@laineyCharlo @KevinblakC We will never allow ppl to disrespect our laws and become arrogant. If you are not welcome wherever you are, what's so difficult to just leave.
Why must you be kicked out.
You people have this arrogance, and feel so entitled.

@KevinblakC I hope most South Africans don't see this stupid joke. Because you putting paraffin into the fire just to get engagements.
You putting lives of other ppl in danger.
South Africans are very angry and they are trying not to show. But this is provocative

@JosephLaughterS @beingsally1 I don’t understand, apply GT without endorsement or with endorsement?
English

A friend is having a similar issue, currently.
And I feel so bad for him and his wife.
They’ve tried applying for GT more than 2 times and intentionally pick doing biometrics at a later date just to delay leaving, with the hopes that just maybe they’ll be lucky to eventually get sponsored.
I can’t imagine how much they’ve spent over all these and how much of mental stress they’re going through.
It is well! Or maybe it isn’t!!! 😭

My heart is so heavy tonight, I’m crying in my bed. So many Nigerians here are having immigration issues, a lot of people forced to leave the country, Some are in tight battles with the Home Office. After all the money and labour. I’m so sad, I’m so tired.

@stanleyjonas @TheGrandmaBoy Those blacks that you’re talking about are Illegal foreigners who leave their country, get pregnant and want to get free healthcare services in South Africa knowing very well that there are also other fellow South Africans paying taxes for this. It’s high time we acts

@slyymax @DanielRegha Don't know of such except RELIGION.
The only civil war Nigeria had was Biafra war & it wasn't caused by TRIBALISM. I have never heard of a time TRIBALISM caused any war in Nigeria, tell me where & when it happened?

The logic that @Shabana Mahmood is trying to push doesn’t really make any sense to be honest.
Basing ILR timelines on RQF levels instead of actual fiscal contribution is a flawed approach.
You’re calling RQF Level 3 “low-skilled”…
But the same “low-skilled” electrician is earning £40–£50/hour and contributing significantly more in taxes than many degree holders.
So what exactly are we measuring here? The skill, or just paper qualifications?
See it this way; the UK 🇬🇧 system has a structural problem.
Take this example:
A nurse with a UK degree working in the NHS might earn around £19/hour.
An electrician—RQF Level 3—can comfortably double that.
Yet the system will:
Label one “high-skilled”
And delay the other’s settlement for up to 15 years..
That’s not policy. That’s saying we have enough handy man’s job and we don’t need more.. Own it.
Now compare this to countries like Australia and the United States:
In Australia, skilled trades are respected and prioritised. Certifications lead to clear financial progression and better migration pathways.
In the US, immigration (while imperfect) often leans toward economic value and labour demand, not just academic hierarchy.
In the UK 🇬🇧, you can:
Invest in more certifications
Upskill yourself
Gain experience
…and still see little to no financial recognition.
Meanwhile, many so-called “white-collar” professionals are stuck in lower salary brackets despite degrees.
So again, what is the real metric here?
Because if it’s about contribution to the economy, then:
Tax paid
Income level
Labour demand
should matter far more than RQF labels.
Right now, the system doesn’t just undervalue trades…
It penalises them, even when they outperform degree holders financially.
And that’s why this policy feels poorly designed.
If you really want to fix this, start from the root.
Make degrees actually worth it.
People who go through years of education, gain certifications, and build professional knowledge should see that reflected in their pay and progression.
Right now, that link is weak.
At the same time, those who choose to learn a trade or develop practical skills must be properly recognised and respected! not labelled “low-skilled” while they outperform others economically.
You can’t build a fair system by:
Undervaluing education
And misclassifying skills
Fix the structure, and the immigration logic will fix itself.

Shabana Mahmood can be the best Home Secretary the country has ever seen. Why? Because she puts country first. Not only is that how elections are won - it’s absolutely what the country expects from every single elected politician. We campaigned on ‘country first, party second’ - that’s how we must always govern.

