Highlighted was true from when they stopped PSW from 2010 intakes
I experienced it and so did many who studied after 2010...if you got interviewed then told them you needed sponsorship they'd ghost you.
All the non EU students in my set returned home or did another Phd to get sponsorship through their HEI. Though a few Indians and Pakistanis already had jobs through family business so they ALWAYS passed the labor test

You see those ones dem sabi the system wella, I watched a documentary on GB news days ago where it was alleged that those kebab shops are just bringing in and sponsoring skilled workers steady 😂 the argument was when did working in a kebab shop become a high skilled job 😂

Omo Trump na baba weray.

Nobody don get rest for civil service since Trump resume for him second term.

is he not fulfilling the will of God again? abi tory don change

Goodenoch:
A year ago I'd have disagreed very vehemently with you but I've increasingly seen that my situation (sponsored right out of school and sponsored again by another organisation in a much more senior role a year later) and those of quite a few people I know, may have been outliers.

It seems the system now, deliberately or inadvertently, strongly funnels immigrants into care work even when they are very qualified for other roles.

In any case, I still strongly believe people can and should continue to actively make efforts to move to professional roles, but yes I acknowledge it's easier said than done.

All the best to everyone.

It’s been so for a while now I remember lamenting about it here a while ago, even when there were still over a million jobs vacancies organisations simply looked away despite tons of readymade graduates in the country. These graduates were made to feel they were the problem. Honestly the COS scam wouldn’t have been this bad if the system valued graduates and professionals more.

Raalsalghul:
I remember when I said something similar along these lines at the bolded.

Even the CARE visa don hard to get now.

You need a special kind of smartness to be able to navigate and succeed in the U.K

I was the one you even quoted 😊 simply put the Boris wave as they call it is over. We’re now in the Trump wave, even Canada PR is getting harder now. The home pilot caregiver route for even residents already in Canada was filled up within 3 hours of opening the portal. Some people were still typing up their submission and could no longer apply. Options are getting limited now. Not only the Uk

Zahra29:
As far as they are concerned, it's been handled:
- Over 450 sponsorship licenses have been revoked
- The care visa route has been tightened through CQC regulations, etc
- A new policy is being rolled out to support and prioritise the employment of displaced workers who have lost their sponsorships.
- Enforced guidelines to ensure that firms do not pass on sponsorship costs to candidates
- Prevention of CoS abuse through widespread messaging on the illegality of paying/being made to pay for a job.

Will Scotland Yard chase "Dr" Kelvin across the ocean to bring him to justice? No. At the end of the day, they see it as Nigerians scamming Nigerians, Africans scamming Africans, Pakistanis scamming Pakistanis and so on. If many of the fraudsters or victims were white English, perhaps there would be a more robust police response.

Affected individuals could unite and seek to bring a civil lawsuit against the "Dr" and other fraudsters to recover their funds, I'm sure there is a wealth of evidence to support their claims

Unfortunately this is true especially when I also remember the pastor Tobi issue.

The complicated thing again is that both the giver and taker are liable. At worst the Dr could just be struck off from the medical profession. The true antidote is just for people to stop paying for COS but will people listen?

AndSunGorilla:
Aina injured. Hoping it's not long term. He fellow down without anyone near him.

I wonder why he didn’t start from the bench like his colleagues in Fulham, the coach should have done better. These boys have been playing too many games in days!

Arap:
This is the unpleasant reality for corporate roles nowadays.

I had my share of this unpleasant situation today. I have been with the NHS for 20 months; started as a B5, progressed to B6 and recently secured a B7. I received the sad news today that the new Trust would not be able to sponsor for a finance role because there is no funding.

It is really unreasonable to deny a qualified candidate visa sponsorship because of £2k when the pay for that role is 25x the Immigration skills charge. Applicants should be the one complaining about the £4k visa and IHS fee, not the employer.

The only hope I have now is for my current employer to make good their promise of 1 year ago to sponsor my visa, otherwise, my friends who have been advising me to leave career and pursue care visa would say "We told you"

hope this is in black and white or documented? If not you have to begin to consider alternatives or options to remain legal in the uk

She’s trying to get the attention of the president but how many conflicts will the president step into? Rivers state is there and many other states with their political crisis.

