In Nigeria or UK politics, vibes don’t pay bills, policies do. Whether Labour or Conservative, migration dreams still meet visa realities.
@Saliu_ade
Nigerians celebrating Starmer's exit because of Suella Braverman without checking who comes next or what Andy Burnham's immigration position actually is. The research phase was skipped entirely if you like no use your head.
@chrixbliz
The day kemi becomes PM I will start looking at other countries.
@AdureOghenekev1
The Tigress is 100times better than your slave masters here in Nigeria. The Tigress will not be sharing rice and buying cars for political sake where her people are being k*lled every day like your slave masters do here in Nigeria.
@Kaluchris47
The Tigress at least has balls than the so called Senate house we have here,.that are just clowns singing mandate songs
@wisemaster05
Kemi Badenoch shares your blood not your visa. She has explicitly championed stricter immigration. For Nigerians planning to Japa, sentiment is a luxury. Study the policies, not the passport.
Andy Burnham aworn in as new MP
Recall that Andy Burnham was officially sworn in as an new MP amid loud cheers from his Labour Party colleagues in the House of Commons.
Around 200 MPs were in the hall to greet the Aintree-born former Greater Manchester mayor, now officially the MP for Makerfield.
Burnham bowed his head several times as he made his way through the Commons chamber and grinned.
