Loko40:
Good morning all,

Please can one still bring in dependants. I am currently in UK with my wife (September 2023 intake). I want to bring in my children now.

Thanks

If I were you, I will not bring in dependent at this critical time. Have you looked into the new policy just released as per dependent? Can confidently tell your self if faced with those options you can scale through with your kids?

Allschoolsinfo:
Thank you and God bless you.

If I were you I will not spend money in coming to the UK even if you have 100% school fees. The home office have mandated MAC to look into graduate visa with intent to discontinue 2 years post graduate work permit.

Well it your money and your decision. I remember warning people to apply pause in to the UK thing but now they are here with reality of every day policy somersault.

Ah, the government had the audacity to inform us mere mortals that there are insufficient funds to continue defending the naira, as if we weren't already aware of their incompetence. Instead, they've decided to squander 24 billion naira on funding hajj, evidently prioritising their own agendas over the welfare of the nation. Typical government mismanagement, I dare say.

hi which state are you resident in?

Lagos Nigeria

Hello doc, my mum is in her seventy’s and has been diagnosed of glaucoma and cataract. So , we are of the opinion she does the cataract surgery to see what progress we would have achieved. With this, could you kindly point to us a good hospital where she can have the surgery performed? She is currently scared of going through the surgery due to stories of those who got blind after surgery.Thank you

I asked you a question..cos I see you are still search for job despite arriving Manchester two months back which affirms what the opp pointing out.

There is job but u are asking for list of agencies one knows off. Which means you have exhausted the ones you know of
We just hate the truth.


My advice is for anyone coming now to hold enough cash.. House rent for 4 months at least, foods for 4 months at least plus extra cash.
Those days of seeing jobs on arrival or just few weeks are over. Now it takes an average of 3 months upwards to land a job.

And finally don't equal yourself with those that have been here for let's say 2 years.. Those can see job faster than new arrivals cos they can show the employer past UK experience which is valuable in job market. An example is in care sector. If you don't have experience now... It takes Miracle to land a job as dormicilliary care assistant

We need to sound this loud so people don't come and be stranded.

Thank you for stating the obvious fact!

I have consistently told people to apply a brief pause on the UK thing because chances of recouping your investment is becoming slimmer and slimmer. Jobs market aren’t what it used to be and schools too are no longer lenient.
If you must come to UK , be sure you can fund your education 100% without working 20hours. This is just the truth.

Hoelujohn:
Care job is the only way out

Well if you think so. But I will tell that route looks likely to be closed too.

I mean people should invest more time in acquiring skills that is transferable and sadly carer role isn’t. That job is modern day slavery given the new rule.No sensible human will leave his of her family behind for peanut.

Please people should calm down with paying huge resources into pursuing education into UK at this time due to uncertainties with incoming policy. 38700 income requirements is not funny and no employer will be willing to hand that money to fresh graduates. 70 percent workers in the uk don’t earn 38700 yearly let alone a fresh graduate.

Why not put that money in training in IT or study in less competitive environment with better prospect that will get you job. Or pursue nursing in Nigeria and pass IELTS before coming to UK.
The EU will very soon open talent pool that will attract skills all around the world which obviously includes nurses, we should prepare our self in such route.

Lastly citizenship are easier to acquire in EU than UK and their rules are more stable.

[quote author=raskymonojendor post=127219764][/quote]Can you please point to me outside Lagos and Abuja where non indigene participate in general elections? Thank you

Iamzik:
Chief carry your contribution and go back to your state....such arrogance!

There is no eastern state that gives land for free. Your lands are the most expensive to buy among all tribes. You are not liberal with visitors or as welcoming to visitors so why would others feel comfortable to migrate to your state?

If there is a declaration for all Igbos to go back home today, I assure you that even the poor Igbos without property will refuse to go back home. You don't like each other how much more visitors.

Your pride and supremacist mindset will be your Achilles heel eventually. The poser asked a simple question -how many haisas or yorubas are commissioner or senior civil servants in Igbo land compared to Igbos holding those positions elsewhere. You think they gave you those positions because of your "contribution"?

May be it's time for you to carry your contribution and go back to your state

Aside Lagos, can you please point to any south west state that has Lagos indigene in their cabinet? Thank you.

wirinet:
Even though I know Reno is seeking attention from Tinubu, what he is saying is the exact sentiment of most Nigerians including yours truly. Igbo society is very hostile to outsiders. They don't accommodate foreigners in their lands, politics and even business. They don't encourage others to do business on their lands. They are even hostile to other igbos from other states and clans. It's in igbo land that you see an igbo woman married to an indigene of a state being referred to as an outsider and not worthy of a political appointment in that state. In igboland a man whose patents are from Abia but was born and bread in imo would not be allowed any appointment in imo, not even into the civil service.

Igbos have to change that attitude, if they want to build a fast developing progressive society. No society develops by isolating itself.

could you kindly furnish supporting evidence, whether in the form of videos or links, illustrating instances where fellow Nigerians encountered impediments in establishing businesses within Igbo land or experienced unjust practices from hosts?