It’s high time Nigerians and politicians themselves grow up and stop making local matters become national issues

TheGoodJoe:
Annoying how this so accurately fits as a reply to my post.

Coachee sef Dey soak up knowledge from your post na 😂

Napoleon55:
Aina, Iwobi, Ndidi, Chukwueze, Simon. They all appear as good choices, but can u trust them to deliver when we really need them?

Aina is my choice the others you listed here Never lai lai, please don’t go there!

dentalux:
Today, I just want to share with you what happens in the UK job market. People here should stop blaming people who decide to go for care visa without trying professional jobs.. The truth is the spirit of labour market test is still in place. My flatmate mate got a job within the civil service and resumed. When it came to the issue of sponsorship the Labour market test was applied on him. He was told he could not be sponsored and that the role is not a hard to fill role and could be sourced from the UK labour market. He showed me the letter which i read.. This is just to tell someone looking for sponsorship. Pray for direction what works for A may not work for B. even if the company has a license. .

This is even beyond sponsorship, not trying to raise an alarm but looks like there’s a silent trend going on underground to begin to even deny ethnic minorities career opportunities. No thanks to the demonisation of DEI in America which is beginning to creep in here unnoticed as organisations have no choice than to dance to the tune of the so called Global powers. No matter where you are and what status there is need to be open minded and keep your options open even outside the uk. Even the streets like we say in naija are not smiling! My thoughts, experience and observations which may differ from other peoples’ views and experiences.

Napoleon55:
3 excellent players in a team is not only enough to get decent results, but enough to win tournaments even,having up to 5 is a plus.

But do we really have up to 3 excellent players in our team we can rely on at all times.
We have Osimhen, Lookman maybe, who else makes them 3.


This is my ideal of 3 excellent,or top class players in our team.

SA 2013
Mikel,Enyeama, Moses.

Atalata '96
Kanu,Babayaro,Okocha/Oliseh
Taribo/Okechukwu

USA'94
Amokachi,Oliseh, Amuneke/Finidi
Okocha/Siasia

Tunisia '94
Rashidi, Oliseh, Finidi.

I’ll sneak in an Aina but once one of them is having an off day just forget it!

Meanwhile wetin be dis 😆😆😆😆

Be like say God wan pick your call Coachee 😜 but if you no change your lawyer e go change am for you again 😂

dubaiprince:
Thank you, I will give this a try today

Just a suggestion, you already have an appointment why don’t you wait to attend that first, going on the contactless app might amount to double application unless if there’s a feature on the app that recognises an existing application. Just my thoughts

Dlandisgreen:
Panic for where? I believe he anticipated this situation by moving to the US on a Green Card visa late last year.

😂 see levels but this could be related to the fact that he also have a start up domiciled in the US. Dude has learnt really well from politicians!

Good precedence, when it happens other way round, this will be a very good reference for prompt compliance

chrisooblog:
I hear what you say it's about the flexibility for [b][/b]me. Had we converted all our numerous chances against Equitorial Guinea last AFCON and beat them with a wide scoreline maybe JP would have stuck with that particular formation.

Yes player profile matters but I think against the lesser opposition we should be dominating with overwhelming attacking threat that by the time you hammer them 3-4 goals it wouldn't matter if they get the odd goal. Except for the madness that was the Sierra Leone game under Rohr

Nigeria against African opponents hardly concede more than 1-2 goals which to me is more of a attack than defense issue.

The Zimbabwe game yes the away team had their chances but we at least had about 5-6 chances on target. If we had a conversion rate of even just 50% it wouldn't have mattered if Zimbabwe got the odd goal.

We should be dominating against lesser opposition you say but we aren’t cos we think we have the personnel but we don’t in reality. The way the Zimbabweans were even so comfortable knocking the ball around as if they were the home side says a lot about the profile of our team. If we are honest we don’t have more than 3 excellent players, most are just average at best. Though 3 excellent players in a team can be enough to get decent results but once one or two are marked out it becomes more difficult.

