Just finish reading a sad event that happened only for you to be checking name for been a dullard take this

ma nginwa kwa. Ne ya jide

I can pick a number of holes in the story.... It is NOT just straight...

1) A part of the story says his spanish residency visa expires in few days. Another part claimed he hold spanish PERMANENT residency( which means he can live in Spain forever)

2) He lost his job at a time but travelled to Switzerland to claim benefit. Geographically, Switzerland is in EU but practically they are NOT in EU.

3) He has a visa that is due to expire in Spain in few days yet travel out of the same country to visit a friend in 3 days.

4) What has the friend does? Who is the friend?

Too much issues with his story jare

Welcome back home.

"In 2014, I lost my job and went to Switzerland to solicit for social benefits, which is not a crime. After five months of application, they denied me, saying that I could only apply for that in Spain where I came from."

That's what's called taking out the trash.

The Swiss colluded with the Spaniards to do this because of the immigrants crime.

Good luck to him. There's as such walking around in Ibadan too from Germany I think.

4nobody4every1:
Spot on, Swiss is a freaking hard place for Black immigrants especially those of Nigerian decent, l have few friends there who are citizens but they are Nigerians and they tell me what they go through there despite their citizenship.

Are you serious,
They mistreat blacks in Swiss

He said he was going to see his friend in Switzerland, I strongly suspect he was going to Switzerland to exploit the social security system for a second time, and he was caught this time. He might have being a Permanent Resident of Spain, but permanent residency can be revoked. I believe Switzerland and Spain worked together to deport him, Switzerland cannot unilaterally deport someone with valid permanent residence of an EU country.

Blame the federal government and Nigerian Embassy in Switzerland for everything. They signed bilateral agreement with swiss govt to deport any Nigerian caught in any act. Reason of the agreement is because of looted Abacha money. Other countries dont accept deportation of their citizens back home. Naija govt should change becouse their corruption has caused pains to her citizens.

At least here, a permanent residency status needs to be renewed.

Too long and boring.

I SUSPECT VILLAGE PEOPLE HAVE A HAND IN THIS.

BY OCTOBER 2016 HE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SPANISH CITIZEN, BUT HE HEARD A VOICE IN SEPTEMBER, TELLING HIM TO COME TO SWITZERLAND WITH HIS TRAVEL DOCUMENTS WHERE THEY SCATTERED EVERYTHING FOR HIM AND BEFORE THE END OF THAT YEAR HE WAS BROUGHT BACK TO NIGERIA LIKE A CRIMINAL. TOO BAD

I was going to point out the same too @embolden. They probably thought he's here again to claim benefits and him telling them he's not here to work raised much dust. When he knew he had few weeks to becoming a citizen, why not be patient and be done with instead he de fly upandan now see Wetin happen. Sorry o!

tearoses:


I think this is where the issue lies
Something he must have said/done/written on his application did not sit well with the Swiss authorities and when he came back again, they grabbed him
His treatment was inhumane though, and that needs to be addressed even if they were going to deport him, they should have treated him fairly. He is a human being

You can only be deported back to the country whose passport you carry. He doesn't have a Spanish Passport so couldn't have been deported back there. The Swiss took time to verify his Spanish residency permit scheduled to expire and by the time they got a response, it was already expired.

Hmmm welcome home. though home get K lege but manage

Nelkoko:
even if I live in a shithole in Nigeria am proud to b a king....dis can't happen

Who told you it cant happen in Nigeria?Go to any Nigerian prison you will see a lot of innocent people languishing in detention for crimes they did not commit. Just condemn the injustice and move on. Stop encouraging yourself that Nigeria treats her citizens better.

'Here' as in Spain?

Please educate me more on this

Reading his ordeal gives me a feeling that he was satanically manipulated...

bee444:
Let's get one thing straight, shall we? You're living in Spain, and went to Switzerland to claim benefit if I get you right! OK. As a professional individual with vast experience in immigration matters, you have committed fraud.
Now listen, A Spanish citizen can go to any EU country and claim benefit, no crime in that. A permanent resident of Spain have no right whatsoever to do same. A permanent resident can only claim benefit in a country where that PR was issued.

His crime are in two folds..

A. He claimed benefit in Switzerland
B. He claimed benefit whilst still working in Spain.

He was badly misinformed by his friend about the procedure of getting benefit in another EU country without being a citizen of Spain. Though technically, Switzerland is not a member of the EU, but they've inculcated most of EU laws into their own system. They have Free trade with EU and do most things together.

