Call for Nigerian diaspora community to demand Nigeria withdraw co-operation with these racist, unjust mass deportations.
What you can do:
1. Call, email, Facebook & tweet at the Nigeria High Commission…
Make the point about how Commonwealth citizens of the Windrush Generation have been treated, how many were deported on charter flights? How many Nigerian Students were part of the 50,000 expelled by Theresa May? How many mothers, fathers, grandmothers have been deported on charter flights? How often Britain is returning people whove lived their whole lives since childhood in the UK. It has to stop. Read this petition and statement by Nigerian women in Yarlswood in 2015 who successfully resisted the November charter flight ‘Nigeria Where Is Your Backbone?’
