but that £18k still gets taxed. they pay council tax directly or indirectly and they don't rely on the benefits to get by.



these ones are actually the scroungers. they are the ones most likely to commit heinous crimes, depend largely on benefits and raise children like pigs.



so you think nigerians are worse than romanians? really? the romanians who practise the art of pocket-picking before coming to the UK. the romanians that have perfected the art of manipulating various cash points to siphon your money?

I see you lack value and pride for being called a Nigerian. Just watch out for the Nigerians that will shake this world, and Yes, i know you will be gnashing your teeth then. Dont ever think you are better than anyone here because you are just giving the privilege, you come here to rant all manner of rubbish. I don't want to insult you because you are a Nigerian, will always be and also to maintain the rules here in Nairaland. You see We Nigerians keep to rules and regulation.

No, I don't think Nigerians are worse than the Eastern Europeans, very far from it.

I was trying to highlight Britain's headache. See, to understand what is going on here, we need to understand a bit about the EU treaty signed by the UK. As much as the UK would rather have hardworking tax paying Nigerians in its Economy, it is bound to cater to EU citizens first whether they be miscreants or revenue generating. The point here is that the UK must fulfil its obligations under the EU and in order to do so, it has to check the population of its people by going for the jugular of the third word countries. If it does not cut immigration from the countries outside the EU, by the time Romania becomes part of the EU and the Romanians head for the UK, the UK would become severely overpopulated and its infrastructures would be stretched.

I'm sure you would hate to see London turn to another Lagos, wouldn't you?

Whichever way we choose to see the UK, it is still an attractive destination for foreigners for its economic viability and generous health services. Until the UK gets rid of social welfare, it would continue to b seen as a soft touch for all migrants.

Desola:

aww...wait, let me throw you a banana.

MAYOWAAK: For any Nigerian desperate to migrate to the UK -and will do so illegally- the £3000 bond is a only a small hurdle.

Nigerians will make all the noise on social media but will eventually pay.

Besides, those who can afford the sum easily are not the ones who will become illegal immigrants.

Those who cannot afford it are the ones who will lose it.

Yes, Nigeria is that badly screwed.

don't feed a troll suffering from an identity crisis.......if you investigate his background, my £10 says he was conceived on a yam stall in onitsha market.

Area_boy:

You are now trollin and have completely lost what you were arguing about. You think so low of Africans probably due to where you live in the UK. shame.

Now go back to work and quit displaying your ignorance on a public forum

Desola:

Having an influx of economic migrants who can seldom secure an 18k per annum job isn't exactly wise business move, is it?

Moreover, the UK has too look out for its EU citizens first before worrying its head about third world countries. They have their own third world EU citizens in Romania and most East European countries to worry about.

Why waste time on those who would put hard labour on their free NHS and social benefits. That's what the polish, romanians and other Eastern Europeans are there for.

But, come on, those days are long gone. It is now virtually impossible to arrive off a 747 to a life on benefits in the UK. While I perfectly understand your point about those predestined to occupy low-income groups, I am not sure the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) - which has Vince Cable in the pocket - would agree they need to be regarded as a menace.

My view is that migrants of colour get maligned unjustly, because they tend to congregate mostly in big cities.
Naturally, much of this has to do with the notion of "safety in numbers", as there are still huge swaths of Ukaria that remain inhospitable to folks of a darker hue. Whereas Poles, Latvians, and other newly arriving migrant groups can take over towns like Lincoln and not attract unwanted scrutiny, you know well enough that the same cannot be said about our own people.

Today, I read of a Nigerian woman who has now won her fight to stay in the UK after arriving the UK for medical treatment for her kidney illness. Her claim was that she would not get such treatment in Nigerian and may die. Guess what, she has been receiving treatment since she arrived at the expense of the British tax payer. How about the woman who had triplets or was it sextuplets some few years ago, while on holiday (even though she was 9 months pregnant on her arrival). Rather than pay her hospital bills, she resorted to fighting to stay in the UK to care for her newborns as she said she would be unable to do so in Nigeria. These are but a few instances. I am sure that examples of Nigerians taken the UK's free health services abound.

Now, tell me, how do such people contribute positively to the UK?

Desola:

Can you prove any of your assertions?

I don't believe you. You are Nigerian, aren't you?

sobaemma: is this cameron punishment for us because we refuse gay?i doubt cus if it were it the south africa,ghana,kenya and others will have be included,hmmmm,it an insult to nigeria as the giant of africa,insult to nigeria as the ecowas leader,and more insult as one of the p5 in a.u,i wish it can be an eye open to my government,cus if its citizens are ok,no reason will they look for greener pastures

Pataki: This is Pataki.
I totally approve of the UKBA Home Office bond rule.

If you have no legal/legitimate business in that country, don't bother going there.

philips70:

I do not really need to give proofs here. All I tell you is the skill level of Nigerians have greatly soared over the years. They now work under us the way we were used to only work under them. This is a fact, not a brag. Am typing on top an FPSO offshore Ghana at the moment where am leading a pack of 16 Italians on a project with 2 of my other Nigerian colleagues. Like I told you, this is where I work- a company where a field engineer is a field engineer irrespective of your color. And yes am a full blooded Naija resident in Naija. We all are not happy with the Nigerian situation but I took exception on your speech about our skill level which actually have greatly improved.

desola, UKBA recoups that money from the visa fees they charge nigerians in lagos. isn't the british high commission in lagos the busiest in the world? the fees are non-refundable. common mistakes like forgetting to sign application forms make the application invalid and the fees are eaten!

nigerians are generally loud. even if they move to isle of wight, they would soon attract the attention of their neighbours. loud parties, exotic cars, etc. a nigerian working as a postman is dreaming of owning a porsche cayenne a month after gaining his royal mail employment.....and he's illegal o.....
