Not true, as a matter of fact, lots of companies sponsor that arent in the healthcare sector sponsor. In actual fact, i have seen ice cream shops with sponsorship while browsing through

As of 11th November, 2023, the figure for London was about 26,000. Means 2,000+ companies signed up to sponsor folks (i will check the exact figures to confirm)

See, the thing about life is, you only see what you want to see

Are we going from health care to ice cream shop now, let me know o

That companies sign up to get license does not mean they will sponsor. Make Una no give people bp on top this sponsorship matter o

Hope you also realise that by the time they increase the salary requirement for skilled workers that again will reduce the ability of more companies to sponsor. Smell the coffee they say they want to reduce net migration and we are here encouraging people to gamble, Dey play and keep playing. You guys don’t know the damage Suella and gang has done

While I support our local industry it’s also important they give highest quality of services

It’s in protecting our local industry we gave some learners to operate the distribution part of our power sector the discos and still nothing to show for it.

If it will take giving tax cut to foreign organisations for us to have a befitting national carrier of international standards why not?

Am tired of all these local sentiments that gives Nigerians the worst of services or is that what we truly deserve?

Goodenoch:
After about 6 years of full time care, he will port to a new career in cyber? 😹😹
As what? Assuming he’s around 30, at close to 40 he’ll start looking for entry-level cyber analyst Abi? In 2029 when the cyber landscape will be completely different and he’ll probably be weighed down with a lot more familial responsibilities?

You people so love to titillate yourselves with these fantasies sha.

The fact of the matter is that if people actually came to the country with their fees and POF sorted as they declared, they would comfortably be able to get PSW and then use that time to get jobs without bothering about sponsorship in the first instance, and then get a sponsorship role of the back of that experience before the PSW expires. That’s because there are a ton of professional jobs vacant but sponsorship is the issue, which many employers are reluctant about whether rightly or wrongly.

Many of my friends have even been sponsored by the same place where they work after just a few months of working on PSW because the organisation now has the confidence to do so, and many others simply go to other organizations that sponsor after a year or so.

In 90% of cases where people default to care it’s because the foundation of their immigration was faulty (fraudulent?) ab initio, thereby robbing them of the flexibility to take advantage of the very clear paths to career progression, and then they get stuck doing things they hate for the rest of their lives.

But no, keep blaming the government and tories and companies and everybody but those who chose to cut corners and are bearing the consequences.

—
Edit: for the avoidance of doubt I have nothing against care work. I just believe it should be done as a way to pad your finances while studying so you have a reserve for PSW and while searching for a job afterwards, or if you are a professional health care worker or have a passion for it.

To pay 15k to do cybersecurity or some other hotcake masters (especially STEM!) and then discard that to go and do care full time for 5 years though? Haba mana.

Let’s break out of this default-to-care mould biko, while other immigrant communities are aspiring higher and building careers and businesses.

How many companies outside the healthcare sector are sponsoring skilled workers?

Some of us are not realistic enough, from the current stats it clearly shows not many companies outside the healthcare sector sponsor skilled workers and that’s the only major pathway in this country. And from my current observation the number of companies outside the health sector that are sponsoring keeps reducing. Let’s not give people false hopes by urging them to continue to hope on what is never available. My advise simple to anyone not interested in care is to start to explore other countries and don’t get caught in the cross fire of uk immigration which is the perspective Justwise is coming from but many here are clearly misunderstanding him. I should keep applying when my visa is expiring soon and I have a family? Common

This has nothing to with the foundation of POF, it has more to do with the opportunities available and not everyone I repeat not everyone will have the privilege of working in the nhs which does not even sponsor for many roles. It’s what it is.

justwise:
My question is this.. if you studied a particular subject and applied for jobs with no success what do you do? Go back to school to get more certificate ? Go back to Nigeria to start looking for job? Thinking that you must work in the area you studied is outdated. Education gives you the exposure , the ability to make rational decisions.

Yes this may sound controversial but given the choice I will take health care sponsorship over PSW.

PSW should be avoided if you can, I will take it if that is the only option available.

I can’t even fault anything in all that you have said. You’re so spot on

justwise:
Your friend can swtich back to Cybersecurity when he settles with full right to live and work in this country, nobody pins him down to health care work for ever. He is thinking outside the box which is what education gives you. You studied Cybersecurity and you applied for jobs with no positive outcome then what? You keep waiting until your visa expires?

