Accommodation in Birmingham is an uphill struggle, with Asian landlords charging over the odds for half decent properties....... I was at ulster campus last week for a graduation ceremony, it felt like unilag (considering the roll call).... 😂

Would see if I can get you any decent leads......
Chinatown folks have taken over taken over birmingham. They have extended their investment to London now buying houses all over.

I encourage people to try, not to limit themselves.. The fact that it's not the norm doesn't mean it can't happen, we just have to try. I was told not to attend the interview because it was a mistake, I attended. I was told not to take the offer seriously, yet I was adamant and landed the UK. I entered UK, naija people for work wan choke me telling me I wil struggle. Lazy people. Yes, I struggled for like a month to understand the role which is normal but now I'm a master at it. My nursing work in Nigeria is even 10 times harder and physically draining than this.
Never listen to negative people, try try try and get the response first before pessimistic people make you loose focus. UK people generally seems to be lazy and pessimistic, I've come to discover.
If this was before I would have say it is grace.
But I don’t believe in that anymore.
What was their reason for not applying for the role?

I wouldn’t say they are pessimist, there must be a rationale why they did not apply.

Congratulations and make sure you pass the exam.

Lol, this is your singular pain point with the UK.
The economy grows if more people contribute to NI and these moneys will be invested into NHS, fix London Roads, school meal etc. do u agree ?

Palliative Care isn't even funded properly, same as everything in the NHS, but they've skipped that and moved straight to death pathway.Fund palliative care well first so that dying people do so in dignity..

For now it's terminal people given 6 months to live but in reality , there are other conditions where the pain and suffering is so great but death is far.. What then happens?

What of the pain and suffering of people with dementia or the pain and suffering of those with conditions that leave them trapped in their bodies and depending on others for round the clock care?

How about people with mental health conditions resistant to all treatment eg treatment resistant depression,what of their own suffering? Is their own suffering less because they have longer than 6 months?

Who is the arbiter of suffering? Who is the person that chooses what suffering is greater than another when people are so different?

It's just a matter of time before court cases come and the law is adjusted again like Canada had to do.
I don't envy those that have to make these decisions.
You can’t fund the NHS when a large number of workable adult who should be contributing to NI are on sick benefit. Can you ?

Migration is a global thing, in fact Africans are the least in the number game. So we are the even the ones staying back to develop our place.
Good to know you are the ones staying back. Hope you have seen the video of the captured Brit soldier.

Get your fighting boots ready for what might be ww3 and hope you know Africans will be the ones they will put at the frontline.

Home is where you live life to the fullest and fufil purpose. Africa in general and Nigeria in particular didn't give that to many. I like it here, I don't want to be a part of those who will be in Africa to make it enticing. Prayers for those with that unrealistic dream.
What if you haven’t been given visa. Would you not fight those depriving you in your country ?

I don't know if you're in Africa or not. However, nobody chooses where they were born and I don't think it's necessary to feel guilty when you emigrate outside Africa. As long as you're adding value wherever you go, that place can become home. Abraham wasn't born in Canaan, he migrated there and made it home.
Na because them open gate most of Youna dey talk things like this. Whenever it comes to conversation of developing Africa where you all come from that’s when you lot will start quoting one bible verse or parable.

They will still ask you to go back to where you came from.

Canada can only pause on federal level, don’t mind them o, you see those provinces na dem be the koko, including villages and towns running all sorts of immigration streams. Imagine the devolved nations in the uk running their own immigration streams you think they will wait for any Home Secretary? Same thing with the Aussies, the provinces there run their show and the federal can never deny them their needs of immigrants. The Canada PM is just talking politics same way Brexit was used here and at the end they opened the back gate. Even the uk pm is still warming up ( watch out) Germany with all their mouth is looking for 400,000 workers. That bbc article you posted a day or two ago says it all. No govt can reduce net migration including Trump, they will huff and puff but at the end you will realise so much has been let in.
no government can’t halt migration but it can be reduced drastically. Africans should stop believing they have to go abroad to become the best they can ever be in life. What’s stopping us from staying in Africa making it enticing so people can come here and not the other way around. Abi all of Youna don neglect una home ?

While I manytimes cut her some slack for at least coming here to interract and learn from our views, her ignorance of our lived experience is manytimes evident. I sometimes curious on why she's here (with my tinfoil hat on).

Oddly, that's how populism works - blame visibly different folks for every societal ill and chorus how all issues can be solved by 'just' chucking them away. It's been a recurring decimal in many nations - one that has hardly worked. Take U.S for example- a nation that has of late done stupendously well and due to add more wealth over the next year that all of Europe put together. Yet the many average Americans believes the reason why they are not as rich as they want is not because of the social structure but cos of some immigrants crossing the border. Yes, they could secure their border but that would not adress the underlying inequality.
Capitalism has failed us.

90% of global wealth is owned and controlled by 5% of the population.

In all these, social workers are still confiscating children from parents at the slightest concern?? The dynamics of the UK economy seems too complex for me to understand, how is the pounds even still so strong?? A lot of things aren't adding up. Well, people in care have to keep their jobs (so the spending should continue.)
This is why we are borrowing more money to cushion health and social care spending and most importantly to pay those on benefit.

It’s actually not seen as a cash withdrawal. I dey withdraw from my PayPal with my Amex when I need urgent cash and I’ve never been charged. It’s seen as a regular transaction and not a cash withdrawal and it doesn’t incur any charges, all they need to do is select the card when they want to send the money to someone on their PayPal list and select Family/Friends for the transaction. It also doesn’t affect anyone’s credit score as long as they say within the 25% spend on their total available credit.
Do you just add your card to PayPal and Initiate the transfer within the PayPal app?
