Despite the Covid-19 pandemic that affected a lot of countries, some Africans still migrate to Europe illegally. According to research, most of these illegal migrants make their way through Libya, and if lucky, to the coast of Europe. Unfortunately, many of them face the heat of deportation with time.
In Germany, despite the Covid-19 pandemic, several illegal African migrants face deportation on a regular basis, including numerous Nigerian citizens. Despite the unemployment challenges of the Nigerian youths, illegally migrating to Europe does not stand as the best option.
If the plans to migrate are for positive reasons, there are no reasons to cross the desert or high sea to Europe. Fully-funded scholarships are available to study and there are also job opportunities you can apply for and migrate legally.
Nothing illegal has a positive outcome. Therefore, for illegal migrants who are already in Europe, please avoid forced deportation. We recommend reaching out to organizations that offer Voluntary Return services. With this service, one can get support to return to their country of origin. They also offer proper reintegration services back into the system. For more details on voluntary return see: https://germany.iom.int/en/returning-germany
For the next person strategizing an illegal move, it is best to read or hear the sad stories of others. Some of them never make it to the shores of Europe. Others die in the desert, or face horrible incidents, that traumatize them almost all their life.