Some of our motivational speakers here think otherwise

Rachie83:
When an immigrant with no legal stay gets here, there there are some jobs like warehousing jobs that are easily accessible in midwest states with good pay which are not really in places like Texas because of minimal numbers of warehouses. You can be new here and be earning like $18-22 per hour in warehouse while in Texas u might not see such a job with such a pay. "Wa lo iwe oni iwe ni awon ilu yen lati fi se ise" if you don't understand the yoruba pls look for someone to translate for you.

Thanks 🙏

babajeje123:
Post study is never a waste of time. One of the challenges our people have is their inability to delay gratification. Our people don't want to sow today to reap a better tomorrow. I finished my Msc in January and opted for post study. Meanwhile I got a job with a trust who was not going to sponsor and won't still allow me to start till I get my post study. It was a band 3 role but I went for it. Paid £8k plus for the whole family and started the job. Few friends who heard I opted for post study abused hell out of me since I could have used the money to buy COS. To sha cut the story short, got a higher band for the same role with another trust who sponsored. Few weeks back, we applied and received £1600 plus as IHS refund, part of the post study ihs and part of dependants ihs. So you see, there are numerous opportunities in this country such that one doesn't need to cut corners. People just need to define and stick to what they want.

You can only speak for yourself, you can’t speak for others. Circumstances and experiences differ from one person to another. Not everyone on the psw route will get a sponsorship job and that’s a fact. We have been told here that no company is under obligation to sponsor anyone. And some of these people in this circumstance are the ones going to other countries yet we will condemn such move and say it’s not greener on the other side or they don’t know what they want. We need to be more sensitive to the diverse situations of others.

Zahra29:
Suella-let here 😂....Locals aside, you're telling me they couldn't find a chef or mechanic or barber within the vast Indian, Pakistani, Bangledeshi communities already in the UK They had to go and find some in India? Ok....

I don't think they should scrap the list entirely as there are some roles that make sense e.g. welder, civil engineer etc...but it needs to be refined so that it doesn't simply become an avenue for employers to get cheap labour in.

if they were never allowed into the country, who would have done it, I remember one Justwise comment way back as in 'What is the real definition of a local or British'

We also seem to be putting everyone inside the same bucket, locals can also refer to graduates here who already have some experience but are limited by visa length, this is where the system needs more definition. If more efforts are made to retain graduates without the burden of sponsorship, it's even easier to control migration, but if you put both inside and outside the country in the same bucket then there will be chaos like the selling of COS.

Zahra29:
But it's true though. The shortage list allows you to pay 20% less than the going rate, some companies esp SMEs would definitely pay much less.

I laughed in Spanish when on the BbC last week, an Asian man said he couldn't find a mechanic to employ in the UK.Another said he couldn't find chefs🙄 - both occupations are on the shortage list and they went to Pakistan / India to recruit, maybe directly from their communities, who knows.
Where is the evidence that they tried to recruit broadly in the UK first?
How much do you think they will pay the mechanic and chef that they have already done such a favour to by bringing them and their families (both real and arranged lol) to the UK?

don't sound like braverman here o, how many locals are truly willing to work as chefs or mechanics? I have worked in a local council so I Know firsthand, despite all the training available for locals to do in these areas, how many come forward for it at the end of the day? I once asked someone what's really the problem, and with shame he told me our folks are not interested. We see these things but many will say it's a lie.

As for that shortage list by the way apart from the healthcare roles, not many foreign workers are recruited for other roles so I support that it should be scrapped cos it's obvious it doesn't make sense and the policymakers know this already. It's a huge cost to employers to bring in foreign workers in the first place and it's because of the waivers the healthcare industry enjoys reason they can bring in as many as they like.

dupyshoo:
Psw is no waste of time. I know of more than 20 friends that got a job in their fields during PSW. While some people will get job before finishing, some will get after a year, some after 2 years. The final outcome will be to become a citizen. It is not how far but how well.

You did not address the statement that some students are not chanelling their energy to applying for jobs in their field. How will they get sponsored when they did not apply.

If we want to be a force to be reckon with in this country, as Nigerians, we need to start targeting the top collectively and stop settling for less.

Why will they channel their energy when there’s no hope of sponsorship, do we all have same level of resilience? Like someone said we may need to respect people’s choices for going the care route. For many it’s family survival first, will you blame them? This is why some people feel we are bashing other people’s career choices here.

karixz:
Good day guys,
Please I need advice on what physical bank I should open as a new immigrant. I’ve heard something about some of these banks coming with financial incentives from this thread and I’d be really delighted to know more about this.

