Those ones who pack themselves in houses are illegal immigrants.

We are talking about those Nigerians who are abusing the student visa route by packing their whole families to the UK. It is putting a strain on housing and schools. Please stick to the topic.

Shebi you say they are abusing the system, How do people abuse a system by bringing in their families legally? Are Nigerians alone bringing a strain on housing and schools. The Syrians, Ukraine who came in with huge families nko. Na only Nigerians waka come?

I keep wondering too. The morals of the story is to stay in Nigeria and don’t further your Education.

But the UK government should build more infrastructure with the billions of funds realised from the visa applications and HS fees...

Moreover, those on benefits are majorly non Nigerians

Exactly

If they came in on work visas, then they both parents can work unlimited hours and pay into the system

Also work visas are most times only given out to highly skilled individuals and we all know that Indians are the majority in the Tech industry which means they could be contractors on around £600+ a day or on £85k+ a year salaries
I work in Tech myself and most of my team members are new from India.

Nigerians that came in with their families paid thousands already into the system even before they use any social amenities or NHS.

Those on dependant visa work unlimited hours to pay into the system, after one year the student will start working unlimited hours to pay into the system. So your argument hold no water.

To your point that Indians comes in to take highly skilled jobs is far from the truth as they come in to take just ANY job that give sponsorship.

Indians abuse the system just as Nigerians, just that they do it and keep it within their communities but Nigerians are the loudest and far too boastful.

Typical Nigerian , he’s too lazy to read but want to rush to the Uk to do Phd

Anyways i was just advising my cousin bro to leave “UK student visa”… and try other EU countries like Netherlands, Germany, Finland etc .

Airbus na no-go area if you are not a citizen. There is one other company that does the same too. I have forgotten their name. Still in the aviation or vehicular industry too

Is it Northrop Grumman? If so, they also screened me out. I guess these companies would need to do a certain level of Security Clearance. Well sha, let me console myself with the fact that, at least Airbus liked something on my CV, which was enough for them to reach out. Lol

You can't have an omelette without breaking some eggs. The government thought about all that before deciding to open the scheme. There's strain on the system because the government isn't funding the system at par with the growth of the population. The issue with the NHS didn't start with the reintroduction of student visas with PSW, neither did the housing crisis or failures in other critical infrastructure.
Nigerian students did not benefit from the billions doled out during covid as furlough pay. Most students put their lives at great risk to feed their families because there was no recourse to public funds. Thousands of the lowest and almost demeaning of jobs are being done by these Nigerian students, jobs that Brits will likely reject, so don't come here and speak like they're the cause of the strain on the system.

Please can someone remind me of that app or website where people post things they want to give out for free? House hold things?

That not the moral of the story .

I know the reason why my cousin want the UK , he’s not there genuinely for studies , he even promised to bring his girlfriend along later … lol.

I’ll keep saying it 90% of Nigerians with student visa don’t genuinely want to study anything… they just want to bring dia wife and kids after a while and settle down in the UK … finish !

The UK is becoming aware , hence people better start looking out for other EU countries

When did Nigerians suddenly start falling in love with school na .(MSc) … lol … make we talk truth na.

Those ones are not students and are entitled to work unlimited hours.

How much is that visa fee sef...It is big money to Nigerians but not to the UK. It is nowhere near billions when you speak about pounds.

So you mean you will just wake up and decide to spend money you work so hard for in Nigeria on a Msc you know will give you nothing in return ?

How did they pay?
Nigerians coming into the UK may have paid less than $2k for visa fees and you think that is more than people and their parents in the UK who have been taxes for nigh on 50 plus years?

I am comparing Indian Students to Nigerian students and not those on any other visa..when we are talking about people abusing the student visa route it is Nigerians not Indians.

Most are paying in installments. They aren't bringing loads of money into the UK to pay. Rather they are using money earned in the UK to pay.

Just last year Nigerian made billions of pounds for the UK government, this word you just type made me believe you are relying on hear say, do you research and get facts

Exactly and people are defending this.

Of course the UK will stop it and that will be a shame for any genuine student looking to study in the country.

People coming to Uk to hurtle to pay schools are not up to 20% of the Nigerian student in the UK, when the get issue it spread faster cause bad use the say move faster that the good news

Stop defending nonsense.
The issue here is that Nigerians are taking advantage of the student visa route and bringing everybody in their family. The Student visa was not designed for that.

There is a housing crisis because student accomodation is supposed to house single people and not whole families. Most Nigerians coming in can not afford to pay for housing which is suitable for whole families that is the main issue.

Women are coming in heavily pregnant and giving birth for free on the NHS...can they try that one in America?

3-4 New immigrant children are being placed in schools and British born children who have parents who have paid taxes for years have to stay home.

