17 y/o Star High School Basketball Center ends up being a 30 y/o African refugee

Nicola, at six-foot-nine and 202 pounds with a shoe size of 16, had been attending Catholic Central as a 17-year-old Grade 11 student. He was also a star on the Catholic Central Comets senior boys’ basketball team.
He was even living with Comets head coach Pete Cusumano through a program called Canada Homestay, which finds homes for foreign students.
But back in January, Cusumano told the Star in an interview for a feature story that Nicola was so good for a young ballplayer that he had a shot at going to the NBA.
The group Windsor Hoops, which calls itself a “local basketball resource promoting news, players and results from Windsor,” even posted a “prospect video” that shows Nicola shooting hoops and running drills in the school gym.
Nicola told the Star in the January feature story that he arrived in Windsor on Nov. 22, 2015, just three days before his 17th birthday. He said he left South Sudan, his disease-ridden, wartorn home, for a better life in Windsor.
quote:
The Canada Border Services Agency said Wednesday officers arrested Nicola for allegedly contravening the Immigration Refugee Protection Act. He is being detained under the authority of that act. The agency didn’t elaborate on what Nicola, who is in Canada on a student visa, is accused of doing.

I wonder what other rights that a normal seventeen year-old Canadian enjoys was the thirty year-old availing himself of?
Think poontang.

He should just say he indentifies as a 17 yo and he will be fine.

soccerfoot nudges out a couple of our top idiots on this board for the try-hard award... Dude tries to assemble some off the wall comment, with an accompanying off the wall picture in nearly every thread started here.

He could have just said something like, "I wonder if the 32 yo African fellow is stealing 17 yo Sally from 18 yo Trevor," right?

How did they not know that he is a grown arse man?

Can he go straight to the NBA or does he still have to go play at a college for a year since he went back to high school?

This is actually pretty common for African refugees and migrants. In many African countries they don't have birth certificates. They have 30 year olds playing in the U20 World Cup and other world sports tournaments. A lot of people think Freddy Adu is really like 35 right now.
