UK is renowned as a not-so-immigration friendly. I wish the mother and son good luck.

You think she has no reason being concerned about Boko Haram? Why not? What if the only family she has stays in the north


By the way, nobody seem to be answering the question here. If the boy was born in the UK, why is he facing deportation?


I think being born there doesn't qualify for automatic citizenship. Also the only known relative I.e the mother is an illegal immigrant about to be deported. Who's gonna look after the child which begs the question who is the father.

God bless that judge,send her back to Nigeria lying woman,you are ready to lie about your country just for your selfish self.

The best interest of the child was not considered. There are loads of illegals living in UK, how is theirs a threat to the UK public that will warrant such a hasty evil deportation. Where will they start from and how do they expect a child who has never lived outside UK to cope. The child deserves the right to live in UK under humanitarian grounds even if failed asylum or discretionary leave outside the rules. No Judge will authorize the deportation of this child. Shame.

They are far from genuine....... All I see is desperation to remain in the UK.
Boko haram is deeply rooted in the north east while the ones bearing the name Atanda lives in the South west. Now trying to paint whole country black because she wants to stay makes her claims false.
I'm sure her claims that her parents and siblings died in a motor accident is definitely a lie, like say you no know your fellow Nigerian.

few questions:
who is the baby's father?
prob not a citizen or perhaps an illegal like herself which is why the boy is being deported with her

was there boko haram in 2007?

does she live or is from a boko haram affected region?

when you answer all these you will realize no sane judge will let her remain in the uk besides not like she came in legally and could not leave because of trouble back home don't know why some people are so desperate to remain abroad thats how some fool went on hunger strike and claimed he would be attacked by boko haram just because he wanted to stay in the uk smh

Nigerians! SO HATEFUL.... even to a little Boy of 5yrs!

Granted she might have exaggerated her claims but why say she is the one giving Nigeria a BAD NAME?

*Was she the one that kidnapped 250 young girls from their school?
*Was she the one that dropped Container on people's head in Ketu, Lagos?
*Was she the one that beheaded a whole village in Bagga, Borno state?
*Was she the one that raided all the Banks in Ikare, Ekiti State, killing over twenty people, including law enforcement officers?
*Was she the one that is looting the National Treasury on a daily basis?
*Was she the one responsible for 'darkness' in the nation and the attendant fire hazards resulting from usage of Petrol ,Power Generators?
*Is she the one that turned Nigerian Hospitals to Morgues where you go in alive and come out a corpse?
*Is she also responsible for all the PDP Vs. APC killings making the rounds all over the country?
*Is she the one killing Nigerian Soldiers in the North?
*Was she responsible for Biafran failure, was she responsible for OPC mayhem or the Niger Delta militancy and kidnappings?


..I can go one for ever but one thing is sure, HATE THAT LITTLE BOY AS MUCH AS YOU WANT, HE HAS ALREADY SEEN AND LIVED A BETTER LIFE THAN MOST OF YO HATERS!

Sometimes, l wonder what is wrong with Nigerians and their mentality in recent years so much so that most lack any modicum of morality!
Nigerians live the important things but chase after very unnecessary things.

I can bet anyone here, that boy will be back in U.K (assuming he has been deported already) because the Brits are not as "hatefully wicked" as the current generation of Nigerians living in that H-hole of a country, they st times will show human compassion unlike my fellow Nigerians.

When he is back, the lot of you will still be doing your "suffering and smiling" and hoping God will come down from heaven to come and solve your problems for you (even though he gave you a brain, like he gave every other humanbeing) not knowing that God sees the wickedness of your hearts ....and it is sure folly, to plant "weed" and expect to harvest '"flour".


Purge yourself of Evil thoughts...God cannot be mocked.

Sentiment!!!! Which is what is killing Nigeria. She was unlucky, she was illegal, they caught her and their judge already ruled, if they go ahead to deport her and the child they obeyed their law and immigration rule. Simple.

