Don't deport Nigerians from UK

It was with a shock believe to know that the Senate Leader Victor Ndoma-Egba proposed a bill that will compel the federal government of Nigeria to repatriate about 16,400 Nigerian in various UK prisons back to Nigeria and other convicted Nigerian prisoners serving various jail terms in other Commonwealth countries.
According to Senator Ndoma-Egba and his minds alike they are concerned that the government of the UK spends about 1.6 million pounds in a day to feed the Nigerian prisoners which they considered to be too much.

Please what interest has Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba and his supporters got on how much the UK spends in feeding Nigerian prisoners in the UK?
Can the federal government of Nigeria afford to spend about 1.6 million pounds on feeding only the assumed number of prisoners from the UK to talk less of about 3 times double of the UK number of Nigerian prisoners that you will be shocked to discover from other Common Wealth countries if repatriated?
Are Nigerian prisons better than the prisons in the UK that made Senator Ndoma-Egba think of bringing these prisoners home against their will? How patriotic is this bill? I hope that Senator Ndoma-Egba or other senators have not compromised their conscience with the UK government by proposing to include or to amend the constitution in pity to the UK government without consideration of Nigerian citizens. When did the Nigerian government become richer than the UK government? Why is this bill targeting only the UK government and Common Wealth countries, if it is for the general welfare of Nigerians?
Senator Ndoma-Egba, have you made a research to know how many Nigerians you are forcefully planning to deport back to Nigeria with this your bill? And is the federal government of Nigeria ready for the consequence?

People like us don’t accept this madness in the name of bill proposal. Please Senator Ndoma-Egba, did you consider the dangerous health implication the bad state of Nigerian prisons will pose for your planned deportees?
Did you consider that most people living in the western world do take preventive injections and tablets against malaria, typhoid, meningitis etc. before coming home because of Nigeria climate? Are you going to provide standard drinkable water or bottled water when you take them to that your disgusting prisons?
Did you consider that most of those Nigerian prisoners have contributed immensely to the development of the economy in the UK? Are you going to pay them part of the pension money they have worked for while in the UK when you and your fellow leaders are too busy increasing your allowances and salaries questionably and have refused to pay Nigerian pensioners their gratuity and entitlement as at when due?
Did you know that most of them may have been victims of racial discrimination and because people like you don’t care to help them get justice that is why they are in prison? Do you know that no sane person would like to exchange under any circumstance from a UK prison to that stinky, uncared environment with many untrained Nigerian warders in any Nigerian prison. Do you know that most of those people imprisoned in the UK and other western countries do work in the prisons and earn money?
Do you also know that most of them are equally learning handworks in the prisons? Do you have such corrective measure in that stinky corrupt country? Do you know that they are well feed? Have you been able to feed the prisoners in Nigeria satisfactorily? Do you know that when the UK prisoners are sick that doctors do attend to them, unlike self medication in your Nigerian prisons where a prisoner gives warders money to buy medicine for him or her like PR, Phensic, Panadol, Paracetamol or Choroquine etc. when sick? But when you are sick Senator you will run to the UK for treatment and yet you want to forcefully take those that have been opportune to enjoy such privilege like you. Why don’t you propose a bill that will make you not to run to the UK for medical check-ups? If you don’t have any bill to propose please sit down because you must not propose.

I have a better bill to propose than this bill. I propose henceforth that all our elected leaders from the President to the Local Government Chairmen, from the ministers to the commissioners and all the political appointees and all Personal Assistances are hereby banned from traveling out of Nigeria for medicall check-ups or treatment including past Presidents or head of States, Governors, senators, ministers and commissioners. Anybody that contravenes this is liabe to five years imprisonment without option of fine. This is a better proposal that will make our hospitals well equipped and I throw your bill and my bill to the public court.

