I talk am say na Oju Aye dem dey do.

Desperately trying to prove to the world that you are still an empire. Giving international aid when you can’t provide heating to the elderly at home.

That international aid is what gives them leverage, international goodwill, and a continuous inflow of foreign investments; without that, they can't even provide the heating to the elderly you're talking about. The UK does not have enough resources on its own to take care of its people; know this and know peace!

Gerrard59:
One thing though, I am glad Labour is at the forefront of these new anti-immigration policies, else we would have been told na only conservative parties dey anti-immigration. Chai! It is always good to understand humans' behaviour from basic economics, biology and psychology so one plans ahead.

Great point.

Gerrard59:
I have no dog in this fight, but the bold is fair and normal in most countries with a high number of international students.

Did you say fair & Normal?
As an international student, I paid £23,000:00 per session while my classmates, home students paid £9,000.

That ‘fair & normal’ was already factored in.
The proposed 6% by this useless Labour government is ON TOP of the ‘fair & normal’.
Sad!

The US / Australia / Canada on the other hand gives legal immigrants giant wings to fly on, multiple pathways to citizenship and high paying jobs that can help you get to your desired financial goals quicker. This is even apart from the plethora of scholarships available for high soaring academics or those willing to put in work.

Bros, wake up and smell the roses.
US: right now, even tougher on immigration than the UK.

Canada: meh… job market for newcomers isn’t great.

Australia: no idea personally, but too far from Naija for me anyway.

Bottom line: immigrants are running out of options!

saw it on the BBC, but I couldn't watch it for long as it was too distasteful, real bullshit! Just hoping later we won't begin to hear they are being persecuted to please foreigners over citizens!

Tougher on illegal immigrants

I assume it includes holders of H1B1 visas? Anyway to each his own. No need to argue

Not just that.

Most of them are brought on humanitarian or asylum visas are immediately settle on benefits as they do have a strong grasps of the language or market skill set.

Rather than Zia Yusuf to call out his people, he would rather create the impression that migrants in general are benefit scroungers.

Someone who supports women wearing burqa, claim recent migrants are unitegrated and benefits scroungers?

Is any of the burqa wearing women he supports integrated or working ?

In addition both Ukrainian refugees and hongkong refugees are all exempted from the new rules, groups that are also on benefits. But it’s hardworking migrants with no recourse to benefits they will still lump up with others to tell the entire world that they are all on benefits while some groups actually on benefits will continue to have them. This is how they continue to sacrifice law abiding and tax paying migrants to please a racial minority as Hustla puts it.

The H1B has always been exploited and needed some form of revamp at a point. Its even worse than what UK has as its "ballot" based.

At least, while on H1B, you can earn $200K (before you earn £160K in the UK, you go see wennn) without having to be in healthcare while the UK shits on you as you collect your 2 portion peanuts... plus you can choose other immigration options without breaking a sweat like marriage --> GC ---> military (with benefits) and then citizenship. The EB2/EB2/O1 requirements are also "easier" to meet than UK's global talent where they pretend to want talented individuals but tie it to having worked in "product led" kinikan.

Canada & AU both offer PR from the scratch if you are skilled while there is no way to get this in the UK (correct me if im wrong). If you are skilled in both countries, you will likely eat good although I admit Canada's job market is not so good except for maybe IT and healthcare.

The truth of the matter if that its the illegal immigrants who get to enjoy the bulk of what the UK has to offer from Day 1 and that is why it is being exploited. Healthcare, housing, translators, benefits, hotels, no council tax etc while students / skilled workers are berated daily.

Waiting for them to implement their 10 year route stuff in totality although I suspect it will be the same as before but with plenty English

😂 very annoying thing, the uk global talent visa looks like the O1 visa for the US ( I even feel that’s where the uk copied it from), which also enables many highly skilled workers to enter the US legally across a far wider range of disciplines, if the uk global talent was not limited to that product led thing so many folks on skilled worker visa will be able to switch and not get stranded when they are laid off by employers.

