Is this a joke ?

samsmokey:
All these children that UK government will not let you discipline. Back then I remember a class mate being brought to Nigeria and “abandoned”. He spent about two years with his uncle, during that period the reforming😉😉 he received.
When he returned to the UK he was a completely changed being.

Back when I was in secondary school (all boarders) we always had student who were Nigerians born in US and UK coming for their secondary school education I never saw the importance until years later.

And crowded. Rooms are so small, I wonder if I dey inside prison.

Hotels will squeeze the most out of rooms, just to accommodate as many guests wey possible.

The underground is just filled with grumpy-looking faces, and it doesn't feel like the UK I knew watching Mr Bean or James Bond.

Just go to a busy street and shout "Mohammed", maybe two people will turn and ask if you're calling their name

Now do the same with a typical British name like Connor, people will wonder if you're mad because no one bears Connor here

People are legitly broke. Not even those doing menial jobs, but white-collar folks. I can't believe that was the country that colonised almost half the world just a century ago.

Okay, I exaggerated, but you get the gist. The UK is very different than how the media project it.

London is just one part of the uk tho plus some other cites accommodation in the UK are quite spacious with great condition for living.

Japa with a plan.

Hello chief, kindly reach out I believe as an accountant with good experience there is something in the fintech space that you can buildon with. Currently working on building a product in line with finance I believe we can work together, I'll say you should try to leave the country ASAP. Good luck.

even your fellow 9ja students will refuse to date you talkless of those with citizenship or permanent residency. Na men wey get good jobs and papers dem dey rush o. As a student you are probably starting from one room shared accommodation. Many 9ja babes here cant get wet for u in such accommodation when guys with cars and nice apartments staying alone dey. If you look good, black ladies from jamaica, other african countries or average looking white babes fit give you small nacks 😆.

SmartPolician:
So what are you still doing there?

Why haven't you come back home?

You dy mind am

lavida001:
Dey play

He has a point.

this car is about 1.5m naira in Canada and a cleaner can buy it here with a month salary. But in Nigeria it’s about 4m now. Is that not rip off . The person wey export the yam no go incur shipping, logistics , clearing and taxes

So many clowns here finding reasons to be a clown.

ishiamu:
Omg... U Made a mistake.... U could have stayed in Berlin, all this small cities are not nice to foreigners.... Get your back and move to Berlin now before it's too late.

LionInZion:
I think this has been in effect for a while now, perhaps some new adjustments to it made them include it in this new update.

Tbh, I support this. People should at least be ready to complete their studies if they came in on a student Visa. I heard some were even abandoning their studies and switching from the first few days or weeks after arriving, thereby subjecting many universities to profit loss.

Any reasonable person should support this 100%

Solumtoya:
People use it but it's illegal to use private scooters on public roads but most Police Officers don't care about seizing them or prosecuting offenders but they're illegal and I've seen them seized and destroyed.

Interestingly how this could av been a good alternative for green transport and all or maybe they are yet to find a way to tax and licence them.

Any idea if this is allowed for movement within a few kilometres? It's an E scooter and I intend to use it for a little few moving around.

hustla:
Demarketing ourselves and this and that is not the reason why Ogun state cannot build ordinary website to buy train tickets on Sha

Black man no try, make we no lie give ourselves

Lol black man indeed, the UK is fantastic please!

NIGERIA hasn't done any better. People who never wanted to japa three years ago are actively working on leaving now.

Blaze14k:
The government is not subsidizing anything for foreign students. The essence of the black market abacha introduced was to give the central bank the leverage to make money off forex by selling dollar at high rate more of the reason why it's so difficult to get dollar or pounds from the bank. When people send money abroad the do it at black market rate. Who gave you guys this idea that government is subsidizing tuition fee for foreign students. A lot of u are so dumb in this country.

They just hate when people travel abroad. Group of dullard.

How can I be proud to be a Nigerian? So much hateful comment here smh

heroshark:
Not my decision to make How? I can't remember making any decision at any point in my message.

I only asked a question, to see if I'm missing anything. Cause I don't understand how having a 5 years US B1-B2 visa or a 1year Schengen multiple entry visa is a backup to UK residency visa incase the UK Bleep up.
Even with a 5year US visa the maximum you can stay with each visit is 6months and for Schengen territory it's 3months, and you are not permitted to work or take up paid employment during the visit.

To be realistic there is so much that should be left unsaid plus Immigration didn't start today and all.

People who are hunting for a US visit visa know what they want and I think it's better we mind our businesses and let them make whatever decisions they want. All I'll say will be for everyone should keep hopes high be realistic and not too selfish.

Gerrard59:
You never lose betting against Nigeria.

That said, the devaluation is not really a problem as it makes Made in Nigeria goods/products to be cheaper in the global market. Nigeria does not need a strong naira. We are not Switzerland or Singapore.

Are made in Nigeria goods of great quality standard or assurance?

heroshark:
I don't understand what you guys meant by get other visas?

Having other visas (which in most cases are visit visa) will not save anyone from the UK immigration wahala if the time comes. You can't use those visas to immigrate or even work on those visas. I have a long-term US visa and Schegen visa (Swiss issued) yet they are absolutely useless for immigration

Except you plan to travel and then turn illegal immigrant.

Not your decision to make for others choice.

lightnlife:
This oyinbo life ehn 😀

So dem dey get full name (Billy Sanders) and insurance for pets! 😂

Not sure I can get over this!

