The Super Eagles of Nigeria have returned to Malam Aminu Kano International Airport following a difficult ordeal in Libya.

Naija News understands that the Super Eagles flight from Libya was three and half hours.

Their chartered flight will refuel in the ancient Northern Nigerian city before it makes it way to Abuja and then Lagos.

Recall that the Super Eagles flew to Libya on Sunday, October 13, in preparation for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against the Mediterranean Knights at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, October 15.

After landing at the Al Abraq Airport in Libya, the Super Eagles were left stranded for over 13 hours without any assistance from the host Libyan Football Federation.

A statement from the NFF communication department said the Super Eagles’ chartered aircraft was unexpectedly diverted to Al Abraq Airport, a small airport primarily used for hajj operations, instead of landing at the intended Benghazi Airport.

This unexpected diversion has left the players and officials fatigued and bewildered, as they have not received any reception or transportation to their hotel, which is reportedly a 3-hour drive away in Benghazi.

This week, those remarks took on a more serious tone following the <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/justin-trudeau-resignation-what-happens-next" target="_self">resignation of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau</a> as leader of the Liberal Party.</p><p>In response, politicians across Canada, including Quebec Premier François Legault, have expressed strong opposition to the idea of closer integration with our southern neighbours.</p><p>On Wednesday, January 8, before meeting with other provincial leaders, Legault issued a detailed statement addressing Trump's most recent remarks.</p><p>"President-elect Donald Trump's comments about Canada, the Panama Canal and Greenland must be taken seriously," the premier wrote in a lengthy social media post. "There is obviously no question of Canada becoming the 51st American state, but Mr. Trump will use every opportunity at his disposal to increase his leverage."</p><blockquote class="rm-embed twitter-tweet" data-partner="rebelmouse" data-twitter-tweet-id="1877065958545908105"> <div style="margin:1em 0"></div> — (@) <a href="https://twitter.com/francoislegault/status/1877065958545908105"></a> </blockquote> <script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script><p>Legault also drew attention to a recent encounter he had with Trump, where border security emerged as a topic of discussion. Reflecting on his chat with the 78-year-old president-to-be, Legault explained steps his government has taken to improve surveillance.</p><p>"As for border security, Donald Trump raised this issue with me in Paris, and it is a concern that we share. On November 19, I instructed the Department of Public Safety to begin active surveillance of our territory," he added. "Since then, the SQ has been patrolling the border with the United States. We are also in contact with the RCMP, Immigration Canada and the American authorities."</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DDTAJGORosO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"> <div style="padding:8px;"> <div style="background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"> <div style="background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf//42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB/lQPb79drWOyJVa/DAvg9B/rLB4cC+Nqgdz/TvBbBnr6GBReqn/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I/fZou/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"> </div> </div> <p style=" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DDTAJGORosO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_top">See on Instagram</a> </p> </div> </blockquote><script async="" defer="" src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script><p>Legault also pointed out that Trump's proposal of a 25% tariff on Canadian goods would have significant repercussions, not only for Canada but also for American consumers and businesses. </p><p>Citing the aluminum industry as an example, he explained, "Imposing 25% tariffs would hurt us, but it would also hurt American companies that need our products, not to mention the higher prices for Americans themselves."</p><p>After Wednesday afternoon's premiers meeting, Legault revealed that he and other provincial leaders intend to meet with Trump in Washington next month.<br/></p><p>"Quebec and the other Canadian provinces intend to exercise leadership in discussions with the United States.
