Just remembered that they also get one car loan / subsidized car loan stuff.

One of our ex-residents pulled up in a Benz wearing Gucci and a £3K watch and me still dey find school fees



Out of curiosity, how will the digital ID help curb stuff like this? It seems the UK gov will go ahead with implementing the digital ID stuff despite pushback

It will help identify those who are gaming the system and using multiple identities for claims. Some are even claiming number of children that don’t exist anywhere

[quote author=bigtt76 post=137249666]Have you tried the contactless option?


I picked the option of physical appointment because I live in London, can it still be changed please?

Thank you for this, I understand all though and I have seen folks who spurn promotions just to maintain the benefits. The politicians however are not making this clear to their constituents, rather they are making it look as if the migrants would automatically stop working once they get their ILR (though I know they don't have the balls to say they are referring to the small boat guys). I doubt we have japa migrants getting some of these benefits, there may be though especially our people wey suddenly begin born as dem land 🤭😂

Zahra29:
Benefits/public funds are broader and more complex than what is being discussed on this thread.

For example, there are in-work benefits for those who are employed but on a low income and this includes financial support like housing benefit, universal credit and council tax reduction. Many people/families receive this type of financial support to "top-up" their earnings and many migrants on lower incomes will also require/be eligible for this.

There are other types of benefits such child benefit, child care funding etc - which can add up to hundreds of pounds a month- that the vast majority of working families also receive unless you're a very high earner.

Benefits go beyond the stereotypical "sit at home and claim job seekers allowance of £92 a week"

I see, I doubt if it can be changed cos it attracts a separate payment if eligible for that option. You can contact the support team on the NI website directly.

Welcome stuff then

Everybody knows that in the speeches by Farage, Badenough and their ilk attacking migrants and gradually turning 'Boriswave' into an epithet, the references to benefits are always said in the context of being on the dole - not contributing and only taking from the government. It's never about the other 'benefits' that are still available to working and reasonably earning families (which SW holders are, by default).


But hey, let the Ostriches keep their heads in the sand.

They actually made attempts, but always met with a huge backlash, hence a no-go area for now

Please my people, can I travel to the UK with Nigerian passport close to expiration (less than 6 months).
BA says it's no problem but I should confirm from the embassy.
I don't know if our Nigerians in the BA check in desk will not be overzealous and allow it fly

If it's a V V, the global aviation knowledge is that of more than 6 months before expiry.

Just pay for same day passport renewal, to avoid stories......

Even if they attach premium to the renewal, better than been declined boarding + heartache and stress (peace of mind is free).... 😂😊

For VV, I believe you are okay, provided you can prove you will be leaving the UK (or other golden destinations) before your passport expires. Schengen requires 3 months min. Then most third world requires 6 months min.

The stringent restrictions on passport validity comes up during Visa application but once you have a Visa, UK, US, CA and major destinations only require it valid through out your stay when on VV

Good day house. Does anyone know a cost effective way to send a laptop from UK to Nigeria please? Thanks!

Check all those local African shops.. they always have cargo connections

Hello everyone,
Please is it possible for someone that has a valid UK and US visa to come to first come to the UK from Nigeria and then travel to the US from UK. I am aware a return ticket is required for visitors visa's so not sure how to navigate this. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks

Interesting new tenancy laws - tenancy now "periodic" like in Scotland.

Great for renters

Should be possible if you have proof of onwards movement

On the day of travel, if you are denied boarding even with evidence of onward journey, you can book a return ticket (via booking.com, they have a 24hr full refund cancellation policy), on getting to UK, cancel the return ticket.

Thank you

Hi fellas,

I am looking at alternative network provider to my O2. It's currently looking like a waste of money

I commute Luton to London and I struggle to have good calls and internet service enroute my trip especially inside Thameslink.

I have a feeling there could be a better network I could try out there as I see people making successful calls/internet in the train and stations.

Be brave enough to ask them who their network provider is....... 😂🤔🤣

Yes
We all know what we, and they are doing

Lefty500:
The elites and the politicians know what they are doing. They don't want to be held responsible for bad decisions and failing infrastructures. So they pitch their people against the immigrants.

Initially, they said the immigrants are the ones taking your jobs, so their folks just relaxed and start claiming benefits.
Now the system is chocked.

Now, it is the immigrant that are taking the benefits. When it's written on their documents that they cannot have access to public fund.

It just baffles me how these politicians attack legal migrants and ignore the illegals one.

Illegal migrants dey enjoy pass legal ones.

I wish I could like your comment more.

Their politicians don't discuss how to solve the rising cost of living and poor infrastructure.

They only tell their foolish citizens that their problem is immigrants. Legal migrants suffer more than illegal migrants.

Hello everyone,

I just created this account following a friend’s advice because I’m really in a difficult situation and would appreciate any help or guidance.

I’ve been working in the UK as a care worker under the Skilled Worker (formerly Tier 2) visa route since January 2022. By January 2026, it will be four years of continuous work and I was looking forward to applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) by January 2027.

Unfortunately, my employer recently shut down the agency and informed us that they’ll be notifying the Home Office, which means I’ll soon lose my sponsorship. I’m extremely anxious because I’ve worked so hard over the years and don’t want everything I’ve gone through to be in vain.

If anyone here has contacts, recommendations, or leads to care agencies or employers currently offering Health and Care Worker visa sponsorships, please kindly reach out or share. I’d be deeply grateful for any assistance, advice, or even guidance on what steps I should take next.

Thank you so much in advance for your kindness and support

Have you looked in NHS Jobs or NHS Scotland Jobs? You might be lucky to get some GPs looking to employ your role. All the best

Also check to see what network type your mobile phone is connected to - 3G, 4G or 5G? It might also be good if you swap around these to see which gives you the best connectivity while on the move. In some areas, they have turned off 3G while in others 4G might be stronger than 5G. O2 also has coverage checker online, you can use that to check the best network in your area or during commute.

As you know the commute route, try using Opensignal. It is an app that lets you see the network coverage for different providers around the country. It also tells you the coverage type (4G, 5G...) and data speed

I see many ignorant Nigerians are celebrating this post from one of the dumbest president America has ever elected.

If America is allowed to attack BokoHaram and other militant groups in Nigeria then this is the start of our own Afghanistan, Iraq etc.

American military intervention in any country has never lead to peace, infact all the countries American troop went into is now in the hands of those they went to fight.

The little peace Nigerians enjoy now will be a distance memory if Trump is allowed to carry out this threat.

Trump does not care about Christians or peace in Nigeria, its all about the natural resource, Muslims are getting killed more than even Christian but he did not mention that., He wants to turn Nigeria to another Iraq in the name of fighting terrorist

Yea, the US notably doesn't go into a country in this way without pillaging and destabilizing it. The chief 'incursors' such as Barack Obama and Bush had a lot of such incursions to their record, which thankfully they can not wipe off, inasmuch as people exist that can still read history.

Knowing Trump, and the fact that he surprisingly/unsurprisingly has none to his record, I don't even see that happening. But if it were to happen, Nigeria shouldn't be rejoicing cos the US ain't a friend.
