Goke7: Hehe... not heard of this parable. Had to look it up. It's comical truth be said especially when we know their progenitors faced far worse than what migrants today face and their relatively lower attainment can be manytimes traced back to constrained opportunities that were afforded their parents. KS put it well when he termed them defenders of western civilisation. Reminds me of someone I encountered on the Nigerians in Canada thread who was singing praises of how British migrants built canada all in a bid to gatekeep 'third worlders' (his words) he thought were 'spoiling his promised land'. Had to remind him that the new group of British arrivals looks a bit different from their earlier compatriots. |

bigtt76: Interesting read. It seems her colleagues are cooking a pot of soup for her. Reminds me of what we say about a community cooking for one person. Wouldn't be surprised she finds a way to hang on, drag it out and destroy their chances further. One thing I've noticed is that she is no more talking about Nigeria. The two blokes are keeping her busy. |

Goodenoch: Hehe... 'cupboarder' and 'cupboardee' foming a pact.... Interesting times. Fairly early days but KS should fastrack his plans and try to deliver on houses. Its all exposes the dilema politicians over the last 20yrs have faced- everyone complains about the state of public sevices but when the try to raise money via taxing certain segments, reducing fraud or bringing in good minds to help grow the economy, they get a backlash. People want to have their cake and eat it. Its for this sole reason and good checks in place that I don't mind NF at the helm - would be better than him being the main opposition. |

dannytoe: Spaces in the care sector are already opening though there is still relative glut. Agencies that used to offer escalated rates plus mileage/transport but stopped when alot of entrants arrived are now beginning to improve pay as shifts are gradually becoming more difficult to fill. |

I had the with them before I relocated but I think if you their app you should be able to an with them. I wasn't in Nigeria when I got the . Good thing is you get a virtual you can transfer funds into and it updates real-time. justwise: |

bigtt76: You could get 17% with branch, if you intend to lock your funds in (till maturity)...... I am considering moving some funds from Alat, into branch for the 17% Apr (but I keep ing, NEVER to put all my eggs, in one basket)..... π₯ππ The 10% Apr, is paid out weekly..... π€£π 1 Like |

Chinlov: That's the only problem with branch, their app is region locked..... You could either use an older apk (not locked) or simply invest with Alat (wema).... They offer similar rates.... Alat offers 8.75 Apr. I also have an Alat , this is able and updatable (via UK playstore)..... |

bigtt76:Where have you been bro? |
bigtt76(f): 6:20pm On May 10 |
True that. The ARM MMF gives close to 20-22% pa, they credit you daily (do your due diligence though). Good thing with it is that you have access to your funds at anytime (though when you first start, you must leave it in there for 90 days, subsequently, you can withdraw). Lexusgs430: |

Yes, thats correct. They have a mobile app too justwise: |

My Naija people, Please has anyone applied for USA visit visa recently? If yes please what's the process like. I stay in Manchester |

jedisco:That's good news for folks already here. Net migration has already dropped by 20% in 2024 to728k, thanks to the visa restrictions and dependant crackdown introduced by the previous conservative government. With the new hardline rules about to be introduced by labour soon, i expect net migration to further drop down in 2025 and 2026 to near record levels. Despite these, i still believe it may take additional 1 to 3yrs for vacancy rate to return to pre-covid levels (Excluding any possible economic slowdown). 1 Like |

For those who have applied for American visa from the UK, I need assistance and opinion. I submitted my application and wants to book an appointment for interview. I was meant to visit the US on five days holiday at the beginning of September this year. I have already booked the tour and hotel which I used the dates for my visa application. while I was trying to book an appointment, I discovered that the earliest date on the calender was ending of September. Will it be okay if I reapply adjusting the dates of my travel/holiday, maybe October and November or should I keep hoping to have earlier dates for me to grab??

Universities have relied on international students paying lucrative fees to make up for deficits from teaching UK students, whose tuition fees have been eroded by inflation. But recent immigration and visa changes have provoked a sharp fall in international recruitment since 2023, with the government expected to tighten restrictions further. These articles have become a recurring theme. Still wonder where the low point would be. They always reminds me of previous discussions here where fees by international students were deemed negligible- 'less than 1%' some said.

A big day for Labour tomorrow with their Immigration White Paper expected to announce a raft of tough new measures on immigration. Other reported measures include changes to the PSW route, changes to the ILR route for some migrants and visa restrictions for some countries. Labour sounding more like the Tories/Reform but they insist that these changes were already on the table before their local election defeat and that it's not just a ploy to win back voters.

justwise: I'm surprised that Labour is allegedly proposing to make changes to the PSW route when that is pretty much the one area that the Tories left alone in their immigration reforms. We'll get the full deets tomorrow but I hear that the PSW may be extended from 2 to 3 years. However, reports are that it will also be restricted to graduate level jobs - so a bit of a mixed picture. It should be good news for students though if they have an extra year to explore post-study opportunities. |
