Mekana:

Are u on this planet? the premise of this discourse is on British anachronistic and duplicitous legal system and not on who lost the war.  your British-naija compatriot spinned the logic toward American vs Britih comparison. Factually, Britain won which war? The pacific or Western European battles? Britain was at the brink of collapse prior to American intervention  cross check your facts. America and Russia were the the victors, Britain just happens to be lucky for quick American intervention. Although they were part of the allied forces that won the war, the fact that they never recovered from that war economically placed them as loosers. Remember, after the war, all their ill gotten empires started to crumble, in about 15 yrs, most nations under their capitivity gained independence. The crux of my World War analogy was to illustrate the fact that inspite of British existence for a 1000 yrs, Germany that just emerged in 1870, tore their army to shreds. The British are very proud and pompous, thats why they would always spin the history around to depict themselves as  victors in stead of vanquished.

I didn't bother to read the rest of your dribble but Again. . . .Britain won the war. America only jumped in when their arses got kicked by the Japanese at Pearl Harbour and the British had virtually done all the hard work.


Mekana:

Again Angie, u are showing why u are a layman/woman. Am not gonna join issues with u in using opprobious jargons, but the bottomline is that u need to hold your so-called country accountable as we do here in the US. If there are inconsistencies, flaws, and duplicity in British system, we need to point it out. Thats how Americans challenged racism and anti- feminism in the 1960s-70s. Today, we have Obama, which says it all. U might be shortsighted by not seeing the connection between anachronism, social stratification and, perhaps, retrogressing economy in this theme, all of which i higlighted.

Again what part of this topic is about America? talk about being an obnoxious prick! This is OUR country and your beloved America does not dictate our rules and laws. In fact American Law is based on English (OUR) Law so you have a cheek trying to tell us how to run things in our country. Get the F out of here with that BS!!! Anyway I will try not to hold it against you because you are probably just a Nigerian trying to be an American and getting it all wrong. grin grin

At the moment residency is one of the main qualifications and athletes can compete for a country as long as they are in the process of applying for citizenship even though they may not get it eventually.

The article wascwritten 1999. Onwubiko competed in 1995 and 1997 and so if the rules have changed now it they would not have affected him back then.

I hope this is clear. grin

If the proposal gets the backing of the meeting, athletes will have to have a passport of their new nation before they can wear the country's athletics vest

But in the USA it is the same as well. As in if you commit a felony (criminal offence for UK peeps) of any kind that is punishable by atleast 1 year in prison and you just have permanent residence you will be liable for deportation.

And this just proved that the English animals are racist, exploiters, greedy ass set of people, he competed for more than 2 tournaments, not one and not one year, he represented them for closed to 5 years if not more than, they kept using you to glorify themselves but didn't give him the passport he was suppose to be given. this just sums up the notion that the British are known to be the use and dump set of cheats.  before representing them between 1995-1997, he must have also competed in the nationals earlier than that, so that means for more than 5 years, they denied him citizenship but never stopped him from being exploited.


just like a case of someone trying to get something from you, you keep using him to wash your clothes, yet you never gave him what he came for, you didn't tell him to back off all the times he was helping you do the chores. exploiters, it's really in their blood and won't go away. so for the pro-British empire, you can keep licking their ass.

U are a laboratory retard. grin grin
If he had committed a crime before his love for sporting events, there is no way he would be given a British passport.
Converting ILR to a British passport requires one thing: NO CRIMINAL RECORD.

The US formally joined the war in December 1941 and had been covertly involved before then. The tide of the war turned in the latter half of 1942 when Japan and Germany both suffered major losses in Midway Atoll and Russia. The Allied counteroffensive started in 1943.

Re: Nigerian For Deportation After Winning Gold For Britain by Theblessed(f): 11:34pm On Dec 15, 2009
[b]Well, that's not how I see it! Because, Nigerians do not respect their own laws or have any enforceable laws does not mean other countries do not.  We were told, when you're in Rome, behave like the Romans.  Breaking the laws of a country that gave you refuge (not once but more than twice) is not a smart thing to do. 

