Because you if you are a refugee in spain you can't come to the UK without a visa, if you had a visa you wouldn't be in a refugee camp.

I travel with british passport i was born in the UK.
You are already claiming refugee in spain they have your prints? if you come here they would send you back to spain

You still haven't told me your reason for claiming a refugee.

Millenniumlady:
Are you coming or not ?

Moving to the UK didn’t really know what to expect, I just had dreams and desire to change my life fortune. So when I landed at Heathrow I got my first scare when immigration told me to step aside after asking me why am I in the UK and who am I coming to see. Told them I’m not coming to see anyone but moving permanently to live with my wife (now ex) and they requested for her number and I gave. Then asked me where she is I told them she’s waiting for me at the arrival lounge. They delayed me for about 30mins but throughout the entire time I acted unworried coz I knew cameras were on me to observe my countenance.

Was just playing music with my Beats headsets and nodding my head to the rhythms, but I was worried inside me. I travelled with a residence permit and had all the confidence in-between the worries. So they later let me go and on getting at the arrival lounge saw madam and my brothers waiting for me, immediately I stepped out at Heathrow cold almost blew me off coz it was December period.

I was excited but the airport experience almost destabilised me. Sha thank God, my fortune has indeed changed forever. Now a naturalised citizen with a decent job and with an even promising future. No regrets whatsoever. The environment was a sight to behold. Nigeria would have killed my dreams.

My first time was when I travelled to Canada in Sept 2015 (and haven't returned yet!). I am not counting my school's field trip to Benin Republic, Shonghai farms. It was like a dream to me because I left Nigeria to further my studies and I had NOBODY where I was going. Just sorted my accommodation online and travelled alone for about 27 hours. Nobody came to receive me from the airport or anything. That was when I truly felt my destiny as much as in God's hands is also now in my hands, not my parent's hands or anything. I grew up quickly within days.

It was after three days I missed home and cried.

Mine was a very good and humbling experience..had mixed feelings before I left...immediately I got my visa, I started having this very different feeling in my body sha.. on the day of my trip, my wife who then was still my babe wasn't able to bear it because that was the first time in 3yrs I'll be away from her for longer than a week...got to the airport and it dawned on both of us that it was really gonna happen..she started crying and it got to me and I shed tears also..made promises and we kissed goodbye...immediately I got into the plane, the air automatically became different o.lol...I got to my destination and I immediately realized I was a bush Man o..everything looked new to me even if I had seen them before or at least had ideas of them...things were so orderly and well arranged...the airport was so beautiful...got out after clearance and for the first Time I saw luxurious cars as taxis and wasted my money to enter one o instead of the regular cars sef..got to my apartment and called my girl and told her how it was...was there for 14months and it was a new experience of peace, constant electricity, good roads and obedience to traffic..generally it humbled me to know that it doesn't hurt to follow rules and ever since i got back, wearing of seat belts and obeying traffic stuck with me...was a very beautiful experience..

It was one of the best days of my life.. 3rd January 2017... Was a 13 hours Delta Airlines direct flight from Murtala Mohammed Intl Airport, Lagos to Hartsfield Jackson Intl Airport, Atlanta Georgia... Thanks to God for the Mercy..

Good for you, London seemed like a different world to me first time I got there. Even though I was from another European country but the difference in class, tech, organisation and decorum, and finally people that you didn't have to ask if they understood English, was clear. Lovely place it seems, though quite expensive for broke students like us. Settling there after studies will be a dream come true.

monfizzy:


Depending on what you’re studying it might be possible to migrate to Britain after you graduated. From next year, the UK will begin a Canada/Australia merit based system for people with some certain skills to move here. So just maybe you might qualify giving that you’re educated abroad.

I felt wowed by what other countries have built and I was looking for people with two heads who built these infrastructures. I couldn't see any two-headed people and I wonder why our case was different. When I came back especially at MMA, I was depressed! Since then I have been to all the continents except Australia and South America. Currently in North America!

Personally I have not yet traveled out of the country as am still waiting for the lord to bless my hustle.

If you have travelled to any civilized country then tell us your experience the day you wanted to travel overseas for the first time. How was it? Was there any challenge? Were you HAPPY? Was it a fun experience?

How did you feel when you arrived your destination?

Let us know how it was.

oldtruth:
Tried to hold myself from forming green. Already traveling local and was a bit calm. At destination, I just felt uneasy and even missed few steps. Just don't know why Was having stomach running and just want to be free. Hot tears ran down my cheeks when I remember home.

Took me till the next day before I can start enjoying any view or appreciating anyone.

2008, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Got a job at Waiward steel fabricators.

Let's keep thanking God and keep doing our best.

Poster asked about if you traveled abroad??

Chi59:
Who will take me abroad?

learner007:


Are you there for study or visit? Your flight must be very expensive. I hardly find people who do direct flight for naija to Yankee.

Millenniumlady:
Why did the Spain authorities didn't send you back ?

gypsey:
because I am british

Millenniumlady:
So you mean a foreigner with visa in uk can't move tour Europe and return to his uk resident freely

gypsey:
yes, if you have a passport of your country and a valid UK visa, but you still need to get the visas of the countries you want to tour in europe.

CrudeSon:
Forget,if you have the money,you will enjoy Naija,all those clamouring to leave are riff raffs,the big bosses only go for vacation and come back,Naija rocks

Millenniumlady:
Gypsey come to Spain and take all this burden from me lemme follow you to UK hope your baby mama won't mind

franchasng:
brother I used to be like you but see eh, the black race as a whole have a fundamental problem from creation of mankind; they are naturally unorganised, lack love, are born with innate envy, unbridled selfishness, wickedness and common love for personal success and hatred for communal progress.

A typical black person want to be the only one succeeding while others worship and beg him for alms.

A typical black man is completely fulfilled if he or she is successful, his immediate family are okay, and the rest of the world around him are suffering and begging, that's how a typical black is wired.

The natural envy of the black people will push them to sabotage your effort and in fact kill you if you resist. Their joy is seeing their whole community in darkness while their home is lite with shinning star lights.


Their is no communal love among blacks. EVERYBODY is selfish and self centered.

The only way Nigeria and West Africa can become a bit developed and organised is for white people to return and take over key leadership and security positions and also run the judiciary to ensure foolish blacks are dealt with and forced to develop sense like other races.
