Another group of Nigerians is expected to arrive home on Friday

Muhammad Yusuf, the ambassador of Sudan to Nigeria, has begged with Nigerians leaving the nation to think about going back when circumstances calm down.

Speaking on Thursday after a group of returning Nigerians, Mr. Yusuf urged them to resume their studies and reopen their businesses once the violence between the army and the paramilitary groups has subsided.

"I'm very sorry for what is happening there, but at the same time I'm very happy to have these evacuees coming from Sudan safe, no life is lost," he was reported as saying by the Cable daily.

On Friday, more Nigerians are anticipated to come from the Sudan.
