Really sad! The man must have given up from the time he decided it best to sell all he had back home so he could get out of Nigeria. For any human being to settle for a life as a cleaner, rather than go back, tells of how resolved he is to take what he has now over what he used to have.

I hope he gets his asylum if he can.

He could be working 5 jobs. . . . . . .Cleaner in the morning, security at nights.
These guys pocket as much as 500-600 pounds everyweek so he is not in a bad shape for a cleaner.

So he should go back to Nigeria where there's no security, no light, no hope, no prospects and rot away??
Come on. . . . . . .He is 10000000 times better off here being a cleaner here.
U would be surprised he feeds relatives and friends regularly with his wages.

There are thousands of PhD holders who come over here to become mere cab drivers. Look around you, there are plenty of people who do that daily. People who are willing to risk death to get out. Do a search on Immigrants and boats on google and you will get quite a lot of news articles on how people take this risk and some even die along the way.

And let's not decieve ourselves into thinking that cleaners do not have good lives. There are cleaners who go on to start their own businesses, own their own homes, cars and live pretty well. It all depends on how much work the individual is willing to put into becoming successful.

It's a safer bet. . . . . .No armed robbers, no malaria carrying mosquitoes, no ritualists, no child molesters who drill nail in people's heads.
Their situation can change any moment so some of em are keeping the faith as they can be granted amnesty at any time.
Look at the situation here:

* There are between 310,000 and 570,000 illegal immigrants in the UK, according to Home Office estimates

* If allowed to live legally, they would pay more than £1bn in tax each year

* Deporting them would cost £4.7bn and leave acute shortages of cleaners, care workers and hotel staff cIf allowed to stay, the net benefit of
nearly £6bn would pay for 300 new schools, 12 district hospitals or 200,000 new nurses

* Nearly 50% of foreign-born immigrants leave Britain within five years

* Migrants fill 90% of low-paid jobs in London and account for 29% of the capital's workforce. London is the UK's fastest-growing region

* Legal migrants comprise 8.7% of the population, but contribute 10.2% of all taxes. Each immigrant pays an average of £7,203 in tax, compared with    
  £6,861 for non-migrant workers

* There were 25,715 people claiming asylum last year. If allowed to work, they would generate £123m for the Treasury

The stats are worrying especially with the economic recession. . . . . .
Removing these immigrants would cost more than keeping them here.
Expect the amnesty treaty before London 2012(U heard it here FIRST).

Perhaps it will cost more to remove them in one fell swoop but if they tighten immigration rules they can curb new illegals while removing the few they can remove a yr.

If selling the family house/land is true, he probably did with family concurrence throwing all that asset as an investment in his stay abroad.  It's a pity.  Where is DeepZone, she need to come and see her next of kin.

A few centuries, decades and years ago when the Brits and others were going to other people's land and discovering no one asked them for visa.

if the indians had asked Columbus and the pilgrims for visas there'd be no US today . . . the world is never fair eh.

the most intriguing for me is the case in South Africa. Seems white SAs where allowed to resettle in England after apartheid fell in 1994, curiously the blacks werent given the same status.
