Nouble,

The last advice you got here after the 5 months------- was to apply for EEA2 as a partner of EEA national.Hon Londoncool seconded my opinion.He did said your case will be stronger with your new baby and that if you have served 12 months deportation would have been automatic.Here you are again requesting for advice that you will not put into use.
I wish you the best anyway.

@nouble

am just reading your posts and i am shocked that your case has gotten to this level. i mean with all the suggestions proferred in this thread huh? https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=104808.msg1892525#msg1892525

how come you travelled with fake passport huh? i thought you mentioned that your naija passport was yet to expire?? whatever happened to TCshuh? It would have been a million times to have yourself thumbprinted and you still end up in naija and then marrying your girl than getting caught with fake passport. God forbid you get deported, are you going to be deported to Poland?? Why are you making enquiries about Polandhuh

Me thinks you are just messing things up with your own hands.

you have been dating a polish girl for three years as you claim. you have a baby together yet to are facing all thesehuh? what happens if the polish girl is no longer interested in the relationship and she feels she can manage fine with the child without you in her lifehuh If you are not careful, at the rate you are handling this issue, you might end up not entering Poland. You had better wisen up !!!!
Thanks funkybaby for the flash back.

Nouble,

Your destiny is in your hand.
Wish you the best.

Why is it a problem to refund your money?Where you informed of the administrative during the time of the application or after your application was refused?20% is too much for nonrefundable administrative fees.

she was born in 1984
Her dad was an nigerian expatriate in the UK so the rest of the family moved with him.
she was born whilst they were all resident there
"Before 1983, birth in the UK was sufficient in itself to confer British nationality irrespective of the status of parents, with an exception only for children of diplomats and enemy aliens."
Based on the above the  parents actual immigration status plays an important in determining the child`s citizenship.

Hi there,

I need to get information for a friend whose sister was born in England but they moved back to Nigeria shortly after her birth.

@lucabrasi,

I understand your point and have always relied on your intelligence here on NL.The caption of my thread maybe the cause of this confusion but the content speak for itself.
Lets deal with these issues in isolations
-Ms Okere,she is an ordinary citizens humiliated by the uniform boys which,with all sincerity i condemn it in totality.
-Col Okere rtd,is never a saint as he profess in the above published interviews and that his past deed have brought this shame to himself(humiliation of the daughter)
-R.admiral Harry Arogundade and his boys should be reprimanded for their shameful behaviour.

And as a preacher of "good will" i was advising that people should be careful when exercise power in a position of authority for the sake of Karma.And from the Col Okere;s interview he has forgotten of the 2004 incident.

@ poster

Thanks for the info. I totally agree with you. how many innocent civilians military guys dey beat up everyday for oshodi and iyana ipaja, just because the girl is from a rich home everybody dey shout. i beg make we hear word, by the time this thing happen to more high profile people. They will do something about the problem. I pray we realise this before its too late.
That is my point,we should call spade a spade.In less that a week the President of Nigeria has issued a memo authorising CDS for an investigation.This is not a  case against the state,but against an individual which can only be properly addressed by the judiciary.What do we expect of the outcome of the investigation ?
This is purely a personality issue,the presidency has not been able to guarantee security for her citizens,but was very quick to issue a memo to the CDS.How many memo has he issued to the IG on the ravage of armed robbers in Nigeria ?


@lucabrasi,

Usually i do appreciate your posts here on NL,but i am on this occasion disappointed that you are only being economical here.I only brought this post just to clear a Grey area on the precedent  of Col okere as a collaborator of inhuman treatment of average Nigerians.He did paint himself as a saint,which he never was.
In all fairness and equity,i totally condemn the act of brutality and its a lesson to all Nigerians that Karma do exist.
PoliticsRe: Okere Sagay-the Evil Of The Parent Visited On The Children by brownbonno(op): 5:34pm On Nov 11, 2008
All,

My reasoning behind this post is to bring to light that Col Okere has never being a saint as he profess to be.
I am not in any way or form in support of the brutality melted on the innocent young girl.And i encourage a civil suit against the culprits.
On the hand,nation building is not just for one person,it is a collective responsibility and Col Okere is not free from this dehumaning behaviour which is a bane of our nation Nigeria.
Nigeria cannot fight corruption if we want to the tribalitic and sentimental in all cases,abuse of official power is corruption and Col Okere is a corrupt man.

