what about the taxes collected from some? anything to show for it?

How can there be anything to show for it, when the taxpayers are not concerned enough to engage adequately in the political, democratic and governance processes?

Is that not what ordinary whites do

PART 4: Welcome To The UK


The plane landed Heathrow airport some few minutes past 5AM. The first shocker for me was that everywhere (the sky) was fully bright. I was literally expecting the gradually fading dark cloud but it all brightness.

PART 5: It's Time To Shop

It's the first morning after my first night in the UK. Prayers were made, more gists were downloaded from where we stopped the night before , and of course there was food to eat.

Yes! 5AM was super bright again...I was yet to come terms with the weather pattern.

The plan for the day was to go to and collect my BRP Card, buy some household items and possibly go for some sight seeing.

We left home around 12 noon. Our first point of call was the Post Office to pick up the BRP card.

The intra-city bus ticket sells for 4.60pounds. It let's you go anywhere with the yellow buses for 24 hours from the time of activation. You're advised to greet the driver when entering and leaving the bus. You can plan your movement with an app. There are Yellow and Blue buses.

First lesson: every area and address has structured postcode. You can do almost nothing without knowing your postcode. The post office woman asked me, and I was dumbfounded until my partner came to my rescue. Time is a luxury here.

From the post office, we went to different stores (Wilko, Tesco, British Heart Foundation...) to buy some items. Some were heavy duty stuff and would be delivered. We spent about 200pounds that. I think it was worth it.

By the time we were done, we were famished. We grabbed some fries at KFC then proceeded to the bus stop for a ride back home.

The wait was quite long, so we decided to use a taxi and paid about 11pounds. It was much ooo.

We could't go for any sight seeing as it was almost 6pm and we were tired.

good point.

The dominant condition for the visa is that your partner must have legal right to stay in the UK, then you can apply.

PART 4: Welcome To The UK


The plane landed Heathrow airport some few minutes past 5AM. The first shocker for me was that everywhere (the sky) was fully bright. I was literally expecting the gradually fading dark cloud but it all brightness. With that brightness came light cold, announcing the arrival to the cold country. Nobody tell me to wear jacket right from the plane before disembarking.

Upon disembarking, I walked for few minutes, joined the airport train service conveying passengers to the spot of their choice - arrivals (baggage collection) OR connecting flights. After getting off the train �, there was another short walk which leads to the immigration checks corridor.

First shocker: there was a different service centre for passengers holding a UK, US, EU, Japan and a few other countries' passport. It was a fast and stress-free process. On the flip side, holders of other countries' passport had to join a long, slow-moving line for their immigration clearance. There were just two immigration officers attending to the numerous passengers as at the time, maybe becos it was early in the morning. To reduce the waiting time, the immigration assistant had to come to the long queue area to announce/check if there are holders of the aforementioned countries' passport, so they can be moved to the "special/fast" side...No one signified. She later to ask everyone with a BRP to go over to the fast lane. A couple of people moved there. But then, the general queue was still long. So, she started picking people from the long queue to the other space in bits. More officers begin to arrive at their work stations, making the line a bit faster. Quite a lot of people got tired waiting in queue but everyone had to choice but to chill. While all these was going on, there was this immigration officer that was really grilling people, taking his time and asking questions, while others clearing passengers really fast. I was praying not to be directed to him after waiting for such a long time. Just as the "long-griller" was about calling me, another officer called me. I was happy.

I approached the officer's cubicle, greeted him and presented my passport to him. He checked my passport and visa page several times, types on his PC, then ask why I'm in the UK and where I'll be staying amongst other questions. I answered him, then he stamped my passport and returned it, then said have a great time in England. I Collected my doc and proceeded to collect my bags...That was quite easy as I had tagged my bags.

Oh! Trolleys were free in Heathrow, UK. But they're often paid for in Lagos, Nigeria. How so?


Anyway, picking up my bags, I proceeded to terminal five to wait for my partner. After a few minutes, I went to the restroom and by then my partner was already in the airport to pick me up. I finished up in the restroom then proceeded to meet my partner, and boom, it was indeed a moment of joy and estacy.

We drove home, gisting and admiring each other...Love is sweet biko!

your partner belle go just dey sweet....na the bed go suffer tonight.

just now now you done turn motivational speaker. Indeed, there's nothing there and Una go go and Una no go gree return

When you really travel around ,you go hate Nigerian Politicians,we have no reason to leave Naija if not for the destruction those fools have caused here,talking from experience.

Nice tread

You just brought memories of my first day in the UK

I can never forget, the 400 naira i carry enter this country is saved up somewhere in my house as souvenir.

Everything was new and pure in my eyes

Welcome to the UK bro

That's also a valid question.

Nigeria has revenue generation, management and debt problems.

Leaders must think of how to optimise the current resources, generate more and reduce the debt burden.

Citizens must also be willing to sacrifice.

15 Litres? Wetin happen?

Reduce the quantity. Freeze the oil and hope immigration checks don't detect and throw it away.

Honestly, you'll find good palm oil to buy there.

Welcome to the UK bro

Congratulations.You have carefully concealed your gender for reasons best known to you.It's okay anyway since that's what you want.

I want to appreciate you for the information you have freely disseminated, especially the way things go when one arrives Heathrow.

I was with my partner � at the airport in Lagos in January this year when the UK call came knocking. So I was ardently involved in the process till departure. What happened in Heathrow is what I can't say anything about.

I am also due to relocate and join my partner next week,so the information you shared here has helped a great deal.

Congratulations once again and may we succeed in the Queen's land in Jesus name.

Hi Guys, i just got admission into Bangor University MSc in computing. Can anybody enlighten me as regards life in UK where the school is situated? I also work in Nigerian Breweries as a full time employee. Please should i leave for the place or still face my job?

Brewery is a good company to work with. And to cap it all, you are a full staff. That's rare for most youths.

Apply for a study leave, go and study, if you get a better job in the UK, stay. If not, return to Nigeria a better person to the NB in terms of qualifications and continue your job. Your promotion will even be steady.

You can deviate from the standard a bit depending on how smart you are .

Anyways enjoy, e go soon tire you.

Dont understand your mention?

mmsen:


Which county is not 'predominantly white' in the UK?

There are parts of UK that are not predominantly white. Anyone who lives here knows what I mean. Heard of Bradford, Barking, Thamesmead, Woolwich, Peckham, Hackney etc? Whilst white people will always be in the majority there are so many other ethnicities that it almost feels like they are are more than whites in those places. Understand now?

part 7: I miss Nigeria

No shouting here, no noise, no horning and no generator. Let's not talk about food.

lightnlife:
You wish.

Not my first nor second.

Assumption is the lowest form of knowledge.



Honestly, Nigeria has a lot of natural and human edge ahead of most of the developed countries.

The unfortunate reality of systemic failure, infrastructural deficit, insecurity, economic and social frailty are what is responsible for the mass migration. Not for these reasons, many Nigerians would rather stay back home. There's nothing cheering here.

U v said it all.l v been traveling out since in d nineties n v never been comfortable in white man country.call it what you want but I can't trade my freedom (those over there will understand what am saying).my eldest daughter currently school abroad n she doesn't share my view..well dts her problem.l always go n come back.Am in my late forties

BA’s food is terrible. Virgin is slightly better. The Nigerian airlines( Arik, Belview, Medview) were much much better food wise but sadly no longer operate this route. Welcome to the UK, whereabouts are you?

Are you a man or woman, mind you, she came to leave with her partner.
