'Japa': Nigerian migrants bring the most relatives to UK - British govt says as it considers tougher visa rules........WAHALA
The British government is considering tightening the rules on how many relatives, immigrants can bring into the country.
In a recent research by the UK Homie office, it was discovered that Nigerians had the highest number of dependants in the country compared to other groups of migrants.
According to the Times UK, UK Home Secretary, Suella Braverman said the government was considering tightening the rules on dependants after Home Office immigration figures showed a “surprising inconsistency” across different nationalities coming to the UK to work and study.
Based on the Home Office report, Nigerians accounted for 40% of all dependants who accompanied foreign students in the 12 months to June 2022 - despite Nigerian students making up just 7% of all foreign students in that period.
About 34,000 Nigerians were given study visas in the UK, bringing with them a total of 31,898 dependants. A similar ratio was recorded for work visas, with 8,972 Nigerians issued with one in the 12 months to June bringing with them 8,576 dependants.
While 114,837 Chinese students who came to the UK last year brought with them a total of 401 dependants – and 93,049 Indian students came to Britain with 24,916 dependants, the figures show.

CHEI.......Woman accuses employer of forcing her to breastfeed his dogs while he filmed (video)
A woman claims her employer forced her to breastfeed his dogs and filmed her carrying out the task.
The mother had left Kenya, where she's from, and had gone to work in Saudi Arabia, where the alleged incident took place.
Francis Atwoli, Kenya's Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General, has now called on President William Ruto’s government to ban employment agencies overseeing migration of Kenyan workers to Saudi Arabia.
Atwoli said on Saturday, October 8, that he received a disturbing video from a woman in Saudia Arabia, who alleged that her employer forced her to breastfeed their dogs.
"She left her husband and children in Kenya two months after giving birth," Atwoli told NTV as he displayed a video of the woman breastfeeding.
"When they realised she can breastfeed, the employer gave her a job of breastfeeding puppies."
The COTU boss called for intergovernmental diplomacy to address the plight of Kenyans in Saudi Arabia and other gulf countries.
Atwoli said: "This is indirect slavery, I want to appeal to our government to go the way President Kibaki’s government under Phylis Kandie did.
"She banned all employment agencies in Kenya.
"Let this issue be a government-to-government.
"Let Kenya negotiate with Saudi Arabia on terms and conditions of service… so that our people can do decent jobs and not a job of breastfeeding dogs."
Atwoli said the inhumane actions being witnessed in Saudi Arabia are denying Kenyans dignity and respect.
He added: "It denies us our own citizenship as Kenyans who are from a free and independent country.
"I want to appeal to government to ban all employment agencies and review issues related to outside employment as advocated for by the International Labour Organization."

“You don't need to feed people to get married”- Nigerian clergyman says having wedding reception is unnecessary (video)
A Nigerian clergyman, Abel Damina, has said that having wedding receptions is unnecessary.
While preaching in his church recently, the clergyman stated that couples do not need to feed people just because they want to get married.
Pointing out that wedding ceremonies are unbiblical, the clergyman said;
''Wedding is just a celebration after marriage. The real marriage has happened before wedding because the real marriage is parents giving their children to one another. That is marriage. It is cultural. So all that wedding is unnecessary. It is not in the bible. No wedding in the bible. White wedding is a white man's culture. It is not a bible thing. In the bible, marriage is parents handing over the children when the requirements of the families are met. Once that happens, marriage has happened and as a responsible Christian, you call your pastor to speak a blessing. You don't need to feed people. You don't need to wear gown''
Nigerian doctors recruited to work in UK hospitals lament 'exploitation and slave labour’
Some Nigerian doctors who were recruited to work in UK hospitals have lamented over alleged exploitation and being overworked.
A BBC investigation has revealed that doctors from Nigeria are being recruited by a British healthcare company and expected to work in private hospitals under conditions not allowed in the National Health Service.
The British Medical Association (BMA) has described the situation as "shocking", adding that the sector needs to be brought in line with NHS working practices.
A young Nigerian doctor who worked at the private Nuffield Health Leeds Hospital in 2021, Augustine Enekwechi revealed that his hours were extreme; on-call 24 hours a day for a week at a time. He also revealed that he's unable to leave the hospital premises which feels like being in "a prison".
Augustine added that there are times he became worried he couldn't properly function. He said;
"I knew that working tired puts the patients at risk and puts myself also at risk, as well for litigation.
