The honourable minister has spoken well,it is a sign of a responsible Govt. to protect the interest of their nationals anywhere.But I must advise our brothers abroad to please get involved in decent businesses,the continued involvement of our people in drug related deals and fraudulent activities put us in bad light.Nigeria are now now suspects abroad,as soon as you flash your green passport,the countenance of immigration and security agents abroad change.I live in France and I see this often but if you are law abiding no one will disrespect you.

the minister is talking about the way foreign countries treat Nigerian deportees forgetting that our own security agencies gives Nigerian deportees worst treatment than those countries that deports them. maybe he doesn't know that those deportees will still have to pay some substantial amount of money to the immigration and police before they will be allowed to go home or risk being locked in zone 2 ikoyi until they where able to pay 50.000 naira.
the foreign ministry that the so called minister is heading collects 300% high than what is officially supposed to be payed for documents that is needed by Nigerians abroad for procurement of documents that is needed from Nigerians host countries for resident permit,marriages and etc.
they should treat us with dignity before they will expect foreign countries to treat us with dignity. Go to our embassies abroad and see how the same foreign embassy staff from the same foreign ministries treat Nigerian right in the presence of their other foreign staff and visitors.

    Federal Government has said it is not against the deportation of Nigerians who have overstayed their welcome abroad, but insists such deportation must be done within the ambit of international law.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amb. Olugbenga Ashiru, said this on Tuesday in Abuja while addressing members of the diplomatic corps serving in Nigeria.

He said Nigerians being deported must be treated with dignity and respect.

Ashiru was obviously referring to the deportation of 53 Nigerians from the United Kingdom and another 56 expected from South Africa later this week.

Ashiru said, “Let me state here that the Federal Government is not opposed to the deportation of Nigerians who no longer have the right to remain in the countries from where they are being deported, especially after they might have exhausted all local remedies.

“We however insist that this deportation should be done within the appropriate institutional and legal framework and with dignity and decency.

“While urging Nigerians all over the world to continue to be law-abiding and not abuse the hospitality of their hosts, the government not tolerate maltreatment of Nigerians for no just cause.

“I must emphasise that it is a cardinal principle of Nigeria's Foreign Policy to promote and protect the welfare of Nigerians all over the world.

“We will not abdicate this responsibility to our citizens all over the world and in all circumstances.”

As a sign of its respect for international law on matters of migration, the minister said Nigeria had signed a number of MOUs with some countries on the subject.

Ashiru also frowned upon some missions breaching proper channels of communication with the Nigerian ministries, agencies and departments.

According to him, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs remains the official channel of communication between government and accredited missions.

He assured the envoys of the ministry's readiness to expedite action on requests made to facilitate their smooth operations in Nigeria.
