Foreign AffairsRe: How do you think the current Libyan crisis will end? by snowdrops(m): 4:27pm On Mar 29, 2011
Gaddafi would eventually be ousted. The so called rebels are a disorganised bunch and know little of leadership. The offshoot from the old regime would put up strong resistance and mount guerrilla attacks seriously disrupting the new administration and put the country to the brink of civil war.

Libya is made of several tribes who hold various allegiances. Ethnic cleansing may occur in some regions. There might be a serious humanitarian crisis with refugee fleeing conflict zones.

Meanwhile the west would scramble to secure oil deals from the new government and pay lip service to the disaster they had created. They would be very reluctant to send in ground troops viz. Iraq and Afghanistan.

Eventually various peace treaties would be held and they may settle for a coalition government with elements from the Gaddafi regime and the rebels.

i would assume that your first point of call would have been banks, money lenders, family or friends. Don't expect to get all the amount from one source. You can also start small, with any amount you have, because waiting from the full N500K could become frustrating.

CrimeBoy Slaughtered In Uk Ritual Killing Is From Bini. by snowdrops(op): 4:06pm On Mar 29, 2011
This is the little boy whose headless and limbless body was found floating in the Thames ten years ago, it was claimed last night.

The five-year-old’s identity has remained a mystery after he was smuggled into Britain and murdered in a voodoo-style ritual killing.

He was drugged with a ‘black-magic’ potion and sacrificed before being thrown into the Thames, where his torso washed up next to the Globe Theatre in September 2001.

Detectives used pioneering scientific techniques to trace radioactive isotopes in his bones to his native Nigeria.
They even enlisted Nelson Mandela to appeal for information about the murder.

But they always struggled to formally identify the boy, who they called Adam, despite travelling to the West African state to try to trace his family.

Now Nigerian Joyce Osiagede, the only person to be arrested in Britain as part of the inquiry, has claimed that the boy in this picture is Adam. She said his real name is Ikpomwosa.

In an interview with ITV’s London Tonight, Mrs Osiagede said she looked after the boy in Germany for a year before travelling to Britain without him in 2001.

She claimed she handed the boy over to man known as Bawa who later told her that he was dead and threatened to kill her unless she kept silent


Asked directly during an interview at her home in Nigeria if the boy in the photograph is Adam, Mrs Osiagede replied: ‘Yes.’

Saying she is now willing to talk to police, she added: ‘Ikpomwosa. Baby Adam, his native name was Ikpomwosa.’

The identification is a potentially huge breakthrough for Scotland Yard detectives.

Retired Detective Chief Inspector Will O’Reilly, who led the investigation, said: ‘Without a name murders are very hard to solve. So this is a crucial starting point for us and it should lead us to who killed him.’


Police have passed numerous files on the case to the Crown Prosecution Service but it has never gone to court.

A second suspect, a Nigerian man, was arrested in Dublin in 2003 but was never charged.

Mrs Osiagede was first questioned by police after they found clothing similar to that worn by ‘Adam’ in her Glasgow tower-block flat in 2002.

The only clothing on his body was a pair of orange shorts, exclusively sold in Woolworths in Germany and Austria.

Dressed in a traditional gold and green dress, Mrs Osiagede denied any involvement with the death of the young boy. Asked who killed him, she said a ‘group of people’.

She added: ‘They used him for a ritual in the water.’
Claiming the boy was six years old, she said: ‘He was a lively boy. A very nice boy, he was also intelligent.’

Detailed analysis of a substance in the boy’s stomach was identified as a ‘black magic’ potion.

It included tiny clay pellets containing small particles of pure gold, an indication that Adam was the victim of a Muti ritual killing.

Muti murders, common in sub-Saharan Africa, are carried out in the belief that the body parts of children are sacred. Bodies are often disposed of in flowing water

If he is illegal, you should not be dating him.
Avoid ANY immigrant. . .Nigerian or otherwise with 'immigration' problems.
No, I don't know anyone who lives in Germany.
Only extremely poor and wretched Nigerians will live in such a place where English is not spoken and would prefer to live like fugitives. kiss

If he has a Nigerian passport, he should go back to Nigeria and renew it there.
If he has a German passport, he should have no problems renewing it in Germany right?

I am glad the German government is 'difficult'. I wish the USA would be just as difficult to keep ALL illegals OUT too! cool

AjanleKoko:
Possibly in response to the larger British anti-immigration sentiment expressed during the elections.
but thats the point i made in an earlier post which you seemed to disagree with

AjanleKoko:
Influx of students into Britain is influx of funds into the UK. What about visa fees? Steady revenue.
thats possibly why they did not make further cuts than these. with 80% cuts in university funding, they upped tuition fees to £9000 probably to cushion the impact of fall in revenue from oversea students


AjanleKoko:
If she had said that the student visas were a source of illegal immigration, given the hoopla about terrorism these days, well, it would be tenable. But it's well within the power of the government to maintain a list of accredited UK schools and deny visas to students seeking admission to schools not on that list. Abi?
illegal in the sense that some students dont come here to study but exclusively to earn a living and bring their extended family with them. also the colleges may have had genuine accreditation, but they instead focus on exploiting non-eu economic migrants by bringing them into uk under the pretext of coming to uk to study.
some even know nothing about their course or colleges when questioned by immigration at the airport.

AjanleKoko:
Maybe. But all the supposed references to 'bogus students' and 'fake colleges' kind of make the minister look silly.
They should come up with a better reason.
why do you think these cuts are being made?
EducationRe: Uk To Cut Student Visas To Nigerians, Others by snowdrops(m): 3:02pm On Mar 25, 2011
AjanleKoko:
If this is what they're quoting as the reason, it sounds rather dumb. How will cutting down on student visas protect their 'world-class' institutions? Are the institutions offering free tuition and board, or don't they have admission criteria?

WRT the dig at 'bogus students'. Didn't they accredit these courses at these so-called 'fake colleges'? Or do the entry clearance officers not run checks on visa applications, to know which is to a bogus college and which is not? Sounds rather fishy. I doubt the minister actually said that.
there is only a limited number of staff at the UKBA handling thousands of applications. they cannot possibly run checks on every application. only suspicious/incomplete ones seem to be investigated.

the colleges are getting smarted at evading prosecution. and with 20% cut being made to Home Office budget, no wonder this blanket ban by the home secretary