However, it is imperative to comprehend the intricacies surrounding land transactions in Igbo land, shaped by cultural norms. I posit that the perceived hindrance may often stem from individuals neglecting the diligence required in navigating the prescribed procedures. To elucidate, employing myself as an illustration, I would initially inform my immediate nuclear family regarding the intention to sell land, in case any siblings express interest. Should no familial interest materialize, I would then extend the proposition to the broader family (kindred). Failing to secure a buyer within this circle, I would subsequently advertise to the general public, at which point, irrespective of nationality or ethnicity, anyone could engage in the purchase.

Chinjo2:
Nigeria should write formerly to the Finish government and if nothing is done, they should take the matter to the United Nations Security Council.

You too dey rate Nigeria

After realising we have more stupid people in Nigeria, since then I made the decision to japa.
I made the decision since 2015.

Who advised Nigerians to vote Buhari? Is it not same tinubu?

Reno omokri your head is paining you!

ACRI:
A disappointment of a professor....

In the steps of PO, this guy is using government funds for missionary schools while he neglects state owned/run government schools for unknown reasons.


PO defunded government hospitals and was funding Regina Caeli and others.....
It was NGOs like FHI, TCI, Unicef, WHO-EU that reformed the health sector in that state during Obiano.

Some black men have dark hearts sha

Why not try and understand the rationale behind the gesture? Obi started it continued by obiano and now soludo doing the same thing.
The success is there for all of us to see.

For the hospital, most government owned are often embezzled reason why he put the money in hospital owned by the church. It worked.

plaindealer:
Governor dey dash religious people taxpayers money like nothing, imagine that huge amount with zero spending approval by the legislature and the people are rejoicing and praising the thoughtless man.

The crazy things they do in that part of Nigeria

I think people like you attacking this gesture should first ask how education works in anambra state before you begin criticism.
Education sector in anambra have different model to achieve success and one of them is directly funding mission schools so that the citizens can attend such school at minimalist cost.

Please note, most schools in anambra is owned by mostly religious organisations.

pharmagba:
His reforms are the most brilliant and audacious in the history of Nigeria. It shows he is a patriot and a true beliver in the greatness of Nigeria

I am proud to be supporting him.
I fell for the deception of Obidents earlier only to discover is is based on hatred for the nation they claim they want to lead. Blinded by selfishness instead of patriotism. Moreover Obidents think opposition is reckless and unwise hatred ( critism does not come to their action and comment), pull down at all cost syndrome, even praying ( I'm sure it's to the devil because God does not answer evil prayers) for his failure,.
Even Obi cannot fault any of his decisions, he has been reduced to congratulating every South Easterner that makes headline in order to remain relevant.
Do.

In all this President Tinubu has shown focus, tenacity and capacity, in all his action

you think floating of the Naira was a smart move?
At least evidence of floating of the Naira is stirring us in the face

uvie66:
it is wrong in its entirety, if you japa today and job vacancies are restricted to the citizens the country only, how will you feel.

There are jobs restricted for only citizens.
Most jobs abroad that are opened to foreigners is because they lack the numbers to man the establishment.
All of you condemning soludo especially those from yoruba state should condemn tinubu first.

teadrake:
Well, since you asked a question then I'll try and provide answers to them. Quite a reasonable number of Igbo including other tribes are gainfully employed by the Kano State government; Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital, Abdullahi Wase Teaching Hospital, and even Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital where I'm currently working. If you want evidence, I can give it to you

How many doctors or other medical professionals are from the north?

I dare the north to chase the Igbo out of their hospitals and watch people die.

On the other hand I don’t support what soludo did but again Nigeria is full of tribalism even championed by the government of the day.

Reno who spotted the anomaly have lost his voice over tinubu nepotism but on full throttle to attack anything igbo.

sotall:

I dont really understand Nigeria electoral laws.

Why is this judgement opposing the presidential judgement.

For the presidential judgement, a petition was struck out because the petitioner is not a member of the party and the petition is about intra party matter.

But this one is also intra party, why is this being used?

I swear I am more confused than you. I don’t even know which of the constitution that is correct. Every judge have different interpretation of the constitution. Abi should Nigeria constitution be rewritten in our local language for better understanding?

kaymart:
He won't be listened to.
He is just a dependant for the wife so he has no case.
His dependency status has been withdrawn, he will be deported.
He has succeeded in using his resources to get the wife to a better place. He was just a place holder....
A tool used to get from point A to point B and how he's no longer useful. He has served his purpose and to be discarded like thrash

Do they have kids together? If yes, let him explore that route. He can’t stay away from his kids due to divorce. He will have same visa dependent visa status as his kids

Dshocker:
Nothing concerns US, this is an internal affair, and the whole world knows that Putin was behind their elimination.

Imagine no USA , many countries would have treated their citizens has slaves.

DesChyko:
Can you be objective here? On what basis did you make the comparison? Are you using what you know now Vs what you know then to examine both years?

Pray tell, how did you come to this conclusion?

Look at the past questions of the 90s and now.

tunjijones:
What was her jamb score?

