In spite of a loud outcry, Winifred Agimelen and her three children have been sent back to Nigeria after living in Montreal for six years.
The Canadian government deportation of Winifred Agimelen and her three children to Nigeria Sunday night hit a temporary snag, as it turned out that the mother did not have a necessary Nigerian visa for her third child, who is Canadian.
In spite of the visa issue, the family of four boarded a plane out of Montreal. Agimelen's current husband is a landed immigrant who lives here, but he does not have official custody rights for the Canadian child.

Protesters are decrying the forced deportation, as the order to leave stems from a complicated maze of immigration procedures that will divide the family and possibly subject them to danger in West Africa.
The three children were fathered by her ex-husband. The third was conceived in Nigeria but born in Canada.
Agimelen fled Nigeria after her first husband disappeared, possibly killed by people his father owed money to. She was kidnapped with her children and her daughter was threatened with genital mutilation as part of that affair. She arrived in Montreal six years ago.
The traumatic experience is believed to have the caused psychological damage to her eldest child and led her to flee to Canada.
The woman's lawyer worries that the child will not develop well in Africa.

He’s not going to receive services in Nigeria. There’s no kind of therapy in Nigeria,” said Agimelen’s lawyer Angela Potvin. “We don’t understand how Nigerian society works. It’s a much more dangerous place than we know.”
A distraught Agimelen told CTV Montreal that the expulsion and separation from her husband will be very challenging.
“Mostly I’m worried about the safety of my children because there is so much violence in Nigeria. There’s news about kidnapping children in Nigeria. There’s Boko Haram and Ebola in Nigera, it gives me so much fear for me and my children,” she said.
She says she has no place to stay in Nigeria and fears she will be targeted. She can’t return to her hometown because she was subject to violence there, she explained.
Agimelen initially filed to stay in Canada as a refugee but has since married a man with landed resident status. He was deemed to be four months short of being permitted to sponsor Agimelen as his wife.
Last Friday Potvin applied for a five month extension to allow Agimelen’s immigration application to be administered without her being forced to go to Nigeria, but it was denied.
Potvin says that the change of a single word in the rules has prevented the Canadian Border Services Agency from allowing the family to stay together, based on the difficulties it will pose to the eldest child.
“One child has PTSD from this kidnapping in Nigeria and there’s jurisprudence that says this constitutes a ‘special circumstance’ but there was a subtle change made in the act. It used to say that someone could be removed as soon as 'practicable' but now it says 'as soon as possible,’” she said.

These asylum seekers are they very people given foreigners a wrong impression of Nigeria and Africa. Heap of lies for what exatly? To remain in Canada i guess? What a shame! You sell yourself worth over something you can have on a platter. I won't be surprise if she's either Edo or Igbo(no tribal bashing intended pls), over and over again, they same people continue to bring our name to disrepute all in the name of greener pasture. This is no good to our image and the earlier gov't do something serious to cushion it effect, the better.

Governments in the West know the true conditions in Nigeria so it is important if you're going to make up stories in order to meet some of the requirements that qualify you to stay in one of these foreign nations that you make up plausible ones. Right now in Nigeria the condition does exists, which qualifies anyone as refugee, exploited or threatened enough for asylum abroad.

In the other video where she was interviewed on the street, she said Nigeria has Ebola and boko haram would kidnap her children. She also said mad people would attack her children on the street.

Even though she would likely be back in a year or two. By then the husband in Canada would have the right to sponsor her and the children, she till went on portrayed naija in a very bad way like she would be killed once she steps foot in Lagos, as if most part of Nigeria is inhabited by wild animals.

This is a proper naija chic, she knows how to lie. Nigerians are born with the gift of lying, you can identify them anywhere through their proficient ability to spin complex lies.

She must be the most persecuted person in Nigeria, her ex husband was killed by his fathers creditors, she & her daughter are being hunted by people seeking to kidnap or mutilate their genitals, her eldest child has developed psychological damage as result of their traumatic experience.. Lool c'mon has anyone seen a naija child develop psychological damage?? Naija children are hard as nails, both mentally & physically. Traumatic experiences are an everyday affair for Nigerians.

This woman obviously understands the system, she knows Canada being one of the leading nations on human rights, she stands a better chance if she claims her human rights are in jeopardy & highlights the dangers her & her kids face in Nigeria hence the mentioning of various ills.

She's just unlucky to be in Canada, this her story will play perfectly in the UK, ooohh!! This is the kind of stories they like, the type Nigerians have been using to fool the British authorities. It works everytime, nothing appeals to them more than a mother trying to protect her kids from persecution, in fact at the mention of genital mutilation, she'd be given her residency permit instantly.

I sympathise with the woman though, she can't be blamed for seeking a better life for her kids, a life Nigeria can't provide.

The woman didn't giveva bad impression of the country, she gave an accurate impression of the country so except you've got a problem with the truth being said, you should shut your mouth.
