What is it with this Pastor nonsense and giving them money for - nothing!


My own that came on Spousal Visa did not even celebrate her first salary with me but gave money to all and sunder in Nja - the same waste of space that did not lift her when she was back there. Divorce loading....

Divorce, cause she gave home people money or something else?
Remember, it favours nobody if kids are involved.
You can still work things out if it has not gone so deep.

This is the source of their inability to get other jobs in UK if the original Sponsor job is not available.

"You can be fined up to £20,000 for employing illegal workers.'

No business wants to be fined

You don’t know what’s playing!


If you know the count of people who have bought employment, you won’t be making such statement

Mindlog:
Read up if you have not had personal experience.

I mentioned 3 bedroom duplex. One is the young person's room, one the office and the third, the sleep -in room for staff.

The young person who have been taken away from the his/her family through the courts, is placed in such a home. There homes run by private firms who have gone through the scrutiny of OFSTED, the regulatory agency. Government pay between £13,000 to £20,000 per week for a child in these homes

The more complex the child's issue is, the more the homes charges because there are children who need 4:1 going by their care plan which means 4 staff will be on shift for that child, if it is a 12hrs shift another set of 4 workers will take over from the first set and the next 12hrs shift.

You are the one to read well. I said tou claim is somehow unbelievable, that does not mean you lied.

I have never worked in care industry b4 and I don't I will ever do. So I don't know much about the system.

Nigerian agents are really wicked. Why make. Money and punish people like this?

I just came from visiting a childhood friend in Kazakhstan . He is also stucked there. Agent promised him heaven and earth. How he can board a train and cross to Europe after landing in Almaty.

My guy didn't plan, didn't think, didn't even tell me, me that I have been living in Europe for long. He even told his parents he is leaving same week of his departure. Now life has been handling him bitterly in Kazakhstan.

If the guy ever comes back to Nigeria, I swear to God he will kill the agent if he finds him. The kind of fury in his heart, I don't think God can heal it.

To be broke in a Muslim country is no joke. As a first son, parents are sick back home and needs cash, but he can't turn up.

Growing old and living in a country where you can't be a citizen, and even if you become one, the passport can't take you anywhere reasonable. Okay why not leave? He is broke. Going back to Nigeria is a no no, depression will kill him there.

And he is not the only one. Many like him are there. And I keep asking myself (not him because I don't offend anyone), are you daft? Can't you think for yourself? Why allow people use you? What the point of your maturity or being an adult?

Agent might want to use you, but the agent can only scam you if you allow it to happen. People should learn to assume full agency of their life and stop thinking other people wish you well.

Whatever.

tell your friend to move to Russia if his Visa is still valid.

Travel agents are all flying demons. Be careful not to fall for their white lies

You had £10,000 to give out

You fell for a scam that is still existing till now and people are still falling for it.


Why didn't you Invest that money on yourself
Own your own business that'll fetch you daily income.

Why Russia?

His visa expired. And even if it had not, one can't enter Russia with a kazakh visa

Nigerians are not the only people looking for opportunities in the UK. You shouldn't expect that every Nigerian must make it in the UK. There British people who are struggling in UK while you have some Nigerians living like Kings in the UK.
No be everything una go turn to news. No be everybody go make am. If you're a Nigerian living like a destitute in the UK, no by force, you either come back to Nigeria or enjoy your destitute life. No body send una papa message..

I have enjoyed and gained so much from uk govt than I would have in Nigeria.

So much, as in so so much. Be it money or health wise and so much opportunity to excel out there.

Your people live larger than life when they land anywhere. They are not humble. They are not ready to start from down there and grow.

Unless you come in through the back door, you can go as far as you want. Just keep your ear on the ground.

True talk. Nigerians will get to foreign countries today and want to be the boss that same day.

do you think it's a stranger that flexed that money? it's fellow Nigerians over there who are either their class mates, neighbours or even relatives who deceived them entirely.

Desperation landed them in that mess.

Why paying to get a job?
Our people are so used to bribing and paying to land jobs.

The instruction was simple but they wanted short cut.

I live in the UK
It took me 4 years of planning to relocate.

My pathway was simple and I followed it.
I didn't pay a dime to anyone.
I only paid official fees for the necessary exams that I took and to register with the medical council.

They just weren't intelligent enough to grasp the application process.

This new batch of japarians aren't it at all. Most of them aren't educated.

People left destitute after coming to the UK on skilled worker visas only to find there's no job

One woman from Nigeria tells Sky News she paid £10,000 to an "agent" for a skilled worker visa on the promise of work in the UK - only to find out the job did not exist.

Blessing, not her real name, told us she arrived in the UK three months ago. She says she paid someone she calls an "agent" in Nigeria £10,000 to arrange a job as a carer in the UK. But when she got here she found there was no work for her.

"I should be in a position of helping, not receiving aid," says one Nigerian woman.

