Is there any particular reason you mentioned "with a caucasian"? What about other races? Latina, Asian, black etc.?
Many prefer them coz they’re usually unaware about using marriage to get papers. Non natives and people from other background or race are mostly informed about marriage for papers and will harbour the thoughts you’re with them for that purpose.

Broken family and single parentood is really not the best .... Some cases both parties tried and it really doesnt work out . ....but dropping seed just because of settlement . Chei

I know Nigeria can be hard so if anyone doesnt want to go back I can respect that . But to bring a child into it ,seems so unfair to that child
While you may have a point but try not to lose sight on the fact that people give birth for different reasons. Some because they want someone who will look after them at their old age and vulnerable moment and the ones who just want coz the society expect them to among other reasons so if someone in their bid to beat immigration control in their host countries decide to have a child then yeah it’s part of the game. It can become a problem if they renege from their parental responsibility and obligation to that child.

So far as Western countries keeps tightening the noose on immigration and ways of acquiring residency people will adopt desperate means to manoeuvre through the system. I’ve met several people of both sexes who deliberately had babies just to manipulate the immigration system and it’ll keep happening. Whether it’s right or wrong is a different issue and subjective.

Having a paper does not make you rich or means happy-life, if you have families back home that you are responsible to then getting somebody pregnant or marry a white British citizen women will be a tough combination because as long as many are concern your life starts and ends in the UK .

Very few..very very will allow you to be sending money home or have a meaningful investment back home.


You really need to marry for love and not for paper, marry somebody who understands the cultural differences.
Nothing guarantee happiness but achieving some things makes the pursuit for happiness easier. If the issue is about the woman curbing his involvement in Nigeria and his family he has the option of divorcing after getting their permanent residence in 5years. Or what do you reckon someone who’s illegal or about to and doesn’t want to return home do if not the options I stated? You live in the UK and know how boring and isolated it can be so how easy it is to find genuine love or what other ways do you want an illegal immigrant to regularise their status here?

Oga, marry for love, marry for papers or marry for money.......

Individuals have an individualistic choice to make...... Let's not be quick to judge or prosecute........ It's their cross, let them carry it..........

Those criticising, could you personally render assistance?
You’re quoting the wrong person. I’m saying that do whatever it takes to get papers, love or whatever is the motive is irrelevant.

You never said anything about running out of time.

Is a student on a 2 year visa running out of time?
You think it’s impossible not to find genuine love within 2years? Mate, there are people here who haven’t had a girlfriend/boyfriend in 5years and it’s very common coz the society is structured in such a way that social life and partner is hard to find. So to your question yes 2years ain’t enough for many and in fact very short to get a partner and it’s even more difficult for new immigrants coz most non-natives will avoid going into a relationship with you with the presumption you just want papers.

Rubyventures:
It just sounds desperate to me, chances are you will end up with someone who you will resent. Why not take your time and date properly? You will be surprised.
When you move to a country and running out of time and visa expiring you by default find yourself in a desperate position to regularise your status. A lot of people were paying £5k and above in contract marriages until that route was unearth and disrupted. If one find genuine love fine but if that’s not forthcoming and clock ticking, love becomes just a word.

You really must be joking, that is the easiest way to mortgage your future in the UK.
I guess you mean by child support. Well yeah I’ll rather have a child and get settled status than live illegally. That was the point.

My visa experience was very smooth, it took just 3days for British embassy Abuja to grant my visa. I came with a family permit under the spousal visa category. Applied Monday and received a message to come collect passport Wednesday. I guess I was lucky or just had the right paperwork.

Family permit valid for 6months and I applied for extension and it took about 5months and got 5years residency. My permanent residence application 5years later took just 6weeks and naturalisation application was about a month.

I live in southeast London, Greenwich to be precise. Can’t say it’s the best borough but I love the “Nigerianess” of it. Life initially was tough but with persistence and determination I was able to pull through. I’m a pharmacist working with the NHS and future looking great. We’ve many Nigerian eatery in the Greenwich borough but I prefer Tasty Woolwich.

