Idi-Amin:
Indians and Pakistanis are the kingpin of sham marriages in the UK, but unlike naija people, they plan theirs well for years and are hardly ever caught

It never ceases to amaze me how some Nigerians take advantage of the ignorance of (or lack of MB to google) of other Nigerians to just make moronic (and usually ethnic biased) statements.

Indians and Pakistanis get caught more!

retna sham wedding operation sees eight men arrested
24 July 2013 Last updated at 09:44

The wedding ceremonies were due to take place at Gretna registration office
Eight men from Pakistan and India have been arrested by immigration officers in Gretna as part of an operation targeting sham weddings.

They were apprehended moments before six ceremonies to be held on Thursday.

The Home Office said the men, aged between 27 and 40, were all in the UK illegally.

They had all travelled to Gretna from areas in England including Bradford, Manchester, Southall, Blackburn and Wolverhampton.

They included five would-be grooms and three guests who were due to attend the ceremonies at Gretna registration office.

Six of the men have been detained pending their removal from the UK, while the remaining two must report regularly to the Home Office while their pending immigration cases are concluded.

The intended brides from the Czech Republic, Romania and the UK were interviewed and released.

Anna Beattie, from the Home Office immigration enforcement team, said that anyone in the UK illegally should "take heed" of the latest operation.

"Expect to be caught by us and removed from the UK," she said.

"The Home Office is working with colleagues at registration offices throughout Scotland and receives intelligence from a wide variety of sources.

"We will not hesitate to act against those who mistakenly believe that they can abuse the immigration system."

A sham marriage or civil partnership typically occurs when a non-European national marries someone from the European Economic Area as a means of attempting to gain long-term residency and the right to work and claim benefits in the UK.

tpia@:
as long as somebody's wearing a wedding dress, no need to be picky about who the bride is. . . . . . .

likewise, as long as someone from the male species is there in a suit and answering the name of groom, why look a gift horse in the mouth. . . . . .

Some gift horses are actually Trojan horses. The suprises and shockers are well hidden.

babyosisi: I wonder
There are many overgrown Naija babes in Britain looking for a man to ask them what they are selling

My sister, to ask what they are selling is one thing. When they call the price plus conditions attached, its another thing. Who wan buy bad market?!!

Me_Aboki: Correction: they are not Nigerians but BIAFRANS !

Is this one Biafran too?

A Nigerian groom has been jailed for 12 months for a sham marriage where he picked Celine Dion’s song 'The first time ever I saw your face' to march down the aisle.

Hull University masters student Jayeola Abiola, 29, needed to marry to stay in the UK, and paid Portuguese Vania Pinheiro-Fernandes, 29, to be his bride.

They met for the first time at their dress rehearsal and he stumbled to pronounce her name.

Tony Spike: I'd rather have a good night from you...I believe you're at a location beyond the GMT.

My apologies, and a very good night!

Tony Spike: My initial response was to Ikengawo's thesis on Yorubas being fearful. As a matter of fact, temperament and character are two different traits. You can do some reading on these two traits. I'm done with this argument...

Good day sir!

At least, unlike seedord247, you didn't let your "temperament" get the better of you.

seedord247: Your brain must have been locked by terrestrial witch. Do you see any Yoruba name mention in the article or are iGbo's the only tribe in Nigeria. Why is hard for them to abide the law? In South Africa They are killing them because of drugs and marrying their women for papers. In kenya, they deporting igbo's cuz they dont have a distinctive personalities. The same thing in sudan, Ivory coast, and so many countries in Nigeria.

Dont lemme talk about the way they are using igbo men head for rituals in india, malaysia, japaan and China.

Do you honestly believe that you are making sense here?

Tony Spike: Oh well, we don't need to argue so much on this. I only spoke about temperament, which is just one of the two traits of a typical human in a society. I have not spoken about character, which I believe is related to what you're referring to in your response(s). My list of Yoruba temperaments are quite valid, but the character may vary from person to person . Enough said...

I laugh when I see people make ethnically motivated sweeping generalisations on nairaland, just like you did. The condescending manner in which these statements are made is mind blowing. Just for the sake of scoring cheap ethno-political points, you throw away education and sound reasoning?

Tony Spike: Read my comment again and take a look at the mirror. You've just exhibited a temperament of the other side! I can see you've quoted me twice in less than 5 minutes...impressive, hey?

I'll quote you 10 times if that is what it takes to make my point. You wrote a complete lie and I corrected you. In order to deflect from the point, you say I'm temperamental? Amazing!

Tony Spike: I'm trying to make a sense of what you wrote up here. I'm a Yoruba and I don't generally agree that we are fearful. The difference between a Yoruba and an Igbo is basically between temperamental attitude and cultural programming. I won't bother explaining the concepts, but in the long run, a Yoruba is your typical calculative risk-taker, deep thinker, law-abiding, not necessarily over-ambitious, practical, quiet achiever and considerate. Temperamentally, the Yorubas are like the British, while the Igbos are like the Germans. Those two countries are always at loggerhead...hey, I'm not racist!

