Treadway:
yen yen yen, everyone else makes claims, only you speak facts. Over 200 that followed your kin advice, that is their reality. Many that will follow it will still find it to be the reality. If you ain't a nurse or top tier in tech or finance and you're heading or have headed to the UK on study visa hustle, come back and shame this post, with a job tag other than care worker, or sales boy/girl. Cheers

What Pocohantas said as related to the bolded is true to a T, as seen in my circle too.

I don't know where you get the 200 people figure from..i guess one of those made-up figures just to make a point.

Your post is full of falsehoods and lack of understanding of how things work when it comes to relocating to any country not just the UK.

Whether you are a nurse of 5-6 tier in tech you are likely to struggling for some years before finding your feet, it will even get harder when you are a student, but things will definitely change if you don't listen to fear mongers like you.

Very few people land abroad and kick start things withing a year, many will do jobs outside their skill set until they get what they want.

Some of these delays are immigration status related while some are lack of in-country experiences.

Like i said before ..i read posts here and smh

Treadway:
to your first question, I won't call it struggle, I would say that is their current reality, and it is something I wouldn't want to be my reality. To your second question, don't know, don't care. Why should I? I'm in Nigeria, 'innit'?

Exactly why i called it careless comment because nobody cares about facts anymore. Just random online post.

I do hope that those planning to relocate will do the dd and not base their decision on these careless comments here

Treadway:
not a careless comment. She has friends who have left for the UK...as do I. Aside two, that got jobs from here, one as a Nurse and the other a radiologist, everyone else I know who has left for the UK on this study visa as dependant in over a year now are either working at the cash register, bagging products at a factory or doing care job. Her own na 80%, mine na cool 99%. They keep encouraging me, and I keep hesitating cos I just can't do that. And yes, they also hardly see or have time for one another..as one person dey close for one shift, the other dey resume him/her own. Majority of ppl are leaving, and they still communicate with us back home, so it isn't hard at all to see the patterns and know what's what. Everything Poco said is consistent with what my contacts there are expert to a T. And I'm talking about over 200 people.

You have contacts of over 200 people who left Nigeria in the last 1yr and they are all struggling? Let me ignore my thought about that claim and ask you this? Do you know how many years it takes an average immigrant to settle in the UK?

pocohantas:
Lol. All this money to go do care jobs and barely see one another? I am very pro-japa, but this whole UK thing is beginning to look like an organised scam.

Damm!! i read posts here and keep shaking my head at the level careless comment here.

So its only care job are available to people relocating to the UK? Even in that care job do you know how many jobs that are available within that sector? People don't see one another?

Some of the things people living abroad tell those in Nigeria is just away to avoid financial demand or other favours because if you paint a rosy picture the begging plate is out.

Definitely not everyone relocating will succeed because of poor planning and over expectation.

hustla:
Did they give any warning in 2012?

And did it apply to everyone or those just coming in?

It affected mostly those who are here already, unless people are given two years warning else it going to affect those at the beginning of their courses and those mid-way.

In 2012 a year warning was given

LagosismyHome:
Lawsuit will fly left and right...the UK never behave like that . If they remove it , it would be for incoming student not those already here

They did that in 2012 but i did not hear of any lawsuit

mizGene:
I would expect the law will apply to new intakes..everyone already in should still be entitled.

That can only be fair..i hope they give prospective students a enough warning before implementing it .

deept:
.

Removing PSW after many arrived here hoping to get one? This is exactly what they did in 2012 and a lot of students missed out.

This is going to be an unfair treatment.

level10:
My folks were “very very” illegal migrants at the time.
Justwise ,You would have gone farther in life if you took time out to learn more than you crumbs you know!

The word SURELY show high level of dopiness, especially on subject you don’t know about.

You have showed your prowess in researching yet you fail in understanding.
Feel free to Ask questions and study the variables more.

Ps…Since you are so busy putting the pieces of my history together,I May as well link you up with my pops.

The gods has spoken! I mean you can only say that if you knew my immigration journey here or know me by any chance.

That apart... so your mum&daddy lived and worked here illegally as a nurse and an engineer for 27yrs in the system that hates blacks?

You are really something else.

Lexusgs430:
I would have asked, honestly.......

I intentionally ignore that and gave him all the info i have, since then he hasn't got back to me

koonbey:


Unrelated: That is exactly the question I always ask moaners.

Recently someone was asking my advice on whether to move and was telling me all sorts of horror stories their relative had told them, to support the stance that UK is bad and Nigeria is better.

So I asked 'Oh does that your relative live in Lagos too now?'

No prizes for guessing the answer lol.

In 2018 i travelled to Nigeria and a friend visited me, while we were chatting he asked if i have investments in Nigeria i said no and explained t issues i have with investing in Nigeria.

