The proportion of change in percentage is quite massive for Nigeria. While Indian doubled, Nigeria actually trippled and this is because

1. Indians are more pro business and have ability to reference themselves more than anyone else.

2. The population of India is massive and the numbers that left and moved to UK is infinitesimal within numbers outlook of their population.

3. The awareness for work visa route is just becoming more open in Nigeria whereas India has syndicated organisations running migration schemes...

4. We are too independent and competitive minded in Nigeria.

5. Africa is also less favoured. Within the scheme of scale, Africa comes last IMO

Excellent and congratulations

Timitempah:



Hi, thanks for the information. I have been informed that one do not need to pay for the second year fees before switching visa route since I have not enrolled and started my second year yet. Also mailed the school and they have said there is no problem switching to the visa route and I can continue schooling part time if I choose too.

This bold ehnnnn. Indians have perfected this like a well oiled machine . Not just UK self , in USA na them dey grab majority of h1b. I give it to them shaA lot of them belive they rise by lifting their own .

Recently I met a Zimbabwe woman who has a care establishment. She brought 30 of her people, all given free Cos, but if it was a Nigerian.....never, we still dey learn for that department

The hack is simple - There are 1.2 billion Indians in India and maybe 200 million, 220 million, 250 million people in Nigeria (nobody really knows), all herdsmen from across west Africa included. So on the numbers alone, India is bound to be proportionally represented in the stats.

When it comes to nursing and care homes, its the Zimbabweans who seem to have established themselves in that area. Lots of them run care homes.

Population is a factor, true. Did you look at the student figures? We have over half their number in student visas but about 10% in Work Visa. How come the population proportion doesn't affect Student Visas?

With the way Nigerians have started looking more into the Work Visa, I bet you, this time next year, the ratios would be very different! Nigerians generally believed getting Work Visa in the UK was impossible but the Indians were storming the Health and Tech sectors. Nigerians have now discovered this so the numbers would get interesting. I look at the ratios in my office and see the trend.

Maybe because more Indians can access the UK through skilled worker visas so proportionally fewer bother to use the study visa route?

The era of Study Visa just like in 2010 era

Student visa is nothing to what uk generates via tax.
They tax everyone from footballers to students.

That might well be so, but it wouldn't be the only reason. If population size was linked to visas, India would be closely followed by Pakistan, and then China. I think it's more to do with something in the Indian culture that prioritises pulling up their own. it's a cultural thing shared by most Asian cultures but particularly with Indians.

I wanted to say something regarding the huge disparity regarding prices charged in African shops run by Asians versus those run by our own Africans, but I reserve my comments.

Its very funny really how all those who migrated via student route from Nigeria after enjoying free resources from forums such as NL are now charging for one-on-one sessions or for sharing other information required by others after them. This is sad really. The annoying thing is some are actually selling templates for essays, seminars, cover letters, CV formatting etc when all of these resources are available for free on many school's intranet to the students. We need to change if we are to lift each other up from the perils of our country.

This is spot on. You took it out of my mouth.

It might also be worth highlighting that skills demand and supply, government policies and enabling environment influence migration.

For instance, the degree of market-ready talent pool in India isn't the same with Nigeria be it in Tech or Medicine. The Nigerian government and its agencies are constantly making emigration of skilled professionals more difficult; this is somewhat speaks to the culture of butter competition amongst Nigeria.

Solumtoya, it might be more helpful to disaggregate the data by population percentage as the countries have varying poluation size.

The fellow Zimbabweans that came will help grow the organisation. On the other hand, the Nigerians will help run your organisation to the ground. I know what some of my employees back in Nigeria did to my business.

Even here, yesterday my wife made a Zimbabwean lady's hair and charged £60, the lady paid £70 because she was impressed. The Nigerians in our church were doing abeg, the very nice one was begging for £10.

Who has transferGo referral link? I want to open account with them.

Good morning guyz my resumption date inside my COS is 10th of September and my biometric date is also 10th of September cause that's the closet date i saw for my appointment, i hope it'll not affect my chance on getting visa? As the two dates clash

I saw a comment on Facebook where a girl asked if Nigeria was on a banned list and how she couldn't get Cos...so i messaged her that there no ban list for carer

Fast forward 2 months later, I saw her advertising that anyone who looking for cos should contact her. I message her and realised it was the same person taking of banned list some weeks ago. I said are u now in UK. She said no but she gotten her cos and doing visa. I said how come you are then advertising you have carer job to offer

She said where she got cos are also looking for people so she decided to make some money . So she advertising and if she connect you to them she charge a whooping 7k GBP to be paid to her in naira .I asked did you pay that for your cos, she said no but she turning this to her side hussle. To say I was shocked is an understatement. Someone who hasn't even stepped foot in UK

Resumption not a problem, what the problem is the expiry date of the COS. ...if you apply well within the 3 month expiry that fine

For date, you gat to sleep on that website for a couple of days, constantly refreshing. Dates do pop up but vanish quickly as its fastest finger grabs it but if the expiry is still far then sept 10 is ok

I know right ... when there no money tree that is dashing people money . The morality of it self but in her mind she a sharp business woman

You can imagine that, it's so sad and needs to stop. One was charging for one-on-one calls yet she can on a Twitter space to ask for help in deciding future very sad if we can't help our own with information as little as what they are charging for.

I didn't even see the comments above before I chipped in. Most people have said it all already. We (as a people) need to do better and be intentional.

They own the businesses. And prime them for being sponsors.

Watched an attorney explain something about that on YouTube and I was wawu!

It would shock you that some of those indian shops and restaurants you go to buy from have some form of sponsorship licenses. Besides, there are plenty of roles in these category that are on the shortage occupation list.

Hi guys can I open Barclays bank account with just BRP and my naija passport ?

Please guys does someone switching from student dependant Visa to health and care visa need a criminal record certificate from Nigeria? I have read the attached instruction but it seems to say for those applying from outside UK. Not sure I am reading it right.

You read right, you don't need it.

What's your budget?
There used to be "homestamp kent" website which was run by UKC, CCCU & UCA and which made it easier to get student accommodation locally but it was closed down in 2020. This has now been replaced by https://canterburystudentpad.co.uk/Accommodation which is Kent Union and Local Landlords.
You can check Palamon Court ( https://www.crm-students.com/student-accommodation/canterbury/palamon-court-canterbury/ ) between the Canterbury East train station and the city centre if money isn't an issue. You can also check Clare Ellen Guest House ( http://www.clareellenguesthouse.co.uk/ ) on Victoria road - the owner used to have a house that he rented out to students back then; if he doesn't own it anymore, he might be able to point you to the right direction.
You can check "University of Kent Freshers 2022" on Facebook - housing information is usually posted there.
You can try this too: https://www.studenttenant.com/
Otherwise, check the front windows of the store in the city centre for rental adverts or go to the Kent Union office at the Mandela Centre
