India is number 1 in migrating to any Western country, doing well. One would wonder if they have people factories.
At least Indians and Nigerians, in a way, help with the economy of those countries, but why are the numbers from Pakistan that high? The UK is already a 3rd world country.

who told you Pakistanis don't contribute?
Seems like you are a victim of the media

if translated into per capita immigrant figure, Nigeria and Zimbabwe benefited more. India has 1.4B population but Nigeria and Pakistan combined is around 500m.

What I ire about the Chinese is that; they go for knowledge in a developed countries, and then return back to their own country to implement and use what they have learnt to improve their nation.

But my Naija people no dey look back grin, I no blame them sha, corruption don spoil our nation. All man for himself 😅
The majority of ethnic Chinese who moved are disgruntled Hong Kongers, not Mainland Chinese. The latter tend to move as students and return to China. China has more to offer the average/smart Chinese than the UK would ever.

I can attest that the average UK individual in the streets of London earns more than a so called person you call a rich man in Nigeria.... undecided
oh please! That is not true and can never be true. The pounds earned in London are spent in London, not Lagos. Two, there is an economic concept known as PPP - Purchasing Power Parity. So, the Nigerian in Lagos has more money to spend than the Nigerian in London.

I already know who the top three will be. Everytime I watch any premier league match,all of the stewards are always Indian or Pakistan. Chaii. By the way. There's no difference in look between indians and Pakistans. Dem look alike dieee
Add Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka to that list. All of which are not good to write home about. Although, Maldives and Mauritius are pretty okay. Then compare to where the Chinese are spread - China, Hong Kong, Singapore, parts of Malaysia & Thailand, and Macau. If we are to expand, the largest number of foreigners in South Korea and Japan is Chinese.

Oga you can say whatever you like, it doesn't not change the fact that pounds is more higher than your currency....

Don’t mind his likes! They just talk!

They tell you how much they earn and convert to Naira, forgetting they cannot afford an average life in the UK.

If you see the tiny kennels they call home, you will shake your head. Working like a clock to earn what cannot even give them average life is what they call life.

One you find any them who converts pounds to Naira, just ignore the person. That’s the mentality that makes them think they having a better life.

You should be bold enough to speak to me one on one, not hiding under another person's quote....

You think everybody is like you, if you leave in a village mud house, doesn't mean am also living like you....

Pounds have value more than your silly naira, face the facts...

This article is grossly misleading.
There is no way the UK absorbed 120,000 long-term migrants from Nigeria in one year.

Not all visa applicants are migrants, so Vanguard Newspaper will do well to correct its erroneous report.

India's number is far too low in relation to its population. One would expect the figure to be higher given that it is the world's most populous nation. Their population is currently over 1.4 billion.

are you ok, Indian with 1.4 billion with just 200k plus and Nigeria with partly 200 million with a huge 120k plus. It should be “ Nigeria no de tire” not Indians. Indians in this case is learning when compared with Nigeria

UK should take half of our population please because many Nigerians are useless to their fellow Nigerians. They should open their doors wider abeg

But let’s pause and think. The visa fee is £700. Multiply that by 120,000 successful Nigerian applicants—that’s £84 million generated just from Nigeria alone in 2024. And that doesn’t even include the thousands of rejected applications. Now double that for countries like India. Imagine how much the airlines are making each year from these migrations and round trips.

Truly, the people running the world are playing chess while others are still figuring out checkers. They know exactly what they’re doing.

So true, now imagine on the flip side.

120,000 Nigerians sending lets say just £200 back home every month, that's £24m monthly into the Nigerian economy - ~N48 Billion/year. That's nearly half of what is budgeted for Health 2024

Now imagine how much Nigeria will earn from citizens ordering Goat meat, Palm oil, Poundo yam etc

Based on current trends
Like I have told you last year
This is NO LONGER the case

More and more mainland Chinese kids are staying back in the UK
your last statement is incorrect but that's on the side.....
Having conversations with the students at my uni for example
The life here is so "sweet" for them to return to China

The only thing is that if this racism rhetoric continues
thei may leave to Australia
