Nigerians as indentured servants

Thousands of youths who dream of light and scent in Western Europe risk their lives through Sahara desert via Arlit (the dark path where decaying corpses along the footpaths guided many to promise land), in overcrowded ships, many drowned in water and few reached Lampedusa Island in Italy.
History is repeating itself, first as tragedy, the second a farce.
Migration graphical curve is taking another trigonometric shape in northern Nigeria due to abject and artificial poverty, according to Nigerian Bureau of Statistics (2016), about 122 million Nigerians live in abject poverty with poor access to social amenities, therefore, they live below poverty line, with increase in geometric population due to high birth rate, exponential rise of illiteracy level and low per capita, this trend might reach sky soon and keep widening space for human traffickers to dance.
Human trafficking is about to reach its zenith in northern Nigeria fuelled by shady promises of good jobs and free paradise by traffickers, this has skyrocketed the amount of black money earned through this illegal business.
Hundreds clouded minds are leaving their hard earned businesses in Nigeria and end up with modern slavery in Saudi Arabia, some even lose their advance cash payment to traffickers without enjoying the dangerous trip.
Sadly, this leads to the collapse of small scale businesses while hundreds of people sink into the abject poverty to the level that even the poor call them poor.
At various cities of Saudi Arabia, these indentured servants got beaten in the hands of their masters and entertain them with difficult works which are decorated with harassment, in few cases; some female workers lost their lives in vain.
Unlike female workers, male indentured servants run away when the conditions turn unbearable.
At Al-Shumaisi center near Mecca, some of these workers who lived without proper documents were imprisoned in bad conditions before pushing them back to Nigeria.
In 2017 about 16,387 Nigerians were sent back home from different countries in the world where 24.3 per cent of them were from Saudi Arabia.
This numbers will keep increasing if government takes no serious action to clamp down on human trafficking across the nation.
