‘God Save Me’.
That was the graffiti (pictured below) imprinted on a car by an unknown African migrant held hostage at a trafficking house in Ghut Shaal, Janzur, in north-western Libya.
In truth, only God can save any migrant who gets stuck in Libya after abandonment by heartless Libyan traffickers and kidnappers or arrest and detention by the police. But the mortal that I only am, I am determined to save as many migrants as possible from asking God to save them after embarking on an ill-advised trip to Libya.
Therefore, starting tomorrow and for the next 20 days, I’ll be on a campaign of short videos enlightening the public on why they should steer clear of Libya. These videos will be on all social media platforms, but my primary targets are Tiktok and Facebook, where traffickers often hoodwink unsuspecting youth with fake promises of a better life.
For the first 10 days, my messages will be released in English (morning) and Pidgin (evening).
The final 10 days will be made in Hausa (morning), Igbo (afternoon) and Yoruba (evening), consequently eliminating language barriers among subliterates and illiterates, who constitute the prime target groups of traffickers.
I know some will only learn by experience and will proceed to Libya regardless of advisories to the contrary, but I also know many would stay put in Nigeria if they had access to credible information.
Migrants like ‘Para’ and Samuel who told me “I wouldn’t have come if I knew I would suffer this much”, those are my targets. So help me God!
@Omni_YSR@MmesomaOko3544 What are the functions of the press in a country? They are literally an avenue for criticism of the government. Love how you ignored the second half of what I said too.
@Omni_YSR@MmesomaOko3544@TheXyznans Women can't take criticism but male leaders have limited press and govern countries where people can't say anything negative about them.
@Maestrofthenet@Blessing_Olivi@KaaluPhili60041 Epl teams have to use their full squad to even have a chance at getting 3 points in league games while laliga teams can rotate some players. So obviously their players would be well rested. Why do you think psg has won the ucl twice in a row?
@EmekaofX Also more than 80-90% of people found not guilty by reason of insanity are men. But sure women are the murderers going scot free. Peak fooling. Just dey lie dey go.
@EmekaofX Nigeria has a low number of convictions and no one has been executed since 2016. Abortion isn't murder. The fact you that you think it is shows you're just uneducated. If men could get pregnant they'd abort. Comparing fetuses to people.
@EmekaofX@diaryofa9jagirl@danglifestyle_ How is abortion related to this? How are fetuses human lives? You see you're a fool. Men commit more murders. Men commit infanticide more. Men commit more violent crimes. Men kill their families every 5 days too. Yet your here barking about women's empowerment.
@EmekaofX@diaryofa9jagirl@danglifestyle_ Wo shut up. 'Our grandmothers and mothers' like say una dey track anything for nigeria. Postpartum psychosis is rare. Even at that Yoruba people still have a word for it. 'Abisinwin'
