As this is a forum where we share information, just a piece of advice for all those who are still on BRP and whose visa validity still extends beyond this year, all BRPs will expire by the end of this year please make sure you have a UKVI account where you easily generate your share code to prove your right to work, rent bla bla bla.

From what I gathered a few months ago at my workplace, another form of Windrush scandal wave may be brewing for next year, especially for those who did all their paperwork with lawyers and agents who opened ukvi accounts on their behalf, they may find it difficult to prove the right to work shit and may see themselves not been able to access regular services. For those of us who like to travel in and out of the country please avoid it early next year till the govt sort out themselves as they finally transit to a fully digitalised platform in terms of immigration services.

Remember you live in a country that never forgives! cheers

Be careful there o before they tag it as organ harvesting. Remember that Nigerian senator, name evades me now, in prison for some kidney help got from 'sokoto'.

Starts with "Ekwere" 😉

I thought Viruses suggestion was very good, but you've raised an equally good point of concern about a potential case for harvesting/trafficking. I had totally forgotten about Ekwere lol

It might still be worth the OP consulting with the clinic on the legality, feasibility and logistics of using an international egg donor, if that is something they want to consider at all, as I'm sure it has been done before.

If we can't call a spade a spade, and keep rigmaroling and being politically correct in the face of sheer anarchy, especially the one targeted directly at us, then I wonder where our dignity and courage lie!

All these started with verbal attacks, deliberate and coordinated misinformation in the media, an agenda to direct all blames on migrants, by the likes of Suella Braverman.

Some of us saw the imminent resultant effects. We knew it would one day lead to what we've witnessed in the past days. We shouted against it but some usual suspects here would rather shush us up and subtly guit-trip us for being a burden on the system and the natives. I remember figuratively saying then that if we allowed such narratives to go on unchecked, one day we'd have our fundamental human rights stripped from us, be told we need permissions of the natives to make love etc, and people would still defend such. But to some people, we were being irrational and unable to hold a 'balanced view'.

Sorry but I'm not sorry for being personal in a matter that's personal to me. I worked in one of the immigration law offices being circulated for attacks and read how terrified old colleagues were for those days. How about acid attack, chainsaw attack, arson etc.

If in the face of all these we fail to vehemently and directly condemn the act without such undertone nuances of 'deprivation', then I wonder what we stand for.

No it's not only the timing that's wrong. Beyond timing, the temerity to either subtly or boldly blame such heinous act on deprivation and a repeated attempt to sell it to us, the direct victims of it, is what I won't take.

Imagine for once going to Southport community and saying to people, 'You know I sympathise with you for your loss, but remember the murderer did what he did because he was deprived of parental love and suffered domestic abuse........' Just imagine how that would sound. Yea, that's exactly what some views on this thread have been.

You hit the nail on the head, but as usual, we don't want to hear the truth on this thread. Political correctness and cowardice are our bane as immigrants.

Goodmorning everyone, PLEASE i need your help
, My visitor’s visa for a medical exam in September was approved some days ago, but due to some circumstances i want to cancel and postpone the exam to December/january. My question is, would it in any way affect mesince the purpose of the visa was the exam in September

Just imagine how that would sound. Yea, that's exactly what some views on this thread have been.

Honestly, the last few days made me "feel" what the Jews must have felt in November 1938 during the kristallnacht/night of the broken glass. Imagine how dire the situation would have been if the police, army and government was brazenly supporting the maiming and looting of helpless immigrants??

May evil never prevail again. Sir Starmer and the native Brits who rose up against these "far right" uninformed thugs must be appreciated. The Germans failed to rise up to Hitler and his likes, and that's what led to the ultimate suffering of the Jews. As bad as things might be, Britain should be commended to an very large extent.

hustla:


What do you mean trade my Lord sir?

Thread. There's an EB1 and EB2 thread on nairaland. I'm on the path for EB2 also. Planning and gathering my evidence to meet the criteria.

AgentXxx:


I am totally in agreement with the first two paragraphs but like you stated the government and good people of Britain has assured that those thugs do not represent them.

On Zahra29 point

There is a difference betweeen having a point in a discussion and being right. In the aspect of the underlying issues, I totally agree with her, I am a science student and a law in physic states that “For every action, there is a reaction”. the debate now moves to “is that the right channel the reaction is to be directed to?” and I believe this is exactly Zahra29’s view and not like she is supporting their violence attitude when she is also prone to be a victim.

.

Thank you Agentxxx. I stated several times (although I thought it went without saying) that I did not support the violence, rioters, racism etc regardless of who it was targeted at, and that I supported swift action against the criminals;

Nothing I mentioned about the festering issues in some communities meant I was justifying their violence, attacks or vandalism (why would I, for crying out loud Worst case they should be protesting against the government, which I also stated)....but as you pointed out to me, my timing and tone was off and I took that on board.

However when people don't like you, they'll allow their emotions and bias to twist everything you say and thus they chose to run with a narrative of "Zahra is coming on a BAME platform to say that the far right thugs are justified to attack black and Asian people. She defends their actions and and she is gleeful about the attacks against black folk" 🙄

Meanwhile on the evening news yesterday, they commented that while it was good news that the riots were subsiding, issues still remained. They didn't say that the issues justified the violence. They then went on to speak to people in Barnsley. A white grandma came on TV to say that she was not far right and that she condemned the violence. She wasn't racist she said - she had mixed race grandchildren, Muslim family members etc. However, she said, "I am very angry about illegal immigrants who are being housed for free and given freebies" (her words).

