Failed Asylum Seeker Allowed to Stay in UK on Ninth Attempt – Because She Joined Terror Group

by Will Jones
13 February 2025 11:26 AM

A Nigerian woman who tried and failed eight times to secure asylum in Britain was finally granted the right to stay after joining a terrorist organisation just to boost her claim. The Telegraph has the story.

The judge who gave the 49 year-old woman the right to stay acknowledged that she was not being honest about her political beliefs and had become involved with the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) only “in order to create a claim for asylum”.

The woman, who came to the UK in 2011, joined IPOB in 2017. A separatist group that has been blamed for acts of violence against the Nigerian state, it has been banned as a terrorist organisation by Nigeria but is not proscribed in the UK.

Upper tribunal judge Gemma Loughran ruled that the asylum seeker’s activities on behalf of the group meant she had a “well-founded fear of persecution” under human rights laws due to her “imputed” political opinion.

The disclosure in court documents, seen by the Telegraph, is the latest immigration case in which migrants have used human rights laws to halt their deportation or win the right to live in the UK.

It is the fourth case exposed by the Telegraph this week. Previous examples include an Albanian criminal who avoided deportation after claiming his son had an aversion to foreign chicken nuggets and a Pakistani paedophile who was jailed for child sex offences but escaped removal from the UK as it would be “unduly harsh” on his own children.

On Wednesday, the issues raised by the cases dominated Prime Minister’s Questions, with Sir Keir Starmer branding as “wrong” another tribunal decision that allowed a Palestinian family to come to live in the UK after they applied through a scheme for Ukrainian refugees.

He said Parliament, not judges, should make the rules on immigration and pledged Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, would work on closing the loophole.

Chris Philp, the Shadow Home Secretary, said the Nigerian case was “patently absurd”.

“This shows judges are inventing new and comically ludicrous interpretations of vague European Convention on Human Rights’ (ECHR) articles in order to allow foreign criminals and illegal immigrants to stay in the country,” he said.

“This is an abuse of the power judges have been given.

“It is clear to me that a radical overhaul of human rights law is needed in order to end this abuse by the judiciary – who have taken for themselves what amounts to legislative powers.”

It follows controversy over some asylum seekers converting to Christianity to boost their cases, or making false claims about their sexuality.

The Nigerian woman, who was granted anonymity, submitted eight different appeals against a rejection of her right to remain in the UK. They ranged from claims under ECHR Article Eight, which guarantees a right to a family life, to assertions she was a victim of trafficking.

They were all rejected over a 10-year period.

Worth reading in full.

Well done Chris. You have proven yet again – Fraud. Fraud. Fraud. UHI completely disregarded by the discredited Met. Aligns with Climate Gate and the ridiculous Hockey Stick etc

There is no warming imo – many areas of the world are uncovered by stations, and many regions seem to be cooling. Overall it is likely a wash. Nothing unnatural is going on. And as you have written, there is no such thing as a global temperature.

Why the fraud? Money, power, more governmental control, with the totalitarian ideal of completely ‘owning’ and then getting rid of clean-burning, renewable, abiotic hydrocarbon energy. Climate fascism or saving the Earth, is an emotional plea for World Totalitarian governance (the NWO). Health and scamdemics is another avenue to the same.

When the record UK temp was announced I tracked down RAF Coningsby on Google earth. A weather station is obvious at 53 05 38 N. 0 10 22 W. It is close to the coordinates on the metoffice site.

if this is the weather station it is c. 10 meters from very large concrete and asphalt surfaces including an apron road. Asphalt is c, 20c above ambient on a warm sunny day. This would have raised the temp. Way above true.

another possible site of an automatic station is close at 53 05 37 N 00 10 04 W. It sits atop a 12m x 5m concrete pad and in close proximity to other large pads and the main runway which is 60 meters away.

i find it hard to believe any credible scientist would accept a high temperature reading from this site as representative and reliable.

The problem is not that the weather stations are at airports. Airports need to know what’s happening in their immediate area. The problem is using data from a station designed to serve an airport’s needs and claiming it represents a wide area beyond.

Yes, we need weather stations at airports to keep the planes moving safely. No, they do not represent what’s happening in Farmer Giles’ field.

