Nawa for BBC! How can you mention Rachel Reeves without introducing her? I didn't expect this from a big name in journalism. People who make key government decisions like PM Keir Starmer are taking steps to reduce UK immigration and this woman is going about deceiving herself.

budaatum:
You don't seem aware that immigrants have been kings of England. So be educated.

Pootle:
you see that europe in couple of years from now the main europeans go be minority, even by bro and friends don born there pikin don be citizen and the pace at with indians and arabs they move there in throve is crazily alarming. my people don benefit from that porous allowance but i feel for the real Britons, because if na naija me no go gree o

No matter! That really is not the issue here., See, Trump tells the bitter truth in this matter.

Scarrr:
so let's assume every countries close their borders like some of u without hope of traveling anywhere or leaving your village wish, Britain for British, USA for Americans, Nigeria for Nigerians etc...so what's next? everybody will just remain rigid wherever they are?

zoedew:
You miss the point. That is not the issue here. Please read between the lines and listen very closely to President Trump's address to the UNO on this matter .

budaatum:
Dump tells the bitter truth to you. As for me, everything dump says is a lie. If he tells me the blue sky is blue, I will immediately go out to check it's not red.

I live in London where I was born and belong, and I welcome anyone who wants to migrate here, especially Nigerians, because it's like migrating to come school. After school, you can take your learning back home to make Nigeria like where you migrated to if you wish

It's like we needed to leave my home town to go modern school in the neighbouring town, and go secondary school in Ilesa and to Ibadan or abroad for uni. It would be rather dumb to be told to stay in my village and not go seek learning elsewhere, and it would be dumber of me to heed such advice.

budaatum:
I would say no, I will not listen to dump's "address to the UNO", but I unfortunately heard his entire speech like 3 times because I have C-Span running through the night.

What dump said at the UN is similar to what was said in Rwanda that made the Hutu and Tutsi kill each other, and if he was talking in Nigeria, we'd have religious and tribal wars.

Julius1995:
In quote "talents"
Talents like Nikolay Storonsky and Vlad Yatsenko that can found $75 billion company. You think Keir Starmer has problem with such immigrants. Even Trump and MAGAs do not. One: they are Europeans, they dont even need VISAs to enter. Two: The issue of race or religion. Trump once said he will prefer migrants from countries like Norway, not "shithole countries". These people actually know what they are doing.

zoedew:
Your opinion is well taken. However, it misses my point. My point is the preservation of the values, mores and ethos of a given environment and ensuring they do not go under in the face of the migratory. Taking things further, it is not hidden that the major reason Nigerians are migrating elsewhere is to flee bad governance. My view is that migrating elsewhere rather than dealing with bad governance is escapist and will not in the long run turn out well for everyone. For instance, when London gets over congested and public services and infrastructure overburdened you will no longer enjoy living in there. The quality of life will drop and the famous rats of London should soon be back!

budaatum:
The bold first. I can't ask any Nigerian to sacrifice themselves for Nigeria.

Three times I shipped books to the local government library in my community that had fewer books than I had on my shelves in my home. My people looked at me like I was giving them poison, and told me to just bring the money and give them let them eat. Thankfully, some in the community appreciated it, and now years later talk about how those books helped them with their education. Me? I nearly died, if not for the wonderful UK National Health Service.

London will not get overburdened because it plans for future growth. The current concern is the population falling, hence immigrants welcome, to grow needed tax revenue and GDP so we are not overburdened with debt.

Even Japan needs immigrants, note, though their people resent it.

Neo-black Problem: Must Blacks Be Ruled by Whites in Order to Prosper?

In short, the neo-black dilemma may be framed as follows: is it better to live under white rule without political dignity but with basic life-sustaining standards for many;

or to live under black rule with illusory political dignity and without basic life- sustaining standards for the majority?

The path forward for Africa lies in cultivating higher and adequate levels of personal and communal agential integrity as well as full personal responsibility and productivity. Not to mention creativity (including epistemic creativity), productive justice (such as merit and freedom), harmony and reconciliation at local and international levels, and a proper domestication of capitalism and other related values and institutions.

Africa must stop wasting her time on dreams of socialism because it is a system of wealth distribution primarily. Whereas, capitalism is a system of wealth creation primarily, and wealth has to be produced before it can be distributed.

Dis is why Nigeria should regulate migration.... They'll take our best brains because we ain't using them... D ones we are using we ain't paying them.... The ones getting paid can't sleep well at Night.....

Dalohad:
Have you made your country better by supporting corrupt kleptomaniacs who have made the country unworkable?

I am a health professional and I advise every health professional to leave this country if they can..

The politicians you support also to those advanced countries and have Nigerian Health Professionals take care of them.

We will go there and wait for them.

zoedew:
Can you sacrifice yourself for Britain? Anyway, I comprehend your mindset.

I wish I could believe this news article that the UK is open to top talent. Before you put your money on going to the UK, consider those who are already there. propaganda.

budaatum:
I don't need to sacrifice myself for any country, and Britain does not require me to, as they reward me handsomely for whatever work I do.

We say, "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages", so it is in my interest to love myself more than I love any country.

Mountbatten:
'Top talent' don’t want to work or live in the UK. Maybe third-world immigrants like Nigeria would find it appealing, but for tech professionals, the UK isn’t a great place for growth. Limited opportunities.

Santalpharay:
And NIgeria should regulate migration even though they are not using their talents. The ones they are using, they are not paying them well. All of them came from your comment.

Judolisco:
yes, my comment is a wake up call.... If we keep doing this and we don't change... Then Africa will remain the same way it is for years to come

budaatum:
The problem is not that they are taking, but that we are going.

It's like you work for someone who pays you like 100k a day, and someone comes to offer you 200k a day to leave there and work for them instead. Now imagine your government says you can't change jobs for whatever reason. I bet you'd find a way to smuggle yourself to the better pay.

You after all don't work for the benefit of Africa, but for your own benefit. No?

Judolisco:
I said it should be regulated, and followed it up by saying the government should treat workers better.... If the continent is good we won't be leaving it in droves... D issue is we don't realise dis Europeans are using us for their benefits.....

D UK started suddenly allowing us into their country after covid19, they lost a lot of people.... They saw that they didn't have enough manpower.... Another reason is because Africas weren't affected that much by covid19 and they saw the need for herd immunity, let this people come into our country maybe they'll be able to shield us if there's another pandemic

We need to wake up

Judolisco:
are your brothers and sisters not the kleptomeniacs? U people talk as if we import leaders from abroad... No be your family members dey rule us since 1960?no be ur family members be local government chairman, permanent secretary, police, principal for school... If Nigeria go change e go start from me and you.... U sef fit be leader 2mrw... D question is what will u do?

Dalohad:
Oga none of my family members are in politics. Stop being pedestrian..

If your politicians change, there will be no mistrust.

Oil wealth is already being looted by your politicians since 1960, we are not adding our taxes to that.

Say what you know. Uk is the only country out side US and China that have trillion dollars Tech ecosystem, simple google search will help you. There is a reason why all fortune 500 companies have presence in the UK. Also did you know why London and
New York are considered as the Financial capitas of the world? Simple Googlesearch will also help you. Back to the UK Global Talent Visa, Nigeria is actually the 4th highest recipients. Google it, India is 1st, USA is second and China 3rd. You just judge powerhouse UK with people you know doing just Care work, which is not bad as well. Always get fact before talking in public.There is also reason you have over 1m USA experts working in the Uk, experts i said.
