It’s a foretaste of what is still in the offing when Reform gets into Downing Street though the blow back will eventually regulate it. The current template in the US is what has actually emboldened every thing, will be interesting to see how the midterms elections go next year to see whether things can still go in the reverse if not then we are in it finally for the long ride.
Cynical part of me wants Reform to win the next GE and start deporting illegal immigrants and stop the boat, close all asylum centres and stop all foreign aids

What is happening in America right now will be nothing compare to what this country will experience, demonstrations and unrest will be a daily thing, many work-shy and benefit scroungers will have nothing else to moan about.

This need to happen before this country wake up to the danger of Reform political party.

I have a friend who wants to relocate to either Canada or UK. She has a PhD in chemical engineering, postgraduate diploma in business administration, 10years of work experience as business development manager of a waste management company and 20m naira budget.

Can she make it to the UK or Canada? If no, which other country can fall within her budget?
20M can not take your friend to the UK or Canada, not even 30m will, school fees alone will take that 20M and more

To say the truth, when I saw VDM post on this issue concerning the hospital balance to be paid which Edo government volunteered to pay, the issue of discrepancy between the amount mentioned initially and the final amount that was later sent to Edo government officials by the hospital. I was convinced straight away that this guy VDM and the Edo state government rep were just being petty. Even despite the fact that the allegation came directly from VDM, I was sure of them being petty for alleging that the deceased sister and the hospital management were trying to dubiously increase the amount and fleece the government in the process.


And he ended up messing things up, alleging that the sister to the victim and the hospital are fraud
You are mixing things up here, the girl in the hospital is still alive, so I don’t know why you are talking about deceased sister and hospital bills are.


VDM did not make any false allegations, he stated things as it’s, the girl’s mother and the hospital has a lot of explanations to make as the Edo state government is now investigating that bill. The doctor is alleging that the girl’s mother registered the daughter under an issuance policy which is not eligible to hence the initial low bill, it was when they found out about the issuance issue that the bill was increased.


So I don’t know which video you watched to draw your conclusion that VDM messed up the whole thing.

Thanks for your response but I mean I registered and got a national insurance number but never worked and don’t remember the number as I possibly stored in a device I no longer use. So I am concerned that if I put No and they later find out that I have can they flag it as deception and me wanting to hide my intentions. Do I put No indicating I do have it but don’t have it stored then explain it under additional information or is that unnecessary.
Yes that is what you need to do

Good afternoon house I am filling the form . is the nin card the same as national identity card and what is internal passport. As an answer to family in the uk , they mean like nuclear family right because i dont have details of my extended family in the uk. For someone that doesnt remember their national insurance number. What can I do because I never worked in the uk and I don’t currently recall the number do I put No and explain later on the form or just put no .
1.Yes NIN is the same as national ID

2. International passport is your Nigerian passport

3. You don't have to add their all their details if you don't have

4. If don't have NI and never worked in the UK before then you got nothing to worry about.

What is the emotional un- intelligence in what he said?

Rather, you are the one that is just been plain sentimental . I do not know Dangote and neither have I met him.

Now, if it were to be Larfage truck, Coca-cola truck or 7up truck, who do you think would have been the butt of the media attacks?

But it is easy to plug angry teeth into Dangote' s skin.

Elementary Law 101 will help your case concerning Dangote and Dangote cement .

RIP to the law
Rubbish! It does not matter if it was Jesus truck that killed her , the company has to take responsibility of the damage. Yes the driver will be jailed but the truck owner has to compensate the victim.

Having said the above to extend my sympathy to the family of Phyna sister and the families of those that died in similar situations and circumstances , I think it is very important that as Nigerians, the Latter day social critic and Social Media activists should avoid clout chasing.

Harrassing DANGOTE the President of the group with thousands of trucks and over 100,000 employee directly and indirectly is not acceptable.

May the soul of the lady rest in peace.

Nigeria social media would buzz tomorrow. Those who got involved didn't handle the issue well.

VDM and the sister really messed up. A life was at stake and they were doing those shenanigans on social media accusing each other.
You never disappoint one bit, so VDM should have taken Ruth abroad for treatment or should have assembled a team of doctors to give Ruth 247 treatment? VDM used his platform to raise awareness about this and was out to help phina but she decided otherwise and spent days fighting the only person willing to help her get justice for her sister.

