omo ale lo n fowo osi juwe Ile baba re {it is the bastard child to points to her home using her left hand.

Her parents have failed her honestly.

We cannot change where we come from and must never despise it. We must only strive to become the best.

Her parents may have taught her the later but they failed to teach her the former.

She is on cause to be a very inconsequential leader of the party. No matter how much she digs dip into culture wars and disparaging her ancestry, it would not win her votes with the voting base she is chasing.

My shame is that Nigeria is blessed with some of the best and most talented population in Africa, thanks to its large & young population size.

It is a shame that in the one that rose to the pinnacle of british politics is not the brightest one in the pack.

Many have forgotten and they will learn the hard way.

They want to be white so bad.

Say no more

No… my good sir.
Although Nairaland is the encourager of those that actually want to keep hope alive, that’s why I opts to give back in a way I know that I can.

It may surpass the figure I gave because whom U give my tell another; yeah, but let’s keep it that way until I return here to announce that I need those WIILLING to be Tradies….elect/plumb & must “reside in London”(I will tell them why).

They must be willing and may be sacrificing shifts for this particular purpose at some point, otherwise people tends to play with anything that is free.

The aim is to get people out of security jobs and into skill jobs.

And after 2yrs+ I am back again, but now as a Londoner.
User Names; is this account & StAugustineOf13

Primary Objective was Australia, but my CHI made the final decision.
My swears was that I will never die as just a Nigerian & it must come to pass.
I was banned by JustWise multiple times when I tried to help which made me to once abandoned the said account and was tagged as maybe fraudulent, but I understood.

Thanks to everyone that helped in keeping this forum alive, because reading here alone kept me going even when all hope was lost due to age wahala.

If I fit gather small time, I may share my journey as far as I could remember.
And help maybe one person to do a free Trade Course that costs about £7k; yes it came to me on a platter and I may have to help just 1 Londoner too who has the Zeal to become a Tradie.
If we loud that route, dem go close am too. So…. I go treat am as secret cult.

Share am make everyone learn. No gatekeeping here.

RodgersAkpafu:
Again, the government knows what to do to revitalise the British economy
But are too scared to do it, because they don't wanna offend rich people

You want to offend the wealth and job creators. No sensible government will do that.

They will take their jobs elsewhere and that’s it your jobs gone.

RodgersAkpafu:
Care Visa people will be alright

You wan job shame me abi. Na God go judge you 🤣

UK IMMIGRATION CHANGES FROM TODAY.

Today is one of the most serious changes to UK immigration rules in recent years, with further crucial changes following on 29th July.

How is it going to affect some immigrants?

Immediate Impact from today the - 22nd July 2025.

Skilled Workers will be hit badly:

• Skilled Workers minimum qualification requirements moves to degree level (RQF Level 6 equivalent to a bachelor’s degree)

• 100 plus occupation codes scrapped - care workers, hospitality roles, logistics, health support staff and others no longer eligible

• Salary threshold raised from £38700 to £41,700.
• Social Care Worker route permanently closed to new applicants.
• Supplementary work severely restricted - degree-level roles only

You will need to have a degree to get many roles in the UK. It will be back to school for many.

Further Changes from 29 July 2025

• Private Life settlement expanded for "half-life test" candidates

• UK-born children face stricter continuous residence tests

• Crown Dependencies residence now counts towards UK qualifying periods

RodgersAkpafu:
Better to pin it as that
.Because yall have nothing sensible to say.

If I didn't know women who have been at the short end of the stick on matters pertaining to this, I wouldn't be too pissed about it

Kemi own as much as I like her, her own is getting too MUCH BUT THE POINT SHE RAISED IS VALID

Stop using words like y’all or una and stop posting anything that has to do with Nigeria. The real owners of the platform are saying you should not. Abide of get blocked 🚫 🤣

Goke7:
You think it’s harmless but others don’t see it like that. Try to be considerate it’s not that hard. I can decide to be posting here about davido and wizkid shebi it’s a Nigerian affair too but will it make sense here? That’s why nairaland has different sections for different things. Kindly post in the right section, that’s the polite request!

Shey na everyday I dey post am.
Abi you carry me for mind b4

Tel me, So where do we draw the line as you know more than I do? No Canadian post no US post just uk. right ?

Goke7:
Just an advice, @willyede is right about you going to the politics section if you want to talk more about fixing naija, I go there to comment about naija politics as well so it’s nothing strange or personal. This thread is where folks come here to discuss primarily about life in the uk and ask questions to address issues concerning the uk, I don’t think if anyone comes and see things about fixing Nigeria on this thread that will make sense of any relevance. The politics section is wide enough to express all your views there and even the things we comment on here that relate to immigration views expressed by uk politicians, topics are opened there as well where you can use such opportunity to express the reason why fixing naija is important. Yes some of us may tolerate or accommodate such things here but looks like others may just see it as annoying especially when they feel the politics section is there to accommodate such so why not focus more on life pertaining to the uk which is the main subject of this thread. Thank you!

Just a harmless post about fixing your country brought out so many triggers and you had to write this essay.
You can’t make this thing up.

When next you see a post you don’t like hop on the next one and stop giving yourself unnecessary heartache.

Ire oo

willyede:
Am not Una...I do not need to comment on post here i come here to learn how to survive in the uk of which that is what this thread is for. I have noticed that whenever there is a dig at immigrant you come here with your hypocritical Nationshaming dig at Nigerians ''to make Nigeria a better place''. I will speak for myself when i say whatever happens to Nigeria is Nigeria's business but you Nationshaming people here would be called out...If you do not see anything wrong in that Kemi's statement then its best you keep quiet and let those that are helping in the thread continue to do so...I am really out for you cos you have been doing this a lot and i am very surprised that the mods have not tamed this nationshaming attitude of yours.

