Tesco fire "King"

that is a great story a king who works in tesco redicolous

So neither Tesco or the king-in-waiting could produce copies of any of the letters? What a total fail.

"Sir we sent you several letters to inform you of the length of your stay."
"Em, uhh, no you didn't...?"
"We did, we filed copies right here... oh wait, um, we totally did send them!"
"You did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"

Farce.

While not specified in the story, it would seem clear that he is an immigrant, but not an asylum seeker. Also, it's completely irrelevant to the story. Whether he went home to Nigeria for the time periods specified, or went to Donegal, Tesco didn't follow the dismissal procedures required

Perhaps he arrived on a state visit lasting 25 years, and his silver carriage and team of 6 white horses turned into a cab at the stroke of midnight after Tesco told him to feck off.

Ok, I'll bite, how is it clear that he is an immigrant. And how does that work i.e. getting immigrant status from a country like Nigeria? As far as I know, I do not think he is a doctor.

The question in a lot of people's minds and thankfully it is a question that we can now ask without fear of the usual labels: If he was in such fear for his life in Nigeria that he claimed asylum or refugee status in Ireland, how come he goes back to an area where he is well known?

What, exactly, has that got to do with this thread? His immigration status isn't the point (and obviously, he was cleared to be here if a major employer like Tesco employed him).

In its determination yesterday, the tribunal said the company's failures included not providing Mr Agbaje with a representative during the disciplinary hearing.

Tesco circumvented the law and got themselves a slap on the wrist. Whether he is a refugee or not has nothing to do with it.

I'm guessing you didn't read the second sentence of my post, where I pointed out that it has no relevance to the story? Anyway...:

You realise that there aren't special rules for "a country like Nigeria"? Getting "immigrant status" is much the same as getting it when moving here from the US. You don't have to be a doctor to move to Ireland. Or even have 3rd level education.

And why would that be the question in a lot of people's minds? It's nothing to do with the story, nowhere is it mentioned that he was in fear of his life, and nowhere does it say he sought asylum

And I'm sure that he didn't follow best work practice either.
If you jump off a high building you can expest to get hurt.
If you don't turn up for work because you decide to extend your holidays off your own bat then you can expect to lose your job. Simple.

This Procedure and Red Tape is gone way over the top. Why should Tesco (or any other employer) have to go chasing him because he does his own thing? People have to take responsibility themselves and expect to lose their job if they behave in this manner.

There is relevance but you obviously cannot see it.



I did not realize that Nigeria was part of the EU and their citizens could immigrate here legally. My mistake.
If a person wanted to move and work in Ireland from the US, a visa is required.

in order for a person from a non eu country looking to reside in ireland they must apply for a work visa these visas are normally for skilled workers
where we have a shortage of people doing that particular job.
austrialia have something similar called a skilled migration visa(were the aplicant has to prove the skills&experience they have match what the oz govt is looking for)

however a person coming from a non eu country who does not have qualifications to meet the visa application could get sponsor ship from a company even if there skill set is not regonised in order to gain a work visa through the normal channels.
this would require the company sponsoring the applicant,they would have to advertise the job in a local paper/website and prove to the dept trade&enterprise that there is no eu citizen who is eligable to work here to fill the job.
only then would they issue a work visa which costs the employer 500e a year.
and on another piont i had two nigerians working in my company who fled nigeria(due to persecution) yet every year they fecked off home for three weeks holiers(and allways took an extra week saying that they missed there flight:rolleyes:).

If he is was an asylum seeker, he shouldn't be working. Tesco have a lot more to worry about. They should be fined for employing illegal immigrants.

Personally, that would make me assume he was here legally and so wasn't claiming refugee status, so I think your question is not needed in this case.

Still, it is a stupid finding, but it wouldn't be the first from the tribunal. It's crazy they said he shared some responsibility and he still wins.

It's all this terminology that is confusing. If a person is an asylum seeker and gains refugee status, are they not then an immigrant and entitled to work? Or removing the work 'immigrant', isn't a refugee allowed to work?

I'm trying to figure out how it was clear he was an immigrant from an earlier post.

Hard to know. I don't see anything wrong with assuming he's an immigrant, perfectly reasonable from the article.

It doesn't mention he claimed asylum and knowing the Indo, it would have been mentioned. It would be the first thing that come into some peoples minds though.