I checked him on LinkedIn and I had to wonder why he’d sacrifice a wonderful career for quick money.

The uk is a conservative society if one is not content and is too greedy ending up as a scammer is so easy

Mujtahida:
How the Afcon team of Peseiro was tagged boring is a mystery to me. Bro go and watch our matches from the second round. My goodness. Quick, hot football.

We weren't scoring high but we played well and our defense was water tight. Abi na to score 4 and concede 3 be exciting football?

And then maybe we overestimate ourselves oo thinking this thing is easy. E no easy oo.

Okocha said that when they won Afcon in 94, they thought it'd be easy to win it again. Whosai, they didn't win it again.

No African team has gotten to the semifinals of Afcon more than the eagles which shows how exceptional we are and how difficult Afcon is. Even Egypt with all their fanciful play and number of Afcon trophies still Dey collect wotowoto. It takes big heart from coaches and players to win Afcon. It’s no tea party. Let CAF even throw invitations to one or two European teams make dem try their luck omo dem no go find am easy. I thought mikel was overestimating Afcon when he said it’s like winning the champions league now I know better.

Mujtahida:
By now we would have perfected it. We got the first glimpse of the suitability of this formation for our team when Rohr first deployed it in the friendly against Argentina. We came from 2 goals down to soundly defeat them 4-2. Instead of Rohr to continue with it, he chickened out and our Russia 2018 is best forgotten.

Peseiro started with other formations right into the first match of Afcon 2023 but we were leaking goals. The man became pragmatic, adopted the 5-3-2 and our team took to it like a duck to water. Defense was tight. Midfield was solid with Onyeka doing the heavy lifting. In attack Osimhen was pressing and Lookman was doing the damage.This was how we got to the finals and we'd have won it but for exhaustion.

After Afcon, Finidi decided to change the set up and reinvent the wheel. Everything fell apart. We collect woto woto.

The same thing will happen to Chelle. I don talk am unless he realizes that our attack is not the only thing about our football. We must be tight at the back.

This is why I never fancied his appointment but everyone got carried away with champagne football. The first half against Zimbabwe was not too tight we committed too many players forward but for poor Zimbabwe we should have conceded. It was our early goal in Rwanda by osihmen that deflated the Rwandans, osihmen tried an early blinder in uyo but the Zimbabwe keeper was alert. This team is not resilient enough and the coach needs to tweak his strategy if not we’ll continue to leak goals. We need robust players again in the mould of onazi or more players like Onyeka to hold down that middle, all these Nwaneri he’s pursuing in London is not the solution o!

Trump would not like this.

😂 He can only rant, dem no send am

😂 France no wan try the rough play America Dey play, allow far rights rule your country na one chance!

BankyGee:
Not just the formation, we should have continued with Peseiro himself... The confidence and form was already evident in the team, changing coach scattered the whole AFCON form and morale.

💯 Thank God no be only me Dey talk this thing!

chrisooblog:
Bad performances don't always remain static. If you judge a team's future performance strictly on past awful results then we might as well pack it in and not support any team because I'm sure every fan has a story to tell.

Even when we had good results we judge the team and say the coach and team are boring and can’t go far so is it when we have poor results we should be confident? Both good and bad results Nigerians will always judge

Elon has been fighting depression for years.

History have it that men that vanguards global change concerning mankind, usually walks tru a very narrow and stressful path.

He also mentioned that I currently has 17 jobs (DOGE inclusive) and that he is over-stretched.

He would resign from Trump's role in May, and hopefully be able to concentrate on Tesla declining issues and save it.

He is nice, humble and a great man.

No be him go carry overload? He shouldn’t resign o, let him continue 😂

Once d three points is deducted,my only fear are d games against Rwanda 🇷🇼 and Benin 🇧🇯 at home

do4luv14:
No dey report those super chickens club goals again biko

Only V.Osimhen is allow here, be warned ooo

😂 I agree, it’s really annoying banging goals in Europe but can’t even hit the bar against Zimbabwe. Until I see them banging goals on the Africa continent before I go celebrate anybody or anything, enough of yeye hyping. Na hype wey de show working for house we Dey celebrate now!