When you visit a country, it's smart to abide by their rules and regulations but some Nigerians think because, they've got the legal papers to stay therefore, they have same rights as citizens born and bred. Well, not quite! As your Naturalisation could be terminated any time you are dangerously at the other side of the law and that's what we are all here now, reading about. You see, using the accolades he won for Britain to justify his behaviours is not right.  Because, we've done this and that for our country therefore, if we kill somebody or some how break the law, we should be let off, is it

Being a successful Sportsman benefited him more than Britain. Firstly, it gave him exposure and also made him a STAR he wouldn't have attained considering his disability if he'd remained in this our sorry country Nigeria (pity how some people forget their background so quickly!). Unfortunately, this guy didn't show smartness at all!

You see, there are very good Nigerian who have lived in the West for more than 30, 40, 50 or even 60 years without anyone knowing they are here let alone British Police or a criminal record behind them.  Yet, you hear such stories mainly, among most that smuggled themselves into this country through the back door in the early 1990's. Well, the message is, BEHAVE OR YOU'D BE SENT BACK TO YOUR HOME COUNTRY IRRESPECTIVE OF THE LENGTH OF TIME SPENT HERE OR WHO YOU MARRY/HOW MANY CHILDREN YOU HAD HERE. If you're smart listen otherwise, continue to play your game and you'd find out the hard way.

I think all this argument is pointless. The guy broke the law and by all indications he got a criminal conviction which gave him a deportation notice, it is painful but he is to be blamed. You don't go about breaking rules as a foreigner even if u have 12 gold medals especially in this period where there are lot of crisis (na zobo eye dem get 4 UK nau). I also blame his wife for not pushing him to regularize his papers i.e if he was eligible before he started his traffic offence episode.  

Anyway I pray the Human rite activists can help him stay cos I dont know how he will survive if he comes back to Nigeria. Me self wey use just 2 yrs for there dey find it difficult to adapt back into the Nigerian system.

Dont come telling us wat u think or your wat u ve heard from unconfirmed sources. Cos u re given a british pali dont mean u ll be british for ye if u dont keep to your side of the bargain. comprehende?[/Quote]

You are being silly, and I doubt you have a british passport, I challenge you to post any article indicating someone who holds a british passport who has been deported and had his passport revoked due to criminal activity (the only criminal activity I can't verify is Treason for which I've not see anyone been convicted of anyway). It seems you mistake an ILR or FLR for a british passport. Even british passport holders who are jailed abroad are even often advocated to be allowed to serve their jail terms in british prisons and that includes "Nigerian born" britons too as happened with a high profile case  of Samantha Orobator recently.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jun/03/pregnant-orobator-begins-trial-laos

My younger brother never claimed an ILR because he was born in the UK, my dad was based in the UK and obtained the passport for him first from the UK (the black coloured one), and it was at this point his Nigerian passport was shredded. I'm sure my mum still has the shredded passport somewhere as a memorabilia.  He was then registering annually with the british high commision in Nigeria until he was about travelling out in his late teens and then reapplied to renew his passport as an adult when he got the red/marooned coloured passport.

I am not writing this to encourage any british passport holder to engage in criminal activity but a british passport cannot be revoked on grounds of criminal activity the likes of which is being discussed here, for Treason and Terrorism reasons I can't ascertain because I have no examples to quote, please get your facts right.


Here is what I obtained from the UK Border agency website about conditions for removal of citizenship note the part in bold:

[Quote]
Removal of citizenship obtained fraudulently (Deprivation)

We may take away your British citizenship if we find that you obtained your registration or naturalisation by fraud, giving false information, or concealing facts that would have affected our decision. This is known as deprivation of citizenship.

Reasons for depriving you of citizenship might include if you:

* concealed information that might show you are not of good character, such as convictions overseas;
* obtained indefinite leave to remain in the United Kingdom by claiming to hold a different nationality;
* obtained citizenship as the spouse of a British citizen, but you were not validly married to that person; or
* used false documents to obtain citizenship, or cheated in the Life in the United Kingdom test.

We may also take away your British citizenship if, in our opinion, it would be in the public interest for us to do so and you would not be made stateless as a result of us removing British citizenship.

If you are deprived of citizenship, you stop being a British citizen on the date that a deprivation order is issued. After that you are no longer able to hold a British passport.

Any rights you may have to live in the United Kingdom may also be lost. In serious cases, you may be removed from the United Kingdom.
[/quote]

If a successful attainment of British citizenship makes you lose your previous citizenship then removing your british citizenship renders you stateless and no country does that to an individual (apart from possibly the knuckleheads at Abuja) and this is why I said in my previous post that I don't know how this applies to people who hold dual citizenship.
