We are seriously an embarrassing people to be honest.

A mad man from Usa wil be respected overseas because one's prestige from home rubs on him.

If where we come from is in tatters, no matter how we succeed on independent levels outside d country, that respect, honour and prestige, we will never earn it.

Japa: UK stops Nigerian students, others from bringing dependants.


The Home Office of the United Kingdom on Monday announced that it had commenced the implementation of its policy banning Nigerian students and other overseas students from bringing in dependants via the study visa route.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Home Office reiterated that only those on postgraduate research or government-sponsored scholarship students will be exempted from the development.

“We are fully committed to seeing a decisive cut in migration. From today, new overseas students will no longer be able to bring family members to the UK. Postgraduate research or government-funded scholarships students will be exempt,” the Home Office said.

The PUNCH reports that in May 2023, the United Kingdom put in place a law to stop Nigerian students, and others studying in the UK from bringing family as dependents except under specific circumstances.


This is as the UK government aims to bring down immigration into the country which stands at about one million.

Under the new rule, the UK will remove the permission for international students to switch out of the student route and into work routes before their studies have been completed to prevent misuse of the visa system.

Sky News also added that “there will also be a review of the maintenance requirement for students and dependents and a crackdown on ‘unscrupulous’ education agents who make use of inappropriate applications to sell immigration, not education.”


A statement on the UK’s Home Office official site adds that the “New government restrictions to student visa routes will substantially cut net migration by restricting the ability for international students to bring family members on all but post-graduate research routes and banning people from using a student visa as a backdoor route to work in the UK.

“The ONS estimated that net migration was over 500,000 from June 2021 to June 2022. Although partly attributed to the rise in temporary factors, such as the UK’s Ukraine and Hong Kong schemes, last year almost half a million student visas were issued while the number of dependants of overseas students has increased by 750 per cent since 2019, to 136,000 people.”

The Home Office also noted that this new rule was not at the expense of the government’s commitment to the public to lower overall migration and ensure that migration to the UK was highly skilled and provided the most benefit.

According to them, the proposal is aimed at allowing “the government to continue to meet its International Education Strategy commitments while making a tangible contribution to reducing net migration to sustainable levels. The government has also made clear that the terms of the graduate route remain unchanged.”

Which 9 million... Most spent 18 to 20m to meet this deadline that passed

How much for first installments before CAS? Most schools ask students to pay 7500 from Nigeria and only few went below 5000 pounds now convert it to naira @ 1400 pounds at September.

Put visa fee and health 1450 dollars.
Flight ticket
House rent money
Pocket money at least you should hold 3k for hand when u land to rent house and other things.

Our leaders messed up the country. No jobs, nothing, unemployment business going down. People sold all they have. From cars, land, building, personal belongings to meet up and I pray God help them settled on time and be successful anywhere they find themselves

The UK government really got this right, but they should focus on the yoruba people in the uk and deport half of them back to Nigeria, because yoruba people too plenty for UK and if cares is not taken, they will take over the UK, this is the singular reason why i said i will never go to the UK even if you give me free visa. My friend who travelled to the UK said everywhere he went to, he will see people speaking yoruba and he said he had to check again if was in the UK or lagos
Just see yourself... Wetin Yoruba people do Una

The same person kept replying that if that one no work them go enter another one, the fact that I share a passport with people that brag about leaving their country for others hurts me so deep, sometimes I tear up and wish I was from another African nation

You don’t see other Africans embarrassing themselves like this, we are everywhere like cockroaches, like our nation is war torn

If I were the citizen of such countries reading those comments, my blood would boil and I would treat every Nigerian I come across as a nonentity unapologetically

Imagine some extremely poor country joking on their sites that they will soon enter Nigeria and act like they own the place, it is so extremely annoying

Your help can never come from above. There's a reason you're created with hands and legs and brain. Stop looking for what doesn't exist. Look inwards
