Migration Crisis: My Biggest Fear Was Being Abducted In Libya - Soyombo
"Migration Crisis: My Biggest Fear Was Being Abducted In Libya - Soyombo" puts its guest's own words in the title. Of everything the migration route holds, abduction in Libya is what Soyombo names as the thing he feared most. The segment appeared on Arise News, the international news channel of Nigeria's THISDAY group, and was nearing fifty thousand views by its second day.
That is about twenty-four times what a new Arise upload usually collects on its first day. The channel already draws heavy daily traffic across its catalog, but individual segments tend to open modestly and give way to the next headline. This one did not.
It is a first-person account on a subject Arise frames as a crisis, and so far it is outpacing the channel's usual segments by a distance.
