Sakuzi:
Good afternoon everyone, please I need your advise.
I studied biochemistry during my undergraduate. And I applied for visa in January this year with the MBA business leadership and practice course even though i paid for priority UKVI delayed the visa until the last week of resumption before they called me for interview. I had to cancel the visa application and I didn't attend the interview. So now I want to start another application for September and I want to ask if it is advisable to still go for the MBA business leadership and practice course or I should just change to a more science related course like biomedical science maybe that will make the visa application more straightforward and non complicated.

Your advise is highly appreciated.

BSC - Biochem
MSC - MBA
Work experience - Nigeria (senior leadership experience?)
Free point - MBA is often not rated in the absence of relevant experience , as it is something associated with someone seeking an experienced managerial position.

What kind of job opportunities do you intend to pursue in the UK?

Check on LinkedIn or Indeed to see if there are job opportunities closely matching your profile, it there aren't then you will do well to reflect on your choice of course or country.

If the care sector increased wages to £50 - 65k, the need to sponsor overseas workers would evaporate overnight as they would have more than enough local workers willing to do the work for that pay.

Post Brexit, HGV driver salaries jumped to as much as £60-80k due to a massive shortage of drivers and the government's reluctance to open up a HGV visa route. The salary jump attracted loads of new workers and the staffing crisis was averted.

Subsequently though, instead of increasing pay, businesses lobbied Boris's government to relax visa conditions to bring in foreign workers and the rest is history... I believe Streeting is working on a Fair Pay Agreement for Adult Social care to increase pay and working conditions.

Re Spain - I think the plan is to issue a 1 year work permit which can then be renewed if conditions are met. After 5 years they should be able to apply for PR and citizenship in 10.

Adult social care already accounts for 75% - 80% of many council budgets - something must give to substantially grow the budgets. They can use their hatred for HCA to shoot themselves in the foot and tomorrow blame politicians for increasing taxes or the service being stripped bare.

The sms was sent via a number....
I visited the site and input my case reference... was directed to payment interface

The (3) menu options on the site only directs you to the same payment interface....

Don't pay without seeing a proper PCN in person or online. PCN should celarly show you the date and time of the alleged offence and a picture for your comfort that you truly committed the offence.

Do you know the hourly charge-out rate for a wet-leased private jet? What business does Oshomole have to afford it.

On whose budget is he flying around with escorts on a private jet?

This is why Nigeria remains poor

“It’s commendable that the community members, even though Muslims, refused to be conscripted into a weird belief that promoted violence over peace and dialogue.”


Very sad news. The above emphasis on the religion the community is practicing is also important, especially at this period that news on genocidal attacks on Christian communities are being promoted in Nigeria.

Terrorists in Nigeria do not care about your religion...they kill anyone at will.

continue playing ostritch. Violence of this nature are almost always religious or ethnic. Check well, the attacker and attacked are from different ethinic group or religion.

Yes, you have no comment and knowledge to respond to me, so you resort to abuse.

Thanks. Good afternoon.

Well, the legal ones will have to find a way to weather the storm and get good paying jobs which is going to even be more difficult given than PSW is now 16 months and sponsorship rules are tightening and ever changing.

This is why anyone coming in legally will do well to have a solid Plan B before hoping on the plane to come as even the healthcare route which used to help is likely going to face tighter measures by Feb 2026.

This could include just hustling for 1yr 6 months, packing all the money back to 9ja to invest or making sure to grad with good grades and porting to a better country on PR.



Side question: Do they actually get benefits from Day 1 or the media is contributing to drive this narrative?

About £10 a week for pocket money but HO carters for their basic needs - healthcare, accomodation, utilises and feeding. They also get legal aid to support their asylum application.

Once asylum granted, they are entitled to any benefit a british citizen is entitled to.

A large number of asylum claimants stay on benefits because they do not have the relevant education/skill and language proficency for higher paying jobs.

HustlaOfLagos:


I think they stopped the hotel thing and asylum to ILR will now be 20 years. They also seem to be bursting those delivery guys who do cash in hand stuff / illegally so some effort on the part of the gov there

I still think legal immigrants should be supported more and encouraged except they actually do not want legal immigration or someone somewhere is benefiting from the illegal one

20 years on benefits is not a bad deal for many coming in illegally.

Many also top it up with cash in hand.

Many of them English proficiency and educational qualification/skill would not have gotten them a job paying higher than minimum wage, so being on benefits from day 1 is not a bad deal.

If they like they make it 50years, doesnt mean much to these guys.

The ones bothered are those who paid £15-30k for an MSc, paying yearly IHS fee, playing by the rule but yet struggling to find good paying jobs because of the way the work sposnsorship system works.

