pak: As much as I respect the opinions of people on this thread, I think there is a lot of hypocrisy going on up here.

Ever country has a right to do what it deems best for its populace. That's their first responsibility.

Come to think of it even within our own borders, in a country where we claim to practice federalism, where do you see large flocks of immigrants (now I mean people from other states) aside lagos. Every state is so sensitive about having large flocks of non indegenes in their state to the extent that some even started sacking those in the state govt employ. And can't start to talk about the number of crisis that has resulted from Indigenes vs settlers issue all over the country.

Even SA over there that does not have half as much intended immigrants from all over the world as the UK, have you not heard of riots over there that resulted from there unwillingnes to entertain more foreigners in their land ?


Am sure this is not too good news for those having the desire to immigrate to the UK but we don't have to slate them for doing what they presently think is the right step.


And by the way, the Rusell group are just talking as business man. I think a study/research should be conducted to ascertain the effect of this policies on the larger society in the long run. That should be the determinant factor.

totally like!!!!

A responsible countries of any country should be able to provide the very basic of amenities for the her citizens and not let them migrate to other countries. UK has the right to tighten their borders in this age of terrorism irrespective of loss of revenue. Russell Group is only concerned about the financial inflow without thinking about the security of lives and property in the UK.

I know...the point is the UK can and are allowed to control entry into their country, time for Nigeria and its government to put their acts together.

Thank you my brother...not all countries are so clueless and planless like Nigeria! Some countries actually have plans for their citizens!

Other countries are benefiting. Even Nigeria could benefit if the standard of education is worked on. At least foreign students from other African countries and Asia will file into the country like back in the 70s and early 80s (when Nigeria ranked 10th in the list of immigration targeted countries).

The UK economy productive sector has gradually been on the down side,they import so much from China and other stronger economies like Germany and label it made in England or wherever I am an eye witness to this.

Over the years The UK Economy realize billions of pounds from the international students,with Nigeria,China India carrying the highest figure of these and of course many other countries.

Well their major reason for immigration policies review is to check the excesses and abuse in the system,such as people overstaying,increase in population and the likes.But the fact remains that the UK economic benefit from these annual exercise in no small way out ways the cost.very soon they will realize this hard truth.

I think the British still have this colonial mentality of wanting to benefit so much from others without giving out a dime or loosing anything.

The present British government is in my opinion indirectly destroying the British economy,very very soon the adverse impact of these their policies will be so obvious.
I also believe this is an opportunity for the other countries particularly those in Asia and Africa to put their house in order.

Would I encourage prospecting students to uk ans NO

All you blaming the UK government, don't you think you should bow your head deep in shame?

Why will I go to UK when there is Canada and America? UK my foot with their useless Governement. Hisssss

I agree with u if u can live and work there after ur masters, but if u can't, den it makes no sense 2me. Dere r so many mushroom unis in jand, I kno sum1 who despite havin a UK masters degree came back 2 naija and worked with his Bsc cuz his masters wasn't recognised. If u wil still come back to work in naija, do ur masters in naija, take prof courses, learn one or 2 int'l languages and u'l be just as fine.

How does that work? The school he graduated from in the UK is not recognized or what? Only if he got it from fake college.

justwise:

He didn't get it from a fake college, he got it frm a mushroom one-buildin uni as there are so many of dem in d UK.

Serve them right!

Being in one building does not mean that their qualification is not recognized as long as the university is duly registered with the Higher education authority in the UK.

The person need to tell people where exactly he got his masters from.

ROCK-J:
That's the dangerous effect of voting in a conservative government that rolls out anti immigration laws anyhow. If our educational system was ok in Nigeria we would stay in our country and the British man will not insult us.

Who is insulting you.didn't u read the post clearly.'Foreign students en nt Nigeria students'
