In this undercover investigation, Jon Snow reports on the return of the slum landlord in 21st-century Britain. At a time when more people than ever are having to rent privately, unable to get on the property ladder, Dispatches reveals the shocking conditions in which tenants are forced to live.

Dispatches sends an undercover reporter to work for a rogue property empire in the north of England. He reveals a world of forced evictions, slum properties in dangerous condition, and routine bullying of tenants. Jon confronts the man raking in millions while his tenants suffer.

Dispatches also exposes an extraordinary new phenomenon: thousands of people living in illegal sheds, transforming parts of London into slums. A second undercover reporter lives in a squalid, illegal shed in London, paying £40 a week rent to another rogue landlord.

Dispatches lifts the lid on a world where unscrupulous landlords are exploiting

I am not Nigerian and I support her 100%. Too me she is just a fellow negro who needs my support in a white man's land.

Abi oooo

mowaa:

This thread is misleading and am actually shocked it's coming from vcjustice
I mean [size=15pt]how can u personally recommend something when u haven't tried any of their advertised services[/size]?
And to think you didn't even do a thorough research and realize the [size=16pt]Canadian address given is false is very dis-appointing[/size].
And when did not providing a bank statement a barometer for testing true and fake agents? I have seen a case where a fake agent claimed he only did USA visa and no other country visa when a potential victim insisted he wanted a Canadian visa.
Vcjuctice my point is that you are old and kinda respected on this forum, recommending a travel agent without trying or knowing someone that successfully use his/her service is a No No

Haba!! He has tried them    He sent them an email to arrange Bank Documents, they said No! That means they are Legitimate    and he is RECOMMENDING them to others to use, when he has NOT processed visa thru them ROTFLMAO
I nor fit shout abeg

Will a common person be able to buy all these cheap and beautiful houses or It's only the Politicians and their relatives ONLY who will benefit from this Awoof

^^ Yeah! This thread is about Vicjustice's recommendation to 1-world Pls lets not derail the thread

Thank you

I will get some 'commission' egunje  from you, if you need other details    

@vicjustice,

Vicjustice:

  Well, you might have your reasons to doubt them, but i have a valid reason to believe in them, and as i have personally tried their legitimacy and i'm convinced beyond reasonable doubt that this is indeed a genuine and scam free agency.
I know someone who was in correspondence with them as well, and this is the contents of one of her emails:

"Hi, my name is Mrs.***** ****** *****, i am responding to the info i found on your website; that your company can provide documentation to aid my visa application for Canada. Now, i do have credentials and valid documents, but i am lacking one thing and that is BANK ACCOUNT STATEMENT, so, could you help to provide this for me, and if yes, how much will that cost me?
Waiting to hear for you."
 [size=16pt] Now, any fake "Visa Agent" would definitely have taken advantage of this and rip her off, but how surprised i was when the agency strictly refused to participate in that.[/size]

LOL. Is that enough reason to trust an Agent?   There are other ways to be ripped off.

The same way a popular person (Moderator) trusted a popular and once respectable member of nairaland (until she scammed him $14,000  naija for show

Wetin consign mi sef (scam or not)    no be my wahala      

claremont:

WTF!!! Infact, I won't even bother belittling myself to exchange words with you.

Who are you to ask who the Poster is?! Are you the owner of nairaland; and moreover, what makes you think the poster started this thread to slander justwise Even if he clearly stated that he did start this thread to slander justwise, is there anything wrong with you and Dare starting another thread to praise justwise, since it is clear both of you have always been his apologists.

Sicherheit:

[size=15pt]Hello,

The migrants risking death to break into Britain


By Evan Davis
BBC Panorama

It was about two years ago. I was returning from a weekend trip to France and found myself in a long queue of traffic on a dual carriageway just outside the port of Calais.
There right in front of us were dozens of young men walking between the vehicles and opening the backs of trucks to clamber inside.
They were evidently mostly Afghans, taking advantage of the fact the traffic was moving slowly to try anything to sneak a ride into the UK.
All this less than 30 miles from Kent.