VDM gives many of you sleepless night.

Even though my agent said,I might encounter issue with the officer since my Programme has been withdrawn

I believe it’s better to take the risk of going than staying behind to loss my flight ticket

But if am denied entry
won’t this have any effect on my visa or study permit if am to return for another intake in JAN 2026 ?
If you are lucky to be allowed in then thank your stars but that is not your only prob.

Do you have the money to pay rent and bills with no source of income till you are allowed to work?

If you are building a house in Nigeria for your parents then definitely it’s a good idea . However, if you’re building as an investment then it’s a terrible decision.

If you live abroad legally having mortgage is one of the best investments you could make, you will pay rent for life but mortgage has a time limit

So will you open your app or something...? For them to see the actual amount like you are saying. People have traveled, presented their pof and show them you are saying they not intrested in the print out.
Dude this is very simple, if they stopped you at the POE and asked if you have the money you presented during the application and you said yes and you are asked to show them, you have many options, you can open your bank app, or show them in one of the cash machines at the airport. This is a random thing, they don't stop everybody to ask this but if you are picked then get ready to show them the money.

But it's the prerogative of a sovereign country to control its borders and remove those who have no legal status - otherwise what's the point of a border? However I think the priority should be illegal immigrants who have committed crime, of which there are many, not those who have otherwise lived lawfully for decades, have American children, integrated into society etc

I agree that immigrants are vital for many sectors in the US. However my grouse is that these companies are happy for them to remain illegal because they are a source of very cheap labour - no need to pay them going rate, no need to provide medical insurance or other employment benefits - they're illegal aliens right, who can they report to??

They should be lobbying the government to regularise the status of their workers to enable them work freely and be paid the going rate - which will also benefit the government in the form of (increased) tax receipts, reduced reliance on the state etc
You are making my point, I’m not against border control, I’m against controlling skin colour and treating people like animals which is what Trump is doing.

We will have fewer millionaires and billionaires today without cheap labour provided by illegal workers.

If iPhone and Samsung are made in US or the UK how many of us can afford to own one?

All the policies in the US currently is achieving same results in the UK, low job growth, inflation and more despair. That’s what all these talk of shutting borders achieves, nothing more!
I think the UK is not as bad as the Trump economy as the moment. Remember that any figure coming out of Trump administration can not be trusted as it maybe white washed to make him happy else your job will be gone if you present true reflection of the economy

They need to introduce a regularisation scheme for existing illegal workers e.g. those with no criminal record, those who have lived X years in the US etc - even if it's a temporary visa like we have here, with no direct route to settlement.

At least the workers will be able to work without fear and exploitation - unfortunately many are paid below minimum wage, no insurance or employment rights etc.
If they do that then stephen miller will not have a job and Trump promise of deporting millions and millions of illegal aliens will an epic fallur.

This is about numbers and got nothing to do with fixing the immigration system, they are deporting even American citizens, those with green card, those with cases going through the immigration court, those who have lived in America for more than 20yrs with no criminal record.

No due process, just pick them up from the street, work places, schools etc and lock them up then deport them

No govt can stop illegal immigration but it can not controlled, businesses can not do without illegal immigrants, Trump himself benefited heavily from illegal immigrants.

Allegedly Melania Trump stayed in US through "Einstein visa", a visa category reserved for people with "extraordinary ability'', individuals who have sustained national or international acclaim and recognition in their field...and Trump is deporting illegal immigrants?

Great analysis as per usual 👍🏾
One choice they can make and it’s relatively easy imho is actually STOP THE BOATS and deport those in hotels/stop funding them! Just borrow some of Trump’s harsh methods and the illegal migrants will get the point and stop coming altogether. Once KS manages that, he’ll steal the thunder from Reform/Online Right and legal migrants will support this as well. It’s a no brainer for me.
KS should not even think about it else labour party will be gone by next general election. What Trump is doing can only work in a lawless country like US. The British justice system will not even allow the govt to do what Trump is doing. Stop the boat YES but the moment they get into the country they should be treated with some level of dignity.

If KS decided to do that then expect the economy to tank and everyone of us will 'collect'.

Ask Americans farmers and construction companies how Trump immigration policy is benefiting them.
