You are quite delusional. You are calling the British lazy but it is their systems, banking systems, technology, infrastruture, roads, buildings and and the country they developed over centuries that you think Nigerians should be more entitled to just because they are coming in to do menial jobs while parading as students?

If Nigerians are not lazy then how comes Nigeria is not as developed as the UK? Why are Nigerians running away from a country they have not developed and coming to the UK to call the citizens lazy as though they are the ones who built it?

Again this is about those on student visas abusing the system and it is not about the NHS but about schools and housing dealing with the unexpected influx of families.

Gemma11:
Not every black Nigerian person 'came' to the UK. Some of us are born and raised in this land. My parents were paying Uk taxes long before I was born here in London. I am now also paying my own share....na you get bad belle..lol

Anyway the reason why I contributed to this thread was just to help genuine students and Nigerian immigrants answer questions about life in the UK not those who want to play ojoro to fleece the system.

Gemma11:
So Nigerian citizens should take priority over British citizens because they paid?

In any case there are many British citiizens who have paying into the NHS for years and they have never used it so your logic is off.

Gemma11:
How did they pay?
Nigerians coming into the UK may have paid less than $2k for visa fees and you think that is more than people and their parents in the UK who have been taxes for nigh on 50 plus years?

I am comparing Indian Students to Nigerian students and not those on any other visa..when we are talking about people abusing the student visa route it is Nigerians not Indians.

Gemma11:
If they came in on work visas, then they both parents can work unlimited hours and pay into the system

Also work visas are most times only given out to highly skilled individuals and we all know that Indians are the majority in the Tech industry which means they could be contractors on around £600+ a day or on £85k+ a year salaries
I work in Tech myself and most of my team members are new from India.

Gemma11:
The Indians who come with their families are actually on work visas, not student visas. There is a difference. The ones of Student visas are mostly genuine.

See the chart here.

Gemma11:
Yeah her focus should be on Nigerians because they are abusing the system.

Students are normally single people

Students consisting of a grown man/wife & partner with 3- 5 kids is not normal and taxing on the system. Yes they are paying for healthcare but are they also paying for school places, books, pens, free food and all the other amenities that these children use? It is something when British Born children can't find a place in school because a new Nigerian immigrant child has taken their place.

There are more Indians and Chinese coming in as students than Nigerians but these are genuine students coming alone to study. It is the Nigerians who are packing whole families here.

Suella will be back. She probably only resigned so that she could do so before the PM.

The screenshot was saying majority of dia citizens don’t care about doing masters. !

That why he started by saying “the countries we pay so much money to do MASTERS, dia home citizens don’t give a fuccck about doing masters degree”

How can someone graduate from UNIBEN at the age of 25 , then 15 years later (40yrs), he now suddenly remembers he wants to do masters !!!… lol

Buhari has finished us … lol
God abeg !!!

Uzomarrr12345:
That quote is saying , majority of dia home citizens don’t really further dia schooling after getting Bsc !

A lady once said something in one interview, the university she attended, she said “about 50% of the masters students were Nigerians , then inside the remaining 50% self , about 30% were from other nationals like Uganda , Kenya , India , Pakistan etc …”

Just around 20% were actually British citizens doing dia masters … majority were from different nationals !

When did Nigerians suddenly love schooling this much

How come we are not seeing them wanting to do masters in prestigious Universities like Babcock or even convenant university… lol

We all know 90% don’t have genuine intentions about studying … it just all about the escape !

Uzomarrr12345:
Seriously, let’s just pray Nigeria gets good leadership and get the country working again !!!

No place like home !

90% of Nigerians wanting to do masters all of a sudden is just to escape , not genuine intentions of studying. !

A 40 year old man was giving testimony in church last Sunday of getting a UK student visa .

It is well .

A lot of care companies are doing this for Dom care ....its frightening, new people are just entering road even one week after they came all in the name of pressure and fear of COS withdrawal , using their foreign driving licence

Even if you are a very experienced driver, its not easy to just enter road like that , but so many dom care jobs are ignoring safety and requiring it

In my cousin work place , some Zimbabwe came and in 3 weeks she had a major car accident .this was 2 months ago, she hasn't healed and not back to work. It could have been fatal for her and she could have added join an innocent person to die

I been saying this thing , why are dom care requesting new people to drive up and down. Driving is not easy, then the pressure of even finding the house and going up and down so soon after arrival

Hello

That letter will need to come from the bank stating the IT issues with evidence

My thoughts are there is still time to correct this and the OP should try to do so since it is still at CAS stage

I know someone had almost same issues but at visa stage and towards the end or so, I think she was still successful but it's a big risk to take


If the OP wants to take that risk, well he can

Cheers

He only counted 10days so he can start counting afresh. Better to wait an extra 10days than to start explaining.