The children ask me, is this really Europe? Is this Europe where we have no place to sleep?"
Zarminah, Afghan migrant in Athens
For me, any thoughts of disapproval at the unruly behaviour I was witnessing evaporated at the sight of a teenage boy cowering dangerously at the top of a lorry driver's cab under the back canopy.
He was not a trouble-maker. He was obviously petrified but still so desperate to get on to a car ferry to Britain, he was going to take the risk.
Better life
I felt like stopping the car to ask him why. What journey had he taken to get here and where did he think it might end? What is so good about our country that people would go to such lengths?
It was largely the vivid memory of that scene which made me eager to be involved in Panorama's examination of the economic migrants who risk everything to try and reach Britain illegally.
It is a chance to tell the migration story from the point of view of those trying to get into our country, rather than those of us lucky enough to be here already.
Journalist Shoaib Sharifi followed the journey from Kabul where he met fellow Afghans as they set out to reach the EU in Greece.
And in Africa, fellow journalist Kassim Kayira began in Lagos in Nigeria and travelled up through Africa to Morocco, a route taken by many African migrants fleeing poverty.

BBC One at 9pm then available in the UK on the BBC iPlayer.
The perspective from the UK and European border agencies on how they address the growing numbers desperate to reach the EU was my remit.
In Kabul, Shoaib met Fakhrudin, a father of seven who had decided to sent his eldest son to Europe, relying on the illegal people smugglers to help 18-year-old Sear reach Britain. Such is the demand to get out that it is one of Afghanistan's few growth industries.
"I'm doing this only so that my son can have a better life," Fakhrudin said, adding that he knew he was putting his son in harm's way for the gamble of that better life.
There are no guarantees of success and the price - just to get as far as Greece - is £4,700. For an extra £2,600, the smugglers tell Afghans they will get them as far as France. A further £700 will get you to London, they are told.
For those who do make it across the border with Iran and on to Turkey, the last stage before reaching Greece is the Evros river.
Sleeping rough
Perhaps the saddest revelation was the indecency of the reception in the European Union.
It is in Greece that many Afghan migrants' illusions of Europe as a welcoming place are quickly shattered.
Many have run out of money and find themselves sleeping rough on the streets of Athens with no hope of moving on to western Europe.
One young couple, Abdullah and Zarminah, made the trip with their three young children. They spend hours walking the children around the local squares to tire them out so that they will fall asleep on the pavement behind shrubs. They sleep in shifts in order to be able to watch over the children.

African migrants pay smugglers to help them risk their lives to cross the Sahara
"The children ask me, is this really Europe? Is this Europe where we have no place to sleep?" said Zarminah, who relies on a local charity to feed the children once a day.
Kassim Kayira meets migrants stranded along the route from Nigeria to the Mediterranean who have also run out of money to move on from Agadez in Niger.
They tell of being extorted at every turn, by passport control at borders and police along the way to people smugglers demanding thousands to take them on the dangerous lorry trip across the Sahara desert to Morocco. The former route via Libya has been abandoned amid that country's civil war.
For the women who have risked everything, the dangers are ever more grave. They described to Kassim the smugglers who demand sex in exchange for their passage, even if they have already paid for their trip. Many make it no further than the brothels of Africa.
Kassim said: "I was thinking, this could be my sister, this is someone's mother, you know, this is someone's daughter. Their parents are waiting. If they call back home, what are they going to tell their parents?"
Penniless, stranded
Unfortunately what Shoaib, Kassim and I learn is that those scenes I witnessed in Calais two years ago are just a slice of the greater problem.

Shoaib Sharifi met penniless Afghans sleeping rough on the streets of Athens
The risks the migrants take and the suffering they endure on their journeys are only matched by the resourcefulness they exhibit to travel thousands of miles unaided and their determination to succeed that is reinforced with every failed attempt.
All for what? Most of the journeys are futile.
Economic migrants are too often trapped without money or documents, unable to get into their destination of choice in Western Europe and penniless to turn around, give up and go home.
I defy anyone to watch the programme and not think that Greece and Italy badly need help in dealing with undocumented arrivals - a situation made even worse by the flood of arrivals fleeing violence in north Africa.
At the heart of this investigation lies a simple dilemma - to tolerate the suffering on our own continent is unconscionable - but to alleviate the suffering by simply opening the door might attract vastly more people than we can realistically cope with humanely.
We meanwhile are trying to maintain complete mobility across borders for the population of the rich world while trying to build ever higher walls to deny that mobility to the world's poor.
I am sorry to say our examination of the issues does not deliver a solution.
Perhaps there is not one to be had.
