Nigerians react to relocating to the UK
@DGovernorDonjay
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 are 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 as 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, one Angry Tigress is waiting Goodbye, 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 won in as new MP
Recall that Andy Burnham was officially sworn in as a 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.

The Conservative leader accused Labour of failures across taxes, welfare, defence and energy policies.
Badenoch also argued that Labour’s approach remains the bigger challenge beyond leadership changes.
