A Nigerian lady in Rome (Italy) was arrested this morning and charged with illegal immigration and exploitation of prostitution.
The woman who brought her "half-sister" illegaly into Italy and forced her into prostitution was reported to have beaten her up for not earning enough from the "job".
Investigations started when a passer-by noticed the girl beaten up and frightened , then called the 113 (police).
That day the young girl was earlier attacked and rubbed by some foreigners and on her arrival home was once more beaten -up by her sister for not returning with enough money for the day's 'job'.

ROMA. La squadra mobile di Roma, diretta da Vittorio Rizzi, ha arrestato questa mattina una nigeriana per immigrazione clandestina e sfruttamento della prostituzione.

La donna, S.L., faceva prostituire la sorellastra, fatta entrare illegalmente in Italia, e la picchiava se non riusciva a guadagnare abbastanza. Le indagini sono partite dopo che, domenica scorsa, la giovane nigeriana, malmenata ed impaurita, è stata notata da un passante che ha chiamato il ''113''. Quella giornata la giovane era stata aggredita e rapinata da due cittadini extracomunitari e, una volta tornata a casa, era poi stata picchiata dalla sorellastra perchè rientrata senza soldi.

Falling Fortunes, Rising Hopes and the Price of Oil

...........Next is Nigeria. In terms of seeing an increase in human misery, Nigeria should probably be at the top of the losers’ list. But the harsh reality is that Nigerians are used to corrupt government, inadequate infrastructure, spotty power supply and all-around poor conditions. Some of the perks of high energy prices undoubtedly will disappear, but none of those perks succeeded in changing Nigeria in the first place.

The real impact on Nigeria will be that the government will have drastically less money available to grease the political wheels that allow it to keep competing regional and personal interests in check. Those funds have been particularly crucial for funneling cash to the country’s oil-rich Niger Delta region, giving local bosses reason not to hire and/or arm militant groups like the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta to attack oil and natural gas sites. With Abuja having less cash, the oil regions will see a surge in extortion, kidnapping and oil bunkering (i.e., theft). We already have seen attacks ramp up against the country’s natural gas industry: Within the last few days, attacks against supply points have forced operators to take the Bonny Island liquefied natural gas export facility offline. And since Nigeria’s militants never really differentiate between the country’s various forms of energy export, oil disruptions are probably just around the corner.

238 Nigerian women in UK prison over drug trafficking

238 Nigerian women in UK prison over drug trafficking

At least, 238 Nigerian women are now in the United Kingdom prison over drug trafficking, a United Kingdom based Non- governmental organization, (NGO) Hibiscus, has confirmed.
Speaking at the re-launch of ‘Bola get rich quick’ campaign supported by the British High Commission in Nigeria, the Director of Hibiscus, Olga Heaven MBE, who disclosed this to newsmen during the capacity building event, said that women should not engage in drug trafficking because of the inherent dangers associated with it.

“There are more men in the business. They now use older women to do the buusiness. The Nigerian government should take the campaign against drug trafficking seriously.
The sad thing is that they are not getting away with it. Women play supportive roles in the family and should not engage in such dangerous activities. We urge Nigerian women and women all over the world to shun it. It is a global issue. It affects the global society” she said.
According to her, the family, the church, the media, NGOs and the society should be part of the campaign against drug trafficking, adding that countries of the world must come together to find a solution to reduce the trend to the barest minimum.
“The campaign involves Hibiscus working in partnership with the media, faith leaders, market women, NGOs, and other civil groups to raise awareness and strengthen the partnership against Nigerians acting as drug mules.

The aim is to show that regardless of the level of desperation, acting as a drug mule is no guarantee of wealth or a improvement in living conditions” she added.But speaking on the challenges involved in arresting these drug barons either trafficking from Nigerian to other destinations or into Nigeria , the Director, Operations, National Drug Law and Enforcement Agency, (NDLEA) Baba Useni said that is very difficult to get the traffickers, adding that they even exchange drugs in the prison.

“These day, they do not come through the airports rather they go through other borders with Nigeria. Our major challenge is fund to sustain the camping in the media.
It is not cheap to carry out the campaign without fund. We will continue to wage war against drug. That is the truth of the matter but everybody, especially, the church and the family must be involved” he said
