Gemma11: You're actually the one with a rubbish stance. You're saying Nigerian students are flooding student accommodations with their whole families, so why is there such a huge demand for 2-3 bed properties around the country, with the available properties turning into bidding wars, and properties going at 30-70k over asking? I really don't understand why you're crying more than the bereaved. If the UK government so feels that the net economic benefits of immigrant students is far less than the strain they're causing to the system, let them put a stop to it. Nigerians will simply go elsewhere; it has happened before. If all your pain is because an immigrant child took your kid's spot in school, well, my advice is work harder, so you can send the child to Eton. Pele dear, don't be the village people, they pray against. 18 Likes |

justwise: So Nigerian citizens should take priority over British citizens because they paid? In any case there are many British citiizens who have paying into the NHS for years and they have never used it so your logic is off. 1 Like |

kode12: You didn't make any sense...most importantly you didn;t even understand what I wrote because where did I say that they were flooding student accomodation? Student accomodation is readily available..the issue is, such accomodation is not meant to house families..what part of that don't you understand? In the meantime Nigerians are complaining that they can't find accommodation but that is because they either can't afford it or do not have UK credit records or a guarantor. Again the sense of entitlement is astounding. Crying more than the bereaved? I have been paying taxes here for how many years and I have every right to have an opinion on how they are used. The UK will soon stop this nonsense sha. Nigerians should stay where they are and fix their country instead of running over here to complain and over use resources. |

iboboyswag:Haba .. that a lie We are all Nigerians on this platform… Once in a while , let learn how to speak the truth na… most Nigerians are seeking student visas because they want to settle down permanently in the UK. No intentions of returning back home with the MSc certificate… lie lie … my cousin wey enter yesterday is already thinking of bringing his girlfriend along to start family… ![]() Infact if not that the UK is strict with dia student visa policy, a lot of Nigerians on student visa will abscond school after few months of arrival . 1 Like |

Josh121: Not every black Nigerian person 'came' to the UK. Some of us are born and raised in this land. My parents were paying Uk taxes long before I was born here in London. I am now also paying my own share....na you get bad belle..lol Anyway the reason why I contributed to this thread was just to help genuine students and Nigerian immigrants answer questions about life in the UK not those who want to play ojoro to fleece the system. |

Gemma11: Nigerians are double charged and they are not entitled to public fund while British citizens use NHS even if they don't pay a penny, A lot of British citizens rather sit on their lazy backsides and claim benefit rather than take those jobs Nigerians students do. Nigerians student visa holders pay for everything till they get resident paper. British govt charge those Nigerians even for sending emails or calls to find out about their visa application. So stop this Nigerians are taking this and that because you got no clue what they go through to survive here. 20 Likes 1 Share |

Gemma11: The same way the British ran away from Britain to Nigeria and other part of the world to colonise them the difference here is that they did not apply for visa. Only armed themselves with bible pretending to be missionaries only to steal and loot. Many cities in the UK were developed from materials stolen from Africa, look around royal family and you will see one or two stolen item from Africa. Yes majority of British are damm lazy and would prefer claiming benefit than working hard. 27 Likes |

My cousin bro just recently moved there … in as much I was against it because his first degree in Nigeria is not health or IT related. You don't need a degree in IT or health care or a degree at all to work in those industries.
That's not true. It was mooted and no decision has been taken. Told this young man , he will be better off trying to hustle for a German visa or even Australia visa or any EU country with flexible PR option.A lot of people make that mistake until reality sets in. On the whole, your cousin will do well if he/she knows what they are doing. 1 Like |
