I've said for a while now that Reform is the real fox to watch, the Kemi obsession was just a red herring.

Farage is now playing Labour and influencing their policy decisions in the same way he manipulated Cameron & co and engineered the Brexit vote, and eventually Brexit.

Like Blair said recently - ignore populists at your peril. Populists don't create a grievance, they exploit grievances (of the silent majority).
This is not looking good for Reform, Zia Yusuf resignation will hurt Reform

Once you watch live program on Youtube as little as Pastor Jerry Eze...you have to pay.

Negotiate what?

Council tax or road tax..even the least insurance you can get will be close to £100
If you are spending your time watching pastor Jerry Eze live on YouTube then you deserve to pay £1000 for TV licence.

The reason why I said certain bills is because I know some can not be renegotiated.

Yes council tax can be renegotiated if you are under financial restraint. The same with water bill, internet, mobile phone, gas and electricity etc

They're going for Scottish Labour now and looking to overtake them as the no 2 party in Scotland.

Ahead of Thursday's by-election they've accused Sarwar of sectarianism, advertising a speech he made to the south Asian community where he said that the time has come for Pakistanis to lead the country and decide what is taught in schools. Sarwar inturn accused Reform of racism lol, but his speech has obviously not gone down well with many Scots or non Pakistanis/other south Asians.


Not surprised because that is him pretty much talking about sharia law

Paycheck jobs hardly make one rich.
It can only make them comfortable.
That's why it's not advisable for someone that is already doing well and has something good in Nigeria to sell all and travel out.
Left for me, I can only advice fresh graduates and single people to travel out, because it would be better than working for 200k per month in Nigeria, that's if you even get the 200k job.
Again what is your definition is rich?

Lol, the government is already having a massive headache trying to figure out how to withdraw pensioners' WFA without losing the next GE. They're lamenting that lifting the 2 child benefit cap will cost billions....Starmer wants to make us "war ready" without confirming how or where the money will come from....Rayner in her leaked memo to Reeves (before the White Paper) suggested restricting benefits for recent arrivals.....not easy times for them.
I watched Reform party member on LBC Youtube channel the other day and i felt something.... the next GE is for Reform political part. I don't like Reform but i can not dimiss the fact that some of their points hits home.

They have borrowed a page from Trump's playbook but in this case regarding foreign aid,WFA and funding education in this country.

Labour is in trouble

This is just nonsense, refund for what? Were you forced to apply for visa? Were you forced to submit fake document(which is common with average Nigerian) Were you forced to overstayed you visa and in most cases try to claim asylum?

Lets stop moaning and deal with the reason(s) for the high record of visa rejections.

It's illegal, you can go to jail for it

Council tax is already high, yet you pay water bill separately. These bills come monthly without enough inflow to settle them. These bills are not in your control. They are non negotiable

Living pay check to pay check isn't life. How can you be earning £1500 and your recurrent expenditure is £1200 . That's a rat race
It’s not illegal not to pay TV licence (not sure you know much about the UK system)

Yes you can renegotiate some bills and if you’re income is not enough to pay your bills then reconsider your location, reduce your outgoing or look for another job.

You don't pay tv licence n council tax in Nigeria

Rent isn't monthly in Nigeria

You don't pay insurance n road tax monthly in Nigeria

Parking ain't free in the uk

The issue is recurrent spending in the uk is high
Again..council tax pays for services rendered to you by the council and keep the city running, you are basically paying for services you enjoy.

You don’t have to pay for TV licence, thousands don’t pay it.

If you are struggling with monthly payments then how can you afford to pay yearly?

How about moving back to Nigeria where things are almost free?

While living in Nigeria we complain about the system not working even when we pay for services, you moved to the UK where the system works and you enjoy what you paid for and you are still complaining?

Where do you see Nigerians paying council tax, TV licence, road tax and all sorts of scam taxes?

Oyinbo defender.
The council tax you pay goes to road maintenance, policing, street cleaning, street lighting, bin collection and the list goes on, you don’t have to pay TV licence if you don’t watch live programmes.

You can see how good tax-free Nigeria is, good roads, police services are free, ambulances are free, free healthcare, no generator noise? Keep deceiving yourself

UK:

Unemployment
Underemployment - You have a degree but work as security guard or Uber driver.
High Taxes Depleting your Income
You pay rent.
Road Tax
Car Insurance
Water rate
Electricity rate
Child care fees if you are working and have kids. Nothing like ''housegirl'' there.
Council tax
Income tax
Phone rate

By month end you're broke.

Only a matter of time before they tax you for the air you breathe.

Of what use is ''good road'' and ''good educational system'' when your life is crap?

There are good roads in Nigeria too. Leave your village and move to Abuja or Uyo or Enugu. Fine roads everywhere and highly secured.

What is ''sub-standard'' about the health care and educational systems? These are the same systems that have produced world class individuals in all spheres, from doctors to engineers and scientists all over the world.

Everything African is always ''sub-standard'' in your 'oyinbo' worshipping heads.
So are you expecting the British govt to pay for things you used? Do you get those free in Nigeria?

If you don't want to pay bills then leave the UK and move to your village in Nigeria.

UK is a decaying former power. In 20 Years Nigeria will surpass it in GDP.
But even when that happens, Nigerians will still believe the UK is where they will find wealth.

I'm not against japa though, but Europe is a place to be comfortable and minimalisitic. The people there are not doing as well as people assume. US and Canada are the best possible options, but someone who a strong mind will thrive anywhere.

Those are the people who enjoys negative news and takes enjoyment in spreading it (perhaps for their personal gains).

I read it too and it's there on major newsrooms but it is not officially ratified. If it's going to take place i guess it will even start from Canada, Mexico , and followed by Arab nations .

Ask the person who is claiming inability to book an appointment but seeing available dates to screenshot his or her dashboard to the general public. I bet he or she won't reply again 😎

Continue spreading your own truth and good news. 👍
This is just nonsense, what is negative about reporting the news as its? Did Trump administration announced it or not?

I know you support Trump and his nonsense but don't attack people who are just reporting the news from your favourite leader.

Good afternoon, justwise and everyone.

The agent I used for my application made a mistake while filling my visa application.

He wrote: "I want to states that I had my previous study visa application withdraw due to school deadline for enrolment. I withdrew the application on 23rd January 2025"

To me this is grammatically incorrect based on the "states" and "withdraw" which were used wrongly.

I can't make any edit since we've paid the IHS and Visa Fees.

Should I cancel the application and start from scratch?
That shouldn't be a prob if you meets all the other requirements.

I doubt he will win this in Supreme Court, his lawlessness is shaking the foundation of American legal system. If he is not restrained the damage will be irreparable.
