It's the cohorts of Nigerian students that recently made the very brave move to come to the UK that I so much pity. |

TheChameleon:You actually believes he made sense. Well. He didn't. And you label people dundee, why? Because you believe you think quicker than they do? We are not all quick thinking and that's okay. Many people have all kinds of disorder, some are slow, some are fast, some are weak, some are strong, we are not all created same, people are unique in life, it's nothing to be mocked that is why we need each other's opinions or learn from each other.. Go research, Austism, Discalculia and dyslexia your mind will be blown. Hey! Did you know that the richest guy on earth, yes! Elon Musk has a condition called Autism and asperges (i am not sure i wrote the spelling Asperges right) but do try and educate yourself on that. If you say you deal with dundees daily well.. you might want to change career you could be the problem rather. I am here to learn not to judge or mock. You could teach me a thing or two also. What you are good at, i might not be good at and the ones i am good at you might not be. Cheers! ![]() |

LordLicifer:The UK issued around 406,824 sponsored study visas to main international applicant students in 2025 and less than 11,000 apply for asylum and refugee. Immigration law does not make it easy to enter UK as a student and then claim assylum, unless you have evidence of prosecution in your home country, which does not apply to most students. Most of those who apply for refugee or asylum are refused, which is why most do not go to UK anymore.

budaatum:Interesting. I would like you to show me the stats. On the number of foreign students who went along to claim asylum after their student visas expired . Immigration laws does not make it easy to enter as a student and then claim asylum but it doesn't stop anyone/student from doing so. |

budaatum:I am sure that Nigerian students in the United Kingdom, especially Tinubu fans are hurriedly coming back to Nigeria. Ṣebi their master strategist has crashed petrol prices below N185, achieved his short term goal of N300/$1, and has created 50 million jobs among the many promises he made before grabbing power from Buhari in 2023! |

These ones are still trying to pay to go to school? Lmao! Our world as we know it has completely been reshaped and the elites in power have swindled us all. The social contract of going to school for a degree and getting a job ( though not guaranteed) no longer exists! It's all about profits now, AI has dismantled the prior blue print. Get your formal education but use your brain! Don't put yourself in debt to get formal education ...invest in yourself and learn whatever you need to learn and get your technical skills you need .....however forget the degree bullshit! |

LordLicifer:I would love to but such data is not made available so as not to encourage others. Still, 3% success rate is low. LordLicifer:Indeed anyone can apply. That does not mean so many are successful. 3% of 10,835 is very low considering over 400k student visas are granted.

budaatum:The data should be out there and i believe it is out there for public interest regardless if it encourages people or not. My point initially was that almost all students who entered on student visas never leave, they apply for asylum or ends up staying through other immigration routes. Even as of today student visa holders can apply to stay through the COS healthcare route i gathered. |
| Re: UK Students Skipping Meals & Getting 2nd Jobs To Meet Living Costs" - Report by budaatum: 8:06pm On Sep 19 |
LordLicifer:Most don't qualify for the healthcare route, and the healthcare route is not the same as the student or asylum route. You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to claim asylum in UK after having been here on a student visa, and there's no way to convince you despite providing you with facts, so I rest. |
| Re: UK Students Skipping Meals & Getting 2nd Jobs To Meet Living Costs" - Report by LordLicifer(m): 8:37pm On Sep 19 |
budaatum:I quite understood your facts, and i feel convinced, however as i said, earlier, as difficults as it may be to obtain an asylum after having entered as student it hasn't detered them from applying. And they are not been deported either because they keep appealing until their appeal are exhausted which takes months and months. Pakistani, Banglasdeshis and Indians are known notoriously for applying for asylum after entering as students, some claim to be gay and some claim to be Afghanis knowing that they may have a chance if they claim to be these two things. Some go to gay bars in the west end to take photos with their male friends with arms around each other's shoulder in other to convince the home office of their claimed gender. and for claiming to be Aghanis they cannot be deported.It has been interesting indulging you i have enjoyed it Cheers! ![]() |

LordLicifer:By "them", I hope you mean 'some' and not all or even most. Many students who come to United Kingdom will want to stay, especially if from a country with an economy like ours, and they will do anything to stay including "claim to be gay and some claim to be Afghanis" and "go to gay bars in the west end to take photos" as you've pointed out. I've even heard of some committing crime just so they can stay here in prison, but out of about 400k foreign students only 10k applied for asylum and much fewer are granted, according to evidence you say you "understood your facts, and i feel convinced" about, lol. But it's me. My sorry. I'm just pedantic. LordLicifer:Now, this is true. Many asylum seekers will "keep appealing until their appeal are exhausted which takes months and months", but many students would just go back home, or better still apply for UK Graduate Visas or Skilled Worker Visas, since they ought to better be able to use the knowledge they just spent over £20k a year getting to work out a stay than to claim asylum and refugee. And no, I'm not suggesting those routes are any easier, but they can "keep appealing until their appeal are exhausted which takes months and months" too. LordLicifer:I'm enjoying it too. Below shows what most students do. It isn't asylum or refugee seeking.

LordLicifer:The most popular route for migration isn't asylum. It's through education. Almost all foreign schools are in Nigeria marketing false dream and promise that if you pay their ultra exorbitant fees you have a chance of relocating. If foreigners stop patronising these schools, they will fold up and close |

One thing not said about this thread is UK just got a new prime minister who needs to be tested, and every Union in the country wants more cake and students want a minimum wage. I wouldn't be surprised if we have strikes soon.