Fraught with emotion and speaking to us anonymously in the narrow corridor of a food bank, she is now destitute despite being promised a job in Britain.

Blessing, not her real name, told us she arrived in the UK three months ago. She says she paid someone she calls an "agent" in Nigeria £10,000 to arrange a job as a carer in the UK.

But when she got here she found there was no work for her.

Her story is part of a wider problem, revealed in a Sky News investigation this year showing how the skilled worker visa system is being abused with middlemen allegedly being paid huge sums of money to arrange jobs in the UK as carers that do not exist.

Many of those who can't get work are struggling to survive, turning to food banks and even sleeping rough.

Blessing is now reliant on handouts.

At a food bank in a Nigerian Community Centre in Greater Manchester she is given a shopping bag of basic supplies - the shelves and crates are packed with donations of bread, cereal, tinned tomatoes and familiar African items like palm oil and beans.

Blessing says: "I've always provided for myself. I'm a very hard-working, diligent person. So for me to be here depending on people to eat coming to the food bank to get food isn't ok with me.

"I don't feel happy about it.

"It makes me feel I'm less of a person. I should be in a position of helping not receiving aid because this is not who I was back in my country."

'It makes me feel as though I'm a fool'

Blessing asked us not to contact the British company which sponsored her for fear of repercussions - but showed us her passport and other documents supporting her account of what happened.

I ask her why she didn't make the application herself. With some irony, she says: "I would have done it myself but there are so many frauds on the internet [in Nigeria] you don't know what's real.

"It makes me feel as though I'm a fool," she says.

Blessing says she knows others who have skilled worker visas only to get here and find there's no work waiting for them.

She sighs: "There are so many. Dozens. I met a lot here and so many are still coming after I've come. There's a big scam going on."

'Shameful' issue

Mary Adekugbe, the founder of the Nigerian Community Centre in Rochdale, says those on skilled worker visas now needing support is a big issue that is increasing her workload - something she describes as "shameful". For Lisa Holland VT.

About 15 of the 35-40 people who generally come to the weekly food bank have skilled worker visas, she says.

"We are overwhelmed," she says. "People are desperate. It's so worrying."

She paints us a picture of those she has seen: "A grown-up man crying like a baby. Children crying without food because their parents can't work to support them. No houses. No job. This is alarming."

'She sold everything she had'

As we finish chatting by the front door two women scurry past with their bags of food. It's only afterwards we're told their story - that they were too ashamed to speak to us: one of the women has hit rock bottom and, with nowhere else to go, lives on the bus.

Community volunteer Jones Adekube says: "Last week we gave her bread and tuna because that's what she can eat easily without cooking or warming."

Now homeless, the lady on the bus is yet another person who paid an agent in Nigeria to arrange care work in the UK, we're told.

Mr Adekube says: "She did some work when she came in. Initially they gave her one shift a week which is 12 hours a week. As time went on there were no shifts.

"According to what she showed us she was offered a full-time job as a carer. And now she's sleeping on the bus."

He adds: "She's in a bad way. She can't go back home. She has nothing at home. She sold everything she had."

'It's not been easy'

Another couple - we're calling them Allen and Joyce - have come to the UK with their young son.

We've changed their names but they showed us documents which prove they're in the UK on skilled worker visas.

Joyce says she was also promised work as a carer and Allen was able to accompany her because he is classed as her dependent.

Allen says: "It's not been easy. I had to sell my car; sell my property, get a loan and took a lot of risk to raise the money."

Under the terms of the skilled worker visa they can't work in any other job category and are limited to 20 hours a week under another employer in the care sector.

Often, home care providers require access to a car, and permanently switching sponsors is almost impossible.

Joyce says: "It's very difficult because most jobs you want to get - they will first of all tell you that you've got a sponsor from somewhere else. So maybe you should go back to that place to get your job. That's what they always say."

"We are begging the [UK] government if they can look into it, even if it is not skilled work, if they can give us another sponsorship or any other work, we are ready to do. For our survival."

Over 170,000 skilled worker visas issued in a year

In the 12 months to March 2023, 170,993 skilled worker visas have been awarded. In the health and care sector alone, grants have increased over two and a half times and represent over half of all work visas issued in the same period.

On the job with the lowest entry requirement - care workers and home carers - 40,416 people were awarded visas in the year to March 2023.

In different parts of the country and across different communities we are hearing the same thing.

In Bradford in West Yorkshire, people in the town's established Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities speak of their concerns about people struggling to eat and put a roof over their heads having come to the UK to work.

'They are desperate'

[b]Moin Uddin Khan, who owns the large Al-Falah Supermarket in Bradford, says people are always coming in asking for work - predominantly people who have come on skilled worker visas.

Mr Khan says: "They are very desperate. Some people they come begging me because I don't have any food to eat - and you get this every day."

The shop manager, Anhar Ali, says some applicants never had any intention of working as carers in the first place - the job they were sponsored for as a condition of coming into the country.

