African Olympic athletes disappear from London 2012

Britain Welcomes You. 
Scores of African Olympic athletes have gone on unofficial extended sightseeing tours from the London 2012 Olympic Games. It is widely believed these athletes have sought greener pastures within the UK and perhaps other parts of Europe for economic reasons, just like European migrants did when they invaded Africa centuries ago.

 Quid Pro Quo!

The Cameroon Olympic team appears to be the greatest exporter of these athletes now turn opportunist migrants. Seven to eight Cameroonian Olympic athletes are now missing. The head of Cameroon's London 2012 David Ojong confirmed of the 60 athletes attending The Games; 28  had returned home, 24 remained in The Olympic Village and the remaining others unaccounted for.

 The team of abscontees include all five members of the boxing team, and one each from the swimming and female football team. Given the tough and stringent UKBA laws on those wishing to migrate and settle in the UK, these athletes will have to use their athletic skills to box, swim and kick their way through the UK system.

 None so far have broken immigration rules as their visas are all valid until November.

 Other defected African athletes include 15year old Ethiopian torch bearer Natnael  Yemane who made a quick dash as far back as June; and three Sudanese athletes who no doubt given the turmoil that is Sudan, are all set to apply for political asylum.

    Wow, this is a bit embarrassing though, isn't it? One would think they have a better future as athletes in their country than as illegal immigrants in the UK.

    It is called "Affirmative Emigration". Cameroon's president Paul Biya onced dissappeared in europe and rumours where that he died only to later show up in Cameroon. People should not panic as these athletes would soon return home in their own time.

    That's an interesting way of looking at things Anon. The UKBA needs to add that to their never ending list of rules for migrating immigrating migrants.