The most important things for an airport to know all of the time are atmospheric pressure, wind direction, and wind speed. If their local met station records these accurately – which in the case of wind speed tends to mean away from buildings, hills, fences, trees etc – that’s most of the job done. A met station situated on the open tarmaced area of an airport would give them the above information, but the absolute temperature readings would be almost meaningless

‘Penny (Endersby) became Chief Executive of the Met Office in December 2018. For most of her career she has delivered science and technology on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.

As Chief Executive, Penny leads the strategic direction of the Met Office and is:

  • The UK’s Principal Representative to the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO)
  • Executive Sponsor of our BAME Network
  • Executive Sponsor of our Net Zero Strategic Action’

She was appointed by Theresa May…….

She is an expert on ‘intelligent armours’

The government, any governments, are no good at running anything, least of all the weather.

Would someone, anyone, please get a grip…….

The acronym BAME makes me seethe with rage. Not only is part of the race grifting industry, but it lumps together people who often probably have very little in common. Black and Minority Ethnic. The “blacks” (whatever that means – I suppose people of ultimately sub-Saharan African origin – tiny region, all the same “race” except “race is apparently a social construct, I am getting a headache, presume this includes people from the Caribbean whose ancestors came from “Africa” – but not Arabs presumably – but “race” is definitely a social construct) are lumped in with “minority ethnic” – I think they mean brown people of various shades, except skin colour is meaningless, and does this include people from, for example, China? What a crock. I guess it started out as a “black” thing and then they tacked on everyone else, Indians, Pakistanis etc don’t get their own part of the acronym. Utterly pathetic. Just call it non-white, because that’s what it means, sorry Poles and Travellers you’re not important, we’re not sure about the Chinese but who cares about them anyway, and we’re not sure if Jews are white either, whatever a Jew is. How this abomination was ever proposed and is still being used is beyond me.

Yes, the whole “people of colour” hoax was invented to lump Orientals in with Africans and Indian Subcontinentals, which they themselves would never do, in order to unite 93% of humanity against the World’s Smallest Ethnic Group, Europeans, now comprising 7% of all the people on the planet. Part of the genocide plan.

The problem is usually one of encroaching urbanisation causing heat islands, and yet, as Tony Heller points out, NASA etc have been adjusting the earlier records downwards.

I look forward to the MSM latching onto this and revealing how the powers that be deliberately mislead us.
Can we rely on any official figures ? I have long since ceased to believe Covid figures (vaccine harms, deaths, illnesses, efficacy of interventions), immigration levels, outcomes of Government initiatives and the truth about any overseas interventions.
It is probably more accurate to start off from the premise that everything they say is a lie and wait for evidence that you are wrong, rather than take anything at face value (or should that be two-face value).
Remember their motto – I’m from the Government and I’m here to screw you.

Anyone who has been looking into this issue who does not depend on government money for research or who is not a brown envelope politician doing the dirty work for the Climate Industrial Complex knows that the temperature record of earth is a dog’s breakfast of manipulated data that has been fiddled about with more than a prostitutes knickers. But the important thing is that it has been fiddled about with for political purposes by government funded data adjusters. ——–A good friend of mine asked “But why would people say there is a climate crisis if there isn’t one? ———A very good question that I wish more people would ask instead of switching on their 6 O’Clock news to be misinformed and brainwashed by a bought and paid for media.

I was talking to someone about this fraud the other other day, and the only question she had was “Why? Why would they do that? It doesn’t make any sense”. “Control” I said. I explained that the climate hoax allows the elites to control every single aspect of our lives – behaviour, travel, purchases, food… the whole shebang. Again the same question “But why?”. I paused. It seemed difficult to articulate. Roughly what I said was that these people see us as parasites on their planet. A planet they own, and we must be controlled otherwise we will run rampant, destroy it and kill each other like savages. “So you think this is all because a small handful of egotistical w*nkers have got together and decided to bully us and steal our sweets” she said incredulously. “That’s exactly what I was trying to say” I replied.

Klaus Schwab was even more forthright when he just blatantly told us “The lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle classes…………..are too high”.———–Basically our standard of living is too high apparently and that has to be lowered somewhat, with climate as the very plausible excuse.

