16. Learn to respect peoples personal spaces and don't move uncomfortably too close to strangers in public.

17. Let people off the train before you get on as you don't want to headbutt someone getting off the train just because you are rushing to get a seat.

18. Follow the speed limits when driving as there are speed cameras littered all over UK roads.

19. Forget about driving without Driving Licence, MOT, Road Tax or insurance as apart from being randomly stopped by Patrolling Police, every CCTV / traffic light combination will run your number plate through a central database and if your car is lacking Road Tax / MOT or Insurance and you are unlucky that an ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) patrol police car is nearby on a sting operation, the CCTV in real time notifies an ANPR police car that is lurking round the corner who will have an easy task stopping you a few seconds or minutes later and UK police now have the right to seize uninsured cars and crush them to pulp.

20. You can only use your car horn while your car is moving and you need to warn other road users of your presence. Never sound your horn aggressively.

You MUST NOT use your horn: while stationary on the road or when driving in a built-up area between the hours of 11.30 pm and 7.00 am except when another road user poses a danger.

Thanks Baba

Thanks guys for the broader input.

My colleague was highly pissed off yesterday over this news and i don't really know much about it hence throwing the question out here.

Dear Xanderlex
I would appreciate a little catch up with you.
you dey my backyard since.

Also remember, the more the income the more the tax.

Xanderlex:

I appreciate this. Paying mortgage for a property back in naija and having my first kid on the way soon. Partner works with NHS but soon going on maternity. Just don't wanna be caught slacking.

A racist policy. If a Ukrainian came by boat from France, would they send the Ukrainian to Rwanda? Why is it just black and brown people they send to Rwanda?!

I and many immigrants in the UK are economic migrants. The only difference between us and the refugees crossing the channel is simply sheer luck. We were lucky to come in via the boat of university migration, and we were lucky to have the funds to pay tuition fees, visa etc.

If a book was written about the sheer hypocrisy of a small minority of black and brown people speaking/acting against black and brown refugees escaping their countries to seek a better life in the UK, that book will be a best seller.

We're being a bit one-sided here.

It's their country, and its up to them to decide who they want to come in, however that may seem to us. Students bring in money, are skilled (at least on paper) and are controlled with visa restrictions (NRPF and all that) and are offered a work-related path to immigration which suits the country (giving priority to people like health and care workers, lorry drivers, etc.) , however uneven the path may seem to us. Those who come through the people smugglers are actually circumventing the "first safe country" principle and if they actually were genuine refugees they would not traverse the whole of Europe at great expense to find their way to the UK (even though refugees are actually better off in countries such as Spain, Germany and France where they get the right to work and higher benefits, the UK only suffers from the perception of being way more multicultural and a better place to hustle + English), that much we all know.

Sometimes when I go to inner-city Manchester and see whole neighbourhoods that are basically part of New Delhi or Islamabad or any other Asian suburb, and you see that through an oyibo man's eyes, you can understand why the immigration thing is an emotive issue and how the uncontrolled aspect is a potential flashpoint for us all.

The same with Bradford and Luton, visit the city council and see how many Asians work there, they get all housing associations and council houses,that is what happens with uncontrolled immigration

Why the complaints, didnt GB colonised India, Pakistan and Bangladesh? Germany that never colonised any country is accommodating more foreigners of different immigration status including asylum seekers than the UK does.
The Problem with UK stems from this elitistic and aristrocastic system.
This system is systematically crumbling the society by breeding juveniles of poor or total lack of parenthood. It is just natural that the locals are becoming xenophobic because you See increasing numbers of Locals turning miscreants , many more are living on social benefits while the foreigners seem to be progressing,

Germany colonised several places, such as Fiji, Cameroun and Namibia, and actually committed one of the worst genocides in history in Namibia.

The solution therefore is to let anybody to Jump into a boat, come into the UK and live happily ever after.

Is that it?

And if the UK says no. We need to stop the nonsense then… The UK is racist right?

MyOgaFromHR, I meant to say was no significant colonial power like the UK.

Your argument therefore is:
Because the UK colonised a lot of places, the UK must now accept people to jump into inflatable boats and come to the UK? Is that it?

You colonised us. It is now your responsibility to let us into your country illegally on boats. And if you say no, or put a stop to the illegal boat crossing, then you are racists.

Is that your point?

It's probably becos they were also trying to obey rule 3 by staying away from their fellow country people

SirWellington:


Truth be told, in some cases we hate ourselves. I got a job in a hospital as a mental health worker, the hospital is one of the biggest in the UK, they even have branches in Dubai and other top sites in the world, we got some Nigerian nurses from dubai to come work here, these nurses got here and started seeing us as competition, I mean most of us aren't nurses yet o, we are morelike assistant nurses and some of us are aiming getting a nursing degree in two years or so (since it's flexible here even with any degree as your first degree you can get your M. Sc. in Nursing as well as your license), these Nigerian nurses tend to be more friendly with other nationals, offer more assistance to them, you greet these nurses, they don't answer you, they make frivolous reports against some of us being that they want to prove they are working and these has made them look funny to management because the reports don't hold any grounds. Truth is, just be at the top of your game, remain straight forward and upright in your dealings, hopefully, one day, we get to see ourselves as one.

but uk came to Africa illegally on boats plundered our resource, took our people as slaves, massacred our people. This is just karma. Most countries like Bulgaria that never did that nobody goes there.

Anybody understood why refugees coming into UK by boat should go to Rwanda please?

I really don't understand what this is all about?

is colonial mentality and money exchanging hands.