Well, there might be security issues but a lot of us are here and not dead. That's how civilized and developed countries behave, they obey rule of law and not moved by sentiments like us Nigerians. She illegally entered another country and by law she should be removed back to her country. Whites don't mess with the laws, break it and face the repercussions. No be naija whey we dey use man no man or church mind do things.

You may think you just poured your heart out but let me tell you, it make no sense and we don't give a shit.
Nobody should use boko haram as excuse cause the brother and sisters up north east are really the one's that has felt terro and they are not on some western embassy seeking asylum.
sharap,so north east is not part of nigeria?

Next time this woman should do her research. Why nigerians migrate to the UK over canada or America is beyond. If any of those two countries this boy would be a citizen. Either way the mother and boy will probably never step foot back in the UK. From a developed nation with a future to the hell hole called nigeria within 24 hours. Poor boy. He doesn't how his life will now be hell.

All this long talk. My UK people she broke the law. In a country which governs by the rule of law nobody cares about your feelings. It's the LAW.

My naija people. Nigeria is a hell hole and most nigerians abroad would do anything not to return. People are vexing over her story. I've seen people burn their fingerprints to avoid identification and.attempt to suicide not to return.

What's with all the long talk. It's simple

Modified: I just did a google search on the above question and i found out that being born in the UK doesn't qualify you to become a citizen.

While am supporting her

Busybody2: The boy is age 5 and in compulsory full time education which he is entitled to by virtue of his "right to education", hence he is thereby "settled"...get your Solicitor to go through the rule books again ma...Rafeeq has earned the right to live in UK.

The boy offence is staying in a country illegally despite he was born there.
so why threaten to deport only the little boy and leave the mother as if he committed a murder offence or someting, I still dont get it.
Re: UK Wants To Deport 5yr Old Nigerian Boy Rafeeq Atanda, Mum Pleads by Ralphlauren(m): 8:03pm On Jan 24, 2015
His mother's greatest undoing is that she has a criminal record - she was convicted for being in possession of fake documents which gave her the right to work. That's a major NO -NO. UK takes falsification of passports, work permits, etc very seriously. Some people have committed "worse" crime and they've only been slapped with a non-custodial sentence.

I won't be surprised if she was falsely claiming benefits as well.

Her story would have been different if she didn't have such criminal record.

Obama has proposed amnesty for illegal immigrants in the US. One of the major caveats is that they must have NO criminal record.

In summary, if you are going to remain anywhere in the world illegally and you have plans of regularising your stay, then make sure you have NO criminal record.

Born in UK after 1983

You’re automatically a British citizen if you were born in the UK after 1 January 1983 and 1 of your parents was a British citizen or settled here at that time. You don’t need to register.
Your parent has become a British citizen or settled since your birth

You can register to become a British citizen if you fulfil all of the criteria:

you were born in the UK on or after 1 January 1983
you’re under 18 when you apply
one of your parents has become a British citizen or settled in the UK since you were born

Apply using Form MN1. Read the full guidance before you apply.
You lived in the UK until you were 10

You can register to become a British citizen if you were born in the UK on or after 1 January 1983 and neither of your parents was a British citizen or settled at that time.

You must:

be 10 years old, or older
and have lived in the UK until you were 10, or older

You must also normally have spent no more than 90 days outside the UK in each of the first 10 years of your life.


If you spent more time than this outside the UK but there are special reasons for this, you’ll need to explain them on the form.

In reference to the BOLD above

The kid would have qualified if he was 10yrs or older.
The only alternative she had was to hide the kid away with known people which is not adviseable.

In the 70s, there was a max exodus of Nigerians who returned home and left their kids either in a state care home or nanny who would later adopt them. The very well known examples are the Fashanus( UK FOOTBALLERS) and Kriss Akabusi (the British Olympian )

The father of d son is not British or EU citizen that is why they have deport both of them. If happened that the father is EU citizen then only the mother will be deported then his husband will come to Nigeria to file for her. Hope u understand.
