    dont need to be a judge for that! she lied about FGM just to stay here playing on the gullible irish people who actually listen to her.
    this sort of thing happened in lagos 20 years ago. it very seldom happens now.

    she picked something to use as a tool to manipulate others into getting what she wants. she lied. she is scum.

    Banned.

    Why do you WANT her to be guilty?

    because you could sail a fully laden aircraft carrier through the holes in her story, and I would rather see the money spent on this case, and others like it, spent on our health service, for example, where Irish Citizens have been known to die on hospital trollies.

    I am so angry about this if,if,if it is proven to be correct.Irrespective we need to have a look at our whole asylum system.We spend 300 Million euros a year on our asylum process and 90% of cases are proven to be false...to my mind that is 170million spent needlessly.How many schools,vaccines,hospital beds etc. could that provide?

    We have been constantly dripfed media stories on Pamela and her kids,painting them in a positive light. Not a single journalist has bothered to do some real research on this...much easier to do a shiny happy story about how our facist government want to deport this poor woman and her kids....pathetic.

    since FGM is a womens issue, i have to pose a question to the ladies.

    the cost of the scrapped cervical cancer screening programme was estimated to cost 9million Euro per annum

    and the cost of dealing with asylum cases runs at 340million euro per annum

    http://archives.tcm.ie/businesspost/2003/05/04/story348179869.asp

    which would you rather have? because cutbacks the way they are, means you can't have both

    What if Mr A arrived in your town from X.
    His first act was to bum a cigarette off you..okay you say..no problem.
    Then Mr B arrives from teh same town,he shows up and asks you for a smoke.
    Then Mr C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L from X show up and start demanding cigarettes from you.
    When you refuse they accuse you of discriminating aganst them because of the town they're from.
    Soon Messrs M,N,O,P and Q show up with thier families.They seem well to do but insist on trying to bumcigarettes off you.They then start complaining that they're not getting enough cigarettes this way and that they shouoldnt have to ask.
    They take court cases demanding the rights to free cigarettes for them and thier families forever.
    Soon the people from X comprise one in ten of your town,they make no attempt to integrate or contribute.
    You mutter to your friends in the pub about these people and you have half the town on your back calling you names for failing in your duty to provide the people from X with cigarettes and anything else they may want.
    They then pass a law outlawing the discussing of scabbing habits,appearance or charecteristics of the people from X so you have to accept it meekly of be ridiculed in public or sent to prison.

    Scabbing for fags and running for your life are slightly differant.

    What you're doing is being patronising towards black people,you think that they cannot sort out thier own affairs(as a race) and that white people like you can fight thier corner for them,obviously from the safety of home.
    This implies that you,as thier spokesman,feel supeirior in some way to the people you think you're defending.

    Worryingly enough, nobody gives a damn... they are more worried about their precious taxes being wasted. The same people have no problem with our TD's taking helicopter rides like little children. That's a waste of our taxes too. Our taxes are wasted on a lot more important things than an asylum case.

    Gerry Ryan talked to Philip Boucher Hayes on his radio show this morning and Philip told Gerry that he investigated this case when it first came to light a few years ago. Philip Boucher Hayes says that he interviewed the Nigerian doctor that helped deliver the child when she was born and also dealt with the aftermath of the FGM procedure. The doctor was able to produce his documentation in relation to both events. Apparently, this doctor has since been approached by a member of the Nigerian military and told not to talk to any more Irish radio journalists. It would seem that there is a conspirancy to mislead and maybe we should not be so quick to judge in this case until we have all the facts.

    It's actually quite the opposite if you actually took the time to investigate it yourself. It's not that hard really...

    Doctor goes along with her story, doctor now shuts up and won't take any calls from irish news reporters, after this man was visited, possibly intimidated, to change his story. Think about it... for more than a nano second this time...

    Well there has been an investigation...

