There are valid points raised about Nigerians visiting Nepal in your translated item (From the Nepali Press, 'Nigerian Watch', #308). Having lived with Nigerian students while studying in the former USSR and having read about their involvement drug trafficking in India, I think our authorities are already a little late to the game. Our troubled country does not need more problems. So do we need to host them? It also seems ridiculous that Nepali football clubs are hiring Nigerian players for the domestic league. As someone said, this does the sport in our country no favours. The Home Ministry, Immigration Department, Ministry of Tourism, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs should all take action immediately.
