If you have missed it, READ IT HERE. The latest on his case is that Oyewole has pleaded guilty to using fake id. He confessed he entered US as a student in 1989 but refused to leave the country when his student visa expired. He further admitted he used the Id of a dead man, Jerry Thomas which he purchased from a Nigerian taxi driver. He claimed the dead man sold his IDs to the cab driver who in turn sold them to Mr Oyewole.

The man was only struggling to survive. He is not a criminal. Afterall, in the 20yrs he lived in the USA,he didnt commit a crime. If his offence was that bad, he would hv been jailed. Taiwo idowu NY | 9/11/2012 9:37:44 AM |
So you think identity fraud is not a crime?.Well maybe in Nigeria due to the corruption(cancer)that have eaten into the bone of every government officials.You think like a typical Nigerian.Anyway,keep your thinking to yourself in naija because if you go to another country,you will find out that kacki is not leather.This man is lucky he was not jail only being sent back home.He is a disgrace to all Nigerians home and abroad.Not only he is a criminal,he is also dumb because he did not bother to change his status and be legal after 20yrs in the US.So stop condoning bad behavior because our country name is at stake.A good name and being poor is better than a bad name and beiing rich.Remember the son of who you are. lolo | 9/11/2012 11:05:32 AM |

The only positive thing i got from what u said is that the man is dumb by not being able to change his status even after a decade. MEE | 9/11/2012 10:02:46 AM |
What this dude has done, in MEE's opinion, is a great offence and must be punished for it. Though MEE understand that in overseas, as an undocumented alien, it's really very tough and difficult to survive. Yet there are other "legal" solutions for this situation which this dude overlooked out of negligence! Few years to the purchase of another man's identity without being cought, this dude could have arranged for, and enter into marriage with one of the American citizen girls, white, black, spanish, and what have you so as to use that to legalised his stay and ultimately his papers and got documented. But he relaxed and neglected this option, forgeting that America is a country where the events that happened 50years ago could be fished out within a second. Besides what he did is a serious criminal offence under the USA law. So whatever the verdict is for him, let him face it though he has never been found of any physical criminal activities in his 20years of bearing another person's identity. It's so sad and unfortunate, anyway. Trust MEE, this is an alart and great lesson for others residing oversea who are still in this man's status. Wake up guys!!! lolo | 9/11/2012 11:06:34 AM |

John | 9/11/2012 9:11:36 AMThe guy didn't hurt anyone. He was very hard working and did very well for someone with no papers. He should be allowed to stay in the US. He is better than a lot of the free loaders and criminals that come to America. The only funny piece to this is that "he claimed the dead man sold his IDs to the cab driver who in turn sold them to Mr Oyewole." That is hilarious!! Talk about dead man walking!! Reply this thread

I think the dead man sold it when he was alive... Taiwo idowu NY | 9/11/2012 9:49:00 AM |
For what john and why?.I think you guys think this is a joke or some comedy.This man is an illegal alien and does not have documentation and should be left alone?.He commited an identity fraud,and illegal.Deporting him back to his country is the best thing that ever happen to him.If he is allow to stay,he will never be able to get a job and make a decent living in the US due to his criminal record.In other word,he is finished right here in the US.He should go home and start afresh.What is tolerated in that corrupt country,is not and won' be tolerated elsewhere.Got it?.I hop[e so.One more thing,Nigeria does not have law against criminal activities .If they do,it is not enforce.So what that tells you?.Go figure.
IKECHI | 9/11/2012 9:26:12 AMam from Igbo land, This man has done noting wrong, because any body can be in that situation, if you have not travel abroad before you will not understand this issue.This is the only way out sometime especially in the USA. The most important thing is that, the man is working and paying tax to government, he has never committed any crime in the country. The judge should pardon him and grant him leave to remain in the country. Reply this thread
Madjack | 9/11/2012 9:47:20 AMA crime is a crime, no matter how its comitted. Pls Mr IKECHI, do not misunderstand the issue, why didn´t this Man fight 4 his stay since he gained entrance in USA. Imagine for 20years, tell the security men in charge, then they will tell you more abt him. No one should pity him, cos there´s millions of immigrants in USA without stay for over 50yrs and nothing happened to then. so brethren, he is a criminal by law. Call a spade a spade .

Akata | 9/11/2012 10:36:32 AMThe man is not a criminal he was just trying to make his "American Dream" I pray that they realese him to his family... May the God that I serve keep watch over you. Reply this thread
Hallo | 9/11/2012 10:37:22 AMI don't think people who are passionate with this guy are supporting the identity theft, circumstances I believed made him took that channel. Please forgive him and pray for him. He is a family man with good hearth. Don't think that I know him. Reply this thread
Omo Oba | 9/11/2012 12:36:23 PMWhat was he thinking? He thinks he is in Nigeria; where you can be as brazen and go scot free. Men! This is America. You can be under surveillance for 20 or more years, so that facts can be established to nail you. The security agents in America are very effective, and painstaking. They are never in a hurry, but they perform with precision. Man if you are only deported, you are lucky and also because you pleaded guilty. To make matter worse, he was working with a security firm. Men! You are super dumb. Don't mess with America; ask Osama Bin Laden. Let me tell you Boko Haram will not last one week in America. Reply this thread

Omo Oba | 9/11/2012 3:01:19 PM |
Haba, why are you trivializing a crime. It is a crime in America to use another person identity. They call it identity theft and it is punishable under the law. The fact that people do it does not mean it is legal. That is why you hear illegal and legal immigrant. It is better to tell the truth here so that our people can be enlightened. We should do everything possible to aid Nigerians travelling abroad and enlighten them. Most of them are not criminally minded but out of ignorance they become culprits. Remember ignorance is not an excuse under the law. Taiwo idowu NY | 9/11/2012 6:17:07 PM |
As you can see we both agree on this topic 100%.People should think twice before commiting any crime overseas.When they leave that Murtala muhammed Airport to travel abroad,they should dig the ground and bury their criminal activities or else they have a surprise waiting for them.I hope this will be a lesson for anyone who is commiting or trying to commit a crime in USA.Like you said they will be fished out and be brought to justice.You told Haba and i did the same.A word is enough for the wise.Take care.
Helen A. | 9/12/2012 3:23:05 AMAm sure he will be allowed to continue his life in the US. Please note that the use of another person's Identity Card for working in the Western world is not uncommon. In fact, they know that it's being done, but they are not 'really perturbed' as far as you pay your tax as you work with it. Many Africans working in the UK for example, that don't come home are into it. Reply this thread

The truth | 11/10/2012 5:18:33 PMThe US government can decide to leave him and give him green card in his own name. Why? He has resided in the US without any infraction. The government is aware of ppl using diff name to work and one of the so called personification statue is that you can choose to use any name you want as long as you are not defrauding the government. This man built a reputable background for himself and even his employer credit him for this. As you can see/ read, he was given access to virtually every area of the airport, why? Because he has earned the reputation of honor. Regarding the question of why not change his status? He could not because to work in security your Fingerprint is already in the database and he will have a lot of explaining to do to homeland security. It would have been a worse case than this. It has been done before where ones character has been used as a factor in deportation hearing. He might be granted a stay. Reply this thread
