"Black British babes go become hot commodity" seriously

Gerrard59:
Yes, I later realised with my last comment before this one. I had to check the Financial Times to be sure. The increment is brutal, I won't lie. Permanent residency o, not citizenship. Black British babes go become hot commodity out-competiting cocoa.

If it's not clear at this stage then I don't think anything they say will make it clearer. The writing has been on the wall for a very long time.

EvergreenDiarie:
They should just tell us that they don't want immigrants in their country na.

I think the doubling from 5 years to 10 years is for ILR/settlement not citizenship, it's not clear yet what changes they are proposing for ILR to citizenship.

"This expansion of the Point-Based System will increase the standard qualifying period for settlement to ten years."

Gerrard59:
I had to search your moniker to say "take your flowers". You predicted it and it happened.

Ten years to become a naturalised British citizen!

This is a non story, it was used tissue paper that he removed so it's not in the photo they were taking but many gullible idiots will take whatever they read on social media as gospel and not apply eve a tiny bit of common sense to reach their own conclusion.

papyjaypaul:
I've been seeing this video on my feed. Some people will be very happy with this. When it comes to bad examples, they love the saner climes. When it comes to good things for Africans, they go insane.

Apply common sense, this decision has been a long time in the making and has nothing to do with Trump. I guess Universal's decision to start work in Bedfordshire in the UK is also due to Trump even though they have been doing feasibility studies etc. for a few years now.

And Disney expanding abroad benefits the US economy, Disney will pay taxes in the US and continue to grow. Can you see how Nigeria suffers when foreign companies try to repatriate their profits back home?

Bar1941:
Since baby Trump scared off potential tourists to the State, Disney had to start thinking of opening up branches in other places to survive.

The US generates a lot of revenue via tourism and international studies but these are gradually fading off.

Your concerns are valid and that is a very risky move for him. Having his own home will make his life easier in his olden age, but having to rent makes life a lot harder. And the UK is not a sure thing nowadays, many people struggle to get good paying jobs after graduation especially because they need to be sponsored for work permit so its not guaranteed to say you will be in a position to buy or build him another house in a few years.

What are your alternative options, can you source the money from somewhere else or can you get through your undergrad in Nigeria and work towards masters later? Or consider other countries with lower costs?

Having said all that, at the end of the day it's his decision if he continues to insist, you can only make sure you work hard and try to get yourself earning so that the sacrifice is not in vain and you can repay him in the future.

Tolezy001:
Hello everyone, I’m in a tough situation and would really appreciate your thoughts.

I’m 25 years old, and ever since I got an unconditional admission offer my father has been determined to sell his only house to fund my travel to the UK. Despite my repeated attempts to convince him otherwise, he insists that this is the best way to secure my future. While I deeply appreciate his sacrifice and belief in me, I can’t help but worry about the risks.

Selling his only home means he will have nowhere to fall back on if things don’t go as planned. And as much as I want to explore better opportunities abroad, I don’t want to see him struggle or regret this decision later.

What would you do in my situation? Do you think this sacrifice is worth it? I’d love to hear different perspectives, especially from those who have been in a similar position or understand the realities of starting over in a new country.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Definitely, as long as they continue to keep his main organs going he will remain in coma but obviously he already has brain damage so he's just a vegetable.

A famous person was Joe Colombo who used to be a Mafia boss in the US and got shot, he was in coma for 7 years before he passed away. I'm not sure if he finally passed away for to deteriorating health or if his family decided to end things.

nicho450:
Can someone be in coma for such a long time?

Congratulations but you should take into consideration that applying for a H1b visa is very different from applying for a visit visa or student visa which majority of Nigerians on this site are applying for.

As someone who has gone through the L1b process I know for a fact that for H1b, you’ve already gone through multiple steps before you get to the visa application stage at the embassy, and if your company is an established company which I’m sure it is they also have immigration lawyers involved.

For a H1b visa by the time you’re applying for the visa your case is very straightforward unless there are issues that come up.

Also for a H1b visa you don’t have to prove ties to your country because a H1b visa has immigration intent unlike a visit visa where you have to show ties to your country and prove that you plan to come back after your visit.

For a visit visa the first contact with US immigration authorities is when you apply for the visa at the embassy but for H1b there are multiple steps before the embassy stage where you’ve been vetted including being picked in the H1b lottery etc before you get to the final step of applying for the visa at the embassy.

Anyway good luck with the move and hope everything works out.

Luap2025:
It's of note to state here that if you've genuine reason, you'll get your Visa.