TROOPS DISMANTLE IPOB/ESN STRONGHOLD, RECOVER SUSPECTED REMAINS OF SLAIN PERSONNEL IN IMO STATE
The Nigerian Army has recorded another significant operational success in its sustained efforts to rid the South East of criminal elements, as troops of 82 Division, in conjunction with sister services and other security agencies, successfully dismantled a notorious camp belonging to the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed affiliate, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), in Imo State.
Acting on intelligence information, the operation, conducted on 24 April 2026 along the Ubaha Orsu axis of Orsu Local Government Area, was part of a deliberate clearance and search mission aimed at dismantling IPOB/ESN hideout within the region and locating the remains of two personnel of the Nigerian Army, Master Warrant Officer Linus Musa Audu and Private Gloria Mathew, who were brutally abducted and murdered by IPOB/ESN terrorists in May 2022 while en route for their traditional wedding.
Acting on credible intelligence, troops advanced towards a suspected IPOB/ESN hideout when they came under heavy attack by armed criminals. Demonstrating resilience, the troops decisively engaged the terrorists, successfully repelling multiple ambushes and forcing the criminals to flee in disarray. The encounter further exposed the desperation and criminal nature of the group, which continues to target innocent citizens and security personnel alike.
Following the successful clearance of the camp, troops conducted a thorough search of the area and made a grim but important discovery shallow graves suspected to contain the remains of the slain personnel. The graves were carefully excavated and suspected remains were recovered.
The recovered remains have since been secured for detailed forensic analysis, including DNA testing, to conclusively establish their identities. Efforts are also ongoing to liaise with the families of the fallen personnel to ensure proper identification and facilitate befitting burial arrangements in honour of their sacrifice.
This operation not only underscores the Nigerian Army’s unwavering commitment to ensuring justice for fallen heroes but also highlights the continued degradation of IPOB/ESN criminal networks and infrastructure across the South East. The discovery of shallow graves within their camp further exposes the group’s heinous atrocities and disregard for human life.
The Nigerian Army reassures the general public that ongoing operations will continue until all criminal elements are neutralised and lasting peace is restored across the region. We appreciate the Law-abiding citizens for the information and urge you remain vigilant and continue to support security agencies with timely and credible information.
The Nigerian Army remains resolute, professional and committed to defending the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Nigeria.

A Nigerian living in the UK 🇬🇧 will most likely make heaven than a Nigerian living in Nigeria 🇳🇬.
You fit go one month straight without committing sin in the UK 🇬🇧 because of the way the system is.
In Nigeria, even if you no wan sin, some people will use sin do necklace and put it on your neck 😭

My problem with this whole argument is that it is still rooted in patriarchy.
Why is the woman expected to integrate? Can an Igbo men become turn igala bc he married an igala woman?
ThatPortharcourtBoy aka Nnukwu Nmanwu@ThatPHCBoy
from your wife is not a member of your family to a white woman is fully igbo because she is married to an igbo man. best in flip flopping

@NellieFizz17117 @DanielRegha Tribalism literally caused war in Nigeria and thousands killed in the north so what are you saying?
English

@slyymax @DanielRegha Do u mean civil unrest or wars?
Do you know what XENOPHOBIA is doing in South Africa? You can't walk freely in Johannesburg just because you're Nigerian, you'll be linched or killed. Here in Naij TRIBALISM isn't that extreme.

@nwanyi_ocha Nwanyiocha we Dey your back, you’re more Igbo than most of those idiots, don’t listen to them …umu ekwensu!!

@PempheroMphande The USA is doing it no one is talking... but when southafricans do it it's now world news?
Everyone should settle and build their country
English

@PempheroMphande But they’re running cos they have no papers and hijacked that building that’s meant to be affordable housing for South Africans . Not once have yall asked your country men to behave
English

@NellieFizz17117 @DanielRegha You know nothing about tribalism, tribalism has caused wars with millions dead 💀
English

@DanielRegha Xenophobia is worse than tribalism.
Tribalism is a bit subtle in it's ways compared to XENOPHOBIA.
XENOPHOBIA comes into play as extreme hate for foreigners to live & let live. Tribalism only comes into play in marriages, election, scouting for jobs e.t.c.
