We are unnecessarily being profiled and it's all wrong, when I knew It was all a joke was when Student visa processing last year was delayed for more attention to be paid to the Ukrainian refugees as in those bringing money into the country were being held back for those bringing nothing, chai we don suffer

Advision:
True bro. You get a refund if you challenge most councils.

I am afraid to say more before someone takes it to youtube and make a public debate of new immigrants not paying council tax.

Advision:
If you don't have an ILR and no recourse to public fund, you probably should not pay council tax. It's worth checking as many dont know this

Not really, council tax bands can be so random that sometimes you question how they arrived at it.

When I was living in a terrace house my house number is 9 and my council tax band was B while my neighbour in number 8 was on band A, the same house size. The excuse my landlady gave then was that my house is end-of-terrace.

Good afternoon guru, please my council tax is £1712 per year. Is this not too much?

Schooling, and Healthcare is free in London and every part of UK till Tertiary. People pay for private services in London and every part of the UK so don't bring that Middlesbrough argument o I know people who pay for private education in remote parts of Wales. Londoners do it because they can not because they have to.

As for Mortgage costs, houses appreciate more in London than Middlesbrough. I know folks who bought "expensive" properties worth about 450k some years back, now they are getting offers of almost £1m. So don't pity such Londoners, as long as they bought right, they will be fine, my dear.

Meanwhile, I need to visit this Middlesbrough

This narrative that most Brits are uneducated and unskilled is not helpful or accurate. The vast majority of skilled and leadership positions are occupied by Brits. There might be a shortage in some industries like Engineering due to the historical relative unpopularity of STEM courses, but it is mainly the roles that are viewed as low skilled and/or low paid that Brits do not want to do.

Any government official that believes this should not be in a position of planning

I have not come across a Brit that would pay 15k, Visa + IHS fee and separate from family all cos of a masters degree. They'd consider it ridiculous. How then does the UK expect a low income Nigeria to churn out such cash to stuff their coffers?

Returning to contribute is one of the hypocritical statements branded around. They could stay back and contribute to the UK economy. For the Nigerian labour market, a UK masters is not worth any more that masters from elsewhere. Many times not worth the paper it was issued on.

Over 95% of folks coming for masters see it as a means to emigrate legally. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Just like with being part of the EU, the UK economy gains much more from international students than it gives.

Hi guys - I'm travelling to Canada (from the UK) for a couple of weeks, please what's the best card/bank to use while abroad. Will appreciate any input.

There's nothing you people cannot justify.

She took a side job that would require her to be regularly at another place for a full day meaning that the place where she works (and her colleagues and possibly patients that depend on her services) would lose a full day of the assistance she could have provided.

Cost of living crisis - is she the only one in the crisis? As a pharmacist she's paid significantly above the average in the UK. So if everyone in her workplace starts disappearing for full days at will, how will her workplace function?

This sort of sob-story mentality that you people use to justify misbehaviour, again, is how many of our institutions have been reduced to rubbish.

Mroriginal2022:
Madam,

Only if you know how grossly underpaid core professionals are In the uk, you wouldn’t be saying this. A pharmacist with 2 kids who took a side gig for 3 months probably to cushion the effect of the cost of living crisis, if she was paid well enough, she might not have considered it in the first place. She was already suspended , why fire her after suspension and the whole issue seems overflogged.

kwakudtraveller:
This story get as e be. Her colleague suspected that she was not sick and reported her. Them come dey even snoop around her LinkedIn page. E sure me die say na Oyinbo colleagues. Suspending her license for dishonesty sounds like an overkill to me.

Solumtoya:
London, like New York or Lagos, is expensive and we would mostly wanna stay away from it.

But it is also filled with opportunities that keep many of us thriving.

I know one Nigerian guy that got a Tech role paying like £70k in London. He was at it for less than a year before switching to one of the big banks on a close to 6-digit offer. And there are so many of such roles asking to employ and sponsor him in London. Telling him to move to Middlesbrough would be a joke.
