Yes. When also told one local, the amount paid for IHS for my family, man was stunned. He said they never say this on the media. That it’s the fist time he’s hearing it and was shocked at how much we paid to the government.

We are really contributing hugely into the UK economy.

How i wish our Rulers in Nigeria would repent from their sins.

If a doctor like, let them have methuselah years of experience. If the ‘patient’ claims lack of sleep, distress, anxiety and mental health being affected. Mentions general body weakness. The doctor must give sick note.

Even if they are diagnosed as fit to work?

This is what i was saying this people will never work even if there are jobs for them.

Working class oyinbo sef go tell you that " some of their people are lazy"

Prior to 2015, my bosses who had 20 million+ in their accounts were not even thinking about relocation, it was all about going on famkly vacation and returning to the office.

But now, officers who have 50m+ in their accounts are still spending millions to Japa!

APC is a stupid government, a government of pain! Punish them!!!

50M+ and still japa no be juju be that. Can never be me tho. Did he give any reason for his decision other than APC and BAT.

would like to learn.

Any idea the number of immigrants who pay for ihs, NI and tax but hardly use the NHS?

How much does British people on universal credit all their lives contribute to the system?

The system seems to be in so much pressure when it comes to immigrants but Ukrainers came in the system accommodated them, the govt even pay families to take them in.

Average British citizen are so ignorant of their immigration rules and policies that is why politicians take advantage of that.

They will argue that their great grand parent have been paying tax for generations. So they deserve the credit. Well I don’t blame them. Until we build were we come from and make it attractive and economical viable. We will keep explaining tire tire

How can you claim no one is doing anyone a favour when the immigration numbers demonstrates people are coming in droves? If it was a 50/50 business deal like you say, shouldn’t direction be in both ways or fairly stable. I don’t just mean from Naija (India, China, Pakistan etc. are on the list). The truth is people will move from areas of economic hardship to areas with more opportunities…just like Osmosis. When you come and you start paying tax in the new system, were you not paying tax in the previous location? What did you get in return? If it’s not a fair deal, people would stop coming and enjoy their extra “money”.

That said, I think immigration should be sustainable, otherwise we overload the system and we get the same “unworkable” system some of us were running away from. When last have you visited a GP or house-hunted? There’s no doubt in my mind this “tiny-Island” is under a lot of pressure and it needs to be released somehow. I don’t like the uncertainty of the immigration laws (they should be fairly stable so people can plan and not be stranded), but how many countries are viable alternatives? Maybe Canada, Australia, USA…be things May even be changing in these countries as well. In terms of voting or making a change, not sure the immigrant vote/lobby is significant enough to move the needle.

Las las, everyone go Dey alright.

How I wish we could get our acts right as a country, doesn’t even have to be el dorado, just back to 2015 economic outlook and the influx from Nigerians won’t be as bad. God punish APC for forcing middle class Nigerians to flee their country!

Imagine middle class man age 45 selling cars and landed properties just to relocate for masters.

We need to talk to each other and do whatever we can to get Nigeria working. Enough of deceiving ourselves.

Didn’t Nigerians ask Ghanaians to leave at some point? No one truly likes foreigners, go to Switzerland and see how those ones lift up their noses at their fellow white immigrants. This thing is everywhere and it’s not unique to the UK. After all, SA dey show Nigerians pepper.

The solution is for us to contribute to the development of where we come from. Just imagine so idiots that are here seeing how things are run and done yet still supporting Tinubu. Make dem continue one day we will have nowhere to call home.

kwakudtraveller:
There’s a clear distinction between those who Japa to the US versus the UK. You would never see a financial analyst move to the US and settle as a care worker. They always go into their chosen field and they are a lot more ambitious. Nigerians get remote work from companies in the US, talk more of actually living there. And as for those who had zero experience in Nigeria, some just work part time as a healthcare assistant as a way to pay their way through nursing school. They have a go-getter mindset because all the people around them have that same mindset. You would never hear anyone who moved to the states say being a care worker is better than getting a PSW Lol.

