Hi guys, please, how does the new eVisa work? I am applying for a visiting visa for someone, and her passport was returned to her after her biometrics. How does she know if her eVisa has been approved? |

jedisco:It does not get media attention for obvious reasons… those media houses are owned by people who benefit from the corrupt system… tax havens within British territories are there for a reason.. pointing touch lights on those territories will paint a dark picture of what goes on regarding tax evasion. |

Goke7:Starmer is dodging bullets. Funny thing is that he appears to be a decent chap that tried to make some measured decisions but then, the people want radical change and change it would be. To me, Starmer had only one major job which he struggled at- which was to guide our recent entrants to ILR. BTW, what's the update with Mahmoods 10-30yr ILR bill? Seems suicide bombers in labour have halted her. Most of those MPs know they're going down- they might as well cause wahala. Seems Aunty K is still missing from the dance floor. With the poor performance by Labour, one would have expected her popularity to increase but she's still not part of the equation. |

jedisco:The PM is not a politician that’s the problem so he doesn’t understand the maintenance of a political base he’s just pandering to everyone and everything 😂 including the ilr stuff today it will look as if they are going ahead tomorrow he will say hold on. No one knows where he stands in anything and in any matter today he will talk about Europe tomorrow another day he will complain about farage just all manner of confusion. Same for Aunty k, all of them including farage has no road map that leads anywhere. Just to be murmuring and complaining about the same system they are expected to fix themselves but no plan. |

jedisco:Lol @ the bolded. You are clearly not following UK politics. To borrow your analogy, Aunty K has been sweeping KS into the cupboard lately. Her performance today in the King's Speech debate was strong and hilarious. Her personal approval rating is higher than all the other major party leaders, and no one is calling for her resignation unlike Starmer who is likely to exit the "equation or dancefloor" soon.

Zahra29:That is correct. What they do is bring a colossal sense of entitlement , and demand - almost by sheer force of will - that British politics bends to serve their - immigrant - best interest. Regardless of wider concerns or true national interest. Zahra29:I only give cursory regard to politics - it's mostly theatre. But I've watched a few of her outings in PMQ's, and to be honest she is on a roll - and growing in sttature. Punchy and really polished performances. I take a dim view of our current crop of politicians - across the board - narry a statesman amongst them. But KB is definitely stand-out at the moment, and as a leader, putting daylight amongst herself and the pack - within and without. Zahra29:Agreed. I also think some of the things I thought may hamper her are turning in her favour as the "unknown unknowns" come into play. Her ethnicity which I thought would hinder, is a growing strength as she can stand against anti-semitism without the burden some indigenous politicians have. She is undeniably bold, forthright and the closest to calling out ee.slam.eek extremism which is coming more to the fore. Jenrick is vanquished and there don't appear to be any within her party not on-side with her leadership. I thought she ascended too soon, but with the disarray within the Labour party playing out, the emergence of the Greens and splitting of the vote amongst other right parties, the run up may serve her well. More lead time to establish her standing within the party, deliver stellar performances and repair some of the damage to her party. If Reform don't perform, there may be returnee Tory voters. Possibly a position in a coalition government? In all, I wish her well. It would tickle me to bits to see do well and the attending howls and choking all over this thread. They hate her because she's not like them and doesn't do what they demand. TV |

Zahra29:You and cherrypicking. You'd soon tell me Kemi has a 100% approval among her family members. She should convert her approval into better fortunes for her party. As badly as labour has performed, the fact that the cons have continued to languish should tell you something. Their performance in elections so far has been woeful What's worse is that their underperformance is now being expected and not even making the news. Two things can be true at same time. Starmer has had kemi locked in a cupboard. Unfortunately, Nigel Farage also locked KS in a wardrobe. Now that Starmer may be on his way out, Kemi's focus should be on retrieving the keys to her cupboard and improve the fortunes of her party BTW, I see you carry Kemi for head. You forget I was a fan of hers (until she joined bad gang) and have always wished her well. What exactly does she stand for? I worry about my interests not about politicians.

