Many Nigerians are risking their lives by attempting to migrate irregularly to Europe via Libya, dreaming of success. Indeed, 9 in 10 Nigerian potential migrants expect to find a job within four months once in Europe. In reality, irregular migration from Nigeria to Europe is a risky choice.
Nigerians often don’t make it to their intended destination. Many have to return in a worse economic situation than when they left. Most Nigerians who travelled through the Sahara and into Libya experienced or witnessed murder, kidnapping, detention and beatings. Those who make it to Europe are often deported as they do not have a legal right to stay.
