Goke7: Yea i saw that interview, honestly i wasn't too surprised that some SA displayed that level of ignorant, they are not different from Tommy Robinson followers here who blame immigrants for their lazy backsides. The same way Trump supporters blame immigrants for lack of job opportunities and high crime rate, the clown sent ICE to deport thousands and now farmers and construction company owners are crying their eyes out. The UK universities are feeling the financial pain as a result Tory and Labour govt drastic immigration policies. By the end of this year care home agencies will be on their knees begging for workers. |

justwise:When decisions are emotionally driven that’s the result. They have all the data to make informed decisions but No they resort to listening to fables that will always come back to hurt them. I remember crying here on this thread that the data they were reeling out on the amount of students and care workers dependants was not telling the true story as everything was being lumped together and not clearly differentiated among all the visa categories! even visitors visas was being counted among increase in net migration; those who just come in and out of the country to make it look as if the country was invaded. Phew! Anything their eye see make them collect am like that! This is a report from the Russel group of schools saying how misleading some data on immigration are https://www.russellgroup.ac.uk/policy/policy-briefings/responding-home-offices-visa-brake-policy |

https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/eu-votes-rejected-asylum-seekers-5HjdX54_2/ Germany and a group of European countries are moving ahead with plans to deport rejected asylum seekers to holding centres outside the EU. These facilities are expected to be located mainly in African countries willing to host asylum seekers who cannot be returned to their home nations. ... The German-led coalition pushing the “return hubs” has not confirmed which countries will host them, but diplomats are pointing mainly to Africa. Uganda, Mauritania, and Benin are among the nations said to have shown interest. Unprecedented move by historically "left-wing" EU states. If this gets approved this year by the EU council, it will pile significant pressure on Starmer to reinstate the Rwanda deal or similar - given that "smash the gangs" is not working. |

Zahra29:Africa need to sit up. Why is America, Asia or other European countries not been considered as a dumping ground for these lots. This was how slave trade started because the leaders allowed it. If this goes through, a time will come when tales of how Africa was a dumping ground for unwanted people will be told just like tales of slave trade is been told now. |

Viruses:"Unwanted" is subjective - if the money is good , they pass a security and health check, why not? Rwanda smiled to the bank with £700m, that is more than 50% of the budgets some states. It's a win win for everyone |

Memorychip:They are unwanted by these EU countries hence they are being sent out. |

| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Zahra29: 10:50pm On Apr 01 |
Viruses:I think the African countries are betting on it being easy money and the asylum seekers not wanting to stay there , so they'll get paid to effectively act like a transport hub and the migrants will pass through as quickly as they can back to Europe or elsewhere. |

Kemi Badenoch praises Nigeria - specifically referencing the discipline in Nigeria as being more robust than the UK "Children smashing up shops in broad daylight, stealing and even filming themselves doing it as if it were a game, is a much bigger problem than is being recognised. This is a total collapse of consequences. To those making snide comments about race or black kids - you do not see scenes like this in Lagos or Nairobi. Not because the children there are different, but because actions have consequences. There are clear boundaries. Parents, communities, and the authorities do not wring their hands or look the other way. Here, we have created a culture where too many young people believe they can do what they like and nothing will happen. That is the problem" .... https://x.com/KemiBadenoch/status/2039346087916429676?s=20 Sounds like Auntie Kemi is telling it as it is |

Zahra29:I most certainly can't see any correlation between so-called "gentle parenting" and the feral children who fill the streets, no, not at all. |

Greetings everyone and happy new month. I recently used the NIS contactless service to renew my passport. I followed all the instructions and mailed the required documents via Royal Mail special delivery. I am quite surprised that for the past 2 days the tracking information states 'Delivered at Mount Pleasant Delivery Office' instead of the WC2N 5BX location. I tried calling Royal Mail customer service but it keeps going to an AI that is NOT helpful at all. I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced this. Regards and Happy Easter in advance. |

Cyberknight:Lol. I'm not much of a fan of gentle parenting ,or at least I think it is only effective on gentle children, not the ones who need an However in this case I think the fault lies equally with absent/lax government policies and policing. Many of the kids involved will be from strict African and Caribbean households and I'm sure they'd be in trouble if their parents knew what they were up to. However with parents at work and little fear of the authorities, (who are likely scared of being labelled racist if they are seen to be heavy handed with black kids), they are free to roam around and do as they please. |

Zahra29:Agree to a large extent with the bolded. Add in no fear of consequences to the mix. I'm no particular fan of the Nigerian (or the US) systems which mete out strict punishments across the board, but the truth is that there is a case for handing out stiff punishments for deterrence. Shoplifting and other so-called petty crimes are not victimless and it boils the blood when one sees the videos, photos or accounts of people just walking into shops and taking things off the shelves without paying and walking out again, with the narrative being that security and shop staff have been told not to intervene so they don't put themselves in harm's way, while the police don't bother to turn up, reinforcing the perception that sub-£200 thefts aren't enforced, which isn't what the law says. Hopefully Labour gets the Crime and Policing Bill through substantially unamended; it's a good step in the right direction. |

Good afternoon all. Please, can anyone let me know if it is normal have your passport application 'Delivered at Mount Pleasant Delivery Office' instead of the WC2N 5BX (Nigeria High Commission) location. Regards. EmmyKing86: |

Hi guys, Please how long does it take to renew Nigerian passport in uk using the NIS app? Will I still have to travel for physical biometrics in London if using the app? And how much does it take to complete the entire application process. What are the requirements as well please? |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by NewT123: 6:57pm On Apr 08 |
NewT123:Please guys any info on this please? It’s quite urgent . Thanks |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Nobody: 8:36pm On Apr 08 |
Using the NIS Mobile App in the UK, passport renewal takes approximately 3 to 4 weeks after the old passport is received by the High Commission. The app enables contactless, home-based biometric enrollment, meaning you do not have to travel to London. The process is for citizens aged 18-60 with less than 6 months validity remaining. NewT123:Key Details & Requirements No Physical Visit: Biometrics (facial and fingerprint) are taken directly in the app, eliminating in-person visits to the London office. Requirements: National Identification Number (NIN). Current passport (expiring within 6 months). A smartphone with a good camera (Android is currently fully supported; iOS is in development). Self-addressed courier envelope for returning the old passport and receiving the new one. Cost: The cost involves the official passport fee (variable based on booklet size) and an additional £74.99 for the contactless biometric service. Process: Install the "NIS Mobile" app, fill out the application, pay, perform contactless enrollment, and mail your current passport for cancellation |
