Several undocumented Nigerians and other Africans residing in the United Kingdom have been sleeping in waste bins on the streets to evade deportations.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING

In 2025, the UK government embarked on a major overhaul of immigration policy, tagged ‘Plan for Change.’

The policy sent a wave of fear among migrants as those without legal status were deported in mid-2025.

The Home Office announced that 43 asylum seekers and offenders were returned on a charter flight to Nigeria and Ghana.

“Those removed had no right to be in the UK, including 15 failed asylum seekers and 11 foreign national offenders who had served their sentences,” the Home Office said.

Additionally, the British government stated that it would continue to tighten immigration rules to reduce net migration, strengthen border control, and reshape legal immigration around skills and contributions.

Subsequently, a viral video obtained by Diaspora Tales showed an African man sleeping in a bin on a snowy street in the UK.

A European man was seen asking him to go and make use of a shelter provided by the UK government.

Reacting to the video, Nigerians in the UK who spoke to Diaspora Tales, said the fear of being caught, detained and deported had forced many illegal migrants to leave their homes and sleep on the streets.

Crimes and homelessness

Mrs Gisela Esapa, in Dunstable County, said many migrants who sleep on the streets and in bins were usually those engaging in crimes and facing homelessness.

Esapa said sleeping on the streets was not restricted to Nigerians and other migrants, adding that Brits and other Europeans in the UK also find themselves in the same situation.

She noted that some Nigerians arrived in the UK illegally and became unemployed and homeless.

The Nigerian woman said those who were mentally unstable and using drugs often turned the streets into homes.

She said, “When I was living in Luton, I saw many people, including Nigerians and Brits, who slept on the streets because they lacked documents such as a Biometric Residence Permit.

“Many migrants lived in Luton, and I saw how they behaved. Some people were afraid to even go to facilities provided by the UK government, thinking they might be arrested, detained, and deported.”

Another Nigerian in London, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said many homeless immigrants were sleeping at train stations.

The source added that illegal migrants would do anything including sleeping on the streets to avoid deportation.

‘Not all blacks are homeless’

Meanwhile, a Nigerian in Bradford, Maxwell Adeyemi, told Diaspora Tales that being homeless in the UK had nothing to do with colour or nationality.

He explained that several conditions, such as unemployment, lack of documents, and crimes, were common factors forcing people into homelessness.

“I am not aware if Nigerians are going through homelessness at the moment, but most homeless people are not even black but Asians and whites from Eastern Europe,” Adeyemi clarified.

Crimes have consequences

The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission spoke on the matter and said many Nigerians who have become homeless in the UK were only facing the consequences of their crimes.

Speaking for NIDCOM, the Director of Media, Public Relations and Protocol, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, stated that migrants would start avoiding immigration officials when they have overstayed their visas, and refused to return to Nigeria.

“They are only facing the consequences of their crimes which is usually overstaying of their visas,” Balogun said.

He added that NIDCOM was not aware of recent cases where Nigerians were sleeping on the streets in the UK.

“We only receive deportees when the governments hosting Nigerians involve us in the deportation of the illegal migrants,” he added.

Documentation attracts help

Diaspora Tales reports that the UK government is only removing migrants without legal status, which guarantees that even lawful homeless people can receive help.

Such assistance usually comes from local councils providing temporary accommodation like hostels and shelters.

“There are facilities for people who are homeless to sleep and while some provide food. But the most important thing is that those who are lawful residents in the UK always get help,” Esapa added.

“He Looks Thin Here”: Anthony Joshua’s Link-Up With Usman Nurmagomedov After Tragic Car Crash Reassures Fight Fans

Published

on

The image didn’t come with a press release or a statement, as boxer Anthony Joshua, back in the gym, smiling alongside Usman Nurmagomedov, was enough to stop fans mid-scroll and take a second look. After everything the British heavyweight has endured in recent weeks, that moment mattered.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING

Just weeks earlier, the former heavyweight champion was involved in a car crash in Nigeria that claimed the lives of two of his closest friends and team members, Sina Ghami and Latif “Latz” Ayodele. Since then, fans haven’t been asking about belts or rankings. They’ve been asking something far simpler: is AJ okay? That’s why this link-up, shared by Championship Rounds on X, struck such a nerve.

In the photos, Joshua looks relaxed and alive in the moment. PFL star Usman Nurmagomedov captioned the post with quiet admiration, writing, “The best quality in a person is simplicity. And overall, he is very big.” One image shows Nurmagomedov playfully grabbing Joshua’s leg for a single-leg takedown. Another shows them standing side by side, Usman in boxing gloves, Joshua towering next to him.

And context matters here. Joshua returned to the gym this month, posting clips to Snapchat of pad work, cardio, and light training. One phrase stood out beneath the footage, “mental strength therapy.” That framing says a lot.

For those unaware, Joshua had been on holiday in Nigeria following his December 19 win over Jake Paul in Miami when the crash occurred on December 29. Ghami, his strength and conditioning coach, and Ayodele, a trainer, were killed when their vehicle collided with a stationary truck near Lagos. Joshua sustained minor injuries, but the emotional weight was far heavier.

Promoter Eddie Hearn addressed the situation with care, telling Sky Sports, “He will need his time physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually before he makes a decision on his future. I do think he will want to return to boxing, but that will be his decision when the time is right. It is certainly not a conversation I’ll be having with him any time soon.”

That’s why the Nurmagomedov link-up resonated. It wasn’t about training for a fight. It was about being around people who understand discipline, loss, and the grind. Usman Nurmagomedov, himself part of one of combat sports’ most grounded families, didn’t sell the moment. He simply shared it, and once the image circulated, the reactions poured in.

Fans breathe a sigh of relief as Anthony Joshua meets up with Usman Nurmagomedov with a smile

One fan wrote, “Anthony Joshua is taking the loss so well. The Tyson Fury fight might still happen.” That comment reflects how quickly fans default to boxing math. Joshua vs. Tyson Fury is the white whale of British boxing. But this reaction also shows optimism creeping back in. Not pressure, just hope that one day, when the time is right, Joshua might want to chase unfinished business.

Another fan said, “He looks thin here. Hope he can heal from those losses he just took.” This wasn’t about physique critique. It was concern. Trauma changes people physically and emotionally, and Joshua’s leaner appearance sparked empathy, not judgment.

“Good to know he is fine,” another wrote. Simple, but telling. In moments like this, fans don’t need speeches. They need reassurance. Seeing Anthony Joshua upright, smiling, and moving offered that in a way no statement could.

One reaction cut through with humor, “Very big might be the understatement of the year.” It’s lighthearted, sure, but it also highlights the contrast. Even in grief, Joshua’s presence is imposing. He still looks like Anthony Joshua, the heavyweight juggernaut. That familiarity matters to fans who’ve followed him through highs and lows.

“Warms my heart to see AJ smile after what he went through,” another fan shared. That’s the emotional core of this entire moment. The smile wasn’t performative. It looked earned. And in combat sports, where toughness is often confused with silence, seeing vulnerability followed by resilience hits hard.

Finally, one fan wrote, “Good for AJ to keep himself busy. Best way to grieve honestly.” That sentiment aligns with how many fighters process loss. Routine becomes refuge. The gym becomes a place to breathe when words fail. Joshua, labeling his workouts as “mental strength therapy” reinforces that idea. So what does this all mean? Not that Anthony Joshua is back. Not even that a fight is imminent, it means he’s healing, and for now, maybe that’s enough.