Good evening, observed that the lump sum in my POF was debited yesterday, contacted the bank and I was told it was system error, it was later returned…having “reversal” as it’s narration within the space of two hours. Please is it possible I still continue reading the POF from the initial date the Lump sum entered(10days ago) or from today?

P.S: POF is for CAS

Hello guys. I have a serious issue. I arrived the UK few weeks ago. My employer wanted to give me the company car today for visiting clients and told a south African guy to accompany me to test my driving. It was quite different from the manual car i drove in naija and I had issues putting it in gear one. The guy just looked at me for close to ten minutes as I tried to put it in gear one in the roads in and afterwards he shouted on me to come down tgat that he is going to report me to the office that I can't drive. He drove to the office and worked in to discuss with the boss. My boss didn't wait to hear from me and said I have to go back to my country since I can't drive. I insisted I can drive. She said she can't enter the car to test my driving but my manager convinced her to and joined at the back. She however explained how to put it in gear one and I drove them for a short distance.

She said I should come and drive her husband round the city tomorrow to prove my driving prowess. She insisted i get a car immediately and said my case will be determined tomorrow.

I heard the SA guy is bringing his sister-in-law to the company. Don't know what to think right now or what to say to them tomorrow. I need advice

Damtos0903361:
This group is quite oooooo, hope no problem? Where are those that are criticising? The problem they have is they are not matured enough in giving advice

Thank you bro.

I appreciate

I'll keep you all posted.

Please what do I look at for when buying on eBay o, I’ve not used it before

@lexusgs460

OmichaelO:
sincere apologies lol. I was too vague

S22 or pixel 7

OmichaelO:
samsung or google pixel. But the latter is not very appealing to me

Treadway:
This is not an issue of sham marriages and/or shady study POF. T[b]his is the whites once again showing their disdain and showing you that they can spit in your face all they want[/b]. There are two clear issues, which are valid but it is still of their own design.

Ironically, this is being championed by someone who is from an immigrant household.

First issue is they say una immigrants dey unskilled. Yep, all ye top people going to do care jobs are unskilled as far as the UK is concerned. How? You all aren't contributing enough to the GDP to justify your presence. Immigrants have to do 17x extra to get good jobs with good salary in UK standards, not naira conversion. Meaning whatever taxes you think you are paying now is not significant enough. The population is increasing due to the influx, but GDP per capita is reducing because the influx are not contributing enough to the economy due to the fact that they are in unskilled low level jobs. This is a fact, but like I said it is their own design.

Second issue, that concerns Nigerians negatively is that bar chart that was in the news last week or so. That bar chat is like a flashing neon light screaming 'these Nigerians need serious attention'. We aren't the highest number of immigrants but we have the overwhelmingly highest student-dependednt ratio, basically 1:1, while other that have almost x7 of student population have like ratio 9:1 and even higher. That is LOUD and warrant attention by any analyst. So, you see, another fact, but this one is not totally of their design, but can I blame the Nigerians who are moving their families along with them, because their true purpose of travelling wasn't studying? I would be called a bad belle if I said that, but ask yourslef if it is a lie. It is clear to them that Nigerians particularly aren't really coming for study.

Two things will happen now. One, they will still make admissions easy, but post-study will be limited to only specific fields, skills, experiences. Everyone else gets 6mth to a year PSW, after which failure to get job sponsorship, you're out. Second, they will cap the number of dependants that can come to 1 (they may limit this to just Nigeria). This will put a lot of people in a dilemma. Family man wey get wife and two children, who will be the dependent??.

Cc Jedisco I'd like to hear your thoughts on my points

OmichaelO:
You people should come to my rescue o, my phone suddenly died yesterday night, Looking at it, it might cost up to 500 to fix considering what I’m seeing on their website.

My question is, I’m just 2 months in, can I get a contract phone or just buy another one outrightly?

Which store or outlet will allow contract? Is buying used phone advisable also here? If I was in home, Nairaland deal hunters would have been best bet

@lexusgs460, justwise and all. Please advise me.
