Lol. I see the gentleman up above has deleted his rant, but he's correct to an extent - while other countries are going through some issues, the UK is unique in suffering all at the same time (except the energy bills one, if truly Truss is going to do what she says to keep them down somewhat). It's about time the NHS moved to a system whereby people pay something to see a GP, to reduce the pressure on A&Es and hopefully incentivise the GPs to see more of them, and the housing situation is really insane now - Boris has let in about 1.5 million people in just 2 years and they all have to live somewhere. I think the calculation was that if the UK's native born population is falling, its easier to import new Britons than to convince the people to birth them, what with insane childcare costs and other wahala. All in all, the Home Office is still collecting visa fees from students, the universities are waxing fat on tuition, and brutal survival of the fittest is going to operate in the next 2 years to determine which of the students make a return from the school fees investment and who doesn't. 10 Likes |

mystikal: Before pandemic , officially you can pay £100 in addition for express and get the passport same day. Dont know if they still do that Since its urgent, best to go to Nigeria house early morning and spend the whole day there. They might drive you, but you beg , insist or disturb until they answer you to capture that day. That how I would handle it 1 Like |

ugoonuoha: hustla:To the gentleman that mentioned Canada. For a minutes I thought OP was actually describing Canada. First world experiences are similar. The listed reasons should not be the reasons why you decide to jump ship. Canadian experiences below: - You won't wait months to see a GP (family doctor in Canada). You may wait a few days or weeks sometimes to get an appointment to see your GP. If you walk-in without appointment, one can see a GP after waiting a couple of hours and on specific days of the week, but they won't refer if a specialist is required if he/she is not your GP. If you were able to get an appointment to see your own GP and you get a referral, it could take another average of 2 months to see a specialist doctor. In addition, getting an elective surgery done could be years away. Some people with money just fly to the USA. Finally, getting a GP to accept you as a patient can also take months or years (depending on province). So if one has no GP, the patient will have to rely on emergency room doctors to get referrals to a specialist. To see an Emergency room doctor can take 6 hours or more if the patients case is not life threatening. Triage nurses would triage accordingly. - Calling a government agency in Canada. Good lord - I hope you have atleast 2 hours of your day to spare before they pick up. - CIC Canada are very notorious for visa issuance, PR and any sort of visa applications. Be ready to wait months, years, and they do not care if you are a student resuming at a specific time. They would take their time. Visit visa can take 6 months to process and student visa can equally be of similar timelines. - booking a driver's test could be maybe one month to 6 weeks as well. Patience is key. - Housing. Despite the high rent, It's not uncommon for landlord to conduct credit checks, ask for 3 references including work reference from husband and wife, full month deposit, payslips, employment letters e.t.c before even inviting you for a viewing and there could be 50 other viewing the same apartment or house. Luckily, there are people with cold and damp basements that have less stringent requirements. Don't even try to get on gov subsidized housing except you are ready to wait 2 years and up. - Taxes. Same same. Very high 18 Likes |
