The belief that there is no country in this world where you will not find any Nigerian may not be always true.
In real talks and especially in comedy environment, it is often particularly said that there is no corner of the world you will not find an Igboman – based on the industrious nature of the South-Easterners.
As countries, however, scramble to evacuate their citizens from Afghanistan, after it has been toppled by the Taliban, the Federal Government has reportedly said that there is no Nigerian there.
Reacting to calls for the evacuation of Nigerians in the country, the spokesperson of the Nigerian Diaspora Commission, NiDCOM, Abdul-rahman Balogun was quoted as saying, “We don’t have any Nigerian in Afghanistan. That’s why we are not carrying out evacuation from the country.”
Reports add that since the takeover by the Taliban, different world leaders have begun the evacuation of their citizens from the country. While the US has since evacuated 4500 of its citizens, the UK government has evacuated 15, 000 persons under the Operation Pitting Evacuation mission.
