Recently we carried a story on proforma uncovered in Norway.
Men and women doing the same thing and the relationship mostly ends up in battering especially when it concerns woman married to the white men.
A Norwegian woman reacted to our story by stating that there are some African men who also abuse their white women.
Kenya Stockholm Blog has been reporting on a story whereby a Kenyan woman in Sweden was allegedly murdered by her Swedish boyfriend when he discovered she was pregnant.
The same media has been following the court case in the Swedish court and it now seems their not enough evidence that can put the man in jail for what he was accused to have done.
Now in today’s Kenya Stockholm Blog, m/s Grace Wangui has come out vibrantly to advice Kenyans on how the Swedish system is very difficult to benefit from. She goes ahead to narrate how people in Kenya sell what they own just for the sake of getting a ticket to come to Sweden and seek residency.
It is interesting to note that she is telling the KSB readers that women should sign agreements with their men so that if something happens the man pays money for the woman’s upkeep endlessly. What is the motive here?
If a woman or a man comes to Europe, it is their sole responsibility to study, get a job and provide for self upkeep instead of making having secret plans to misuse the partners economy in the way suggested by her in the article posted in KSB.
In KSB story titled “Stop selling Kenyans living in the underground”, Grace Wangui is attacking her fellow Kenyans claiming that the Kenyans in Sweden report other Kenyans to the Swedish police who end up being arrested and deported.
Interestingly, she is encouraging Kenyans to live illegally in Sweden, and it seems she has an idea as to how many are underground.
The question we ask therefore, is whether Kenyans sell all they own in Kenya only to travel to Sweden and live underground illegally.
Due to her disappointment with the Kenyans, she releases her anger in Kenya Stockholm Blog and writes “I am shocked to hear that the murderer of the late Juliet Kavinga is free for lack of evidence. It’s so sad that the family back home in Kenya will never get justice for losing a loved one.The main reason why lam writing these few lines is because of the way she died. Juliet, being over seven months pregnant, could still be alive if she had the right information as to how things work here in Sweden. Many Kenyans in Sweden know the legal status of a pregnant woman and how the law operates when a guy with Permanent Residence Permit (PUT) or citizenship impregnates a woman in this country.”
She seems to be of the opinion that a woman should get pregnant quickly and bind the man for economical gains. This behaviour is exploitation in a big way.
She continues to write, “Why do people come here and go through hell hiding themselves from fellow countrymen ? There is no way the Swedish government could have deported Juliet after five months pregnancy. The Swedish law says that a woman cannot have an abortion after four months. In the circumstances, Juliet had the right to go to clinic every month because she was carrying a child whose father was a Swedish citizen.”
Reading the above argument made by her in KSB, one clearly understands the point in her mind. Like we wrote above: get a man, get pregnant quickly and have endless benefit, she seems to encourage pregnancy and advises that women should ensure that the pregnancy is over 4 months before people should know, thus to avoid deportation.
We in African Press understand her to be saying that if a woman does not have the right to live in Sweden, then they should go underground, and only pop-up when they are pregnant with a Swedish man. Thereafter they are entitled permanent residency because of the baby even if the man who is the baby’s father is not in the picture officially.
As she continues in her article she writes the following about the woman who died while pregnant, “She could have been issued with a Permanent Resident Permit because of her baby. Juliet didn’t need that guy while there was no reason for her to go underground. My question is: didn’t her so called friends enlighten her by giving her this information?”
See the logic she has when she states “Juliet did not need that guy” as she continues to argue her case, “Even if the guy didn’t want the child, probably to avoid taking responsibility which is obligatory in Sweden, she could still have made a deal with the father. For example she could have signed an agreement that the dad will be paying an amount of money monthly, quarterly or yearly directly to her thus avoiding the Försäkringskassan (State insurance) which is more strict and bureaucratic. In that way Juliet could have had both her precious baby and Residence Permit to live and work in Sweden with no further contact with the guy. This kind of advice should have come from Kenyans.”
APN considers Grace Wangui to be a person who has good intentions, but at the same time she should not mislead Kenyans the way she is doing in her article. Her article tells it all! It is like telling the world that Kenyans in Sweden are very bad people who only destroy for each other. We do not think that is the case.
We look at her situation as one that is full of desperation and anger because of what has happened to a fellow Kenyan woman as allegedly pointed out that she suffered in the hands of her boyfriend.
Grace Wangui may also be warning other women who may be murdered should they get pregnant and try to force the boyfriends to take the responsibility against their will.
In her final arguments she writes, “It is so sad that Kenyans who are “underground” fear fellow Kenyans more than the Swedish authorities. I ask: Why? All over Kenya, there are millions of people who can do anything so that they can send their children to the Western world to make some money to help them back home.
Some even take loans with the small piece of land they have to pay for the ticket and other expenses for their children to make it here. I am very disappointed that these countrymen later find themselves in the camp of “illegal immigrants” then hide from Kenyans because in the past, many of them have been sold by Kenyans to police and deported or betrayed by the same people whom they hoped could advise them.
When they are deported back home, they don’t have a life anymore while their siblings or parents also suffer from many draw-backs. Those left behind at home had looked upon this person to help them pay school fees, settle the bank loan and so forth. What happens to these families after losing the only piece of land they own to the bank because a Kenyan betrayed a fellow Kenyan?”
In her final out-pour of anger she ends her article in Kenya Stockholm Blog by asking Kenyans to change their behaviour and we quote, “ l say: Stop this behavior! You don’t have to help someone with money or a place to sleep. What this Kenyan needs might be a few kind words and right information so stop selling each other! Nobody owns Sweden. What you do to people will eventually affect you because what goes round comes around. Let us be happy that there is another Kenyan trying. Let us be happy and help one another. The worst part is the negative mentality of some people who say oh, l can’t help this person because him /her might succeed more than me!”
Kenyans living abroad may have similar problems as she has stated, yet this is not only a Kenyan problem. Many people from the African continent experience problems in getting residency outside the African.
When people are arrested and deported because of staying in a country illegally it does not necessarily mean someone has tipped the police.
Encouraging illegal residency is like encouraging crime. Most of those who hide are already committing a crime by staying illegally in the country. By asking people to advise others to continue hiding is being a partner-in-crime.
The best one can do is to guide the people in the hide to come out and work out their stay to be legal or leave the country and try the luck elsewhere instead of hiding and fearing to be picked up by police. Some get picked up because they end up in fights while drunk, only later to blame others for reporting them to the police due to their illegal status.