This brother started telling me why its important to invest in Nigeria and not the UK and one of the many reasons he gave was that...one day the white man can decide to strip all foreigners of their citizenship and ask us to leave, no place like home, you are a king and lion bla bla bla

Last year he contacted me asking for info about relocating to the UK as Nigeria situation is unbearable...i remembered to ask him about his comment few years ago but i held my peace.

My point is..no place is heaven but where ever you found yourself make an effort to enjoy it else move...

Lexusgs430:
Inspector Columbo, got nothing on you .......

I mean if you were born here and your mum&dadd lived and worked here for 27yrs surely they are citizens or have ILR, that also means that you are eligible for citizenship, so how did you skip all that and come here on spouse visa?

level10:
I was born here in the late 80’s and lived here for 3years before being sent back to Nigeria,God bless my parents ,a railway engineer and nurse .They would Later move home in 2007 after 27years .

Justwise You show a lot of ignorance when you dismiss people’s experiences and give advice based on margins of your beliefs.
I said what I said.Even with a Brit pass,we are lowest rated.

Your story does not add up as you add some unnecessary details.

level10:
Abeg help a brother.
How do I get a job as an engineer here in the uk.
I have been working in a care home since I arrived here 6months ago on spousal visa.
I studied mech engineering in Nigeria.
Please what do I need to do to be able to work as an Engineer.

I asked you before when you will be returning back to Nigeria considering your opinion about the UK.

I know the answer to that question as i have come across a lot of people like you before

They have nothing good to say about the UK but they will never leave, they blame everything on racism apart from themselves.

Everything doesn't have to be linked to the colour of our skin, we need to know our short comings and work on it rather than always blaming someone else even when we failed because we are not good enough.

Munamoqel:
avoid doing this here you don't own the thread or nairaland !

If you start insulting people just because they have a different view then i will ban you from this section.

Everyone of us are free to contribute without receiving insult from anybody here.

Now feel free to shout bully as much as you want.

Munamoqel:
let I said earlier .you head no correct .U are ADVICING a Nigerian Millionare to come work like you and become miserable like you for years abi just to appreciate wages been paid to drivers .

Avoiding doing this here, this is will not be allowed.

Munamoqel:
it's no more a big achievement to study in the UK in Nigeria the Universities dish out admission like recharge cards and with the points based system and borrow POF and small change must Nigerians can afford it .any thing easy to get has low returns you wonder why Canada and. Australia visa are hard to get cos the reward is high while UK is easy Cos reward is low . anyway I have attended both Universities of Wolverhampton and Abeerdeen at different time and I can see there rackets well .UK is for wealthy folks not majority of japa crew ! I dey craze I give oyinbo Man 20000 pounds tution fees when his fellow oyinbo no get and need loan to pay . NDDC ,PDTF,NEDC ,TEDFUND pay the tuition then take study leave . Na MuMu dey sell properties and business to go on teir 4 ( designed to milk non EU people )

In dreams?

LagosismyHome:
Uk have only like samsung, iPhone and maybe one or two other makers so not a lot of options.... if you are looking for just something to use, there is one £120 ish samsung with 64gb that is ok to use

Uk has far more than that, there are really good mid-range phones out there that can challenge house-hold names like iPhone and Samsung

Check Oneplus phones, Oppo, poco, xiaomi and the latest one called Nothing phone 1, these phones are all android and pretty good

Munamoqel:
My friend sold his school with 150 student paying 600k per annum with a gross income of 90m per annum and a net income of 40m . His wife successful convinced him to Japa to the uk with visa .now he can't live to the standard he left in Nigeria and he planning to reverse Japa .don't sell your successful business to Japa to the Uk . millions of uk citizen's are also facing hard time . The school have serious growth potentials ! Developing nation are Haven for smart enterprenures cos under development bring opportunities.

Another made up story to help your obsession with the UK.

In less than a year you have started 15 threads about the UK since you tried to study there but could not afford it then suddenly the UK is a scam.
You always know someone or have a friend who has bitter story to tell about the UK, dude give yourself a break! Let those who wants to travel do that and stop this cry-me-a-river stories

level10:
When I got to Liverpool,I lived between Zimbabwe family and a Brit single mom of 3kids.
Her kid play the roughest I’ve seen.One time the little boy had his lip almost cut off when he fell.Ambulance/police arrived and boy got admitted for a week and came back home.Mom swears at them and cussing their dad’s publicly.Infact she was delusional.

The Zimbabwe guy was a normal black guy,minding his business but the day one of the kids unfortunately rolled down the stairs,there where no physical injuries .He personally took the child to GP for checks
That was the beginning of problems.2sec they involved safe guarding and police,the zim guy flared up,because he felt it wasn’t that serious.2sec they changed it to angry black man.
Long story short ,they took his 2 kids and he had to battle for months to get em back.