So as the unrest starts to die down, the media and govt will probably shift to analysing some of these potential issues and it will become apparent if this all happened in a vacuum or if there are lingering concerns in the minds of peaceful Brits. (All the far right criminals will hopefully be in jail).

Anyways moving on lol....

How's it going with your sponsorship renewal now that the occupation code was rectified? All sorted I hope?

You still don't get it and you keep insulting our sensibilities here, what's our damn business here with illegal immigrants who are being housed for free? does the solution lie with either legal or illegal immigrants? How many people here on this thread do you know that were housed for free, please tell us perhaps you have the stats. You're making a case for a people to the wrong audience still your agenda must gend, phew

Phew indeed lol. I quoted the evening news segment that was exploring issues in certain communities....their words not mine....and you're still biting my head off.. I think you should direct your anger/ frustration/ emotions at the news station (it was either BBC or Channel 4 News, I can check) and the people they interviewed.

Have a lovely weekend.

Why are most still NOT getting the point?

She shared her opinion on the topic, a broad topic, not a dissertation on 'Nairaland living in UK thread as a case study'. Why the angst?🤣

This is not me being agreeable, cos Zahra sef know say we don disagree on some points/subjects.

If you were still in Naija, earning say 150k a month, and you find a horde of Ghanaians or Nigeriens are trooping in unabated and being treated by the FG to hospitality that your 4-months salary can't afford you, and this goes on for an extended period of time, honestly answer yourself, would you harbor some resentment towards those Ghanaians/Nigeriens?

We know the govt is the one that should be challenged and we are not saying that resorting to violence on the Ghanaians/Nigeriens is right, but are you gonna tell me in all honesty that you won't harbor resentment towards those Ghanaians/Nigeriens?

The story of the prodigal son in the Bible, a son stayed and served his father, while the prodigal son went and squandered his inheritance. He came back after hitting rock bottom and daddy took him.backwith open arms, put the finest robe on him and killed the fattest cow to celebrate. All well and good. The story is about love. Now let's add a twist, let's assume the father kept celebrating and partying and spoiling the prodigal son with gifts everyday for years, while not doing anything close to that to the son that stayed,would you as the good senior brother that stayed tell me in all honesty, tell me you won't harbor resentment towards your brother and/or your father?

Inheritance sharing lasan in some families divides them irreparably, some even seeking each others lives. Psquare wey share the same womb sef are literally sworn enemies for the most petty of reasons, much less strangers.

We are talking of human beings here, not angels. The violence is not right, and the govt are the cause we know, but human emotions will override all that, as with the two scenarios I painted up there.

Agentxxx already summed everything up well. That this non-issue still keeps dragging like this shows it's personal jare.

So how can we manage Grandma's emotions in Barnsley bayi, should we all go to Barnsley and beg Grandma that we are sorry for trooping into her country unabated so Grandma can be happy abi wetin be the solution bayi cos I don't still understand how this is our bloody business. You have even mentioned it's Govt business so what's your problem here?

If you want to hear the truth and I mentioned it already, close both the air and sea border but if you can't close it then please channel your grievances to the appropriate quarters e no concern us but if you don't gerrit forget about it.

Bossman, job search dey

Between Jan and April, did about 12 interviews, finally got 2 jobs before graduation.. One with Willis Towers Watson but had to decline their offer 'cos the other guys were the "fastest finger", plus the other guys offered sponsorship right off the bat. WTW also offered but them don carry last

Still looking to leave this country as soon as I have what I need is in place - currently working towards it

- A country where they offer to pay Cybersecurity guys £26K is not where I plan to live long-term

- A country where they edge MSc holders towards washing people's bums for 5 years is not one I consider a serious one that wants your growth, or that wants its immigrants to rise from the bottom of the ladder

- A country where legal immigrants are denigrated every time in the media is not where I think I want to be long term

- A country that is always cold, even in summer so much that lots of people are miserable is not where I would rather be

I'd rather be on a beach in Miami, FL or Melbourne,AU, with friends who earn well and do not have to chase care work shifts upandan while trying to scrape enough to pay bills (I am not insulting care workers o, its a legit job and puts food on the table )

Except something changes within the next 1 yr 6 months, Jah go run am as I type

I rest my case

I, she, Agentxxx are saying that those are some of the underlying reasons that need to be addressed, the underlying reasons that have built up resentment over the years, like the two scenarios I shared. That's all.

No be you Grandma dey talk about...and the fact that there is no way to differentiate in the heat of a hostile/volatile situation who is legal/illegal is the part that is scary and fxxxked up...but still shying away from those underlying causes doesn't make the resentment go away. Addressing it head on is/was Zahra's point/proposition, and it is valid....else this almost certainly will still happen again in the near future.

How that one come translate to advocacy for or indifference to the violence me no know🤦‍♂️

When there is lack of awareness and education, people will always direct their grievances to the wrong people. A lot of Caucasians are misinformed and will continue to see us as the problem unless they are re-educated and made aware of immigrants contributions to the nation.

To make matter worse, all political parties have used "immigration being the problem" to campaign. This is one of the causes.

These are things that have been mentioned here before but the propagandists told us to shut it and be grateful that we're here. The rhetoric in the mainstream media and by the politicians have been the most despicable. If we call African leaders despots, I wonder what we should call the politicians here. Now we are all pretending to be asking for solutions as if we never knew where it started.

hooyou.com
messersmithlaw.com and wegreened appear to be quality ones

Please share pointers if you have and if you would like to do it alone or with a lawyer. Think it's really expensive so I want to try and see if I can figure everything out myself in 6 - 9 months if I can.
