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.

You're actually the one with a rubbish stance. You're saying Nigerian students are flooding student accommodations with their whole families, so why is there such a huge demand for 2-3 bed properties around the country, with the available properties turning into bidding wars, and properties going at 30-70k over asking? I really don't understand why you're crying more than the bereaved. If the UK government so feels that the net economic benefits of immigrant students is far less than the strain they're causing to the system, let them put a stop to it. Nigerians will simply go elsewhere; it has happened before.
If all your pain is because an immigrant child took your kid's spot in school, well, my advice is work harder, so you can send the child to Eton. Pele dear, don't be the village people, they pray against.

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?


So Nigerian citizens should take priority over British citizens because they paid?

In any case there are many British citiizens who have paying into the NHS for years and they have never used it so your logic is off.

You didn't make any sense...most importantly you didn;t even understand what I wrote because where did I say that they were flooding student accomodation?

Student accomodation is readily available..the issue is, such accomodation is not meant to house families..what part of that don't you understand?

In the meantime Nigerians are complaining that they can't find accommodation but that is because they either can't afford it or do not have UK credit records or a guarantor.

Again the sense of entitlement is astounding.

Crying more than the bereaved? I have been paying taxes here for how many years and I have every right to have an opinion on how they are used.

The UK will soon stop this nonsense sha. Nigerians should stay where they are and fix their country instead of running over here to complain and over use resources.

Haba .. that a lie

We are all Nigerians on this platform… Once in a while , let learn how to speak the truth na… most Nigerians are seeking student visas because they want to settle down permanently in the UK.

No intentions of returning back home with the MSc certificate… lie lie … my cousin wey enter yesterday is already thinking of bringing his girlfriend along to start family… grin

Infact if not that the UK is strict with dia student visa policy, a lot of Nigerians on student visa will abscond school after few months of arrival .

Not every black Nigerian person 'came' to the UK. Some of us are born and raised in this land. My parents were paying Uk taxes long before I was born here in London. I am now also paying my own share....na you get bad belle..lol

Nigerians are double charged and they are not entitled to public fund while British citizens use NHS even if they don't pay a penny,

A lot of British citizens rather sit on their lazy backsides and claim benefit rather than take those jobs Nigerians students do.

Nigerians student visa holders pay for everything till they get resident paper.

British govt charge those Nigerians even for sending emails or calls to find out about their visa application.

So stop this Nigerians are taking this and that because you got no clue what they go through to survive here.

Yeah her focus should be on Nigerians because they are abusing the system.

Students are normally single people

Students consisting of a grown man/wife & partner with 3- 5 kids is not normal and taxing on the system. Yes they are paying for healthcare but are they also paying for school places, books, pens, free food and all the other amenities that these children use? It is something when British Born children can't find a place in school because a new Nigerian immigrant child has taken their place.

There are more Indians and Chinese coming in as students than Nigerians but these are genuine students coming alone to study. It is the Nigerians who are packing whole families here.

Suella will be back. She probably only resigned so that she could do so before the PM.

Go to Facebook., in comment section.. you see many indians dropping out like flies . Many are hustlers that just came to UK with no intention of paying that school fees.

Even their sister Suella is complaining they have the highest number of overstayers ....

As I said, this is about those on student visas who came with whole families. The Indian students don't come with whole families unless they come on a skilled worker visas.

You are quite delusional. You are calling the British lazy but it is their systems, banking systems, technology, infrastruture, roads, buildings and and the country they developed over centuries that you think Nigerians should be more entitled to just because they are coming in to do menial jobs while parading as students?

If Nigerians are not lazy then how comes Nigeria is not as developed as the UK? Why are Nigerians running away from a country they have not developed and coming to the UK to call the citizens lazy as though they are the ones who built it?

Again this is about those on student visas abusing the system and it is not about the NHS but about schools and housing dealing with the unexpected influx of families.

The same way the British ran away from Britain to Nigeria and other part of the world to colonise them the difference here is that they did not apply for visa. Only armed themselves with bible pretending to be missionaries only to steal and loot.

Many cities in the UK were developed from materials stolen from Africa, look around royal family and you will see one or two stolen item from Africa.

Yes majority of British are damm lazy and would prefer claiming benefit than working hard.

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.

You don't need a degree in IT or health care or a degree at all to work in those industries.

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

That's not true. It was mooted and no decision has been taken.

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 grin

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 grin grin grin
A lot of people make that mistake until reality sets in.

On the whole, your cousin will do well if he/she knows what they are doing.