LagosismyHome:


You do know many Eastern European do try to cross illegally as well. I am sure they will be on the plane to Rwanda. Nobody going to say form a line, if you are black or brown enter the plane, if you are white cross .... I highly doubt that

Either way you cannot win.... UK trying their best to control immigration, come in legally let know who you are, we use visa check tosee your immigration history, now they added police report to help not let criminals enter. .... illegal immigration you have no clue of what a person is coming with. It still the public who been affected if an illegal immigrants was a criminal in that country and gets into the country illegally and unchecked

Also these people smuggling is no cheap at all. .. I think let them use policy to deter so everyone can use legal method. It always doesn't have to be about race

there is no problem with the policy but why Rwanda? Why not some island?

BorisJohnson:


I really doubt if a Ukrainian fleeing Putin’s bombs will run away from Mariupol, get on a coach to Poland or Hungary. Then get on trains through other safe countries. Arrive France. Then pay smugglers thousands of £££ to hop into a dinghy boat and cross the channel.
In any case, there is no evidence to show that a Ukrainian who is smuggled in illegally, arrives on a boat via the channel will it be on The Road to Kigali.

I once shared a flat with a couple of Caucasians in London. Our flat was raided one early morning. Two of my flat mates ( including 2 others who had been living with them - I didn’t know those ones sef) where whisked away. To cut short story long, they were deported for being illegal immigrants.

I guess my point is, stop all this talk about Racism. Every country in the world (including Black and Brown countries) have border policies.

Ukrainians fleeing war are mostly Children, Women and the Elderly. Black & Brown people fleeing ‘wars’ and arriving in inflatable boats are almost exclusively Young Men and Pseudo-Children - Virile young men in late twenties/early 30s who arrive and claim to be 16.

if these guys are shipped to Rwanda do you know the average Rwandan citizen has been put in harms way?

Ticha:


#30k deposit for a BTL is a maximum #120k purchase. The only time you get away with less than a 25% is if you're buying a home to live in. Be realistic in your dreams o. Otherwise you go just waste money with nothing to show at the end of it. It's why the wealth creation industry exists - making millions from property is a big one. Lots and lots of stories that touch emanating from there.

For a #300k BTL property, stamp duty alone is #14k then you need a deposit of #75k. So before you even start, almost #100k don comot from ya pocket.

Mehn, this one isn't nice

Ticha:


1. You are seriously underestimating your costs. For each purchase, you have #30k for deposit, #600 for solicitors fees, #3,600 for stamp duty. Then you need change EICR, GSC and letting costs. You can cut letting costs by using Open Rent which is c. #500 ish to include credit checking. If you decide to do a survey, that's another #600-#800. If the house is in top spec condition, you might get away with a deep clean otherwise, you also need to budget funds for small repairs before letting.

Thanks for the explanation

I appreciate

It is the country who agreed to take uk responsibility....not all countries would agree to such because there pros and cons to any agreement

Also I think uk would purposely pick an undesirable location because this is to serve as a determent

Dear Xanderlex
I would appreciate a little catch up with you.
you dey my backyard since.

You're welcome

giselle237:
it is usually worse than this, that is why they get turned back

A family friends son who was a mechanic some years back managed to get an "Ori olori" (someone else's head) to use in traveling to America. The occupation stated on the "Ori olori" was Statistician / Mathematics Lecturer but at the point of entry in Yankee, Mr Mecho was given a simple Mathematics logic question and he could not answer it and he was deported pronto.

His Dad could not stop making fun of him telling him - you see yourself now, when you were absconding from school, I warned you of the repercussions but you would not listen.

jesmond3945:

Obviously, they didnt run it past buhari, he would have set up an IDP camp for them for less than £120m

I really don't understand what this is all about?

It's a more draconian stance along the lines of Theresa May's policy of (making the UK Inhospitable for illegal immigrants) and the major problem I have with the Rwandan policy is the fact that the Rwandan Govt may think they are getting free money from the UK Govt in return but how many dangerous criminals from Eastern Europe will end up in Rwanda and cause trouble all over Africa.

The Rwandan President probably doesn't know the number of dangerous criminals in Europe who daily try to escape from one European country or the other into Britain ??

The Rwandan President is advised to look at the following list of European and Non European hardened criminals some of who have escaped from their own home countries and are still escaping into the UK and maybe he will have a rethink - https://eumostwanted.eu/

Rwandan President probably does not know that on the above Europol wanted list (similar to America's Interpol) is a female named Zámečníková Eva who is wanted for attempted assassination in her home country of Slovak Republic and the Rwandan President may think that all Europeans have clean records and can not be criminals. he will be shocked.

What happens if the fugitives on the above Europol list claim asylum in the UK and are immediately sent to Rwanda and these are dangerous criminals if you look at the faces and crimes they committed on the above list.

I just hope the British are not again playing on the naivety and laziness of African leaders when it comes to doing their own personal research as the Brits may intentionally see this Rwanda policy as a way of dumping dangerous criminals in Africa as it serves 2 purposes for the Brits - 1. They can report falling numbers of illegal immigrants (an election winner in Britain for any political party) and 2. If dangerous criminals are dumped in Africa, crime will drop in the UK and it will go up in Africa.

What part of Manchester please make I go do amebo, there is one street/area in Liverpool, it's basically another country

umarwy:

Basically all those places like Chorlton, Longsight, Rusholme, Cheetham, Whalley Range, etc.
It's always interesting to walk down Oxford Road past the hospitals and I get the feeling there is an imaginary boundary of sorts after you pass the park and it seems as if you have just crossed from England into Asia.

Oldham is another matter altogether, it's just Bradford.

They no fit sell Nigeria to the media as a safe country, unfortunately.
That £120m would have propped up the naira exchange rate a little so I can extract the rest of my funds from Naija.
