I’m from Scotland have lived and worked in Nigeria for over 6 years now. There are hordes of Nigerians desperately trying to get to the UK to make use of the social security, health and belief that the UK will give them paradise at no cost. The High Commission in Lagos is one of the worlds busiest, not because of terror, reprisals and injustice in Nigeria, but because the UK is seen as a soft touch. Nigeria for the most part is not a terrible place, the communities are close and fairly safe. The UK must not become a dumping ground for those who choose to free-load the UK rather than work to change their own country. It must not also be seen a soft-touch for those who would happily turn to criminal means rather than legitimate work. Nigerians have a very poor work ethic in the main part, where fraud and graft are legitimate business means. Lying is not ‘bad’, it is part of the negotiation process. All illegal Nigerians must be deported lest they apply their ‘normal’ standards whilst living in the UK…..
