true...and the victims there would be too scared to speak out because of the stigma and victim shaming.

Another rape case by another student, this one actually gloated about his actions:

I hope these individuals realise that they will be automatically deported as soon as they are released from prison.

In summary don’t sleep with a woman who has been drinking. Even if you want to make sure you record it when she gave the consent either through Voice note or video.

Is it just me but I don't get the drive on NL to maximise any criminal activity carried out by a Nigerian abroad and subconsciously reflect it on us all.

At least 50,000 Nigerians arrived the UK over the last year. It goes without saying that some would have untoward tendencies just like any group in any part of the world. Are sexual offences overepresented in our group here? I don't think so. I work in a county which is over 95% white British and there are many incidents of sexual harassment and rape which are rightly punished when caught but I don't see how that is a British thing.

The average African/Nigerian male is a recipient of many unfair stereotypes. We fanning those stereotypes does us no favours.

Not to belabour this, but anyone who is forcing himself on a lady in the manner described doesn't need a warning.

There is a difference between pointing out fall points in a system and making it look like every Nigerian male has a tendency towards rape and hence should be bridled. Conversely, the average newish immigrant can appear so timid that they don't even take a stand when their rights are being trampled on.

Thousands of Brits comit crime all over the world. Their media doesn't use their punishment as a recurring flyer to teach other Brits good morals.

Lol why are you mad? Isn't your rent providing you a place to live and a base from which to work/study? Isn't paying rent a normal occurrence in nigeria, and very high rents at that in cities like Lagos and Abuja?

While it should remain a firm aspiration to own one's home in the UK, renting until you get there is perfectly normal and part of the process/journey for millions. It takes time to build up a deposit, excellent credit rating and other factors, so don't feel pressured into buying a house (the biggest purchase most people will ever make) in a short time after moving to the UK.

It's similar to how people jumped onto the bandwagon of trying to acquire one or several credit cards within a couple of months of arriving the UK, some without the basic understanding of how credit works and many damaging their credit file in the process.

Some things take time and in the meantime work hard, save hard and acquire the relevant knowledge.






Well said.....

The prevalence of Indian doctors you've encountered in the UK and the general visibility of Nigerians in various contexts can be largely attributed to the population sizes of these countries. India, with a population surpassing 1.3 billion, and Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa with over 200 million people, have significant diaspora communities worldwide. This large population base increases the likelihood of encountering their nationals abroad.

For instance, when considering the healthcare sector in the UK, the Indian population means a higher number of Indian medical professionals working internationally, including the UK. Similarly, the large Nigerian population contributes to a more noticeable Nigerian presence globally. This is not only in positive contributions but also in negative stereotypes, like the association with fraud. It's not that other African countries don't have individuals involved in such activities; rather, Nigeria's larger population size results in more frequent reporting and visibility of such incidents involving Nigerians.

also, countries with smaller populations, such as Zimbabwe or Namibia, each with populations under 3 million, have fewer nationals living and working abroad. This smaller population size naturally leads to their lesser representation in various international sectors or in global news narratives.

So, the probability of encountering individuals from populous nations like India or Nigeria, and the frequency of their actions being reported or discussed, is higher due to their larger population numbers. This demographic context is necessary for understanding why certain nationalities appear more prominently in specific sectors or discussions.

What’s the name you call rent again?

Guys let’s come together and talk about this rent thing. I have paid over 10k on rent for a single room and each time I think about it it gets me very mad.

How do we break free cos I can’t continue paying this money monthly.

But you're paying for shelter. That's not a bad thing

Interesting perspective.

In essence, people have to pay rent...... But I feel it should only be for a certain period of time.......

Apart from not paying your LL mortgage, you also build wealth and create some sort of financial freedom for our children........ If this growth continues over a period of time, the next generation would not be living a stressed out existence........

Imagine if our collective parents left Nigeria at the same pace and invested for our generation, all this hard life would be greatly reduced........

Think of the multiplier effect 3 years rental payment of Β£50,000, would achieve, if properly invested ..... You would simply be existing on dividends........... πŸ˜‚πŸ˜œ

Gotten a CC yet? Mine is 771 and I'm yet to get any CC

Credit Score - certificate

Credit history - experience

Experience > certificate

Build your experience.

If you don't have a history, you are high risk to these lenders and even if your score is 999 it does not guarantee CC will be approved for you or lenders will give you good rates.

Credit history is a record of how you’ve managed the repayment of debts, such as credit cards and loans.

Credit score is like an opinion everybody has one or a suggestion telling the creditor this person is worth checking out. Your history is what determines your substance. The creditor looks at your profile and what do they see - nada - they move on or the sharks offer you rates that are ridiculously high.
