Gerrard59:
Well, in a way, I can understand how it is odd to criticise a country or alliance when one lives in that area. But as a black African, I don't see why I should steer away from the Chinese or join the Western criticism of China considering Africa has a lot to benefit from China than from the West. Also, history is important as the Chinese have NEVER colonised or brutally enslaved or slaughtered blacks in any form. In fact, the first encounter the Chinese government had with us was constructing a railway in East Africa with their rudimentary knowledge. Till date, the relationship has remained the same - trade - and practise your culture the way you want.

It was not the Chinese that butchered a mass number of Namibians or plundered and murdered Congolese or enslaved millions of Kenyans or raided Nigeria of resources while aiding and betting corrupt rulers, some of whom were installed to serve their interests. Isn't it surprising how no one in the West does not criticise Paul Biya of Cameroon but does the same for the folks in Niger and Burkina Faso?

In summary, no one likes the black man, most especially the black African man. So, it is important to focus squarely on what benefits us rather than do follow follow for wetin no concern us. If the West has a China problem, that is their business, not ours. Just because they have such does not mean we should have it. Africa does not and should not have a China problem. It is in our best interests to trade and do business with the Chinese according to the terms we agree with the Chinese. Anyone who does not like can move to Mars!

This is insightful and I agree fully. Just to point out that the conversations here as far as I have seen haven't really been a criticism of China in the sense of saying Nigeria or Africa shouldn't do business with them or shouldn't learn from them, but rather in the context of where one would rather live, based on their relative societies/laws.

It's not a criticism to say China is totalitarian. It's a matter of fact. There's a single party with decisions made centrally about all aspects of people's lives. Criticism is extremely frowned upon, to the point that if you were in China and you said the things you said about the West here about China's oppression of the Uyghurs; for instance, on Weibo, you'd very likely end up in jail if not worse. Despite all the negative things the West inflicted on Africa, I am sure that there's nowhere else in the World where an African today can migrate to and have as much opportunity to succeed academically, financially, career/business wise and even politically, as in the West.

There are a lot of problematic aspects of living in the West, but most people would rather live there than in China because of the societal and economic liberalism it affords. That's also not an opinion but a matter of fact - migration trends show that clearly that Western countries are the most desirable locations for people to relocate to globally.

The point is ultimately not that the West is perfect or that it shouldn't be criticised - I don't think anyone has ever said that here. It's that the criticism ought to be fair, and that when comparing it to other countries, it shouldn't be a case of comparing the worst of the West with the best of China or whoever else.

stats indeed don't lie. If all the Chinese in the diaspora are put at 10million that is a whole lot less than 1% of their population of over 1.4b.

So the stats show they are not 'trooping out' as you put it, cos hey less than 1%....

In these kain discourse esp with India and China, we can't just be looking at the numbers without taking into account the sheer population of both countries. They have over 30% of the world's population so.....

See estimate of Nigerians in diaspora below.

Hope we can all see that the TRUTH is that Chinese are not trooping out as depicted.

This is pointless. The absolute number of Chinese emigrants is useless.

What matters is what proportion they are relative to the proportion of US citizens emigrating to China.

There were less than 1,000 American students in China in 2023, and this is up from 350 the previous year.

Conversely, there were about 300,000 - THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND Chinese enrollees in American schools, with 86,000 last year.

https://www.voanews.com/amp/bilateral-tensions-cause-the-number-of-american-students-in-china-to-plummet-/7404085.html
https://learningenglish.voanews.com/amp/for-many-reasons-fewer-chinese-students-attend-us-schools/7537255.html

That means a Chinese young person is hundreds of times more likely to choose to go study in the US than an American young person is likely to travel the other way.

Interpret that as you will. The figures speak for themselves though.

Haba chief... On what basis and facts are you deriving this your hope that Ukraine would or could win the war? It would be a COLD ICY day in hell before that happens.

Putin doesn't look like someone that is ready to kick any bucket any time soon... All those talks are propaganda yans from the US/West.

Ukraine will lose the war, but Russia will also lose it and has even already lost it. What you're watching is just death by a thousand cuts.