"I felt powerless… helpless, you know, constant stress and thinking something could go wrong."
Nuffield Health however claimed that its doctors are offered regular breaks, time off between shifts, and the ability to swap shifts if needed. The company adds that "the health and wellbeing of patients and hospital team members" is its priority.
Augustine was hired out to the Nuffield Health Leeds Hospital from a private company - NES Healthcare. It specialises in employing doctors from overseas, many from Nigeria, and using them as Resident Medical Officers, or RMOs - live-in doctors found mainly in the private sector.
Augustine says he was so excited to be offered a job that he barely looked at the NES contract. In fact it opted him out of legislation that protects UK workers from excessive working hours, the Working Time Directive, and left him vulnerable to a range of punishing salary deductions.
The BMA and the front line lobbying group the Doctors' Association has also given the BBC's File on 4 and Newsnight exclusive access to the findings of a questionnaire put to 188 Resident Medical Officers. Most of the doctors were employed by NES but some were with other employers.
It found that 92% had been recruited from Africa and most - 81% - were from Nigeria. The majority complained about excessive working hours and unfair salary deductions.
While the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned against the "active recruitment" of doctors and nurses from developing countries (mostly in Africa) with severe shortages of medical personnel, the UK government has also incorporated that list into its own code of practice - calling it the "red list". In effect, it makes Nigeria a no-go destination for British medical recruiters.
On how Nigerian doctors are recruited, it was gathered that these doctors take what's called a Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board test - or PLAB 1. The paper is set by the General Medical Council in London and is the first step required by the British medical authorities to secure a licence to work in the UK.
The Nigerian doctors who spoke to the news agency, said they were attracted by the potential of higher salaries and better working conditions. The event was being overseen by staff from the British Council - an organisation sponsored by the Foreign Office.
The GMC also offers the exams in several other red-list countries - Ghana, Sudan, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Both the GMC and British Council deny they are involved in "active recruitment" and say they're simply helping provide a service for doctors wanting to come to the UK independently - something that is allowed under the guidelines.
In Augustine's case, he was studying for the second part of those PLAB exams in the UK, when he was approached by NES Healthcare and later offered visa sponsorship and a potential job.
While that does appear to have been "active recruitment", NES says it wasn't because it is not a recruitment agency and, as such, only engages with doctors from overseas once they've already committed to practising in the UK. But the Department of Health and Social Care told BBC that the UK code of practice did apply to NES, so the company was in breach of it.
We spoke to several African doctors recruited in this way by NES. They all had similar stories about what the terms and conditions of their contracts meant in reality, once they had been hired out to private UK hospitals.
Another victim who BBC spoke to is Dr Femi Johnson was sent to a different hospital to Augustine. He said he was also expected to work 14 to 16-hour days and then be on call overnight. "I was burnt out," he says. "I was tired, I needed sleep. It's not humanly possible to do that every day for seven days."
But when he needed a break because he was too exhausted to continue, NES were entitled to deduct money from his salary. The company says that is to cover the cost of finding a replacement doctor, but Femi says it leaves NES doctors in a terrible dilemma.
"In situations like that, I always make that internal discussion with my inner self, 'Femi are you doing right by yourself and are you doing right by the patient?'" he told BBC. "Unfortunately, I haven't always been able to answer that question."
Some NES doctors have received help from Dr Jenny Vaughan from the Doctors' Association. She receives many complaints from Resident Medical Officers and says the UK healthcare system has developed into two tiers - one for NHS doctors, the other for international recruits working in the private sector.
NHS doctors can only be scheduled to work up to 48 hours, and if they request, up to 72 hours a week.
Dr Vaughan said;
"No doctor in the NHS does more than four nights consecutively because we know that it's frankly not safe.
"This is a slave-type work with… excess hours, the like of which we thought had been gone 30 years ago.
"It is not acceptable for patients for patient-safety reasons. It is not acceptable for doctors.?"
The findings were taken to the BMA, and its deputy chair, Emma Runswick, said the situation is a "disgrace to UK medicine".
Runswick said;
"Our international colleagues have come a long way to the UK, and have found conditions so exploitative it beggars belief."
NES Healthcare also said that the "feedback about doctors' experiences" with the company was "extremely positive". It also claimed that it provides doctors "with a safe and supportive route to pursue their career choice in the National Health Service, and in the UK healthcare system more generally, and that their work is of "great benefit to the British public."
