I don't think so, at least not in the UK. It would be very difficult for you to hold a white-collar, tax-paying job without legal status. If busted, the company will be in big trouble.
Menial jobs, I don't know what you mean. Apart from common labourer work (I know people who use Chinese migrants in construction), everything else is well-regulated.

The educational system is better than what is obtained in Nigeria. The point people are making here is that UK is not the place one goes to settle. They have ok schools and relics that attracts tourist but as far as settling down in that country, it's a NO NO. Btw, i would never even consider schooling in the UK because i rate the American, Canadian and Irish education higher. UK as a country has become redundant.

justwise:

You seems to be the only person with this narrow view,the UK embassies around the world still experience long queue of people seeking for visa, so which planet are you living on?

horlabiyi: What's Special In The UK ?

Afam4eva:
There are also millions of Nigerians in Cameroon, does that mean Cameroon is a bed of roses? People will always go to places they think will change their lives for the better. But whether their lives will change for the better is another kettle of fish. If the UK is a country of opportunities like you would want us to believe then tell us why a lot of NIgerians even the ones with relatively high paying jobs keeps moving back to Nigeria. The UK and the British empire is history. The whole world have moved on the the British are still holding on to the past because there's nothing else to hold on to. The empire is as redundant as they come.

you seriosly need to read more books,when was the last time the british Empire rule the UK?DAMN you are 50 yrs behind

You really need to travel a bit, you are still living in 1908. You don't sound like somebody who know jack about the UK

Afam4eva:
You can dispute my claim instead of coming up with this whole "You really need to travel". You've still not answered my question. Why are Nigerians in the UK coming back in their drives if the UK is as sweet as you'd want us to believe.

AjanleKoko:

Well, Afam . . . the truth is, it's easier for them to come back to Nigeria, than for you to up and migrate to the UK.

This is will qualify as my joke for the day Grand delusions!

Is this also why you think Wimbledon is not prestigious as grand slam?!

Afam4eva:
Pls be lucid.

Afam4eva:
The UK has been left behind by the world. There's very little to celebrate in that country.

Afam4eva:
Gbam...Most people i know are only going there to school after which they remove their shoes and take off. It even makes better sense living in a lot of African countries than the UK. The UK is dead.

AjanleKoko:

I'm sure you can't be that dim. Haba, I am sure you understand what I mean.
Which one is easier to do for a Nigerian? Return to Nigeria from the UK, or relocate from Nigeria to the UK?

justwise:

Its profitable but risky to employ illegal immigrants because the company will pay them below minimum wage and avoid paying NI to the govt.

naijababe:

Have you ever been to the UK?

naijababe:

Have you ever been to the UK?

50calibre:

Mr Afam don't you think this your constant and relentless criticism of the UK is becoming a little childish?

Although I do agree with a few things you've said about the UK, most of the others are gibberish and you know it. I myself can point out loads of things I feel is wrong with the UK, but it gets to a point where criticism transcends into hate and malice.

I've told you before to say what your (very obvious) grievances are with the UK, but you won't. Say what your problem is and you never know who might be of help.

justwise:

Yes but without their passports you can't deport them, many destroy or hide their passports away from the house, getting TC from embassies is not easy as many embassies are not in a hurry to corporate with UKBA

Lol true. They end up running most times

Afam4eva:
Read my post again. This time s-l-o-w-l-y.

erico2k2:
I just did and let me add,you are talking about Empre, does the queen still rule the UK? aint the Uk in Democracy?like someone rightly said here, Im struggling to understand you man like seriously

Afam4eva:
So, you live in the UK too? Were you not the one that was calling for the head of the queen in another thread? I really don't understand where you stand. It's either you're in or you're out. There's no in-between.

50calibre:

Yes I did call for the abolition of the monarchy because to me it represents an imperial past I don't like, there is nothing like totally in or totally out, this is not a two sides coin.

But at the end of the day, I keep it real and honest and to be frank with you, some of the comments I've seen you make here are as ludicrous and delusional as a person can get, if you are truly in your heart of heart comparing Nigeria to the UK, then you need mental examination. I saw your comments about education in the UK and I laughed.

The UK ( even at this low point ) is at a stage Nigeria will never reach or reach in 300 years time

otswag: I wonder why nigerians still dey rush go suffer 4 dis poverty stricken tax masters who obviously don't want you around. Iya buruku le ko maa lo je nibe. There are far better places to immigrate to

Afam4eva:
It's Coogar and Desola that i pity the most. They won't be privileged to BT Internet again and therefore will be unable to be on Nairaland 24/7 abusing people. Gob bless them sha.
