UKmugs:

I think your government should do something about Nigerians in the UK.  In one day we have two news items, front page of The Sun online, one conman and a health tourist.   Why is it any time one reads about Nigerians it all about crime or fleecing an individual or the host countries' tax payer?

[b]'disgrace to Nigerians in diaspora'

Don't you feel embarrassed to mentioned you are Nigerian?  I certainlty would. May be you should say you from Mauitania. Few people knows this country and its people

Siena:

Nope. I don't feel embarrassed to say I'm Nigerian. Only a b[i]a[/i]sta[i]r[/i]d would deny his / her race.

Good one

You're better off admitting you're from Poland, at least English isn't their first language.

@ beeke,

Must one express the same opinion as yours?  

we all share divergent views, u do not need common sense  to even see that, DO U?

You should be tolerant of views at variance with yours.

Next time u feel the irresistible urge to hurl such ugly curses  please do us
the honor of taking a brisk stroll, to go hug a wet  PHCN trans-forma!

Gutter mouth!

Siena:

Chei!  Brother Beeke, no need to insult Claremont. I don't agree with him, nor his motives for starting this thread, but I get my points across without resorting to threats and verbal abuse.

I can understand your anger though.

i read with amusement the posts on this Nigerian woman

the babies are so innocent and don't deserve this publicity

I will not support this woman's behavior, it has only shown that she is not a straight person.

First of all she abused the use of drugs.

For someone in her right state of mind, i believe she knew that her actions has consequences and she stood the chance of multiple babies.

I dont believe her claim that she didnt know that she was expecting more than one baby. she endangered her life and the babies by her acts.

I dont want to be judgemental but her actions have further dented the image of Nigerian. it is stated in the visa that "no recourse to public funds", so regardless of her situation, how does she qualify for public funds?

She took a decision and she shld have crossed her "t' and dotted her "i'.

for her to now said that all her families are based abroad and she doesnt have a roof over her head here in Nigeria doesnt sound true to me.

for the sake of the young kids, i pray that her visa shld be extended so that her kids can be strong enough to travel back and she shld be sent home to care for her kids here.

She shld just go ahead and plan her return pending the time, am sure she'll be shocked at the level of support she receive from friends, extended family, religious grps here cos WE LOVE BABIES HERE and we know they are nothing but gifts from above.

She shld appeal to NGOs here as well the state and federal government to help in anyway possible (clear the bills).

I will not support her fight to stay there against their laws.

Let's not because of this moment forget tomorrow. enough damage has been done to the image of this country and every little effort made by everyone of us to redeem the image will go a long way.

Thank you

Mrs Ayelabola, whose 37-year-old husband, Ohi, remains in Nigeria, has signed a five-figure deal with a red-top newspaper.

This woman has allegedly signed a five figure deal with a red top newspaper:

Not only did she abuse the system, she is now seeking to profit from her abuse of the system.

She abused the system by THEFT and FRAUD
The UK NHS is for tax paying UK citizens not all comers from every poor country.
She had the money to pay airfare so should pay health bills.
One good thing will come of this.
All pregnant women in UK, US & Europe will be made to pay FIRST before birth.
No pay ---Out on street!!!!

coogar:

ohh, shut up your mouth. . . . .what do you know about uk nhs? from the confines of your ojuelegba abode, you are discussing nhs and uk tax? wow!
like the mp of hackney have said, they cannot turn back anyone needing medical help. it's the system that is faulty, not this woman.
a lot of other foreign internationals come here everyday to deliver kids and there's never been any outcry. it only got serious because this woman is nigerian(scapegoats) and the number of the babies she delivered.

gohome:

Shame. You posted a link that you obviously did not read, I guess you forgot this part
Last night, from behind a closed door, Mrs Ayelabola said: ‘I am not happy about what has been written about me, that is not what I told them. You need to speak to my lawyer, I do not want to comment.’

naijababe:

Debo! Debo!! Debo!!! Na how many times I call u so? You were too lazy to read your link abi ? And since when did u begin to read the daily mail sef?

LadyT:

I'm in shock people actually believe this woman is in the right.
There are no two ways about it. She is a fraud a liar and a reckless person. She's not some poor person she's well off I can't wait to laugh at her supporters when she's exposed.

coogar:

how is she a fraud? i guess you dunno what the meaning of that word is. . . . .she travelled to england on a nigerian passport - is that fraudulent?
she was pregnant before she left nigeria - is that a fraudulent act? her water broke prematurely at 32 weeks - is that fraudulent? she delivered her kids 2 months ago in hackney hospital - is that fraudulent? where is the fraud?

she's not some poor person - i am guessing your employer produces her payslip for you to know she can cough out 50 million naira on child delivery alone. not even mike adenuga would drop that without feeling the pinch. truth is. . . .no average nigerian can cough out £200k in medical bills - in that regard, the woman is not rich enough to afford such. she is not a liar and neither is she reckless.

LadyT:

No sure who you are trying to convince here. But she's a fraud because she obtained a visitors visa with the sole aim of coming here on a permanent basis. She's a fraud because it costs a lot of money to obtain a visa and buy a ticket. This is probably not her first time in the UK it was all planned.

