The father of d son is not British or EU citizen that is why they have deport both of them. If happened that the father is EU citizen then only the mother will be deported then his husband will come to Nigeria to file for her. Hope u understand.

Uk is not deporting the boy ,rather deporting the mum! that headline is not it . she won't want to leave her son behind, definitely when he comes of age he can go back as a citizen. so u guys should stop saying it like it was the boy that committed an offence here the mother did n she is paying for it!

Which one Nigeria?

When 10 Hausas can not reason same as 10 Yorubas and also 10 Igbos, then why one Nigeria?

So many people have forgotten that some people fought for independent and they did not see or enjoyed it. If those people are thinking the way we are thinking nowadays. Then probably we will be in slave trade by now.
