So, this is the attitude of every Nigerian in Ukraine that they will promise and not fulfill.&#8221; he said<\/p>\n<p>Cyprian described the circular from the Nigerian embassy calling on Nigerians to be responsible for their protection and safety as appalling when \u201cother countries are making provisions on how to evacuate the citizens, providing phone lines to call, shelter and aids to their people and the Nigerian government is telling us \u2018You are on your own\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s tell ourselves the truth, there is no airspace to fly in, America evacuated her citizens a long time ago, and other countries. Now Russian troops are all over Ukraine already. We rely on the prayers of Nigerian pastors and bishops to save us from this.<\/p>\n<p>The Nigerian embassy here are not helping matters and they don\u2019t want to hear the truth.\u201dhe said<\/p>\n<p>Treasure Chinenye Bellgam, a medical student in Kiev, said the government\u2019s gesture is good although she has some reservations<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am a believer in Christ Jesus and I have to ask God for direction whether to return to Nigeria or not. Most Nigerians who are here on hustle are not willing to leave. They prefer to die here. It\u2019s like after God has lifted you one step higher you want to go two steps backward, it\u2019s like being demoted.<\/p>\n<p>But you need a lot of humility to go back to Nigeria because some people sold lands, cars, and the rest to come here and they have amazing stories.\u201d she said<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Julius, a Nigerian living in Kiev, said the announcement to evacuate Nigerians is a good idea but will not be heeded by Nigerians in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsidering the economy in Nigeria, I think a lot of people would look for the safest place here than returning to Nigeria. They should do it (supply of aircraft) so that it becomes a choice for those who would want to stay back or those who want to return.&#8221; he said<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine which stirred up so much uproar and panic, some Nigerians, who are presently trapped in Ukraine have reacted after the Nigerian government offered to evacuate them.
