florixi: One of the reasons we have issues back home is that we all just want to oppress ourselves; we want to be better than our neighbors. That's why some people believe that Nigeria's problem is not just a leadership problem but a mentality problem. I have seen people oppress themselves based on the kind of visa they hold.
There's dignity in labour here , lets not look down on anyone . If care job is your starting point , fine and good , if its banking job , fine and good.
One beautiful thing about this place is that we all end up in the same market, we can drive same kind of cars and can live same neigbourhood. On like working in lekki and living in ikorodu.
Lets help each other, God used someone i met at factory job to get IT job using my spouse care work sponsorship, so let embrace the moment we may find ourself then upskill and aim higher.
Peace.! couldnt have said it any better. |

tolajay: Undoubtedly, they've got some good stuff going on for them. But I'll be conscious not to overinflate their population and influence.
Last I checked, Asians (Indians inclusive) make up 9.3% of UK's population. Africans are about 4%.
Just last quarter, LSE released a report on wide ethnic disparity in wealth accumulation across the UK. Asians and Africans were abysmally positioned against white-Brits. Although Indians had some slight exception in the Asian bloc, yet they're not closer to the white-Brit.
So, it is geometrically impossible for them to outrun the 'real owners of UK' in 20 years. Maybe 200 years! 😊 omo na time go tell. |

hustla:

If you like, cry from now till tomorrow, except for those who came on COS visa, no Nigerian with a MSc degree should be aspiring to do care and clean someone's behind for 7 years...as a hustle to gather fees, maybe YES.. but for 7 yrs?
If your mindset is stuck on doing care for 7 years, thats up to you... the problem definitely isnt me
The point is that care is not the only means to an end; there is construction and the likes. Even in care, you can upskill (NVQ etc) and get to managerial positions or go on to clinical ones / nursing etc but thing is, lots of people do not upskill and remain stuck in that care home mindset for years on end, not moving up, not moving down. I have met lots of people like that
Everyone should take advice as they see fit. I was on the student thread a while ago when justwise was advising students to plan ahead for fees and settling in. The same students who were arguing and insulting justwise got into the UK and started defaulting on fees, getting withdrawn from school, etc Another one now is rent money being dead money, which to someone who thinks deep is reasonable... but given circumstances of. status etc, it may take a while to get to the mortgage level but still .... na vex and argument 
Last last, everyone with what they like

toughest007: Many immigrants believe that when the ladies here smile, flirt and drink with them, all is set for them to dive in! Many make these assumptions out of ignorance, many get away with it and a few get caught up and we hear about it.
The other day, somewhere in the North, this guy was caught visiting an underage girl... Actually dressed up and travelled a long distance to hangout with this girl. Same assumption, they say hello, smile, flirt and gbam, they interpret it as 'the girl is into me'
You hustle and go through all the stresses to leave Nigeria and then come here and do this!!! Really very shameful and disgusting.
I avoid the ladies here like a plague. The juniors I mentor in the office, I keep them at bay, with many boundaries set! Any small thing the team/group will arrange drinks, kilode? Work hard. Play hard. |

hustla: Well, from the Qs I have seen, Its not Indiaphobia; people are just curious as to why they are dominating in most countries
Their numbers largely help them, along with the kind of community they have
I really don't see Nigerians being like them in the UK in the next several hundred years. For one, our numbers don't match up (doesn't mean a Nigerian cant be MP but more numbers mean someone is more likely to get there). I mean, people were encouraging others to aim higher for better job positions and others were snickering and bashing those trying to encourage them
I pray we get there though  I give it max 2 decades from now oyinbo go dey beg dem for jobs and opportunities. Just so you know india space agency single handedly landed a rover on the month sometimes last month. Community lifestyle is at their advantage.

Goke7: I've heard about people going for biometrics appointments for visa extension and renewal and not being allowed to proceed because of the absence of the dependant, the problem is that once you indicate the dependant in the application, the person needs to show up, ok even if the dependant is not going to be included in the application, what will the applicant state as the reason of not including the applicant!
Maybe those who have done such an application should provide the answer, Am only speaking from the experience of others close to me Divorce, separation 🤷🏾♂️ |

bigtt76: I hail ...please I would like to ask the following,
Aside the the count down to ILR,
1. What are the advantages of having a Skilled Worker Visa vs Post Study Work Visa? 2. Can a couple split having the Skilled Worker Visa and Post Study Work Visa among themselves? For example spouse goes on Skilled Worker Visa while hubby goes on Post Study?
Your insights would be very much appreciated.  1. The benefits of having skilled visa are enormous. That’s why some employer will ask if you will need sponsorship in the future. 2. Your wife can decide not to include you as dependent on her skilled work visa is she wish. Many things dey occur. I have heard of a scenario where the lady refuse to include the man after she got sponsorship from her care company. |

Zahra29: Lol why are you mad? Isn't your rent providing you a place to live and a base from which to work/study? Isn't paying rent a normal occurrence in nigeria, and very high rents at that in cities like Lagos and Abuja?
While it should remain a firm aspiration to own one's home in the UK, renting until you get there is perfectly normal and part of the process/journey for millions. It takes time to build up a deposit, excellent credit rating and other factors, so don't feel pressured into buying a house (the biggest purchase most people will ever make) in a short time after moving to the UK.
It's similar to how people jumped onto the bandwagon of trying to acquire one or several credit cards within a couple of months of arriving the UK, some without the basic understanding of how credit works and many damaging their credit file in the process.
Some things take time and in the meantime work hard, save hard and acquire the relevant knowledge. Everything just hard for this Uk. Work hard, pray hard, study hard. God abeg |

Zahra29: Well said. Rape is rape, there are no tiers to rape based on if the woman was drunk, "flirting", wearing a short skirt, or even if she had been kissing the man or had had relations with him previously.
If she said no at the time, or didn't/couldn't give consent, then it's rape. Regardless of her age.
And the reality is the law tends to come down more heavily on the side of a white woman against a black man/immigrant, so extra caution is key. In summary don’t sleep with a woman who has been drinking. Even if you want to make sure you record it when she gave the consent either through Voice note or video. |
