You REALLY Couldn't Make This Up !!!

A Nigerian man who was jailed for four years for violence has won a legal battle against deportation on the basis of being gay, despite having been married to a woman and fathering a child by another.Nigerian father who was denied asylum three times is allowed to stay in Britain - after belatedly claiming he's gayThe man, who has been granted anonymity, first arrived in the UK in 1983 but overstayed and left nine years later.He returned in 1996 and made several failed asylum bids, including on the basis of political opinion and later through marriage to a Portuguese woman.He has a son from a relationship with another woman, but claimed he was 'in denial' about his sexuality at the time.The 61-year-old has a conviction for violent disorder and was jailed for four years in 2003. A deportation order was issued in 2006.But between 2010 and 2013, he said he was in a gay relationship and argued he would face persecution if removed to Nigeria, where his family said he was 'bringing the family name into ridicule and shame and that they would not hesitate to inform the security services of such practice.'The Home Office repeatedly rejected his claims, with one immigration judge describing him as not credible and dismissing evidence from witnesses, one of whom said he suspected he was gay 'because of the amount of time he spent in the bathroom and because he had found gay pornographic material'.Despite this, he has now been granted the right to remain on human rights grounds.Immigration judges have now declared: 'We consider that his account should not be rejected solely because of his immigration history or because he did not rely on his sexual orientation to remain in the UK prior to 2015.'They found him 'plausible.'Upper Tribunal judge Gemma Loughran said: 'We are satisfied to the lower standard that he is gay.'https://mol.im/a/15024237This incompetent judge should be dismissed and this criminal should be deported.   Immediately!

Mr Brigo"It is a well known fact that no black African can be gay'Perhaps I mis-phrased this.My impression is derived from the fact that one sees in the media few individual or group (LGBTQ+) expressions of support for it coming from that continent.Perhaps that is because homosexuality is illegal in a large number of African countries.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBTQ_rights_in_Africa"Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) rights in Africa are generally lacking, especially in comparison to much of the Americas, Europe and Oceania. There are an estimated fifty million Africans who are not heterosexual.As of April 2025, homosexuality is outlawed in 31 of the 54 African states recognised by the United Nations. In Eswatini, Kenya, Sierra Leone, South Sudan and Togo, only male homosexuality is criminalised. In Egypt, despite no law explicitly criminalising homosexual acts, the state uses several morality provisions for the de facto criminalization of homosexual conduct.

"It is a well known fact that no black African can be gayandHomosexuality is an evil practice of white people."Can I just check, are you being serious? I assume not but I can't tell.

Ms HammondIt is a well known fact that no black African can be gay and Nigeria obviously recognises this.Homosexuality is an evil practice of white people.At least we can only hope that his time in a men's prison (assuming that is the type of institution he was sent to) has not mentally scarred him.Of course with any criminal record he might find getting a job a bit difficult but I am sure a kindly Labour MP or activist will assist him with this.
