Regarding the emboldened, i am wondering, what penalty will be meted out to them eventually? Will they be jailed in UK or deported back to Nigeria

I can't imagine this is correct (that some top executive has a dedicated driver, etc. as you said). Very unlikely! I catch the train with owners of multi million $ companies here in Chicago. We all head into the city for work. Very Rich or Poor, we all catch the same train. Now some TOP executives that travel for work - That usually pop in on Monday and are out to their respective cities (Houston to Chicago for example) on Thursday evening or Friday, may have a Limo pick and drop them at the airport, but that's about it. No company here will give you a chauffer and all that stuff they do in Nigeria.

thanks a lot for the info, I'm very grateful sounds more like UCRY

I live in UK and that's d only place I ll be able to talk about. I ll discourage, discourage and discourage you even my enemy from coming to UK. I will even beg you to stay back in Nigeria cos if you come to UK at this point in time, you are doomed. Pls, don't let anyone or situation push you to go abroad-UK without papers. What you r going through in Nigeria today ll definitely be a child play compare to what your life ll look like in UK without papers.

I swear down, if you see the numbers of Nigerians in deportation centres in UK, you ll pity these people. Some Nigerians have been in deportation centres for almost two years without committing a single crime. Their only crime is being in UK illegally.

You can't go to the bank, school, work and renting a room might even give you away to immigration. If you decide to put up with a friend or family members, you r done cos they ll only tolerate you for few days before they begin to show you their true colour. Trust me, that's when you ll now realise that you don't know what you have until you lose it.

You ll only enjoy these western world with your papers in your hands. Anything outside this papers is a suicide

Nice one, bro. Living abroad sort of opens your eye to see the problems of Nigeria: selfishness! We have community leaders and political leaders without vision.. Buffoons in charge. Community roads in every state are bad. Can't the LG or state govt mandate house owners to pave with interlocking blocks on the road in front on their houses. If I build a house and pave the road in front of my house, and my neighbors do the same, we'll have good road for every one.

On FP this morning Amechi commissioning the dredging of Onitsha -Ajaokuta waterway, can't he make it a standard water way for traders to transport goods from Onitsha to the north? He could encourage the road transporters to invest in ships for the inland waterways... This would in turn creat jobs and development.

You asked for DIRECTIONS to travel ABROAD, and you're being discouraged.
My brother, is abroad in the next street that you're asking for directions?
You don't have Google Maps?
OK, I go direct you.
Carry bus enter MMIA, Ikeja.
Book any flight (minus Arik) going to Abroad.
When you enter plane, make sure you ask pilot not to fly past abroad.
Ask other passengers going to abroad for directions to the place.
When you reach abroad, you go know

cosade:


If your brother can show proof that he has a chauffeur (driver) in US, I owe you N50,000.

One thing I have been able to garner from the peeps abroad here is ghey complain that its not easy abroad but they have refused to come back home. they migrate from one country to another..but to naija? Mba!

femi4:

Your personal experience is not necessarily the general experience. So I will disagree with you strongly.

It is actually quite misleading.

claremont:
I'm guessing I'm being wicked and selfish by only supporting people who wish to migrate legally. If we go along with the OPs reasoning, a good way to show selflessness and generosity is to assist our fellow Nigerians to 'go abroad' using any legal or illegal means.
Yet, we blame politicians for being corrupt, I strongly believe that 99.9% of Nigerians are innately corrupt. Nigeria is a country were someone who chooses to do the right thing is viewed as abnormal, selfish, wicked. What is sad is that some Nigerians in the diaspora still have not shaken off the innate Nigerian mentality. This is why non-Nigerians perceive the average Nigerian as a potential fraudster, they posit that the only honest Nigerian is the one who hasn't found himself/herself in a position to steal and/or commit fraud.

lol, this is getting serious, I don't owe you proof, go have some good fun with your money, and stop bothering about a stranger.

I had to sign in after 10years to comment on this distasteful thread. First, every one has a prerogative whether to help you or not. Even if one chooses not to help because of competition, it's their right. Nevertheless, IN America people barely have time for themselves not to talk of someone else. Parents live in the same city with their children but they don't see for months because of crazy schedule.

Secondly, I came to study in America six years back, and it didn't take two weeks before reality set in and I cried. I graduated two years after and I didn't get a job. Six months being jobless, I took up a dish washer job clearing plate for my mates who graduated with me. From there, I did laborer job, building stores and from there I did Valet, with MY Masters degree in Engineering and Bachelors in Electrical Engineering ( First Class, Best Graduating Student from Nigeria). Living on tips from people. All this was to pay house rent. As old as I am, I cry steady at night. Regretting I made a wrong choice coming here. But I couldn't return home just like that so I had to persevere ND pray to God to help me.