They've gained some land mass but lost close to 500,000 citizens, mostly young men and tens of thousands of military vehicles and arms and the country is now receiving military aid from Iran. Their assets abroad are about to be seized to fund the continuous money being delivered to Ukraine. All while NATO has gained two more countries and doubled their land border with Russia all without a NATO soldier firing a single bullet. All they've 'lost' (or 'invested' depending on how you look at it) is money. Russia is incapable of invading anyone else now and poses very little threat to NATO, and will likely be so incapable for a long time due to their demographics and military being shot. Putin will keep talking about nuclear weapons but the whole world knows he'll never use them and NATO will also keep pushing the envelope by arming Ukraine with increasingly sophisticated arms but never cross the line that'll make him deploy them as well. They simply do not need to when they're cutting the country down to size very effectively with the proxy approach.

The morality of the war is irrelevant. The results are what matter for the people in both countries. When you ask yourself 'What has Russia gained?' and answer it sincerely you'll know clearly whether he was wise to start on this path in the first place.

You're trying to be clever by half. International laws and treaties covering assylum claims are clearly spelt out.

On a person note, I see many as hapless folks fleeing unlivable conditions in their home nations some of which were a result of misdemeanours by western states. In my professional capacity I have interacted with a number and treated thrm just like I would any other person infact I put in more time and effort with them as they are a largely vulnerable group. [/b]Any colleague who does differently should rightly be made to answer to their regulator.

Many are genuine but the vast majority are BS claims that are designed to take advantage of the asylum route for normal economic migration. It's not illegal (yet) but it definitely goes against the intent of the law and the public and governments in many countries have been clamping down on it.

You can choose to play ostrich and keep your head in the sand saying it's none of your business but you can't then begin moaning racism this and that when policies are implemented that disadvantage immigrants as a whole due to the (perfectly rational) backlash to the abuse above.

I think that's somewhat circumstantial sha cos people steal from those they know so she can still claim it was stolen since (to the best of my knowledge), theres no UK law against not reporting a stolen item.

Lol.

Stop playing.

Circumstantial that the person who found your 'misplaced' ID also somehow found your work schedule and knew when and where exactly to work a shift you were due to work, without worrying that you would jam him there and call him out? Also after working, how did the person plan to collect the money for the shift? Or did the person just want to experience working in the NHS for free since the money would definitely be paid to the account details held for the female nurse?

I strongly suspect when Madam Peace's account is checked there'll be a pattern of previous shift payments having been 'misplaced' into Mr Okoye's account after payday, corresponding to what she was paid for shifts she ought to have worked.

This was arranged between the parties and they just got caught because someone noticed the photo was different.

Chief , how does this LISA works? Say i intend to save up to 4k P.A do i have to save the 4k at once or i make a monthly contribution towards the £4k and which LISA account do you recommend

You can save it monthly or put it in at once. Doesn’t matter.

Check for the cash LISAs with the highest interest rates. Moneybox is good and has high rates last I checked. I think people have also recommended Trading212 here.

For stocks and shares, it doesn’t really matter as much because it’s the funds you buy that matter more and you can buy into most indexes on almost all the platforms. Since you’re asking this question I think it’d be better for you to just use a cash ISA. Stocks and shares LISA requires some more oversight and experience to deal with, plus if you’re planning to buy in the next couple of years, you’d best avoid the volatility.

Guys. Please I need advise

I went to UK on a 3 weeks vacation
At the port of entry, I got stamped in

I returned to Nigeria on Friday and I’m just remembering now that I was not stamped out.

So now my passport has entry stamp but no exit stamp

I’m in Nigeria already and I’m devastated. Please what is the consequence of this mistake ? Will UK Immigration still think I’m in the UK when I’ve already left

Will it result to them thinking that I have overstayed my visa ? Please help 🥺🙏🏾

Stamp is the least of things that UK immigration will use to determine if you have left the country.

As long as you flew out on a plane your name would have been registered via the flight manifest. There’s nothing to worry about.

If it was that important they wouldn’t skip it. I can’t even remember if my passport was stamped each time I’ve left the country.

Two things can be true at the same time.

The extremely wealthy need to be tax more, yes.

The benefits system need to be reformed to prevent abuse, yes.

