The name you posted is not Tinubu

INEC doesn’t accept a close to name or almost correct name


I can’t even get on a plane if my name varies with one letter. If this is real you just provided a ground for disqualification

Hmmmm!

Interesting... Now we are getting somewhere

So is it ok to say that pics and record is not credible

Since OP is very good with AI, he can help uncover what year the picture below is from.

I got the below from gistlover.

I already made my post above before I stumbled on yours.

This is the same question I just asked but then let's not be too quick to conclude. It may or may not be a credible picture.

Aren't you worried that Nigeria is not moving forward?

Oh sorry my bad... How can Nigeria move forward when people like you are supporting a man with questionable background, educational qualification, a confirmed Bag man for drug cartel and a man who is so enmeshed in several unresolved corruption cases.

A man who rode on a sabotaged electoral process to be the president.

Now you see why Nigeria is not moving forward...

Now guess what.. In civilised countries, Tinubu can never qualify to be an uber driver or even a cleaner in sensitive sectors such as health and finance..

That is the man who is your president.

Please don't bother responding to this cos I will ignore you.

With income of many families in Nigeria, how many can afford that tuber of yam?

That yam is even more affordable here in the UK when you put earnings into consideration. What a minimum wage earner here earns in about 30 mins can buy that same tuber of yam.

That yam is bigger than it looks in the pics and hardly will you find that size in UK and if you ever find such it will surely go for 15 to 20 quid which is just about same N2k.

Please check one of the documents released yesterday by the university. I quoted a sentence there, it reads " Bola Tinubu the president of Nigeria, graduated from the university in 1979, one of HIS political opponent Abubakar". If the Tinubu that attended the university was actually a female it will reads "one of HER political opponent, or she's not contesting for any election in Nigeria"check the second mark down there.

I don't understand what Atiku is still looking for in the US court.
I hope disobedient children can go back to their hurts now, because some of them were saying the Tinubu that attended the university was a female.


You obviously don't know what he is looking for.

He is looking for the records of how he got into the university.

I'm not sure you understand the UK policy on sponsorship migration bro.
Any employer that employed someone who came through sponsorship is liable to pay heavy fine and most employer will not want to risk that.
The only alternative is to find a non registered work like hourly cleaning or janitorial services that will not arouse the regulators check .
Now imagine someone who was probably a banker in Nigeria and paid 10000 pounds to immigrate going to the UK and becoming a cleaner.
Do you wish your enemy that kind of life hence it's no surprise they won't do that kind of job you are proposing.
Your closing remark is exactly the problem. ..

Stop being Ignorant bro, you have been spreading a lot of mis-information on this thread.

Once you come in with a specific type of work-visa, you can never do any other type of work even IF they tried to, so your point is False.

If they come with a care visa, that is the job they are meant to do, NOT cleaning job.

There is nothing special about the UK, the citizens who live there themselves are complaining. Every other week there are train strikes in London, Nurses are also striking. The housing crisis has hit the roof & people are protesting, I witnessed one in January & they are planning for another.

A lot of Nurses are resigning and moving to better countries like Australia.

So stop spreading mis-information!

It is best to ignore.

Many of you are freaking ignorant.

Learn from those in the system.

@Treadway i dont jknow about the travel section you are talking about but i know the uk SYSTEM SO WELL.

UK is is one of the best countries to live but if you are lazy,proud or picky with jobs just dont bother travelling anywhere.

I know people who started as cleaners but today they work in IT. Life is gradual.

UK does not care about your degree or qualifications in Nigeria. You must do some courses befor you can get certain jobs infact 95% of UK jobs are course oriented.

Ptience is the key. Nigeria is good only if you are a politician,yahoo boy, or you are extremely lucky to be blessed and pray that the Govt does not destroy your business with their ineptitude.

Don't mind him.

Many people just sit with their phones to write trash.

Let me bust your bubble... Do you know that many Nigerians reject the work they came in for?

Read that article again. I see people come into the UK and say they can never do care job WHICH WAS EXACTLY WHAT THEY GOT SPONSOR FOR...

They will say they can't clean shit or take care of people so they start looking for another job BETTER than that.

They will never want to start with cleaning job because in their minds the cleaning job is an embarrassment having spent so much to come in.

Bro forget these ignorant people typing what they don't know.

UK IS a fantastic country that is a million times better than Nigeria and if you are not lazy or foolishly picky, you will eat the fruits of the land.

You are not getting it do you.
If you get into the UK via the sponsorship route which is the case here, you cannot do any other job apart from the non existent job that sponsored you into the UK.
So you can see their dilemma now.

Bro there are thousand of jobs that will employ you but some of these Nigerians are annoyingly picky.

