Joke is on you @Goke7 lol
Because like I have mentioned before

I am very passionate about this topic because I KNOW women who were burned in this web

There is no prize to be won, im just stating what I have seen and known

maybe in your spare time go to reddit and see for yourself what our Nigerian sisters are passing through with respect to this topic

That will be some education for you


I think we have both made our points (which to be honest is just banter with no effect because at d end of the day, Britain will do what Britain will do)

We can give it a rest now cheesy grin

Cheers 🍻
Are people not passing through such challenges regarding British rules, too, and Immigration as well as other countries' rules? Why does it become only a crime when it refers to Nigerian Immigration alone? Don't we read of complaints here on this thread about application processes and denials, too? Guy relax! What Madam Kemi was saying in that video has nothing to do with those sisters of yours who got burnt, even Madam Kemi doesn't give a damn about them too, and did not say whether she applied or not, so rest jor!

I actually wanted to say this earlier but just wanted to avoid the backlash of the victim tag, it’s obvious especially with the way the op was quickly dismissed from work and that’s the strategy now as any accusation is currently being linked to deportation as we continue to wallow in this anti immigrant sentiment and regime, I hear there are even plans now to empower the police to use their discretion to deport immigrants on the spot even for minor offences like driving cautions and so on. I think everyone on a visa should just be on guard, don’t drive without a full licence and avoid trouble as much as you can, if a child is becoming uncontrollable abeg do all you can to avoid issues with the govt ( if possible deport the child yourself back home instead of you being deported). We can say this is fear mongering but it’s really getting more hostile out there.
But they still drive without license. Get fake MOT.
Leave your people. When caught,they cry marginalisation and persecution.

Like I have told you
Let's give it a rest
U too rest

Just watch and see what happens in the next couple of months as the noose gets more and more tightened

Feel free to blame Aunty' Kemi as that happens grin

And no, the point u raised doesn't apply here because you cannot compare a straightforward process (Britain) with a convoluted one (Nigeria , India, et al)

Cheers

You want to offend the wealth and job creators. No sensible government will do that.

They will take their jobs elsewhere and that’s it your jobs gone.
They will take which jobs elsewhere?
lmaoooo

As they are here now, what good have they brought with their non dorm status?


This one is another discussion i go run my mouth on, but for now we will give it a rest

All assumptions, that's all. The UK ain't the only country protecting its borders! and no it's not a straightforward process as confirmed by others here!

You sound like the case of pass through the door and lock it permanently. Are you alright?

Don't be more British than the royal family.


Who are you in the equation of things to judge what they are currently doing.

You may be a second generation citizen. Your parents came in like these people.
Take it easy with that hatred. Its really strong.

Im not even a citizen
though im not in the corner most of our people are in immigration wise though, but not a citizen, just so you know
So that makes your point invalid

I hope to be one day, and unlike most Nigerians who are silly entitled, i know that citizenship, IF I get granted was not my right and NEVER my right

That's one

Two, coming from countries like Nigeria, India et al, where citizenship and residency and tribalism and caste system et al is the norm, we HAVE NO RIGHT OR BASIS to criticise the British govt for whatever they do in that regard

Its a take it or leave it situation

All that talk about "being more British than the royal family" is "lubbishh" talk (like anambra ppl will say lol)

You Nigerians should learn to look ar things objectively and dispassionate, not from the point of selfishness and what will I gain

And btw, I don't hate anybody

And to turn your question around, who are you guys to tell the British govt not to tighten the rules if they deem it fit to do so

Not happy or sad

Indifferent

One thing I hate is entitlement and that is what our people have been showing

Even tribalistic Yoruba ronu scum of the earth UK branch are crying foul because of what is about to hit them

When they are at the same time ronuing their fellow citizens back home

Everybody go collect se
it will go round

I don’t even understand how someone will drive without a license and MOT risking not only their lives alone but their immigration status. I saw a visa denial letter months ago posted on a WhatsApp group, even me will deny the visa sef 😂 the number of driving offences, not having MOT, and so on. mhen it was too much! It’s not even with all the anti immigration policies and rhetoric but with many driving offences, invalid MOT and insurance those are things that get all other innocent immigrants in the loop.

UK ILR and Citizenship application is not straightforward

Okay nau
Have a nice day lol

This topic pain you gan lol
We are not entitled to sheet
The earlier you lot realise it
the better for us all.

Anything we see over the next year and beyond, we take it like that, and if you don't like it, board the next flight to Nigeria where u are not subject to immigration rules

That's the country u can go back to even with expired passport lol grin cheesy

Nobody is talking about entitlement here but misinformation. You are the one sounding like someone pained reason you can’t focus on the main context. Naming and shaming doesn’t benefit anybody.

This Nigerian mentality to see others being conquered will only ruin us all and our children in the future. We can do better and should be better. No one wins any trophy seeing others being denied of any privileges reason this thread exist to inform everyone appropriately and to abide by the law wherever we found ourselves.

Are you not a Nigerian. Why the phrase You,Nigerians.

You just proved my point.

If they feel entitled, that between them and the British government. Wetin concern you or me. Let them sort out their ish

Did i mention yourba here?

You seem confused.
Take a breather.

You don't know if I am a citizen.

I don't care if you are a citizen
I didn't ask

Now you are going off track

You didn't mention Yourba ronu either

Apparently the example flew over your head

If they feel entitled, it's their own cup of tea

But as the British govt keep giving them woto woto, they should be taking it like that

Am not Una...I do not need to comment on post here i come here to learn how to survive in the uk of which that is what this thread is for. I have noticed that whenever there is a dig at immigrant you come here with your hypocritical Nationshaming dig at Nigerians ''to make Nigeria a better place''. I will speak for myself when i say whatever happens to Nigeria is Nigeria's business but you Nationshaming people here would be called out...If you do not see anything wrong in that Kemi's statement then its best you keep quiet and let those that are helping in the thread continue to do so...
Hehe... you dey vex oo.

The focus here is giving some a mirror so they can appreciate what drives their thought process. A good example is asking what if those returning decide to start developing from his/her home state? They'd sure chorus 'go back to your village'.

People don't think alike and I've found peace accepting it. That Nigeria needs to be rebuilt does not mean a we'd line up behind a rat to do so.

Not very often do I watch a longform video. Medhi is good at his job though but the kind of ideas gaining ground are troubling.

Elders, How did you cope while waiting for your security clearance? I have a conditional offer with the civil service pending the outcome of my SC application. We have declared everything (loans, credit cards, car finance, mortgage, etc.), and we are trusting God for a positive outcome. I am just curious, for elders that went through this process, what was your experience like?
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by bigtt76(f): 2:36pm On Jul 24, 2025
SC is not for the faint hearted during the wait period but rest assured you will get an all clear. They are probably on their way to visiting your village and all the places you lived previously back home cheesy

I have a senior colleague who got an offer in February this year, and until May, before the SC was clear and complete. When I did mine like two or three years ago, it took like 6 months, though I have been working for the organisation that did it, so it was not a new job offer thing. Currently, I hear there's a temporary pause on high-level vetting requests like SC because of a system scheduled upgrade, resulting in a shutdown of their operations till mid-August (privileged information), so take a chill and keep praying for a speed-up of your application. Cheers!
