Thortp:
OP, please tell us exactly what you want us to do.
To me, it's obvious your comments are discouraging.

I will only believe people like you until you can mention at least 5 positive things about UK.

I don't know why it has become a problem for an adult to take a necessary decision about his life.

What type of citizens are Nigerians? OMG

Gerrard59:
Even though we have disagreed previously, you pointed out the inconsistencies and hypocrisies of the people you quoted. As someone who dislikes hypocrites, I give you a 10/10.

Treadway:
nah just showing sensible people your stinking hypocrisy.

You can say people can drop dead next minute about your own people here (and I mean that literally, your people can drop dead any minute, not my people)

But

I can't say your car or house is not yours until it is fully paid. That you are only a borrower until you pay up.

Lol

korilala:
Good morning everyone. I'll keep this brief. This is the year I finally take that step and leave this country.
I have some money saved but I do not want to make any mistakes.
What are the steps and processes if I want to apply for a student visa to travel to Canada and what are the steps and processes if I want to go through a work visa.
Please seniors in the house I need your genuine advice.
Happy new year everyone.

Regex:
I wanted to say, it's high time we ignore him and the other, however they will continue to mislead them. After UK, they will start targeting people who wants to migrate in general.

Treadway:
our realities say diff. Just an educated guess. Chances that you achieved at my age what I have achieved with the cards I have been dealt to date? Very slim sir. I don't mean for it to sound prideful, but it is what it is sha

Also, just to chip in, YOU went into this personal zone. Just registering that.

Regex:
I have a phone on contract tho, so I just stabilised enough to pay it on time recently.

Treadway:
lol.

I have never created a thread on the UK, ever. I have better use of my time and resources. I do chime in from time to time to quash some falsities when they are been propagated, from a place of prideful boasting nonetheless, and I always do it with evidence and facts. Thankfully, facts always trump emotional or prideful BS. I am all for balanced reportage devoid of blind emotionalism, discussing pros and cons while most of you only do the pros.

What are your comments about the deafening flagrant negativity about Nigeria? You havent picked up on that? Some here literally say people who choose to stay for reasons best known to them can drop dead at any moment, yet Bob Marley's grandson died of mere asthma, in the heavenly US where no one dies, and everyone lives forever. Lol

The point is, why can you say a thing about an issue and it is facts, but if i say the exact same thing it is evil bad belleism?

As per your other comment, I believe you are older than I am so you may know more about 'life', but I am 100% confident I know more about wealth creation than you do. Not to mention, even your knowledge of life can be subject to scrutiny cos like I said if you can't see this double standard, then....

Treadway:
emotional outburst. No negativity here.

Regex:
They think it is easy to build credit score to afford a mortgage. They think it's every Dick and Harry can just get mortgage like that.


Me that my credit score is looking like pass mark.

Treadway:
really. What evidence do you or anyone have that I am looking for negativity or bad news for people that only exist in pixels and words as far as I know? I don't give a rat's ass about some online people anywhere on the globe that have no impact or bearing or connection to me. That is preposterous.

The question is why can you talk to people about the reality of the likelihood of low level jobs as being what to expect and it is all good, and yet I say same thing and it isn't the reality? That is the koko of my question. Your screenshots below are evidence enough

I posed a question during an exchange we had sometime ago. I From then till now, I have lost count of the number of people that have talked about their job in this same travel section since then (UK esp) and it is a no-brainer that it is exactly like I said, as with over 200 people I know in the UK that are doing FOR NOW, low-level jobs. You said I was a liar, you said pocohantas was lying too. I am not looking down on anyone, I'm just saying it as it is. If you are coming to the UK without special skills or profession (HCP, tech, or finance) you most likely will do those jobs. The problem is when I say that it strikes a nerve, but when you or other japarians say it like the below screenshots, it is enlightenment. If you can't see the hypocrisy, then.....


What is my concern with mortgage decision or arrangement of a stranger, not my money not my borrowing. The problem is it appears only conformist people are allowed to have a peaceful opinion on these matters. Anyone who isn't in the fold and dares to echo even same opinion is evil and wishfully looking for bad news of others. See why I said it was funny earlier?
Cheers!

Treadway:
No long talk. (Sike )

Over time, I have noticed a pattern with fellas here, a pattern that comes off as hypocritical.

First time I saw it was when Munamoqel (who was a lil bit extra admittedly) made a comment about mortgage arrangement of a member and was called bad-belle and got a proper bashing when he said the member can only call the said house his/hers when the mortgage is fully paid in X years. Two days later a gentleman in the same thread who lives in the UK said the exact same thing to another member and it was considered enlightenment (not like we all dont know what mortgage or car financing means).