Interestingly, I helped a student from Nigeria to squat with me beforever getting her place. In less than a week, she was smoking Marijuana and worse off brought a guy to the house and the were snagging on my bed. My landlord, was mad about the weed and kicked us both out of the house. Helping someone got me homeless, as I couldn't afford to pay rent by myself. My sister, I sleep for Library for one week and God helped me. Even after I got my papers, I couldn't get a good job until recently. Imagine, 6 years! I thank God I am Inot a better place now but I have a credit card debt of $35,000. This is largely because I fell I'll and was uninsured. Infact them don carry me go court. While about 3,000 I used it to eat. So, when i starte dgetting pajd , i have to pay off my debt else interest will stack up to twice the amoint i owed. It is not easy!

My friend paid for marriage 15,000$ , two years after she withdrew his immigration petition. Imagine after hustling, pay and the money goes d9wn the drain. The guy is.now illegal and wants to commit suicide. Na beg we dey beg am. He doesn't have a steady job, and now he can't get work permit.

Haba, this girl you are very wicked to have this type of thinking pattern. So my dear sister stop being myopic with your thinking. If you want to support the whole of Africa go ahead. However quit generalizing and creating bad blood among kinsmen.

For those who want to come, if you don't have a support system have money to sustain yourwelf and don't expect favors from any one. Itso just you, your new company of friends and your God.

I don't care how you or anybody sees it. If you feel bad or good after reading this, it's your business. Let's stop deluding ourselves with my head is different your head is... It baffles and pains me to see my fellow Nigerians walking towards a death or destiny-changing trap and i am trying to save you from falling as victim but only for you to be feel bad about my advice...

The truth is destiny has got nothing to do with this anymore. Back in the days, destiny play a role through loopholes in the immigration system but after September 9/11 terror attack against US, everything has drastically changed in US and UK.

Frankly speaking, if anybody under the sun even the British high commission says anything contrary to what about to write below, which i doubt, i ll advise you to run for your life cos it seems you are about to be swindled by 419ners.

First and foremost, atleast 98% immigration loopholes in UK are gone and gone for life. As i type this, you only have 5 options to regularise yourself and the 5 options are back-breaking journey that ll change your life for d rest of time on earth.

The options are:
1) As student-10years route
2) Marriage-10years route
3) Parents-10years route
4) Illegal immigrants-20years route
5)Tier-HSMP

These 5 routes are really tough, life-changing and back-breaking. Number 1 and 5 ll give you immigration legal status in UK if you are granted one while the remaining three are even tougher than the first favourable routes

Extra years are added to those years if you r lucky but if you are not, you are doomed.


1- Being a student gives you a legal immigration status in U.K. Or US but comes with a lot financial hurdles. Let me face UK precisely, you can only become a UK resident through this student route after spending 10years of legal immigration status in UK. Each year ll cost you around £12,000(#6.5million) as international student. Let's now multiply #6.5m by 10 years and the result is about #65million. However, UK has change their law, if you are a student, after 8years in UK, no college or university ll accept your application again. You ll need to travel back to your home country to apply again which means your first 8years in the country is gone out of the window. You are literally starting all over again.

2nd option is Marriage, I am sure that you won't start dating someone right from Heathrow in London. You ll still need to settle down for atleast 6months before getting a girlfriend who has legal immigration status which has to be either British citizen or permanent resident/indefinite leave to remain in UK. It ll take you couple of months if not years to get to know each other before bringing your immigration issue on the table cos you don't want to be seen as a desperado. With all this, you are looking at 2years to get to that comfy zone where you both can agree to put application through. After that decision, you ll need two years of being together as couple in your evidence to Home Office. If you are lucky...


Tired. I come back

You are the kind of people that fall in the hands of traffickers. You think when you hear abroad its a street paved with gold? Am sorry for you. Watch this brief "Nigerian movie" and see what is happening to our girls abroad https://www.facebook.com/nk.ibeh/videos/1340638816047138/

Do you know me, how can you say you live in Nigeria more than me?

I recently welcomed someone from the UK (a relative) who came around after over five years since he came last and he was so impressed with Naija, taking pictures every minute and sending to people there.


What he marveled at was the change in landscape and the fast pace of development in Lagos, he did things like; paid visits to tourist centers - which we've always had but I never took the time to see, and he is making plans to relocate already so what do you think you are talking about?

koboko69:

First UK is not the only country on planet earth.
Secondly i restricted my post to the united states, so trying to stereotype like its only UK people try to migrate to makes no sense.
Thirdly update ur knowledge on UK immigration policies.
Lastly;
I am not interested is your long bull crap or whatever your believe is. We know it ain't easy...we have heard it over and over again but people still make it, yes or no. Man u went tru hell doesn't mean every gaddem person have to go tru what ever hell u went tru. People go tru different types of hell to get to where they are today. Ur hell may be different from other people's hell. Restrict your preachig and rhetorics to ur family or loved ones. U are in no position to tell me what is and what is not. And oh yeah.. ori yato sori...if u don't belive that.....that is ur cup of coffee. I care less.
