@john micallef: I am a Nigerian, and you are right to be indignant at the crime some of my countrymen are perpetrating in your country. It's not racism!
Just for the record, not all Nigerians are criminals, it's just unfortunate that those who make the European headlines spoil the name of the other hard working ones among us.

Under which conditions was this person granted entry into Malta in the first place, and what made him qualify to become a resident? Like what type of resident is he? Who helped him achieve this request? Did the EU subsidise his presence to Malta with our tax money? Do we have the right to get these answers.
Very curious.
Thank you.

@James Cassar
I totally disagree with your stetement. The police have failed the nation as no nigerian should have overstayed in Malta more than three months. The police have become so in love with laissez faire that we have thousands of persons living illegally on our Island and without a permanent job but having mobile phones, reting out apartments, buying out cars, and living here as if the miracle of the manna is happening here in Malta.

The police must commence a campaign to check all foreigners in Malta - having an address, being registered and with an identity card, registered with the social services, registerd with the income tax authorities, and anyone with a stay of more than three months and without a permanent employment should be sent home on the first flight.

We cannot tolerate to become a haven for people who ruin our society and our children with criminal activity foremost of which drug distribution.

I would need only one week and I would clear all this mess from this Island; otherwise from the top to the bottom are guilty of complicity to these criminal activities. Note the top means politicians too.

lately, a couple of Nigerians have been caught with substantial amounts of dangerous substances in the northern parts of Malta. is this their thank you for having them stay over here? probably, when these arrived they where put in centres, obviously from there they started making contacts for them to have a 'living' when their time comes to go out of detention centres and 'integrate' with the local community. shouldn't these be expelled immediately to their country when caught in these types of crimes? or will this also be racism?

The police have these last few days accumulated a good catch of cocaine and other substances.
All this is to their credit.
But, there is a but, whose duty is it to see that no such substance enters Malta? It appears that there is a thriving exchange with abroad. What the customs catch seems to be only the tip of the iceberg. And notice that the majority of those caught with stocks of substances are foreigners who appear to know Malta in and out.
Probably the coast cannot be guarded 100% and 24 hours a day. Going around Malta one notices the number of yachts of all sizes, in every bay. Surely these are not all put under the surveillance of the authorities. Some of these Yachts can even go and spend a day in a Sicilian port. Are these under the cutoms watch. Yachts seem to leave there place of mooring at anytime of the date and return without passing through customs, at least it does not appear that they are searched, hence contreband of any goods seems to be easy. Some times some one is caught and the fact published and the curiosity of the public is satisfied.

Another drug dealer that could have been prevented, if he was prevented from entering the country illegally.
