South Africa remains the worst foreign policy of Nigeria ever. We threw away resources like water into a basket.
I once had a landlady who is a retired foreign affairs civil servant. She told me that when obj as a military head of state was wasting all these resources then all in the name of fighting apartheid that a uk foreign minister called obj and asked him if he knew what the consequences will be especially relations between the uk and Nigeria. It was after then immigration to the uk became more difficult for Nigerians especially in terms of job opportunities for Nigerians. South Africa was indeed bad market for Nigeria and more of a curse than a blessing. Even till today it’s still much easier to get a visa to the uk than South Africa, phew. |

saddler: Brainwashing is the only way to explain your one-way , narrow-minded and obtuse reasoning 
In 1963 Nigeria had 4 regions.
North, east, west and Midwest.
All Nigerian states that exist today were carved out from these regions.
The east now has 5 states
The west has 6
The north has 19
The Midwest has only 2.
The citizens of the Midwest should be shouting marginalization up and down. But they aren't.
Despite the Midwest being bigger than the eastern region.
One word: Greediness mentality The former east region actually now have 9 states when you add rivers, cross rivers, akwaibom and bayelsa. You’re actually right, the Midwest has actually been shortchanged If we truly restructure we may now end up with more than 10 regions instead of the scandalous 6 zones |

justwise: @All
How does this share code thing work? A family friend has been working with a care company since 2019 on spouse visa, renewed the visa twice and two months ago he applied for ILR and two weeks ago his company contacted him requesting for his share code as his visa has expired, he replied to inform them that he doesn’t have one and never worked with one, he sent them letter from HO indicating that he has applied for ILR.
The company did not get back to him but last week as he was getting ready to leave for work he saw a message from the work group platform that changes have been made to his shift, he checked and noticed that they have removed all his shifts.
He called them to find out and was told that it was because of the share code issue.
Does he have a case against this company? It's a tricky one, only the employer checking service can bail him out, if the employer checking service indicates he has a valid ILR application then he's good. But if not he can't continue in the job. I have a friend who was asked to leave his job when the employer checking service failed, meanwhile, he had a pending ILR application that was just getting to the final stage of approval, just between a concise time frame from when the employer checking failed to when he finally got his ILR approval he was asked to leave. He was only asked to return when they saw evidence of his ILR approval, meanwhile, the employer is a reputable public university. Reason I have warned some pages back that a looming crisis is brewing next year when Brps will finally expire by December. Everyone should please endeavour to have their e-visa stuff sorted out now. |

That's where we differ. We are not the same QED. "underlying causes" my boot. There’s no point bothering ourselves much, one major thing is clear before, during and after this crisis; you’re already a confirmed criminal when you run foul of the law as an immigrant before and after the crime but as a British native there are underlying causes, the earlier we accept this the better for peace to reign.

blowjohn: Why go to another country with illegal documents? Is his wife in America with illegal or false documents?
What type of reasoning is this? Don’t be fooled when they say it’s illegal immigrants they will deport, they are just trying to please their people, at the end when they discover they can’t do much about people crossing the border they now turn their focus to legal immigrants who are yet to get permanent residency. During Covid, skilled immigrants who had h1b visas were not allowed re entry into the US by the same Trump. There are lots of backlogs as we speak on residency applications due to Trump hardline stance on immigration when he was president. Look at the Uk, they started their propaganda by shouting about stopping those crossing into the country by boats, at the end of the day it was legal migrants like students, care workers and other skilled workers that were restricted either by stopping them to bring in their families or increasing the salary requirements for skilled workers meanwhile in the last one week as we speak over 700 people have crossed into the uk by boats so you see it’s all propaganda for politics to woo votes when in reality they can’t really do much on illegal immigration. it’s on record that even Obama did more deportations than Trump but Obama made no noise about it. It’s legal immigrants that always bear the brunt of all these anti-immigration propaganda. |

Cyberknight: Various reasons. Some are full-time carers. Some are women/parents who have dropped out of the workforce to raise children. Quite a few older people left work during Covid and decided to start their retirement from there. There are some who were self-employed outside IR35 and got sick of the whole IR35 thing and don't bother working (or declaring income) anymore and just do their own thing. There are also people who want to work but cannot access jobs - they may be in towns/villages where there are few opportunities but can't travel/commute/relocate to where jobs are either because they can't afford to or there is no available transport (high cost of train fares, for instance) or they have support networks they cannot leave or the tight housing market won't allow it.
The actual number of people who are the Telegraph's enemies, i.e. so-called persons on benefits who supposedly actually can work is debatable. The flexible working scheme has been in place to address some of these issues listed but still no headway |

