The Federal Government has assured Nigerians that it is prepared to receive its citizens who may be deported from the United States following President Donald Trump’s intensified crackdown on illegal immigration.

According to a report from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a total of 3,690 Nigerians are among those listed for deportation.

The document, titled “Noncitizens on the ICE Non-Detained Docket with Final Orders of Removal by Country of Citizenship,” places Nigeria second among African nations, just behind Somalia, which has 4,090 citizens facing removal. Ghana follows closely with 3,228.

The US government has been ramping up its immigration enforcement measures, with President Trump g a series of executive orders on his first day in office, including an end to birthright citizenship for children of undocumented migrants.

The ICE report states that over 1.4 million non-citizens have final removal orders, with Mexico and El Salvador topping the list.

The crackdown has sparked fear among undocumented migrants, including Nigerians, many of whom have lived in the US for years.

CSOs react
Advocacy groups have condemned the move, warning of the humanitarian impact.

The Center for Law and Social Policy highlighted concerns that deportations could deter families from accessing essential services such as healthcare, education, and disaster relief.

Religious leaders have also urged the US government to adopt a more comionate approach.

We're ready to welcome deported Nigerians from US — NiDCOM
Meanwhile, the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) has stated that the Federal Government has taken measures to handle the return of affected individuals.

Speaking to Vanguard, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, NiDCOM’s Director of Media and Corporate Affairs, confirmed that an inter-agency committee had been set up to manage any potential mass deportation.

“The Federal Government has established an inter-agency committee comprising the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, NiDCOM, the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, and the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) to respond to any large-scale deportation of Nigerians from the US,” Balogun disclosed.

However, he clarified that NiDCOM has not received any formal notification regarding Nigerians currently being processed for deportation.

The situation remains fluid as both governments navigate diplomatic channels to manage the issue.

With deportations already underway, affected Nigerians are left in uncertainty, hoping for a resolution that safeguards their rights and dignity.

WHO SOLD NIGERIA TO THE BRITISH FOR £865K IN 1899?

This is the story of the first oil war, which was fought in the 19th century, in the area that became Nigeria.

All through the 19th century, palm oil was highly sought-after by the British, for use as an industrial lubricant for machinery. that Britain was the world’s first industrialised nation, so they needed resources such as palm oil to maintain that.

Palm oil, of course, is a tropical plant, which is native to the Niger Delta. Malaysia’s dominance came a century later. By 1870, palm oil had replaced slaves as the main export of the Niger Delta, the area which was once known as the Slave Coast. At first, most of the trade in the oil palm was uncoordinated, with natives selling to those who gave them the best deals. Native chiefs such as former slave, Jaja of Opobo became immensely wealthy because of oil palm. With this wealth came influence.

However, among the Europeans, there was competition for who would get preferential access to the lucrative oil palm trade. In 1879, George Goldie formed the United African Company (UAC), which was modelled on the former East India Company. Goldie effectively took control of the Lower Niger River. By 1884, his company had 30 trading posts along the Lower Niger. This monopoly gave the British a strong hand against the French and Germans in the 1884 Berlin Conference. The British got the area that the UAC operated in, included in their sphere of influence after the Berlin Conference.

When the Brits got the they wanted from other Europeans, they began to deal with the African chiefs. Within two years of 1886, Goldie had signed treaties with tribal chiefs along the Benue and Niger Rivers whilst also penetrating inland. This move inland was against the spirit of verbal agreements that had been made to restrict the organisation’s activities to coastal regions.

By 1886, the company name changed to The National Africa Company and was granted a royal charter (incorporated). The charter authorised the company to ister the Niger Delta and all lands around the banks of the Benue and Niger Rivers. Soon after, the company was again renamed. The new name was Royal Niger Company, which survives, as Unilever, till this day.

To local chiefs, the Royal Niger Company negotiators had pledged free trade in the region. Behind, they entered private contracts on their . Because the (deceitful) private contracts were often written in English and signed by the local chiefs, the British government enforced them. So for example, Jaja of Opobo, when he tried to export palm oil on his own, was forced into exile for “obstructing commerce”. As an aside, Jaja was “forgiven” in 1891 and allowed to return home, but he died on the way back, poisoned with a cup of tea.

Seeing what happened to Jaja, some other native rulers began to look more closely at the deals they were getting from the Royal Nigeria Company. One of such kingdoms was Nembe, whose king, Koko Mingi VIII, ascended the throne in 1889 after being a Christian schoolteacher. Koko Mingi VIII, King Koko for short, like most rulers in the yard, was faced with the Royal Nigeria Company encroachment. He also resented the monopoly enjoyed by the Royal Nigeria Company and tried to seek out favourable trading , with particularly the Germans in Kamerun (Cameroon).

By 1894, the Royal Nigeria Company increasingly dictated whom the natives could trade with, and denied them direct access to their former markets. In late 1894, King Koko renounced Christianity and tried to form an alliance with Bonny and Okpoma against the Royal Nigeria Company to take back the trade. This is significant because while Okpoma ed up, Bonny refused. A harbinger of the successful “divide and rule” tactic.

On 29 January 1895, King Koko led an attack on the Royal Niger Company’s headquarters, which was in Akassa in today’s Bayelsa state. The pre-dawn raid had more than a thousand men involved. King Koko’s attack succeeded in capturing the base. Losing 40 of his men, King Koko captured 60 white men as hostages, as well as a lot of goods, ammunition and a Maxim gun. Koko then attempted to negotiate a release of the hostages in exchange for being allowed to chose his trading partners. The British refused to negotiate with Koko, and he had forty of the hostages killed. A British report claimed that the Nembe people ate them. On 20 February 1895, Britain’s Royal Navy, under iral Bedford attacked Brass and burned it to the ground. Many Nembe people died and smallpox finished off a lot of others.

By April 1895, business had returned to “normal”, normal being the conditions that the British wanted, and King Koko was on the run. Brass was fined £500 by the British, £62,494 (NGN29 million) in today’s money, and the looted weapons were returned as well as the surviving prisoners. After a British Parliamentary Commission sat, King Koko was offered of settlement by the British, which he re

Trump is just doing his job—deporting illegal immigrants and cleaning up his country. But the real question is, why are these Nigerians running from their own fatherland? If Nigeria was working, would they be risking everything just to stay abroad illegally? Instead of crying about deportation, maybe our leaders should focus on making Nigeria a place people actually want to live in.

Lol

Is someone not going to go to court to stop deportation to Afghanistan and North Korea or are they going to follow the executive orders blindly . Anyway I don't think they have direct flight there.

Other Countries dey deny landing rights to deportation planes... Nigeria don already welcome in advance. How did they confirm those 3690 are Nigerians?

Of course, they are always Nigerians and are always welcome. It is not easy to cross to another country's border illegally for 'better life'. They are brave, and should be welcome properly.
