Lol.
Your dad is a Lebanese immigrant to Nigeria; and you don't even know his whereabout. SEE DEFENSIVE LIES!

That's why you should never take another man's home as your own. Your home can't deport you.

Bad reporting

What did he do? What is the Home Office's reason for declaring him illegal after all these years?

d guy really doesn't look like a Nigerian. Even his names are quite common with Lebanese. The young man is in some kind of dilemma. If not that he was a child when he started living in UK, one would have laid d blames on him. But anyway, when in a foreign land be as gentle and decorous as possible, that that's what pays at least in d interim.
he does not look Nigerian BT he has a Nigerian name..even his brother Remi I think.(tho ,that's for those who know them personally).all na hustle grin.truly,he left naija when he was 14..he was my highschool mate.

Detained at the Tinsley House Immigration Centre at Gatwick Airport in West Sussex on November 29, 29-year-old Bilal Fawaz , who represented the UK 6 times in boxing, currently ranked the 3rd best middleweight in England, and was the 2012 ABA light-middleweight champion, currently faces deportation to Nigeria where his parents emigrated when he was just 14.

Fawaz who is now married to an English woman, was brought to the UK illegally by an uncle, who told him his father would be arriving soon, but the man never turned up.

The boxer who now calls himself Kelvin, was treated ‘like a slave’, joined bad gangs, got shot once and stabbed 25 times, before he ran away from the home he was living in and was taken into care home where he became a boxer.
Daily Mail reports that Fawaz says his mother is dead and he has no idea where his father is.

He also says he’s stateless, as his parents were Lebanese immigrants to Nigeria, and did not have Nigerian citizenship themselves. He said:
“I am a national champion — in 2014 I even boxed for England against Nigeria, the country they want to deport me to.

I have no other family to go back to, I don’t know anyone in Nigeria or anything about it – all I know is here."


Imagine how it feels to represent a country and then to have that country turn around and put you in what feels like a prison.

It was gathered that Labour MP McDonnell and England Boxing have appealed to the authorities on the boxer’s behalf, but without success. The Home Office rejected his application to remain in the UK, and declared his marriage to a British citizen void.

Improper immigration papers and documentation ,being there for a said number of years doesn't really make you a full citizen yet. Get your shit right

He could have committed a serious crime and that is why they are not having him. However,I think he stands a better chance of making a fulfilled life in nigerian jungle with his skills and experience if he can survive the first few years of acclimatization. Uk is good for highly sought after african professionals,i.e,medical doctors and high profile business men and women or thieving politicians.Any other thing is just living from hand to mouth in miserable weather conditions and in homes that looks and feels like prisons.

This nigga must have messed up with the authorities down the line.
The Uk govt can't be hounding to deport his ass like that knowing his sporting potentials.

He must have done something they're not telling us.

Anyway, he should save some money to port to some other country as soon as his ass lands Murtala.