My advise for anyone coming to the UK is to remain focused and keep pushing. If you’re coming as a student ensure you complete your course and do all you can to establish a relationship with a Caucasian so you can cement your stay here. Except for those who intend to return to Nigeria after education or whatever visa they came with, getting married or impregnating a native should be your top priority.

Avoid driving if you’re on a low income as it’s more expensive to own a car than using public transport for people in London but outside London owning a car is compulsory coz public transport isn’t as active.

But for time I’ve a lot to say as per the other questions by the OP, may probably stop by again later.

Guys, I just started the process of getting a student visa to study in Poland. My aim is to use my student status to work there even if it's menial job till I finish my studies there and get a permanent residency permit. Now my question is:
1. As a student, will I be able to work in my free time doing menial jobs?
2. I intend paying my second semester school fees upward from the money I get doing those menial jobs? The first semester fee will be paid with the savings I have right now
3. Is it possible to get a resident permit after a year of schooling there because I don't intend coming back to Nigeria after my studies.

Note: All my savings right now will be spent on visa application, school fees etc so I will have nothing or little when I get to poland.

I am working in Nigeria (I'm a civil engineer/Project planner and I know a little about IT) but underpaid, I even borrow money to feed sometimes, it's that bad. I just want to live a modest life and help people.. Being a dangote isn't my dream at all.
An honest advice even though it’ll be ignored as I can see your mind is made up. Your intention of sponsoring yourself in Poland while schooling won’t materialise. There are no jobs in Poland and the few jobs there are poorly paid. You can’t sponsor yourself while studying and without regular support from family and friends in any country not even the UK or US where jobs are abound. Many have come to the UK with failed hope of sponsoring themselves while studying. Polish are moving to EU countries and Britain in search of greener pastures like Nigerians travel for same reasons. Avoid Poland.

I knew I’d have better prospect abroad than Naija so to cut long story short, I met my wife in a school in Abuja where she was visiting with her two friends, they had visited a primary school to donate some study materials to a school in Garki during a college break. We started talking from then until a year later when she came down to Naija to see me and I proposed and we got married at AMAC registry Abuja few days later and 3months after I moved to Britain to join her. My life has never been thesame again and now a naturalised citizen, obtain a pharmacy degree and never regretted.

Billionaire Gucci master wey him papa dey drive taxi wey don die finish and he no fit help him papa.

Billionaire wey no get one single investment, family house property, real estate property to his name. At least he for show off.

Billionaire wey him only property na cloth, shoe and bag.

Abeg nothing dey there. All na show & big mouth.
You mumu no be small. It’s clear this guy is a fraudster and he knows security agencies eyes might be on him so would never display his property and liquid investments. He’s a very smart fraudster who knows that letting the world know your properties when you’re involve in illegal stuff is an idiotic move.

Also, there was no proof that the taxi the other fraud friend of his turned foe was that of his father. And if I were him I won’t prove to anyone that I’m indeed taking care of my parents, it’s no one’s business. For someone who could lend a friend 20million naira, I mean 20million if you know what that means, not to take care of his parents is idiotic and impossible. For him to come out to give evidence that he’s taking care of his parents eill be an unsmart move coz everyone will likely unearth their identity and his investments/properties can easily be traced through them.

We get it, you are an atheist, doesn't mean you should go about actively seeking for people to piss off...Y'all call yourselves free thinkers but mock Theists...Such Irony.


By the way, I am Agnostic and all I do is poke a few jokes, I just find it distasteful going round shouting to people "HEY I DONT BELIEVE IN GOD"


It's just uncourteous.
The irony and hypocrisy is on theist who believes it's their alienable right to always say hey I believe in God and rub it on others faces but takes offence when an atheist says I don't believe in God. If they can proclaim about their imaginary God at any slightest instance then atheist should too.
