line reports from the BBC and other media outlets stating that the United Kingdom deported 500 Nigerians have been proven false. According to these reports, 500 Nigerians arrived at Murtala Muhammed International Airport yesterday according to the BBC.
SaharaReporters spoke with the media unit of the UK Home Office, which oversees immigration and travel in the UK, which stated “we can confirm approximately 50 people were returned to Nigeria on a flight which arrived today.” The representative added that 500 deportees was “extremely high” and ultimately untrue.
The Home Office spokesman told SaharaReporters in a written statement that “those with no right to be in the UK should return home. We expect people to leave the country voluntarily but, where they do not, Immigration Enforcement will seek to enforce their departure.”
According to the Punch newspaper the Spokesperson for the Nigerian Immigration Services (NIS), Ekpedeme King, stated that the 46 Nigerians were deported due to immigration related offenses. He also stated that they were deported on issues unrelated to the alleged plans by the UK government to deport 29,000 Nigerians.
The BBC, which originally carried the story, has since retracted their story which was displayed on their website.
Now this figure sounds more realistic
ReplyDeleteSounds more realistic

ReplyDeleteExaggeration of the highest order!
ReplyDeleteLayman journalism on display as well! No proper investigation was carried out by the media before going forth with such publication. All in a bid to create a pathetic frenzy? Mstcheeww!

ReplyDeleteYou sound effortlessly stupid. Put yourself in their shoes. Little wonder you are jobless
DeleteFrom 29,000 to 500 to 48 now 50. UK continue.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting
ReplyDeleteThats why its good to verify any information before spreading it. There is a big difference between mass communication and journalism. Nigerians just do copy and paste with out verifying any information given to them. Thats why i like whites cos they re willing to sacrifice their life to give a real and true report unlike Nigerians
ReplyDeleteShould I say this is the best comment av read from you on dis blog..
DeleteNwa Amaka Hian. Na u sabioooo
DeleteBaseless statement if I must say .That's why you like whites and its still the same whites that came up with the original story. It was meant for them to verify from the Home Office first. Afterall BBC is from their side. Even if Nigerians did copy and paste, the info came from your so-called whites and its just normal naijas follow suit on this one.
DeleteLet our government develop this country,so people won't have cause to travel for greener pasture.
ReplyDeleteChai.. This hot harmattan, them de come face the harsh weather and "harsher" pockets... When they're used to advanced life, abeg make them no sick oh.
ReplyDeleteSome say it's 49, but regardless nigerians were deported!!
ReplyDeleteSo Nigerians breaking the law should not be deported because they are what?
DeleteOK..
ReplyDeleteSeen
OK noted.
ReplyDeleteSo who's lying na?

ReplyDeletejust negodu
ReplyDeleteJantamanta Kabakaba!
ReplyDeleteEyah, God shd help them.i know that some guys wil fuck a lot of girls all in the name of travelling aboard with them
ReplyDeleteI'm curious...If the BBC first carried the story, why did they say 'as is being reported in Nigeria'? Didn't the Nigerian reporters get the story from them in the first place?
ReplyDeleteAt this juncture, I don't think the number matters at all. The word deportation alone is disheartening. God will surely see them through, Amen!
ReplyDeleteIt is like weeping for someone who was jailed for a crime they committed. You are deported when you are illegal what else is making you people feel sad?
DeleteWhether 500 or 50, Nigerians were sha deported.
ReplyDeleteNa so Malaysia deport my boyfriend. I take off oh. I no dey for chere ka'm bia business. No money no love.
ReplyDeleteBut wen him dey dere dey send u money u dey chop am,wait o i thot u said u re married...u re jst a confused fellow...notice me o I die....
DeleteWelcome home.
ReplyDeleteBe it 48 or 50, the truth remains that some Nigerians were deported from the UK yesterday.
ReplyDeleteOur government should make this country a better place so that this migration to foreign countries in the name of seeking for greener pastures will be reduced.
They shud deport them
