Nigeria flying home 152 citizens stranded in Russia after Wo
ABUJA (Reuters) - Nigeria has made arrangements for 152 of its citizens who were stranded in Russia following the end of the soccer World Cup to be flown home, a foreign affairs spokesman said on Friday.
The month-long tournament, which attracted fans from all over the world, ended on Sunday with a victory for France.
Nigeria's government said many of its nationals were stranded due to a lack of funds.
"A total of 152 Nigerians boarded the plane and are on their way to Abuja," said foreign affairs ministry spokesman Tope Elias-Fatile. He said the plane carrying the people was expected to arrive in Nigeria's capital at around 06:00 p.m. (1700 GMT).
The foreign ministry said late on Thursday people would be flown home on an Ethiopian Airlines flight.

- Commentary #1: These people were not there for World Cup. They were duped by promise of jobs, hence one way tickets. They spent the World Cup camping around Nigerian Embassy.
Commentary #2: These guys never had any intentions of going back to Nigeria ( home of so many internet millionaires). They wanted into Europe and Russia is a lot better place than where they came from.
$10 billion from oil and yet no improvement
what is wrong with you people?

Putin just extended the validity of FANID to December 31, 2018! So enough time for boys to find Russian wife and stay!

We need what Major (I forgot his actual military rank) Rawlings did in Ghana to be done in Nigeria. Until then, Nigeria will NEVER improve. It will continue to sinkRawlings wrote:Suffa, Suffa for Naija

Trump and Putin aren't friends. It is more like the master and the slave (Trump). Russians don't trust US citizens.(SPY) Visa can be acquired but it is a lengthy process.kajifu wrote:How come Russia visa is a big problem for us US citizen when Trump and Putin should be friends.