Physical or high street banks lol, spiritual banks no Dey o. Any of them is good actually be it hsbc, Lloyds or Halifax

kwakudtraveller:
But it’s clearly defined on their website, they have a list of skill set they want for the top visas. If the companies are not sponsoring, it’s no fault of the government as they have to prioritise their own as opposed to putting in an extra cost for a visa when they can just easily hire a citizen or someone with an existing work permit with no ties. That people are seeking care jobs post uni is their lack of patience, and for some, the fear of the unknown which I can’t blame them for. Care is still a profession and at some point, we have to respect people’s choice but ensure we speak to people close to us to not settle. Another issue is people are looking to move into other professions because someone somewhere has told them that it’s the best way to get into the job market, instead of just continuing from where they stopped in their country, everyone now wants to be a project manager or a Fraud Expert and they think doing a Masters for it is enough which in a way is putting these companies at risk. That’s why companies are now doing double reference checks. Because if one is on top of their game; why would a company need to do another thorough background check if one has been hired already and has been there for months.
My point is, 2 years is enough time to figure things out, nobody forced us to move here, they’ve given us this opportunity so let’s use it wisely and stop pointing fingers at them.

one of the top recommendations now from the Migration Advisory Council is to scrap the shortage skills list as it's obvious to all that its just for decoration, so many things here are not straightforward, they want to scrap it cos according to them it is encouraging cheap labour which I find laughable.

dupyshoo:
Regarding the bolded, while I blame the government, some students are not even trying at all. Ask them to apply for PSW and consider roles within their field, a lot of them will curse you. When I did my MSc., most of my classmates did psw and majority of them got very good jobs before they finished the psw. Sponsoring of visa was not even that popular then. I applied for around 500 jobs, got to 10 assessment centres before I got a job offer. Some of my classmates even applied for more jobs. When I was not happy with my job, I started applying again. I did so many applications, had so many heart breaks but eventually got 3 companies that wanted to sponsor me at the same time.

I asked one student who was complaining how many jobs he had applied to in his field, he could not mention 10.

People just want to get into skilled worker visa immediately. I was practically begging someone to send me his CV. He was just interested in getting COS from a care home. This is someone that studied cybersecurity.

Also, I have spoken to a lot of students as we have huge no of students in my town. Some of them don't even have a clue what they are studying. They hire people to do their dissertation and course works. Are those people students?

However, some students are still trying their best though and I am certain their hard work will pay soon.

people feel it's a waste of time applying for psw cos it leads to nowhere, nobody likes uncertainty, if the UK immigration policies are straightforward it will be easy for people to make more well-informed decisions, the only straightforward thing now is care cos it leads to their desired settlement. That is why the smarter ones are looking to other countries not because the UK is not even better than those countries but because nobody wants to mortgage his future for any uncertainty. It looks like a gamble for many especially with families applying for psw with the heavy cost to it while with care they just pay the visa fee and are exempted from ihs fees. Only those with a strong desire to remain in their field will try the psw route first and see what happens and they are very few. Th Uk does not need to make these things hard like this and still complain of over 1 million vacancies not filled.

kwakudtraveller:
People are now setting up care home businesses just to sell COS. The rot keeps getting deeper but people like to be delulu instead of acknowledging that we as a people, Indians, Ghanaians, Zimbabweans, and Nigerians need to do better. I’ve come to realise that it’s their country and their rules and if I don’t like it, then I can fxxk off to another country where I will still cry and cry if their policies annoy me. But to ignore the fact that we are abusing the system is downright preposterous. Because their policies appear to be turning on its own no mean say they are wrong, they are right in their own way as it’s their country and their rules.

The truth remains that one has a higher chance of getting a UK visa than any of those countries mentioned and you people know that Heroshark is right but you are just in denial. Not every Joe can make it into Canada as their deciding factors are strict, that’s why there’s a distinction between the quality of people who move into Canada, Australia and the US versus the UK. A high percentage of the people who moved to the US legally either did so through Family, Lottery system or School and as for the student route, US universities will deny your study application or visa before you finish spelling SUELLA. US universities reject their citizens, talk more of you a foreigner. The people who moved in illegally, got in through a visiting visa and they either did marriage fraud or applied for asylum. I know a handful of such people. Make Una Japa to US easily like the UK now, make we dey see.

