Stripped Completely By British Immigration Officials

U can't fully blame the british officials. Naija guys don spoil our name in the past. They don't trust us anymore. Na we spoil our integrity ourself. To be sincere, it is all our fault. We have given them bad name about ourself

It's simple people if we stopped going to their country and also start treating all their citizens in our country the same way there would be a good balance and they would be forced to change. I would simply say that our government has permitted the BS.

Considering the amount of Nigerians who are illegally in the UK, combined with all the con artists, drug dealers, petty criminals, cheats, 419'ers as a whole, this should be the least of anybodies worries. Considering the damage done to all honest Nigerians by their own people, you should think yourselves lucky that the UK has not closed the border to ALL NIGERIANS PERIOD 

If you want to visit such a great country, sometimes you have to pay the price 

This report does sound very preposterous and I think it would be naive to swallow it hook, line and sinker.

Firstly, if one is singled out for a search by law enforcement officers (at least in countries where the law is upheld), be it in a public/private space), you have a right to question who the official is, why you are being searched and who has authorised the search. I find it very hard to believe that these women were unwilling victims of such indecent physical probing.
Secondly, the aforementioned protocol should be followed and technological advancement means that your outer and inner physiology is clearly visible without an efficacious officer shoving their fist up one's reproductive system.

I may be wrong but seriously doubt it!

It’s funny that people are getting emotional over this topic. Also what’s happening is not racism but profiling. People might not like the idea of profiling but the truth is it does work. There is no way that customs official can screen every single person coming into the country; it will be time and resources prohibitive. But will a little bit of knowledge of what a drug courier will do, what countries they have been to, their demeanor or the way they behave, you can tailor your searches to people that fit that profile. Then as a way of checking that your profile is working, you’ll need to do random searches to see how many people your profile missed. Mind you, just because you fit a certain profile doesn’t mean that you’re concealing drugs; it just means that you’ll be searched thoroughly.

Assuming you were told that there’s a suicide bomber on the same plane as you. Who would you suspect…the Nigerians on the plane or the whites or the Arabs? Or you would not have any suspicion at all? I know I would be looking at the Arabs, then followed by the whites and skip most of the Nigerians. People from certain countries are notoriously known to engage in certain illegal activity but that’s not to say other countries don’t engage in the same activity.

The bottom line is that the lady fit the profile of a drug peddler and as such was justly searched. It is neither racism nor tribalism but profiling and it works.
Also, there are X-ray machines that can show foreign substances in your body, I just don’t know if they work as well as visual inspection.

If this story is true; - Honestly, i don't see anything wrong, they are only trying to do their job. As long as it was a female that carried out the search.

were those puns intended Siena? 

get over it - people get searched all the time, its not a big deal. You now want to turn it into a racial/Nigerian issue - was she beaten up or denied her rights? If you do not subscribe to the screening, they hold the sovereign RIGHT to deny you entry - simple! Entry into the UK or any other country for that matter is a privilege not a right, as long as you are not their citizen.

We should stop hyperventilating over nothing - she was strip searched and started crying? She should direct her angst at her fellow Nigerians who have messed things up for others.

This is sad, but we can’t continue to talk about it and blame everyone about things.
We have the tradition of making nothing… with the exception of noise! it happened to this ladies and it can happen to the rest of us or our mum's, sisters, wives e.t.c.
I started out being bothered with myself, but after going through the thread I realized this will be horror for me if any woman I knew closely was subjected to this.
I guess this has happened to a lot of our women already, I can see a lot of us are concerned but we blame the Nig govt, the British govt, the British people or the customs officers or immigration officers.
It is time we started to be proactive let’s do something about it in this forum you can tell by the quality of postings we have different professionals talking here.
Let’s start to suggest solutions and stop talking about the problems let the lawyers on this thread advice us on next steps let the activists gather us …let the social networkers harness the power of the internet and bring this to the whole world. Even Seun has become a very powerful person in this country or world sef. See who he can reach so easily.
Everybody here doing a little thing can actually contribute to the bringing down of this degradation of our women/people. Let’s act. Let’s take them by surprise. Let everyone not just talk about this problem but also post a suggestion.
Who is in the Nigerian govt? Is it not us? Who is in the police? Why do we talk about govt and all this other guys like they are not us? It’s as if it’s Nigerians versus govt.

this reminds of the many shows Oprah has done on the prejudice faced by many Islamics in America.as much as i don't condone prejudices of any nature but seriously after 9 11 what do these people expect.people neednt be apologetic in taking drastic measures in ensuring the safety of their lives those they love and those around them.

UHM, well, well, well, when you go write post-jamb for Unilag, without them stripping you naked, the way you are search is just like stripping you naked, so i really don't see what is wrong with the search as far as it was a woman that carried out the search.
  With the name Nigeria, and maybe the girl's name sounded like a Yoruba actress's name. that might have caused the extra-length of search they did.
  Too bad but what can those wishing to travel by all means do? bear it!!!!

sometimes i don't blame osama for blowing up this racist ,blood for blood no price no pay it is now time for Nigerians to pay them in their own coins

i'm actually lost wondering what this post gat 2 do wit the topic.
are u confused?