Some of the most expensive and desirable boroughs in the centre of London are given over to social housing to an unimaginable degree. According to the 2021 census, around a quarter of all housing in Westminster, Hammersmith and Fulham, and Kensington and Chelsea is socially rented. In Camden, Lambeth and Tower Hamlets, that proportion rises to a third. And in the trendy neighbourhoods of Hackney, Islington and Southwark, an astonishing 40pc of households are social tenants. This massive stock of housing, built on the most valuable land in the country, is permanently off the market. You cannot buy or rent any of it, no matter how hard you work, and waiting lists can stretch over decades. https://archive.is/anOYB Interesting article by the Telegraph. Trying to look beyond their bias, the stats got me thinking. While I'd want the best parts of a nation to have everyday folk inhabiting it and those needing housing not to be pushed into slums, this needs to be balanced against striving folks who fund some of these benefits. Majority of people wouldn't say no to a house in central London I've always wondered the actual process of getting these and what the gatekeeping to prevent abuse is. |

justwise:At this point, the nation needs to fix security 'irrespective' of what it takes. We've been able to fix perennial fuel scarcity, stabilised our exchange rate and now bringing down inflation. Whether its state police, armed local vigilante groups, mandating education for all school kids, corroborating with nations e.t.c, we need to fix insecurity before it ruins Nigeria. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by justwise(mod): 8:25pm On May 16 |
jedisco:Security prob in Nigeria is business/politics, some people are benefiting from it so fixing it will not be in their interest |

jedisco:😂 If the Firewood still fit cook better firewood jollof rice nko? At least our patriots try! Nothing musa no go see for gate on top patriots matter o! |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Goke7: 9:32pm On May 16 |
jedisco:State police is on the cards actually but I doubt it will make all states secure as some states will lack the necessary human resources and capacity. At the end only serious states can secure themselves. It’s actually down to these sub nationals(states) like you said to sit up and eradicate the menace of out of school children to fix this mess. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by jedisco(m): 12:41am On May 17 |
Goke7:With a state police, states that want to invest in security have no excuse. My only worry is that governors may misuse the system. In that case, it may be better administered on a regional level with FG being involved in determining leaders and funding coming directly from the states central account. The almajiri system is the fuel that drives all this. It's hightime states dismantle it. The FG can push them towards this as affected states wouldn't want to cos of votes. |

The UK's political scene, is walking along this road (at the moment)........ 😁😂

| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by justwise(mod): 7:55am On May 17 |
Goke7:Count me out… they have nothing in common with an average Nigerian, Tommy is looking for another meal ticket from organisations who benefit from religious and ethnic wars, saying things for clicks. Nigerians are dying, not just Christians or Muslims … the insecurity is affecting all Nigerians. People like Tommy are opportunistic with no solution to the problem. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Goke7: 8:34am On May 17 |
jedisco:Regional policing has always been my preference as many states in Nigeria are not even economically viable. The insecurity itself is actually caused by ungoverned spaces in many states that has no govt presence at all but regional approach can enable leverage on better equipped states with capacity by the less developed states. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Goke7: 8:42am On May 17 |
justwise:I hear a lot NGOs and funding are always involved in this religious genocide agenda narrative so Baba perhaps just wan collect e own share. How sad like you said people just take advantage for their own belly rather than genuine concern for what the issue is all about cos I have always been curious how a far right activist like Tommy whose major agenda is white supremacy suddenly is interested in what is going on in a black nation like Nigeria. They just follow the money o! while they lie they are not racists 😂 |

234GT:Hehe. You sound angry Both can be right at same time. 1. For a while, especially bolstered by the opening of Dangote's refinery, PMS has been widely available. We don't have the usual queues that were commonplace before. 2. Since deregulation, PMS is now locally deemed very expensive and also swings with world prices. Yes, some Nigerians struggle to afford it especially at required amts but it doesn't take away it's availability |