It's way too easy to abuse the system today, and the stats I heard from the speech yesterday actually shocked me, particularly the one about people getting sick notes after assessments going from 20% in 2011 to 65% today. Are people three times sicker now than then? I think not.

Thank you very much. Unfortunately I already opened an account. Would have liked to use your referral link.

Just to confirm please, if the stock dividend exceeds £500 for a tier 2 visa holder is that deem as a business with the need to complete a tax assessment?

Also, is that a violation of the visa rule?

Completing a self-assessment and running a business are two completely different things that'll never intersect in this specific context.

Investing in stocks is not 'running a business' so you can invest £1 Billion if you have it and make millions in dividends or price appreciation, and it won't be a violation of your visa rules.

Taxes for the dividends depend on your overall income and you pay tax on it as usual with income after you subtract your personal allowance (typically £12,570) and also subtract the £500 dividend allowance. How you will pay depends on how much it is - here's the HMRC explainer page. You can also call them. The link is in the page - https://www.gov.uk/tax-on-dividends

Youtube videos can also be helpful in breaking it down further.

NB: If you love your sanity and freedom, don't ever think of importing a Nigerian nanny...... 🙄😂

Thing is - you're framing this as the 'nannies' are turning against the people who brought them over maliciously because they want to get ILR or because they've been whispered to, but the obvious question is whether those people were treating them fairly and in line with the law.

There's a minimum wage, and there are guidelines on worker conditions. Even failing to pay minimum wage won't generally result in the kinds of sentences in your example, so there must have been serious aggravating factors like those described in the article about the GPs - seizing passport, verbal and physical abuse etc.

People who know they can pay childminders, they can hire au pairs, and they can take there children to nursery, but want to import people (other than family who are knowingly coming to assist like grandparents) know what they are doing, and the focus should be on them rather than implying that the nannies trying to escape their yokes are doing something bad.

Quick question my people. The transfer fee your charged for a balance transfer card is prorated over the zero interest period yes? Not charged up front?

Also is 3- 3.9% transfer fee charge too high?

No o it’s paid upfront at the point of transferring the balance from the other card, then there’s no interest as long as minimum payments are met for the period specified.

Edit: from looking at this it appears that the fee will be added onto the balance being transferred, so I guess you can say it’s pro-rated since it’ll be paid off alongside the original balance:

Obviously, he did not consider them offenders.(remember how he wouldn't condemn the adulterous woman) He saw them as people with not irredeemable flaws.

This gentleman made some homophobic remarks on Facebook which he said were based on his Christian beliefs. University expelled him.
He won on appeal 5 years ago. But his new would-be employer found the case and terminated him which is what this new case is about.

If I findout my doctor has recently expressed racist anti-immigrant views on Facebook, I would be looking for another doctor no matter how much he swears he is not biased.

This is still poor, strawman logic.

You're choosing to focus on an irrelevant point because at the end of the day the the Catholic Church still considers some people sinners. The crux of the issue - should people be prevented from taking up jobs in any place where they might interact with people whom their religious beliefs categorise as sinners?

It's a simple 'yes' or 'no' question but we know you'll prevaricate and not actually answer it because doing so will expose how dangerous it is to insinuate that people cannot be bankers if some of their customers will be people they disagree with religiously; and the same for bus drivers, nurses, lawyers, and every other profession that involves human interaction.

Also, can you spell out exactly what his 'homophobic' statements were? Just because you tag '-phobic' to something doesn't mean it is genuinely offensive, untrue or a valid ground to violate someone's free speech rights, especially when a court has declared that he did not break any law, or did you miss that part?

I am a Christian too and I accept everyone because i ve been commanded to. Jesus made no exceptions to"love your neighbour as yourself" . He also regularly interacted with the worst offenders of his day . I cannot do anything less.

What you're saying is illogical.

Christians believe Muslims are going to hell and Muslims think Christians are going to hell, for being unbelievers/heathens etc etc.

Does that mean Christian doctors should be banned from treating Muslims or Muslims should be banned from treating Christians on the basis of a blanket assumption that they will be unable to treat them well?

Even the example you're citing doesn't gel with your claim. Did Jesus interacting with offenders mean that he didn't consider them offenders?

