The scandal erupted after Baltasar Engonga, Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency, was arrested on charges of misconduct, including allegedly recording over 400 videos involving wives of notable figures in the nation.

The videos, which surfaced amid a broader investigation into fraud, reportedly include intimate encounters with influential individuals, escalating the controversy.

This latest development has sparked a public outcry, with many calling for stronger measures to protect the privacy and dignity of those affected by the leaked content.

Meanwhile, officials in Equatorial Guinea are reportedly taking steps to control the scandal’s impact as they continue their investigation.

The tapes reportedly feature encounters with high-profile individuals, including relatives and wives of government officials, such as the sister of the President, the wife of the Director General of Police, and spouses of approximately 20 ministers.

The rising number of Nigerians deported; From “Japa” to “Japada” by Divine Chukwuemeka: Why are so many Nigerians being deported?

Devine Chukwuemeka, also known as “japa Queen,” a Nigerian-born migration researcher who has volunteered to study people’s movement from one location to another, provides this curated rundown.

According to M.S. Devine, sharing her insights into people’s migration with Oriontimes, “First, I’ll give the contextual meaning of the keywords.”

JAPA; fled Nigeria for a different country in search of better pastures.

“JAPADA” is the opposite of “japa,” which means to return to Nigeria after escaping.

Deportation is the removal of a person from a country; in essence, you were “japa-ed,” but they pursued you back.

📍The extradition pace of a Nigerians particularly from Italy, Germany, UK, Ireland and Greece has turned into an issue of concern.

For instance, the United Kingdom approximately deported;

1,105 Nigerians in 2015; 22,800 Nigerians in 2023. As you can see, the numbers have skyrocketed, and some of the reasons for the deportation are as follows:

Lack of documentation; overstaying their visa’s residency period; stricter immigration policies—you entered the country when X was tolerated; now, X is not tolerated, so you must leave; illegal immigration; and most common is criminal activity or a track record—why did you kill the shopkeeper or sell drugs?

The process of being deported does not end there;

Financial difficulties—deportees might have to start over financially; emotional difficulties—family members might be unhappy with them.

Some deportees pose a threat to societal peace or struggle with instabilities, necessitating their placement in rehabilitation facilities. Reduced Remittances: the country would not benefit from the tax or revenue on the money they send into the country again. Bad name: deportation is not a good thing in its fundamental form, so it muddies the country’s name.

P.S., are you familiar with “Deportation”?

P.S.S., what other factors might cause nation X to expel migrants?

P.S.S.: Do you know anyone deported?

Please let me know if you gained any knowledge; I value your intellectual contributions.
