The dependant ban will not be lifted anytime soon. More prestigious/higher ranked universities might be influential enough to lobby some type of exemption, but the average to lower ranked universities will have to find alternative ways to attract international students without their dependants, because for every pound an international student might contribute, the state has estimated that 80% of dependants do not work and are a net beneficiary of the state.

Sensible thing would have been age and number restriction on dependents, not outright ban

Na them know Sha

It'd take a while for whatever is going on in that sector to settle. This is an election year and the anti-imigrant narrative is the lowest hanging fruit for the Tories and they've thrown everything at it. They should see the tightening through to the election at least.

OTOH, the universities are strong at lobbying and would push thru facts moreso with their cash cow (i.e international students) being muzzled while fees for local students have been capped since 2016. Interestingly 'international students account for one in every five pounds in income received by UK universities'.

I'll wait till July and see what they'll do.. And maybe some more figures will be available

briliantsak:
Interesting read!

"A single year’s intake of international students in 2021/22 generated nearly £42bn for the UK economy"

"Only 3% of the public have any idea of the scale of that contribution."

Their public sabi anything other than to complain and moan and bar hop?

Abeg we don hear

Goodenoch:


Lol. Be deceiving yourself. The same people who when they come into Nigeria even as ordinary people (not givernment reps like Kemi) get huge crowds following them around and governors and in AJ’s case even the president hosting them?

They wanted the Nigerian association abi wetin them dey find come Nigeria?

100s of British born "Nigerian" footballers play in England, only the ones who want to be associated with Nigeria associate with Nigeria and get the love back. It's a simple concept

Good child na papa get am
Bad child na mama born am

It is well o

Jamesclooney:


Na Daily Mail, normal Daily Migrants bashing

Literally quoting what the judge said

ReesheesuKnack:


Same way Nigeria lays claims to Kemi Adeosun, Kemi Badenoch, Anthony Joshua, Tammy Abraham, Bukayo Saka, Fikayo Tomori, John Boyega, etc…

They wanted the association

Can assure you no Nigerian thinks about them like that

Taal17:


She is Nigerian born na, even with UK passport she is recorded as having naturalized citizenship

If she collect Nobel prize, na British citizen.. If she do wayo, na Nigerian born

Oya naw

004gist:

Chai.. It's well.
Just logged into forum now n saw this morning

I think it will get better soon.. maybe by end of June

Quite a lot of people have come in already, so them don belleful for now.

004gist:


Yes baba... Even for my dependant

Those areas, proper long thing area.

Didn't get a job for 5 months until I ran to London

004gist:

Well you might not know how it is for newly settlers now.

Yes Nigerians are getting jobs but it's been difficult to see one this days. I don't know where you are but if you are anywhere close to northeast and can assure us of assistance in where u are working then I don't mind coming close by to work there.
Just let me know so I send my dm.
Thanks you

Northeast? Them Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Newcastle area?

004gist:


Okay sir. It's best you ask around friends in the UK mostly the new arrival.. September etc..

I won't gain anything in lying I was only responding to a guy who wanted to come UK via school with just 10m with this fearful exchange rate. In which only deposit to get CAS will wipe out almost 10m at the moment

10M is not feasible, is it for garri

The job part is the one I was referring to as people get jobs with Naija experience and Indian guys aren't necessarily better, they just have better PR and community

tensazangetsu20:


He might not be lying. I have other dev friends in the UK who have never gotten a job interview and they had at least 3 years of tech work experience before they left Nigeria.

... And I also have people who companies have been begging to join them (I am not invalidating their experiences)

They possibly haven't been doing something right and probably need to network a bit more

004gist:


If this is true by what you said so far then Chile is better.. There are guys with no jobs since they arrived UK since September.. Them many weh I know.
How much does it cost to go to Chile via study route and does language matter?

IT job is one of the most difficult to scale through.. Getting the job is war because they trust experience in UK more than what you tell them you can do

Secondly there are lots of Indians here who are far ahead of we Nigerians in terms of IT, so lots of competition.

