Vickie Robert Hospitality for Celebrities (UK & Ireland)

VickieRobertHospitality4Celebrities

The sad news of the death of Papa Wemba is a wake up call for artists and their managers to see reason why promoters and event organisers need the services of healthcare service providers for artists while on engagement for their events to avoid preventable fatalities as this. Most artists due to their busy schedules are known not to be paying enough attention to their health and listening to their bodies which may have been under pressure and stretched to breaking point without them knowing it. Artiste managers need to insist that the services of a trained health personnel who specialises in handling celebrities is factored into their performance contract to ensure that artists are well monitored and looked after when on professional engagement anywhere in the world. That way, risks such as this will be detected early enough and efforts made to seek help before it is too late. In the past, The King of soul music James Brown died while on a series of shows lined up for him. The same thing happened to the King of pop Michael Jackson who died while also under pressure from preparations for his mother of all shows 'This is it'. We are yet to recover from the shocking news of the demise of the purple rain crooner Prince earlier this week and now it is our own dear Papa Wemba. This is the reason we must all see the need to engage the services of professionals like Vickie Roberts Hospitality services who had been a veteran advocate for our artistes to be given good health care checks and having standby health personnel when they are on duty call anywhere in the world. Like John the Baptist, she has been lending her voice to this call and this might just be one more last call for us to save the lives of our stars by doing the right thing as a stitch in time saves nine. May the soul of Papa Wemba rest in perfect peace.

Migration of Nigerians to Ireland

Small number of Nigerians migrated to Ireland since 1960 after Nigerian Independence and mainly business people especially in mackerel fish industry which is very popular in Nigeria. As well as medical students who came to Ireland (from Nigeria and UK) to study became more noticeable after 1981.

Mass migration of Nigerian to Ireland began around 1996 during the Ireland economic boom and labor shortage in which some Nigerian workers were recruited from overseas by Irish companies as well as the high court ruling prohibited deportation of parents of Irish-born children. Nigerian population in Ireland reached 16,300 in 2006, some are business men or women, student, some are foreign workers while the rest are either economic migrant or asylum seekers.

By 2007, Ireland had the third highest migration rate across the 27 EU Member States surpassed only by Spain and Cyprus. The total number of persons seeking asylum in Ireland increased dramatically from only 362 in 1994 to a peak of 11,634 in 2002, before falling off in 2003 and down to approximately 3,900 in 2008. Most asylum seekers have come from Nigeria and Romania (now EU member state since 2007)
by 2009, number of Nigerian asylum seekers fell sharply and today there were more Nigerian emigrating than immigrating to Ireland however, Nigerians was still the largest non-EU of new Irish citizens in 2013 followed by India and on the EU side was Romania.