    Why don't people give out about the hundreds of millions we waste trying to jail corrupt politicians in the farse that is a tribunal? I know why, because nobody gives a damn. People here only give a damn when it is some non irish wasting our money, then all hell breaks lose.

    plenty of people care about it Jude Easy Zipper, just take a trip over to politics and pick a thread.

    What i wonder is, if Pamela Izevbekhai and her two daughters, were the white wife and daughters of a white farmer from zimbabwe, fleeing the renound racist and murderer 'Robert Mugabe' and his regime, would anyone give a shit about their plight if they arrived here looking for asylum ?? I doubt it would make the papers here at all, and they certainly wouldn't be getting any Civic Reception from the Mayor of Sligo either.

    Do you actually read a newspaper?do you actually believe that? given everything that has been reported in the last few months from politicians to bankers ..three words ANGLO-IRISH-BANK...people are concerned about money being wasted by ALL sections of society...I actually typoed earlier ,it is actually 270 million spent yearly on failed asylum seekers...think about that for a second and how that money would be better spent...I would have no problem if it was spent on e.g overseas aid but it is the sheer waste that sickens me...it needs to be stopped immediately.

    Declined or successful applications of asylum will still cost the same amount... There seems to be more hype about this story than anglo irish. I don't read newspapers for the amount of crap they spurt out. That's why people are the way they are. Depending on too much crap in the newspapers... I do believe it actually. People will do nothing about it. Talking on the internet amounts to jack sh!t. I bet that more people will actually do something to get this woman out of the country than the corrupt morons out of goverment... ;)

    well ok, assuming it made the papers, how many people do you think would take them seriously ? what kind of response do you they'd get from Rosanna Flynn if they went to RAR for help, pending their imminent deportation ?

    without bringing the thread off topic, it's been my observation that RAR and other champions of Pamelas cause, are both colour and gender blind.

    A male Nigerian infant died here a few years ago following a botched circumcision, and the Nigerian man who performed the operation walked away scott free, because the judge felt, that to pass judgement on such a case would infringe on cultural practices. Are we to assume that male children are not afforded the same protection under the law as Pamelas two daughters ?

    *edit*

    i want to add that i don't approve of FGM, imo it's barbaric, but there's no point in my campaigning to have it banned in Nigeria, because it already is, hence I believe Pamelas story to be a crock.

    so what's your solution ?? assume the responsibility of policing Nigeria by invading the country, and sorting out all of their internal domestic problems ??

    or

    assume the Nigerians are incapable of dealing with their domestic problems and offer anyone else who wants it, a safe haven over here ??

    the person pressuring Pamela Izevbekhai to carry out FGM on her kids is her Mother in Law, so maybe we could invite the Mother in Law over too, and they could all go to a marriage guidance counselor to sort out their domestic squabbles into the bargain?

    all provided by the Irish tax payer of course, and god knows we can afford it right now

    I agree, why should we be sorting out all these so called
    cases of FGM. They have been exposed for the most part as fraudulent.

    I can't bame Pamela for using it as an excuse to stay; she wants to stay
    and will do whatever it takes. She has already been to every
    bloody court in the land and Europe and still
    it hasn't been decided.

    this is a bit of a sweepeing statement, in most place FGM is something that is enforced by the MEN to keep the girls ''clean living virgins'' until marriage and to make sure that sex is more enjoyable for the men as the vagina remains tight after child birth etc.
    Handy. :)

    Unfortunately there is a loophole called the Dublin convention (handy name) which allows the scammers from Lagos to fly here via as many country's as they like, and as long as they don't step out of the airport for a smoke it doesn't count as stopping in a different country.

    female genital mutilation is disgusting, this woman was trying to protect her children as im sure anybody with children or even nieces/ sisters would do.

    if you thought somebody you loved was going to be put through a horiffic ordeal such as this, would you not be willing to do anything to prevent it.

    this woman is brave and is being a responsible parent by standing up to to something that she belives is wrong.

    and who are we to say that the doctor is not telling fibbs, this is a highly controversial subject in africa etc. and perhaps he was just trying to save face and make her look bad because he is ashamed of what happened.

