"For people to cross the Sahara desert and Mediterranean through shanty boats ... we will try and keep them at home. But anybody who died in the desert and Mediterranean without documents; to prove that he is a Nigerian, there is absolutely nothing we can do,'' President Buhari said at an African Union-European Union summit on Wednesday.

Reacting to recent CNN footage on the sale of Africans in Libya, the Nigerian leader said it was appalling that "some Nigerians (in the footage) were being sold like goats for a few dollars in Libya.''

Laoye said the new arrivals would be profiled and registered by the Nigerian authorities. Some of them were taken to a shelter run by the NCFRMI in Lagos, where they can remain for up to 90 days.

She added that officials from Edo State, where a large number of the migrants came from, were also at the airport to take them back to the state.

The question remains: Why is Europe allowing itself to be invaded by third worlders from Africa and the middle east?

They fought for centuries to avoid such invasions, and now they facilitate them. This is `The Camp of the Saints’.

I just can’t picture a shanty boat making much progress in the Sahara.
