Congratulations to Osihmen, no surprises and I’ll keep saying he has nothing to prove to anyone. If you need him then get him. That’s all!

It’s high time JAMB is abolished and let universities continue to conduct their exams they call post jamb to decide who they want to admit

ReesheesuKnack:
I’m keeping well. Many thanks.

LOL @ defected from Labour to LibDems.

I will not be surprised.

Going through the threads here, I wonder. Some people (who were only able to ‘finally’ japa from nigeria because of ‘BorisWave’) became hugely critical of the Tories. Calling the Tories anti-immigration and racist etc… I wonder if they still feel the same with 2-tier Kier at the wheels.

Is it not same Torries led by kemi that’s proposing 15 years for ilr? 😂 abeg fear God na

Cyberknight:
Unfortunately, if they do it through primary legislation, in the form of an Act of Parliament, then the courts can't do anything about it. In the UK system Parliament is supreme and there's no scope for the Supreme Court to overturn primary legislation like what obtains in the US.
They'll also partially disapply HRA 1998 as well so no one can put forward claims in that connection.

So how many millions of people are you going to deport if they cannot get ilr, interesting times ahead. They will only create a problem that will take another legislation to handle. Everything may be set theoretically until reality hits.

Jamesclooney:
It seemed very obvious to me. From the gov POV, if you allow the 1.5m skilled workers in the system already to continue with 5yrs pathway, they would’ve missed the boat. The new applicants will be a trickle compared to all those that have come in since 2020 (Boriswave).

Best bet to stop this would be judicial review/court intervention.

I have said it earlier that only the courts can stop the nonsense

Zahra29:
Lol, if Kemi had blamed migrants for the UK becoming "an island of strangers" and other comments like "squalid chapter” of rising inward migration.... I can only imagine the amount of abuse she would have received on here. But when Starmer says it, it's quiet - I guess because he's not an "anchor baby" or descendant of immigrants.

Starmer is however receiving a lot of ongoing criticism in the media over his comments. Some of his MPs and both Labour and non Labour supporters have publicly criticised him for using language similar to Enoch Powell, and divisive and inciteful rhetoric over immigration.

Starmer surely goofed and I remember saying it here when he bashed kemi as the saviour of the western world that that was a racist slur but starmer keep getting away with these things because he’s not seen as a far right politician. I was enraged with that stupid comment of an island of strangers but that’s how the society has evolved so we will have to live with it and pray we don’t begin to see physical harm in the streets as a result of these careless and reckless statements from politicians of all political leaning. But if this is what the present generation of uk politicians have to offer now then we all should be ready to accept and collect whatever we are presented with.

Lexusgs430:
How do your people expect me to navigate some of this requirements........ 🤣😁

You think say na only Uk sabi cruise? Oya go and fulfill those requirements or stay and do business in your adopted country 😂

Santa2:
Based on current trend it seems like Farage might be the next PM, as a smart politician that he is, he is already painting Starmer as flopper referencing his initial stand on immigration in 2020 as reference, except some miracle happens like how Trump gave the Liberals a new lease of life in Canada. While I detest all that reforms stands for, I would like for them to get into power as I believe they would flop and flonder. If the current whitepaper is implemented I believe the legal migration numbers would go down and at that point they (reform) would have to look for ways to attract people in to do the work citizens wouldn't do, that oxymoron would make for a good laugh. Most skilled people are already looking at Japa 2.0/3.0 even if it just for the sake of giving them middle finger . Its really annoying when you already 3 years in on skilled work visa, with 2 years to ILR in view then you realize the goal post might soon be shifted. No be their fault sha na Naija leaders cause am. Anyways for those looking at options, You might want to look into EB2 - NIW which gives US green card without need for Job offer, The requirement is not stringent as EB-1A only that it has longer waiting times than EB 1. Of the 6 criteria for EB2, you need to show at least 3 of the criteria. Make God help all of us. God no go shame us for this Oga Charlie Land.

I just pity the health sector, expect lots of doctors, nurses and other professionals to move. Canadian and Australian recruitment agencies will be smiling to the banks soon, it’s their season 😜. I already know folks who are just one or two years to ilr getting ready to move. The demand for international transfers within multinationals will also increase, funny enough even Brits are moving too, recently in my organisation there was an opportunity for international transfers to Canada and Australia omo come and see applications even the organisation was overwhelmed. Good luck to Oga Charlie land with their arrogance o but I think the courts will halt some of those stupid things written in that white paper.

Instead of reforming tax distribution, improving social care policies and stopping illegalls arriving on small boats and restricting graduate visas to graduates from STEM courses like it's done in the USA.
Far worse; Labour is now trying in a haste to compete with reforms hardline and far right immigration policies like proposing 10yrs ILR route for all currently on skilled worker visa , however, on a desperate measure painfully.

Now - despite the fact that we have a major shortage of care workers, Labour is now going to ban the recruitment of overseas careworkers who are willing and want to do this work. I'm not sure what Labour is aiming for here, It seems they are intent on losing the next election. I can't imagine too many pensioners voting for Labour and pensioners can well determine the outcome of a general election in the UK.

It was never about illegals as they do not pose a threat anywhere, illegals are always just used as a soft and sweet spot for the rhetoric games. Those who come in legally are always the end game. Just like the US they started deporting illegals and before you know it they started cancelling student visas so it’s the same strategy. Use the illegals to drive your rhetoric and then pounce on your actual target 😂

Viruses:
Now that immigration rules have been made stricter, what will Kemi's next selling point be?

