Good evening all. I am an electrical engineer with experience on electrical installation and maintenance on buildings. Please how do I go about getting a tier 2 visa. As I'm still in Nigeria, is it possible to get a job with sponsorship? Any electrical engineer over there please help |

LagosismyHome: Hmmm, honestly I don't know how that will turn out at the end, because over here in the UAE they have so manipulated the system to favour majorly their nationals, when the Indians take charge, I bet you they take charge in full. 1 Like |

Aprokodaughter: That's one thing I admire about them here, they don't even try to emulate anyone, instead they will introduce and Implement their own system and techniques. And most importantly, pave way for other Indians to come and occupy any vacuum. They keep the thread going from one set to another till they take full charge. They replicate this in all sectors. 5 Likes 1 Share |

They are just suffering from same thing Nigeria is suffering from “Corruption by people in power”. Any country wey China de fight. Investigate that country, cos China get eyes well well and them know people wey go take over the world last last. |

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by TheGuyFromHR: 6:46am On Jan 02, 2022 |
Chreze: Geniuses kwa? I've nothing against India or the disparate groups of people who make up that country (it's a multi-ethnic country like Nigeria and they also have their own stereotypes of the various nationalities the same way we stereotype our northerners or riverine peoples), but I certainly don't see how a country which is simply making strides by following up on western technological developments can be described as being a home of geniuses. There are 1.2 billion Indians, yielding a workforce that is enough to overwhelm any sector. So if a mere 5% of their active population decides to specialise in coding and programming and whatnot that's already 60 million people, larger than the populations of most European countries. And their educational curriculum, which focuses on learning maths the old way gives them an edge in transferring those skills, where learnt, to IT and numerate disciplines. Nothing more than that. What the average Indian here has, no different from the average Nigerian or Ghanaian or South African, is the drive to succeed because of where they are coming from. The west is of course decadent, the UK is no longer the country it was in the 19th century when it ran its empire, then their people were high-minded, ready to undergo deprivations and so forth in pursuit of an idealised goal. So people like the Chinese and Indians who are still driven and focused will definitely make more progress than the west will in many ways, but not because they are any different - the British who came to Africa and Asia and assaulted their populations and seized their lands by force were not geniuses, superhuman or different from any other people, they were just focused on their grand plan to dominate the world. And decadence comes in cycles - the same way the west achieved so much when it was focused, then began to rot when it had 'made' it, is the same thing that will happen after China (and maybe India) achieve their own dominance - they will have it for a while, then their societies too will also lose focus. The only sad thing is that there does not seem to be a place for Africa in this narrative for the forseeable future. 8 Likes |

LagosismyHome: Would that be a bad thing? The Celts were very different from the Normans. Demographics change constantly. That is the way of the world. People who fight it end up on the villain side of history. Have you ever had jellied eels? But I bet you ve had curries. I don't mind Indian Britain. Better food and more expressive coworkers.

LagosismyHome: Nigerians too should do it if it's easy From my experience with them, if you say A+B = C, they want to know why it's so.. And why C + B can also be equal to A I think it's just their environment and how their school system is Hopefully, Nigeria can get to that level Someday |

From what our seniors here have said, and what I heard on blogs, I can say the indians are just like the people from the northern part of Nigeria. They always look for ways to accommodate their own. That is the reason people from the North will keep going higher in any area you find them in Nigeria and not because of intelligence. The southerners will always fight themselves with pull him down syndrome and we unknowingly take this out . I read a story in a group where a lady decided not stay with the elder sister who lives with two kids and her husband in a four bedroom duplex The plan by the elder sister was that the lady will live it her while the lady pays her fees herself. But because of what the lady perceived during her visit she decided not to stay According to her, when the sister comes to Nigeria they sleep on the same bed. But when she visited uk, the sister gave her mattress to sleep on the floor in the same room. Even though the bed could accommodate two people comfortably. I think we should watch it and not complain about uk opening the flood gate of indians. If it were to be a Nigerian, that had the power to influence things, will he or she do that for his or her countrymen? Let's just continue to sip tea and continue kicking my brothers out. 4 Likes |

Good morning. Happy first Sunday of the year. I need quick advice on flight option. What are my limitations in refere to the Airline, transit, and cost. These are my research and option at hand; Emirate. (300plus in Naira 27hrs travel time) Turkish (1200 USD) Egypt (570 USD with 31hrs travel time) Egypt and Emirate would be preferred while my firm choice is Emirate because of the travel time. Any other flight suggestion will be of great help and appreciated. Thanks |

Got into UK on the 31st December 2021 with my kids to meet up with wifey and start a new life. It was an interesting journey as the kids were hyper excited all through the process till we landed at Heathrow Airport. If was a lifetime experience for us all. On 2 days isolation at Feltham at the moment hoping to move down to Colchester pretty soon and start up a new life with my family. I am grateful to God for the privilege and will never take it for granted. 25 Likes 1 Share |

hustla: If you say that the Indian interlocutors with whom you've interfaced have amazed you with their skills as compared to yours, that's one thing entirely. Extrapolating from your personal experience that this then means that citizens of that country are on a level above everyone else is a different and in my opinion most indefensible thing altogether. But again, its your opinion, and you are entitled to it. 4 Likes |
