Help me tell them ohh. Because it didn't work for one doesn't mean it won't work for another.

Is it thesame UK that Nigerians are buying houses here and there? I attended at least 8 housewarming ceremonies before I left UK for Canada within a span of 2 years.

This isn’t true

Even uk politicians attest to it the natives living in England

You can’t deny the truth and even if you are slave to the hosts of a country

The more you think you know , the less you actually know

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.
I have no business with whatever you're saying about COS and the venting in your long write up. The policy was what I addressed, not even the Labour Party as a political party. A seeming left-wing party can come up with right-wing policies, that's for those who understand politics.

If you have any grievance, direct it to those involved in the COS scam, but this one isn't something that concerns Nigerians or Africans alone.

Not everything is about shouting "Nigerians" up and down. Rest abeg! 😒

How many people have you seen pour 200k GBP to buy house at once? The fact that you can pay the deposit and show a statement to proof that you can afford the mortgage shows that you are doing well. At least doing well than those sharing apartment that can't even afford a common rent for 2 bed flat.

In one of your posts, you even claim that if you have 50m NGN, you wouldn't travel. If i am not miscalculating, that's less than 25k GBP. Are you saying people working in UK can't save this in 2 years because I saved more than that in 2yrs when I was there.
Re: UK Removes Over 100 Occupations From Skilled Worker Visa List by Donake: 3:18pm On Aug 31, 2025
Next election igbos shouldn't vote at all and Nigeria is going to be great? Alright you will learn and pass it unto generations here as well. Don't make plans to leave. It's better they are in a place they have opportunities than at home where they are worse slaves. [i][/i]

All you Nigerians who left to the uk the last 6!6 years are just too funny

Mortgqge thqt even in the next 35 years you are still battling it

Meanwhile in that same 35 years time frame go and see the professionals you left behind in Nigeria go and ask them how many houses they have built by then and how much it’s worth

I don’t know some of you are just too funny

Mortgage equals house warming

Professionals that are stealing and racketeering?

I have lived both lives and I prefer the UK own because at least it's my hard work I am living off

Not like those I left behind that are doing sharp practices and racketeering to earn money above their pay grade and then "investing"

We know the gimmick

Relax brother, house warming is a nigeria thing. Don't take life too serious. Its just a way to chill with friends in the new apartment. I have just got my first house in Canada. If i pay for it for the next 35 years, its my choice. By the special grace of God, I will complete the payment. Besides, houses wey i get for Nigeria, tenants no gree pay rent so this Nigeria investment you are talking about isnt big as you think.

Na wha o. To think 25k in 2 years to save for you isnt surprising but to think no one can do that is beyond my comprehension. As a matter of fact, when I was in UK, I save 1k monthly in a separate account. Accumulation of that in 2years with what I have in my other account was more than 25k.

UK is 1000% better than Lagos and Nigeria in everything, your country should start with making good roads and social amenities before talking gibberish, below is the M6 motorway from Midland up to the Scottish border, well, Nigeria should attempt one from Lagos to Abuja to Sokoto before anyone can take her seriously.

What is your definition of making it super big? (The Nigerians there have jobs, 24hours electricity, no hunger, running water, good roads and health care).How much tax have you paid in Nigeria and what did you get in return? Their living standards is maintained with taxes collected, seem you are one of those Nigerians that believes government are money magicians.

Blur all this confidential info and send the screenshot of the £25k you saved in 2 years in the uk . No need for all this unnecessary story

And why did you leave if you saved £25k in 2 years , in 5 years you could have saved £100k

See, there are levels to this thing. Different people traveled abroad. Bankers, IT professionals, Doctors, jobless people, lowly paid people. Like I said, we are not thesame. The problem with some japa people is that once they get aboraod, they believe every black they see on the street belong to their class. 100k USD or GBP is less than 250m. I am worth more than that atm.

This is less about immigration and more about late-stage capitalism. And the UK probably feels it worse than a lot of developed countries because they've had conservative government for so long. Salaries are truly bad in the UK. And when you combine that with offshoring and bringing in immigrants to lower salaries... it's a mess.

Nigerians have nothing to do with this. It's the Indians. The UK has like 70M people. India has like 1.5B. Also, Indians think scamming and cheating is something to be proud of.

Okay sir , I have heard you Mr uk has free healthcare Nigeria doesn’t

Just pray God gives you good health and your kidney doesn’t fail that’s when you will know that NHS isn’t free and free death awaits you free of charge

Also what’s the point of the good roads when you can barely drive on them due to the numerous costs of driving in the uk (MOT, insurance , finance )

Some of you uk folks are living in a bubble and in the coming years we would always be here to remind you

Salty much? I pointed out that the recent immigration control is context-driven which is premised on voters concerns, national identity, economic realities and electoral competition rather than traditional right wing ideology but you instead threw tantrums over a post that's not an attack on your stance. But yh teach me politics, professor. And no, I don't have any grievances with anybody involved in COS scams.

Extremely stingy. I asked my guy over there to make a payment on my behalf in dollar, the guy start calculating it exchange rate not to even lose one dime to me before he did the payment and said I had to make the exact payment to his naira account before he could make the payment on my behalf. It shocked me.