Second time, a member in the health thread that has over a thousand helpful posts in that thread (based in the Uk) but the zealots didn't know or were too emotional) was bashed heavily by some zealots for simply stating a truth with regard to the current state of things as per the care work and all that. It was only until I and some others called them out on their BS and to see the profile of who they were bashing that they took their words back and agreed to the 'enlightenment' (again, in this instance, was not hidden knowledge as most know as e dey go).

Third, I have had a few of these exchanges where I say this is red, and peeps counter aggressively by saying it is blue, but wait a few hours/days/weeks and you'll see those same peeps agreeing/saying it is red when giving 'enlightenment' to others eg the fact that aside healthcare and tech professionals, most immigrants do low-level jobs (care, warehouse, cashier, security etc for at least 1-2 years).

Fourth, look at the link/screenshots below. If I Treadway, wrote those analysis which are facts and indicative of the realities, I would likely be told by at least three people that I am a bad-belle and don't know what I am saying, but since a japarian said it, no fight, no heat, no debate.

This is a new year. Let's change and do better. We all cannot sleep and face the same place. Critical analysis and saying things as they are should be the watchword, with no recourse to whether the person lives in Nigeria or UK or USA or Canada. Intelligent people are intelligent regardless of location. I think it is hypocritical and unintelligent that I can't say the things that these fine gentlemen and ladies have said in these screenshot without getting heat for stating facts, heat that they are not getting simply because they currently reside in the UK.

It is actually quite funny

sugarkemi:
Planning to have soon. Just got married last year.

Chikadibia21:
Your opinions are very valid. However, what is missing here is empathy. The lady is blind, and might genuinely feel her disability might count for something.
I honestly do not think she was feeling entitled, and it would be equally wrong for you to assume so...

sugarkemi:
Happy new year. Please I need a sincere advice for my next move.I got admission to southwales for Feb intake . I'm making 6 digits monthly here in Nigeria.I have a wife.As a Student with dependent is it possible for both of us to be saving like 3k pounds in a month.

https://www.nairaland.com/6829885/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled Yes it can be used, but without ielts of 8777 ( 8 in listening) and 3 years work experience. You cannot score 465 and above. Go and redo your ielts

ramalot:
That's a good idea, but unfortunately, when mods move a post to the home page, the original post can no longer be edited.

So Justwise and DisGuy, if you can make it so people can't quote the original post, that would be great.

AgentXxx:
Thanks for this detailed explanation but why am I paying a percentage after one year if I have finished paying for the bike before then.

AgentXxx:
Well done Sirs/Mas, I need to make enquiry on this cycle to work scheme, please hope it’s not public funds. And anyone can explain in lame man terms as am not understanding all this online jargons and am eager to get a bike for work before the holiday runs out.

SultanOfPuna:
I don't condone fraud at all

But let's be real

British soldiers looted the Bleep out of Nigeria back in those olden days.
Karma is real, it might take years upon years
But it MUST HAPPEN

I don't condone fraud or Yahoo
Looking at it from an ethereal angle all I see is Yahoo boys playing the same role the British soldiers played when they looted our land for resources.
Now they are being scammed and looted by the people they looted years ago.
Both of them hurt Many people in the process

It's just karma in action.

Ayomidelabaeka5:
Hi I have a question please, I am EU citizen and my husband has been refused twice for EUSs family permit because the eco wasn’t satisfied that we are really married, now he wants to come by student visa and he has everything ready and also declared the refusals in his application and my details well. Has anyone gone through this please?

Skyeyeye:
I see. You're a person who reasons with emotion - a typical myopic Nigerian. Did you watch the CCTV footage that was presented? Did the CCTV capture his face or it's just a mere body structure or complexion of a/another black man? Regarding the DNA, the prosecutor presented a DNA result that shows he's guilty and the defense attorney presented another DNA result that shows he's not guilty. Now, Justwise that lives far in the UK with zero experience in law, who are you to say he's guilty?

You're a feeble-minded person, and I will tell you why. Saying the man might be innocent doesn't mean I support rape. It just depicts I don't want the wrong person to be punished while the actual perpetrator is out there on a raping sprees.

Please stop mentioning me, because your illogical reasoning irritates me to the last straw.

Skyeyeye:
Imagine what you are saying. What do you call a rapist apologist? The man claims he didn't commit the crime but you, an ordinary mod who's living over 4000 miles away from the crime scene is saying he raped her for sure.

Can you listen to yourself?

MufasaLion:
You sound more dumber than imagined. You're nothing but a cheap, ignorant, uncouth, unintelligent and shameless clout-chaser.