Who said it will cost 50million in nigeria or any other African country with good health care. You cannot compare pounds to naira. Are you telling me other people have not had multiple births in nigeria and it cost millions

She clearly stated all her family are here who can help her raise her kids.

To me the level of emotion people are displaying is over the top. I suggest we all look at the facts

“Emotions are running very high on this thread. 

Someone (a poster) mentioned the case of kuwaiti nationals in a similar situation. The big difference is that the Kuwaiti government stepped in and paid up. I think if we conduct a poll on this board (on whether the Nigerian government will stand up to deliver in the same way), we all know what the results are likely to be”.

@Gohome,

You said my comments above ‘’were not completely true’’. Which part exactly? The part (as posted by Amarush) about the Kuwaiti government footing the bill for a Kuwaiti couple in the same situation as Mrs Bimbo & spouse? Or the part about the average Nigerian’s (on this forum) expectations about the Nigerian government doing something similar? Which part please?

[b]“Its a pity you have been reduced to this. you are definitely not human. What is your own problem with this woman that is not even a criminal. You complain about taxpayers money, rubbish. do you know how much of my tax is used to foot the bill in Libya. Do you know how much of my tax is used to foot the bill of lazy white citizens? have you asked yourself how much the royal wedding cost? sometimes in life we are faced with choices in which we choose the lesser of two evil, on humanitarian ground, which is also very legal this babies should be given citizenship (God bless America). We are talking about babies here, traumatizing the woman by slamming her with this kind of bill can affect the woman which will also affect the babies. Its possible this woman dint plan this. She probably took those fertility drugs just to be able to conceive and not to give birth to 5kids Shes got relatives in Britain, i am sure they wont be in support of her action. who will feed this children. Even a senior manager with 60000 pound per annum and a 50% tax( not to talk of council tax and accommodation) here in the UK cant afford to feed the woman, not to talk of 5 kids

Stop be selfish about image this image that, the media is twisting your brains. When it comes to mending immigration laws, Nigerians would definitely not be in the top ten least. you stay in the Uk you should know better.”[/b]


@Gohome:

Your post above was directed to Claremont and not me to begin with so I can’t say much about it. However, i do agree with you that if indeed you are a UK taxpayer, you are well within your rights to have a say in how your money is spent. Just as millions of other UK taxpayers who may have a contrary opinion have the same right to be heard.

“Judge, why do you base your assertions over THESUN investigation. Have you heard this woman's story. Do you think this woman wanted to give birth to five kids.  go and ask your mother what it felt like when she gave birth to you. And stop saying illegality. It is not. at least not yet. She is Human. Those kids are too. She can file by using humanitarian grounds, if she wins, its not illegal. its still the law. Illegality, moral and ethics are different things. Illegality is logic, moral and ethics are relative. I wouldn't call illegal the flamboyant lifestyles of our MPs and Royal family illegal, buh damn i will call it unethical.”

@Gohome,

My “assertions” which you refer to above, have nothing to do with the SUN newspaper. Mrs Bimbo’s story is in the public domain, and for every paper that has tried to damn her as one more in a long line of ‘foreign spongers’, there’s one which is at least a bit sympathetic to her case. The key facts in her case are relatively clear. And sir, without intending to be legalistic about it, it seems that Mrs. Bimbo has breached the terms under which she was granted entry to the UK. That sir, is the illegality I was referring to in my post. Perhaps she and her solicitors may have some new information to disclose but as at now, this is all we have to go on.

And sir, be careful when you say things like “morality and ethics are relative”. We can use comments like that to justify anything and everything under the sun.

@ Claremont,
CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THE UK MEDIA? HOW DID THE BILLS REACHED 200K POUNDS? DID SHE STAY 10 YEARS IN HOSPITAL? IF THE HOSPITAL INFLATES FIGURES TO STEAL FROM GOVT,  WILL YOU JOIN THEM AGAINST YOUR OWN NAIJA SISTER YOU TALK ABOUT REPUTATION, WHO HAS WORST REPUTATION BETWEEN UK AND NIGERIA? HAVE YOU FORGOTEN THAT SAME UK YOU ARE PROUD OF  ENTERS NIGERIA LONG AGO WITHOUT ANY VISA OR RESIDENT PERMIT. IN ADDITION TO ILLEGAL ENTRY, THEY COMMITED GRAVE CRIME BY DETHRONING OUR VARIOUS GOVERNMENT AND  RULED US AGAINST OUR OWN WILL. THEY TAXED, LOATH, STOLE, ENSLAVE, AND KILLED US IN THOUSANDS IN OUR OWN LAND WITH IMPUNITY. AFTER ALL THEIR CRIMES, THEY MERGED US WITH PEOPLE WE DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT, THEREBY CAUSING THE BIAFRA WAR THAT KILLED MILLIONS. HOW MANY NIGERIAN HAVE DONE SUCH HENIOUS CRIME IN THE UK, AND U ARE TALKING OF IMAGE?