That immigrants must work 80 hours per week as an additional qualification to ilr 😂

Ikaeniyan0:
leading in what?

Tomato processing factory 😂

Hoping after all these gbas gbos we can finally rest from all the ‘immigrants are our problems and the reason we don’t have jobs or hospitals appointments rubbish’

We can only anticipate we begin to hear Brits talk more about economic productivity and getting back to work, any more finger pointing after this will just be comedy 😂

jedisco:
Trump no dey hear word.
Is he just mouthing or was this really the 'deal'

The beggar doesn’t have a choice and uk sorry to say it’s the beggar here. At all at all na im bad

Agidipie:
For those who have applied for American visa from the UK, I need assistance and opinion. I submitted my application and wants to book an appointment for interview. I was meant to visit the US on five days holiday at the beginning of September this year. I have already booked the tour and hotel which I used the dates for my visa application. while I was trying to book an appointment, I discovered that the earliest date on the calender was ending of September. Will it be okay if I reapply adjusting the dates of my travel/holiday, maybe October and November or should I keep hoping to have earlier dates for me to grab??

It actually doesn’t matter cos that’s the available date you can get. Just that in these days of Trump you can’t predict anything but this has never been an issue and am talking from experience.

Addme:
Every defection is to APC yet we condemn the party on a daily basis.
What are these politicians seeing in APC that the rest of Nigerians are not seeing?

This Jamb question, I'm not sure it has an answer

chrisooblog:
LMAO it's like you read my mind!

Ordinarily Osimhen is captain material but his short fuse coupled with poor emotional control land him in all sorts of wahala.

Should stay as a respected senior member of the team IMHO.

Imagine after that Zimbabwe match, na to tear each player one slap each abeg make we no tempt our star boy too much o

Charges that any state government can pay! make people calm down jor

"My apology letter did not admit that I breached any court order. It was a gesture of peace and reconciliation, not an acceptance of wrongdoing

Really?

solonnachi:
Osimhen should just be the next Super Eagles captain after Ekong. He deserves it.

I doubt except osihmen work more on his temper before he go slap journalist one day. Abeg leave him as our top striker for now jeje

junnyjake:
I just watched a wrestling match between Adama Traore and Calvin Bassey.

😜 the Adama guy slam bassey for ground wella

justwise:
They also cried that he did not speak English language in his first address..they are now digging up his previous posts against Trump and Vance.

In a non-English speaking country? They must be seriously deranged!

justwise:
Ignorantly though as the new Pope Leo XIV stands against almost all Trump stands for

The MAGA gang has said he’s a woke Marxist pope 😂. werey people dem

ashaju33:
Thanks for the reply.
I think one doesn't need a transit visa if you have American/Canadian visa on your passport. However, I would love to hear from people that have travelled with KLM to Nigeria with just UK evisa before I go ahead with my booking.

I know friends who have flown to Nigeria via KLM in recent months, and they had no issues, so you're good with the E-visa. Having a valid US or Canadian visa is also a valid reason. I will always encourage anyone with a UK resident visa to acquire a US or Canadian visa, as it also helps.

This is a normal thing na 😂

Debt is cleared just outstanding charges, even personal loans are like that

Sleeper agent for reform party, ouch! 😂

After Boris left, the Uk has been managed by kids until now. Trump has even tweeted that the US is about to land a deal with the Uk. All these deals thing started under the Torries govt until they were hijacked by culture war mongers and bigots. What a disgrace! Bring ideas to move the economy forward hell no but to entertain us with how many years to get ilr.

Is it not a shame that’s it’s a Labour Party landing deals with conservatives run economies like the US and India?

TheSuperNerd:
Arsenal

WHAT DOES IT PROFIT THEE TO BEAT REAL MADRID AND MAKE ALL THAT NOISE IF THOU WILT NOT BEAT PSG TO REACH THE UCL FINAL??

Na Rice without stew cause am o

comodo:
Gunners !!! Always lightweight at the final third. I no dey watch again. I keep asking the coach. Who will get you this goal No one. Even Osihmen shadow would have put some pressure on PSG defence.

Saka should have made it 2-2, but is he a striker? I don't think so

charlesemeka85:
Gunnnnners for life 😏😎

life no dey for where dem dey shoot gun o

charlesemeka85:
PSG Ultras have released their tifo for the game against Arsenal tonight.

This hate watch is gonna be generational. 😭😭🤣

They had better do the talking on the pitch, if they fall hand, Arsenal fans go cook them tire 😂

Expecting another interesting game tonight

Activism and politics is always a bad mix!

elyte89:
Omo e go tey die b4 we fit reach World Cup quarterfinals mehn let alone of winning it…although it is a club football but look at d intensity at wc d two teams played ,super eagles no go survive am at all …

Na today? 😂 when we say it takes hunger and zeal some people think say na grammar we Dey talk. We are simply not hungry enough for exceptional things

Cyberknight:
Interesting. The agreement also stipulates the same for British citizens working in India. What I'd like to find out is if the Indians coming this way under this deal will have access to the NHS on the same terms as all those who pay the full range of tax, whether permanent residents or on visas. This is not a good deal overall for the UK - reflecting the general lack of strength on their side. It'll make Indian workers proportionally cheaper to hire. I can see Reform already gearing up.

they should come up with a better plan or idea if they have any, let them show workings! like Goodenoch pointed out ‘no be by cho cho cho’ if e easy make dem run am make we see!
