UNRELIABLE NIGERIAN GOVT ; URGENT ATTENTION TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION OF NIGERIAN PRISONERS IN GHANA AND IN DIASPORA

I usually do not write,talk or contribute to whatever it is that has to do with prisoners generally.

Why because,even though I am not perfect,I do not have a criminal record and I know how very careful I mind myself,the law and people in general to avoid even been invited as witness in any case,talk more of been a plaintiff or accused.

But the post below has touched and drawn my attention to the suffering of the people involved even though I do not know them and in as much as I can not authenticate the post or source,I know and believe there are lots of Nigerians and other nationals in this very situation around Africa and the world.

My concentration here is on Nigerians,in as much as I hardly feel for criminals (not saying all prisoners are guilty),we have a country very terrible,from our heartless shadow boxing pretender of a president Buhari to almost all of our senators and representatives nation wide,who abandon and ignore their very duties to serve Nigerians and instead concentrate on ruling and punishing us for no reason,robbing and bleeding the nation to it's heels as is the norm of virtually every government we have had.

What is the ministry of of foreign affairs doing in situations like this below?NOTHING.Yet they would come out to play defense when embarrassed just like the government of Kogi and it's tyrannical governor Yahaya Bello who is one of the worst governors ever(if not actually the worst) does. 

Read below and pass it on so Buhari can at least tell his appointees to do some of their jobs even though he hardly does his;

*Forwarded as received*

My name is Emmanuel Emeka, a prisoner in Ankaful maximum security prison, Cape Coast, Ghana. I'm serving a jail-term of 130yrs imprisonment and I'm presently in my 8th year.

We appeal to the Nigerian Government to please come to our aid.

The condition here has been so unbearable for (we) Nigerian prisoners in Ghana.

We need to reconnect with our families. The 

Ghanaian police are fond of arresting innocent Nigerians, giving them high priso sentence of 50yrs,70yrs, 100yrs, 150yrs to 200yrs.

Most of us have spent about 8yrs, 10yrs, 15yrs, 17yrs and 20yrs inside the prisons and some have died inside the prison without completing their jail-term. Our families are in the dark, they really don't know what we are facing. We've spent a lot of money trying to appeal in court, but all is to no avail.

Within my 8years in prison, I have witnessed over 100 deaths of Nigerian citizens in the Ghana 

prison and most of their families are not even aware. Their families would still keep the hope of their return without knowing they are dead and buried with no rites. 

We appeal to the Government of 

Nigeria to please act on our behalf so we won't continue to perish in this peril. 

There are many 

Nigerians in all the 46 prisons in Ghana that need help from the Nigerian Government. 

I also beg the media: kindly keep spreading the message until it finally grips the attention of the able government. 

To fellow citizens of Nigeria, our brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers, please continue to pray 

for us and do what you can to return us back home.

Another sad part is that most of us are on 

sick bed, no drugs for us. This is the unseen hardship Nigerian citizens in all the prisons in Ghana are facing and myself inclusive. I've been sick for the past 2 months and they have not taken me to the hospital or give me any drug. They treat us like animals, they give us dry garri everyday, no access to communication. I know how I suffered to get this phone to send this message to you.

Please, helping us to pass on this message lies the survival of about 800 to 1000 Nigerian prisoners in the 46 prisons in Ghana who are in this type of high sentence. 

Please help us spread the message to all the four corners of Nigeria to campaign for our freedom because that is the only hope left for us.