Let me ask have you watched the video? If no please do, father

do what he he did, let's perish this point.

I have watched the video several times and i feel sorry for the young girl.

All,

I brought out this post as a reaction to Col Okere(rtd) interview reported on today's daily.

“If a senior officer of the level of an admiral, whose boys did the battering and he was watching, that person should not wear the rank he is wearing. Because it takes a lot; a rear admiral is equivalent to a major general; if you cannot control six ratings at his level, then I don‘t think he is fit to be an admiral.''[color=#000099][/color]



Assault: Admiral not fit to hold rank –Victim’s father
By Oluwole Josiah, Abuja
Published: Tuesday, 11 Nov 2008
The father of the victim of the naval ratings‘ brutality in Lagos, Col. Emeka Okere (rtd), has said that the conduct of Rear Admiral Harry Arogundade was unbecoming of a military officer of his rank.

Skip to next paragraph

Photo file
The victim of the recent naval ratings’ assault, Miss Uzoma Okere

He criticised the naval officer for watching his men beat and strip his daughter, Uzoma.

Okere, the Sergeant-At-Arms of the National Assembly, in an exclusive interview with our correspondent on Monday in Abuja said that all he wanted was justice, irrespective of who was involved.

He also said that claims that he tendered apologies to the admiral when he spoke to him on the phone was unfounded.

He said, “The issue of apology cannot come up because it is something I did not witness. I was in Abuja here and she was in Lagos; I just saw my daughter‘s name as my phone rang.

“She was not the one that initiated the call; and I tried to speak to her, it was impossible. I was only hearing her crying from a distance, ‘leave me alone, leave me alone, I have done nothing.‘

“Apparently, it appeared to me that she was besieged by some people. Her friend who held the phone told me that she was being beaten by some naval people, that was when I pictured what was happening.”

He said Arogundade had painted a very wrong picture to him about what was happening.

Okere said, “He tried to tell me that he knew me, that I was his senior; but I told him it was not the issue, but that somebody was distressed.

“How can I apologise for somebody being beaten, even beaten to death; where on earth would such a thing be done?

“If a senior officer of the level of an admiral, whose boys did the battering and he was watching, that person should not wear the rank he is wearing. Because it takes a lot; a rear admiral is equivalent to a major general; if you cannot control six ratings at his level, then I don‘t think he is fit to be an admiral.

“Yes, because he watched the whole drama unfold and he was in a position to control the incident; he would have told the boys to stop the act, knowing that they were under the public glare.

“People were watching; I am sure if that person did not use his secret camera to take the pictures, everything would have been denied. I did not know that the battering was to that extent.”

Okere added that the fact that the admiral knew him and they were colleagues should have caused him to end the matter quickly.

“So there was nothing he did to show any relationship. I read in the papers where he said I taught him in the military school and that we were colleagues and so on, but the espirit des corps was completely missing,” he said.

He also disputed the notion that it was a military culture to deliver corporal punishment to civilians at any time there was a disagreement with them.

He added that no right- thinking officer would maltreat a civilian he was being paid to protect.

He said, “I wore the uniform for so many years; and I don‘t think I went out of my way to humiliate anybody. The mere fact that you are in uniform should make you humble because you are one out of so many.”

However, it will be so stupid of the poster if he is trying to justify the treatment Ms Okere got from Mr Harry because of what his father allegedly did in 2004.
Don;t be angry because because i went to the archive to get more information about Col Okere who said he had never been barbaric.
I never condole the act of the Naval rantings,but,yes it have never been better on both sides.Though i hate inhuman treatments but issues should be handled appropriately.Its a civil issue and such be handle as such.

KWENU! Our culture, our future

The Wabara National Assembly and his security forces



Emeka Oraetoka
Garki – Abuja, Nigeria



oramekllis@lycos.com



Saturday, January 8, 2005



"It is absolutely irrational that the National Assembly, a law-making establishment, could be where innocent Nigerians would be intimidated by security agents on the pretext of  "order from the above."

--         Agonizing lamentation of a Nigerian  brutalized and stopped from gaining entrance at the gate of the 'White House' to listen to proceedings on 16 Dec, 2004.



