F

or decades Nigerian mi-
grants have left their country

  • both legally and illegally
  • hoping to escape poverty,
    conflict, and corruption.
    Those traveling without proper

documents faced several risks, in-
cluding hunger and thirst, robbery,

and the dangers of sea crossings into
Europe. If caught, Nigerian migrants

can be detained and eventually de-
ported from their destination or

transit countries.
The Bishop of Sokoto, Matthew

Hassan Kukah, told Crux that migra-
tion is “the ultimate manifestation of

our state of despair.”
The bishop said the story of Africa
is the story of a very irresponsible
elite that has shown no commitment
to redeeming its people.

“It is difficult not to cover our fac-
es in shame because we can find no

explanation for the lack of commit-
ment to ridding our people of hun-
ger, illiteracy, destitution and despair.

Our successive leaders have stashed
our resources abroad and reduced us
to the state we are in now,” he said.

At the same time, while not com-
menting on the specifics of the Unit-
ed States, Kukah said a border wall

  • like that endorsed by President
    Donald Trump – would be a good
    idea for Nigeria.

“For me as a Nigerian, I would glad-
ly recommend walls especially for

the northern parts of Nigeria where
thousands of murderers, bandits and
outlaws have invaded and claimed

the lives of hundreds of citizens, de-
stroyed hundreds of communities

and so on,” the bishop said.
