RHOA Star Porsha Williams’ Ex-husband Simon Guobadia Deported to Nigeria: “He Fit Join APC Tomorrow”

• The ex-husband of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams, Simon Guobadia, has reportedly been deported to Nigeria
• Legit.ng had reported in February 2025, that Simon was detained by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
• However, after many months in detention, the Nigerian businessman has reportedly been deported back to Africa

American reality star Porsha Williams’s ex-husband, Simon Guobadia, has been deported to Nigeria, according to reports from Us Weekly.

It was gathered that Guobadia’s close friend and associate, Tai Savet, confirmed the news of Guobadia’s return to his home country a few days ago after spending many months in detention.

Recall that in February 2025, Simon Guobadia was arrested and detained by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) amid President Donald Trump’s mass deportation exercise in America. Guobadia was held at the Stewart Detention Centre in Lumpkin, Georgia.

According to Guobadia’s business partner, Tai Savet, the Nigerian-born businessman was in high spirits during his deportation after his tough experience while in detention, which he claimed to be his first time behind bars.

Savet added that despite his deportation, Guobadia was not mad at President Donald Trump and was even open to having a sit-down with him.

Simon Guobadia reportedly went from Nigeria to America in 1982 and was declared deportable in 1985 after allegedly overstaying his visa. Atlanta’s WSB TV2 reported that Guobadia went back to America in 1986 and once again overstayed his work visa.

In 1987, Guobadia pleaded guilty to bank and credit card fraud. He was also reportedly arrested two more times before his deportation back to Nigeria in 1992. However, he returned to America a month later.
