A future Illegal Migrant who Failed to get this far. Now back in Nigeria His mum will be angry with him. From the First radio report his Mother Sold a plot of Land to get him on his way etc. BBC World Reporter Colin Freeman: [Evans William tells me he sold everything but the kitchen sink to fund his dream of getting to Europe. And I mean everything - his bed, his fridge, his TV, his spare clothes and his mobile phone. After borrowing yet more cash, he finally had enough to pay a smuggling gang to take him from Nigeria across the Sahara to Libya. In all, it cost him £750 ($1,000), but he wasn't worried. Once in Europe, he figured, he could quickly earn enough to pay off his creditors, and eventually return home to start a business of his own. It didn't quite work out like that. After six miserable months in Libya, where the gang forced him to work for nothing, he finally boarded a rickety boat to cross the Mediterranean. It got stopped by the Libyan coastguard, who threw him and 140 other passengers into a detention centre. By then he'd had enough. When I met Evans last month, he'd just returned home to Benin City in southern Nigeria, where he was among hundreds of migrants staying in a government-requisitioned hotel. ] Sign Of The Times Last edited by arista; 07-05-2018 at 03:42 PM. |

He is the problem we are facing. Hark at the veiled threat he may have to turn to crime or be humiliated for failing to get into the UK. If he can’t get work or earn enough in Britain will he turn to crime then. Wouldn’t trust him further than I could sling him. He has no right to come here and neither do the many others like him.

It sucks for him, but them's the breaks!
He wanted to earn money to return home and start a business? You can start off a business with £750, if you're money-smart and work like a donkey. |

One of my friends did not even leave Sheffield and relates a similar woeful story.
He was thousands of pounds in debt and reckoned that if he could borrow £10,000 he could set up a Cannabis Farm which would net him £30,000 + every 13 weeks. He borrowed the £10K from here, there, and everywhere and rented a detached house and set up his farm. All was going well, then about 2 weeks BEFORE his 'harvest' the cops raided him. He lost EVERYTHING including the £10K, and now he's whining about how he planned to break the law but fate dealt him a 'cruel' hand. I'm LYING, of course, but you get my drift.

Outside of the EU, it's not that simple, you need visas and stuff, even for a holiday you need to show you plan to return.

No after his illegal boat was stopped he took a option of a return to his homeland with $200. After 6 months working for nothing (in Libya) for the Smuggler Gang - he had enough. He can not Fly over he has no legal reason He wanted to enter as a Illegal to earn cash or rob folks. Last edited by arista; 08-05-2018 at 07:26 AM. |

...unless you're just labelling the entirety of the Southern Hemisphere 'terrorist country' for the sake of it, Nigeria and Syria are 5,000 miles apart
