“I married my wife from a poor family, took her to the UK in 1970, spent £11,000 every year to train her in school up to PhD. When she saw she was established, she took me to court in the UK and lied that I rap£d my daughter of 11 years so that I could be deported.”
-A tearful story of a Nigerian man whose wife kicked him out and separated him from their children after he trained her in school in the UK.✍️
Most Africans who migrate irregularly to Europe have to cross through the Strait of Gibraltar. It’s a narrow waterway that separates Africa from Europe, located right between Morocco and Spain.
That sea is usually very rough, and the currents are incredibly strong. I’ve been onboard a ship when we rescued migrants whose boat engine had failed, leaving them at the mercy of the sea. We had to hand them over to the Moroccan authorities.
Unpopular opinion: Weddings are for parents. If your parents aren't sponsoring your wedding, you have no business doing a big wedding. In fact, you're better off going to court for a certificate. If your parents can sponsor your wedding and you feel you need the cash more, collect the money and do a coroner wedding. It's not a crime.
We must continue asking difficult questions about how states exercise their migration powers and what safeguards are needed to ensure those powers remain accountable.
A Somali referee, Omar Artan, selected by FIFA for the 2026 World Cup, was reportedly denied entry into the United States despite holding a valid visa.
It raises an important migration governance question:
HOW MUCH POWER SHOULD COUNTRIES HAVE OVER MOBILITY?
Migration governance is not only about security.
It is also about fairness, transparency and equal opportunity.
If governments can deny entry after issuing visas without publicly explaining the basis of their decisions, what does this mean for trust in migration systems?