A day or so before the Coronation celebrations I walked in St James’s Park. There was a weather station within five meters of three large diesel generators. I doubt St James’s is a suitable place even at the best of times, with crouds and vegetation nearby, a large lake and a central London location but its readings when generators are nearby are useless except to those who want to fake the numbers.

The Met Office seems to be yet another tax payer funded organisation which has not seen fit to do its job properly, it has not kept its capabilities up to date and instead spends large amounts of political campaigns. You can be sure that if the political campaigns were undermined by weather stations UNDER reporting the temperature they would have been replaced long ago.

Compaired to the costs of their DEI and PR departments, a rolling programme of relocating and renewing weather stations would be easily funded.

What meteorological resource do the forces use these days; I hope not the Met, which was designed for that purpose.

Can someone pass this info on to Jim Dale, the so called meteorologist at GB news? He’s an utter knob who thinks that the world is currently on fire.

Yes I saw that the other day and ofcourse Eammon Holmes and Isabel Webster know virtually nothing about this issue. Holmes is really just a tittle tattle gossip shop breakfast show presenter and he regularly lets Dale spout all manner of nonsense like “the world is on fire” with no questions asked. ——-Mark Steyn would have ripped the silly activist to shred, and Nana Akua gives him short shrift. But the best presenter I have seen challenge the buffoon is Hartley Brewer on Talk TV

Met office weather stations fall into two groups: synoptic which are used for forecasting and climate monitoring and non-synoptic which are there for special reasons e.g. someone needs to monitor the temperature at specific location in a city. Non-synoptic stations are not used for forecasting or climate monitoring. Are these figures just for synoptic or do they include non-synoptic (which may well be CIMO 4 or 5 because that is not relevant to them)?

Fascinating article. It makes me wonder whether some of those UK temperature stations may have been quietly shut down, as was found in the US a few years back, but fake temperature readings were still being taken from them to bolster the Global Warming narrative.

With reference to USCRN – worth reading this. It actually shows a slightly higher warming trend than the full national record although it matches it extremely closely.

Warming is what happens in an Interglacial period. There have been quite a few similar warming periods in the last 2 thousand years alone, but apparently all of the natural stuff that caused those has suddenly ceased and only humans apparently now regulate the planets temperature. ——-The audacity of the climate industrial complex with their discredited hockey sticks etc is quite bare faced. —–PS Just because something warms does not mean humans warmed it, if indeed we have any warming at all since we can hardly trust the manipulated temperature data.

But climate scientists don’t assume all the natural stuff has stopped. They observe and measure the possible natural causes and they don’t account for current warming e.g. solar radiation is actually decreasing at the moment. Increased GHGs do account for it.

Well I find that unacceptable for an anonymous stranger to start discussing gratuitously the sensitive personal health information of another commenter when wholly irrelevant and particularly such a serious medical condition.

Presumably he knew this information from a comment you made somewhere else? How else could he [or she?] know that?

In your shoes I would be most distressed to have someone do that to me.

It doesn’t bother me. My myeloma did come up here once, I think on the topic of the NHS, but that was at least a year ago. On reflection I suspect it was a joke gone wrong. The idea being that I must have something wrong with me to make the comments I do.

Anyhow thanks for your concern.

There is something wrong with the attitudes of the person concerned. I had cause to come to that conclusion some time ago over several exchanges then.

Chris would you consider doing an article about chem trails. The met office is gagged and will not discuss what we see in the skies daily. Governments are beginning to admit weather manipulation, Geoengineering. GeoengineeringWatch.net is a good resource as is Judy CurryPhD blog, books and X. Judy is an American climatologist and former chair of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I worry about what is being sprayed in our atmosphere.

‘A reliable source of global data is to be found in (Prof Roy Spencer’s) UAH satellite record, which shows less overall warming since 1979 than the surface datasets.’

Dr Spencer is also responsible for the calculation (see his Global Warming Scepticism for Busy People) that natural thermal inputs to the Earth’s climate system, mainly from deep-ocean turnover, are not known to within an accuracy of 10 Watts per square meter of the Earth’s surface. Whereas all the slight warming we have seen since 1950 could be accounted for by warming of just 1 Watt per square meter, which a slight change in average cloud cover could easily produce.