Consular: Pass me your Appointment Slip, Passport
Me: I did

Consular: Your i797
Me: Again, I passed it to her

Consular: Purpose of Travelling
Me: I've a job offer in the US

Consular: What is qualifications?
Me: I mentioned

Consular: Your salary
Me: As stated on my DS160

Consular: Where will you be working
Me: I mentioned my Work place in the US

Consular: Are you traveling alone
Me: No, I'm traveling with my wife

Consular: Why don't you apply for her.
Me: I explained to her the bank couldn't processed my wife's visa fee payment on time, so she couldn't get appointment. She then asked me where's my wife, I told her, she's outside the premises.

Consular: ( she looked around, and after sometime, wrote in a paper to bring in my wife)

I brought her to the consular. My wife and I passport were collected. We're issued H1B & H4 Visa respectively.

Thanks.

Lol please stop. The aim of the tariffs coupled with other policies such as tax policies etc. is to encourage companies both US and foreign companies to increase production in the US.

Your statement that the EU industrial sector is stronger than the US aside EV and weapons makes absolutely no sense, nd my point remains the buyer has the upper hand here not the seller. If as you say the EU has better industrials, they need to sell their products right? So unless they have a ready market to soak up falling demand from the US they have to work with the US to retain access and sell. The tariffs puts their access at risk because it will make their products more expensive, so unless they have lots of products with no competition or alternatives the average person will be driven by prices and their sales will fall.

Many EU companies and also American companies are already dealing with falling demand from China as the Chinese prioritize and push local brands, I can assure you that they cannot withstand falling demand in the US as well without significant impact.

Xisnin:
Where in my post did I talk about access to market?
Do you guys even read the topic before responding?
I said, the US industrial sector will lose badly in zero tariff regime apart from electric vehicles
and weapons, you ignored that and you brought up a strawman on who import or export what.
How is that relevant?

If you think I am wrong, talk specifically about the tariff and the EU counter deal and how
you think a zero tariff will benefit the US more in the industrial sector in relation to the EU.

Share your proof here. You've taken a random post on X from an unknown as gospel yet you claim Trump supporters are stupid

Goke7:
Someone wey don fold by suggesting a 90-day pause on the tariffs 😂 Dey play

Hahaha ok you're a troll

Well done.

Kaiser20:
For information EU can do more than the US IS doing today
Europe will Not Miss the USA If they poll out NATO.
Only Africa will Miss the USA

not true, the EU need access to the US market. Let me give you a practical example.

Mercedes which is one of Germany's biggest exporters sold about 2.4 million vehicles last year and their biggest markets are China with 683k cars and the US with 324k cars.

If you look at the link below you will see that the number of cars sold to China fell 7% because foreign car makers like Mercedes are being squeezed out as the Chinese prioritize local car brands especially EV cars. I have a friend who was in China recently and he said it was Chinese EV cars everywhere. Demand falling 7% in one tear is a MASSIVE loss and I can assure you that this is the beginning. The Chinese are pushing aggressively for access to the EU market and if they get in the likes of Mercedes will suffer even more. There is no way they can compete with the Chinese on price, no way at all.

My point, carmakers like Mercedes are already being squeezed out of China, I can assure you they will be hurt bad if they are also squeezed out of the US market. The tariffs will make their cars 25% more expensive than other cars produced in the US so unless you really really really want a Mercedes the average person will be driven by price. In this case Mercedes needs to protect that access to the US market, they cannot afford to be squeezed out at all and the EU and Germany know this. Mercedes does not have a ready market to mop up the demand fall from the US and China.

And you can see in some responses from various carmakers that they are wither committing to or considering expanding their production or moving production to the US to escape the tariffs. This will help keep the cost of their cars lower, improve technology know how for the American workforce and create jobs in the US.

The tariffs coupled with the proposed tiered corporate tax rates for products manufactured in the US v imported and things like tax credits for buying cars made in the US will all have an impact.

While I am not a fan of the erratic approach here I can tell you that the buyer has the upper hand here and the US is the biggest consumer market at the moment. As a buyer the choice I face is "damn I can't buy the Mercedes I really want so I have to buy a Ford". The choice facing the car manufacturers outside is to cut jobs and shut factories as demand fall. Most of the carmakers in Mexico and Canada are there primarily for access to the US market through NAFTA not for Canada or Mexico.

I would rather have to choose a car I don't want than lose my job.

And this can be replicated across many other companies and sectors. And frankly many of these countries have protectionist policies eg Canadian banks make nearly 50% of their revenue in the US, BMO, TD etc. but US banks are restricted in Canada to protect the market for Canadian banks. France is one of the most protectionist countries on earth lol

Xisnin:
I suppose EU just said this to fulfill all righteousness.

