But why is Lai Mohammed foaming in the mouth?

We all know how hard is it to get an asylum visa than a normal visa.

Asylum visas come with so much stress that most people eventually give up.

The Uk granted asylum to Ipob terrorists on the ground that they must prove that they didn't incite violence or carried out violence, the Uk also acknowledges that Nigeria has the right to arrest and pesecute IPOB terrorists who incited and carried out violence. Let that be clear.

Anyway, it is not the first time the Uk have granted asylum visas to Nigerian.

During the bokoharam crisis, the UK and United states granted asylum visas to some Nigerians who they think must have been the victims of boko haram.

To be sincere, there is nothing special about this news. Joining IPOB terrorist group won't lead to automatic asylum visas, you also have to proof that you didn't participate in crime, now this is tricky, will the Nigerian government give IPOB terrorists documents like police report certificate and other documents they will need to apply for asylum? HELL NO

Nigeriabiafra82:

And you think they need all this from their persecutor before they are granted asylum

Oblongata:
You can fool people one time, sometimes, many times... but you can never fool people ALL the time. Truth be told, IPOB should have never been proscribed, they have been relatively peaceful and should have been coerced by the government rather than proscription. The world knows terrorist when they see them

A day spent without gossiping about lgbos is a day wasted.

Nigeriabiafra82:
The BMC are gradually finding their voice
One day they will be like nothing special in biafra having their nation

IPOB is a terrorist organization as proscribed by the government of Nigeria.

Ipob have never been peaceful, there are lot of evidence of ipob terrorism against the Nigerian state.

Mikehot:
Firstly Asylum visas have a cause to aid the persecuted persons (it can be expedited or slowed depending on how urgent the threat is and whether the laws in that country would protect you)

E.g if you are a gay in Nigeria facing hostility the human right laws still favour you here and as such your asylum would take alot of protocols to scale through (unless when it's an immediate threat from the state itself)

If you are accused of blasphemy in the north your asylum would be immediately expedited because the laws of the land are against you and the citizens need your head urgently.


But when Asylum is given by a nation against a state sponspored threat such asylum is expedited without delay because the nation granting asylum is already convinced through enough evidences that the persecuted group is innocent

They don't need much evidences again apart from video, picture, dailies proof that the Nigeria army targeted you on there Biafra cause

The people that sat to create the asylum know that the Nigeria laws and government won't give you the equity you want so it would be expedited


the Uk also acknowledges that Nigeria has the right to arrest and pesecute IPOB terrorists who incited and carried out violence. Let that be clear.


There is no evidence of the bolded in the report we read, infact it is a contradiction in your claim


UK don't see Ipob as criminals or a Terrorist group but instead freedom fighters

This is why the asylum exist, and this is why Lai Mohamed the representative of this government is crying.

UK officially supports Ipob now, none of their activities is seen as criminal but defense to against oppression

During the bokoharam crisis, the UK and United states granted asylum visas to some Nigerians who they think must have been the victims of boko haram.

At the bolded hope you know the asylum was granted to "victims" not Boko Haram but here the people who Fg calls the Terrorists are the ones getting asylum so it's different

To be sincere, there is nothing special about this news. Joining IPOB terrorist group won't lead to automatic asylum visas, you also have to proof that you didn't participate in crime, now this is tricky


It's special o, and yes joining Ipob can give you automatic asylum if you can show video, picture proofs that you are victim of army brutality because of your Ipob stance


will the Nigerian government give IPOB terrorists documents like police clearance certificate and other documents they will need to apply for asylum? HELL NO


Asylum visas doesn't need to have police, army government clearance because these are the same people the Visa is to protect you from, if you have dailies, videos, pictures it's more than enough, don't forget these are the same things they used as evidences to approve this Visa type


In summary you created this trend to calm your nerve but you have to be very worried now that it is the creator of this country that are going in this direction

It's more like they have revolted against the north whom they gave power to, they want to dissolve their mistake

thebosstrevor1:


The government has to be concerned because British is undermining the Nigerian government fight against terrorism and interfering in her affairs.

