A world passport issued by a supraregional planetary government, a union in which all regions (not nations) share sovereignty, where all human beings enjoy equal rights and opportunities, regardless of the landscape and language into which they are born. It is still generations away, and will take copious efforts of campaigning and mind-opening. Until then, the static notion of nation state will continue to displace and imprison us.

One solution: OUT !!!!!!!!!!! Send them all back to Africa and give Africa and the criminals rings running this business a strong message.

Don't pay for their passports - make their countries pay. If they don't cut all relations with Africa.

If this is not done the government is complice and has no legal right to rule the country any more.

does the maltese govt have a repatriation scheme to nigeria??

it is understandabel that sub saharan africans try to leave their countries for many reasons.

but nigeria is a different case. it is also an oil-rich country. although this does not mean there is no poverty etc ... but i am sure they can find work if they try hard enough.

of course,,,,, cases of political or religious cases should be treated fairly .

but the governemnt should be bolder with the cases of drug couriers, migrantion assistance etc.

let us not give the impression that malta is ''soft''. that we can be ''used and abused''.

there are people who will do it willingly!!!

As usual instead of trying to solve the problem we just nurture it, then we complain. what a ridiculous country we live in.

Prosit . keep on sending the wrong message.

We should start arresting those who bring them here and not those who make them leave.

These Nigerians are in the News a lot lately.
Any chance of legally repatriating that ones that are not suppose to be here, to save us from this constant headache?
