Pls dont say that again on this NL   , the truth be told, no judge will ever say that, i know this people very well. Even the wife will never allow that. If a white lady have a baby for you, just believe that the baby is for her as she will never allow you to take the baby back home forever unless u escape with the baby

You are yet to prove that he drove under influence

Can you prove more than what we have read from this newspaper? It seems you know more than what we have read from this article

A disabled athlete who has won five gold medals for Britain was set to be deported to Nigeria last night after losing his legal battle to live in the UK.

It is irrelevant what the specific crime is - he was convicted in the court of law and sent to jail no?

~Sauron~:

U don't automatically become a British citizen immediately you marry a Briton. . . . .Stop spreading chaff here.
It takes about 3 years before that process of becoming a British season can be complete.
During that transition period, if he commits any serious offence. . . . .He will get deported to Lagos.

This man married a Brit. . . . . .He has to wait 2 years after marrying her to get his ILR. . . . .
Then he must wait another 12 months before he can convert ILR to a British passport and that is if he does not have a criminal record.
If he does, his application to become a British citizen will be declined and if he commits any offence that lands him in Prison, he can be deported.

honeric01:

you must have skipped alot of information on this issue, go and look at the date he represented Britain in these competitions, he has spent more than 12 years in Britain, so he is even qualified for a passport due to how long he has stayed in the UK, so what are you driving at? you are the one jumping the issue on ground and trying to paint yours to suite your argument.

~Sauron~:

U can spend 30 years in the UK and not get a British Passport.
Maybe that is what confuses you. . . . .400 years in the UK means nowt. . . . .U still have to apply to become a British citizen.
The passport won't fly to come n meet you at home.

honeric01:

but he was allowed to represent their country twice and not even at the same time, so he represented the country without being a citizen, isn't that a violation of the law?

~Sauron~:

It is not!!!

The screening required to represent Britain in any Sporting event is not intense.
Representing Britain in a competition is NOT life threatening. Driving carelessly is life threatening and intensive background checks are done to fish out the bad eggs in cases like this.

honeric01:

what are you driving at? break the law, an international law is not a crime, but driving while already disqualified is a crime?

by the way, who allowed him to drive in the first place when they knew he was disabled?

~Sauron~:

How is it a crime if i say i am British when i am not to a Basketball coach?
How does that affect national security?
Do you know the huge number of Nigerian students who avoided paying international fees in various Universities in this country by lying they were born British? No formal checks are done for such schitzos. You are what you say you are. The English man can't be bovvered about such.

~Sauron~:

So you expect the Police to stand at the entrance of his house and monitor if a disabled man is driving a car out of his house?

tensor777:

You are going off on a tangent here. He was sent to prison for driving under the influence an action which is regarded as a direct threat to human life.
Now you are juxtaposing it with the offence of lying in order to represent the country in sports.

honeric01:

man, try to always make concrete points, he went to an international competition without the country knowing he's not eligible and you are excusing them for that? did he pick himself? and when he was applying, did he blindfold them all before they chose him? if something like this happened, how are you sure this is not a mistaken identity case?

lol, so who issued him his driving license? ghost or he stole it?

~Sauron~:

It is their country. . . . . .They can twist their laws as they so wish.
Of course, the system is not fool proof but the real McCoy is that this man was tried in a court of Law and was found Guilty.
Definitely, his mitigating factor that he once represented Britain in a competition woulda been brought up in Court and the judge can't be arsed about it. He committed a crime and that has put paid to his hopes of ever getting a British passport.

~Sauron~:

What if he didn't possess a driving license before driving?
What if he already had a license before he got disabled?

tensor777:

There are disabled driving licences and specially fitted cars for disabled people. So the question of how he got a driving licence in the first place is neither here nor there.

~Sauron~:

It is their country. . . . . .They can twist their laws as they so wish.

~Sauron~:

How is it a crime if i say i am British when i am not to a Basketball coach?

David Wood, head of criminality and detentions at the UK Border Agency, said: "In light of a number of criminal convictions, Vincent Onwubiko was notified on 13 November 2007 of a decision to make a deportation order against him. We have fully considered his case and made sure that his human rights are not breached. This decision has been reviewed and upheld by an immigration judge. The UK Border Agency has not been presented with a European Court of Human Rights injunction preventing his removal and we have not received any new representations from either Mr Onwubiko or his representatives."

honeric01:

so it's okay if they twist their law and even international law and do as they please with a foreigner they exploited just to satisfy themselves?

so you can be allowed to drive in UK with driving license? a car would be sold to you without showing them your driving license?

you can successfully live in UK for more than 12 years and just 5 months in prison with all these attitude, is that what you are trying to paint or is it that uk is just too f.ucked up that anything goes?

~Sauron~:

Stop being difficult and listen attentively.
If a foreigner commits a crime that attracts a Prison sentence, the judge can authorise his deportation order.
It's a matter of the judge's discretion. This Naija man was slammed with a deportation order cos he's a prolific offender.
SIMPLE!!!! That is the law of the land.

~Sauron~:

Who says you need a driving license in the UK to buy a car? Which planet are you from?

~Sauron~:

If anything goes in the UK, the Naija man would have escaped a Prison sentence and a deportation order.
It is very simple. Do the crime, do the TIME.

~Sauron~:

The Naija man committed a crime and he deserves his punishment.
Whether he's married to a Brit or not does not matter here if he has not converted his ILR into a British passport.
There are people carrying their ILRs for more than 40 years and they cannot convert it into a British passport because of their criminal records and the compulsory test applicants now take to get it.

honeric01:

a traffic offense, didn't kill anyone, don't use the word "CRIME" like he killed someone or despoiled someone, all the offense outlined on the article and traffic related so is deportation the capital punishment for traffic offense?

honeric01:

so he's now a nigerian but when he was winning trophies for them, he was a Briton. to hell with them all

ok, lets say you don't need that to buy a car but they were still the same person that gave him the license when they knew he was disabled and might be a problem to the public driving.

like i said before, he's no longer a Briton after he has been 100% exploited. good point Mr Briton.

yes, a traffic offense, didn't kill anyone, don't use the word "CRIME" like he killed someone or despoiled someone, all the offense outlined on the article and traffic related so is deportation the capital punishment for traffic offense?

eldee:

He commited a crime when he drove while disqualified.
He actually disregarded the concern for public safety by driving after having close shaves.
That was a criminal offence . . . besides anyone in the UK knows that most careless driving cases are DUI cases without undeniable proof.

David Wood, head of criminality and detentions at the UK Border Agency, said: "In light of a number of criminal convictions, Vincent Onwubiko was notified on 13 November 2007 of a decision to make a deportation order against him.

Note the use of the word 'criminal conviction[b]s[/b]' .

~Sauron~:

As if this will stop his deportation.

~Sauron~:

He might have gotten the driving license before he became disabled.
U are not sure of what actually transpired so don't speculate.

~Sauron~:

It was his fault he allowed himself to be expoloited.
He musta been the one that dragged himself to where they were screening athletes.
Coaches don't go into people's house to beg em to come and do screening.

~Sauron~:

U don't have to KILL to be a criminal.
The laws are spelt out boldly. . . . . .U cannot drive without a driving license and if you do and you get caught. . . . .be prepared to do the time.
