see the penking guy that made the tweet. Take a second look at that tweet and tell me if this penking gangan himself is given a microphone he will not say even worse. Just look at the choice of words he used, and tell me that he sef no be weree pass Tiamiyu sef. It is well.

Honestly, I see what you mean. We get issues....

Treadway:
as in.

Naija is shitty no doubt. Intact hate your country, no problem. Even me sef, I hate the country as it is, but at least package yourself as better person, not a numbskull and cavemen that has not seen chandelier before.

Then these YouTube bloggers contribute too. How I landed in Canada, how to make semo in UK

Treadway:
Most of you are still not seeing the real issue and fixing culpability where culpability is. This guy is just one idiot out of many. Don't we have many here on nairaland telling you to sell a kidney or even your mother just to japa cos it is worth it. When we talked about the mindless herd mentality it was called 'hating'. The idiot voiced his real motivation and the motivation of most people using the study route to a white man. Cos that is where his freaking mind and psyche is..that is what his so called content is. As a man thinks, so he is. Give the mic to several guys here, sooo many monikers come to mind, and aswear they will blab worse. That is the problem. The fascination they have with these countries has made most cuckoo and not think clearly.

Like someone pointed out, his interview had nothing to do with the plans to curtail dependents, that was already in the pipeline for over a year. But be rest assured it will have something to do with further measures that will come in....and I dare say some of those measures will be with specific recourse to Nigerian applicants. Just wait and see.

Travel and just be a normal human being....iro o. They go dey do like caveman wey never see electricity before and lose their good senses. The interview was not intended to block others, it was just a glaring display of his shameful and bleeped up state of mind. Shameful, shameful. The Indians wey get all manner of crazy diseases, and give birth to all manner of abominations, they don't talk or think so lowly of themselves as a people. I can't even picture an Indian (as poor as India is) talking that way. That is the difference in mindset on display. Shioor!

I cannot help but agree with you. Even though quite harsh, your points are clear. It's really sad

Although this is true sometimes its not the case for majority. The Nigerians in the USA and Canada usually help fellow Nigerians with job info, referrals and other help.

There are also some people who have helped others that got burnt too. There are cases of people helping others to get jobs in a company and the person tried to get them sacked or stabbed them at the back. There are people who housed new immigrants and the person used their address for yahoo( receiving stolen good or credit cards). I know one personally where a guy housed someone, 3 months later baba still never get job. The host was like you may have to start with hustle job which the guy considered an insult. Host was like I started with those jobs . So you want to be consuming by electricity, gas, water etc while refusing to work. Some of these so called people we are tagging wicked people are simply reacting to past experiences o.

Thank you Oga Ednut. I know there are good Nigerians abroad who are ever willing to help. The time and information you avail others on the Canadian EE thread is an attestation to this fact. However, your response also buttresses part of what I said. Why will you help a Nigerian abroad and the only way they deem it fit to repay you is by engaging in acts that will put you in trouble? Isn't that part of the pull-him-down-syndrome I am talking about?

nony43:
You see all these Indians, Paki and Bangladesh when they see an open door they will drag their brothers along. Most of them are here in the UK and not through student route. But some Nigerians will shut the door so his brother won’t cross. Instead he prefers to give him stipends and pepper them with pictures from afar.

Well said......please add your contribution to my latest topic. Thanks

Reinaldo:
All these agbado people sef. They never want anything good

Funny enough, dude is an Obidient

There are too many testimonies on twitter and Instagram that I cannot screenshot.

Many Nigerians were taken aback with the recent BBC interview in which Tiamiyu, a Nigerian migrant in the UK threw his countrymen under the bus by asserting that many of them who migrate to UK through study route only do so for "japa" and not because they really want to study. He further went on to say a lot of Nigerians lie on their CVs.

Suffice to say that in many developed countries of the world today, the Chinese and Indians usually top the list of migrants, yet you will never find them saying anything negative about their people or country. Instead, they set up businesses and even encourage more of their citizens to migrate for greener pastures.

Quite alright, the UK government may have made the decision to stop dependents on study visa before the interview with Tiamiyu was done, however, why will you allow yourself to be used to publicly validate or justify their decision in exchange for a short term fame/publicity. BBC couldn't find Indians, Chinese or Pakistanis who have more migrant population in the UK for an interview? You can be diplomatic enough in an interview without portraying your countrymen in a bad light. Now, despite the fact that many nationals are involved in this act, most news headline reads "Nigerians face ban......".

That said, I have noticed in several circles that whenever a lot of Nigerians benefit from something, they tend to want to destroy the ladder and prevent other people from benefitting. Is this a Nigerian thing or an African mentality?

Recently, I saw an argument on the Canadian Express Entry thread here on Nairaland where some Nigerian immigrants who are already permanent residents in Canada were advocating for the Canadian government to halt the same immigration programmes they benefitted from. According to them, the housing crisis is getting worse due to the influx of migrants. As though they know better than the Canadian government who decided to invite immigrants in thousands.

The million dollar question therefore is, if the first set of people who migrated had the same mindset, how many of these selfish narcissistic Nigerians, many of whom migrated as late as 2021 and 2022 would have had the opportunity of seeking greener pastures abroad?