It's a usual practice with any other race tho.

JeffreyJunior:
When Oga Solomon leaves desk job at a federal ministry where he stays and discusses Chelsea/Arsenal all day and relocates to UK to work as laborer in a bread factory, why won't he complain of suffering?

Has he ever really worked in his life before? I guess no.

Too real

Dujardin:
Based on the falacy OP of this thread shared https://www.nairaland.com/7738556/nigerians-uk-really-suffering

I'm forced to open this one.

I don't know the motive behind this guy's story, perhaps to discourage others from travelling or just for attention. But one thing is certain, they are not ready to come back home so there must be something they aren't telling you.

I don't care about my English or writing skill so if you can't read it please stop here.

I am also in the UK, I used to be a software developer in Nigeria, worked remotely for my company till I left last month, now I work as a stock controller in a factory till I can at least finish my MSc. in September and get back on my career, and what I observed will be listed here.

1. You work for every minute you're paid for - that's their system, it thrives on meritocracy bore out of talent and hard work. You want better life? up-skill, no other way. Nigerians who are used to the padi-padi work place style are the ones that complain the most.

2. You are limited to menial jobs as a student - Many Nigerians will say they are suffering because they used to have a white collar job before now they are care giver. If you had done your homework well before leaving Nigeria, you would have known what awaits you in the UK as a student, and settle without stress with it, or stay back. The day I started the factory job was the first day I ever stepped my foot into any kind of factory. The biggest factory I've been to in Nigeria was a bakery.

3. You are suffering but can afford a shelter of #400,000 per month, and you are eating what you want - Where I stay in UK is like a Taraba State to Nigeria, cost of living is way low compared to other cities, and cheapest rent in my area for a student is £300 per month. These people earn based on the city they live and pay more rent than this every month, can afford to eat good food, send their children to school free of charge, and they see it as suffering?

Do they do menial job? Yes,
Are they getting enough money to go by? Yes.
Why complain? Get the skill to switch career if you're tired.

My conclusion is, everyone in life is supposed to work and then enjoy their fruit, no one is supposed to live life consuming more than they earn or live off others, but when you're used to that life in Nigeria where you can get free money or borrow and not pay back, you see this Western culture as suffering.

In all don't let anyone discourage you from leaving Nigeria and explore life if you can.

EDIT
The only set of people that are suffering are those staying illegally because their documents expired, but they can only blame themselves for still choosing to stay back, not condemn the whole travel thing.

Na why corruption dy Nigeria people just want free money

Please stop talking about uk it's getting annoying tbh.

Can you leave UK alone pls na

kronos1:
TLS center Ikeja didn’t ask to sign document checklist for those that did self assessment at the center. Hope one is safe

They also gave free UK SIM card for use in UK for someone who hasn’t collected visa yet.

It is ..

gforce5:
OP, Nigerians have what is called a 'crabs in a bucket' syndrome. They don't want their fellow countrymen to succeed. They want to be the gate keepers to success. As Gerrard rightly said, majority of the Nigerian elite either have second passports or properties abroad. Most of their children don't go to school in Nigeria. The ones abroad who are discouraging Nigerians from coming over there are noise makers. They want to be seen as the only Nigerians abroad. 95% of them already have already acquired the citizenship of their host countries. Ask them to renounce their foreign citizenship and return home, they can't do it. A lot of them have nothing to show for all the years they were living abroad so their best bet is to de-market the country they are based in.

Staying in Nigeria is not an issue. The real problem is staying in the country without a plan B which is why it is imperative that Nigerians try to secure dual nationality by any means necessary. I lived in Europe for many years before relocating to Nigeria in 2014 with a second passport to boot butI would never discourage anyone from JAPAIing in order to create the same opportunities for themselves. Most of the elites don't believe in Nigeria and only see it as a cash out venture. It's the masses who are the most patriotic.

100% agree

LondyC:
Have you tried using ChatGPT? That’s what I used and I got multiple interviews with the NHS

Can you explain how you used chatGPT?

Get a second passport if you like yourself, Nigeria don't really care about you.

CLASSMAN:
Ahh, I hope access bank responds fast?

Yes yes.

@duchess90 and co guru

Please help diagnose this.

I got offer from Salford around March, I did my TB test around April 5th with the intention of processing my CAS but unfortunately my TB certificate was delayed for almost ten weeks because I was told to undergo sputum test. While waiting for sputum result, Salford withdrew my admission because I didn't pay the required deposit to secured my place. I subsequently applied into Ulster University which I was given offer.

Now, I am preparing to get my CAS from Ulster because I have gotten my TB certificate after my sputum test result indicate Negative.

My complain now is that my TB certificate has Salford University address which Ulster has already clarity that it's not a problem, but my wife is about doing her TB test.

Should she use the same Salford address as mine or use Ulster?

If she uses Ulster University address as my dependant which is different from mine, hope UKVI won't see this as a fault?

Thanks

Don't stress it as the address doesn't matte. The result matter the most.

Emezro007:
Pls I need help with list of European countries that does not share immigration data with the UK. My wife (dependant) was banned for 10 years from entering the UK since 2020 her agent didn’t pass the real information to her, she was told it was due to Covid travel restriction. Unknowing to us we applied as a couple 2 weeks ago, I got my student visa while she was reminded of her 10 years ban to elapse by 2030. I need to know the list of European countries that doesn’t share immigration information with the UK. Thanks…