He got greedy just like most of them. Spanish authority won't issue him another visa because they work hand in hand with other EU countries.

Welcome to Nigeria. Malaysia I'm sure would be on your mind now...if so, death warrant is already issued.

And why travel to Switzerland with just few weeks to you applying for citizenship? That shows you knew what you were doing. You want to play the system. Greediness killed you bro.

Hope you get a second chance in life. Sh*t happens

It is unfortunate you allowed your prejudice to devalue what should otherwise have been a good piece. This is one of those cases where a guy misunderstood his own status leading to European racists seeing him as a criminal.

.omo dis story is not straight.. .i smell lies ...it does not jux connect...dey cant jux detain u fr no reason..dy must have found sometin implicating on u sir

I don't blame you... travel and see. They purposely detained him so his papers would expire. It's a common thing in Switzerland.
I blame the guy, he for attack and seriously injure the Swiss guy with him on the plane when they entered Nigeria. At least that would have been his revenge.

Akolawole:

Sure.

Here as in the USA but many countries have similar laws.

"When to Renew a Green Card

You should renew your green card if you are a permanent resident with a Form I-551 valid for 10 years and the card is either expired or will expire within the next 6 months."

https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/after-green-card-granted/renew-green-card

God bless u bro we r thinking along the same line, that was where he got it all wrong he shouldn't have done that. Oyinbo no like black man for them to have rejected him the first time of the so called benefits and he comming for the second time they simply concluded that he is an illegal whom will constitute a nuissance. However him saying he have a job over ther in spain and still seeking benefits in switzerland call for suspicion by the authorities. I think that was why they took such action. Ndo! My brother may God see u through but my sincere advice is dat u start processing of ur docs all over again dat might help u alot and re-apply for schengen visa from spain they may consider u based on the fact of how u were treated and also based of the fact u were of good conduct while u living in their country. However also pray that ur village witches should be sleeping when they will go through ur case to avoid another badluck o! Pele God will help u.

@Ateri, let me at least address your misconception. You see, the guy never misunderstood his status. He travelled to Swiss and applied for benefit whilst still working in Spain. He knew he won't get benefit in Spain 'cause he was still working. He needed extra cash and called his friend in Switzerland who advised him to come over and claim benefit. And because of greed and ignorance (not doing his research), he travelled and applied.

Now, after submitting his claim, he went back to Spain. Five months after applying, the result came in, he was denied. And needing to know the reasons behind the rejection, and devising other reasons to apply and appeal his rejection, he travelled again to Switzerland. This time, he was stopped by an immigration officer who digged in into his travel history and hit the jackpot. Officer found out he already applied for benefit whilst holding a resident permit of Spain. He was interviewed, admitted he applied for benefit and was detained. Passport and resident permit was seized and confiscated. Swiss govt approached their Spanish counterpart, and an agreement was made to deport him.

Now, was I there? No, but experience and speculation of events always narrate itself.

He regretted making that decision. In his interview with the press, he time without number mentioned how he would have been a citizen of Spain had he not gone to Switzerland to claim benefit.

Now, does racism played its part in getting him deported? Absolutely. But then, was he the architect of his own misfortune? Absolutely. A white man would have been banned from Switzerland for certain years for committing fraud, but still get handed his passport and resident permit.

"He that comes to equity must come with a clean hand". Let's strive to be honest, at least for once.

Thank you

What I noticed in London recently is the sudden increase in the population of Spanish speaking immigrants. The economy in Spain is on the floor. What I think happened to this guy was, he wanted to relocate to Switzerland because there was no work in Spain. I believe he thought he could do that with his permanent residency in Spain. On getting to Switzerland, he was with friends who had always been working so they couldn`t give him reliable info, so he applied for benefit because he had nothing on him. That is my theory!.

Or

After showing urself in ur village, ur kinsmen visited Arusi apiriapi on ur behalf..

Something like that i think.

Omo the story no get head ohh. Im don commit for some where

I'm not here to play hate, blame games. Just here to advise my brethren overseas.

Please oh, while you're there, save a lot of cash in your Nigerian account, as in plenty money in the account, invest back home, build house, buy car, just do something for house, Europe nor be we home, one day dem must see one thing wey you do then just send you back.

The Spaniards connived with the Swiss and sent this guy home, why? Because if they decide to do so themselves he might have an edge and come back, this way he is totally KOed if there is any word like that
