You can't help but meet these kind of people in whatever circle. Either yours or any. Haven't hanged out in a long time, but when i got an invite to and a lot of discussions were laid on the table ranging from football, politics here and back home, standard of living here and there down to this particular one which i had no power to really control after chipping in my 2cents cos both have obviously hanged out together more often than me, i called it a night and went home. Pondering about what went down with such level of comparison after i got home, decided to post it here to hear what people have to say. But one (let me hold it in, no curse words) decide to say I'm daft for bringing it here. Omo!!!

These are the kind of nonsense I am sorry to say you see black people (especially daft headed Nigerians) arguing about.

I see three unintelligent people in that gathering: the construction guy for not being able to empathize, the health care assistant guy allowing himself to be drawn into such an argument when the best line of action would be to ignore and lastly you for bringing such question here.

My reply is harsh and maybe unnecessary but it's the truth.
Maybe the guy is just motivating his fellow breda or maybe it's the typical Nigerian I better pass my Neighbour syndrome.

Saw a post on twitter about a guy that finished his maters and he his about to begin his PHD. He slept and never woke up. Investigation was done and cause of death is "stress". As you dey do HCA and construction try dey check on your health / blood pressure. If your body no carry work in particular day make sure you call in sick and rest. Dem just dey use shift beg me i told them im not doing no be me una go kill.

If you die today Pounds go still remain, pounds no dey finish.

Exactly. Anybody living in the UK has absolutely no right to criticize western values, better to just jump and pass if not comfortable with it. There are many things I don't agree with in the UK especially s*x* orientation etc but as I carried my full self to their land, I must respect them. If Nigerian leaders were barely reasonable, many would remain in Nigeria.

Hi all,

Please if a student who is suppose to work 20hours a week is given about 36 hours a week to work but told by the employer that at the end of the month they will make sure he has worked 80 hours a month, is this a breach of his student visa working hours ?

Second question when can a masters student start full time work without breech, is it when the course ends or when class ends and during dissertation

Thank you in advance for your response
20 hrs/ week should remain 20 hrs/week.

After you submit dissertation, you can start working full time.
Mind you most employers will request share code or some kind of evidence showing you have been cleared.

Every one will believe what they want to.

So Israel killed and dismembered their own citizens, and framed up Hamas just to start a war with Gaza...the same Gaza they have contributed to building over the years. Israel also built all the tunnels, hid ammunitions in Gaza hospitals, and are currently holding their own hostages in Gaza.

quite interesting. if indeed Hamas is this innocent, unfortunately the real innocent ones are the victims
Israel can do no wrong. They are “Gods own Nation” so the world must always side with them.

One day Africans go wise.

This is not about Hamas. This is about protecting Palestinian lives whom the majority are innocent yet get killed senselessly.

Millions of people have protested globally over 15 countries and about 3 different major protests in the US & UK, are they all "Pro-Hamas"?

Is the 'Western value' about supporting the killing of Innocent helpless folks rather than finding a lasting diplomatic solution to the lingering 70-year-old issue as they are the originator of this crisis?

So because you want to live in King Charles' Boulevard, you want to shy away from the truth to avoid your visa being revoked grin cheesy grin (Black man and shackle mindset; yet living in the 'supposed' land of the free and absolute human right)
Man don’t know himself and where he is coming from. I hope he wakes up one day. No one hates the west we are simply calling on their wrong doings across the world over the decades. Just because dem get white skin no mean say we won’t call them out. Don’t forget what’s happening in palestines can happen to you in Africa.

Niger is a recent example.

False equivalence as Hamas didn't attack a pipeline or factory or military base did they. They raped , killed and abducted hundreds of innocent women, children and babies.
Thesame way IDF has been prosecuting Palestinians, taking their houses, barricading them like they live I. A concentration camps. This our support for the west is part of the reason why Africa is underdeveloped. We have been hypnotised to believe anything America and USA is right.

You guys should be fair in your criticisms. So Houtis are now the victim? Where were u and houti supporters since November when they started attacking international shipping in international waters? Are they ships doing their legitimate business part of the war? Why can't they attack Isreal and leave innocent ships alone? If your brother is a sailor who plies that route and they kill him for something that is not his business, would you be here talking nonsense? Or the lives of sailors in international waters don't matter to you?

The houtis are very stupid. They will draw the fire by themselves but when the fire starts consuming them, they will start crying genocide. They won't care about their civilians now ooo.

On Oct 7, Hamas in their own wisdom decided that the best way to resolve their grievances with Isreal is to go into isreal and massacre civilians and take more than 300 hostage from Isreal, Imagine! What were they thinking? Isreal of all countries that is built on war. They know their civilians will pay the price cos Isreal will surely come for them but that is their goal, to draw the fury of Isreal and come back to claim victim and accuse Isreal of genocide. I expected demonstrations from Palestinians, arabs, south Africans etc to condemn hamas actions during that time Hamas carried out that terror act on isreal but they didn't. If they had done that, it would be fair to hang Isreal for the situation in Gaza.

By the way, this whole middle east crisis is formented by Iran to get regional hegemony over the arabs. Why is Shia Iran carrying Sunni Palestinians matter on their head while Sunni arabs like Saudi,Egypt,Jordan etc aren't? Are you telling me that Shia Iran love the Palestinians more than the Palestinians Sunni brothers? Iran would not join the fight but will engage its proxies to fire the weapons and draw the fight to their own land and the mumu idiots will do it and cry genocide tomorrow.

As for South Africa, let them solve their xenophobic problems before putting their mouth in other people's issues. Before the end of the year, their citizens will go and kill foreigners in their country and destroy their businesses but they are here forming holier than thou.

By the way, Ukraine did not attack Russia to start the war. Russia brought the war to them. If Ukraine did what Hamas did, nobody would have given a damn about their suffering. You can't initiate a war and claim victim, I won't buy that.
South Africa is putting mouth In other people’s business but the US and UK don’t?

It’s the UK they have built a reputation for themselves over the years. Student will still come for study’s. And mind you the money they have made from student this past 3 years will be put back into their economy. In a nutshell they will find a way. They always do.

So, you really think locals who take loans just to pay £9500 will now pay £15k/ year? or Nursing fees of like £20K/ year x3 ?

grin


Asides that, they would have to provide alternative means of generating income for areas in the UK bolstered by the student population. I have always wondered what places like Sheffield, Middlesbrough, Leicester Bradford, Stoke on Trent etc would look like without the student population.

Even with the student population, they are still very dead, dry places
