Politics / Japa: 128,770 Nigerian Students Move To UK In Seven Years - Eyes Of Lagos by eyesoflagos: 7:40am On May 22, 2023
Japa: 128,770 Nigerian students move to UK in seven years

In search of better education and quality of life, a total of 128,770 Nigerian students enrolled in universities in the United Kingdom between 2015 to the end of 2022, analysis of the data obtained from the Higher Education Statistics Agency of the UK has revealed.

The number of Nigerian students has continued to grow over the years, as Nigerians try to escape the horrors of bad governance, and the disruption of academic activities by tertiary-institutions-based unions such as the Academic Staff Union of Universities, and the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, among others.

In the 2015/2016 academic year, statistics indicate that 16,100 Nigerians were enrolled in UK universities.

During the 2016/2017 session, there was a sharp decline as only 12,655 Nigerians were enrolled, with experts blaming the recession back home in Nigeria for the drop.




In 2017/2018, the number of enrolled Nigerians reduced to 10,685 while it rose marginally to 10,810 during the 2018/2019 academic session.

A total of 13,020 students were enrolled during the 2019/2020 academic session while 21,305 were enrolled during the 2020/2021 session representing a 64 per cent increase.

The latest data available by HESA revealed that 44,195 students were enrolled for the 2021/2022 session, the highest so far since Nigeria’s independence in 1960.

A breakdown of the HESA statistics shows that in the top 10 international students list, Nigeria ranked third behind China and India.

Eyes Of Lagos reports that foreign tertiary institutions and their respective countries have continued to benefit from the migration of Nigerian students to oversea institutions.

For instance, in 2021, Nigerian students and their dependants in the United Kingdom contributed an estimated £1.9bn to the economy of the UK, according to a report by SBM Intelligence.

An education activist and Programme Director, Reform Education Nigeria, Ayodamola Oluwatoyin, who had spoken to our correspondent earlier, listed poor government policies as one of the reasons Nigerians seek better opportunities abroad.

Meanwhile, The United Kingdom is set to announce new restrictions that will most likely stop Nigerian students and other nationalities studying in the UK from bringing their families over.

According to an exclusive report by The Sun UK, this crackdown will be announced this week.

To get a hold of the climbing numbers, UK ministers are said to be expected to announce the immigration clampdown on Tuesday or Wednesday.

The Sun reports that “Rishi Sunak is expected to come out fighting on immigration – pointing out they are figures he inherited as they date back to the year ending December 2022 – two months after he became PM.

“There has been an explosion in the number of people coming to Britain piggybacking on their relative’s student visa.

“Students brought 135,788 family members to Britain last year – nine times more than in 2019.

“Last year, 59,053 Nigerian students brought over 60,923 relatives.”

“We have got to get a grip,” a Tory MP told The Sun on Sunday.

Politics / Tinubu puting People In Power For 26 Years To Help His 2023 Ambition –omokri by eyesoflagos: 7:43am On May 11, 2023
Tinubu Has Been Placing People In Power For 26 Years To Help His 2023 Ambition – Omokri

Former presidential aide Reno Omokri claims that President-elect Bola Tinubu has been grooming his political ambition for 2023 since 1998.

Omokri stated that Tinubu has worked hard to place various people in high positions in order to soften his rise to power.

The former Lagos Governor, according to the media personality, has appointed judges who are currently on the Court of Appeals.

Omokri also claimed that Tinubu aided Ahmad Lawan and Femi Gbajabiamila’s political careers and helped many people become billionaires.

Omokri contended that Tinubu has prepared so well for 2023 that the Tribunal’s judges will likely treat him better than the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He wrote;

TINUBU HAS BEEN PREPARING FOR 2023 SINCE 1998. HE HAS A FORMER LAGOS COMMISSIONER AS A TOP SHOT AT INEC. HE HAS JUDGES HE APPOINTED AS GOVERNOR THAT ARE NOW IN THE COURT OF APPEALS. HE MADE LAWAN SENATE PRESIDENT AND INSTALLED GBAJABIAMILA AS SPEAKER. ONE-QUARTER OF BUHARI’S MINISTERS ARE HIS APPOINTEES.

HE HELPED THE OWNERS OF OANDO AND ALPHABETS BECOME DOLLAR BILLIONAIRES. HE HAS TURNED MANY JOURNALISTS FROM PAUPERS TO MULTIMILLIONAIRES. HE IS ON EXCELLENT TERMS WITH ARMY GENERALS AND HAS INCORPORATED FAMILY MEMBERS OF LEADERS OF OUR INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES INTO HIS PATRONAGE NETWORK.

HE EVEN ORDERED THE THEN CAN MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE SOUTHWEST TO VOTE AGAINST A FELLOW YORUBA CONTESTANT FOR THE SPEAKERSHIP IN 2011 AND INSTEAD SUPPORT AMINU TAMBUWAL BECAUSE PART OF HIS 2015 STRATEGY AGAINST THEN-PRESIDENT JONATHAN WAS TO CLAIM THAT HIS GOVERNMENT WAS ANTI-YORUBA, AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE IF THE PDP HAD A YORUBA SPEAKER. IMAGINE THAT TYPE OF MACHIAVELLIAN THINKING!

