Orikinla: [size=13pt]Moderators, PLEASE, MOVE THIS COMIC THREAD TO THE JOKES SECTION.

Empty barrels make the loudest noise.
Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland my shit.

If you really have the IQ to know the Igbos who have contributed to what Nairaland has become today since 2005 to date, check the most popular Igbo posters based on the popularity of their posts, page views, replies, etc. And not by noise makers seeking relevance in the absence of their masters.

What a nonsense of silly tribalism.

What is next?
Oba Awon Yoruba Nairaland?[/size]

All u guyz can ever make as an arguement is how he cant play without his barcelona team mates,make cr7 go and win witout his club team mates na

Omo Alata: I dunno. I think he's planning to do a marriage of convenience. He didn't say so in so many words

penfold: @coogar,
Just wondering....
Since you said he should get a new Identity, dyu mean he should get a new nigerian passport? If thats what you mean,how will he explain to the High Commission how he got to the UK in the first instance, cuz I happen to know that the Nigerian High Commission in UK will not even renew an expired Passport with no exit(Nig) and entry(UK) stamp on it plus valid visa,not to talk of issuing a fresh one.They'll tell the person to go to Abuja to renew the passport if there are no stamps and valid visa on it,and they only issue fresh passports/renewals for UK-born Nigerians or Nigerians with legal status. So how exactly is he going to get a new Identity/passport.

justwise: That was what Omo Alata said regarding kid.

Omo Alata: [size=14pt]I just asked him. He said they have no kids. I ran the asylum issue past him. He said he is looking into 'other things' which he will discuss with me when he next sees me in church[/size]

justwise: Lets assumed that this couple are married without kid, both of them are illegal immigrants, the only chance they stand is to apply after 14yrs of living in the UK, applying just after 8yrs will be waste of application money and still be refused, going to immigration tribunal is only if he is given right to appeal the decision.

justwise: coogar he does not qualify for any considering his situation and based on 8yrs long stay.

justwise: Not true, 10yrs or 14yrs before you start nursing the idea of applying for Leave to remain.

justwise: All we know is that he has being here for 8yrs, we don't know how long the wife has being here or whether they have child together.

Katsumoto: No matter how you dice it, the fault always goes back to Ndigbo.

justwise: Even if he related to prime minister he can not get whatever he desires considering his situation, he is an illegal immigrant, his wife is an illegal immigrant, going through family route will be long costly legal battle.

justwise: Asylum claim was the bases of our argument now you are saying he doesn't need to claim asylum.

dorox: @coogar: justwise is right, asylum claim is not as easy as you make it seem

justwise: I take that as a joke.

My point still remain that this guy doesn't stand a chance if he is to go asylum route, he doesn't have a strong claim, he will only waste his money with immigration lawyers and years of frustration in the hands of HomeOffice.

Andre Uweh: If any actor during the Nigerian/Biafran civil war should publish his/her memoir will not miss out the role Awo playeed during the war. In Achebe's memoir, he has captured it as it happened. He did not only write about Awo's satanic side but offered us his references.
Prof Achebe has no ill feelings towards the yorubas, in his memoirs, he paid glowing tributes to Soyinka, Hubert Ogunde etc.
It is no sin for anyone to say things as it happened irrespective of who is involved.
Prof Achebe, it shall be well with you.

ikeyman00: ^^^^ keep asking?

ikeyman00: ^^^ what place

when u hate the truth so much that ur pc has crashed

sorry about that

matrixme: If Mr Achebe thinks he can sit in the comfort of his cozy home in continental United States to set aflame the controversial, combustible stuffs of yesteryears, then he hasn't got it. He isn't aware of many bright young westerners, growing up and sharing positive friendships with the Igbo people, while unconscious of the sad tales of the Civil war and hasn't read his literature. He should plant trees instead.

jmaine: Vintage Cooger . . .Always having a response , no matter what . . . . In that dazed state and the brutally, rugged and swift Egyptian ready to follow up with a finishing strike , it was bad news for Gannicus. But thanks to Oenomaus, my very skillful, elegant and slick Gannicus was saved . . .

justwise: As a Nigerian you still don't stand a chance of claiming asylum, changing your name to any other name will not prove jack, you will only be making things difficult for yourself because if your fingerprint is now taken with this fake name then all your original personal details has to be changed.

Afghanistains, Pakistanis even Iranians are being deported after failing to secure asylum status in the UK let a lone a Nigerian.
