"DEPORTED From The UK?" | So far THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE (Emotional video) 😭 is a video where Sassy Funke shares her own personal experience with immigration and "deportation". The recent video of a Nigerian lady being deported from Cape Verde trigged her to create this video. She also shares the Nigerian lady's experience. I hope you find this video helpful. I hope someone out there finds solace in my own experience.

I’m an American woman and personally witnessed this with my Nigerian friend in the Seychelles. They let me through easily but when he arrived later that day from Nigeria he ended up being interrogated and they actually came out to find me to validate I was meeting him and asked personal questions. They then gave him like four days and told him he had to then go get an extension at their passport place after they checked him out. One trip he took they hadn’t gotten around to it so he had use their local transport again and return. Finally they agreed he was ok to stay the remainder of our vacation but it was nerve racking and so discriminatory that I felt terrible for him. I know Nigeria gets a bad name regularly but it’s beyond ridiculous now and very difficult for us. I gave up on trying for a visitor visa for him to US because of Trump’s racist policies so after a 10 year relationship we’re still struggling with all the crazy visa things he endures. It’s like the world definitely discriminates bcoz of the fraud and scammers against all Nigerians. 😢😢

They lie in public and foreign country authorities see all of us like our leaders. We have no system that inquires of and follow up on mistreatment of our Citizens.

Great life story, and greatly told. Thank God you emerged the winner. Being a Nigerian is something none of us can change, only if God can bless us with unselfish, less greedy and people with natural leadership. Am sure your story will inspire many if they are confronted with such unfortunate circumstances. I totally relate to your story, it can turn your life upside down. I had the experience with my niece who like been in UK for about five years, and got admission to start Nursing course. She actually registered in the college of Nursing in west London, moved into the campus, while her papers were being processed. She was very confident that her papers will be through, she decided with her friend to visit France. Even if she had told me about the trip I would probably not say do not go, because she was already registered in School, and they never commented about her status, only said they will get her a student visa. This happened over 20 years ago. However, on their way back at Heathrow, she was not allowed to come in. She was held for 3 days before their deportation. It was only on that day she begged for her to be allowed to make a phone call to her auntie, to collect her possessions from the Nursing school. When I had her voice on the phone, I said no way, let me contact a lawyer immediately to intervene. She said no, she begged to be given the opportunity to make phone call, the trauma has been very intense on her not being able to speak to me. She has decided to accept the destiny of being deported, and they will be boarding in a few minutes. I was devastated, but had to agree to her decision and handed everything to God. I did travel to the school and collected all her belongings, and with God on her side, when she got back to Nigeria, she got married, and with her Husband moved to America, where she long qualified as a Nurse. She lives happily with her husband and their children, and put the life in UK very much behind her. I hope this will help people to know, they are not alone in this kind of situation, but when one door closes another will open.

[@SassyFunke]

WOW! Thank you for sharing your nieces experience. Indeed when one door closes, another opens. Glad she has built her beautiful life in the USA.

[@twilotso458]

Moving testimony with a positive end. Informative and well narrated. I had my own experience with the British immigration authorities decades ago. At a time when my student visa had expired by just a few days. I had the misfortune of driving my car into the back of a white van whose occupants were plain clothed policemen. They got out to inspect the mild collision, there were no damage whatsoever to either vehicles but they proceeded to identify themselves and ask questions about my immigration status. Then they searched my car, looked into my briefcase, saw my Nigerian passport with it’s expired student visa, some 2 days expired. Matter of fact, I on my way to Lunar House with the passport and supporting documents for what would have been an automatic renewal, I had been lax about doing it weeks earlier. At the time I was in my second year of a 3 year programme, I completed my first year satisfactorily and my fees for the new academic year had been fully paid. All the documents to that effect were in the briefcase. Regardless the cops cuffed me and took me to a nearby police cell, later informed me that I would be in court the following day for judge to pass deportation order after which I would be on the next flight to Lagos. Very next day I was arraigned before the judge who amazingly lambasted the policemen for wasting British taxpayers money by escalating a simple matter thus. In the judge’s opinion I was clearly a student, properly enrolled in a British institution, my fees paid for the oncoming year had been fully paid and there was no reason whatsoever to think my visa would not be renewed but for the laxity on my part in delaying submission of my passport for visa renewal. The judge then proceeded to dismiss the case as having no merit. Though requiring me to pay £1000 before release from custody, he confidently announced in court that he would make recommendations to the Home Office to renew my visa without delay. I finished that course, studied some more, settled, raised my family and like yourself and others have since naturalised.

