The Nigerian government announced that the first batch of Nigerians have been deported to the United States and are expected to arrive in Contri on Monday, February 17, 2025, but as of Tuesday morning, the first batch is still waiting.
BBC Pidgin Day is closely monitoring Diss Stories.
In a social media post on Monday, Foreign Affairs Minister Bianca Odumegwu Ojukwu highlighted Nigeria’s concerns over President Donald Trump’s decision to meet with US Ambassador to Nigeria Richard Mills Jr. and deport many Nigerians to Contri.
“Currently, there are approximately 201 Nigerians in U.S. immigration centers and approximately 85 (of the Nigerians) have been granted deportation. This number is expected to increase rapidly,” Madam Ojukwu Toku said.

Ojukwu-Toku said that in discussions with the U.S. ambassador, he has argued that deportation is not traumatic or sudden, especially for individuals without a violent criminal history, and that individuals should be given sufficient time to take care of their national assets before insisting that they simply be packed on a plane and sent back.
“Forcible removal of nationals from the continental United States must follow internationally established guidelines and established procedures, and must follow a more humane process,” Ojukwu-Toku said.
“The repatriation was carried out with dignity and respect for human rights,” she told the ambassador.
At least 3,000 Nigerians do not have legal documentation to stay in the United States and are at risk of deportation, according to a document obtained by Fox News from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
A FOX News report on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, said the Nigerian immigrant is in compliance with an ICE non-detention document that includes a final deportation order for November 2024 or later.
According to the report, Nigeria has the second highest number of nationals scheduled for deportation to Africa, followed by Somalia, Ghana and Senegal.
In the lead-up to the 2024 election campaign, President Donald Trump promised to deport 1 million pipos without legal permission to live for the United States.
BBC Pidgin Bin Dong reports how many African immigrant communities in the US are in panic, fearing attacks, detention and deportation. Most slave cephs do not go underground.
Migrants told the BBC: “They are not allowed inside their homes now,” “They are skipping work,” “They are reducing their public appearances,” and “They are not allowing their children to go to school because they fear that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers are in a position to detain them.”
“I will be very careful with my waka, believe in Allah and say it will be okay,” Abdul, a Nigerian native living in Wisconsin, told our Tripesin for Data Report.
Abdul Bin went to America with his dad about 30 years ago when he was 10 years old.
They say they are afraid of being caught by us because they have heard and seen what kind of operations ICE agents are carrying out on behalf of Ota City.
“The way they treat Pipo is really crazy. It’s like they’re saying we can’t be Peshin either. We’re all human beings, and we all bleed the same way,” Talk said.