jedisco: Well said. We just finished an election where the Reform promised zero migration among numerous freebies- why didn't they win?
I agree with the constant demonisation bit and that build up is the reason why many have taken issues with Zahra. She is well known for far right views but the parts I've taken her up on is subtle belittling of migrants. From quick memory,
My first contact with her here was when she mockingly 'warned' us that those who voted Brexit did not do that because they wanted Europeans to be replaced by 'brown and black' folks (her words). My response was reminding her that the stvpidity of Brexiters means nothing to me and their shortsightedness has been of good benefit to Nigerians which I welcome.
Next it was heaping struggles of the NHS on immigrants who in her words arrived with many untreated medical issues. Had to remind her that immigrants are overwhelmingly young and fit and would rarely visit their GP. Many are not even registered despite working in healthcare or paying more that their fair due via the IHS.
Next it was international students and how they are a drain. I had to educate that fees paid by international students are not only a lifeline of many universities but also subsidise local tuition fees.
Next it was how the NHS doesn't need migrants. Again had to remind her that a few years ago, the number of newly registered international doctors in a year surpassed new local doctors. Also, the government willfully stopped paying nursing students bursaries as it was cheaper to get oversee nurses.
Next was how the last government didn't know the care pathway was being abused in a bid to absolve them. Had to remind her stories were rampant in the media for years and that the home office issues every visa and should have a live tally of numbers issued and lastly why the care pathway had not been scrapped even after all the abuse. 
The last one was showing hypocritical concern to developing nations who loose healthcare workers. Had to remind her that Britain donated millions of it's citizens to US/Aus/Can. I wonder when they'd ask them to return.
The next, I'd guess is how the UK would stop recruiting healthcare workers from certain nations. Again I'd say, I'm surprised it took so long.
It is such subtle insults that people noticed and came to the fore with the riots and the classic 'but' game she came with. 😂 that’s why when those countries start chanting anti immigration rhetorics, I just laugh. In their own eyes they have become more native than the natives they met there. Only God can forgive all their sins. |

Treadway: I like painting scenarios.
If you were a black American, who hasn't had to convert dollar to naira mentally for years, do you believe you would be happy to take lower than minimum wage under the table jobs for example? Cos those are the jobs that Nigerians wey japa with visitor visa, or those from Mexico wey cross the border typically dey do.
I think the average black American even when shit poor, thinks he is likely better off financially than the black immigrant, cos he hasn't lived his entire life converting dollar to naira for example. All he knows is the concept of what the dollar can buy and the concept of a comfortable life based on what he can do with the dollar. The black immigrant due to his knowledge and experience from the other side, knows damn well that at all at all na im bad pass. So just like I waited a year and didn't take the 50k jobs, the 70k jobs and preferred to sit my ass at home till the one that I felt I would enjoy better and would pay what I desired came along, cos while my folks were not rich, we sha dey ok, but someone from Niger or Benin Republic with the exact same qualifications as me would happily take those jobs of the opportunity presents itself. Same with artisans, in the very recent past before balablu killed naija patapata, Togolese and Benin Republic guys would happily collect less than half of what naija artisans will charge and do an even better job cos their realities/outlook on the pay differs our own.
Just my opinion, can't support this one with hard facts So who’s actually responsible for all these? Immigrants, govt, private sector or who? Why have all the successive governments from all the political parties not addressed this? Don’t you think it’s high time the govt come clean to their citizens on the true affordability of wages? how much do people earn in the uk civil service? So does it mean the govt itself is undercutting their own people? So why do they lie to the people that immigrants accept low wages when the government itself offer low wages. Can you see there’s no transparency in all these yet immigrants will continue to be the object of attack and propaganda. How much salary does the nhs itself offer. Are junior doctors and nurses not agitating for salary increases? Does that have anything to do with low wages accepted by immigrants? I hope you know these jobs can’t be done using visitors visas so the under table jobs don’t even apply. How much do teachers earn both in the uk and US, The govt itself should show example and pay more living wages so its citizens who automatically have the right to work documentation can access it instead of going after immigrants that can easily be stopped at the border by the same govt. |

deept: Low wages/salaries. Typically immigrants will accept lower wages for same job as Brit. Then there's the benefit system, why work when i can get it for free (for work shy able bodied folks). Laziness and entitlement. Lack of incentive for productivity. The Low wages narrative is what will continue to make immigrants as objects of attack even with the increase in the salary threshold for skilled workers and the planned increase again in the construction and IT sectors will this narrative go away? I thought there is a minimum wage that applies to all occupations. Even in a country like the US where wages are much higher it’s still the same narrative politicians used for campaign purposes. So you see this low wages shit it’s all propaganda, simple. |

He recruited the best talents from the diaspora which some of them where Okonjo- Iweala (PhD), Prof. Charles Soludo, Prof. Dora Akinyuli, Moses Kpako (PhD), Akinwunmi Adesina(PhD), Oby-Ezekwensili (PhD) etc.
They together ran the most prosperous Nigerian economy leaving behind a staggering $60B in the foreign reserve and clearing of the external multilateral debt of Nigeria to Zero
The major catch to Obj is that he is not a tribal and ethnic bigot an his appointments were balanced.
Once he notes a subject, I suggest rather than dispel it he should be given audience. Corruption will kill this Government if not tackled with care. Adeshina was never a minister under obj, please get your facts right |