Children are smarter now o. My nephew that the father just said he shd try GCE in SS1 na so the boy get 4As oooo. In SS1.

He did jamb in SS2 that is this year and he got 339 to study medicine in uni lag. If you guide Ur children properly from a very tender age, they turn out to be outstanding but most parent no care abt their children academics na money dem they chase up and down.

I beg to differ.

The exam questions are not as hard as before.

saintrow1:
if you have sense you will no that every country on earth borrow to finance war. ODE
by the way this is not Nigeria going to war, its ecowas but because of your hate to make Nigeria look bad by all means, you eboes keep mentioning nigeria and tinubu. una still go cry last, as usual its in your dna to labour in vain.

You sound very empty gosh!

What economic or societal benefits does waging a war bring this time?

You have zero IQ!

Let put it like this maybe at the end you thank me.


If you are a family man facing financial constraints that hinder your ability to fulfill your obligations as a father and meet your responsibilities, you may often resort to borrowing to bridge the gaps. In this context, if your neighbor in the adjacent compound is experiencing marital issues, would you willingly involve yourself in their disputes? It is important to consider that intervening in your neighbor's situation could incur additional costs, which you would need to borrow in order to restore harmony. Given your existing financial challenges.

Hope you know what to do.

saintrow1:
Out of over 300 tribes/ethnicities in Nigeria, why is it that the eboes are the one crying about Niger republic, the level of eye service needs to be investigated.

A country who can’t finance his budget without borrowing has no business fighting a war with his neighbour especially when the don’t pose any threat or danger.

Penguin2:
Watch as the brainless idiotic fools who have always hailed Orji Uzor Kalu as the best human being out of southeast will come here now to call him IPOB.

Very idiotic filthy things that have no brain of their own except rehashing what they are told to say in their WhatsApp group like robots.

The north have said they don’t want war.

Afenifere is not supporting war.

Ohaneze is not supporting war.

Pandef and MiddleBelt Forum have not said they support war.

The senate has said no to war.

Majority of young Nigerians across social media have said no to war.

Only infantile fools who can’t see beyond their noses are urging Tinubu to invade Niger.

Ndi ala!

Tinubu is going to war Niger only for one single reason.

With Tinubu's election being branded as fraudulent by both EU and US reports, his intention to gain legitimacy for his government in the eyes of the West becomes even more evident. He seems willing to go to any lengths to fulfill their expectations, presenting himself as a compliant ally, even in the face of Nigeria's challenging economic circumstances, which he appears unconcerned about.

Alex1975:
Have confirmed this? Did you see it on the Danish website?

I encourage people to look in the direction of Europe instead of UK.

What many don’t know is that, it easier to obtain European passports than that of the UK. A lot of countries in Europe are experiencing labour shortages.

Hi folks,Denmark is having labour shortage and changing their policy to allow flow of migrants workers outside the EU. Also allowing students to stay three years to look for work.

Uk with uncertainty is not a place to throw in huge money now. History about how they treat international students is something to be worried about.

Rishi Sunak is facing demands from “red wall” Conservative MPs to slash the number of overseas care workers, foreign students and refugees allowed into the UK in time for the next election.

The MPs from the 2017 and 2019 intake, who call themselves the New Conservatives, have issued a 12-point plan to cut net migration to Britain from 606,000 to 226,000 before the end of 2024.

They include the Tory party deputy chair Lee Anderson, the backbencher Miriam Cates and the Ipswich MP, Tom Hunt, all usually considered to be loyal to the prime minister.

The pressure follows party anger over official figures released in May that showed that total long-term immigration was at a record high of 1.2 million people while emigration was 557,000. The rise had been largely fuelled by people from outside the EU entering the UK to study, work or escape conflict or oppression.One red wall source said that Tory MPs in the north of England had been “hammered on the doorsteps” over immigration. “We promised a lot in 2019 about taking back control of our borders and time is ticking,” the source said.

Measures put forward by the New Conservatives include closing temporary schemes that grant eligibility for worker visas to “care workers” and “senior care workers” in order to reduce long-term inward migration (LTIM) by 82,000.

They also propose stopping graduating overseas students from staying on in the UK for up to two years to find work and extending the closure of the student dependent route that allows a student’s family members to access the jobs market. These two measures could cut LTIM by 125,000, the report claims.

The MPs advocate only allowing in skilled workers who earn £38,000 a year or more. This could reduce long-term inward migration by 54,000 people a year, they claim.

The measures have been criticised by experts for being over-simplistic and for being potentially damaging to the economy.

In the report, MPs tell Sunak that a promise to reduce immigration formed a key plank of Boris Johnson’s 2019 victory, when the Tories made sweeping gains in former Labour heartlands, the so-called red wall seats.

“Without swift action to get migration under control, the Conservative party will further erode the trust of hundreds of thousands of voters who lent the party their vote in 2019,” the report said.

The group also says the post-Brexit system has been “too lenient” and is not working, saying that “mass migration is having destabilising economic and cultural consequences”.

Another subsidy.

Make we just dey play!
