Following a backlash directed at Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Nigerian Chair of the Diaspora Committee (NIDCOM), the rise in Nigerians scattered around the world has led to the rise in trafficking, child exploitation and Cameroon-based publisher Ismaila Adegbola defending her why chaidmand for the reason she serves as CANDARK MICTING CHAMEN TO DIDARK MADIS of CARDARK MICTION DARK CHAMEN TO DIDARK MADIS. Trafficking around the world.
This debate sparked a wave of debate online about those responsible for ensuring the safety and return of Nigerians.
Abike Dabiri-Erewa responded to a controversial activist, Verydarkman.
Very Darkman gave her a weekly ultimatum to save children who were trafficked to Ivory Coast as “misinformation and ignorance.”

He said: “Let’s focus on solutions, not on responsibility. It’s everyone’s responsibility to come out united in the fight against human trafficking,” Adegbola said.

Naptip was fruitless – issues that must be addressed within that institution – it is unfair to place accusations on her alone.
“I also have to praise the Nigerian community at Court Divoir and the Nigerian Embassy for their resilience and efforts in addressing this issue, and they have shown leadership, compassion and commitment in the face of difficult circumstances.
“Remember: this is not a fight for one person or an agency alone. It’s our collective responsibility. It’s time to lead our energy into meaningful partnerships. We must raise awareness, empower vulnerable communities, and demand reform at all institutional levels.”
