@goshen
dont mind him
they areBeaf's people
recruited to demoralize
they tried to do the same to the UK ProEtstors but were unsuccesful, they posted all sorts of things to discourage them hiding under the same guise and same modus oprendi, click UK protest page on the front page you will see what i am talking about

goshen360:

You are wrong! Undocumented immigrants dont get deported without a crime. I live here in the US and the fact you dont hv residence doesnt mean you cannot express yourself. So it is not right for you to say that, thanks

UgoBabe:

WHAT RUBBISH!!!! UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS if picked up stand the risk of getting deported back to where they came from - whether they committed a crime or not,

You try being the undocummented immigrant expressing yourself without having the right to be here LEGALLY!!!! , and come back and tell us how your ordeal was, i think it would behoove you not to draw attention to yourself until you get your situation sorted out,  leave all that rights talk for later, i live in the US bullcrap so what? clap for yourself

It will be insane to assume that civilized security outfits just go out and "pick" people up like fruits!. . that's only possible in one place in the entire world--> NIGERIA!!

People don't get accosted in the street for their immigration status, unless such a person is involved in something illegal or the Border force have specific information.

They actually do ya know. UK border force are known to turn up unannounced at major transport hubs. Their was a particular case in one of 'em recent UK border force series on tv whereby some dude was picked up at stratford station

UgoBabe:


i get annoyed by people like you who assume that only bad comes from nigeria or as in this your comment there is an underlying assumption that nigeria is opposite from civilized,

violent:

OK i agree, maybe my statement was in the absolute.  Yes, they have the power to do so, but it will only happen in very unusual once a blue moon circumstance.  I haven't heard of any other case outside of this stratford scenario!

It will particularly be unwise to think the UK border force or even the Police could accost a specific group of peaceful protesters who have in all likelihood obtained permissions ahead of the protests, if they do so, they run the risk of being reported or embarrassed for harassment. There's a report on daily mail that the Police are often very careful about asking a detained suspect about his/her immigration status, cos they are careful of being embarrassed for racism and what not.


you may have mistaken me, my argument is not that only bad comes from Nigeria, my argument is that Nigeria is a fcking hell---the devil's own personal abode!. . .tell me just a single thing that is civilized about Nigeria, just one!

@ugobabe

You ask what effect Nigerians protesting in Western countries have on the issues back home. I'll tell you how it helps: for one thing it brings the issues burning back home to the forceful notice of the government of the country where the protest happens; it sensitizes the people of that country, wins sympathy and builds a quiet, powerful, clamour as the local people add their voices--- this gives our problem a global shape, and global means more pressure on the Jonathan administration; if all Nigerians in the different countries in the West hold their own protests, that not only gives the Nigerians protesting at home the courage to soldier on, knowing Nigerians outside of our shores feel, empathize, with the problems back home, it also makes the effect of our protests multi-fanged, so that it seems that the Jonathan administration is being attacked from every direction all at once. Eventually it would cause the home government to switch sides (if they have been on Jonathan's) if we make enough noise, and show that all Nigerians share a collective humanity, a collective heart, and if my brother or sister suffers at home, I suffer wherever I am anywhere in the world.
This is why we protest. I hope you will join.

queensmith:

long story short- you can protest regardless of your immigration status. your unlikely to be checked for your status unless u are doing something unlawful

i must point out those being picked up at stratford station were probably travelling without a valid ticket. over courageous if u ask me

so once again dont be discouraged by bad belle people trying to make u feel bad, u can live life to the fullest without papers, so long as u stay out of trouble!

goshen360:

You have just raise unnecessary argument here. I stand by my word. People perish for lack of knowledge while other fear for unknown. We are talking about New York and Nigeria house in New York, not protesting against government of the US. Every state in the United States are bind by their immigration law under the federal law. New York state is not a state anti-immigrant state unlike some core white states. If you are talking about core white states here on this subject of protesting, then i will agree with you. I live in New York and know this thing. Infact, NY survive by undocumented immigrants. Do you know how many undocumented are here in NY that still express their protest in occupied wall street. If fear is your issue, it's not mine.

queensmith:

^^ i dont see why anybody will raise the point of illegal immigrants when we are talking about protests. Thats just bad belle. Unless u have seen a case in britain or new york where protestors have been arrested for ilegally entering the country then you have brought up an irrelevant point.

these are people (illegal or otherwise) living in a 100x more comfortable a country yet still taking time out to protest for those that are suffering. What does anybodies status have to do with this?