We are just an island we can’t keep taking in people. Says an avid British citizen 😂

I was thinking about something on the train yesterday as I haven't seen it happen before

Can a Muslim student from Nigeria carry 3 wives as dependents to the UK? I mean when they still allowed dependents.I see these Arab looking guys with 2/3 wives on the bus with their burqa and I wonder how the visa process looked like

Will the VO frown at it?

How did you come to terms that they are his wives.

hustla:
A topic was opened for debate for everyone owing to new rules and you just had to let this snide remark jump out. I have noticed this is also common among Nigerians in the UK Twitter (NIUK) community.

If people stop sharing their experiences, it's the same Nigerians like you who will say the Indians don't do this or that. The purpose of sharing on this platform is so people can have more information and know that some things are POSSIBLE and can be done, which is why I always preach upskilling and trying to do better (if circumstances allow it as everyone has different responsibilities).

Is it bad if Nigerians occupy top positions like the Indians?? Is it bad if we try to encourage each other to go for top positions? If you go interview and see 2 Nigerians on the panel at a top multinational, is it bad?? The purpose of sharing things is not to engage in a dick measuring contest, it's a way for people to know that things are not out of our reach if we aim higher and put in the work

Believe what you believe or not, people earn really, really well in this same UK we shout they're stingy with salaries. I lost a £44K offer (not a high salary but not bad per UK standards) last month to someone who was able to start immediately. It was a Security Analyst role at RCA and they were ready to offer sponsorship without thinking twice. Funny enough, the IT Manager was a Nigerian lady.
I just got back from a 2nd stage interview 1 hr ago and its a similar position, offering something similar

Spent about 1 hour on the phone with a friend of mine who got a job at one of the largest insurance companies in the world last week, total package, about £100,000 (Attached). Same guy still has an interview with Manchester United this week.

Another one got an offer with Lloyds Register; both of them aren't even 4 months old in the UK. These are not people I have heard of; they are close friends, so IT CAN BE DONE.

Again, It can be done

Just to add:

Some of us come on here to reply or give our 2 cents on topical issues doesn't mean we don't have job or better things to do.

Some poeple are on this thread to judge and attack others. We need to do better as a people that's the way we can grow.

Zahra29:
No one was forced into care. Many people e.g. with families chose the care route to avoid the cost of IHS. Many chose to prioritise a quicker /surer route to settlement over following their chosen career. Many chose care over PSW for the above reasons.
All valid choices, but they were not forced.

Bills dey force you to do any job that comes your way. Stop saying people are not forced.

hustla:
Its the devil's work sir

Guy lets plan japa inside Japa thing together biko nu

lIn the year ending September 2023, 101,000 Health and Care visas were issued to care workers and senior care workers, with an estimated 120,000 visas granted to associated dependants, the majority of whom we estimate don’t work, but still make use of public services.

How about their people who have never work a day I. Their life and uses public services and still gets universal credit.

I don’t really blame them. Na we we no fit build our own country I blame.

vikaosi:
Although the announcements are based on broad policies and not detailed regulations, a careful analysis of the words will suggest that it will target "bringing people into the UK" as opposed to those who are already here.

You are taking British people by their words ?

Zahra29:
Lol, no one complained about surgeons, doctors, nurses. That's why they are unaffected by the new immigration rules.

No its because they dont have replacement for those jobs they cant do.

Zahra29:
Cleverly was asked about this and his response was that they were not forcing anyone to leave their families to come to the UK. He said they had "crunched up the numbers" and they felt there was enough global demand from people wanting to work in care who don't have any dependants

single people its your turn to shine

hustla:
Healthcare is not the only field as I have said many times. There will soon be shortage and they'll come and cry and blame immigrants as usual

Abi no be so

We come in and do the jobs they dont want to do. They will complain.

