The stranded Nigerians have for some days now camped in front of the Nigerian Embassy, waiting for help to be relocated back home. Narrating their ordeal to AFP, two brothers said they were approached by fellow Nigerians and told that, should their dreams of soccer stardom not work out once they get to Russia, they would easily find other well-paying jobs in Russia.
