The Ebonyi State governor, David Umahi, has said that some Nigerians have been sentenced to between 500 and 1,000-years’ imprisonment in Ghana and other countries. The governor added that the inordinate pursuit of wealth and devaluation of the Nigerian culture by Nigerians had sent many of them out of the country to where they were languishing in pains and “crying had I known.”