We do the jobs they cant do like being a doctor, surgeon. They will complain.

What exactly is their issue with migrant?

hustla:
It won't

LOOL. But they wont be allowed to bring in dependents anymore. Very funny people

My brother, i dont have the keys to the house after she changed it.
Now almost everytime i come back i have to stay outside for 1 to 4 hours until someone from the house is leaving or going inside then i follow up to enter.

Its crazy, the room is also cold with no furniture anymore as she took everything out.

You cant believe what this woman did to me on Sunday with her kids..
They came on Sunday to make mockery of me, with her two little kids of 4 to 6 years i guess..
All where insulting me and telling me how stupid I am and how I sleep in such room, man this kids where throwing insult on me with there mother to the extent that the kids later told the mother that am now looking like a depressed person that she should pity me..

It's really crazy what kind of person the woman is..
I recorded everything without her knowing my phone was on recording...
I really don't want to see this woman get away with all this act she did but I have to find somewhere else to keep my head and have a good sleep..
I have paid for a place now but I still want to collect my deposits and if possible sue her for not registering the deposit on a scheme.
Please if anyone can guide me on how to go about it, I will really appreciate it..

Guy just let it go. This is a lesson to you and others. It crazy out here

ehizario2012:
One really has to commend the doggedness of the ancestors here, those 2009 set etc who did care jobs, security jobs, sausage in the cold etc even without promise of sponsorship. That's real hustling with faith. 👍

There is dignity in labor and I love this country because you are respected in any profession, real respect I mean and your pay is a living wage, a wage that can make you drive good cars and even plan for the future. Just see how much mechanics charge?! DIY is so important in UK except u want to spend so much on little things.

I currently work at Amazon, my wife is on sponsorship and works in care. But I am also planning to go into support/NHS, apart from another sponsorship route, I am genuinely beginning to see pathway to the top in health and social care. These oyinbos don't read much and they are quite comfortable staying on a spot, with our level of zeal and energy we can get qualifications faster and move up the ladder. A guy I know finished NVQ 3 in just about 2 months while his colleagues use 6 months on average...

In all of this, I'm still writing my Universally acclaimed accounting certification exams... For me, this is a path I am exploring and so help me God.

Some of them are being paid 7£ / hr. Dark times

Hell no!! the moment you get into care your brain is fried, no future, no ambition, you have no access to outside world, you will not even have time to do anything again..smh

You forget the part where you will be averaging 10,000 steps in a day. Two years into the job you go don dey use walking stick.

Like i said before people are doing care job to meet up with fees and bills, mesef dey run am but you should upskill yourself and get a befitting job that aligns with your career.

If you have any info on how to secure a good job kindly drop information/ pointers.

We rise by lifitng others.

Goke7:
Are we going from health care to ice cream shop now, let me know o

That companies sign up to get license does not mean they will sponsor. Make Una no give people bp on top this sponsorship matter o

Hope you also realise that by the time they increase the salary requirement for skilled workers that again will reduce the ability of more companies to sponsor. Smell the coffee they say they want to reduce net migration and we are here encouraging people to gamble, Dey play and keep playing. You guys don’t know the damage Suella and gang has done

I kuku don sell fan yogo before i might just sign up and get me sponsorship.

hustla:
Not true, as a matter of fact, lots of companies sponsor that arent in the healthcare sector sponsor. In actual fact, i have seen ice cream shops with sponsorship while browsing through

As of 11th November, 2023, the figure for London was about 26,000. Means 2,000+ companies signed up to sponsor folks (i will check the exact figures to confirm)

See, the thing about life is, you only see what you want to see

Congratulations to a friend in advance .

Your friend can swtich back to Cybersecurity when he settles with full right to live and work in this country, nobody pins him down to health care work for ever. He is thinking outside the box which is what education gives you. You studied Cybersecurity and you applied for jobs with no positive outcome then what? You keep waiting until your visa expires?

After 5 years of being a healthcare worker right?
