You just like to trouble our dear Aunty Z sha, lol 😂 please let her breathe o, so much is going on in our world today, as some are increasing visa fees others are preparing for mass deportations, gbas gbos everywhere, can’t wait for 2025, so much in store for everyone.

Zahra29:
I guess it goes to show that every country has a limit and it's not racist to want to control the numbers of people coming in as you've been claiming the last few years.

Thank goodness you're moving to Canada soon to convince the govt that their indigenous birth rate is declining and therefore they need much more immigration, not less.

University cash crisis to get worse despite tuition fee rise, BBC told



Almost three quarters of universities in England will face financial problems next year - despite tuition fees increasing, the BBC has been told.


[b]This has led to lower recruitment and increased pressure in universities that accept middling grades, and some smaller institutions.

International recruitment has also fallen, with overall visa applications down by about 16% this year, and 20% fewer applications from India alone.

Capitalism has failed us.

90% of global wealth is owned and controlled by 5% of the population.

Hehe... Na our lady finally.. Her views are not too distant from that of the general populace as regards immigrants. Interaction is part of education and she has also changed her tune with time.

Irrespective of what happens in the short term, the seesaw of developed countries seeking immigrants would only get worse until such a time there is a balanced demography between the old and young. I can only hope developing nations pick up and get themselves out of thus quagmire just like China has done

Hehe... Zahra my soon to be British compatriot.
I'm not 'moving' to Canada perse. Initially going for a stint abi sabbatical. Hoping to enjoy the experience and decide afterwards. Irrespective, I'd still be British. My tax and years of service would not be in vain.

Canada has always recognised it needs more migration. How else did they have over 45% of their population to be of British heritage? Despite recent restrictions, they still continue to accept over 1% of their population annually as permanent residents aside others. My going there is to 'join body' with my fellow British compatriots in a sister state- remember Charley is also their monarch.

BTW, I need your help with 2 things:

1. Prayers- I'm hoping the move prospers so I dont return soon. Eitherway, I'd complete necessary paperwork so if I decide to return within 3-5yrs, it should be straightforward.

2. Advise- I'm wondering what to do with my house. It's a detached house in the southern part of the country within which I have decent equity. Renting is quite steep. Do you think I should sell and move or rent?

Cyberknight:
Oh? Which half - that which generally comes out with good arguments or that which comes up with the odd sophism?

jedisco:
Interesting article.

Attempts to answer a simple question. Why has something so easy as migration not been cut despite every government of the last 20yrs promising to do so? PM after PM has been slaughtered on this alter yet each succesive one keeps coming for more... Abi na cocaine? Reminds me of a discussion with someone during the last riot - I reminded him that without migration, the UK is in an 'enviable' position where its population would naturally fall. We both wondered why they can't just cut migration to zero and in doing that solve all of our problems


The broader objection that I would get from the prime minister and from the chancellor of the exchequer and other ministers, was that if we were going to cut immigration, then we would be actually cutting revenue”. She told us of “one conversation I had along the lines of, ‘Well, Suella, if you want to halve net migration to 300,000, you realise that's going to cost us £3 billion. That's the same as a cut to income tax.’”

Zahra29:
Lol, you do love to talk. Fact is that Canada is no longer as immigration friendly as it used to be and if the Conservatives push Trudeau out as expected, their immigration laws will get a lot tighter. The same complaints you've had about the UK, its people,policies and govt, are very likely the same complaints you will have in Canada, if not more lol.

Happy to help:

1. I pray that your heart's desires are granted.

2. I advise that you pray for wisdom to make the right decision.

Shalom

This also applies to other western countries. Labour mobility is their wealth secret. Any attempt to disrupt will always lead to unfavourable outcomes for their economy. They can bang their heads on the wall it won’t change anything. Like we say in naija if e easy make dem run am! 😜

Congrats to Nigeria and Miss Chidinma Adetshina - (Miss Universe Nigeria, Africa and miss Oceania). The babes beauty dey enter my eye.


I remember having the discussion here when she was advised to be 'realistic' and bow to bigots by pulling out and remaining silent. Imiagine where she would have been if she did that. Perhaps feeling suicidal. Nigeria came thru big on this.

Good morning house

Please how do I check CC eligibility without a hard search on my credit score?

Thanks

I've been told most students start with jobs like cleaning, care assistant, event assistants, kitchen porter, so that's all I've been doing too with different CVs tailored to the different roles.

Any word from you pls?

NewT123:
Please what is the best LISA provider to use for first time home buyer and is there a way to max out the 4k in a 12 month period and get government bonus twice in the 12month?

jedisco:
Cash or stock and shares LISA? Moneysaving expert has a good article on LISAs which is updated regularly.


Deposit before and after April 6.
But note some providers close deposits into investment accounts a few days before the end of the tax year

NewT123:
Thanks bro, please is Moneybox a good cash Lisa provider to use or I can use anyone?

jedisco:
I've used Moneybox cash LISA and had no issues with them.
Also used DODL S&S LISA. I'm mainly focused on the fees. Most providers would be FCA regulated and deposits upto 85k would be insured.

Finally, na u go decide

Please does anyone know how to import food items to the UK from Nigeria in commercial quantities? I will appreciate if anyone has a guide to share or point me to where I can find such information. Thank you.

There is a debate this afternoon in the House of Commons on an e-motion seeking to reduce the time that foreign healthcare workers in the UK have to wait to qualify for indefinite leave to remain (ILR)from five years to two years:

https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cdp-2024-0150/

@Jedisco, it's not too late to lobby your MP to support this motion if you haven't already.

jedisco:
Though happy to be proved wrong, I can guestimate how this would end. I'm expecting some virtue signalling detailing all the pros of 'integration' when the real reason is more visa fee and the leverage it affords the government.

BTW, I signed the petition a long time ago and received a notification of the debate.
The reality is that the time to ILR is more likely to be increased to 7 years than be reduced to 2 yrs. All you need is a few media articles and a new Suellet chorusing how a rising number of these imigrant medics are planning on japa 2.0.

On a personal note, I'm not bothered- counting days to be a British compatriot

Zahra29:
Lol, what about the many others who still have years to go.

They won't increase it to 7 years but they won't reduce it to 2 years either. Even Labour MPs would agree with the Suellas on the flight risk from the care sector.
