ReplyDeleteMan's inhumanity to man
ReplyDeleteThis is the wickedness of the highest order 😱
ReplyDeleteThis is wickedness. I don't know why Nigerians like going to the stupid Libya. Rip to the departed.
ReplyDeleteOh my God
ReplyDeleteThis is really sad🙁.
ReplyDeletePURE EVIL!!!This case is just one in so many that goes on daily just because Africans are looking for a better life.Do we even start to talk about organ harvesting?The heart breaking part is that the victims families will be hopeful and happy that their lived ones are abroad,not knowing they've gone to the great beyond...
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... Na wa o. It's not just Nigerians that look for greener pastures but how come some people are so hustile to us.
ReplyDeleteThis is bad and heartbreaking💔💔💔💔💔
ReplyDeleteThis is heart wrenching... what!
ReplyDeleteNorth African nations don't even consider themselves Africans this should be enough to tell you what they are about. I saw a Moroccan woman on a quiz show saying her continent was Europe, so their school system obviously doesn't even teach them that they are on the African continent.
ReplyDeleteWho would settle in these places, even set a toe on their soil after seeing the slavery images from a couple years ago. Are there not better countries in Africa to go seek your fortune than being considered less than a donkey in these places.