Based on my premises above, you can guess why Igbos are likely to be affected by any immigration laws wherever they are.

In fact, I'll go as far as to say that the bad reputation of Nigerians in UK is due to the activities of desperate and reckless yorubas.

Rubbish! Prisons in UK are filled the brim with Yoruba. In fact, I can't recount how many times I've read articles in papers about Nigerians with yoruba names being caught for one crime or another.

Aigbofa: There are probably Yoruba everywhere you find Igbo, you are just more likely to find the Igbo in the detention.

That is not the case in SA, Kenya, Ghana, UK, USA, Spain, Italy...

DeLaRue: “We counted 27 Nigerians in detention
that Saturday and most of them are
from Imo and Edo, Delta and Rivers
States nobody from South West and
Northern states”, he added.



ASSUMING THIS REPORT IS CREDIBLE, then ...not much surprise there.

Why is it whenever the locals are fed up with Nigerians and ask them to leave, they always go on about being disturbed from running their 'business.'

Everything boils down to 'business' 'business' 'business.' Claiming a right to being left alone to do business in another man's land without reciprocating by abiding by their laws, and most importantly hating on your hosts is never going to get you anywhere.

First China;
Then South Africa;
And Kenya;
Then Lagos;
Now, Botswana.

Seriously, you guys have to check yourself, and see what you are doing wrong. You will find Japanese doing business in most countries, but you never hear them making trouble or claiming a God-given right to 'do business' on their own terms.

I don't get you? Are Edo's, Rivers people and Deltans being sent home from Lagos too?

Kaymisola: Rather than move in with her boo or vice versa, Tania would rather wait till they get married! No it's not a diss at the other celebrities who move in with their boos without being married, it's just her rule!
She disclosed this on twitter hours ago, see tweets below:
She had announced the arrival of her boo saying "my baby is home" and a fan asked "do you guys live together?". Responding to the question, Tania tweeted "live together ke? When he has not married me. Not at all" - there you go! So until Wizkid puts a ring on it and walks her down the aisle, they are not gonna live together!
Meanwhile, she got her very first celebrity customer yesterday - Emma Nyra - and she styled her well!
You will recall that she recently took over a popular luxury clothing and accessories store, Designers’ Club. http://www.kemifilani.com/2013/08/im-not-moving-in-with-wizkid-till-he.html

Good girl!

Now, just don't get banged up for him!!

eGuerrilla: SOurce

Good man!

Now, lead a campaign to remedy it!!

2Legit2Qui: so?

Na u tek ur 2 bend-bend leg waka come here, come turn round dey ask "so"? U well so??

playmode: The comments on this thread confirmed what i have always suspected that the average Nigerian is the d0mbest human being alive.The government is building a deep seaport in Akwa Ibom and people are saying things like "this will be the fall of lagos".Jeez are you Nigerian this primitive in your thinking? Any intelligent person will be be praying for every region of Nigeria to develop so that our people can enjoy after so much suffering but here we tribalizing a simple as as infrastructural development.I urge you Nigerians regardless of your tribe to reason intelligently and stop acting like d0mb n_ggers.

I am not a fan of GEJ because he is corrupt and has not done much since becoming President ,that however will not stop me from appreciating any development in any part of the country. The more infrastructure Nigeria gets the better for all of us.

I bow 4 d pipo o?!

Govt build Ibaka seaport; Lagos will raise their game- "goods cleared in 3 days + half price charges etc". Add to this improved road & rail network, your goods will be in your warehouse in Abia/Onitsha/Owerri days before the man importing through Ibaka who will have to jump over hurdles carefully placed by "friendly" Ibibios and Annangs.

obitwo: As if there is no Port in PH and despite the concentration of oil companies, it is not growing as fast as Lagos under any circumstance

The pH port is not deep enough.

Hezron Lorraine: Purpose of thread.

To stir ethnic bigotry!

How can those crappy pictures serve as a true representation of a city?

ednut1: No be today, d boys scout pple usually vanish during d event, 9ja wisest from d back

Abi o! Some of those boys mens brigade from Nigeria fit be grandfathers self.

Don't know what the big deal is? There are girls who are medically virgins, but will go down on you, let you go down on them and take it up the backside!

Siga: .... You go into an office to bid for contract but u dressed casually and can actually deliver the best job... no one will consider u cos there is another guy wearing white agbada, with a driver in a borrowed Benz...

If you couldn't even make the effort to present yourself properly, how can you be expected to be taken seriously? Guess what? The guy in the white agbada + borrowed Benz can also deliver the job! But being a naija go-getter, he has presented himself properly, fasted, consulted babalawo, prepared gifts, has had a word put in by his friend and arrived with one hot babe as PA!!

You wan try??

Crude, ghoulish, poor taste.

...you said and "Local" musical tributes.
