justwise: Obviously you are actually the ignorant one here. These people are not married, he wanted visa and she wanted money in exchange for it and at process of doing that they were caught. its sham, it's fake Marriage and the EU or British law do not recognise it. Article 6 of EU convention on human right does not deal with right for private and family life, Artcle 8 does.
true talk, why do people even wanna live here at moment its tough even for us who a born here
eleko1: He go easy for u my broda.God will order Ur step.Abeg dey pray/find persin wey go help u secure Ur permanent stay biko.We wey dey work here self nor find it funny.Imagine waking up @ 3 AM and come back home @ 10.30 PM due to traffic palava.U'll surely obtain ur paper
look all he had to do was to come with a genuine visa and he wont have to claim asylum, asylum case could take years while he is locked up at the detention centre
tociano009: na crazy dey worry his head, he dont know anything about people living in abroad at least 75% of African living in Europe must go asylum process, idiot of him is now mocking them....I am also in Germany seeking asylum, which I pray that God will help me through though is not easy but Only God can help
err.. no not really 75%? common man, how did you come to that conclution? did you count them? some like me are born here and some came with genuine visa, so get your facts right by the way whats your Ground/reason for claiming asylum in germany racist country especially to black people
krispycash: Hi tosyn... I'd like to clarify that this list is for silly kids who don't know the first thing about themselves let alone how to treat a lady.... They think its all about impressing the lady just to get in-between... Most boys don't even understand what it takes to make a woman really smile... Without having sexual thoughts... So it is with that I have deduced that most of these kids who keep screaming about sex don't know the first thing about anything.... All they do is follow what they see on TV... And the woman who gets carried away by the theatrical behavior of these kids in question are no different from the kids who only have balls for brains...
cap28: Do you guys think this young Nigerian man is into gay prostitution in Thailand or is he just making up a story in order to get out of Thai police net?
no he is definitely not gay he is just making up stories just to get out of jail, I am a black guy and I ve never been to Thailand, I hope when I go there (on holiday)eventually, they won't think we are all drug dealer and subject me to all this interrogations
Wow! A lot of jobless people and women looking for husbands na wao! Anyway my prayer request, is I want to buy that hopeless shit of a country called nigeria, so I can kick out the legislooters use half of it to build hospital to cure nigerians of their illnesses and sell the rest of the country to the chinese.
cap28: These Nigerian scammers are just ruining our name all over the world - take a look at this s.tupid Malaysian based scammer being interrogated by Thai police:
SAMBARRY: pele.it sucks to be a looser signs of loosers: exhibition of anger, bitterness and frustration when other successful women are happy because they wish they had half of what they have but they know they can't have and so resort to anger and mockery to make themselves feel good and remind them they are still men deal with it before you join the league of depressed and suicidal people. They have created a thread for your likes
this is an unfair and hatefull comment hypocrisy comes to mind
tonychristopher: I am a Nigeria Igbo origin and I know I have been around other countries, Just that I keep telling people that it is pretty hard there as it is here, I see bankers and professionals here that resign and sell off the stuffs to go overseas and end up been a security personnel and washing old folks out there.... But not all atleast we have few of em doing well though
washing old people LOL yes, even white people do that job too, but would not advice any body in a good profession to leave it or sell their properties to come here, perharps years ago, now its not easy any more its not worth it
tonychristopher: Now we are saying the truth,but the impression some youths have here is that the average white dude love the immigrant african for taking their jobs, choking them and comming in with nasty attitudes like drug peddling and terrorism, I know how the treat mullatos there not to talk of black, Eastern EU and slavs are worst, now Moscow is head of racism ....i tell you the facts
tonychristopher: Bro, not all Nigerians are failures, please dont misquote me, but 90% of them over there are stranded, the last time I was at Kent, it was disgracing I must say, but we still have some few of them doing some good stuffs like Doctors etc, but majority are just not it it up OUR YOUTHS SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT IT AINT EASY OVER THERE
I agree, just that in your previous post you made it sound like Nigeria's are living in hell, I am of Nigerian (igbo) origin i know, I been to other countries also its no different
tonychristopher: You might not know that, I just dont get it how people feel complacent over there, even Black Americans gets some bits of racism ....There is no way you will be as free as white English, let us tell ourselves the truth MAYBE MAKING MONKEY SOUNDS AND THROWING BANANAS AINT RACISM THOUGH
I wasnt suggesting there is no racism I expeprience it myself some times, though I was born here in the UK, am just saying its not as bad as you have been insinuating, and yes sometimes things are hard,but not just for only Nigerians, including people who are born here and all immigrants also
tonychristopher: Although Nigerians have now claimed London, as the 37th state of Nigeria, as a result of the population of Nigerians living in London, and also because of the ease with which Nigerians commute from Lagos/Abuja to London, as if they were commuting from Surulere to Ikoyi, it must be however said, that beneath the façade and the false-image of living the London good life which Nigerians living in London portray to their families and friends back home, the reality actually shows the opposite.