Blatant lies

Dem say pesin dunce, you're talking about his speech. He makes Bubu look like Einstein.

Shame catch me

Lexusgs430:


What a parody and calamity, happening within our corridors of power/decision makers.......

FG kidnaps two binance officials, then place a ransom on their heads ......

Same FG is seeking FDI ...... Who in their right senses, would sign that FDI cheque heading towards Nigeria.......🤣😜

Nigeria is justcomic relief

Binance banned and officials arrested, AbokiFX banned and still...Rates going up again..

I wonder who they'll blame next..maybe Lexusgs430

myrates:
pizza, more like a glorified bread

Where do you get yours from?

Nigerian pizza is like suffering o ooo

Lexusgs430:


Have you seen the names of BDC operators, CBN approved for BDC activities in Nigeria.........

You would be truly ashamed of Nigeria & CBN ..........🤣😜🤣😜

That man that asked Abokifx, to come fight him in Abuja....... Approved all this nonsense..... 😁

Nigeria is truly a comic show governed by clowns. When I saw this list on twitter, i thought someone was trying to make fun of the situation but alas, its a real list smh

ehizario2012:


I'm not a fan of Tinubu but that man is an enigma.

He's bringing up some very sensible policies but he messed all up with that subsidy removal without due considerations.

How does a sensible person looking to deliver sensible policies do it without due consideration / without providing short-term palliatives?

They have arrested Binance operatives according to reports, banned ABokifx whose only job is to aggregate from sources , banned and unbanned BDC, and done everything else aside from fixing the actual issues. Crazy that a country as big as Naija still has electricity issues in 2023, Isn't that ment?

Simple basic economics but they're doing a moonwalk around the actual issues and purposely refusing to fix it for reasons known to them. If you ask me, he's just the Yoruba version of Buhari, albeit, a loudly ignorant version

Juwon21:
My people,

Please any app that one can use in the UK to send money to USA bank account? I can't see USA on lemfi, I Will appreciate any other suggestions

The Telegraph is not a credible source as you may be suspecting from reading their racist posts.

Okay o

Anyways, I hope she's not allowed to the UK

ehizario2012:


Why couldn't you just use another example? I would successfully resist the temptation to respond the way I want to.

Happy Sunday all.

Why would I want to use another example?

Don't allow MJ see your post o........, 🤣😁

ReesheesuKnack:


- You didn’t watch her 1st interview.
- You failed to read/research the allegations against Ms Begum.
- You refused to read the sources quoted by Goodenoch.
- You failed to read the plenty resources available as to how she (& her friends) elaborately planned their journey.
- You seem to have no qualms with her ‘Heads in a Bin’ 🚮 comment.

When you are ready to open up your mind to view this story in a 360 degree you will find lots of sources where Shemima Begum was in charge of morality, was sewing bombs to suicide vests etc…

"According to the Sunday Telegraph, the 19-year-old played an active role in the organisation’s reign of terror and was allowed to carry a Kalashnikov rifle, earning herself a reputation as a strict “enforcer” of laws, such as dress code.

Allegations also emerged today that Ms Begum had been witnessed preparing suicide vests for would-be bombers"

See her face like mashed potatoes wey them no do well. They should dash someone with sense the passport abeg

missjekyll:
It has made absolutely no difference to my view. Rebellious teens are not very likeable but we still put our emotions aside to do whats right by them.

She is a Murderous teen

If she had aided people who bombed or slit the throats of people close to you, would you maintain this same stance?

Lexusgs430:


That initial interview, showed intent, determination, hatred and purpose........

Where do we draw the line on the real definition of a child........🤣

This child stole her passport, coordinated with 3 friends, bought tickets, made their way to the airport,
boarded a flight etc etc etc .......

Brainwashing ye bad gan ni o (I am preempting your response).......😂😜

I saw the CCTV picture of when they were leaving, better baff up with nice travel bags

That one no be brainwashing, it was very very calculated and intentional
