When I came back from Canada for a visit in 1997 I travelled overland from London by bus, we landed in Dublin port and a black woman (heavily pregnant) was taken off by Gardai, it was the first time in more than 40 times arriving in Ireland this way that I'd seen such action. However (I'd been away some time) coming home I found out that our country was beginning it's boom and that the new "thing" was illegal immigration, or to be pc "asylum seekers". It spiralled to ridiculous heights since and now in Dublin (according to official gardai reports) a large part of the counterfeiting, heroin trade, cheque/credit card scamming and human trafficking is neatly cared for by Nigerian gangs.
Neighbouring Africans are always quick to point out that they are not Nigerian, and from experience in London, certain parts (Wanstead Flats being one) are ruled by Nigerian gangs that operate continent(s) wide. Here in Russia they are notorious and began large scale sex trafficking back in the early 90's and are running major scams via Turkey and Bulgaria with local criminal assistance. Last year, no, sorry, 2004, two Nigerian men were arrested in Zadar Airport while in possession of dozens of fake passports and were deported to Nigeria, only to turn up in Rome to be arrested in connection with false imprisonment and people smuggling.
Not all Nigerians are of this colour and it's not racist to point out such facts, despite our pc controls.

Some of the most recent off-topic posts have been removed, especially so the thread doesn't spiral into some nonsensical argument.
Please stick to topic. Thanks.
