangerous journey, it is only southerners. And north is more proximate to Niger republic.

Idiots. That's what all these people who travel through the Sahara desert are. What kinda condition in Nigeria will compel a supposedly sane human being to elect to travel to Europe through the Sahara desert, despite all the perils associated with such a journey and the tales of sorrow emanating from such journeys which we hear daily on the news?

Some people are hopelessly stupid and beyond redemption. They will never listen to wise counsel. They only learn their bitter lesson and become sober after they have gone through the harrowing experience first-hand. This m0ron featured in this story even had a job as a nurse in Nigeria, yet chose to make the ill-fated trip to Europe through the Sahara desert in search of a better life that has eluded most Africans in Europe. Those in Europe have realized it is all a Mirage and are coming home, while those here are desperate to get there. Africans are just the most dim-witted class of humans created by God.

Go home fool and sin no more

It obvious that you are so self absorbed and insensitive to where a large number of Nigerians have found themselves. In a situation that is hopelessly desperate and in extreme despair with zero expectation. Add to that nobody even willing to help.

So please have some little empathy. Blame out leaders who have destroyed the self esteem and hope of a generation.

Otherwise I would ask you remain silent.

The struggle is real, that was how a girl travelled to kano and then to Cameroon and off they went on a boat to Italy. She was quite fortunate and her parents thought she was missing, they set sail on September 2016 and arrived around February 2017.

She placed a call back to Nigeria, you needed to see how relieved everyone was. So please dear Nigerians, endeavour to know the steps those close to you are taking some missing people might actually have preplanned motives

These long voyage trips are even worse.... I heard of one such babe leaving Brazil via Senegal to Spain illegally... Roughly 21 day voyage but you are enslaved and fed on a boat for a few months.... And fukced by the whole crew. each night the babe belongs to a different crew member and he unleashes his sexual frustration on her (even on her period)

After a few months, she is free to leave the ship in a European state of her choice (Spain, France, Belgium, Germany or holland)

Do not make a comment just for comments sake, endeavor to make sensible and coherent comments. If in your opinion the best option for someone in a dire financial situation in Nigeria is to set out on an expedition to Europe through the Sahara desert, bearing in mind that there is absolutely no job for illegal immigrants in Europe, then I'm afraid you need an urgent appointment with a shrink.

Opportunities for financial freedom abound in this country, yet many people are too myopic to see, instead they will choose to heap the blame on the leaders. How much will it take for one to start a little trade here and earn a decent living, yet they are willing to give their entire life savings to those who promise to take them across the Sahara desert to Europe as if money grows on trees in Europe. Subjecting themselves to unimaginable levels of dehumanizing and demeaning conditions just to get to Europe.

The woman featured in this article had a job as a nurse, yet she felt her destiny is to travel to Europe through the Sahara desert and become a millionaire.

Undoubtedly she has learnt her lesson, and so will countless others still planning to make the journey.
