dridowu: Am 100% sure guys go hussle and pay dat £3k , i doubt if dos dat pay will return bak to 9ja as wen d visa is due
.

I doubt that it would be as easy as pay a bond and the door would be left ajar for you to enter. The rules and requirement would still need to be met and the guarantor (most likely a UK resident) would be held liable should the visitor abscond I'm sure.

Those people tried going to the US or Canada but were not issued a visa, so they copted for the UK. Getting a US visa is not moi moi especially if the applicant cannot present themselves like is coming with peckam brought ups.

And I am glad that the US has such a tight policy. We do not need any troublesome Nigerians sullying our good name here.

Educated and hardworking Nigerians are welcomed, but we do not need any leachers like the ones that are found in the UK.

Desola: Long overdue policy!
I support it!

MPs won't approve it. vince cable was on TV yesterday and he said the move is racist! the policy to let high risk migrants pay a bond and the notorious ads asking illegal immigrants to leave are all racist moves according to mr. cable. in this age of political correctness, theresa may won't survive the outrage!

You're that ibo guys that believe all Nigerians in the UK to be Yorubas and now fear that the stringent requirement by the UK would now mean that you will be seeing a lot of Yoruba "leeches" in your specially carved ibo annex called The U.S, right?

Makes sense to me, judging by the manner in which Nigerians and other Asian countries abuse that country.

Ride on Theresa!

For refusing to accept its reduced status in the annals of world affairs, UKaria gets everything it deserves, in my opinion wink

I have never said I was Igbo anywhere on this forum. Do not try to project any tribalism on me.

The Brits may rub me the wrong way, but I have nothing but love for Nigerian brothers and sisters in the UK regardless if they are Igbo, Yoruba, Edo etc. We just do not want the moochers found in the UK to come to the US now.

Vince Cable of Lib Dem? That party lost the plot a long time ago and is probably rumbling to remain relevant.

Truth be told though, that country cannot continue to be run as it is. Immigration needs to be checked at all cost.

Can a cabinet minister make a policy which is against its party's manifesto? If Cameron hadnt agreed to it, Theresa nor the immigration minister would not have the audacity to implement it.

It is the Hausa who say "perhaps" prevents the white man from telling a lie - they understood English chicanery all too well.

Cameron knows what he is doing by allowing Theresa to run with these trials.
If the bond policy tanks, as it is unlikely to, Theresa gets to be the fall gal.

Indeed coogar.

The emboldened portion of your post is what I find problematic in Desola's wholesale acceptance of this discriminatory policy.

Most illegal migrants likely to be white

Long-stay immigrants into the UK from Poland, India and China are outnumbered by Germans, South Africans, North Americans, people from the white Commonwealth and returning Britons.

Official figures show that of the top ten migrant countries in 2008, 137,000 were from the first group and 152,000 from the second group.

There is no debate in the media, among politicians and among the public concerning North Americans and the white Commonwealth.

The fact that they ‘take jobs’ in the UK does not feature as an issue among those who are most concerned about immigration.

hTe anti-immigration campaign group Migration Watch and UKIP create fear about immigration numbers and fail to point out that immigrants include people from Australia, US, New Zealand and others.

The figures are contained in the Office for National Statistics latest annual report on migration, Migration Statistics 2008, http://www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm71/7197/7197.pdf

Of those intending to stay for a long period, the report states:
British, 77,000 (i.e. UK citizens returning to the UK)
Poland, 54,000
India, 48,000
China, 18,000
Germany, 18,000
Pakistan, 17,000
USA, 15,000
South Africa, Australia, Italy, 14,000

The report suggests that many of the Indian, Chinese and perhaps Pakistani long-stay migrants are students. It states: ‘More than half of all migrants arriving in the UK for formal study were citizens of an Asian country. Of the 91,000 Asian migrants arriving in the UK in 2008 to study, 22 per cent were Indian citizens and 17 per cent were Chinese citizens.’

The number of asylum seekers have been falling. Official figures excluding dependants, states that asylum applications received in 2006 was 23,610, 8 per cent less than in 2005.

In terms of all visitors and migrants into the UK, the report states: ‘Citizens of the United States of America (USA) comprised 32 per cent of total non-EEA admissions, the nationality with by far the most admissions, representing an increase of 6 per cent to 4.1 million in 2006. The next three nationalities with the highest numbers of admissions were Australia (up 8 per cent to 1.1 million), Canada (up 11 per cent to 1.0 million) and India (up 23 per cent to 0.8 million).’

It is likely that most illegal immigrants are from North America and white Commonwealth countries.


According to the Institute for Public Policy Research, few people sneak into the country undetected so most illegal immigrants are overstayers, or people who stay in the UK beyond their entitlement.

There are few figures concerning overstayers by country. When Australia checked their overstayers in 2005, they found the top countries were the US and Britain.

Is that so? I know many Nigerian-Americans living the American dream. Not living in some ghetto or on welfare like the ones in the UK.

Nigerians have much easier chance of being successful in the US, than in the UK. In some US cities, they even welcome us like in Houston.

Ministerial responsibility. Indeed, she may have to ultimately resign if it all goes belly up and affects the economy negatively (a la decline in visa application fees revenue) but it would ultimately reflect badly against Cameron. It's called Ministerial Responsibility.
