Not so fast. Her supporters are building a case now on grounds that she should stay based on the inferance she herself may be in danger if returned to Nigeria, from the Nigerian authorities.
This is based on her own claims and seems to be getting support from RTE, who still will not admit they have been duped, or properly investigate whether or not they have been. The RTE reporter who interviewed the doctor at the center of the documents debacle claims now that the "dread hand" of the Nigerian authorities are behind inconsistancies in his own work.
The Sunday Times story is here:
Now Pamela admits papers are faked - Times Online
To quote the RTE reporter, Philip Boucher-Hayes, who claimed to have interviewed Dr. Unokanjo
Yet he says:“I have no doubt the dread hand of the Nigerian authorities intervened in this.”
There seems to be a strong contradiction here. How can he not be 100%, yet still back PIs story? In undermining the case against her claims he is backing her. Is this what passes for credible journalism from RTE? RTE seem to be positioning themselves to back Izevbekhai, yet not validate her story. But surely the onus to provide evidance lies with Izevbekhai?Asked whether he has any doubts about the identity of the interviewee, he said: “It wasn’t a face-to-face interview so you can never say 100%
This is beyond farce. Dr. Unokanjo (the 100% real one!) says Izevbekhai never gave birth to a daughter called Elizabeth. So who is telling lies?
Did RTE lie or where they lied to? Did they check their sources before airing the evidance? Is Izevbekhai lying? Is the Nigerian state lying, as seems to be implied by RTE?
The last charge is the most serious. Are RTE claiming the Nigerian state is complicit or directing an operation to cover up the birth and death of a child? That is a serious charge to make. If proved false, heads in RTE must roll. It is unacceptable for anyone in the state broadcaster to make such inferances that seem aimed at exhonerating their own lack of professional oversight and procedure.
So you dont have a problem with Barack Obama sending every illegal irish person back here becuase they have outstayed their visa, falsified documents??
USA have taken immigrants for years and years in particular our forefathers a lot of them have even been on the run, made good and reinvested back in Ireland.
A lot of irish women had babies in the USA to keep their status, they god handouts from Irish Catholic Charities all funded by USA governments.
Australia was the same. So in effect what you are saying make sure we all just stay in our own country, no investment from multi-nationals? Lets be self sufficient and dont harbour illegals even if they have great hardship and in a lot of cases similar to our forefathers?? That really is taking the proverbial pee
Its not a question of party politics, it is a question about realising we were also in the same boat for years and still are in USA, it is no different. There is a huge outcry on Radio when irish illegals are shackled and deported. Each political party talk out in defence about inhuman treatment ofthe illegal irish. The lobby congress for change to the visa laws.People do a lot of things to survive to make a decent life for themselves..We should be more humble of a country instead we sit in judgement. No one said a word when multi-nationals invested money here, we took the hand of them and got good jobs for this country in return
"The Egyptians could run to Egypt, the Syrians into Syria. The only place we could run was into the sea, and before we did that we might as well fight.” -Golda Meir
Once again, there are no implications whatever if the Minister allows this family to stay on humanitarian grounds, repeat none whatever. If that is the grounds for you calling for the deportation than any fears you may have are groundless and you can now change your opinion.