    I agree that FGM is a barbaric act, and yes we should do everything to make people more aware that it happens and stamp out this inhuman ritual. However in a court of law, this women was found to have provided false evidence to support her claim for asylum. She used the claim of FGM to support her case, the problem with this is "the boy who cried wolf" for the following woman who comes along from Nigeria who this really is the case. The genuine victim will have a harder time trying to prove her case and the seriousness of GTM will have been diminished.

    You give two really sh!tty biased choices... You do what you do now, process the claim, investigate it and take the appropiate action. It's not as simple as pushing them aside to someone else.

    WTF are you talking about "invading" talking about such crap really shows you haven't a clue. Nigeria didn't offer anyone anything, so you are talking complete rubbish. Unreal how you came up with such nonsence.

    Whether or not it's our problem is irrelevant; are we simply to be a haven for every bloody scam in the book
    That can't be allowed. We have a breaking point.

    Pamela had her day, her chance, her case and she was found out.
    When do we act?

    If she stays, then all stay and anyone who arrives stays etc.

    There has to be some law and order and somewhere, someone has to say, ENOUGH!

    The case is not closed. Irish courts, what a joke. It's the European human rights courts that will find true justice, and that's what I will settle for.

It's the retards in power we need to attack and put right, you you and I know that will never happen, because nobody cares enough to do anything.

    Do you know how asylum works? It seems not.

    the asylum system is designed to help persons fleeing persecution (broadly speaking) from a tyrannical regime, like Robert Mugabes for example. Nigeria is not a despot dictatorship, it is a constitutional Democracy. To apply the same model to sorting out domestic squabbles between Pamela Izevbekhai and her Mother in Law is fundamentally flawed.

    you made one ludicrious suggestion, and it was that Nigerias domestic problems are our problems to sort out, when clearly, they are not.
    Just because it is illegal doesn't make a differance if it still happens on a pretty large scale...

    Once again, what does that have to do with Ireland ? That is a matter for the Nigerian Police to deal with.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56,710 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    dr.,And what did I say that wasn't factual or in the public domain? She was found out!

    "A NIGERIAN woman who is facing deportation used forged documentation to back up claims that her first child died after being subjected to female genital mutilation, a garda investigation has been told."

    you made one ludicrious suggestion, and it was that Nigerias domestic problems are our problems to sort out, when clearly, they are not.



    Once again, what does that have to do with Ireland ? That is a matter for the Nigerian Police to deal with.

    LOL... right... firstly you need to know what asylum is before you enter a debate about it... now gogo read some books or something. Like a good lad.

    Quote where I stated that Nigerias problems are ours.

    Lastly, if you knew anything about asylum then you would understand the situation. It is now not a problem for the Nigerian police. It is our problem.

    "A NIGERIAN woman who is facing deportation used forged documentation to back up claims that her first child died after being subjected to female genital mutilation, a garda investigation has been told."

    Would you read that again and ask the question. Read it after you asked the question, then again and again until you find the problem with your logic. If you want I can point it out for you...

    Sorry, I couldn't wait. The answer to your question lies somewhere in the bold text... ;) If you have an understanding of the fundamentals of law, you would know where you went wrong.

    Talk about scraping the barrel!

    You know and we all know the implications of this

    I didn't realize that racism has to do with colour. Would you call the Nazis racists? I guess you would. Were the jews green or something?

    political asylum: "Sanctuary given by one country to a citizen of another to protect that person from arrest or persecution".*

    *domestic barneys with the in-laws not included
    now gogo read some books or something. Like a good lad.

    i don't reply to personal insults, sorry, and your over indulgence in rolleyes only tells me your back is to the wall
    Quote where I stated that Nigerias problems are ours.

    easy, it's the basis of your entire argument
    Lastly, if you knew anything about asylum then you would understand the situation. It is now not a problem for the Nigerian police. It is our problem.

    and so sure you are of this fact, that the Irish Courts disagree with you TWICE.