The UK is this and that, but the other day, we dey complain about woman wey get work go dey collect free food wey suppose be poor people with zero income, she come even turn am to content creation. But we wan dey banter back and forth on top the truth.

Make everybody dey deceive themselves.

Sorry Zahra for hijacking your post to write this long talk. The talk don tire me

In all of this, the Uk is to be blamed for not properly defining the kind of disciplines and professions they really want which has been my own major issue in all of this. The US and other countries you mentioned have more desire to attract more qualified professionals to settle in their countries but what do you have here in the Uk, folks graduating with an MSc in cybersecurity but no clear immigration pathway but have to settle for jobs in the care sector by paying for COS. Let's not deceive ourselves companies are not really sponsoring professionals here in this country.

The Uk will continue to attract the kinds of people its currently attracting cos that's what they want and they should not blame anybody. If they are serious, sponsorship jobs should not be the only major immigration pathway, overhaul the system, find out honestly what professions you truly need and attract those well qualified for it.

Zahra29:
The panic set in when they observed the large number of dependants that started accompanying students on a 1 year post grad course. It points to a plan to stay permanently as opposed to get your masters and then return home.

Re the health and social care sector, the largest vacancies are in the care sector. But I find it strange that since brexit, the number of vacancies doesn't appear to have gone down, despite over 150k care visas being granted in the last 2 years.
And if there were such huge vacancies as reported, why are so many immigrants , especially those who came in via an agency, unable to get shifts?

Something's not adding up. And it's certainly not working in the current format.

and who do we blame for this? Immigrants?

heroshark:
I can also argue that many Nigerian that migrated to the UK using the student visa route in the last 2years are not qualified for the UK student visa.

But then again people will attack me. But let's examine it without bias or prejudice.

The UK Student visa is point base. To qualify you need a total of 40points.
CAS = 30points
Proof of sufficient fund = 10points

Many Nigerians (majority in my uni and cohorts) used fraudulent means to obtain the last 10 points. So genuinely speaking they did not meet the criteria and if UKVI had discovered they would've been banned.

The influx of immigrants that the UK is complaining about is mainly from Indians (+subcontinent) and Nigerians and these are also the group that uses the most fraudulent means to secure visa ( Selling of COS and Fraudulent POF). This is the truth and we all know it. But if I talk am, everybody go tag me as enemy of progress.

I personally can not say this outside the community but as na we we dey here, make we tell ourselves the truth.

What i

The UK you're trying to defend knows these facts well more than you but you know what? they didn't care as they were more after the numbers to reach their target. Stop trying to be more righteous than them, they were in the know but looked away to get all their figures. And that's the hypocrisy lot of people point at, you were the ones who let them in with all the fraudulent credentials in the first place.

I have always maintained that the sales of COS should be blamed on the govt for allowing all sorts of agencies to issue COS, I hear they are now trying to do proper background checks if that is true anyway.

Gerrard59:
Honestly, I would love to read a research paper why that keeps happening. It is prevalent across almost all immigrant societies. Those who have migrated a long time get agitated and somehow unhappy when there are newer arrivals in large numbers. It is not just a Nigerian thing, but happens among Whites in Japan, Indians in the US, Indians in the UK, Mexicans in the US, Indonesians/Malaysians/Filipinos in Japan, etc.

Sha, one thing is clear from the recent exodus: the veil on the UK's face has been removed. It is not a new thing anymore. Literally, an above average Nigerian can get into the UK. The mystery has been demystified. It is good anyway. It is an all-comers-affair.

I remember the time whites said Dubai haff cast because many blacks, especially black Africans, were visiting there en mass.

The UK haff cast.

you're a badt boy that's why I like this forum, someone will catch some fun from the whole drama

pretty1986:
Ok.Thank you for your response.I will be glad if you can link me up with anyone in Australia that is in medical line.I will like to migrate there,My Wife is a registered Nurse.any contact pls?.I will appreciate.Thanks

The Australian visa thread will be a good place to be with loads of information there

pretty1986:
Good morning,I noticed something.why is it that nobody is talking about Australia as if there is no future for anyone that is moving to Australia?