For these ones, extending their ordeal from 5 years to 10 years is a big deal.

HustlaOfLagos:
..And a lot will also leave after getting some money saved up for better countries.

Some will even take loans and abscond to their home country to set up

In the end, the political gimmick of painting all migrants with the same brush won’t just fail it will actively harm the country. Bad policy dressed up as toughness always sends the wrong signal to the wrong people.

Legal migrants are looking away, illegal migrants are trooping in record numbers.

They start as benefit recipients on day 1 and many continue on benefits even after asylum is granted and mix it with cash-in-hand jobs on which no tax is paid.

HO probably already scouting for more hotels or hmo to house them.
What a shame!

GeneralDae:
Exactly. This is where we were as at September 2023 when the naira was approaching over 1000/$ for the first time.
There was real scarcity of forex for businesses and we were going down already such that letters of credit for imports were already been rejected. We were thinking of selling our stakes in NLNG to raise $10 Billion at the time but that would have been tricky.
We needed to convince investors that monies trapped in Billions of dollars due to FX backlogs would be paid back in order to bring back FPI’s which were very low. At this point the FMDQ was getting an average of $30 million a day ( down from the usual $200 million a day). It was a crises and only heavy borrowing ($10 Billion and above) would have steadied the ship if we were to maintain an FX rate below 1000 at that stage.

Wait till after the loan repayment due in Nov. If Naira holds steady past that date, the only thing that threatens FX will be election.

I know PWAN personally.It is owned by Mr Onwumere or something and his wife.
To my mind,they are legitimate and they are a real estate entity.They have been operating for more than 13 years.
The problem is their being in the capital market as what?

They are thieves and their cup will fill soon.

I am still waiting for the land I paid them for 10 years ago

Tradepunter2:
It's fvckkkcccung confusing.... They still hold my 7 million on lies that I Will get a land in a fenced area of empty land only to find myself in remote village on a land way way below what I paid..... All gloves are off now, knowing they're are a scam real estate

I am also looking to take action against them. Can we get in touch?

Nodogragra4me:
If they gave you papers and you have proofs of services they ought to provide that they reneged on then fccpc is there



If they have not shown you your lot, and you have papers, petition them to fccpc. It is free, online.

We will have to do something it at some point in time.

Nodogragra4me:
What did you buy from them and what happened, afterwards

I have bought a plot at Ibeju Lekki called Oakwood Park since 2014. When they sold it, there was a road there that clearly showed the plot they wanted to sell.

Once they finish selling the estate, they leave it to become a jungle and continue to claim the land exists somewhere in the jungle. This is the same modus operandi for all their estates in Ibeju Lekki (and probably other places). No one is able to take custody and develop the land they allegedly own and claim to have sold.

They refuse to buy the land back, even at cost, or resell it to someone else. Instead, they continue selling new "estates" and now even promise to double people's cash in real estate investment.

SmartPolician:
The statement didn't say they run a Ponzi scheme. It says they are not licensed. The company just needs to send one of their workers to meet the SEC so they can get that license. That company is too big for this.

I am telling you as someone affected that they do run a ponzi scheme. The format of selling land probably no longer works, so they are looking for a new format.

Nodogragra4me:
You bought land through them and couldn't custody after ten years?

Not just me, there are hundred or thousands of people affected but somehow it has not been a big talking point online, probably because people are still hoping they have not been deceived.

They will take you to a bush and claim the road is covered by bushes, so they cannot show you where the land is.

All the estates they sold since 2013 in Ibeju Lekki, not one single one has been developed. They cannot even show people where the land is.

Dont be a joker. Legitimately selling land to people without them being able to take custody of it after 10 years? Lands that likely does not belong to them

wonlasewonimi:
is it because of verydarkman?

GTB is a very useless bank normally. If it took verydarkman for some people to realise it that is good.

I had a double debit that took two years to resolve in spite of having information when it happened and a signed confirmation from the seller providing an extract of the bank statement showing they only received the funds one.

They only took the request serious after getting a lawyer and involving the CPD dept of CBN.

A very very very useless bank

Pls how long did it take to get your mortgage offer from Barclays? My mortgage advisor submitted my application since 11th of April and I haven't heard from them today the 3rd of May. I'm getting worried...

Very unlikely.

There is a possibility they raised some queries which the broker (I presume you are using one) responded to without notifying you. You can check with them

When you underpay or do not pay people, you need to very kind to them . Madam judge learnt that the hard way.

Btw, is she not paid well enough to get a proper baby sitter or she was just too greedy?

Even if they have gaurdians, does it make sense to have people leave their homes at 4am or 5am because they have an exam?

Will someone in jamb die if the processes starts by 8am or 9am?