Trump may likely push back at first.
Apart from electric vehicles and weapons, US have no other advantage over the EU.
A zero tariff on industrial goods will mostly "benefit" the EU.

Waiting for the pro-tariff Trump-supporter to make a U-turn immediately dear leader
changes his mind and tell us that tariffs are no longer good.

The story makes no sense, 7 years to get his first job sounds extreme, so what has he been doing find the last 7 years?

The only thing I can think of is he was applying only for jobs he wasn’t qualified for.

Love800:
Why is getting a job in the UK hard?

Trump and Marco Rubio have both said Ukraine will be at the table. US and Russia met to start the discussions which also includes wider topics like restarting diplomatic relationships and reopening embassies etc.

Zelensky knows he has no bargaining chip and is just barking. And if he wants US security guarantee after negotiations the US will need something from it, if can't be free.

The EU have taken the piss to a long time expecting the US to carry the bulk of security funding for Europe.

princeade86:
Why will u want to make a peace without person that involved? Is not good na.

How?

There is no end to the war without NATO boots on the ground and NATO boots on the ground is pretty much WWIII so that's not an option

The other option is to continue a proxy war which is pretty much at a stalemate, costing billions and lots of lives.

I think Trump's approach makes sense, end the war with concessions on both sides. Don't forget after all the billions spent fighting Ukraine will still need billions more to rebuild.

The war can end with security guarantee for Ukraine by the US to prevent future attacks.

Trump has done way more than Obama did when Putin took crimea 😂. What did Biden do? Fund a war to stalemate?

Look at all the European leaders scrambling so they are not left out of the room after 3 years of no progress. And acting angry when time after time the US has asked to meet the spending obligation you made to NATO and they refused. Goodluck foreign their European army. They will spend sag more than the 2% of GDP they refused to spend and end up fighting because Macron wants to be the statesman of Europe v Germany.

God1000:
Interesting times, let's see how this will play out

Europe has been stabbed at the back this time by their American friends, Donald trump is so stupid

Honor they deserved 😂 it's all for show.

Didn't he say he was sending his presidential jet then he sends military planes. As I said it's all for show, let's see how long he continues to send planes and besides that's great for the US, take your people simple.

They did all the photo opps when they landed and that's it, they will get no help at all, nothing and they will be back in the same situation that led them to desperately move to the US illegally, nothing will change for them in Colombia.

The same country that claims they deserve honor is the same country that drove them to travel through dangerous circumstances risking their lives against gang and cartel attacks to end up living in the shadows illegally in another country and some committing crimes.

Jovi10:
He didn't allow the planes Dumbo. He went to pick up his citizens with the Honor they deserved.

Hahahaha, they are just a rounding error 😂

dust144:
Just leave the two Gabon

Hahaha keep joking, and how long did it take for him to revert and allow the planes? Do you think h can use his presidential jet to fly every single Colombian that is being deported 😂, it was all for show.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/01/26/politics/colombia-tariffs-trump-deportation-flights

That's from CNN that isn't a fan of Trump.

They are lucky he didn't send them to El Salvador, you know the El Salvadorian president doesn't take nonsense and will ship them to Colombia 😂.

Jovi10:
Wether for show or not. He passed the message and the USA had no choice than to fly the plane back to America😁😁😁🤪🤪

All the Columbian president did is just for show so he can tell his people he is not weak, it makes absolutely no difference. He said he will send his presidential jet to pick them right? I will take him seriously when he commits to use his jet to fly all of them back not just one flight for show.

It's very simple, countries can send charter flights to pick their people if they are not happy with the way the US is sending them back.

A good president cares off his people yet he has a ton of them living illegally in another country 😂

Jovi10:
That's because our country Nigeria does not have any reputation in the global phase.. we know get level so why won't they treat us any how. A good president of a country that cares about his people have said he won't take that and he didn't take it. It's better to come pick up his people himself. Western slave wake up.

Deportation of illegal immigrants have always involved use of handcuffs and it's also for everyone safety. Also don't forget the first batch of people being reported are those accused of being criminals.

Picture a plane full of people who are criminals many violent being forcefully deported, do you think it makes sense for them to be allowed to roam free like they are commercial passengers? What happens if they try to overpower the authorities on the plane?

And do you know what irritates me about all this, the same Mexico is very tough on immigration, they allow people who they know are going to the US border but they are very tough and prevent people staying in their country illegally.

