who were they expecting to fill in the gaps, Angels from Heaven? Look here, the Brits are what they are, it's even beyond the issues of racism, they just get irritated when they are fed up of so many people within their space contending for the same resources whether white, brown, or black. From the old days of the Windrush generation to Brexit, it's the same story and the same narratives around net migration and how it's affecting them badly. The benefits they have enjoyed from this migration influx over the years they play down when whenever they are bored. It's a cycle or is it now they realise the benefits of being in the EU? do we not hear stories of how the Windrush generation helped to build their NHS and even their railways? did they not always wake up one day and start chasing people up and down be it Europeans or whoever.

Now they are even fed up with even the refugees from Ukraine and Hongkong, nothing is new jare about their behaviour

This is the truth…once they sense other race filling out their jobs or where they live they will begin agitating to kick them out one way or the other. We should all realise that eve if you acquire British passport, it doesn’t make you one of them. They know their own people and when it’s time they will show their real colour.

Of course!! It’s all about the money, they dished out as many visa stamps as they want and collect millions then start crying about immigration figures

Including IHS and visa fee plus tuition fees of student plus rent and taxes we pay. It’s running into billions of £ that we add to their economy

This is something I keep pondering on. Many times, many second generational folks I seen especially in less diverse cities have some identity crises. They're neither here nor there, worse still, they don't have enough numbers or a distinct culture.

Even on this thread, folks using denigrating words for new Nigerian legal immigrants are almost always second generation. Yet they strive to have some 9ja connection cos they want to be seen 'connecting with their roots'

Seems their thinking was their parents belonged to some 'prime stock' of Nigerians that the the white man gave the 'privilege' of immigration. Hence they want to set their own bar for immigrants. Fact is, their parents were just everyday Nigerians e.t.c with some opportunity.

They keep asking you when are you going back?

I dont have time for 2 much talk. I simply tell them im going back after graduation.

I just dey laugh

if na so e easy why una Papa no go back naija

Progressivegee:
I don't think it will affect those who are already on the system. Like the student dependents ban, it might take effect from future applications. In my opinion, I don't think it's worth it. One primary reason many choose to migrate to the UK over other western countries is because of its easier to do so. Tightening their immigration policy may see people shifting their focus. Currently, Europe and the UK has an increasing aging population which necessitates the demand for more skilled professionals. While other countries are looking to attract the best brains, the UK is looking for ways to eat their cake and have it. Australia has added additional 2 years to post study visa making it 4 years depending on qualifications and students are allowed to bring dependents. Newzeland has introduced the healthcare assistants route. The USA is granting over stayers a new type of visa route so they can work legally in the USA. But children of immigrant parents are doing everything to stop legal and skilled migration.

It's their country, their rules. But like Brexit, they will come up again and look for who to blame for the insufficient workforce admits a declining working population.

There are talks of them rejoining EU

Tell me which employer no go employ this CV 😊

Him get HIV cure be that

What’s this news everywhere about home office stopping MSc student from bringing dependant.

Could this be another Braverman rant ?

BorisJohnson:
Oga Lexus…
This your thought process is like asking people to migrate to Dutse (Jigawa State) or Nguru (Yobe state) or Zungeru (Kebbi State) or Monguno (Borno state) or Oye-Ekiti (Ekiti State) or Abatete (Anambra State) or Nembe (Bayelsa State) etc….

In ALL the places I mentioned above, they can get a 5 bed bungalow for less than the price of a 1/2 bed face-me-I-face-you in Abuja or Lagos.

Question is: Are there jobs? What (really) is the point of moving away from London to Hull or Sunderland or Middlesbrough or Newcastle or Durham or etc… and there are no jobs there? You buy/rent cheaply, but there are no jobs. What’s the point?

Yes there is farming job in Oye Ekiti

SamReinvented:
The first job that I got out of university in Nigeria (definitely not manager level), I was earning around a million Naira per month as at the time (USD 2,600 to be exact). It was for a US company and I was working remotely. I was not living in Lagos either, which means my expense was very low and I was saving a TONNE of money.

If not for second passport wey I dey find, I no go dey UK ooo. The math is not mathing in this country make I no lie 😂.

Anyway… I think you guys should let this argument to rest. People would have different perspectives and experience to things like this. At the end of the day, it is individual choices. Let everyone do what they feel is right for them.

What’s more important to you. Earning more money in a country were you can’t drive at 1am or living in a country that’s fair and value human life? Pick your struggle mate.

dustydee:
I think I understand you now and I sometimes feel like that's what is "calling me"
After a couple of years, I told my partner that we should go back but was convinced that we should at least get ILR first. We are still dragging after citizenship but I think I am getting through.


I think you mixed different issues in your response to my comment and also attributing someone else's statement to me. And no, the FG does not pay anyone N18k.
My understanding of purchasing power may not be the same as yours but if N1000 = £1 then I stand by my comment that I will get more with that N1k in Nigeria than I will get with £1 in the UK - Fact.
Please let us face other issues, ayam tired.

You dey catch cruise abi u serious?

Strata1716:
It’s truly sad that Britons have been abandoned in Sudan especially as this same govt found a way to rescue animals from Ukraine, suddenly their hands are tied when it comes to Sudan

One thing I have realise about British is that they like doing things to show the outside world that they are a wealthy nation even if they haven’t settled their internal issues.

dupyshoo:
If a white British has other nationalities, his/her british citizenship can be revoked too. That's British law. Don't make it about white and coloured. Also, her dad is living in Bangladesh, why can't she move there?

Regarding being 2 types of British, that has always been the case. You can't get some jobs in the UK and US if you have dual nationaliities. Dual citizenship has advantages and disadvantages. This is one of the disadvantages. We just have to live with it.

I doubt if this is true

LagosismyHome:
My younger brother was in Aberdeen and was transferred to Canada via Intra company transfer for a project so had the option to come back

He says UK what.... that his take home is better hence standard of living is better

I schooled in the US and came to UK by chance through intra company transfer for a 2 years project and 15 years later I am still here ....

So you never know which is actually better. They all have their + and -

Especially when you find a beautiful lady then you got stuck for life 🤷🏽‍♂️

Ladasit:
See my friend keep quiet if you don't know what you are saying, if you have it easy in life most people don't.

The Chinese, Koreans and Co. get loans from their government to come and study. In this UK financial crisis how do you want to cope if you are handling your accommodation, transport and other fees if you are doing just 20 hours, especially if you are staying in London or Manchester.

We as Nigerians, we are hardworking and if the job is there we will do it and make our money to survive.

The funny thing is that most employers are not even happy with this 20 hours rule, because they are looking for workers but they are limited because of this 20 hours rule.

I met a British man one time that was complaining about how most of their citizens don't want to come out to work anymore, they'd rather work from home instead. He said in his city, shops and the mall closes by 4pm because they don't have people to employ for evening shifts and what he appreciate about Nigerians is that they are always willing to work.

I heard if you scale through during PSW application they will come for you when applying for ILR. Is this true ?

Last but not least!

If you withdraw cash from your lifetime ISA for any reason other than your first home purchase or retirement, you’ll have to pay the 25% government withdrawal charge. That means you could get back less than you paid in. 🙄

Afmaag123:
