Nigerians on a KLM flight from Amsterdam to Lagos stop deportation of a Nigerian held in handcuffs by Netherland immigration officials.
The plane could not take off as Nigerians insisted on the removal of the deportee. Only after KLM officials complied did the flight take off.
You can only understand if you have ever boarded a plane with a deportee crying his/her eyes out as if he/she is being sent to the gas chambers. The fat illiterate immigration officials normally behave in a v inhumane way.
Having said that…he will still be deported when it is convinient.
Loud mouth Nigerians. Idiots. Mwenye nguvu, mpishe.
Why don’t they use that same and collective vigor and obnoxiousness to fight for good governance in their own country?
It’s not a right for them to fly KLM nor transit through the Netherlands for them to inconvenience the other passengers on that flight. If that guy was being deported, best believe they had given him a chance at due process. They even do not have all the facts as passengers as to why he was being deported. He might have been a violent criminal or violated the laws of the host country.
Next, certain fights, especially na wazungu, hapana leta pupa. That guy that was being told to stop yelling and recording, best believe he has been blacklisted. Good luck to him trying to fly or transiting through Schiphol in the future.
Reminds me of a time when a West African man in his 50’s aliletwa na maweider wawili kwa ndege na pingu. My guy, that flight is like 13 hours long na mapingu. Mjamaa aliletwa na nguo zake pekee. No bag, no documents, no nothing. Guy was talking to himselfu asking us to save him. Sisi waingine tukaambiwa we mind our own business, yaani, “face forward”, “don’t mind us” etc. In true Kenyan fashion, I thought of my children, my kibanda and minded my own business.
Deportation is a dehumanizing experience bana. Being frog matched na pingu na maweider kama mahabusu. I get why the Nigerians were miffed by this experience. Nobody opposes deportation. But the way they do it is rubbish.
