Greediness on their part.....imagine on full scholarship again!

Nosa-Henry:
My heart goes out to the girls. Just to do some casual jobs to makes ends meet. Bad and repulsive law.

make ends meet? they were on full scholarship!!

I want the " soon to be deported girly|" on the left....fast!

Meanwhile a lot of oyibo dey walk around our street, dey collect our own jobs and its very ok... Smh

Did they really have to slap the handcuffs on, just to lead her away?
Pls i need to know if this is a civil or criminal offence.
Does this deserve deportation or is it because they are Nigerians?
Remember these people have spent 3 YEARS already in Canada without any bad record.
If we dont know the details of the Canadian law on such an offence then one can't really blame the authorities for whatever action they take.
However,if there are other options of punishment, then deportation is way too HARSH.
If the authorities go through with this considering the number of years already spent by the students, i'll advise prospective foreign students to look elsewhere.

I feel pity for these girls. Rather than condemn their actions for flouting Canadian law knowingly or in ignorance, I pray that the appropriate authorities favour their plea to complete their education in the country.

The thought of coming home empty-handed must have led them to want to work. May God help them out!

Callotti: What beauties.
[b]Randy Naija men [/b]are waiting to heip them.
Come home sweeeeeteeeeze.
Gov. Rochas waits!

Are you mentally disturbed?
.....if this is all you can see and comment on the story!

Dis Guy:

Once the first installment of such scholarship is paid (to garner publicity by the Governor),
The rest is O.Y.O (on your own!)

Have we not heard many instance of Nigerian students on "full scholarship", suffering and crying in places like Ukraine, Russia, e.t.c?

No be today o!

I feel for the ladies, at least they were not doing the usual "embarrassing things".

Lastpage!

see fine gurls

ooseven: I am now very convinced that a vast majority of nairalanders are enemies of progress and never wish anybody well, always seeing the negatives in people and situations. No empathy, no sympathy , no unity, just negativity, negativity, NEGATIVITY!!!!

It is not just Nairalanders. It is Nigerians in real life not just on the world wide web. The average Nigerian is hateful, spiteful, discriminatory, bigoted and always wishing the downfall of her fellow Nigerian. Keep in mind that most Nairalanders are Nigerians so what you see here online is just a reflection of who the average Nigerian truly is. And then we wonder why Nigeria is not progressing in the real sense of the word. How can a country filled with so many wicked and bigoted citizens progress?

strangest: Meanwhile a lot of oyibo dey walk around our street, dey collect our own jobs and its very ok... Smh

No be una choose to worship oyibo like a bunch of air heads for Nigeria? How many times have I been trying to tell Nigerians that caucasians the world over don't give a damn about you? Yet the average Nigerian continues to 'worship' whitey for reasons best known to them. Many Nigerians even go as far as defending white racism/white racists because according to them, you have Nigerians who practice tribalism so we should not complain when some white racist heiffer discriminates against blacks. I have never seen a group of self hating inferiority complex stricken Africans like Nigerians. I am glad all this is happening so Nigerians will see how Africans are treated in the western world.

its so unfortunate. wish the canadian authority will reconsider. its obvious the girls are not looking forward to coming home. they rather sleep in church for the next three years. naija i hail o

Once again people who have never left their village in naija and know nothing of life outside the country open their mouth to spite these young ladies.
Its not an easy thing to be hosted on scholarship first of all, it just means they were exceptional students, not rich or whatever it is I read one bad-belle, bitter person saying on here.

For a young person who doesn't quite get these things, immigrational laws are quite cumbersome to understand.
They are obviously not criminals in that sense. A criminal is one who knows something is "not allowed" and does it anyway (i refuse to use the word wrong here because, in all honesty, this has been one of the most stupid and pointless immigrational laws till date).

Looking at their age, are they even up to 18? Those officers have no shame.
Working in border enforcement services is like a dream job for rednecks and KKK-ish folk.
This is how they get their high for the day, instead of going to chase real criminals.

You are not different from those Nigerians you described above, you sound very hateful, 'blame-the-white' mentality, everyone else is against you part from yourself.

