At this point, I think the western countries especially France have a hand in these coups happenings in francophone west Africa. Or at the least, they aren't deploying their intelligence network to leak possible take overs.

France has a hand in coups ushering in military leaders that severing the country's relationship with france and turing to russia/china?

HustlaOfLagos:
Immigration levels have dropped to the lowest since 2021

it is said that 693K people left the UK, highest number in a century but the same issue still exist.

Now what?

Well, some people here said migrants will still stay even if they are told to wait 20 years. Enough said, we will find out next year if the rule is implemented as is.

Interestingly illegal migration and asylum seeker on government support is up.

Unemployment is up, taxes are up, pressure on the welfare budget is up, homelessness is up, government borrowing is up...yet legal migration which is blamed for it by the politicians is sharply down.

Regardless expect the tories and reform to continue the onslaught on migrants being the cause of the problems in the country

stardeejay2:
Good day guys,

Please can someone advise me on how best to reply to this mail from UKVI?

I'm a partner+4kids. Wife left in September 2025.
I submitted 28 days POF with 70m. The request will obviously show where the lump sum entered.

Thanks


Guys you won't believe it, the email address that I am to respond to was wrongly written. I just got the correct one here now.
Thanks

You need to be able to explain with evidence where the lump sum came from.

Probably pushed up by the 10s of millions paid as ransom to kidnappers who have increased their activity

Even if Canada and Australia wanted or managed to "poach" over 600k HCA (including dependants), the UK could simply open up a new care visa route - this time they could make it very strict from the outset e.g. no dependants, 20 years to ILR or no route to ILR, and it's almost guaranteed that the route would be oversubscribed in less than 1 week and from the very same countries that rushed it the first time around.

You overestimate the UK's appeal. Immigration already fell by more than 50% with the little changes.

The problem with the current situation is that many have already invested a lot financially and socially and are in a delimma moving and potentially having time and money spent as wasted or staying and taking the hit.

Even the current rule if implemented as is, will lead to a sizeable remigration of the current in coming years for sure.

The UK isnt Dubia and the health care jobs are not as fanciful and well renumerated as people seem to think. Most people settled for it for the ILR, that is an open secret. There are not many who genuinely did a £30k Masters so they can work long hours on minimum wage in care. Some even paid a further £10s to land shoddy COS with no shifts. It's not the pay or the job that attracted them.

You strip the ILR or make it very distant, except the conditions of the job is significantly improved (which the councils cannot currently afford), they will stuggle to fill the roles with immigrants once the current pipeline dries up.

HustlaOfLagos:
I admire your optimism

The optimism will drop even further once Rachel Reeves announces higher levies for migrants in her budget next week.

Reform has already started banging on about it, so you can expect Labour to weave it into the budget as well.

babajeje123:
That stuff won't make any difference.

It's a done deal already, maybe small changes to appease the left of the party.

Interestingly, there is still about 3 years before the next GE, so there are likely still more punitive changes to come targeting migrants.

Migration and migrant-blaming are an election winner in Reform's election book, and Reform will milk it for everything they can get in the polls. Expect Reform to throw some more jabs soon and expect Labour to follow suit.

Zahra29:
Yes, the discount applies to public sector workers in RQF 6 occupations

Top rate tax payers (> £125,140) can now qualify for ILR after 3 years, same as GTV holders.

Public Funds:

Using public funds for >12 months: Plus 10 years.

Using public funds for <12 months: Plus 5 years.

The rule seems like common sense which is fine, and it’s fair in theory. But the reality is that many people on the lower salary scale aren’t there by choice.

The restrictive nature of their visas constrains them, so penalising them for not earning more, while effectively tying one of their hands behind their back is incredibly unfair.

The country does itself no favours by restricting the economic and earning potential of people on visas.

God bless Mazi Nnamdi kanu

On what basis is Kanu not guilty? Go and replay his various speeches during his hay days.

He deserves it well. Turned the East to a wild, wild west place thing with his militant and inciteful statement.

Long overdue!

Na the president dey control the bandits?

What is the usefulness of the GCFR he calls himself if he cannot control banditry?

He better go back to bordillion and continue his baba isale work if he cannot keep nigerian safe

What if FIFA decides to sanction Countries that will participate

Clubs wont event release players to play it.

Axis313:
Even if na true,na for group stage our dear super eagles go comot.

The premier league or other major league clubs will not release players for a non-FIFA-sanctioned event.

Not only will they be playing a losers league, they will have to play with non-league players

Eberex:
Does it matter? Girls have been kidnapped and all you are interested in is if it was a Christian place? tofiakwa

It relevent in the context of establishing that these attacks of primarily of a religious nature and targeted at minorities.

Even the brigadier general that was ambushed and killed was likely for same reason. He was likely betrayed by his own rank and file and executed for being of a different religion/ethnicity.

Until we appreciate the motivation for the violence, it can never be solved.

Only second to China! Brazil is the host, so should not be counted.

The government know how to spend on frivolities...no more to spend on security, lecturers, doctors but enough money to send almost 1,000 delegates for a conference in an area in which Nigeria's involvement is almost zero?

It is well with Naija

Let me save today's date
Oya make una continue una good-generous acts, it doesnt go unnoticed - @Ticha@Lexus@Solumtoya@ukay2@Jedisco@skemmy etc

Not a guru, but this is what I can tell you:

threshold for SDL was reduced to 300K this year fot FTB.

Ajo may create issues for you when solicitors run AML checks on your bank account.

Currently ISA earn bonus max 1k a year for max 4k added each year. There are age restrictions.