A lot of Nigerians in diaspora are attesting to the fact that a lot of Nigerians do not like to offer help to fellow citizens abroad, instead other foreigners are prone to be nicer to new Nigerian immigrants.

Personally, I am not surprised. Domestically, we display these traits. Even within nuclear family circles, one person will succeed in a business or migration but will refuse to offer any help to his/her siblings to follow same ladder to success.

You will find them across various social media platforms telling you about how life abroad is hard and discouraging others from testing the waters, but they have refused to come back home and leave the so-called hardship over there. Lol

Please share your opinions. Thanks!

REASON WHY I DONT MINGLE WITH NIGERIANS WHENEVER I TRAVEL OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY

BE CAREFUL OF NIGERIANS, THEY CAN SELL YOU OUT TO AUTHORITIES THEN YOU GET DEPORTD.

AVOID MINGLING WITH NIGERIANS ABROAD!!!!

very true

JaredH:
dont mid those foolish nigerians.. how will one man speech make uk govt to ban nigerians when they already know before and have been planning on reducing immigrants in their country

https://saharareporters.com/2022/11/25/uk-prime-minister-rishi-sunak-plans-crackdown-foreign-students-reduce-immigration

https://www.thecable.ng/report-uk-mulls-new-policy-to-reduce-post-study-visa-stay-from-two-years-to-six-months

No one is disputing the fact that the policy was in the pipeline long before the interview. However, the argument is that there are more Indians in UK but you will never see them throwing themselves under the bus for a cheap media publicity. Have you seen most news headlines? Even though many countries are guilty of this same act, the media is making it look like Nigeria is the main culprit because a foolish loose-mouthed, attention seeking Nigerian immigrant decided to portray his people in bad light.

I mean, go and watch the full video. Even if you were going to grant an interview, you can be diplomatic enough to say "you are aware a lot of nationalities are using education as a route to migrate with their families", not using statements like "Nigerians are not actually coming to study", "A lot of people I know lied on their CVs", etc. That was totally unnecessary.

What statistics did he use to make such frivolous assertions? People migrate for many reasons and there are still a large percentage of Nigerians who migrate to UK for educational purposes only without intending to stay back there after their programmes.

PS: Stop calling Nigerians foolish.

LeoDeKing:
Are these not the same people saying Joe Biden did not recognise Tinubu as Nigeria president?

So the problem now is about the portfolio of the minister who he sent to lead US delegates to Tinubu swearing in ceremony?

So who do you want him to send? Should he go and wake George Washington from his grave to lead the delegation?

Even if Joe Biden is to attend the ceremony himself, you will complain about how his left leg is not synchronising with his right hand.

This cracked me up. Those guys are demented

Aswear the way most Nigerians shoot out made-up facts and claims is alarming.

Thank God he isn't part of those who would even go further to argue and insult you.
He calmly accepted his mistake.

Finally , I've been saying they should been doing this. Nigerian agencies should learn to be more efficient.

I remember you've mentioned this. I had a meeting with the PMG earlier this year and discussed this with him. Good to know that it's yielding some results. We will get there.

Guyman01:
Not necessary, he has played his part and thats it.
Police should be applauding that Policeman for having the temerity not to retaliate, if not Police would not have been using the incident to shine as they arr doing now

Once there is no witness, there is no case in court. Na why

Why blaming the loan givers instead of the debtor's for not replying their debt


Women can be dramatic and dangerous in manipulating men

During the cnaira change era, a man was angry that a female bank cashier refused to accept a 1000 naira note he brought to deposit in his account claiming it was bad.
He took bank transfer forms to fill and transfer all his money in his accounts out of that bank to another different bank.
The female manager came and was pleading along with his account officer. When he refused, she held him and put her body on him to stop and deter him from filling the transfer forms.
If he had pushed her now. It would now be a case of gender violence meanwhile it was clear feminine manipulation to achieve an aim
If it was a male bank.official that put his body on a female customer to stop her from withdrawing her money, it would have been an outcry of molestation, harassment and wahala
Don't take loans You cannot repay and then start throwing emotional.tantrums

Loan shark recovery officer don drop quote. Ode!

doggedfighter:
No matter how badly you need a job, do yourself a favour choose where you work.


Some of these organisations that will make you do silly and unreasonable things just to remain their staff. Run away from such !

Example are all these loan sharks that make their staff write all manner of rubbish in a bid to recover debt.

When they put you in trouble , they will deny you.

Bank staff come to work and face their duties in their various departments not debt drive.

No mainstream commercial bank will use this barbaric method for debt recovery.

So these aren't bankers.

Microfinance bank work is like working in a filling station and claim working in an oil company.

I pity these four especially the pregnant woman.

In a bid to put food on their table , their work place has made killers out of them.

Apt. Well said

Ok. But a lawyer, Doctor, Pilot etc are known by their Attire

Not exactly, but by what they do. A lawyer doesn't need a cloak and wig to be a lawyer, he only needs it in adherence to court rules, a doctor doesn't need to wear a stethoscope on his neck to be a doctor, he only needs in the ward/theatre, pilots can fly planes without their uniforms, they only need it to obey company policy etc .....

By the Appearance/Attire!

Never judge a book by its cover, they say.....