My two cents to anyone in the Uk, if you know you have skills and experience that will qualify you for some visa categories in the US, Canada or Australia stop deceiving yourself and explore such opportunities as those countries still gives you a chance to either get permanent residency from the start or pathways to permanent residency asap. All these talk of it’s not greener at the other side are just flimsy excuses cos it’s not worth it risking your legal residency and that of your family at the mercy of those who will prioritise refugees and illegal migrants over you. The Uk is a good starting place for people but many don’t make it to the finish line. Save yourself first before thinking about what others say.

the whole we be world citizen na nonsense. Hopping from one country to another looking for best life isn’t sustainable. If you continue running one day there will be null option left but to look back and head home.

Some will say they are doing it for their kids whom most of the time won’t care about you as soon as they are on their own.

If you can japa pls do but it’s not sustainable and it’s becoming a lot difficult. Even Au have their own far right advocating for their country back.

You want the UK to give you soft landing and fast path to citizenship ke? How naw?? When you are the reason they left the EU, why housing costs have gone up and they cant get NHS appointments?

Let us focus please!

It is indeed a starting point for lots of people. My housemate, a staunch UK supporter and lover had to leave for the US 2 weeks to his UK post study ending. He has married now, gotten a well paying tech job and is heading towards PR while we are still here debating 10 year routes and if immigrants should get citizenship in 100 or 200 years

The Job market the state are not looking great either.

ADP report: Number of U.S. jobs created in September -32,000

The same kids will blame you if you do not do it for them (I know cos I blamed my parents for not leaving when they had the chance to)

Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it btw. As for me, I must collect one pali before heading back home. Hell, I might even decide Nigeria is not worth it and instead head to Portugal, Mauritius or Namibia.
Kids can always be sent home to attend secondary sch and maybe Uni so they do not lose connection to their roots.

Look at the state of Nigeria, does it look like a country that knows where it's going? I mean, look at the Arise TV news lady that died some days ago, service users and dogs get better treatment here.

Make we no whine each other please

😂 the UK has never been a soft landing place even before Brexit, as a matter of fact it was after Brexit the UK looked like a soft landing place due to generous wave of student and care visas. Ask lots of immigrant doctors, nurses and other professionals in North America of many years you will be shocked with the number of those who started from the uk so it’s nothing new or strange at all. The Uk just knows how to lower the bar of entry when they feel like compared to other countries. But strategically if you’re highly skilled you should aim for countries with quicker route to permanent residency of which the Uk has never been an option, it’s more like a place of temporary refuge 😂 unless you’re just fortunate enough to get settled after a long while. It is what it is.

Hongkongers are not refugees - they are British Nationals Overseas/ British subjects and have connections/rights to the UK, which is why they are also exempt from the proposed settlement policy changes.

Hongkongers also tend to be very well educated and high earners compared to the average, and do not have access to benefits.

Can you ever make a post without lacing it with going back home? You're now sounding stale and monotonous. You need self reflection trust me.

To counter the narrative that the government is only clamping down on legal migration while ignoring/condoning illegal migration.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/oct/01/starmer-to-end-asylum-golden-ticket-of-resettlement-and-family-reunion-rights

People granted asylum will no longer be given “the golden ticket” of resettlement and family reunion rights, Keir Starmer said, amid deepening concerns from charities that his words are demonising refugees...

No 10 outlined plans to strip successful claimants of the right to automatically invite spouses and children to join them...

The new policies are meant to ensure that people who have been granted asylum will receive less protection than they currently receive, a government source said."

Proposed changes later this year to Article 3 and Article 8 of the ECHR will make it harder for asylum seekers to win their appeals in court, and allow the government enforce removals to their home countries.

What you can and cannot do
You can:
• work (except you cannot work as a professional sportsperson or sports coach)
• study (including at school, college or university)
You cannot usually get most benefits (public funds).
Once you have a BNO visa, you might be able to get access to benefits. You'll be eligible for this in certain financial circumstances, for example if you:
• do not have a place to live and cannot afford one
• have a place to live but cannot afford essential living costs like food or heating
• are at risk of losing your place to live or being unable to afford essential living costs

No need for confusion compared to those on visas like skilled workers and student visas, those on bno visas, family visas and private life can apply to get the NRPF conditions lifted unlike others. That’s a clear seperation
