Truckpusher: You're 4o and no dime and you're still living your comment reminds me of an adage used by my grandfather that says that " a poor man will always find solace and compensation in his wife's punny" this is one reason you dare not take a poor man's wife his cry will get to high heavens and God must surely intervene

Kslib: He is a fool for taking his life.. Why do people like exaggerating stuffs.. Yes,the Nigerian situation is bad,but not bad to the extent of someone taking his life than to be deported back.. Abi no be the Nigeria wey me dey?
People keep saying
boko haram: Boko haram are only in the north and i still have friends in the north who move freely.. How many times does boko haram attack in a month.. I'm in no way justifying the deadly sect,but people keep shouting and making yeye noise as if boko haram attacks 5times in a day...
Kidnappings: yes,there is kidnapping in the east and some south south states,but how many have we witnessed or do witness in lets say "6 months".. I know its bad,but yiu guys make it look as if kidnapping has now become the order of the day..
Well,i guess people like to hype everything.. The Nigerian situation is somewhat bad,but it has not even smelled the stage of comparing it with hell or death.. That guy was already tired of life,and was just looking for an opportuinity to die,so he was presented with one... He said he had no one back home which simply means if he had someone back home he wouldn't have killed himself..
The guys sha,i doubt if he head Nigerian blood in him cos Nigerians are natural survivors,they fight situations no matter how hard it looks,we dont easily give up and I AM PROUD TO BE A NIGERIAN

HE WAS rejected by the state that raised him. Orphan Riliwanu Balogan was dumped on the doorstep of Southwark Council social services in 1998 by a “dubiously-named” aunt who disappeared into the ether leaving him a cultural nomad with no roots.

At the tender of age of eight, he became a ward of the state, left at the mercy of social workers, carers and solicitors who decided his every move until his tragic death.

safarigirl: So if he were a Somalian citizen, he would have organised his death and amputation rather than be deported abi?

Olori burukun, mumu ode, na so oyibo land dey sweet am reach, then the rest of us wey dey here nko? Mtcheeww, another lost he-goat.

They say we should respect the dead, but if you're dumb ebough to kill yourself for something fo trivial, you deserve to be trampled upon and thrown into the deepest part of Hades

Symphony007: In as much as i don't want to insult the dead. But this man must have been claiming benefits and can't imagine coming home to toil for his daily bread. How sad!!!

redsun:

He is Not going to hell,he is dead and at peace. While you remain in turmoil in the living hell that he avoided.

Legit1: So is hell better than Nigeria now

Or did he decided to dice it between chances and luck?

R.I.P though.

mrkels: He was just a troubled and somewhat unfortunate kid

ignis:
Who are you to judge where one is going after death?

babyosisi: [size=18pt]There is a moderator on this thread bent on censoring my posts
I asked why Nigerians are abandoning their children in the care of foster parents exposing them to a life of crime from lack of parental care
Examples are

The Fashanu brothers
Victoria ositeku that organized a hit last year
The musician named Seal
A host of Gang bangers and future killers born by Nigerian parents all over the ghettos of UK

The same reason why this young man killed himself

Why won't that moderator allow truth to prevail[/size]absolutely spot on..this is the problem we have here in the UK,nigerian born kid stabbing and shooting themselves,

Baby mama has posted documented publications to that claim

Eziachi:
Kid? If he is 21 on paper, then in real life add more 15 years-Nigerian way. 21 is not a kid's age. He is full grown man.

He had lived in Britain for nearly 13 years, but after falling foul of the law, the Home Office started to plan his deportation. They could not have picked an easier target: he had no family or friends to fight his corner on medical grounds and dyslexic Riliwanu lacked the confidence to speak up for himself...

His is an all-too familiar tale of someone who was failed by the very institutions that were supposed to protect him. He was not without flaws, far from it – Rilly, as he was known to his friends, had a troubled past as a minor that helped fuel the Home Office’s case against him.

His life was a reflection of the shocking figures that reveal children in care are twice as likely to turn to crime and represent nearly half of those in youth offending institutions.


The Home Office has refused to comment on the reasons for Rilly’s deportation, but an adult conviction for ABH in 2010 may have sealed his fate.

DISASTER
One must wonder how it came to such a decision considering Rilly’s background. Rilly had not been raised in a stable home with loving parents. Instead he had been bounced between children’s homes across the country.

He was once placed in a home in Newcastle, in the north east of England, which a friend claimed was a “cultural disaster” for him.

As an adult, Southwark’s social services team found housing for him in Grove Park, which neighbours Eltham in south London, where Stephen Lawrence was murdered in a racist attack in 1993.

Before the Home Office decided this young man was so unfit to remain a British citizen, they should have pointed the finger firmly back at the Government agencies who were essentially his parents. Had they made the right choices by him?

“Someone needs to be held responsible for what happened to him”, said Reverend Joy Barnard whose family had grown close to Rilly when he moved to their area. Her son, Harry, became his closest friend.

The Barnard family’s heart had gone out to the naïve young man after spotting Rilly wandering aimlessly unable to find his way home in a his new neighbourhood. He had no money in his pocket, no credit on his phone, and so the family spent hours helping him find his flat.

It is Harry who has taken on the role of his next of kin. Who else could have filled the devastatingly empty role?
Rev Barnard said: “My son is in bits. He said he didn’t see the point in fighting for answers, because nothing will bring Rilly back.

“But I said if this brings to light that the Prison Service is not doing its job properly and if it forces them to review their policies or how they treat people in detention centres, it could save some other young lad’s life.

“To do nothing, would have meant his life was wasted, that he lived in vain.”

A lot can be said for timing. The day before Rilly’s birthday, Harry had been denied a visitor’s pass to see him although he alleged he gave the required 24 hours notice.

“Were they punishing Rilly for something?” asked Rev Barnard. “Perhaps if Harry had been there, he might not have done what he went on to do.”

She added: “Rilly never wanted to talk about anything from his past. He mentioned his mum a few times and he was very eaten up about her death.

“He spoke only about his future and want he wanted to achieve. He loved his music and played the guitar beautifully. He was a talented kid. It’s such a waste.

eGuerrilla:

Cynicism that has no clear basis is wrong and, coming from you, this is a big disappointment.

I would be interested in how you explain a 22 year old (7+15) passing himself off as a child no more than seven, when he encountered social services in 1998. Do bear in mind we are talking about someone with dyslexia also.

clily: No1 hav d right 2 take his own life cos he can't create it..any1 who does Iƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇ goin 2 hell striaght..RIP to him shan
