@perkmaybe Hi

@chinenyeway This is a tricky situation . Your friend should be really careful. Happened to someone I know. They had to trick the daughter that they are going for holidays in Nigeria and left her back with her parents.

I don't think anyone should advise you as an immigrant in Western countries, especially in the UK to start thinking beyond ILR. I don't know about others, but I hardly get worried by all this talk about immigration policies. Maybe, because I've not seen myself staying here for long even if I become a British citizen by document.

Unfortunately, the UK politicians are mostly pushed by online opinions even from other countries and influencers like Elon Musk. What's happening in Belfast is a statement to every immigrant in the UK that the smiles you get, the hi, and you're alright greetings you get can change overnight when an immigrant whether legal or not acts crazy.

No matter how much you want to comfort yourself with integration, you'll always be black in the eyes of many.

So, work legally as you do, do all the right things you can do here, save that money, save it well, and more especially, support good governance in your home country. I get pissed seeing Nigerians in the UK, Canada, and more supporting this current government because of personal interest, religion, or tribe. We need to have outgrown this nonsense.

Also, add greater value to yourself so that your relevance will be across borders while we hope good governance and leadership will become a reality soon. Stop begging or appearing beggary to people you're better than in all aspects - education, exposure, skills, because you want a place to stay.

If they want to send everyone home, they should. It's their country but go back prepared than before. It starts now, save that money! If you're single, you're in luck now, with less responsibility. Use it right!

Whether you like it or not, nowhere is better than home! Think home!

The border officer told me someone had already entered the UK using my exact biometrics.
Three days before I landed.
I had never been to the UK before.

You will not sleep after this one.

Nobody prepared me for the moment you realise you belong everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
Too Nigerian for the British.
Too westernised when you go back home.
That in between is not a problem.
It is the most powerful perspective you will ever have.
Use it. 🇳🇬

@TheDamiForeign Hi

[C @cyrusamanya]

You should have things you don't do, places you don't go to, substances you don't take, words you don't say

By all means, have Principles and Standards.

@iSlimfit @Bourgiezaza I give up ah! Very horrible weather

[Slimfit @iSlimfit]

The UK 🇬🇧 should just forget summer this year.

The Nigerians who say "japa is not the solution" have never had to choose between their dreams and NEPA taking light for 18 hours straight
The audacity of the comfortable telling the struggling to stay put

[yimika| @yimikaaaa]

ur whole life can be altered just by associating with someone. so yes. be selective.

@bluewmist I couldn’t agree more. Build quietly. The results come loudly

[blue @bluewmist]

Avoid the cheap dopamine hit of announcing everything to people. Life is easier when no one knows about you.

[Lee🍷 @kolnos69]

Three years ago I was in a shared room in Birmingham. Cold. Broke. Missing home.
Telling my mother everything was fine.
This week I posted a video that got 460 views in one day. Someone I have never met watched it and subscribed. That is still miraculous to me. Build quietly

@AsakyGRN Men! Learn or perish

[Lawrence Kitema @lawrencekitema]

When you ask someone for money and they say they don't have it, don't take it personally — you also don't have it.

[Shina🧃 @shinaswago]

Take your japa plan seriously

@AramideOyekunle Nothing is quite easy as it seems! Some people took loads while some sold their properties.