    The first duty of any government is the protection of its citizens.
    i.e. It is the Nigerian Governments duty to ensure Pamelas Mother in Law doesn't go unpunished if she runs amok with the cigar cutter.

    in the meantime, my 1st pint is getting warm, and boards+booze aren't good bedfellows, so any further points you wish to raise will be addressed tomorrow. ;)

    Ah come on. Godwins law doesnt fit here. I didn't mentions the Nazis for the sake of it or compared anyone or anyones opinion to them. I thought that was a perfect example for racism not being necessarily linked to color of skin, thats all.

    What a disgrace. I honestly believed this woman was lieing through her teeth ever since the case came to light and that last minute appeal to the ECHR was despicable on her half. She should be jailed for wasting taxpayers money and the states time (ie: courts). Once her time is served she should be on the next aircraft back to Nigeria.

    Do you actually read a newspaper?do you actually believe that? given everything that has been reported in the last few months from politicians to bankers ..three words ANGLO-IRISH-BANK...people are concerned about money being wasted by ALL sections of society...I actually typoed earlier ,it is actually 270 million spent yearly on failed asylum seekers...think about that for a second and how that money would be better spent...I would have no problem if it was spent on e.g overseas aid but it is the sheer waste that sickens me...it needs to be stopped immediately.
    How do you propose we deal with genuine asylum seekers?

    I agree that FGM is a barbaric act, and yes we should do everything to make people more aware that it happens and stamp out this inhuman ritual. However in a court of law, this women was found to have provided false evidence to support her claim for asylum. She used the claim of FGM to support her case, the problem with this is "the boy who cried wolf" for the following woman who comes along from Nigeria who this really is the case. The genuine victim will have a harder time trying to prove her case and the seriousness of GTM will have been diminished.
    No. She wasn't.
    It was merely stated by one person who has since withdrawn that claim.
    Banned for ignoring warnings.
    Firstly, quote where it says she was found out... if you were following the thread you will see that posting untruths will get you banned.

    The case is not closed. Irish courts, what a joke. It's the European human rights courts that will find true justice, and that's what I will settle for.

    If we are open to scams then good for the scammers. Why not if it's so bloody easy. It's the retards in power we need to attack and put right, you you and I know that will never happen, because nobody cares enough to do anything. We whine and bitch about it, but are you really going to do anything about it? No.... that's the answer to that question ;)
    Dude has a point.

    far too many bannings and threats of bannings on this thread today for stating the bloody obvious

    See ........... this is how some mods (with a certain political stance) can muffle the voice of the majority. Ever wondered why this serious discussion could not happen in another forum e.g. Humanities? Because the majority would get banned for expressing their views (without corroborating evidence).

    I never heard of such crap on AH: "Facts or you will be banned".
    And the supporters of this woman can banter away knowing that there will not be held to the same standard.

    Here's a fact:
    'In an affidavit lodged with the European Court in Strasbourg, consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Joseph Unokanjo, who practises at Isioma Hospital, in Lagos, says he can confirm that no baby called Elizabeth Izevbekhai was delivered by him at the hospital and no baby of that name has ever been treated by him for any ailment, including post-circumcision complications. Gar- dai were also told there is no evidence of Elizabeth's death at the registry of deaths in Lagos'

    Now ban me for stating that fact.

    Ok.
    That statement has since been withdrawn.

    Edit: Ban lifted becuase I over-reacted. When someone asks to be banned, I usually grant their wish.

    You see that's fine. You're reporting his affidavit not asserting what he said as fact. Nothing wrong with that.

    Also bear in mind, I could sign an affidavit tomorrow that black is white. Doesn't make it so.
