The Irish establishment media has written a neat script about "Heroic" Helen Ogbu, the new Black mayor of Galway. The Nigerian born asylum seeker, direct provision survivor, foster carer, now mayor, its a perfect happy ending "immigrant success story". They're all celebrating it, all from exactly the same script.
But here’s what they've convieniently left out.
Back In 2001, at the peak of Ireland’s "anchor baby" scandal thousands of heavily pregnant Nigerian women were flooding into the country to take advantage of the "Citizenship by birth" rule, In 2003 alone, 4,625 babies were born to "non-national" women in Dublin’s three main maternity hospitals aline, and 1,528 of those were born to Nigerian mothers. Politicians like then minister for justice Michael McDowell and leader Bertie Ahern publicly condemned it. The issue became so inflammatory the Irish Government held a referendum in 2004 to amend the constitution and end the practice. The result? almost 80% of Ireland's people voted to close the loophole forever.
One of the Nigerian women who timed her trip perfectly was one Helen Ogbu. In 2001 she flew from Nigeria, which is over 5,200 kilometres from Dublin while heavily pregnant. There were no direct flights between the two states and she would have needed a visa, she then had to endure at least 11 to 13 hours of flying, with connections through Europe (usually London, Paris or Amsterdam)
This is a very long, expensive, and physically tough journey for anyone, never mind a woman in the late stages of an apparently complicated pregnancy, all supposedly just to "visit friends?"
Helen Ogbu subsequently gave birth to her daughter in Dublin, securing Irish citizenship for her child, and then promptly returned to Nigeria.
Despite this early "interaction" with the Irish state, her own website (and Labour Party material) completely and convieniently ignores this reality, they state -
“In 2006, my family and I moved to Ireland, seeking safety and a fresh start after the tragic loss of my husband.”
Despite this obviously intentional omission regarding her travel to Dublin while in the late stages of pregnancy, there’s one other glaring problem, her husband, Sunny Orji Ogbu, wasn’t assassinated until October 2010. Four years later in Nigeria.
As the inconsistencies and selective narrative parroted by the idolising Irish media unravels, there are more questions which nobody in the Irish Times or RTE seems to want to ask.
Her husband was a successful businessman and politician in Nigeria, he had property holdings, several business and came from a large well know elite Nigerian family, Where did all his money go? In Nigeria it is exceptionally unusual that a wife would not inherit the deceased husbands estate, but Helen Ogbu says she arrived in Ireland "with nothing" and survived on "Direct Provision" from the Irish state?
Three big questions. Zero answers from the Irish client media. Just lectures about racism for anyone questioning the rise of a Nigerian immigrant to become the darling of pro migration elites?
Race shouldn't be a shield from enquiry and accountability.
"Build it and they will come" Nothing that is being done in Saggart is for the benefit of the people who live there. Or for any other Irish person. Not the giant asylum centre nor the high rise apartments.
🇮🇪🚨
More than €100 million spent on medical cards for Ukrainians 🇺🇦 💰
How many Irish people needed a medical card and couldn't get one under Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil governments.
The Irish are treated like second class citizens again.
Not only is Saggart hosting huge numbers of bogus asylum seekers, the community will be swamped by more high rise apartments mostly to house people who are not even in the country yet. This is where we are at as a people ...
235,000 people have been given citizenship in 15 years. It can be assumed that tens of thousands more were entitled to citizenship as children of these "new Irish."
Irish people never indicated that the government could give away our inheritance.
We never consented to this.

🇮🇪 Ireland - 19th June 2026
African asylum seeker and health-care worker told by Judge to ‘obey the laws of this country’ after foul-mouthed abuse of gardaí [police].
This illegal migrant is now fully dependent on Irish taxpayers after being fired. No deportation mentioned.
Wow. That is quite a remarkable summary of just how crippled and how far left Irish politics has become.
Every TD for Louth voted in favour of removing the 3 day wait before an abortion.
I wonder how many other constituencies saw the same?
Women held hands and formed a protective cordon for Algerian man Riad Bouchaker accused of attempted murder in a knife attack against three primary school children and their teacher in Dublin, November 2023, court heard today.
Bouchaker pleads not guilty. His trial continues.
NIAMH UÍ BHRIAIN: Back in 2010, the Council found that 60% of social housing was being allocated to foreign nationals. So why would Simon Harris oppose Kerry Cllrs who want data on the nationalities of those in receipt of social housing? Why the secrecy?

@MichealMartinTD@fiannafailparty The reality of you is far more dangerous than any 'scam'
If this is the best your think tank can come up with perhaps it's time to stop wasting tax payers money on them.
@TruthFairy131@Lorien78 Not for the first time. Happened in a lane way up at Parnell Street according to two bin lorry drivers (last year) and someone tried to whip a lady off the street in yhe middle of the day nearby in Mount Joy Square last year.
Sad day when Sinn Féin's sole political victory is to ease access to abortion. Having accepted Partition and British rule in Ireland; surrender of sovereignty to the EU; mass immigration, and argued for the reduction of corporation tax, this is all that is "left."