Even the Brits themselves are moving to Australia, it’s also a destination for uk healthcare care workers. I have a couple friend both on individual work visas moving to Australia as permanent residents so yes it’s another choice destination. No much noise though

Zahra29:
But It's the citizens who are crying out that immigration is too high. The same citizens who voted for Brexit because they wanted to reduce and control immigration. The same citizens who are warning the govt that they will go the way of the Netherlands.

People who voted for brexit because they felt that 200k plus net migration was too high, how do you think they will just accept 700k plus, and from countries that are even more "forrin" than the EU lol
It's not personal, that's just how they are.

The Brits themselves should educate themselves better from the stats before them and be realistic. Most of the numbers are international students many of which will not settle permanently. Secondly the highest number of foreign workers are actually from the healthcare sector so they should ask themselves if they are now ready to man that sector themselves otherwise all the hue and cry is baseless cos it’s the politicians themselves will continue to use such stats to get their votes to keep themselves in power and not focus on more pressing issues affecting their own well being. Enough said

triplo3:
In your own opinion, the ones that moved, are they better off? Happier, more fulfilled etc?

Because a lot of people keep saying this japa from UK to Canada but what I’m seeing from friends and family and online…it’s not encouraging or at best the same.

Here’s the pros:
- bigger houses/road
- PR Route
- maybe higher salaries on average?
- etc.

Cons:
- housing crisis
- harder to get jobs
- very big and depressing/lonely country (can’t even visit your family on the other side because of flight cost)
- extreme cold

I just need to validate some of my ideas around this Canada japa 2.0

PS - if Canada is the ultimate destination, why waste millions to come to UK first? You don’t need MSc to qualify for PR route, there are alternatives like BCS diploma direct from Naija etc

It was in the last one year or so Canada started improving the speed of their visa application process. It was so slow it can take many months to even process student visas whereas for uk you can process your visa in one or two weeks after biometrics so uk became a destination of choice to actualise the japa dream. But now visitor or student visas for Canada are being processed faster now and with uk increasing the restrictions folks are looking towards the North American destination so it is an issue of convenience for many. The uk is far better than Canada in terms of job opportunities being a larger economy but with increasing immigration restrictions what do you expect people to do?

heroshark:
So an immigrant shouldn't have an opinion? Why are you all pretending ? Most people paying £10k to get a care COS from Nigeria, if they qualify for Canada PR they won't be paying such outrageous sum to come to the UK to do care.
Over 80% of Nigerians that migrated from Nigeria to the UK on skilled worker visa came through the heathcare worker route.

So when I said many Nigerian that rushed to the UK won't qualify for Canadian student or PR route I stand by it 100%.

I've met many that have been denied either Canada or US student visa b4 trying the UK.

Stop the hypocrisy and check the Nigerians among you, mostly those working in care sector, how many of them have the education (not including any MSc obtained in the UK) , skillset, experience and age to secure the top CRS point for Canada PR route ?

I know we have some very brilliant and talented Nigerians in the UK, so I try not to generalize.

The keywords in my post is Many not majority and rush (you can't rush to Canada, it's simply impossible).

I think you may be talking from your personal experience, on the contrary lots of folks just use the UK as a transition route. Their final destination is either the US or Canada, like Justwise said the longer processing time for Canada is a factor and many in the UK are just waiting for their PR application to fall through before taking off from the UK. I have a friend who is a lecturer and I was shocked when he told me many Nigerians he's currently supervising their MSc thesis remotely are already in Canada.

I can assure the Uk as a whole sef that this is their goal of bringing net down migration will surely be achieved, they should not stress at all cos japa 2.0 has been activated by many. Even folks on work visas are currently leaving the UK for other countries so Suella and team need not break any sweat at all cos they have succeeded already.

florixi:
Your point does not still hold water. Whatever means people use to japa is no one's business. Some people migrated via sea and sought asylum when they arrived, and most of them are doing very well afterward.

You need to take heart and take a painkiller because more people are coming into the UK, no be you get uk. If you think they are low-skilled people, then you can relocate to another planet because their employers are not complaining. It is only bad belle people like you who are in severe pain because you don't want to see any other person succeed except yourself.

That your cousin wey you dey oppress for naija, wey you refused to show d way , is coming this December! O yah vex again!!

hey cool temper na vawulence is not allowed here. Am sure the guy you quoted got your point. oya drink water cool down abeg lol

heroshark:
80% of Nigerian students in my cohort did fake proof of fund and were struggling to pay tuition, most of them are married with kids and average age above 30years old. There is no way many of them will be granted Canadian student visa unless they are on scholarship or going for PhD.

