What is Still Keeping #NigeriaImmigration2000 at Home?
It is barely three weeks to the first anniversary of the famous suspension of two thousand Nigeria youths from the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) for offence that is not theirs in all honesty (as both parties; NIS and #NigeriaImmigration2000 had testified that it is not the fault of the two thousand youths from their previous presentations both on dailies and other media outlets).
Let's start with this offence that has kept these two thousand able-bodied and vibrant Nigeria youths at home for almost a year without any serious hope of going back to work soon.
At a media briefing at the premises of Ministry of Interior; Nigeria Immigration boss emphasized that they were illegally recruited; that the means that brought them in is illegal and consequently they were dispersed but that he will find a way to get them back to work which is not forthcoming. #NigeriaImmigration2000 have constantly maintained that they followed the outlined stages in the recruitment exercises with another a million plus of Nigerians that applied for the vacancies and fortunately they came out successful and started the work as expected of them then after abandoning their previous engagements, so why are they the ones to bear the brunt of other people's misdeeds if there is any? Remember government is a continuum.
Now looking at the stances of both parties; it is obvious that something is wrong somewhere, the big question begging for answers is why are those that "illegally" recruited #NigeriaImmigration2000 not being prosecuted instead of these two thousand youths? (I'm not talking about those facing prosecution at court for embezzling funds realised during 2014 NIS recruitment exercises that led to the death of scores of job seekers). Since no answer has come from the authorized body; the only idea that comes to my mind is that there is an ulterior motives of replacing these innocent youths by the authority with their very own otherwise they should give us reasons why those men that perpetrated the act are at the comfort of their homes and families going about their normal businesses while #NigeriaImmigration2000 are the ones bearing the consequences of other people's misdeeds. If they cannot provide the reasons, they should answer the main question "what is still keeping #NigeriaImmigration2000 at home?"
Life has taught me that we tend to move from being passive to being aggressive when it's optimal to be assertive. In this case #NigeriaImmigration2000 have been very vocal (assertive) about their ordeals since their suspension; check out the harsh tags #NigeriaImmigration2000 and #NIS2000 on the social medias. These youths should be proved wrong about their claims by the authorized body that keeps labelling them "illegal". This passive state of the authorized body should not turn to aggression in trying to contain the situation that might not augur well for the peaceful state of our dear nation when things get out of hands for the resilience, perseverance these youths have shown for almost a year in their quest to get reinstated back to work could turn to frustration and hatred towards our dear country. I'm a Nigerian, I believe that justice to one citizen is justice to all citizens of this nation and I will keep crying out for this injustice being meted out to #NigeriaImmigration2000.
Woe betide anyone that is trying to thwart the truth that #NigeriaImmigration2000 should be at their workplaces with full emoluments, allowances and even compensation for all they have been made to go through because you can't keep this truth away from people for eternity; once it's due time the truth must be exposed and you must bear the consequences of every of your actions. Reinstate these youths or give me the answers to the main question "what is still keeping #NigeriaImmigration2000 at home?".
In every Organization; there are bound to be chaos if it's leadership cannot protect the interest of it's members; those that think they have made it (the authorities using Nigeria as a case study) might have the perception that they have nothing to loose, that their wealth, connections and positions will always see them through that it is the average man that will always suffer. That might not be the case because you are trying to make these youths to hate the constituted authority in this country, from all their cries, they have been pointing fingers to you the constituted authority as the people behind their ordeals. This might get to a point that even those your perceived advantages might not save you. You might think we are only talking about two thousand youths ,no we are also talking about two thousand families, two thousand friends and well wishers who believe that their very own are being marginalised because they are not opportune to influence decisions or because they are not well-represented in the government. I know it is hard to please everyone in a society just because you want to be seen a good leader or the most capable hand in that position but taking justified actions against those that have offended is what we clamour for. These youths did not commit any offence that worth this trauma. Please give Justice to #NigeriaImmigration2000! Reinstate them and pay them all that they truly deserve and stop playing politics with their lives and that of their families for you said the offence is not theirs and if the offence is not theirs then "what is still keeping #NigeriaImmigration2000 at home?".