God1000:
no one is saying illegal immigrants should not be deported, but why chaining them like subhumans, you don't treat people in such manner, America of all countries should not be doing that


There are diplomatic channels and due process to follow, you can't just bundle people and put them on the plane without informing the host country, it is disrespectful and inhuman

Both Columbia and US are allies, trust me this will backfire on America soon, you Trump supporters are the biggest clowns I've ever seen, you have no clue how the world works, everything is gra gra and firebrigade approach


Imagine south Africa treating our people this way

And it's going to drop further with Trump's plan to drill baby drill. This means the US will revert back to being a net exporter and try to bring down prices.

As I said in your lie you claim he signed a bill instead of an executive order.

justwise:
It’s called executive order, Trump signed many of it yesterday. It doesn’t need to go through congress.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyjqgl2erzo

Why do you lie like this? And besides he cannot sign a bill without it going through Congress, even in your lie you can't get it right, you meant executive order not bill 😆

Don't mind those posters trying to defend countries that expect the US to protect their citizens even though they are undocumented lol

Even Mexico knows many of its citizens in the US and undocumented and they know that they don't have jobs for them if they return to Mexico so they try to do bravado like it's their right for their citizens to be allowed to be undocumented in the US.

helinues:
Is this not the article itself or there is more to this?

Undocumented, she even had the guts to say that. Would Honduras allowed undocumented immigrants in their country?

Toneypen247:
Is this a new trend?

Yes to bring people over to sustain their economy, there isn't any 400k gap for highly paid skill work that's a lie, the same as Canada they need immigrants to come push up their economy.

If you look at Canada if you strip out the effects of immigrant spending over the past 10 or so years their GDP has actually fallen and you can see it with GDP per capital falling due to increased population.

No country is calling for immigrants out of the kindness of their hearts it because they have jobs that their citizens don't want to do and they are facing declining population due to people having fewer kids, falling productivity due to their citizens lacking the drive to work hard etc.

Fortunately or unfortunately countries like Nigeria, India etc face the opposite problem with high populations and lack of jobs etc so that's why they target those countries.

[i]Despite this, he discovered that the cost of rent in Nigeria is much more affordable. In fact, what he spends on one month’s rent in the U.S. could easily cover a year-long lease in Nigeria,[/i]



When they make statements like this I conclude that they don't have common sense. I will take him seriously when he moves to Nigeria not the typical make videos for Instagram attention.

eepeepook:
His dollars will do well for our economy. Now, he can go home.

They did the same thing in 2016 but how many moved? 😂

Heffalump:
When Joe Biden won in 2020, no talks of Americans leaving the United States in droves. Now, Trump won in 2024 and japa syndrome has hit back at the Americans just like in 2016 DT won.

Shows there's something we're not seeing.

The federal cases will be dropped before he is inaugurated and the state cases remains to be seen but chances of anything happening is slim.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14050341/amp/trump-criminal-cases-closed-jack-smith-white-house.html

The Georgia cases have kinda stalled especially since the Scandal with the DA, and there cases were really pished to try to make him unelectable, given he has won the interest to continue pursuing will fizzle and die.

He will also probably pardon himself before he leaves office.

SmartPolician:
How can the POTUS, the most powerful person in the world, be in the witness box answering questions from lawyers? So, what will happen now is that Trump will change the heads of agencies pressing charges against him. As a result, they'll drop the cases.

So, the Congress should pass a bill compelling institutions trying a new leader to continue with the case, irrespective of who heads the agency. That's how a country builds a strong institution.

That was demolishion, I didn't see it coming at all.

This has got to be it for AJ, I don't see him fighting for a title anymore. The Ngannou and Otto Wallin fights seem like ages ago now and confirms they were just mediocre opponents.

That's the mindset that will keep Nigerians stuck in this never ending corruption. What has he don't to be able to donate N500? Like that and if it is his father's money it's still questionable, why didn't the father do ate it instead of going through back end channel. The president donating through his son is shady and wrong, we should be asking for transparency.

The same mindset that will people suddenly make money from yahoo yahoo but we will keep our head in the same and pretend nothing is wrong. The same mindset that will see pastors getting richer and richer but we pretend nothing is wrong and keep tanking God.

We're not ready.

DeLaRue:
In a private capacity I guess.

Other private citizens have gone there and donated money.

Did you ask them in what capacity.

That said, it is possible thar is his father's personal contribution. Since his father is uniquely tied to his role as President and can't make a personal contribution, he probably did through his son.

Their personal money. Their choice.

Nigerians spray money in clubs as well? 😂🤣😅🤣