They come with that crazy mindset that they will get a "befitting" jobs.

There are many jobs with staff shortage in the UK that will gladly employ them but they came with the mentality that everything is set for them... They don't want to build from scratch and they are so so freaking impatient forgetting the fact that they are actually starting life all over in a strange country.

This.

If you’re coming from a place where you’ve graduated 5-10 years waiting for a job and none is coming. You found yourself in a different country where unemployment isn’t as terrible and you have a legal permit to work. Not the “undocumented working under the table” situation, why not grit through it and see if there are jobs you can do? Is it that no one will employ them even though their visa is valid?

Well I can say I know how the uk works but having a work visa sounds like a good opportunity compared to being unemployed where they are coming from




Exactly my point.

I'm so sorry to say this but most Nigerians have this annoying entitlement mentality.

If you know what 5years work permit visa can do for you, "paying 10k" to get it is like a child's play compared to what you will benefit. Even if you start from cleaning for £10 an hour, you will still make enough by month end and you can build from there but these dumb Nigerians come to the UK hoping to get white collar jobs.

Many undocumented people in America and UK go into arranged marriages spending about £20k yet fail to secure residence permit and all is in the bid to be able to live and work legally.

This lady who granted this interview is stupid, dumb Nd brainless.

How i wish the home office could do their job and revoke her visa cos she is foolish not to understand that buying that visa is even a crime.

Some Nigerians are just so freaking stupid.

Thank God for nairaland, I could have fallen victim to this japa craze.

I really want to travel but my biggest fear has always been what if things are not as they say?

I am 30yrs old with HND. So far I am hustling on my own it's not easy but gradually I invest here and there to improve my income I get roughly 250 to 500k monthly but the economy and responsibilities drain it..

Recently my brothers came up with a Canada travel offer via conference.

After listening to the agent talk that after the conference they will seek lmia job for me. He sounded like its very easy.


I began my research and here discovered that it's not as easy as he painted it and also I followed chorkor millionaire on YouTube and learnt alot.

At my age I can't afford to make terrible decisions now and considering I would be selling everything and shutting down my business to fund the travel Omo I told my family that I won't be pushing through with the travel plans if it is not through study route and they are all looking at me like village pple have gotten me

If you have the chance to leave please do but be ready to build your life from the scratch. Laslas you will be glad you did.

Nigeria does not provide job security or business security.

Politicians, yahoo boys, as well as very few fortunate ones make it in the long run through serious sweat.

Why didn't you Invest that money on yourself
Own your own business that'll fetch you daily income.




She is dumb.

First off it is illegal to pay for COS(Certificate of Sponsorship)

When you do then be ready to come with no expectation of a job AND BE READY TO DO ANY NOBLE JOB you can get which includes but not limited to cleaning.

But many Nigerians are so shallow in their reasoning and very very impatient.

If only they know that coming to the UK with work permit for 5 years in itself is golden, they will care less if a particular job is waiting for them.

If home office decides to do their job, they will revoke her visa and police will tell her to take her sponsors to court to get her money back because it is a civil matter.

She will lose in both ways.

You guys should stop making baseless arguments.

When you come to UK and want to live in 3 bed apartment, want to drive a car, keep buying what you don't need....

You will end up spending more than you should

An average person making 1500 after tax will pay a rent of £600 (all bills inclusive) meaning gas, electricity, high speed WiFi, water, and so on included in the rent.


Feed very well with 200 and put another 200 aside for misc.

You will be left with 500 pounds savings.

Now if you have a good job in NHS or other good sectors you can make over 2k after tax... Now do the maths.

If you now have a supportive wife and you move outside London, you will be saving even more

Let's get this straight.
Western people know that Everybody needs help. But they institutionalised their helping system..
Evrybodu can get help in multiple ways. Student loans for school, credit card for business, or charity for sick/disabled people, even homeless shelter.
The family members might not help each other because they know, you can just go and get whatever help money from government.
And if government refuses you, it must be because you have a bad habit you have refused to change that is maintaning a low credit score for you. Probably a drug addict or something similar.
They also have PATREON website, where you write your ideas and people donate to help your business.
I didn't think we Nigerians can get any help from that patreon for Nigerian business. It is meant for western people for western stuff. Dollar to Dollar transactions..
So, yes they do help. But in an organised way without favoritism..

haba Bro let's not be selfish please. forget the packaging and background this guys are struggling

See how people just assume falsehood. over 80% on tax and bills.

The problem is that many Nigerians living in UK have no right to work so you are bound to suffer if you are not fortunate.

If you sell your properties for 50 million to come to UK with full rights to work, you have made a wise decision cos you will make that money back in less than 3 years working in the UK especially if you have a wife to join forces with.