There is nothing in this story that justifies your claim that white hates blacks.

If you hang around people with this mindset then you will struggle to survive in this country . No race is perfect, look for something positive in people and not always focus on negative and conspiracy theories.

Are we blacks love and care for each other?

Good luck

level10:
I know You ve lived here long enough to grab what I’m saying.

I don't, please give example to support your claim.

level10:
We all are on a different journeys bro and what I’m saying is,the system is not fair to blacks if you choose to live in denial,it’s absolutely fine.

Give us an example

level10:
Illusion if inclusion!!!!
I lived in Malaysia for 4years,and December would make it 2years since I moved here .I have a seen a lot of their type .i know what I’m saying .keep deceiving yourself !!!

No you don't, you are just full of negativity, so when are you moving back to Nigeria considering your 2yrs negative experience here?

level10:
Be smart when you think and type,The deceit of Free health care (that you pay heavily for) ,good road,mc Donald’s burger ,and your 8hrs slavery job has made you feel like you are part of them.Wake up !!!!!!
Race will forever be an issue,except for the fact that you might be a JJc so, ko ti ri kan kan.
The exact issue a white man will get away with,a black man may never get away with.How long have you lived abroad??Wake up!!!!!
Have you walked down a street and you see how some cross over to avoid you in 2022

What do you know about how this system works ?
You are obviously still in the illusion of being abroad,so you can’t see past the Aldi and Lidl chicken you eat.
When push comes to shove,we are just minorities,even with the red passport ,we are least rated.






Come and tell me race doesn’t matter in 5years and I spare you some time.

You are just less than a year in the UK and you have all these in your head? A bit of open mindedness will go a long way.

If we keep walking around with race card on our back pocket it will be difficult to deal with actual racist situation

teeboi77:
@Justwise and other gurus..

Are earnings from survey site subject to tax or are they classified as self employed?

Response will be appreciated

No

bepositive11:
Thank you!!! But which rule number should we enter when reporting?

5 or 6

ThisPower:
Thank you very much.
Please, when people begin to report PPRs cos they FEEL it's fake to them and they can't waka pass, kindly use your own description and instinct to handle such case. You have been here for so long to know the truth.
Nobody will be happy to take out time to type their ppr then it gets deleted cos someone reports it as fake due to their feelings and unsatisfaction, cos one thing,one thing is missing.

I just hope this thread goes back to how it was before where ppr was a thing of joy to see without bitterness.

Back to my silent member mode.
Ire ooo

I know fake one when I see it.

@all

Please let’s not derail this thread arguing about fake or no fake PPR, when you see one that looks fake just report it, don’t quote the post, I will sort it out.

And to those coming here to thank agents that helped you in private…I will remove your posts because that is considered as an ad.

If you contacted an agent privately and pay for his/her services then thank the agent privately too when you get your visa. Please don’t come to promote the agent .

Thank you

rayralph:
You clearly need to sit back and understand the subject matter before rushing to provide a response.

For instance, I have a poultry business in Nigeria. I can still manage it virtually from the UK (student visa)

Isn’t that self employed, how does it concern home office ?

Or if I sell my beat making skills to producers and artists in Nigeria.

The only thing here is to avoid offering service(s) to anyone in the UK

You cannot be self employed(run a business) IN the Uk

No you need to understand this case from the beginning. Go back to read it because your analogy here is off point as it got nothing to do with freelancing

rayralph:
Balance me real quick and be realistic

you expect an individual to ditch his naija based consulting business because he’s holding a UK student visa ?

This got nothing to do with your previous answer.

And to your question… yes I expect the person to read the student visa rules before considering coming to the UK to study and if the rule says no self employment then it’s what it’s else consider other countries with favourable student visa rules.

If you get caught working as self employed then your interpretation and excuses here hold no water.

DoDirtsLikeWorm:
I know the Rule and I am never a fan of private chat. Knew this since 2015 that I joined.

That Account which I logged in today has been banned again for no just cause. NAIRALAND GCMS NOTE said I posted false information, How?

JustWise has been my enemy but I can live with that.

All I did was posting an address in order not to make mistakes. I only have 5 trials and I reached out to those who has been there before me to help me separate Paul from Barnabas and boom* I got banned.

That screenshot you attached here clearly stated that ant-spambot banned you but somehow that ant-spambot is justwise?

You quickly write some nonsense on your signature falsely accusing me of something i did not do even as i unbanned you from the spambot?

You are just a perfect example why i don't look back when dealing with certain characters here

rayralph:
Self employed in this case is if you offer a service to UK citizens and/or receive payments into your UK BANK account.

Self employed is self employed it got nothing to do with who use your services

Please I just sent you mail now, check your mail box and respond accordingly in order to guide me well. Thank you.

This is not true, you are such an unreasonable person and i can't stand characters like you
