Indians also had high paying careers before Nigerians. It’s just very recently Nigerians started having good careers abroad. In the past most Nigerians did mostly menial jobs but Indians have been working in high paying industries like tech and healthcare. It’s why most of the veteran japarians are very pained that new japarians are having it easy compared to them.

This free speech movement is really doing wonders o where someone wants the King to send the entire parliament home or for Britons to be given asylum in the US 😜

Farage is the one that messed up himself going to Malarago or whatever they call it. Anything his eyes see he should collect it all by himself including handing over to Robinson as demanded by sugar daddy musk!

justwise:
Yes because they know that is not sharpest tool in the box, those who support him pay the price, look at Rudy Giuliani and others who foolishly went along with Trump.

Do you remember this dude ....Nicholas John Griffin (British National Party) He was worse than Tommy Robinson but today he is forgotten.

The british political environment is allergic to Trump-like-character

Goke7:
You have not watched that GB news interview with Musk’s father where he said the future of the Uk belongs to Tommy Robinson?

Immigration is hot and cold. When it's hot, you strike. I think it'll be cold for 5 years. Then it'll be back to the 2018 days. I've advised anyone with a PR who's eligible to apply for citizenship, should do so ASAP . They'll be anti immigration sentiments and narratives for the next few years, with this inevitably new government.

njambert:
Such issues are rarely unilateral but eventually peak because of a culmination of reasons, amongst which are; record population growth owing to immigration, restrictive planning policies which you cited(like refusal to construct high rises within certain locations), rising construction costs, interest rates, etc.

In 2023 alone, Canada had a population growth of 3.2%, 97.6% of that was due to immigration only. In that same year, Australia had a population growth of 2%(84% on account of immigration alone) and in the US it was only 0.5%(70% due to immigration).

You can clearly see that Canada and Australia are taking in disproportionately too high a population, leading to high demand for real estate and rentals, and eventually the high prices. These unprecedented numbers cannot be ignored and no country can thrive in the long run bringing in such influx. I would also like to see Poillievre introduce per country cap. One country alone shouldn't be accounting for more than 25% of a country's immigrant flow. We need more diversity, less numbers.

Gerrard59:
To be fair to Australia, most of it is deemed unhabitable or economically dead. The same applies to Canada. And yes, I agree with the narrative that citizens, especially older ones, form NIMBY movements which restricts construction of newer houses. Suddenly everyone runs with the narrative that immigrants caused rents to increase.

Good to see that another Nairalander has agreed that humans are tribal in nature.

lavida001:
No thank you.

Tommy Robinson? That will be a tall order as he is not really popular for good reasons here. The UK political ecosystem is not really financial driven like our American senior partners so he will struggle to use his deep pocket to influence any political party here

He can only be successful if he managed to buy daily mail or the sun newspaper and few yrs down the line what happened to News of the World will be repeated.

justwise:
He is desperately want to run the UK govt just as he is doing with American govt right now.

He is not getting the attention and recognition he wants from the British govt even with all his money.

true , underlying hidden reason is racism. Jews have their communities and practices some weird rules. I interviewed with a company once and the recruiter told me its Jewish owned and they dont work on Friday and i should be ready to work on sunday. A Jewish woman once asked me for help calling a taxi ( apparently they cant make calls on certain days) 😂.

Ukrainian refugees were freely accepted by Europe and North America. Some people have said they are ungrateful and arrogant. One even said in an interview in uk that there are too many blacks and browns where they housed them.

But because these two groups are white ,anti immigration people ignore them. It is well o

Gerrard59:
It seems a "little India or Pakistan" is worse than a "little Nigeria". If not, why are they not picking on on our people in the UK and other parts of the West? Could it be the smaller numbers compared to South Asians or the grave effect of being accused as racists owing to the global influence of African Americans?

ednut1:
i lived close to a Pakistani community while i was in the UK over 18 years ago. If you mistakenly enter that area you would think you are in Pakistan . Once they target an area they would buy out all the white people there and make it a mini india or Pakistan. Can see the far right people coming for them in recent times