As I said, The student visa was not designed for families but now the government is aware that Nigerians are taking the piss they will put a stop to it.

Apart from visa fees each member of the family and the main applicant pay £624 a year for IHS and those under the age of 18 pays £470.

So for 2 and half year student visa each family members pays £1248 even before they use NHS and when they get to the UK and start working they still pay for NI and during their visa extension they will still pay £1248 each.

So tell me how many British citizen pay that much yearly for NHS even if they don't use it?

Before Uk government said Msc student and above can come with their family it means they know people under going Msc have family, I don’t know why it not a problem for you, if they are not contributing to the system then they should stop it.

Josh121:

That the mentality many Nigerians have .. lol … they feel entitled because they’ve paid so much money on acquiring MSc in UK .

There’s a reason why it called “Skilled worker”

There’s a reason why many Indians you see in UK/US tech industries are on work visa direct !

If you know you are skilled enough with enough professional certifications and you are outstanding at whatever you do ..Go for it .

But if you feel that just because you paid £14,000 to study MSc in food & nutrition in one low ranking university owned by one pakistan man… ;lol…therefore the UK should give you a job and let you bring your family

My brother , you are on a long thing , your visa might even expire before your convocation self

Amarathripple0:


What’s even funny is that they are on the Tier2 list of sponsors. It’s not a FTC but a permanent role. I’ve been doing job interviews all week and most of them have not asked about my visa status. So I doubt I’ll respond because I don’t have the energy to defend my right to work, it’s tiring abeg.

One will come through, just a matter of time

Plenty PM jobs around , I suppose?

Omo you get bad mouth oh calling someone ‘mumu’ unprovoked for a personal decision he chose for himself. If I guess you are above 35 and acting this way. Dooh oh. Well done ma

Uzomarrr12345:
My cousin bro just recently moved there … in as much I was against it because his first degree in Nigeria is not health or IT related.

What are his chances of survival in a competitive place like the UK with a Management degree certificate.

Even the post study work (PSW) isn’t looking sure like before , chances of you coming back to Nigeria immediately after your studies is high .

The UK is tightening it immigration laws daily , they’ve started crackdown on dependants visas

Told this young man , he will be better off trying to hustle for a German visa or even Australia visa or any EU country with flexible PR option.

But baba insisted he must enter UK with student visa , smh … because anytime he comes on nairaland and see you people talking about making 2500 pounds per month

My Mumu cousin self will rush and bring out his CASIO calculator and convert £2500 to naira , then start telling me , he will be making 1.9 million naira per month and he will be sending me like 300k monthly …lol

The Mumu don forget say “They don’t spend naira in UK” … the guy isn’t even thinking of tax and other bills , he just went straight to 1.9 mill naira

Anyways, we still got his back ,we just told him not to put himself under any pressure as we are not expecting anything from him…. He should cut down on high expectations coz his on a student visa … wished him all the best thou.

Olinga:
Omo you get bad mouth oh calling someone ‘mumu’ unprovoked for a personal decision he chose for himself. If I guess you are above 35 and acting this way. Dooh oh. Well done ma

I only called him Mumu coz he was already having so much high expectations of sending home 1.9 million naira on a student visa .

Somebody who is yet to complete his other balance of school fees .

Haba !

How much is that visa fee sef...It is big money to Nigerians but not to the UK. It is nowhere near billions when you speak about pounds.

I have two friends who paid £15,000 complete schools fees before even leaving Nigeria, we haven't even added IHS, Visa fees, rent and Co to it

It seems you have this idea of Nigerians in your head that's hard to shake.

Both sides are right, Indians abuse the system just as Nigerians are with the dependent stuff.

It benefits the UK gov just as it benefits Nigerian students and if their schools didn't receive billions in pounds from the whole thing / plenty £ from IHS , they would have shut everything down without much debate

In my class, Nigerians are like 95% of the entire class, 2 white guys and a few Indians. I sometimes ask myself what will happen if Nigerians weren't in that school or community, probably be very dead. If you doubt this, i can make a video for you tomorrow so you'll see

In all of this, it's boom season for Landlords and schools the most

While you are here bothering your head on who is genuine or not the UK govt is cashing out big time, if it bothered them so much they know what to do.

Use this energy to learn a new skill

Uzomarrr12345:

Lol … another festus keyanmo defending everything that comes on board but failing to admit the MAJOR REASON “you will find a black man …esp a 40 yr old Nigerian giving testimony in church for a student VISA” is because man is trying to escape for greener pastures !!!

Nothing else … you know the truth but you just wanna defend anything… lol

Let just hope we get the right leadership 2023 , and fix the country coz it really embarrassing

I keep telling people, NIGERIA is far richer than the UK.

Just bad management !

You just want to troll...