Mr Senator Sir, since you want to be the minister for prisoners who cares so much about their welfare, why don’t you look into the situation where female prisoners in Nigeria are conceiving and bearing children under the watchful eyes of the warders? Why don’t you look at the situation that leads to so many people dying as a result of cholera or malaria etc. in Nigerian prisons? A prison to a large extent is supposed to be a corrective measure as I understood. In consideration to this, why don’t you make sure that Nigerian prisoners are reasonably engaged while still in custody so that when they come out they will be useful to the society and turn new leaves from what led them to prison? What we have in Nigerian prisons today is that either a prisoner comes out of prison with an infectious disease or worst than what she or he was before going to prison because of the “I don’t care attitude” of our so-called leaders who don’t care about the consequence of their actions on the citizens like the bill you are proposing. If you care so much why don’t you make a bill specifically that will make it compulsory for the federal government to try to bring home all Nigerians that are condemned prisoners in various countries like Thailand, Malaysia, China or Indonesia etc. waiting to be hanged because they are the ones that need help? Why not use this money that may be used in bringing these Nigerians home to improve the standard of Nigerians in other areas or Nigerian prisons if the money must be spent in prison related issues? Why is this bill more important and urgent now amongst all the problems facing Nigerians?

How are we sure that this is not another means of siphoning money through nepotism of giving the contracts of bringing these Nigerians home? Please Senator Ndoma-Egba, kindly take care of the prisoners in Nigeria first before bringing people that are in heaven in UK prisons in comparison to the hell fire called Nigerian prisons. Provide jobs for out of prison Nigerians like it would be in the UK before this abracadabra proposal. Are you trying to prove that you care so much about the welfare of the prisoners when you don’t care how and why they went to prison? Please, your help is absolutely not needed here and save yourself this energy. Mr Senator Sir, can you please explain to many concerned citizens how this your bill will improve the economy of Nigeria or will advance positively the lives of those affected Nigerians? Can you please Mr Senator make a letter written by any of these Nigerians in the UK prisons seeking your intervention of facilitating their repatriation back to Nigeria public and I will publish hundreds of mails and letters from Nigerians in Asia and Europe sent most times through failed Nigerian ambassadors to the federal government of Nigeria crying for assistance to get justice but people like you in power and their cohorts abandoned them.

In the words of Napoleon Hill “An educated man is that man who has learnt how to get what he wants without violating the right of his fellow man.” Whereas I agree that Senator Ndoma-Egba is exercising his legitimate right and wants to be counted as one of the vibrant senators in the senate, I do not agree that it should be done to the detriment of the masses who voted for him to better their living with qualitative bills and debates. While I congratulate the senators who are opposed to this bill I want to equally remind promoting senators that irrespective of how they lobby to legitimize this bill, that this bill as proposed by Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba violates the right of any affected citizen, and that the bill is sufficient enough to put many homes in Nigeria in sorrow and pains for too long if passed. I also want to inform the senators that this bill if passed, will make the injustice against Nigerians in the UK worst because so many more will be unjustly jailed. Knowing that it would be the easiest way to deport Nigerians the UK government will use this bill discriminatorily against Nigerians with kangaroo courts, and more miscarriage of justice against Nigerians should be expected. Therefore, I do hope and pray that the Nigerian senators will critically analyze the implications of this proposal and make sure that it does not pass the next reading.

While I pray for the death of this bill, I urge fellow Nigerians especially our press men and women to please help to unplug this root before it grows because we are all involved.

Nigerian woman with five babies on the NHS cost £200,000 is married to a richman

If the report published in the Daily Mail Newspaper that a Nigerian woman who traveled to Britain to give birth to quins at the taxpayer’s expense is married to a wealthy businessman, then the woman and her husband must be brought to book.

Not only have they successfully embarrassed and disgraced Nigeria, they have also proven why the average Nigerian even a pregnant woman can't ever be trusted.

The woman, Bimbo Ayelabola, 33, had two boys and three girls in April by caesarean section and remained in hospital for almost two weeks, costing the NHS up to £200,000.

