A Nigerian man identified as Emdee Tiamiyu has come under heavy criticism after telling the British Authorities that his people immigrating to the United Kingdom through the student visa route, are not really planning to go study in the real sense.
Recall, the UK government in a new immigration law ruled that starting from January 2024, Nigeria and other foreign students studying in the UK will not be able to bring their family members to the country as dependents except “under specific circumstances.”
According to the UK government, the law aims to bring immigration into the country that stands at around one million down.
Following the new immigration law, the BBC interviewed Emdee, a YouTuber, who disclosed that most Nigerians coming into the UK with a student visa had no intent to study and only use the route to escape poverty and search for better opportunities.
Emdee’s comment riled up Nigerians on social media so much that many stormed his social media pages to rain curses on him over his comments on immigration by Nigerians.