WITH HIS ADVANCED PREPARATION, THE JUDICIARY MAY EVEN TREAT HIM BETTER THAN INEC DID.

Speaking further, Omokri claimed that Tinubu learned his political tactics from MKO Abiola.

TINUBU AND GODSWILL AKPABIO BOTH LEARNT FROM MKO ABIOLA VERY WELL. WHAT MONEY CANNOT DO, MORE MONEY CAN DO. BUT TINUBU WENT FURTHER THAN AKPABIO IN THAT, APART FROM OLUSEGUN OBASANJO, NO OTHER NIGERIAN POLITICIAN HAS PERFECTED THE ART OF EMOTIONAL SUPPRESSION AND STOOPING CONQUER LIKE HIM. Makesense media reports,

INSTEAD OF INSULTING HIS INTELLIGENCE, LET US, AS PDP, STUDY IT AND OUTFOX HIM. WE SHOULD NOT BE TOO ASHAMED TO COPY HIS PLAYBOOK. THAT IS HOW YOU BECOME A CHESS GRANDMASTER. YOU SPEND MONTHS STUDYING YOUR OPPONENTS’ PLAYS. WE MUST STUDY TINUBU TO DEFEAT HIM LIKE ERDOGAN STUDIED FETHULLAH GÜLEN AND THEN DESTROYED HIS POLITICAL BASE, HE ADDED.

The Serie A’s top goalscorer hammered home at the second time of asking, ensuring Napoli’s long-awaited Scudetto party was capped with three points.

It’s ‘rascality’ – Peter Obi slams FG over allegation of treason

The Labour Party presidential candidate in the February 25 election, Peter Obi, has described the allegation of treason levelled against him by the federal government as “the height of rascality.”.

Recall that the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, had accused Obi and his running mate, Datti of inciting the public against the government, hence committing treason.

He added that the tax payers money spent on the journey could have been channelled to a more productive and impactful projects.

I committed a treasonable offense and I am in Onitsha, but my minister went and announced it in Washington. That is the waste in governance I am talking about.

“The amount it cost Nigeria to go and make that announcement in Washington, can build a block of six classrooms in a primary school.

“I am sure if you go to his village, there are so many places where children don’t have desks or classrooms. Instead of using that money to fix it, he used the money to go to Washington, just to accuse someone who lives in Onitsha of treason.

“It is rascality of the highest order and that is the reason we are calling for a new Nigeria, where things work the way it works in other climes. From there he went to London, announcing same thing. He should have invited me or come to see me.”

Gridlock: Lagos approves e-call up system for Lekki Port

The Lagos State Government has approved the deployment of an e-Call up system for the Deep Seaport, in Lekki-Epe Free Trade Zone of the state.

The measure, it was gathered is aimed at averting attendant severe gridlock often caused by articulated trucks accessing the port corridor.

The state Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, stated these at a Stakeholder’s Meeting at the weekend, which had in attendance top government functionaries from the Ministry of Transportation, representatives of Lekki Worldwide Investment Limited, Lagos Free Zone, Lekki Deep Sea Port and Messrs. Call up technologies. Makesense Pm reports,

However, on the agreed day for the ransom payment, the kidnappers, upon seeing that policemen accompanied the families of the abducted victims to the agreed location, opened fire.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, while reacting to the incident, said the policemen fired back at the hoodlums, adding that during the exchange of gunfire, the policemen shot one of the suspects dead and rescued two victims.

Hundeyin said, “Yes, I can confirm the case. Two victims were rescued and one of the suspects was killed during a gun duel with the police.

“What happened was that the kidnappers abducted the victims since March 26 and demanded N20m ransom for their release and the victims’ families negotiated to N3m.

“So, the victims’ families informed the police and we commenced investigation immediately.

“On the agreed day on April 4, the kidnappers laid an ambush as they saw the police and the police countered the ambush and killed one of them, while the rest ran away. We rescued the two victims thereafter.”

Travel / 29 African Migrants Trying To Cross To Italy Die As Boat Sinks In Tunisia by eyesoflagos: 9:27am On Mar 27, 2023
Tunisia’s coast guard recovered 10 bodies from a migrant boat which sank near the coast, the second vessel to sink within hours off Tunisia, bringing the death toll to 29, according to a security official.

Houssem Jebabli, a national guard official, said that the boat sank off the coast of Mahdia, without giving further details.

Earlier on Sunday, a human rights group said at least 19 refugees and migrants from sub-Saharan Africa had drowned off the coast of Tunisia while trying to cross the Mediterranean and reach Italy.

