In August 1,1938 enslaved men, women, and children in the British Empire finally became fully free after a period of forced apprenticeship following the passing of the Slavery Abolition Act in1833.

Illegal Nigerian immigrants have now claimed UK, as the new federal capital territory of Nigeria, as a result of the population of Nigerians living in UK, and also because of the ease with which Nigerians commute from Lagos/Abuja to London, as if they were commuting from Surulere to Ikoyi, it must be however said, that beneath the façade and the false-image of living the UK good life which Nigerians living in UK portray to their families and friends back home, the reality actually shows the opposite.  

 The problem starts with coming into UK as a visitor or tourist, Nigerians are always in a hurry to ‘check out’ of Nigeria just like Andrew in the famed federal government patriotism TV advertisements, in doing so, they fail to take advantage of other legitimate routes of emigrating to the UK as professionals, Information on such UK migration schemes such as the highly skilled migrant programme and the working holiday maker visas are readily available on the internet but some of us don’t see it because of our mad rush and impatience. Also some have failed to explore other opportunities such as simply applying as health care or educational (teachers/lecturers) professionals, acute shortages of staff in the UK health and educational sectors have opened up this option and nationals from other countries are exploiting the opportunity, but Nigerians have not, preferring rather the short-term route of coming as visitors.

 It used to be that in the past, it was a bit easier for Nigerians to ‘do what they had to do’ in UK in order to obtain their residence permits, but now the EU expansion, and the influx of eastern Europeans into the UK has meant that residency laws have been toughened, on this front, things are no longer as they used to be. Inability to obtain official residency papers is what condemns Nigerians to the low life they live in UK as illegal immigrants, without any state or social entitlements. In the long term, it is not a lifestyle that one would wish on even his enemies; as a result, people are stuck ‘in’, and can’t get ‘out’, as they wouldn’t be able to come back in if they venture out. This has ensured that some Nigerians have not been able to visit their country of birth in a long while, and this adds to their alienation and frustration. 

 And so once they find themselves in UK, they are stuck with the lowly-paid jobs, such as flipping burgers at McDonalds or cleaning other people’s ‘shit’. Life becomes a bore and a drag as they jump from one bus to the other on their way to start the next shift; a sad and hectic life that they must live in order to afford UK’s very exorbitant living expenses.

 There are always people out to make a fast buck from you in London, the town is almost becoming a soul-less city like Lagos, for those stuck in the poverty cycle and living below the bread line (22% of the UK population live in poverty, 1 out of 5 of the population), this type of living surely can’t be good, from the £70 weekly room rents in shared flats and houses, to the over £5 day travel cards, there is also the utility bills (gas and electricity), which is operated on a pay- as- you -use basis, there is no NEPA or NITEL in London to bribe their officials, if your meter credit runs out, then it is between you and your God to save you from freezing in the cold winter.  

 It is at this stage that those who abandoned their lives and career back home, for a ‘rosy’ life in UK begin to regret their decisions, they have no one to complain to, else they will be considered failures. As calls are made to family and friends back home, the moods are saddened the more by the news of career progressions and promotions of colleagues the person has left behind.

Tunde Olusola Badero (Mayegun) is a Nigerian from Odogbolu Local Government area in Ogun State.Badero abandoned his kids and wife for the United Kingdom many years ago with the aim of earning a big boy status.

Unlike many Nigerians/Africans who will have to do all sorts of dirty jobs in UK for survival Tunde Badero opted for something different and strange as he willinly turn himself to a sex tool in the hand of a 45 year old white lady in Glasgow.

Slavery was officially brought to an end in 1938.The question is why would Badero Olusola and other Africans decided to deliberately enslave themselves?Why would an African man that was brought up in a decent environment turn a SEX MACHINE all in a desperate attempt to acquire British passport?

Back home in Nigeria,provision of food, cloth and shelter are the core duties of men while cooking of food and cleaning of the house are the duties of house wifes.I am surprise that Olusola Badero can easily dish his native culture for the lure of British passport.

Badero's Nigerian wife and kids are in abject poverty back home in Odogbolu Nigeria. The woman is not happy that his husband is now a intimacy gadget in the hand of a white woman.Nigerian men now cycle around Badero's wife as the woman needs help to be able to cater for herself and the kids.
 
Some Nigerians living in the UK always have this false assumption that those they have left behind in Nigeria won’t be climbing the social and economic ladders as well, that they will be waiting for them to come back to Nigeria in their flashy cars, fancy clothes and fake accents to ‘oppress’ them. Sadly this is not the case. By my own estimates, at least 2 out of every 3 Nigerians living in UK will gladly swap places for a settled life and career in Nigeria, no wonder the careers in Africa recruitment event and many of such ‘return to Africa’ schemes are proving to be big hits.

It is better for Mayegun to get stuck into a lowly- paid job rather than SEX SLAVERY.
