sukkot:
the silent prayer is that God please don’t let my mother or father fall sick within this 10 to 15 year timespan or else I am most likely never going to see them again.

There are many Nigerians in the same Uk who got work permit to work as auditors, nurses, tech , doctors,HR etc directly from Nigeria. There is post graduate work permit of 2 years for students who graduated. Many that could not get job after studies settled for care work 5 years work permit. All these categories listed above can travel to Nigeria at will.

Only people who cant leave are illegal immigrants whose visas have expired. Some of them could not come home for their own weddings talkless of burial. Abeg what is the big deal there now Person wey stay country illegally doesn’t have a choice na. This topic no follow.

ednut1:
are you the one in this shoes Did they complain to you about their predicaments? So why are you bothered or concerned for them I thought you left trolling in 2022. Omo na u sabi. Out of here

Ajibade123:

If someone goes to the UK with his/her spouse through work visa, how many years can the person stay there legally after completing the degree(post graduate)

folake4u:
Why dont you add a caveat to your post? The title is misleading. You could have simply said For illegal Japarians.

I don't see why you can't travel to and fro Nigeria if you're a legal immigrant but as usual, agenda must agend.

And it's not like it's your own personal experience. Amebo!

sukkot:
lol bro do people have to complain to you before you know their plight ? And yes a few people are complaining lol. I posted the video of an optimistic guy , I would look for the video, who promised his mother he would not be like his brother who had been abroad for 30 years and has never come home , and that she should not worry that after 1 year he would return and come and buy her house, 8 years later the guy is in YouTube crying that he does not have papers yet and he hasn’t seen his mother since then and he couldn’t fulfill that promise. Please if anyone can find that video post it here. People are complaining bro. Question is are yyouu listening ?

sukkot:
doesn’t have to be illegal. You could be stuck because of too many bills. No savings

A man is not blessed in his comfort zone. If you really want to succeed you have to numb your emotional ties and fracture some relationships.

sukkot:
So this topic has to be explored because I know many people personally under this category. Now I don’t know about other countries but let’s focus on the UK for this topic.

I know that unless you are extremely lucky it is going to take you between 10 to 15 years to fully settle in terms of papers and money and career and housing etc. in between that time you are running from pillar to post and the silent prayer is that God please don’t let my mother or father fall sick within this 10 to 15 year timespan or else I am most likely never going to see them again.

Well I have many friends and relatives who this happened to. In that time span that they are still unsettled and looking for paper or money, mama get cancer for naija. They are stuck abroad. Mama eventually die. So they never got to see their mother for over 10 years and will never see her again.

So I guess the question is if you find yourself in a situation like this, being in the UK for over 8 years and papers never correct so you are stuck, then you hear that your mother is dying.

WHAT DO YOU DO? DO YOU ABORT MISSION AND RETURN BACK TO NIGERIA TO BE WITH YOUR DYING MOTHER KNOWING YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO RETURN TO THE UK AGAIN OR DO YOU JUST FASHI MAMA AND LET HER DIE WHILE YOU CoNTINUE YOUR QUEST TO LOOK FOR PAPERS AND POUNDS ? What would you do?

koonbey:
The fact that you know many people whom this has happened to is a reflection of the poor quality of your circle, not the general reality for people who travel abroad. It's because those people are entering the country illegally that it takes them decades to 'fully settle in terms of papers'.

People who enter the country legally and have their papers from day 1 are free to, and often do travel around the world, including Europe, the US, and wherever else including back home to Nigeria to visit as they wish, whether they're students or workers or whatever else.

So, dear Mr. Sukkot, make new friends or get new family members who don't go about traveling illegally, and you'll stop hearing these kinds of stories, and boring us with them as well.

You know a lot of people love negativity and the interesting thing about such people is that they never really progress in life. Just remain in mediocrity until they die abd waste away. This op is one of them.

The person that was in UK and couldn't come home for him mama burial is it because he could not afford tickets? because that is the only time u can't come home. How much is air fare from UK to Nigeria that such useless fellow could not afford?

It is only when u get into the UK through Libya or something very very illegal and you consider yourself a fugitive that it will take upto 10 years for you to find your footing. That lime about 10 to 15 years is a huge lie.

To the OP, your perspective on this topic you raised is not difficult to see. You are a very negative person and in ur entire life, u may not really see anything good in this life because you have to be very positive go succeed.

One of our guys from school in Nigeria that started internship in a Canadian law firm some years ago built himself up to buy the lawfirm after becoming a citizen and even change the lawfirm to Osuji and Co lawfirm. He is one of the most prolific lawyers in Canada. He drives a Gwagon and is the only black man that drives such where he lives. These are the kind stories I like to focus on.

bigadler:


You're 💯 on point. The OP only painted an illegal immigrant's experience, cos 10-15 years for what?

I've been into relocation and study abroad services and I can tell you from experience that some Nigerians love shortcuts, which later become longcuts.

When you tell some Nigerians to invest just 1 year learning a skill or doing a course that would help them get a good job abroad, they think it's too long, so they opt for the fast option of using a tourist visa. They get there and can't do any legal work and they have to spend over a decade settling in a foreign country.