I agree with the sentiment re JP Morgan. I had a similar experience - after my masters, I applied to JPM even when I was just on student visa and therefore can’t work full time. I opened up to them at the interview that I don’t have papers to work full time but if they can sponsor me, I will be exceptionally grateful. My God intervened from there! JP Morgan gave me the job and provided all the documents and guarantees I needed for my application then. I’ve worked in many other banks since then but I’m still emotionally attached to JP Morgan Chase!

Your experience with British immigration is just one of many horror stories which so many people go through everyday. I am so happy for you because it ended well. It ended well because you are so intelligent, not to mention that your are a King’s College girl! Many people in your position tend to lose their temper and fight the immigration officials but you chose to reason with them. It just goes to show that being polite in life will always take us a long way. I am from Eswatini myself and I got my British Citizenship in 2008. To be honest with you I treasure my British Citizenship so much because it allows me to live and work in one of the greatest countries in the world. Having an African passport is like a curse in Europe and I remember once when I had to sleep outside the French embassy in London queueing to get a Schengen Visa to visit France. It makes one feel like a second class citizen. Lastly, shout out to J.P. Morgan for fighting your corner! I guess they did not want to lose an amazing person like you. Reminds me of my own situation back in 2003. I graduated from London South Bank University and The Labour Party gave me the chance to stay and work in the UK only if I could get a job. I did manage to get a computer programming job through a guy I met at basketball but then the next hurdle was getting the work permit. The guy at the company where I got the job moved mountains for me fighting with the Home Office to get my Work Permit. He didn’t have to do that but he did and I will always forever be grateful to him and his company because he saved my life!

[@vincentadika8562]

Your humility act during detention played a major part in softening the immigration officers attitude , though it need not be. I had a similar incident when my wife and two year old daughter ( my wife was eight months pregnant) and myself were returning from Arizona, U.S.A after Christmas holidays at a friend's house in Colorado. We both had U.S.A visas We both had a British passport , our two year old daughter was on her mother's passport. We were both employed in the NHS for over ten years at the time. The reason for the detention was that there was no departure stamp from the U.K on our passports. We were waived through immigration on our departure without any stamp. This was December 1998 at same Gatwick airport. After over 4 hours wait, we were allowed to go without any explanation or apology. Am surprised that this kind of behaviours still persist amongst the immigration officers at Gatwick airport!

I'm not sure if I remembered her saying "refused entry" was stated on the paper that they were giving everyone in the room. I think she said "deported". Clarify for me great minds

What a story! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 I'm glad everything worked out 🙏🏿

[@temyontoptheresa.ddavies1759]

Sis you are so lucky that you were giving a chance to go home and sought it out to the company hmm very lucky coz lots of people got deported without giving them a chance like they did.....I had a similar incident 7years ago in USA wen I was pregnant ...but I was not as lucky as you ...they sent me back but thank GOD after almost two years I was giving back my visa to USA and my child became USA citizen in spite of the nasty ugly situation after fighting it out with them with layers and god god god was really faithful merciful to me god dog almighty came tru to help me out of that horrible situation

Thank you Fred! 🙏🏾

U are 100% right..U can never be more correct.

[@inspirewisdom2966]

Sassy There was what we call "Delayed Gratification" You should have made sure you secure "The Work Permit" AND THEN enjoy travelling to the USA,Dubai etc What were you thinking!? Anyway it must have been "Youthful Exuberance" that beclouded your judgement!. Its a stiff and hard lesson for thee!.

[@chrisc1881]

I was about to make the same comment you made. As soon as she started and said her student visa would have expired in October l knew she was in trouble. I advise people to get there facts and information before they set out to travel. I would have said no international travel until your work permit is settled.

