Very Serious Day

Hello people,

Apologies for not blogging yesterday, I was in a meeting all day from 8am to 5pm listening to our ogas at the top falling our hands…...Hehehehe, by the time I got home, I went straight to bed. You know those kind of meetings your eyes are open and you are nodding to everything they are saying but deep down you are fast asleep? If you can’t do that yet, you are on a long thing o. Oluwatosin can open are eyes wide and be fast asleep. *seriously*!!

Today I am going to be very serious and I mean very serious, no joking around or anything because I saw something that made my heart bleed.
I walked to a nearby mall during my lunch on Tuesday and I saw a black lady pushing the cleaning trolley, I blinked well and looked again and I said ahn ahn I know this babe now. I screamed her name and she hugged me. Jesu! What is this ‘omo onile olana’ (that means someone from a wealthy background) doing working as a cleaner in the UK. She is indeed from a very good background and we went to university together in Nigeria. Firstly, before I proceed I am not against people making a honest living here when you come in as a student etc but after I did my investigations, my amebo friends confirmed she came here on a visit visa and refused to go back home. What the heck is that? This girl was a big girl in Naija and I mean big girl who had everything going for her. I have not been myself since then and each time I think about her I want to cry.

Now listen carefully all Nigerian youths, if you decide to come here on a visit visa and disappear into thin air, na suffer dey wait you o. Please don’t give me stories of people that made it through that route. Save all the cash you want to put into the visa and ticket and start a business, even if you start selling rice or okrika. The UK Government is very strict on immigration now and people with papers sef can’t find jobs. I know some people will disagree with my opinion today but I have seen too many Nigerians here suffering that I wonder why? I just heard of a guy recently who got a post study visa and started working has a security guard; he has saved so much and decided to give all to a britico girl to marry him so he can apply for a spousal visa. What the heck? What if you don’t get the visa? I know someone else that has been waiting for 2 years to get the so called spousal visa. Why not take the money and go back home? The stories are countless.
What is the attraction to UK sef, bad weather, racism, unfriendly people, tiny houses, no friends or family, kids stabbing each other?? Kilode gan *angry face*.

In my opinion, the only set of Nigerians allowed here are Doctors and Nurses, even financial services guys can get good jobs at home jare.

I no get another tori today, I dey vex.

Catch ya tomorrow and please follow me on twitter @tosinswagger.