If the Nigerian government gives asylum to IRA, don't you think it will create a diplomatic issue.

thebosstrevor1:



I believe you need to read the UK Visas and Immigration guidelines.


This is the guideline.


UKVI, a division of the Home Office, directed its decision makers to consider if a person “who actively and openly supports IPOB is likely to be at risk of arrest and detention, and ill-treatment which is likely to amount to persecution”.

According to the guidelines, the decision makers “must also consider if the [Nigerian] government’s actions are acts of prosecution, not persecution. Those fleeing prosecution or punishment for a criminal offence are not normally refugees. Prosecution may, however, amount to persecution if it involves victimisation in its application by the authorities”.

An example of persecution, the UKVI said, is “if it is the vehicle or excuse for or if only certain groups are prosecuted for a particular offence and the consequences of that discrimination are sufficiently severe. Punishment which is cruel, inhuman or degrading (including punishment which is out of all proportion to the offence committed) may also amount to persecution”.

The UK acknowledges that the Nigerian government has a responsibility to maintain law and order, “to prevent and protect the public against acts of violence”.

It said where supporters or members of MASSOB or IPOB “have incited or used violence to disrupt public order, the government may have legitimate grounds to arrest and prosecute those people”.

decision makers are to consider each case on its facts, taking into account:

-profile, size, and organisation of the group/organisation to which the person belongs and its activities

-whether a person in the UK would wish to continue their activism if returned to Nigeria (if not, why not)

-whether the group/organisation has a presence in Nigeria as well as outside of the country and any evidence that it is being monitored by the government
person’s profile and political activities (including those online) and relevant documentary or other evidence
profile and activities of family members
past treatment.


decision makers are directly to still consider all claims on an individual basis, taking into account each case’s specific facts


If you read the guidelines very well, it does not favor ipob terrorists because many are law breakers that have committed crimes against the Nigerian government.

Your idea that asylum are quickly given without investigation is laughable, the guidelines clearly started what should be considered before ipob terrorist can be given an asylum.

Mikehot:
Nothing here


UK has to say these things so it doesn't look like they are invading a sovereign state


The devil is in the details


The fact that a nation calls a group a Terrorist organization and another nation is finding way to give them refuge is a dent on the Fg so UK has to talk of those protocols so it doesn't disgrace the FG completely


If you claim you don't support criminal activities and the home government says they are criminals then what is the need of asylum?

It's just face saving talk, by the way did you notice the Prosecution may, however, amount to persecution if it involves victimisation in its application by the authorities”


Essentially we all know that the criminal activities done in the name of Ipob are by government arranged persons

So Ipob don't run from prosecution, and if government is trying to frame people up this time, they would have alot of problems because it would lead to calls for persecution as this government does not prove most of its allegations against Ipob that keeps coming out as set up

You don't know more than Lai Mohamed that was crying yesterday


He knows the game is up

nlreserve:
This your new monica eehn! Is like you don tire for this your BMC job. You know, the number of jobless youths outnumber the BMC members. So, expect much pressure or ask your paymaster to employ all the jobless youths and pay them 30k too so the story go change.

thebosstrevor1:


He is the minister of information for Godsake.

So because a minister gave his opinion on the situation that means the game is up.

I hope you have heard about diplomacy and this job is not for lai to handle but the mr of foreign affairs.

The uk have given their guidelines, it is not the final say, it is just a proposal.

OfoIgbo:


With refugee/asylum status, you are allowed to work and open up business. With ordinary visa, you can't

With refugee/asylum status, the government can even help you with getting housing. With ordinary visa, you can't

With refugee/asylum status, you are entitled to social security benefits. With ordinary visa, you are not entitled to them.

I know IPOB refugees will especially be happy with being able to open up businesses and working there.

Mikehot:
I don't think he would be crying if UK and Nigeria government were on the same page