It’s a Nigerian group I can post stuff about Nigeria. If you are triggered you can look away it’s not every post you engage with.

E say he is really out for me. Bro I don’t even know you.

If you don’t like a post scroll to the next I’m not here to please you.

willyede:
I don't want a better Nigeria. I no send the country...Know that and Know peac...Yet again the use of this thread is simoply for immigrant in the uk...You want a better Nigeria go to the politics section for that

But why this better Nigeria dey usually trigger una. You have never commented on any post on here but post about better naija you write epistle. You go dey alright las las abi no be so?

AgentXxx:
Una? Are you not a Nigerian? Abeg go start the fixing, we go join you , Yeye Dey smell 😒

E say na Yeye Dey smell 🤣

Shey be you don japa and you get ILR so wetin happen home no concern you. Continue.

willyede:
You keep insisting that “we will fix the nation.” I have no expectation that Nigeria will be transformed within my lifetime and am not interested in pursuing that goal. If rebuilding the country is your priority, please do so on the ground in Nigeria.

This thread is for immigrants living in the United Kingdom, not for political debates. My focus here is on handling the challenges we face abroad, not on discussing national reform.

If you wish to campaign for Nigeria’s renewal, the political section of Nairaland is the proper venue. Remember that two Nigerian presidents: Abubakar and Buhari both treated in the United Kingdom and died had years to effect change and did not. Kindly spare us the rhetoric here.

These are the issues they hate to hear or want a better a better a Nigeria/ Africa 🤣

Goke7:
This is how the falsehood of Nigeria granting US citizens only single entry visas spread like wildfire, but why is Nigeria becoming a target these days with blatant falsehood and propaganda by the west, Is there a gang up against the country, I know our sins are plenty but make dem take am easy with these lies na Omo na wa o!

If Madam kemi doesn’t want Nigerian citizenship for her children that’s fine but she doesn’t need to lie to incite hatred against Nigeria.

Youna go fix that country by force seh 🤣

Hkana:
There's nothing remotely funny about that. Everyone is entitled to their reason for japa, shouldn't be something to mock about.

I don say I no go do back and forth with folks on this faceless platform. I can give my opinion and you spin it to suit your own personal narrative even if that’s not what I meant… and that’s totally 👍🏿

One thing I have realised is in this country is that you don’t actually own your kids, the government does and they decide what’s best for them.

Mock someone for losing their kids is something I won’t do. I hope the kids are allowed home safe to their parents 🙏🏿

Goke7:
Am so sorry for all you're going through, please stay strong ( easier said than done) and seek all manner of legal help you can get.

You see all these kids that we spend huge resources on in the name of a better life, hmmm, no wonder many are sending them back home in Nigeria or Africa to school, where oraimo cord will reset their brains for real with no government interference.

Even sending them home isn’t easy. There must be valid reason.
I laugh at all them those I’m doing it for my kids that’s why I japa 🤣

Goke7:
Na you Dey see am as oju aye. They need more workers or can you do all the work all by yourself?

This narrative that there are jobs everywhere is a big fat lie. What jobs are you talking about when people you have 100 people competing for 1 role.

Na oju aye go finish this country.

directonpc:
na wa oo. Na to apply for Benue State University. 🏃

Make him try North American univerisity Udegbe Benin republic.

This one sef na abroad

We must learn to build our nation.

State pension age could 'be pushed back' to 74 as 'affordability' concerns grow

UK is not broke its all the fault of Neoliberalism

Viruses:
You can do your bit and let others do their bit. Except your bit is to raise awareness that we need to fix Africa.

Goke7:
From you and Oga Lexus una too Dey flex 😂 it’s time to save ya adopted country. Please cut soap for the land!

Allow student and their dependents and that money will be realise in 6 months.

Zahra29:
Apparently so.

Government spokesperson says it relates to a personal matter.

Wishing her the best. Politics is a brutal game.

Especially this Uk where they complain about just anything. Sun too hot they complain, rains a lot they complain 🤣

Was she crying 😭 🤣

mex551:
HELP! HELP!

Good morning my Good people. Biko see my arms. Scratches everywhere. I noticed this when I went to Naija in February. But when I came back after a few weeks it stopped. But it has started again. Always scratching me. Can any one recommend a good OTC cream or drug . I know that I will see a GP but would like what works for a black skin. My GP na oyibo😀

GP is still the best place to get the best answers.

Zahra29:
Another massive Uturn from Starmer on his flagship Welfare bill. Two Uturns in the space of 1 week, that have effectively neutered the bill, all in a desperate bid to avoid a humiliating defeat in the vote.

His own MPs have called the process "unedifying" ,"shambolic", "incoherent" etc

...and now tax rises are very likely to be announced in the Autumn budget statement to make up the £5bn shortfall from the welfare bill....(Assuming there isn't a shuffle before then to replace Reeves and/or Kendall).

Terrible optics just 1 year after a huge electoral win. It looks like they had more slogans than they had actual plans.

Hopefully Starmer and co will reflect on what went wrong and the right lessons will be learned.

Uk is broke. Where are they going to find the money?

Zahra29:
They don't have to scrutinise 25 million naturalised citizens, just the ones who fall under their radar because they've committed one or more offences on the "priority list ".

They've apparently already denaturalised one British American citizen, possibly white, so it's real and feasible.

Lesson is that a naturalised citizen can now be denaturalised, and fairly easily too it seems.

Youna dey see why I say make we fix Africa bah.

Time go tell
