Imagine. You're trying to stuff out life of those that migrated legally to your country and trying to extend their stay legally but welcoming those coming illegally through the sea with open arm. If not because of the useless Africans especially Nigerian scamming people with offer of COS and those with uncontrolled mouth diarrhea spewing rubbish on social media on immigration route and so on, the British govt would not have been too harsh on immigrants like what we are facing now.
..that is why we Nigerians and government should make our country better and good and developed.. government to provide good governance and better life for Nigerians ..and all this japa to UK for greener pastures will reduce and stop and all this insults, embarrassment deportation at UK and other foreign countries abroad will reduce and stop..God has blessed Nigeria with crude oil, gas, mineral resources, oil wells, good weather, gold, fertile land for agriculture inorder for Nigerians and government to make this country better and good and well developed than UK and other foreign countries Nigerians rush to and japa to for greener pastures

He is right about the shared apartments argument , humans beings can’t be living in small cubicles with other strangers in the name of affordable rent

If it’s working for you fine , the general view is the uk is finished , even uk politicians say it everyday and the cost of living in the uk is evident to all to see

The only people I blame is those who sold all thier generational wealth and ran to the uk in the last 6 years

The ones I don’t blame are the ones who without them leaving Nigeria to the uk they won’t have become anything in life


But to say uk is a country with more opportunities than Canada and us you are just wasting ur time bro

This has nothing to do with Africans or Nigerians. This is a right wing policy that aims to reduce migration of professionals and prioritise British citizens.

Very soon, the same professions they listed as ineligible might be eligible again, when they realize they still have shortage of workers. The UK is always going back and forth on these things...

Seriously it's strange to me

How many years do we have to live that some people sacrifice it for Forex and never really enjoy life. You can't live life the way you will in your country.
They just Work, work , work as if that's all there is.

I had colleagues that resigned, used their savings, sold properties all just to Japa for job that shouldn't be befitting. You see them serving in eateries, being drivers, or washing toilet and old people bum. After having B.sc, Some M.sc and even chartered accountants oo.

When some of us that stayed back have grown and have our own 'abroad' in Nigeria.

Official vehicle, personal driver, investment, and how about the social life that seems non existent there.

I travel sometimes just to go see my people there.

Are people not living worse, in face-me-I-slap-you rooms in Nigeria with little or no basics?

Are politicians in Canada and US not also complaining about their economy and immigration policies?

I am very qualified in the field of Clinical Child Psychology to the level I can still get job offers in the US, Canada and Australia, if I am interested and apply but the UK ticks more for me in terms of professional growth and family life, reason I am comfortable with my life, working and living in London.

Canada and the US can be it for others but not for me.

This actually has nothing to do with right wing policy. The Labour Party is not right wing but currently, tension is very high in the UK regarding immigration. There's been a lot of protest in recent days and more to come, by people clamouring for immigration to be controlled, especially illegal migrants who come to the UK by dinghy boats through France. UK is really struggling at the moment - there's high unemployment, low growth, housing is scarce, national infrastructures like NHS etc are overstretched, people are losing their jobs, the country is broke but the migrants coming in illegally by boats are being housed in hotels because by ECHR laws, the UK have to cater for them and these guys are in their tens of thousands.

If the Labour government don't draw up drastic measures to reduce immigration, they risk losing to a right wing party like Reform Party which has recently been gaining traction and popularity.

On a side note - If you think these Nigerian COS scammers are making money by selling COS (real or fake). Think again - The real guys making money from this system are the gangs operating on human trafficking model, collecting thousands of 💷💰 from each illegal migrants that get transported by boat to the South Coast of the UK. It's a huge business for them and they don't even live in the country.

100% for real. Ask anyone living in Uk 🇬🇧. The Police don advice the naija women before to dey resolve matters with the husbands because such matters full their hands and majority na naija women, before they pass that law. If your husband brings you in Uk, stay with am, if you leave am, then you go return wey you being dey before, find another visa come back Uk 🇬🇧, no be that man own you go dey who the give am wahala.

For real o. Only for U.S, Canada and other European countries, Uk don stop am.

Eniitankorede:
It is a racist xenophobic agenda. Ordinarily no foreigner will get a job if an equally qualified British white man applies for same job. I am 99% sure of that. The only 1% situation is when the employer wants to pay lower wages which a British would not accept, or where the employer prefers black man for their hard work and dedication.
