Fred2020: Kemi’s main miscalculation was believing she could run a campaign that paints migrants as the root of Britain’s problems and speaks down to them, yet still expect either migrants or native Britons to find her appealing — despite being a migrant herself.
She may be trying to recalibrate her approach now, but the damage is already done.
Nigel, on the other hand, can run an anti-migrant campaign that pins society’s problems on migrants or EU citizens because he is British.
In Surrey, historically a Conservative stronghold every single by-election this year has flipped seats from conservatives to the Lib Dems or Reform. The party is on track to be wiped out here, and the same pattern is playing out in many other places. You captured it all, i will never vote for kemi in any capacity, i will actively encourage anyone to vote against her. Kemi will never win Gen election even if she ran against a hamster. |

OgbeniOptional: I am and I can only speak for the state I am. I am definitely not for Trump and the human rights abuse. If you show your papers or ID, they will let you go. I definitely do not like that i have to walk around with my passport, I-20 and I-94 but that is America right now. The only time they were in my city was to take two Asylum seeker brothers who were charged for murder, the court later discovered they are undocumented and called ICE on them. If you are legal, no crimes, you have nothing to fear. Nothing ICE is doing right now that Ibadan SARS haven't done to me. This is the reality of America rn sir. I guess that ends this argument |

The reason for my going to Spain is to seek Asylum. Please help a novice brother who has never left 9ja before. You will be deported back to Nigeria as you are a Nigerian and not Portuguese. |

HustlaOfLagos: I still stand by what I said
You did not expect or anticipate this to be the case or you would not have argued about it that time. I remember you saying that people can switch after 5 years to whatever role they want and this was pointed out as being laughable given the years lost while doing HC roles
You also gave examples of people making it in HC roles and a particular example of someone driving a Range Rover or something, comfortably ignoring COS scammers like MC Olumo and his ilk.
Now that there is new information suggesting your advice was bad, you do not also want to backtrack and admit it was bad advice in retrospect Are you struggling to understand what you read from my post or what? I direct you to my first statement when you asked me the same damm question before and that has not changed. |

HustlaOfLagos: If you did not anticipate all these despite all the statistics they have been publishing for at least 2 years, then you should rescind the advice you gave at the time.
Advising MSc holders to be on minimum wage jobs for 5 years is not it and definitely not what the UK wants / expected to happen when the student visa stuff was open around 2021. This formed the basis of what was said by The Migration Advisory Committee and is part of the reason why we are seeing these crazy rules
You will not find a British MSc holder doing care jobs.
 This is just nonsense, so those who came direct from Nigeria with COS got no masters or degree? Is not what the UK wanted as well? |

My point? Even without the abuse, these laws would have come into effect one or the other. Yes the abuse of the visa route brought about this harsh policy. How did the black and brown people get into the country? |

HustlaOfLagos:

I remember when Justwise used to blame all and sundry for speaking about healthcare visas and saying Nigerians can switch to whatever career they want after 5 years even though the signs were there that the gov would soon start to target that sector.
I wonder if he still shares the same sentiment Yes I still share the same sentiment. What is happening now is not unexpected considering the level of abuse carried out by mainly Nigerians and Indians, I only feel sorry for genuine visa holders who played by the book but unfortunately the sins of others are rubbed on innocent ones. The policy is very very harsh beyond what I anticipated but no country will tolerate this level of visa abuse, though UKIV helped in someways encouraged the abuse. |

That’s one reason I like elections or voting, they put an end to endless debates. Some people usually course correct pretty quickly or simply persist and stand on their principles. Fine either way.
Good news is, it seems the govt has finally woken up and are doing all they can to avert Trump’s intervention. Let’s hope they sustain it and put a stop to it once and for all. Oh! please don't say that, my position on this hasn't changed and it i will never. I stopped replying those that qouted my post because i dont want to keep repeating myself |

jedisco: I find it worrying that despite asking repeatedly, the only solution you're offering to what is increasingly the certain demise of many Nigerians is for them to sit and wait for their turn. My posts on this have been clear. Never been a fan of Trump (even opined he may be looking to bully Nigeria and Africa through this). Neither am I oblivious of his possible underlying motives. However, I cannot tell those who have seen their villages decimated over the last decade to sit and wait for their turn. What is worrying here is the fact that you knew that American military intervention will lead to disaster in Nigeria but in an attempt to sound sympathetic you are still suggesting that military intervention is the only solution for the killing going on. I have listed a number of possible solutions here but as that is not what you want to hear you keep asking me to repeat it again and again. |

Travel › Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by justwise(mod): 10:56am On Nov 09, 2025 |
jedisco: I'm struggling to get your practical take on this.
Some folks in Jos pushed to raise awareness of this in the U.S after years of begging for help
1. What is your advise to folks in Jos or southern Kaduna who have seen village after vilage decimated and much of their kit and kin killed? All this happened while they were begging the Nigerian society to come to their rescue. What would be your advise- should the remaining residents of Kagoro sit and beg the government while waiting for their turn to be killed?
2. What if it was your village and relatives being affected- would that change your response? If 17 members of your family were machetted down in a day (like someone I know), would your response still be to keep waiting for the government?
Lastly, If the answer is to beg the government, how long do they need to do that before it becomes obvious it's not working? Do you know the strange thing about many of you in support of American military intervention is that you can not provide a single evidence that it has ever worked anywhere in the world but you still support it. Let me ask you this...give me one country that America has helped militarily to bring about peace and security, one. If America truly care about the 'cherished Christians in Nigeria and want to put pressure on Nigeria govt to do more then there are many other tools they can use to intensify the pressure..sanction Nigerian politicians, seize their assets, travel ban including their families, work with Nigerian military by sharing intelligent about the location of these militants, cut off their weapon supply channel, supply Nigerian military with weapons, the same level of support Israel received to go after Hamas in Gaza and outside Gaza city. America did all that without carrying out air strike or putting foot on ground. You know why they haven't do that or interested in doing that? This is not about cherished Christians getting killed, they want to get hold of Nigerian natural resources and control the govt as they have done in every single country they forced their way into. If you think that the American govt give a sh.t about the killing in Nigeria then i want you to pass over to me whatever you have been smoking |

Zahra29: I believe under the Danish model, temporary means until their home country is judged to be safe to return. For example Denmark recently deemed Syria a safe country and refused to renew the residence permits of Syrian refugees.
We'll find out more when the policy details are announced, but I imagine that if an asylum seeker enters into a genuine and subsisting marriage with a British citizen, and meets relevant legal requirements, then they should be allowed to settle under the spousal route. That is the loophole in this policy, this policy is not actually new, yrs ago Zimbabweans were allowed to stay in the UK when Mugabe was running his thing until when Zimbabwean situation gets better |