He says: "Some of them are told before they arrive, 'you won't have a job, you're only arriving here'. And they do pay a lot of money. It's just a way to get to the UK."

Some of the people who are abusing the route to reach Britain, Mr Ali says, come into the shop without even being able to speak English - a basic requirement to obtain a skilled worker visa.
Anhar Ali, a shop manager of Al-Falah Supermarket in Bradford, says some applicants never had any intention of working as carers in the first place.

In the back office, he shows us the latest pile of CVs from people trying to get a job. He has to check each one with the Home Office's online immigration status tool - otherwise the store could be fined thousands of pounds.

Nearly half the rejected CVs, Mr Ali claims, come from people recently arriving on skilled worker visas as carers but who cannot legally do shop work.

And there is a strain, Mr Ali admits, on the community over those willing to do anything for even below minimum wage.

"If they're going to businesses and offering themselves for less money some businesses may want to go down that route and employ them and sack the local employees," he says.

Mobeen Hussain, who founded a community hub and cafe in Queensbury, on the outskirts of Bradford, says some people have an unrealistic view of how easy it will be to build a new life in Britain.

He says: "I think a lot of people feel that they're going to come over here, they're going to start a new life, it's going to be a life where they're going to make lots of money, they're going to be living a lavish lifestyle. But it's nothing like that."
Mobeen Hussain, who founded a community hub and cafe in Queensbury, on the outskirts of Bradford, says some people have an unrealistic view of how easy it will be to build a new life in Britain.

Mr Hussain said the government checks are weak and should be tightened.

A Home Office spokesperson said: "Abuse of our immigration system will not be tolerated and we have robust measures in place to ensure compliance.

"We will always take decisive action if employers break the rules, including by revoking sponsor licences when necessary."

Too much lies by our foreign brothers has led many astray! Few always say the truth.

But at some point, when you tell them the truth, they will think you don’t wish them well!


Many have sold a good life in Nigeria to buy depression and frustration.

The minute I began hearing "why are you still there if UK is that bad", I stopped advising people. All I did was to make people realistic about expectations.
The next thing is for them to say you are stingy, no matter how much you have tried.

People forgot that you cannot just pack up and leave a place you have lived in for decades, with children.

Slavery

More Goyim tax slaves .

This is the same situation in Canada if not worse.

But why anyone will see the JewK as a place to migrate to beats me .

Same Jewk that as late as the 60s the average Brit could only afford to take a hot bath once every two weeks .

If not for the 0koro coup of Jan 15 and the follow-up senseless 0koro instigated civil war that benefited British and Rothschild through war debt reparations, JewK would still have been a glorified serfdom.

In 1983, the Thatcher govt under the advice of the same instigator of the Nigerian civil war -Baron Victor Rothschild, backed a coup in Nigeria which saw the demon Buhari assume power and pay off all of Nigeria's civil war debt in one full swoop so as to bail the JewK out of an economic depression ochestrated by a spike in oil pricing. Fast forward to 2015, Buhari was brought back to finish Nigeria with more senseless debt to Jewish banksters so much so that the Jews in both London and Jew York own Nigeria.

Nigeria's case is so sad. A proud people who fell for Jewish tricks.

You don't get it.

People that are doing shit, low paid jobs aren't paying much taxes at all. That's why the UK people are sick of immigration. Lowly educated immigrants, take out more from the system than they contribute. That's an economic drain, not a benefit. High paying earners are carrying the UK economy. The more you earn, the more you're taxed.

omohayek:
There are two problems with this issue here (apart from the non-existent proof-reading), namely

1. Being a "carer" is the very opposite of being a "skilled worker" - it doesn't take any "skills" to change bedpans and wipe the chins of old people in retirement homes - which is why carers are notoriously poorly paid in the UK.

2. Precisely because carers are terribly paid, there are tens of thousands of carer positions going vacant, so the only reason why someone who went to the UK to find carer work isn't doing the job is because she doesn't want to. Evidently, going to the food banks to seek handouts is a better use of her time than disposing of the faeces of bedridden white people (and really, who can blame her for making that conclusion?)

The takeaway lesson here is a simple one: don't apply for a "skilled worker" visa in a country like the UK unless you are actually a skilled worker! And by "skilled" I mean in things that require university degrees and substantial white collar experience (e.g. medicine, engineering, etc.) - things that would make you universally recognised as "skilled" even in Nigeria.

Exactly. Her story isn't adding up. There are thousands of vacancies for unskilled labourers.
It seems like she knew what she was going to do in the UK, but just doesn't want to do it.

She just wanted a way out of Nigeria.

And there's a misconception, people that frequent food banks aren't literally starving. They'd just rather use their money for other things.

ANYBODY can visit a food bank in the UK.

Op, this is a very horrible copy and paste job.

You couldn't even edit the post or add pictures. I'm not even sure you read the article to the end, and even if you did you didn't understand it. At all
