Nigerians at home are currently bracing
for a blazing diplomatic row with Britain
as the United Knigdom plans to deport
over 500 Nigerians who have been
resident in that country today.
For over two weeks now, the affected
Nigerians in the UK have been crying out
to the Nigerian Government to come
their rescue,but it appears their cry for
help has fallen on deaf ears.
Some of these Nigerians are married to
British nationals, and deporting now will
mean that they may never get to see
their families and loved ones in the UK
again.
Sad enough too, the Nigerian
Government has been uncomfortably
silent on the allegation of Nigerian High
Commission officials in the UK taking
£3,000 bribe from UK officials to issue
travel certificates to the affected
Nigerians.
The families of the affected Nigerians at
home here are wondering why the
government is not taking any action on
the issue, when of course,it is common
knowledge that the British Government
will never condone its own citizens being
treated in the manner Nigerians are
being treated in the UK.
