It has been reported that the authorities plans to deport 29,000 Nigerians.
But the Nigeria High Commission in London had on Oct. 24 expressed worry over plans by the migration and removal policy of the UK Government, to deport the 29,000 Nigerians.
The Acting Nigerian High Commissioner in London, Olukunle Bamgbose, said. “I think about 29,000 Nigerians have been designated to be deported.
“We are insisting that due process must be followed before Nigerians are really removed from the UK to Nigeria,’’ he said.
He gave four conditions that should be met by the UK immigration office before the commission could accept the migration and deportation agenda. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Oh my God.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Nigeria like this? Why do people do this to Nigerians? How can we fix this problem? Is it really a hatred thing about Nigerians? Is this kind of behavior as a result of what we have done or what we are doing? We need to cry to God for S.O.S. I feel like crying for this my country called Nigeria. I know for sure that some Nigerians have done so many horrible things outside the shores of Nigeria but why not just make sure that the offenders are only the ones dealt with? I am kind of confused. And I know that every nation should protect her shores. What are these deportees supposed to do right now? Start begging on the streets? Where are they supposed to live? Some of them are no more used to the life in Nigeria. They have been out for so long that it will be devastating to them. Well, hold on to God and He will see you through. He created you a Nigeria and may be this is where (Nigeria) He only wants you to stay and prosper. Begin to utilize the experience you have in the UK to get Nigeria going forward and I know there are so many good things you can start that will benefit Nigeria and yourself. But to be truthful, this cut me to my bones and I am really feeling for these deported people. What will their friends say about them? OMG. I am crying as I write out my mind. I am putting myself in their shoes and the feeling I get is very bad. I can't imagine if I manage to leave Nigeria for another place (Which I want to do if I have the opportunity) and then I am deported after some years for lack of legal papers to live in my adopted country. WOW ! If you are like me who is trying to get out of Nigeria, let this be a lesson to you. When you get to where you are going, don't become a criminal and don't get involved in illegal papers to get by, it may backfire. Well, this is not at all a good feeling, no matter how we may say that Nigeria is their home sweet home. God bless you all as you cry to the Lord to show you the way to go, start from becoming born again, and moving to being obedient to the Lord, and knowing Him more and getting real close to Him, and in doing these, your life shall be established and fulfilled even in the land that seems there's no hope called Nigeria. The Lord will make a way for you where seems there is no way. Be blessed and don't forget, SEEK YE THE LORD WHEN HE MAY BE FOUND (Not as if He is lost.) If there is anything I wrote that you think is not right, please understand my state of mind and forgive me, I don't know it all and so, I may make mistakes. May God bless you real good IJN. It's me again.......RADEO 11262015 @ 1:58 am.
