Nigerians! "Excelling" all over the world... angry

Funny enough, if these were "excelling" in good. things...
The comments would be that it was because they LEFT Nigeria.

Folks, for better and/or for worse...
You can take Nigerians out of Nigeria, but not Nigeria out of Nigerians!

Please stop shifting responsibilities.
They should have worked for good leadership to be in charge of their communities and their country as the European people do steadily.

BLESS YOU!!
We are ALL responsible (by omission or commision) for Nigeria's condition.

A French court has sentenced 23 Nigerians and one Frenchman, all members of a Lyon-based sex trafficking ring to prison terms of up to seven years for forcing Nigerian women into prostitution.

It was the latest case to highlight the growing use of African migrants in the European sex trade.

Among those sentenced was Europe’s most wanted woman, fugitive Jessica Edosomwan, accused of acting as a France-based “madam” to women recruited mainly in Nigeria’s Edo State.

Edosomwan was tried in absentia.


Also sentenced was self-styled Pastor Stanley Omoregie, 35, who said he just wanted to help the people in his community.

He denied in court the accusation of being involved in running a prostitution racket and trafficking of young girls from Nigeria to Europe.

Half of the 24 defendants present are women, mostly under 35 years old, and suspected of being the “mamas” of the network, in other words pimps.

Nigeria was the main country of origin for the tens of thousands of migrants who crossed the Mediterranean to Europe by boat in 2016 and 2017.

Many were women and girls lured to Europe with false promises of jobs as hairdressers or seamstresses, only to find themselves selling sex to repay their smugglers.

Seventeen women filed complaints against the defendants but none of the victims attended the trial, with the exception of one former sex worker who found herself in the dock for luring another woman into the trade.

The accused had faced up to 10 years’ imprisonment on charges including human trafficking, pimping, money laundering and helping people live illegally in France.

Prosecutors estimated that the victims, aged 17 to 38, made up to 150,000 euros ($166,000) a month for the syndicate by selling sex in vans parked by the side of the road for as little as 10 euros.

A French mechanic who looked after the vans was among the 24 defendants.

Sex trafficking is a scam.

Who told the European that those girls will live righteous lives if they were to remain in Nigeria?

The family of some of these girls even gave their full consent to the trafficking syndicate with the assurance that these girls will be taken to Europe to open the opportunity of their family member.

Of course most of their families consent fully because they can see how those who left b4 helped their families. Still doesn’t make it any less sex trafficking

You are not lying
It's sad bro. The way they think is so disgusting.. it's as if they see abroad prostitution as going to school abroad ... >:
There is no shame or being coy about it.. their mothers encourage them and it's sad

My heart was broken just the three weeks I spent in Benin last month

You see them when they are all old they return to Benin and open a hotel then use it to recruit girls they start sending then to Europe to hustle as they say.