Romdhane Ben Amor, an official at the Forum for Social and Economic Rights (FTDES), told the Reuters news agency that the deaths also occurred when a boat carrying the refugees and migrants sank off the coast of Mahdia after a journey that started from Sfax beaches.

He said the Tunisian coast guard was able to rescue five people from the boat.

Tunisian authorities were not immediately available for comment.

Reports of the deaths came as Italy’s ANSA news agency said more than 2,000 asylum seekers had arrived on the Italian island of Lampedusa within 24 hours.

The agency described the arrivals on Saturday as a “record”.

In the last four days, at least five boats carrying refugees and migrants have sunk off the southern city of Sfax, leaving 67 missing and nine dead.

The coast guard previously said it had stopped about 80 boats heading for Italy in the past four days and detained more than 3,000 people, mostly from sub-Saharan African countries.

The coast near Sfax has become a major departure point for people fleeing poverty and conflict in Africa and the Middle East in the hope of a better life in Europe.

The latest disaster comes amid a campaign of arrests by Tunisian authorities of undocumented sub-Saharan Africans.

According to United Nations data, at least 12,000 people who reached Italy this year set sail from Tunisia, compared with 1,300 in the same period of 2022.

Previously, Libya was the main departure point for refugees and migrants.

Dele Momodu, Director of Strategic Communications for the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Council (PDP PCC), has declared Mahmood Yakubu, the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to be the worst since 1979.

Makesense media reports that the veteran journalist made this known in a post shared on his social media page while expressing displeasure over the outcome of the 2023 election.

According to Dele, the number of resources spent on the country’s election should come with near-perfect guarantees.

In his word;

THE AMOUNT OF RESOURCES THAT GO INTO NIGERIAN ELECTIONS SHOULD ORDINARILY COME WITH GUARANTEES OF NEAR PERFECTION AND WHERE IT FAILS THE INEC CHAIRMAN AND HIS TEAM SHOULD BE HEAVILY SANCTIONED… I MAKE BOLD TO SAY PROF YAKUBU IS THE WORST I HAVE SEEN SINCE I STARTED VOTING IN 1979… SO SAD AND UNFORTUNATE.

I Can’t Speak On Tinubu’s Mental Capacity

Meanwhile, Dele Momodu has stated that he is not qualified to speak on the mental capacity of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Momodu stated on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Friday that he is not a medical doctor or a psychiatrist who can diagnose the former Governor of Lagos State’s mental capacity.

The PDP chieftain went on to say that Nigerians should decide whether Tinubu is physically and mentally fit to lead the country.

Religion / Why Fire Gutted My Church – Prophet Fufeyin by eyesoflagos: 8:35am On Mar 22, 2023
Why fire gutted my church – Prophet Fufeyin

The founder and General Overseer of Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry in Warri, Delta State, Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin, has revealed why fire engulfed his church auditorium on Tuesday.

Fufeyin said the fire, which sent panic across the length and breadth of the expansive campground and destroyed properties, was nothing but the fiery anger of God. Makesense Tv reports,

The church ground is situated some kilometres shy of the popular Effurun roundabout in Uvwie Local Government Area of the state.

Speaking hours after the fire incident, Prophet Fufeyin, who confirmed the development in a video clip on his official Facebook page said that no life was lost in the incident.

The acclaimed Ijaw-born seer, said that the fire incident was orchestrated by God Himself, who had earlier given him an instruction to build a church auditorium.

Prophet Fufeyin said God’s anger over his disobedience to the instruction might have been the reason for the fire and its attendant losses.

“If I was not expecting this incident before, I would have asked God questions. God told me this thing is coming.

“The Lord had told me: ‘Go and build my house. Where you are using currently is not a church house, it is just a partner house,” he claimed.

According to him, the process of the election should be put right first before anyone could talk of the Government of National Unity.

“The first thing I want to see is that the process is right. The process through which you achieve anything is far more fundamental than what you do thereafter. Let us go back first, I am challenging the process and the declaration.

Health / Man In Germany Cured Of HIV According To New Study by eyesoflagos: 9:36am On Feb 22, 2023
Man in Germany cured of HIV according to new study

The man was studied for more than nine years following the 2013 transplant, and there is now "strong evidence" that he has been cured of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), according to research published on Monday in the journal Nature Medicine.

After getting HIV-resistant stem cells through a bone marrow transplant meant to treat leukaemia, an HIV-positive man in Germany was proclaimed to be HIV-free.

The University Hospital Düsseldorf team eliminated the patient's malignant cells and replaced them with donor cells lacking CCR5. CCR5 is the receptor that HIV particles use to infect cells to achieve HIV remission which is typically thought to be permanent. Makesense media reports

The patient stopped receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART), which keeps HIV levels under control in 2018 and has remained HIV-free ever since, according to the study.

The study, led by Düsseldorf University virologist Björn-Erik Jensen, said in a statement to Nature Medicine, "It shows it's not impossible — it's just very difficult to eradicate HIV from the body."

Although about five people have received this treatment and gotten cured, it might be a while before this is widely available.
