I am writing to tell you about how restless most of the Yemenis living in Nigeria are right now. From the time the British started bringing Yemenis, especially from South Yemen to Nigeria, Yemenis have been bringing more of their relatives to Nigeria. This move is because everything was going well, but now I can tell you there are thousands of Yemenis that cannot speak Arabic and this pains me because here in Nigeria we are not regarded as Nigerian or Yemeni so we are people without a nationality. I want the Yemeni government to do something about it. The worst thing is that we don't even have an embassy.
