Goodenoch: 1. You are shockingly prejudiced and it's amazing with how much confidence you've said something that's so utterly false and easy to disprove.
As of this year there are a total of 338 Jamaicans in UK prisons. The population of Jamaicans in the UK is a few hundred thousand. https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN04334/SN04334.pdf
2. I know a few people of Jamaican origin. Not one of them has '2-3 babymamas' or sells weed or any other drugs.
The point stands - If you, like lavida loca, know many drug dealers and baby papas of any ethnicity, it's a reflection of who you are more than that ethnicity. Majority does not mean all. No be today I know you here. Strawman perusual |

directonpc: Zahra29 is a dangerous person, and unfortunately, our community has many of them. Imagine making someone like the voice of people like us because they look like us. They'd make life hellish for people starting out in the same system that was favourable to them. Thank God man no be God. She/he is dangerous for submitting her perspective just because she is being outspoken? Really ? Some of you even call others naive. These are the reasons folks don’t contribute or ask questions here anymore. Alot of folks here want to control the narrative by denigrating the input of others and constantly trying to be right even when they are far from it. |

Zahra29: You've written a lot without actually saying a lot.
You're conflating 2 different things and have completely missed the point of my original post.
1. The discussion was not whether or not a British national is currently a net -ve or +ve relative to a recent migrant. Of course a Brit born and raised would be a -ve starting out. This is true of EVERY nation that invests properly in its young people. Just as you also are/were a net -ve to your home country due to your government subsidising your medical training.
2. The point, dear reader, is that it is a false claim that a recent migrant has paid more into the NHS (by paying the IHS) than his British peer. Using your example - if you came into the UK at e.g 28y/old and assuming you paid £3k IHS for an initial 3 year visa - it is ridiculous to think that this payment matches or exceeds the cumulative contributions of a 28 y/old junior doctor who has been working since he was 23
It's a very simple, obvious fact and no lengthy writeup can change this.
Erm, the bottom line is that since 2015 the government's position (including the current Labour government) is that it is reasonable for recent migrants to make some level of contribution towards the health service in order to access it in exactly the same way as nationals who have been paying in for years.
Many countries do not give newly arrived migrants comprehensive access to their health service on exactly the same terms as its citizens and residents. The only difference is the model used - most EU countries, AUS etc impose mandatory private insurance fees while the UK has chosen a flat fee model.
You should consider becoming a member of Parliament to effect the changes you desire from within. If "anchor baby" Kemi (as you love to denigrate her) can do it, so can you. Plus you already have nairaland votes to get you started. NL votes lol |

Viruses: Are you a messenger of doom? Your posts are always laced with negativity. You're so persimistic about the future that you had to go dig out a post from almost two months ago to drive fear.
Try something new, be positive, you will like it trust me. There are people/companies that will see opportunities in this same issue you're worried about. If you doubt me, share this your news with any AI and ask it to create an opportunity for you to leverage, the outcome will surprise you in a way you don't imagine. Not to drive fear but simply creating awareness. |

Goke7: The honest truth is these sorts of things doesn’t help our community in any way, it was a small number of people who engaged in bringing fake dependents all in the name of student visas that made the govt curtailed students from bringing in dependents, it was cos bandits despite how small the population is that also led to the ban of overseas care workers, we can keep saying oh other nationalities are involved but like I always say it’s the innocent and diligent ones that will always bear the brunt of these issues and no matter how much we cry that the policy makers are bigots it won’t help our cause in any way! This is incorrect. Their data indicates alot of people came in with family of 3, 4 dependant which results to locals unable to find spaces for their kids In school. |

Goodenoch: I don't think Nigerians are any more greedy than Brits or anyone else. There are always reports of one fraud or another and the vast majority aren't Nigerians. There's nothing about a couple of Nigerians doing whatever that justifies any bigotry, except for people looking for an excuse ab initio.
One thing that's often missed in these discussions is the sheer number of Nigerians, which means that in the same way we will be overrepresented in positive things (academic achievement, sports, entertainment etc.) we're likely to also form an outsized proportion of negative things as well. It's just statistics. Rarely would you see Indians or Pakistanis tho. |
