And yet when most of them graduate they start thinking of moving overseas, thereby cheating the Nigeria who subsided their education to go service foreigners who didn't pay a dime for their education.

Note : I don't blame anybody who wishes to move abroad to seek for greener pastures, Nigeria needs to put it's house in order.

uvie66:
yes you are right, the only difference is that UK have constant light, well developed train system, clean Streets, constant running water, free broadband, minimal Kidnapping and armed robbery, very robust women and employment rights and no ballot snatching during elections.... this is however not an exhaustive list...and also majority have 2 children on the average not like some politicians who have four wives and 24 children and also we have to exchange our 450 naira for UK £1, so the recent minimum wage of 30k naira equates to about £80, So apart from all these differences listed above UK is the same as Nigeria when considering living standard.

Priti Patel - Home secretary with Indian ancestry.She is about to flood UK with "high skilled" Indian doctors and IT experts..

That's her target, if you know Indians you shouldn't be surprised with this new policy..

Calculating the point, 70 is a must


People wanting to come to the UK from outside the EU will find rules are being relaxed, such as scrapping the cap on skilled workers or the drop in minimum salary.
But for EU migrants who are used to moving freely between Britain and the continent, the new regime will be something of a shock.
Visitors can come for six months without a visa, but they won't be able to work, those with skills must have a job offer and clear the 70 points hurdle, and there'll be no work permits for migrants prepared to do menial jobs in restaurants, hotels, care homes and food processing plants.
There is some flexibility in the new structure. But the question is, will it be enough to prevent labour shortages and companies taking their business elsewhere?
Under the new plan, all migrants will only be entitled to access income-related benefits until after indefinite leave to remain is granted, usually after five years.
Currently, EU nationals in the UK can claim benefits if they are "economically active". Non-EU citizens become eligible for benefits when they are granted permanent residence, which usually requires five years of living legally in the UK.
Following recommendations from the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC), the salary threshold for skilled workers wanting to come to the UK would be lowered from £30,000 to £25,600.
The independent advisory body argued that lowering the threshold would help recruit teachers and skilled NHS staff.
Unlike the current system, applicants would also be able to trade points.
Those earning less than £25,600, but more than £20,480, could still apply for visas if they had a job in a "specific shortage occupation" or a PhD relevant to the job.
A list of shortage occupations would be kept under review by the MAC, the government said.
Jobs currently on the MAC's Shortage Occupation List include civil engineers, medical practitioners, nurses, psychologists and classical ballet dancers.
Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott said the salary threshold system would "need to have so many exemptions, for the NHS, for social care and many parts of the private sector, that it will be meaningless".
She added: "Ultimately, it will also be very difficult to attract the workers we need at all skill levels while the Tories' hostile environment is in place. It needs to go."
Proposed points system
Mandatory requirements Points
Job offer from approved sponsor 20
Job at appropriate skill level 20
English at required level 10
Points for salary Points
£20,480 – £23,039 0
£23,040 – £25,599 10
£25,600 or above 20
Additional points Points
Job in a shortage occupation 20
PhD in subject relevant to the job 10
PhD in relevant STEM subject 20
Under the new plan, there would no longer be an overall cap on the number of skilled workers who could come into the UK - one of the areas praised by the CBI.
Following recommendations from MAC, the definition of skilled workers would also be expanded to include those educated at A-level, not just at graduate level, as was previously the case.
But waiting staff roles would be removed from the list of skilled occupations, while new additions would include carpenters, plasterers and childminders.
To study in the UK, overseas students would need the offer of a place at an educational institution, have to know English, and be able to show they can support themselves.
Changes to the system would be implemented through an immigration bill needing approval from MPs and peers to come into force.
Shadow immigration minister Bell Ribeiro-Addy told the BBC's Newsnight: "I feel like people have been duped a bit. We were told this was an Australian style points-based system.
"The Australian system is meant to encourage migration across sectors. I know that they don't want to do that, but why are you calling it one thing when it's another?"
Liberal Democrat home affairs spokeswoman Christine Jardine said the proposals were based on "xenophobia".

Rebecca May, really messed up UK economy by locking Africans out of the country. UK economy in 2019 ended up flat @ 0%

Even this policy is still seriously flawed. Low income earners from Africa remain the oil needed to help UK economy recovery.

winterfell007:


The bolded is what I'm really against. The UK is really turning out to be a very crafty nation. They want the best both want to pay less for it. Ndi wayo!!!!

Note : I don't blame anybody who wishes to move abroad to seek for greener pastures, Nigeria needs to put it's house in order.

frosbel2:
My people let us DEVELOP Nigeria.

Enticing our best brains to develop their own countries while Nigeria continues to be a shit hole is what we call MODERN SLAVERY.

God help us activate our BRAINS and get a freaking VISION !!!

It's not everyone who traveled abroad that had it in their initial plan. I know a graduate that worked for a Lebanese oil and gas servicing company for a salary of 35k naira. Meanwhile the company rakes in over 500mil every month after all expenses. He couldn't even rent a house so he had to just ja paa for greener pastures.

Bro pls advice. I am a Pharmacist and my wife just gained admission to a Scotland University for her masters and would be going with her as a dependent spouse. Does this new policy affects it? What advice can you give me because we have a yr old baby. Can UK be trusted?Though I have made up my mind to try EU countries if staying in UK won't be favourable.quote author=SocialFinance post=8671174]Calculating the point, 70 is a must

Obiaksnews:
I am not disputing that with you, that's why i said Nigeria needs to fix up, i am only highlighting the damage being down to Nigeria when our best brains keep going abroad. I did a lil research a while ago and this is what i found. It takes up to $150,000 to $200,000 to train a medical doctor in USA, now convert that to naira you would know how much that is and then compare how much is used to train a doctor here in Nigeria, you would discover that the Nigerian govt does a lot to subsidize the fees of Nigerian students who attend public universities. In my 200L in uniben back in 2011 i paid N8000 as school fees.

SocialFinance:
The 20,000 visa allocated to young ppl have been largely unused by Nigeria youths especially the undergraduates.

This is another to prepare yourself for easy migration to UK after graduation.

I hope our youth will start using this opportunity. if you require further information about this, just quote me and ask, I will try to answer.

It's à 2yr program. She can't study without going with our baby. If I get it what are my chances[qquote author=1StopRudeness post=86807206]

Have they given you the dependent visa?? First try and get that visa first...uk Dey craze oooo..

they know how to deny dependent visa especially for one year masters.. they know U guys won’t likely come back.....

1StopRudeness:


Meaning you guys have approximately 4years i.e with the new 2years extra after grad....as a Pharamacist u might have a chance. U need to really work extra since u won’t be restricted like ur wife to 20hrs per week work duration.
Use the extra money to get some health professional course that my grant u access to their health jobs...when U get there ask those in the field what short course is selling....with some luck and favour... u’ll get settled...
