@Benassi_ef@TosinOlugbenga If you didn’t change jobs within the tax year in review, it’s likely you won’t get a rebate except your payroll made an error in your tax code somewhere along the line.
Most Nigerians think they are drinking milk. They are drinking Fat-Filled Milk Powder (FFMP).
In the EU, FFMP can’t be sold as milk, it must be labelled as a milk ingredient, not a dairy product.
Here, it’s “milk”. Nigerians are eating what others aren’t allowed to call food.
@SimisolaTomori It actually works out cheaper leaving the heating on at a set temperature than constantly turning it on and off. I set mine at 20 degrees, it comes on a few minutes when the temp drops and that’s it. Space is constantly warm and cozy.
The "British mind" truly is a masterclass in wanting to have your cake and eat it, too.
They've spent years shouting from the rooftops that universities are bloated, inefficient relics that shouldn't see a single extra penny of taxpayer money. They mock students for taking on debt, telling them it's their own private investment, and then act shocked when those same institutions, forced to survive as businesses, start looking for customers who can actually pay the bills.
It is a spectacular display of circular logic, they refuse to fund the schools because "they don't benefit everyone," but then we get outraged when they find a way to stay afloat without it. You can't starve an institution of public air and then complain when it starts breathing through a private straw.
This irrationality becomes even more glaring when you look at how they treat international students, particularly those from China, who have become the convenient villain in the latest headlines. These students are effectively the primary benefactors of the British higher education system, often paying two to three times the tuition of a home student. They are quite literally subsidizing the training of British scientists and engineers. They bring massive amounts of disposable income into the local economy, and for the most part, they are eager to take that expertise back home rather than "taking jobs" here. (Everything the right accuses international students of, well it is hard to sell any of it on Chinese students).
Yet, instead of being seen as the financial lifeline that keeps the lights on at Oxford or Imperial, they are framed as a threat or a symptom of "reckless self-neglect".
It’s the ultimate "foreigner bar argument" reached through mindless contradiction. They want the prestige of elite science hubs, but they don't want to pay for them. They want international capital to save our struggling campuses, but they don't want the international students to actually show up and sit in the seats.

RT for awareness, We cannot continue to live like this.
@BukkyOA As someone who works in a similar industry in the UK I can also relate. It can be overwhelming to the point you start doubting your ideas and watch people who don’t put in the same effort like you do get ahead of the curve. This video of an eye opener for me. Thanks for sharing.
@DipoAW Also the point about not contributing to the UK economy is disingenuous . Even while searching for the few graduate roles, we still work and pay taxes, sometimes earning more than what the graduate jobs even pay.