According to the Daily Mail she came into the UK with a visitor’s visa, which has expired and she is now fighting to remain in this country, claiming a return to Lagos, Nigeria would leave her homeless and without a ‘support network’ to help her raise her five children.

However the report revealed that her husband, who remains in Nigeria, is a wealthy businessman. A University graduate Ohi Nasir Ilavbare is chief executive of his own logistics company whose clients include British American Tobacco and DHL.

He also owns and runs an upmarket hotel and business centre in an exclusive suburb of Lagos, where his company, Spry Logistics, is based.

Here are comments by British nationals, what's your take?
Brian Spennymoor, Well are we really surprised.....Just wait until her extended family start arriving claiming they have the right to live here because of "Human Rights"....this country is the dumping ground for the worlds rubbish...Thanks "Dodgy Dave" you certainly did away with the Human Rights Act....Well didn't you....Well less than four years to go and the clock is ticking.
- Brian, Spennymoor

Jim Dyer, Disgraceful! They should be sent back immediately and the NHS bill paid by her husband. No way should she be allowed to soak the benefits and welfare system here like many others do. They both wanted a lot of children so hey should support them in Nigeria

Richard Clarke, How much longer are the British people going to put up with this abuse of the NHS and all the other freebies handed out to people who have no right to them. This woman is a disgrace, but then so are the authorities for allowing these situations to continue on a regular basis without any intervention.

Anonymous, When is this government going to enforce an overhaul on the system.These people from the developing countries are taught to deceive.lt is a learned culture to get what they want through deceptive means.They do not give a dam about compassion. Stop them before they even enter Britain by using policies that has laws of commonsense. So,not Britain has become the baby breeding incubator of the world now.l feel so ashamed with this system of ours

Illegal immigrant jailed for stealing identity

The UK Border Agency has published details of a man, in the UK illegally, who has been jailed this week for two-and-a-half years for stealing another man’s identity and pretending to be him for 12 years.

The report continues:

Sukhjiwan Singh Burham, a 37-year-old Indian national of Erica Close in Slough, was arrested by UK Border Agency officers during a raid on a catering firm in Southall, west London on 2 April 2009.

He claimed to be a British national named Avtar Singh, and a later search of his property by immigration officers uncovered a marriage certificate and driving licence in that name. However, they also found letters and other documentation in his true name.

UK Border Agency checks revealed that the real Avtar Singh is a British citizen living in Canada, who was interviewed by officials at the British High Commission to establish his identity.

Burham later admitted that he had entered the country illegally in 1996, and had paid £3,000 for an illegally obtained United Kingdom passport. He had then used that passport to enable his wife, whom he married in India in 2003, and three children to enter the country.

On 16 June he pleaded guilty to fraud, deception and a series of immigration offences at Reading Crown Court. He was jailed for two-and-a-half years, with an automatic recommendation that he be deported.

Burham’s wife and children are now awaiting removal from the United Kingdom.

Gareth Redmond, area director for the UK Border Agency, said:

‘This conviction shows how seriously the UK Border Agency takes criminals who use false or fake identity documents.

‘We now have teams of specialist police and immigration officers working side by side to investigate exactly this kind of crime. This is another example of their success.

‘We will continue to work shoulder-to-shoulder with the police and other enforcement partners to identify criminal activity and remove those who have no right to be in this country.’

Burham was one of nine people arrested during a UK Border Agency enforcement operation at KMB Catering in Southall. The firm was warned that they face a fine of up to £90,000 for employing the men without carrying out the correct right-to-work checks.
Ends.

Employers can be fined up to £10,000 per illegal worker under the new ‘Civil Penalty’ system.

Cynthia Barker of Immigration Adviser, Bison UK, said:

”Employers are advised to carry out regular file checks, or use a specialist vetting service provided by a qualified immigration adviser.”
