Hi all,

I do not agree that the main reason most people go abroad to give birth is for citizenship or status symbol.
I speak from experience.

I got married in 2000 and never had plans to have my children outside Nigeria (i never imagined it). But, 20 weeks after my wife got pregnant we lost the baby. This happened 3 times and non of the doctors could give any eason even after series of tests.

In one of the hospitals in Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria, the doctor himself advised us to go abroad which I of course did not listen to. We eventually had a baby that died after 4 days while still in the hospital. This was the lowest period of my life.

My wife was eventually able to get over the trauma of the loss and we started attending a clinic owned by one of the professors in LUTH and also another private hospital. By this time I had made up my mind we were not going to take chances, my wife traveled abroad with her case note from LUTH.

On getting there, it was discovered that all the tests performed in LUTH were wrong and she had to be admitted into hospital 10 days before her EDD.

To cut a long story short, we had the baby, the baby had the same challenge the one that died had but, because of greater care and better value for life my baby was diagnosed and treated promprtly. But, in Nigeria th one that died was in the incubator for the 4 days she lived and the owners of the hospital would switch off the power generating set in the night to conserve fuel a the expense of human life.

They gave us a death certificate claiming cause of death to be sepsis. But, we were told what the issue was in the UK.

We were given a bill of over N400,000.00 for a dead child. We were reAdy to pay our bill in the Uk and we PAID.

If you guys found yourselves in such a situation what would you do? A lot of Nigerians have had this experience.

Mark you I LOVE NIGERIA but my joy was at stake here.

Elosela, where did you hear that they are now taking fingerprints of all visitors to the UK? We just landed yesterday at 7.30am and nobody took our fingerprints.

You are wrong mate, I harbour no ill-feeling towards anyone who needs to migrate to seek a better life for themselves or their families, I only dislike freeloaders like every other law abiding taxpayer.

Besides, I am an offspring of an immigrant. Every one in the UK who is not of "white" descent is either an immigrant or the child of one.

presido1:

. . . Haven't you noticed that offspring of immigrants don't normally like immigrants. Michael Howard, Nikola Sarkosy just to mention the popular once.

Mystery 1:

So my child will be a british citizen if born in london??

Haven't you noticed that offspring of immigrants don't normally like immigrants.

the are clamping down hard, real hard.

Bumper 80% of what you said was corect however, there is this unwritten rule in becomming a british citizen by birth
if you have had a child here in the UK in the last 2 years you would notice that the process for registering your child has change and if you don't register your child=No birth certificate
Both parents have to be present nowadays to register the child in the Dad's name or else it stays on the woman's name of which if she don't have a Red kpali she can't do either.
Take a look at the new passport application form if you are below 18 your parent or guardian has to sign your form, the have to put their passport number(british only) now at this point, if none of you have a british passport trouble
if you are above 18 now you need to show your full birth cert.it has to contain father and mother's name, now if at time of birth both parent where not married, the Mum has to be a red-passport holder.
Now the Big one, you can no longer add you kids in your passport in order to take them abroad they have to get their own passport, os if they can't have passport the are stock till they are 18.this is the new situation we find ourselves in the Uk, the are clamping down hard, real hard.
