Several reactions have followed the reports that 500 Nigerians were deported by the United Kingdom on Wednesday, November 25.

While some rued the reports as embarrassing for the nation, others faulted the claims and totaled the number of deportees to be 48 as opposed to 500.

Bottom line is that some people were deported and Nigerians have a lot to say about it.

The 500 believers.