How is it not true ?

PS: I didn't say all, I said many.

Canada too has same problem of fake admission letters of acceptance especially in recent times with over 700 students from India affected so this excuse of abuse of system is not particular to the uk or Nigeria.

Don’t divert from the main issues, the uk cannot continue to use abuse of the system as an excuse of hostile immigration policies cos it happens everywhere. Is not time the Uk give more attention to its struggling economy and stop using immigration as an excuse to deceive many of its ignorant citizens?

Zahra29:
Lol the government did not target Nigeria and India specifically. There are more favourable visa policies for the Chinese and south Americans for example.

It was certain universities who went after the Nigerian and Indian markets, recognising the huge numbers they could attract by highlighting psw to Japa with their families,and gaining a competitive edge by offering significantly lower fees and discounts (compared to higher ranked, more prestigious universities).

Universities are basically business enterprises. Do you know how much a VC gets paid, even of a lower ranked university? do you know how much commission agents receive for bringing students in? Of course they will complain loudly if their gravy train no longer produces as much gravy.

Once again you don't hear the likes of LSE and Imperial College complaining as loudly. Because they know what they offer (beyond psw) and are able to attract international students from all over who are seeking top quality, internationally recognised qualifications and experience.

Zahra the former uk high commissioner in Nigeria personally marketed students visas to Nigerians so it was actually a government thing. She did videos to encourage Nigerians to come study in the Uk. This is a fact

ehizario2012:
In other news, I still wonder why UK is still all about paper paper paper mails! Why?? Almost everyday a paper advert mail from Royal Mail is slid into d house! Wetin dey sup gangan? Can't they remain digital and do away with paper? I just bin them without opening most times. I wonder where they get these trees from...

Apart from gdpr issues if Royal Mail close down do you know the thousands that will be out of jobs? Sometimes you just keep a system running to avoid job losses and more woes for the economy.

Also the reason why companies are forcing employees back to the office and stopping remote work. This is to help sectors like real estate, transportation and other auxiliary sectors stay afloat, e get why o!

iyatrustee:
To work with visa or claim asylum? Hopefully not the latter if not ehn!

what I hear is actually asylum for Ireland, no be me talk am o

LionInZion:
Exactly! And it works for them everytime lol. Only those with independent minds can decipher the agenda and see through the hypocrisy. Do you know that despite the hues and cries about student dependents, the main applicant to dependent ratio then was around 5:1. But Suella and her praise singers were making it sound like student dependents were the cause of WW2. I fear who no fear politicians 😀

Their claim was that dependents were more than the main applicants. That is what they do reeling out statistics that will never tell the true story. With all the hue and cry about work visas, the healthcare workers' visas are the most issued ones and they want to increase the salary requirement for work visas while excluding that of healthcare, can you see the confusion?

OgbeniOptional:
The people ruling this country don’t know what they want. Majority of the citizens have no clue about what they even want. The blame culture in this country scares me a lot, constantly looking for who to blame when things go wrong for their own ineffectiveness.

Politicians are same everywhere they take advantage of the ignorant and uneducated among the populace to drive narratives to keep themselves in power. That’s what is happening in this country from windrush, Brexit, students and care workers.

ehizario2012:
Been enjoying the Hustle/Goke7/Zahra29 economics since. Lol. None of you guys mentioned the boats, all focus was on skilled immigrants/students.
What's happening to the boats?? Are we saying these illegal immigrants are not significant in number??

When it comes to immigration in this country, they always put everybody that enters into the same bucket whether legal or illegal.

hustla:
Wont the same citizens complain if businesses die off?

Of course they will complain and find who to blame again

Lexusgs430:
Remember many years ago, you put your name on the council list and government gives you subsidised accommodation....... That trend is now a dying horse, hence pressure on private LL's......... (MT also brought out a policy, to sell CP at huge discounts)... Government never rebuilt lost properties, hence this housing pressure pot......

Shortage of council properties, puts council property tenants + private tenancy occupancts in a situation where both of the aforementioned, are chasing few properties (basic economics principles).......

High demand = Higher prices........ 😁😜

NB: I would NEVER advice any prospective buyer, to buy an ex council property....... 😭 (unless it's a standalone house)......😄

Dem just Dey talk as if dem no Dey born children for this uk, dem no know say dem go build new houses for tomorrow’s children haba.