Shares and stock ISA riskier than cash ISA as it mirrors stock market performance.

All the best

Streetinvestor2:
Abeg to real investors now that CGT issue has been resolved to high margin. How long do u guess it will take market to get Back whr it was before it began to paint red.If those who come to play short time in the market not daily traders then cash out decide to pull out.It will not make difference in the market. The government does not really recognise them as investors. They see the market as bet for cash out so what ever percentage they pay for cash out is no longer our business. IF they succeed in any percentage reduction good for them.Even betnaija is not cheap and comes with alot of risk.

Will it take another 2 weeks to get back whr reached,less or more is what I am looking out to see.So I will take yesterday as starting point
We watch and see

At least 3 insurance stocks were on full bid today! Not sure there could be any better signs of recovery.

mikeapollo:
What he did was not to provide clarification. He was forced to change his mouth and backtrack from his earlier position.
He had earlier insisted that the law would be applied retrospectively and also dismissed the concerns of local and international investors at a meeting organized by SCB

I also recall this...but he denied it on Channels TV claiming it was to be based on Dec 2025 position.

mikeapollo:
How is paying CGT of 25%-30% CGT reasonable?
Are you saying the reaction of the whole capital market that rejected it was wrong or unreasonable?

Exemption at portfolio of N150M or less which he said is over 90% of the market participants according to him.......no CGT payable at all.

For larger holder many groups are exempted including PFAs, REIT and others..also loss can be carried forward use to offset gain.

Third, the based period is Dec 2025.

This sounds reasonable in my opinion. Personally the only issue is that makes CGT higher than CIT (@25% in the new tax act) but the exemptions are quite broad

I think the capital market reaction was driven by a lack of clarity which he has now provided

..double post

Streetinvestor2:
Why should I accept to pay anything when the law has created exemption for investors.Not going to happen

The law is reasonable in my opinion, but he should have been proactive in clarifying the small details.

In his conversation with Channels TV, he claimed he had provided details to key investors over several Teams call.

As someone who only recently left consulting he likely has minimal stake in the equities market due to potential conflict of interest checks they do for new clients.

His handling of the issue has been very naive

Taiwo Taiwo!!

Why did he have to wait for the market to take a beating over several days before providing clarification on the law.

This is why younger people are not investing. The NSE trading like a crypto coin!

ussv:
He could have asked for a copy of her birth certificate, she does not look 21 in that picture, my opinion though. We have seen obviously underaged children voting with legit voters card in this country, no be today.

If the voter ID card issued by FG cannot be trusted, why would the birth certificate issued by the same FG be any different?

He confirmed her age using a recognised government ID, he has no case to answer....I dont think there is any law stopping him from marrying a 17 year old regardless in Nigeria, else many politicians in the North would be in prison.

very barbaric. Nigeria needs to change

Streetinvestor2:
Make ASI they decieve some people. Some stocks are racing south like village people they push the thing. AsI is never true reflection of ngx

Mine has been taking a beating now for like a week....just when I planned to take some profit.

Is there something next week that can move the numbers upward?

Is it Donald Trump turning the NSE red, or is something else happening?

Some stocks have very low volume traded.

dollytino4real:
ok. We don't have plenty tins sef. Only our clothes dat os plenty

If you dont have much properties or they are easily moveable, much easier to deal with bedbugs.

Just take them out and eliminate it checking the edges and lining of each property and handpicking. Insecticides alone does not easily eliminate bedbugs but you also need to consider heavy use of insecticide could endanger your health.

It is unfair to sale bedbug ridden materials to others as some advised.

Once the room is emptied of its content, you can spray camphor and insecticides around the corners and edges and leave for a day or two.

That should cause the bedbug population to collapse so it cant reproduce at scale.

To further reduce surviving bedbugs, get bedbug traps. They are like sticky rat traps but have phernomes that attract bedbugs.

dollytino4real:
Pls fam wat can i use to eradicate these evil blood sucking demons, i heard sniper is 5k now i don't have dat money, pls any home made remedies like DIY, during the day time i don't see one but at nite they bite hell out of us seriously, pls is serious not joke

You have to take each item outside one after the other and treat seperately. You will not eliminate bedbugs by spraying chemicals indoor alone.

NotSidestory:
Hello pls since I graduated I have been working at a filling station as a fuel attendant. The job I s time consuming as there is no day off as everday is a working day failure to attend will cause deduction and insult from top officials.

It makes me feels bad when I stand in front of the machine everyday. I think about my statue. We sweep the floor everday passers by threw papers food remains and any sort of thrash and we picked it up ., Mop glasses the filling machine someday.some time a costumer may insult you or see you ass a cheat over small mistakes. This make me feel depressed sometimes as It is hard to tell my friends what I do now for a living pls any advice for me for motivation 😢

Starting from the bottom is not an issue in my opinion, but doing a job that you believe you are overqualified and demands so much time and commitment that you are not able to plan and execute your next move is a problem

olayinka63:
Emir of Gwoza who was a critick of Boko Haram was also killed. He was a Muslim. Yes, Christians lives in Gwoza but Muslim also lives too. They killed Muslims in Gwoza too. In fact a lot. Stop reporting one sided

Did they also burn 85% of mosques in Gwoza?

Obviously for islamic extrimist, they will also pick a score with any muslim they believe is not supporting their hardline agenda, but it is plain stupid to deny the fact they the violence is primarily targeted at non-muslims.

Salewa97:
How many passports have been seized unlawfully before now?

The narrative is just too one sided.

Akpabio had his reasons

pause to think before you speak sometimes, would help you in life