On this day, 16th December 2004, the Chief Security Officer [CSO] of the National Assembly, Col. Emeka Okere [rtd] according to reports, supervised the beating, slapping and intimidating of innocent Nigerians that have come to the National Assembly, probably to listen to parliamentary proceedings. According to reports, disappointed Nigerians at the gate of the white house started asking questions about the desirability or fitness of this man -- Col. Emeka -- on this job, when under his nose one of his wards, supposedly a female police officer in mufti, slapped a fellow on the pretext that he was obstructing the entourage of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Masari.



According to reports, more than three hundred people got stranded at the gate of the 'White House,' on the order of this chief security officer to the National Assembly. The excuse offered by the police at the gate was that they received order to allow only the staff at the 'White House.' Curiously, under the supervision of this man, many people, not staff of the National Assembly, had access to the 'White House.' Reports had it that those allowed in, apart from the staff, probably played ball with the security forces at the gate. When they, the officers, were reminded that National Assembly is a public place, and as such people who came to listen to proceedings from the gallery should be allowed -- since it is their legitimate and constitutional rights, they insisted that they were merely obeying "order from the above."



The political implications of the actions of this Chief Security Officer could be grievous to the Senate President, if this seemly small issue is not sorted out fast. According to sound minds, should political crisis crop up in the Senate, insinuations like these could arise: The Senate President has lost the moral authority to lead this distinguished Senate because he allows security officers to extort and intimidate those that come to the National Assembly to listen to proceedings. How can a law-making institution encourage the intimidation of people by the police and other security officers, at the gate of the 'White House,' National Assembly? they could ask.



The Senate President could embark on investigation to determine what happened to people at the gate of the 'White House' on this fateful day 16th Dec. 2004, even till the very day the Senate went on Christmas break, with a view to putting things right. The Senate President could also ensure the training of police and other officers at the National Assembly, so as to bring them to appreciate the meaning of parliamentary democracy, and how to relate with members of the society. For the Chief Security Officer of National Assembly, there is probably the need for a refresher course to understand the meaning of parliamentary democracy. Alternatively, the National Assembly could embark on on-line transmission of proceedings; if they feel that they could be sufficiently distracted by people listening to proceedings from the gallery.

Dear Nairanders, I need your candid advice here.
I am planning to buy a car of 1.2 million through bank loan meanwhile my annual salary is about 1.4 million net and i have a wife and two children. Is this move advisable. Please let me know what you think.
You didn`t state your wife`s income.If there is no stable income from your wife,i would say to such a purchase.
On a serious note,1.4m net is N116.666 per month.
House rent ??
Feeding ??
Children maintenance/school fees??
Utility bills ??
Car servicing/maintenance/petrol ??
The list goes on.
Please sew ur coat to your size,i would advise to buy a car between 500-650k.A car must not be a luxury but a necessity.

I have worked with women fleeing domestic violence here in London. Your guy has all the characteristics of violent men.

I am not sure, whether he has not already started slapping your face and pulling you aggressively.

You can still find a man that, can trust you.

If you marry him, he will NOT change but get worse. If you believe he will change, you have smth else coming.
Very poor and unprofessional judgement.
Every behaviour is learned,you should have find out when and how the behaviour stated.Don`t you think the "distrance relationship" is causing some anxiety and insecurity in this relationship?

You need to discuss your concerns with your guy and should be in a conditioned environment.

My Husband was meant to be working last night, he get home this morning everything is fine.  I look in his phone and he has been texting a girl (don't know name) saying whats your address sexy i will be there at 1am.  So, i confront him! giving him the benefit of doubt, stupid me! He says he met 2 girls with his mate and was tempted to meet them later after he had been to the pub, but he never did anything and never went to the address!
Well why ask for the address if he didn't intend on going! Does he think i was born yesterday?! angry
It wasn't long ago i found other messages on his phone to another girl, which i forgave him for as i am 6 months pregnant and was thinking of the baby! Why do some men do this? I have never cheated always been honest! I feel like he has abused my trust and love i have for him.  cry
Most women are more honest than their husband,but don`t let this incident ruin your marriage and your home.Concentrate on the God gift that is on the way.
Try and discuss with your man and let him know how you feel being let down.I am not sure he is a smart cheater by living traces of evidence on his phone(peer group influence might be the cause)He may change for good.Drive his bad friends away.
On the other hand check your side if there is anything missing in the marriage.