I don't share the guy's views but the argument he's making about the profound discriminatory effects this will have against religious people is valid, and as we have seen time and time again policies like this that start always extend into more thought policing and fascism down the line.

The UK is not heaven and living here as an overstayer is probably a hard life.

Even deliveroo, you wont be able to do in peace without fear of being snitched on.

Btw what has the dependant being up to or is it a minor?

Given the ease of wanting to become a baby mama, one can probably speculate on the kind of dependent.

My own issue is even with the child she’s proposing to birth. Imagine being willing to give birth to a child just for this purpose. Then the child will likely grow up in the streets, grow to join gangs due to no parental oversight as there’s no father and mother is working twice as much to earn half as much as she would if she were legal, ultimately becoming one of the feral gangsters dealing drugs and stabbing people around, and so likely end up in jail or worse.

Madam Jenny, you should have mercy on that child abeg. Go back and try again or try anything else other than this baby mama strategy. It’s not even likely to succeed, so you’ll likely just put the child through the worst life possible for nothing at all.

The bootcamps are very useful indeed, and just to add that ILR is not a prerequisite to get in.

Naija, everyone is just looting, no one is sensible enough to care about the future or even plan for it

Lord Lugard's excerpt about Nigeria and Africans still holds true several years after

I have taken some parts loosely below -

This is pseudoscientific nonsense.

The state of mind described here would be the same for any group of people with the same lack of education/exposure, and whose horizons and ambitions were limited as a result. People like Lugard said the same about indigenous people everywhere else from America to Australia, etc. It’s part of the MO of conquerors to dehumanize those they conquer to justify their actions. Civilizations like the Mongols also likely held similar ideas about how much better they were than the other countries when they ruled half the world, but now they’re a tiny inconsequential country.

People from the former colonies are increasingly occupying high positions in politics, business, professional fields and everywhere else in the UK and elsewhere, including an outsized contingent from Nigeria, so it’s clearly not about anything in the brain and about the society and the education, rule of law and other factors that keep people in line.

Much as I hate to cite colonialism, fact is that the forced mashup of several groups in Nigeria is a major reason for the inability to have a cohesive national front to tackle issues. Britain with just 4 ethnic groups has had civil wars among them, with the most recent just a few decades ago although they cleverly call it ‘the Troubles’ and not a civil war. Till just last month governance was paused in Northern Ireland because of underlying ethno-religious disputes under the guise of parties not being able to agree (although if it was in Africa they’d say it was ‘tribal warring). So isn’t it logical that Nigeria is struggling more? I don’t think that excuses the people in power and us as Nigerians in general but it’s important to put issues in context and not take to simplistic assessments just because they sound witty.

To be clear I’m not disputing your right to believe you as an individual ‘African native’ are far nearer to the animal world and do not have ambition and all the rest o - feel free to internalize and work with that, I’m saying it’s not true for the generality of Africans.

Please ehn, I have another question.
Now that I have recourse to public funds, does anyone know some that I can get? All my money haff finish. ILR application for a family of 4 finished all my savings.
We currently have pretax household income of 75k (50k + 25k respectively).

What benefits can I claw from the system please?
Man wan maximise everything ‘lost’ in this last 5+ years.

PS: please don’t judge me. I too suffer.

You Neva talk true - shebi your first port of call was where to go and cool off? You don spend money for vacation Abu lol.

Jokes apart, with that household income I think it'll primarily the free (or subsidised?) programmes you'll be able to success. As I understand it most of the benefits are designed to be need-based and your income will take you above the threshold for most, if not all.

I recall someone saying on this thread recently that if you're doing well you won't even get any benefits after all is said and done, and that seems to be your situation.

If your sister also does wrong...... Call her out..... I don't see colour.......

Absolutely nothing she has said in the past justifies the vile comments that man made.

Beyond being insulting to her, the comments reflected prejudice against black women and women in general. If he had stuck to insulting her as a person, I wouldn’t object because people insult politicians everyday, but linking his hate of her to being black woman showed that he’s a racist and a potentially violent one at that.

None of the comments she has ever made approaches these ones in severity and I dare you to disprove that.
