We all know the truth but we always want to be politically correct or justify bad stuff to prove points forgetting that large scale of anyhowness by Nigerians sometimes. Lots of people outsourced school stuff, some did not even come to class etc

I mean, look at the nonsense in the screenshot shared. We can start from unnecessary cho cho cho and its why the ones in Canada were vehemently against that Doc on Twitter some days ago.

No but this isn’t how it works in reality.

When stereotypes are allowed to grow they affect everyone in the community regardless of whether they are actually that thing or not.

The way the average Nigerian is viewed directly impacts EVERY Nigerian regardless of whether they are ‘better’ or ‘worse’ than that average. That’s why people from certain communities still face huge prejudice even when they are very obviously extremely more intelligent, successful etc than the generality of people in the country whether black or white etc, while people from certain other groups are presumed to be smart just based on the community they belong to.

So if you allow the narrative of the Average Nigerian being a riff-raff and a cheat to become entrenched and say nothing because it doesn’t apply to you, you’ll very likely still feel the impact because e.g when you apply for a role and the people there have that impression about Nigerians as a whole.

It’s not everything in life that you will have the opportunity to show that you’re different before being judged.

You know the funny thing

We are saying the same thing

My angle is, part of making sure that our collective reputation dont get soiled IS calling riff raffs out in our midst AT EVERY GIVEN TURN

That way, the wider community knows that whoever did the "crime" did it on his own, and it is NOT a community sanctioned behaviour

If Muslims were more vocal about the wave of terrorism their bad faith actors were doing, they probably wont be in the reputational mess they are in

In Mexico, the cartel lifestyle is glorified and voices calling it out is not loud enough (though I understand this because cartels can kill)

If we keep keeping mute because "e no concern me"
When e burst, everyone go hear am

I remenber having a discussion with a black Brit and he hilariously told me that part of the reason why IT SEEMS that the white community has less issues IS because.....

THEY ARE SNITCHES
they will cast their papa, mama, kid, anybody
That's what he believes and in a way, I have seen this manifest
This is not to say awon fun fun are saints, but its something we can learn from them

When Hushpuppi was still out for example
And he was doing his insta live, go look at the comment section and see the praises and peolle saying they wanna be like him, and let him bless them

If you are a non Nigerian, and you stumble on this, wont it form your views in a way about Nigerians?
there is a reason a Chinese person will shout Allah akhbar and people will chuckle, but when a bearded Arab/South Asian do SAME, people will scamper

Goodenoch:
No, you and I are not saying the same thing.

You labeled people who came in as care workers from Nigeria and people who 'ran masters package sha' (whatever that means), as riff-raff. Now you're equating that with cartels and terrorism? Come on man.

The whole snitching thing is more selection bias with no grounding in fact and I cannot engage that because it'll boil down to an anecdote vs anecdote situation which can never be resolved. I mean this is the country of erstwhile Prince Andrew, lol.

I am happy to see this argument. I remembered when we were here celebrating the MAC report because it said we made more contribution to the economy than Brits – we need to do better as a people in understanding how these British folks operate. Now we are seeing the true agenda of that MAC report. It was to set the tone for successive punitive policies.

If we had majority of our grads going on to set up businesses, create products, create jobs, or get high level paying roles, the discussion today would have been different. Imagine that we even had more of our grad leaving the UK to become highfliers elsewhere, the UK would have created a similar youth visa scheme like India for our grads. Today, I am happy to see interest in the Innovator Visa but again I must advice that we apply wisdom. That route will become another scam when they start moving the goal post. Tomorrow they can come up with policies advising that your business must have met certain thresholds (revenue, staff/employee numbers, etc. to qualify you for settlement). Applying is not the problem, generating growth is.

Imagine someone in their mid 40’s coming into the UK with HCA visa in 2022 and having to spend 16+x years to become a British Citizen. My statistical analysis on the demography of folks (adults>=18years) who came in between 2022 and 2024 using my UK location as case study (N=400+) shows an average age in the range 38-42. More than half came in with their families. How then do they process the fact that due to yesterday’s policy, they may have to see their dream of becoming settled move from 2027-2029 to 2037-2039?

I worked as a freelance writer many years ago. I know as a matter of ‘fact’ that the vast majority of clients seeking people to help them write assignments were not Nigerians. Most were American, UK etc.

The BBC report shows that and if you check the websites of the essay writing companies as well it’ll be very obvious who their target market is.

Lots of rubbish like that abound in the NIUK community and its sad, really.

I mean look at this - how does it contribute anything meaningful to reasonable discourse?

A quick one
If you know you have never contributed positively to this forum, I mean, gave out vital tips or info that could help Boris wave set of immigrants, COS groups etc
But all of sudden have decided to disturb this peaceful forum with riff-raff brouh haha

Please just maintain your ghost mode reading, we don't need to be reminded that the UK government and people like YOU want us to be sent back home. Stop disguising with the use of big grammar pointing out people driving with expired MOT, blah blah... they are not worthy to be in YOUR UK country.

It's only COS seekers that commits that offence? How did you even conclude at this? Perhaps you visited the entire prisons in the UK and saw only COS seekers as prisoners (Nigerians and Indians).
Yes, the country should have been free of offences and crime if not the COS seekers causing nuisance everywhere even at the bus stops.

No worries, it's a matter of time.... you can never be more British than us,
Today they want to revoke ILR holders, tomorrow they would wish to apply the same with passport holders then in the future they revoke immigrants of 3 generations backward - their great granny arrived in the UK

You speak english grammar tire when e go touch everyone, you think you and your kids have succeeded baa?
Ask Nigeria how bokoharam, fulani herdsmen and bandits started spreading... from core north to now every geopolitical region...
Everyone dey collect...

Congrats to those of us that made it here,
Whether by merit, system error or by trial you foresaw what was coming and you escaped that country Nigeria.

Don't let people discourage you, be optimistic and positive
Again stay away from crime!

Raalsalghul:
This at the bolded.

Reminds me of Martin Niemöller's quote;

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

There were posts and rants on NL here about ppl who did assignments , thesis for students in UK. One outsourcer was even complaining that his first client wanted a cut from the new recruit she brought for him.

It was obvious, when I saw posts here about students doing more than 40hrs I knew it wasn't possible if they actually did their study themselves.

True though, we dey cap nonsense sometimes that's why I don't blame Oga Rodgers with him 'riff raff' talk.

See the below I saw recently in Facebook subtly encouraging people to apply for Asylum.

That’s the Uk for you, changing rules in the middle of the game. The man took the best decision to leave especially now that 15 yrs ilr is looming! At least he has contributed his own quota to reducing net migration

The time to act is when the shadow of desecration falls upon a community that is not your own, not when the storm of chaos finally breaks down your door.

The importance of proactive intervention and solidarity cannot be overemphasized.

..And thats all they want to hear.

The complaints im seeing now centre around why lots of British citizens are among those leaving

These brexit voting anti-immigration bigots flee UK for a ‘better life’ - I say no!!Don’t give these ‘economic immigrants’ a single visa to steal jobs, take homes & be a burden on infrastructure of other countries.

I've always wondered why we place an undue significance on what every loner says about us.

You don't need to be British in everyones eyes in thesame way you don't need to convert your neighbour before you can practice your religion.

If advocating for a better Nigeria makes one have inferior complex then im happy with it. You are what we call petit bourgeoisie and sooner or later you will be exposed 🤡
