This is why I hate church people. They will do everything and even spend to keep you in your misery while praising themselves that they are doing good. 39 Likes 7 Shares |

Fretzerr:And do what? To come and face harsher one here now we have Buhari as a president. Presently, sleeping in Buses in UK is far better than sleeping in a mansion in Banana island, Lagos. Serene environment, security fully at alert, good paying jobs to sustain, no stray bullets from untrained policemen, but in Banana island, flood fit come your bedroom come carry you enter sea. 152 Likes 14 Shares |

21-yrs is a freaking long time to be wasted hoping and waiting for papers. In those 21-yrs he could have developed himself in many more meaningful ways. It's not easy being an illegal immigrant abroad. Smh. 168 Likes 6 Shares |

He wasted 21 years of his life. If he had returned home, there is a possibility he would made something significant of his life during that period. Opportunities abounds everywhere in Nigeria and people are making it big all over the country. Anyway, congratulations to him for finally getting the “leave to remain” in the UK. At least, he can start life all over again at 55. We never can tell what he can achieve before 70. 78 Likes 2 Shares |

Lie's that Nigerians make, just to secure asylum is too childish. Imagine that a military head of state will cut off his head, if he goes back to Nigeria, even Nnamdi won't get that punishment. One mumu said the Emir of Aba will force him, to convert to Muslim, once he steps foot on Nigeria. One said the Sultan of sokoto, won't allow him to enjoy, his gay rights in Nigeria. It baffles me these insidious kids sleep at night. 84 Likes 4 Shares |

This is difficult to understand. Wasting all of 21 years jumping away one's destiny. Am I the only one who thinks the refugee aspect of running from an iron-cast dictatorship was cooked up by guyman? Raise your hand if u thought so too. Nigerians cant cease to amaze me. For God's sake people still make it in Nigeria!! 43 Likes 6 Shares |

So in all those 21 years, are you telling me there have not been people who once had nothing in Nigeria and all of a sudden have a lot, Are you telling me there are not people who were a nobody financially 21 years a go in Nigeria and now are well to do fiancially. Are you telling me there are not people who within the last 21 years have built houses upon houses, cars upon cars and they are not even into politics tbh May God direct everyone to where his fortune lies 43 Likes 3 Shares |
