While I am unconcerned about your heritage and the discussion around it here, your usage of the word 'loophole' reminded me of your post above:

It's interesting that you believe that a route to enter the UK and immediatley become citizens that your forebears took wasn't a loophole because it was fully legal at the time, but when others took another route that was also fully legal (as confirmed by the Upper Immigration Tribunal), you described it as a loophole that has been exposed, implying it was somehow shady.



There's also this one where you referred to a fully legal route; the characteristics of which were stated clearly by the UK and even used to advertise for foreign students to come study here, as a backdoor used 'by some nationalities.' Again the term 'backdoor' strongly implies deception.

Those routes may have or will be changed in the future, but they were fully legal at the time, just like your forebears came and became citizens but that route was closed later.

So my question is how come the route your forebears took was defintitely not a loophole because it was within the law at the time but when others used legal routes too, you believe they were using loopholes and backdoors?
😂 similar question was posed to Aunty suella in her days of all the shenanigans as Home Secretary and she responded that her parents were legal or lawful refugees and you just wonder how you you define or differentiate an illegal refugee from a legal one. That’s how confused all these gatekeepers are.

I have always found it interesting how descendants of people who were hounded and faced significantly worse discrimination than recent migrants in their days turn around and be fierce arbiters of who is worthy to be here or not. Some oddly think themselves to be of a higher stock which I find laughable. History is there to instruct.
It’s typical human behaviour- Scarcity mentality and when you think those you imagine to be a higher stock than are supposedly doing better or at par with you.

As a Christian one parable or story in the bible comes to mind about a master who employed servants to work for him, he went out in the morning and got some workers, later in the afternoon and evening he went out again and got more workers, meanwhile he agreed with them their wages and paid them but when the earlier workers discovered that everyone irrespective of their arrival got same wages, they went to grumble to the master about perceived injustice 😂. The master simply reminded them about their agreement. Na so life be o, bad belle dem, so it’s nothing new.

Last trip earlier this year, none of the officers from the various agencies asked us for money. There are cameras everywhere in the places where you interact with them and they were scrupulous about not requesting anything - even indirectly. All our interactions were refreshingly professional.

Several officers were suspended last year and enforcement is much stricter now, per the announcements.

My experience is that where people often have to pay is because they're trying to do things that are against the rules e.g. parking, luggage issues, having more people than allowed accompany them into the terminal etc.
This your narrative is very correct especially about the cameras being used. A friend who just recently returned said the same thing

Just saw something on TikTok now

Anytime the UCL final is played in Munich a new champion emerges. Among the 4 teams remaining Arsenal and PSG haven’t won the UCL before

And any team that beats PSV in the group stage or knock-out phase ends up in the finals but don’t win it. Arsenal walloped PSV in the group stage while PSG drew with the Dutch giants

Does it mean that PSG will be the new winners this time? 😉😉😉😉
PSG is the dark horse and may nick it, especially if Barca don't get to the final. Those guys are too rugged.

They also did some damage to the Away Rule that's a stigma in the NPFL, alongside Ikorodu City. Before you dare no win away. Na danger zone. They did it beautifully and fans couldn't help but stay silent at how the wins came about cos e dey sweet them too. Lol

Onto the continental. Let's see how ready they are.

They’re not ready
Osimhen shouldn’t bend
These people think it’s slavery times
That’s how they made Mané slave for 100k wages
The country tax would take out 40%
Imagine Harry Kane earns over £390k per week
They know African players are desperate to play in Europe, so these people think they’d slave for anything
Honestly I think they’re disrespecting an A lost player like Victor
He should get a world class agent
I hope everything works out fine for him
Nigeria hasn’t had a player this big in a long time
I believe Real Madrid will look for a striker in the summer, hopefully
That’s why I don’t rate these European clubs too much these days any longer, I’ll keep saying that victor should go to or remain where he will be valued and be happy even if it’s Saudi.

Apart from champions league what’s really there for victor again, Dude should go to wherever he can make real dough with less taxes. This insistence he should remain in mainstream Europe will surely lead to wage cuts at the end of the day except a miracle happens. All the big clubs seem ok with what they have for now

Other stand out players did not win champions league trophy,
Besides, Mikel said he was notified he was going to be the winner,and Yaya said he was not notified,if this were true, they must have had last minute change of heart.
It just shows that these awards are nothing but popularity contests many times given to please certain quarters

When you consider how the Moroccans walked out immediately Lookman was announced APOTY it shows the kind of pressure that’s is mounted to give these awards to undeserving winners. Nothing but fraudulent publicity

Mikel Obi admitting that he will probably be on the bench if Chelsea had successfully signed Yaya Youre instead of Man City.

Yaya Toure admitting to Mikel Obi that the 2013 APOTY award was deserved and meant to be won by Mikel Obi even though he (Yaya) won it.

Two Midfield legends giving honest props 🫡🤝🏻
It’s difficult to point out who was our stand out player in our Afcon 2013 win when you consider amazing contributions from other players like emenike, victor moses, enyeama and mba perhaps making it a bit difficult for mikel to win.

Liverpool, Juventus, Barça,, Newcastle, Villa, Atletico Madrid sad Maybe one of these teams would come get him
They frustrated the move if you remember, like Napoli also did to Osihmen

Let him just leave the club, if he has to fast for forty days and go to the mountain to pray, he should do so, those folks don't forgive. All the recent drama they have not forgotten, and if he remains there, he go hear am.

Please, he should leave Atalanta, not with the coach's humiliation. Remaining in Atalanta will only make or see him more embarrassed.

Even if it's Fulham, he should leave Atalanta, you guys don't know the mental torture these players go through in clubs with bad belle for them. Better to be happy wherever you are than to be humiliated because of a club with a big name. Osihmen has shown that.

Gaining power with gun is wrong with thisnpresent world standard, and no matter the goodness of such leader, it is not acceptable in this present world. Democracy is what this world has embraced presently, and if you must go against it, then, be prepared to defend it with your life. After all, those who brought democracy did so too. They fought kings who did not want the monarchy system to be eradicated with their blood. Yes, he may be a lesser devil beloved by his people, but he opposes current world political acceptance; thus, he must be prepared to fight.

Is it worth it in my opinion? Absolutely not. You can have your opinion, but this is mine. Using a gun to impose yourself on your people is morally and ethically unacceptable. Then, doing some goodness to make the pepper want you to keep them under your rule is manipulative. Go for a credible election and let the people choose you for a term. And you can recontest for a 2nd term. What is so hard in that? But you choose to remain in power with gun. Too wrong.

Let's compare him with Biya of Cameroon. That one keeps using the senate to extend how many times he can contest. Yea, it is wrong to me, but he followed the law and tweaked it so that no one can complain. Same too is what Putin did. And Trump is trying to do same. Yes, these are manipulative ways, but acceptable.

In summary, doing something unethical, even if it appears to be very good, will be frowned upon until the price is paid to make it ethically acceptable. If he does not want to give up his throne so easily, he should be prepared to pay the price. And it could be with his life.
Na you get sense pass here. Straight and direct no sentiments. Kundus to you 😂