Agidipie:
I am based in the UK. But what is really going on with Indians in Canada. Most of my social media timeliness especially tiktok are full of complaints about them by white Canadians, even blacks. They (Indians) have been under fire for the past few months now, even to people in Melbourne Australia. At first I thought it was the general anti immigration stereotype sweeping the west, but it seems the bulk of it is focused on them. Here in the UK, we all are facing these anti immigration talks biases but it is looking like the ones in Canada seems to target Indians more. They are really complaining about them and their activities. The Indians I am seeing here in the UK are doing great to an extent . Are the ones in Canada that bad? Or what's happening

Anyone following the clash between Farage and Elon Musk. Welcome to 2025!

https://x.com/nigel_farage/status/1875918844562473373?s=48&t=tk-1hGRx-HBpOmsos8uccA[/quote]Lol... late Christmas for Kier Starmer. He'd be hoping the £100m talk would be quenched by this.

See how humbly calculated Farage sounded. Money good oo.

Elon is something else- for even NF to say this one is too far right and disagree with him should make folks unsettled. I wonder what role his aparthied South African roots are playing in his world view

Kenn55:
These Indians should go and rest. They are talking now cos the bigotry don reach their side. Where were they when blacks and Latino immigrant community were being dehumanized?
Anybody with sense knows that the core MAGA issue wasn't illegal immigration as it was painted but non white immigration whether legal or illegal. They thought they were not in the same category with blacks and Latino immigrants cos they are the IT gurus.
They haven't learnt their lesson cos as at today people like Kash Patel is still thinking he is MAGA

Zahra29:
.

There are different rules in England and the "full gamut" of NHS services does not include free prescriptions (and other services such as dental treatments and eye tests)

..

NuCypher:
Or is it the ones worrying endlessly for months about when they'll receive their passports from IRCC, raising an endless number of webforms to prod the commission, writing multiple long emails to MPs all over Canada, endlessly worrying about an application that is almost a certainty and that will work 100% as long as you had ITA and have done everything right; doing all of this time-wasting and soul-sucking efforts, instead of planning ahead for a future in Canada that will be certainly different and challenging? I just shake my head when I see those kinds of comments. Someone has done something to us as Nigerians for sure. Pathetic!

funkyy598:
If I can survive in Lagos, I can survive anywhere. Mentally, it ruins lives and leaves many stranded, even on the Express Entry page. Some people try to explain the challenges ahead. and how best to prepare ahead as it not rosy anywhere , but majority say it's negativity and that the individual should come back home. They do not want to hear this information , and if they arrive and face reality, then nobody should complain. It's simple!

ednut1:
This was mid last year. This friend of mine was trying to crowdfund the balance from other people. This are the kind of people that will still come here to cry. Another person that i advised to learn French is currently in the pool with a high scores. Student route especially to these mushroom diploma mills have casted yet people are still applying. Make nobody con stress me again o 😒😂

Goodenoch:
LOL.

This fellow is still ‘questioning’. He should continue- he’ll surely get the answers to his questions soon enough.

Goke7:
It will be a long ride in the next four years even here in the UK especially with Uncle Musk now pulling Oga Starmer's beards up and down. Everyone was aware of the consequences of November 2024 so no one should be pretending now.

Goke7:
Kemi badenough and uncle farage is waiting to receive ya! 😜

Ekaabo!

naivasha:
Okay. It's an unmarrried partner visa. My partner is a UK citizen. Hope that helps to clarify.

naivasha:
Happy New Year everyone.

Regarding the condition of "No Public Funds" on my partner visa, I just want to ask - will prescriptions for diabetic medication be considered as accessing public funds?

Lexusgs430:
Are you trying to say, you had a LISA whilst resident in the UK.......

If this is what you meant...... You have 3 options......

- Just pause it till you get to 60...
- Keeping paying in, continually receive your 25% from HMRC.....
- Withdraw funds and pay a penalty to HMRC ......

Gallantboy213:
Please can someone whom the government in UK gave free housing be allowed to invite someone in Nigeria over

lavida001:
Third worlders especially Indians should be placed on visa ban to the west at least for a short time.