The problem starts with coming into London as a visitor or tourist, Nigerians are always in a hurry to ‘check out’ of Nigeria just like Andrew in the famed federal government patriotism TV advertisements, in doing so, they fail to take advantage of other legitimate routes of emigrating to the UK as professionals, Information on such UK migration schemes such as the highly skilled migrant programme and the working holiday maker visas are readily available on the internet but some of us don’t see it because of our mad rush and impatience. Also some have failed to explore other opportunities such as simply applying as health care or educational (teachers/lecturers) professionals, acute shortages of staff in the UK health and educational sectors have opened up this option and nationals from other countries are exploiting the opportunity, but Nigerians have not, preferring rather the short-term route of coming as visitors.
It used to be that in the past, it was a bit easier for Nigerians to ‘do what they had to do’ in London in order to obtain their residence permits, but now the EU expansion, and the influx of eastern Europeans into the UK has meant that residency laws have been toughened, on this front, things are no longer as they used to be. Inability to obtain official residency papers is what condemns Nigerians to the low life they live in London as illegal immigrants, without any state or social entitlements. In the long term, it is not a lifestyle that one would wish on even his enemies; as a result, people are stuck ‘in’, and can’t get ‘out’, as they wouldn’t be able to come back in if they venture out. This has ensured that some Nigerians have not been able to visit their country of birth in a long while, and this adds to their alienation and frustration.
And so once they find themselves in London, they are stuck with the lowly-paid jobs, such as flipping burgers at McDonalds or cleaning other people’s ‘shit’. Life becomes a bore and a drag as they jump from one bus to the other on their way to start the next shift; a sad and hectic life that they must live in order to afford London’s very exorbitant living expenses.
There are always people out to make a fast buck from you in London, the town is almost becoming a soul-less city like Lagos, for those stuck in the poverty cycle and living below the bread line (22% of the UK population live in poverty, 1 out of 5 of the population), this type of living surely can’t be good, from the £70 weekly room rents in shared flats and houses, to the over £5 day travel cards, there is also the utility bills (gas and electricity), which is operated on a pay- as- you -use basis, there is no NEPA or NITEL in London to bribe their officials, if your meter credit runs out, then it is between you and your God to save you from freezing in the cold winter.
It is at this stage that those who abandoned their lives and career back home, for a ‘rosy’ life in London begin to regret their decisions, they have no one to complain to, else they will be considered failures. As calls are made to family and friends back home, the moods are saddened the more by the news of career progressions and promotions of colleagues the person has left behind.
Some Nigerians living in the London always have this false assumption that those they have left behind in Nigeria won’t be climbing the social and economic ladders as well, that they will be waiting for them to come back to Nigeria in their flashy cars, fancy clothes and fake accents to ‘oppress’ them. Sadly this is not the case. By my own estimates, at least 2 out of every 3 Nigerians living in London will gladly swap places for a settled life and career in Nigeria, no wonder the careers in Africa recruitment event and many of such ‘return to Africa’ schemes are proving to be big hits.
It is always the case that most Nigerians immigrating to the UK always come when they are in their late twenties or early thirties, for both the men and women; this is the time that marriage dreams become imperative, but where does one find a potential husband or wife in London? If there was a place like that, then those ‘over-ripe’ brides and grooms before them would have since exhaled and replied with ‘I do’ to the pastor’s ‘Do you take xyz to be your lawfully wedded wife/husband…?’
In a recent conversation with a thirty something year old Nigerian lady, she vented out her frustration in these words ‘Nigerian men in London are dry, and stingy, after using you, they will dump you and go to their village to marry a village mgbeke’, on the other hand, Tochukwu Modebelu, a London based lawyer readily comes to the defence of Nigerian men living in London, according to him ‘Nigerian girls in London are still into their ways of regarding relationships as commercial ventures, also their wahala is too much, so I don’t blame guys who go to Nigeria to look for wives’.
As a result of the scarcity of men, and women or the difficulties in finding the perfect and willing partner, Nigerians have now resorted to having brides and grooms packaged and sent to them from home, but obviously such arrangements come with their own problems, usually revolving around differences in cultural values, unfulfilled expectations, and UK’s gender politics that is largely on the side of women, having brewed a disaster recipe for themselves, it is no surprise when divorce lawyers are called in at a rate faster than that which saw the couple coming together in the first place.
Some Pentecostal churches are happily exploiting this situation, Nigerians haven’t forgotten their ways at all in Nigeria, they seem to have carried the Pentecostal culture with them to London, as there now seems to be one on every other street, in areas of London with large immigrant population. Don’t be surprised to find these churches packed full on any given Sunday with expectant and hopeful worshippers, mostly young women whose main heart desire is for men to rain down from where ever.
However, there are Nigerians living in the London who have made good, and are already living the good life, some of them work as professionals while others have their own businesses, but such success stories do not even reflect the true situation of the real life of an average Nigerian in London, a sad reality, and a reality that bites.
tonychristopher: at least here no racism nobody calls u a monkey here atleast u can di stuff rather than running from metpol
I don't know were you get your information from perharps you have been hanging around the wrong people, you claim you have travelled all over the world, next time you come to England contact me I will show you that some nigerians are living very well and there Is no racism not aleast were I am, if any body calls you a monkey and you did nothing your own fault no one calls me monkey here and gets away with it, as for work every body including white english people goes to work wether cleaning or otherwise , so get your facts right and you are not the only one who have travelled
Although i am also married to a white woman I would not trust Russians (mafians)I hope they don't render Mikel useless , I suspect they have dangerous intentions, because Olga could have any Russian man she wanted, question is why Mikel?