I hope their case is reconsidered and they are allowed to stay and finish their studies but they have broken the law, they should have known better.

I really feel sorry for them but i'm not blaming the Canadian authority.

Whao. I pray God favour them before the panel IJN. Amen

Whao!! I pray God favour them IJN. Amen

Can't help but heave a sigh........ Such a story.....

That's what I have been saying for years that there are more Nigerians on this site than any other and they want to say that the site doesn't represent Nigeria.

Thank you for speaking the truth.

They're no longer attending lectures but hiding in a church, how's that helping their cause?

This how a country works....strict laws that punishes citizens whenever they go against it. But nigerians will complain if they see a leader making laws to shape our activities. How will our country progress when there's no law. When nigerians say they are suffering I always laugh and say; u think the leaders are actually making you suffer in that country where you do anything u want to? Until nigeria has standard laws, nothing will happen

This is the reason why nigeria will never progress. Nigerians always trying to claim ignorance in every situation. Incase u don't know, ignorance is not an excuse for going against the law...anywhere in the world. A law is a law! Besides, were dey not oriented in first year? I'm sure they must av told them all the terms and conditions...but jst like a typical nigerian, always wanting to play smarter than God to disobey laws and seeing people who are not doing it as dumb. Well ladies, this is not nigeria where u get away with virtually everything. Now I even want to assume that they were not told (which is not possible). Laws are not supposed to be sent to you as parcel in the first place, it is your own duty as a citizen of a place to find out all the 'dos and donts' of the place!!! Once again, ignorance is not an excuse to disobey the law!!!! Law also can't be bent for any reason whatsoever. So next time, when you are going to another country; drop your naija way of reasoning and acting....orelse, you will face the same problem. #nuffsaid

True, but look at where they applied for jobs. Everyone and there mother knows that Walmart hires EVERYONE and ANYONE, regardless of papers. Their hiring of illegal immigrants is in the news every other week. These girls aren't stupid. It's for this reason that deportation will be likely. If it was at another company where a procedure mistakenly wasn't followed, they may have some hope. But Walmart, a company that's always in trouble? Plus the fact that they are Nigerians, aka 419ers to the western word, they don't stand much of a chance.

what kind of fucking govt is giving out scholarships for students to study theater arts and mass comm in a freaking foreign university.

theres something fishy going on here.

I read the story again, just to make sure: there is something fishy here. Last time I checked, international students are allowed to work for up to 20 hours off campus during the school year, 40 hours (full time) in the summer. Has this law been revoked recently? Lemme check. Nope - you can work off-campus (there are a few restrictions like being a member of a participating institution and applying for an off-campus work permit, but you can do it. Maybe it doesn't apply to them because they're on scholarship?)

So that's issue 1. Issue 2 is that I find it difficult to believe that the students didn't know. As someone who was an international student in Canada, I can tell you quite clearly that it is stated in BOLD in your student visa that you are NOT allowed to work off-campus (on the student visa alone). I doubt that has changed.

So, unfortunately, I have to agree with those saying that the girls tried to apply the Nigerian mentality of circumventing the law for personal gain. And now, they're facing the consequences: I do hope the law is lenient with them - if they are first offenders AND if they didn't do anything shady like use someone elses name or info or lie on their job application.

Having said all this, I do understand how difficult it can be to get by as a student (scholarship or no scholarship) - if you need a bit of extra change to get by, you can do something personal, informal and irregular like babysitting kids (within your community) and getting paid cash for it. Not work at a national chain or a salaried job. What were they thinking?! That is a NO NO. It's essentially a way of trying to cheat the system. Doesn't usually work when outside of Nigeria, people. Shouldn't happen inside Nigeria, either.

Now was anything done to make the law clear to the students? And they have been there for three years, and have held the off campus job for only two weeks. That should count for them, plus the fact that one of them willingly relinquish the job as soon as she learnt the truth.

Na ur papa give dem d scholarship,did dey rite d state dey re from in wat u read,u beta shot up ur dirty mouth n gve chance here