[@Laygos]

Little known facts by a lot of people: There is an annual quota of how many foreign nationals, from developing countries that are allowed to enter the UK. Same goes with the quotas on issuing visas at British Embassies, with no refunds on visa-fees. Often, some people are deported not because they did anything wrong. Its like a lottery system sometimes.

[@dadakeshinro6749]

You are correct 😀

[@olatundebodede]

This is deep, thank you for sharing

[@teniabe7600]

Your story is emotional and is thought provoking about the state of Nigeria. Fear of going back to someone’s homeland is a very terrible thing. I however think what you experience was not a fear of deportation, But ratheri there was a threat of being refused entry if it had gone through. I must say the title of your video captured a considerable number of audience.

[@ademolajelilikasali7343]

Yes I also had an depotation experience yes I was an overstay schengen visa in Germany I was caught with some friends and I was taken to police station for about 4hrs I was about to be taking to deportation camp they have done all the process behold when the police have finished with me the chief police officer ask them to drop me in the deportation camp but to my surprise no one is ready to take me on this day I was set free but was caught again after some year later this time I went again with my friend to receive one of our friends that travel to Ireland back in Germany as you all know that Germany is a police country I was in the means of people outside waiting to receive passenger suddenly two policeman walk to me and ask for my passport there I know I was in trouble I try to run but I was caught but this time because they already have my details I was taking straight to deportation camp where I stay for getting to six months before I finally deported with illegal travel document but then I was also tired I want to see my family this how I was deported.but later secure another Germany visa and I got married with a Germany lady.

[@SassyFunke]

I am glad to hear it all turned out well in the end. Thank you for sharing your story 🙏🏾

[@shondastacy]

Wow it would be interesting for you to share in more detail this story. I'm amused by it

[@ademolajelilikasali7343]

Yes finally after being deported back to Nigeria I was in the country but because my German woman came down to marry me still German still don't honnor it so I was invited again by my friend to try another way into Germany,so even on interview day,I have to pretend as new commer despite all my process my interviewer almost got me but I manage to confused him but he told me that he knew I can speak German language according to the interview,he then says I should come next week for my passport in which I made it a week later I travel back to Germany in other to formalise the marriage but still they ask me to go back or I should pay 10,000euro for the cost of my depotation. Hearing this I told the German wife that I have to leave since my visa is schengen I now started a new journey first to Barcelona but then in Spain it was tough because when you remove S from Spain what you get is Pain.i move to Ireland there is my friend that I went to receive in my first part then in german,I was there for 2 to 3 yrs then to move to UK now I am a citizen all the journey started in 1998 to 2006 in Germany 2006 to 2008 in Nigeria and marry mid June 2008 before I embark on the second journey which I finally become Citizen.in all this God's will be done.

Honestly I am forever indebted to my company at the time. I battled with sharing this story again publicly as it’s not my typical content but I wanted you all to get to know more of my journey, more of me. I am happy it touched you ❤️🙏🏾 Thank you for all your support over the years.

[@odaijohn9959]

Nice one you are doing a gud job. I enjoy watching your videos because of the way you talk is so lovely

[@kevo7ful]

They were “refused entry” . I think the word “Deportation” was misused here.

[@justinanelson9856]

She said the document was stamped DEPORTED. Sassy Funke knew what she was talking about. She is very articulate if you have not noticed.

[@juliacaulker7173]

Wow it’s sad but good you were humble. Fortunately I was born here so I don’t know how it felt but I can imagine as I work as an immigration solicitor in the UK

[@praises5139]

All this talk about, according to the woman, "white people being allowed to go through and not black." The woman then said that her black friend "with an American passport" was allowed to go through. So now we get to the truth of the matter. Whether you are allowed to gain entry to a country is based on the issuing country of your passport and the agreement that (said entering) country has with your home country. Being allowed into another country that is not your own is not a right. It is a priviledge to be accessed by legal means. That's why you hear discussions about certain passports being more powerful than others and gaining you trouble-free access to most countries in the world. Let's be honest about what the problem is with Nigerian passports. It is corruption and illegal immigration. The reputation of the country makes "trouble free" access into other countries difficult.

BTA is basic travel allowance.
