Nigerian Youtuber, Emdee Tiamiyu, who specialises in helping Nigerians relocate to the United Kingdom, disclosed that Nigerians migrating to the UK use schooling as a ploy to gain entry into the country.
Tiamiyu made this known in an interview with BBC which went viral on Tuesday. He said, “So the student thing is not real. It is not like they need the degrees.
“They need the degree as an access road to come into the country, so a lot of this people their priorities shifted real fast.”
The video went viral after the UK enacted a law that will prevent Nigerian students, and others studying in the UK, from bringing family as dependents except under specific circumstances.
Tiamiyu, who is based in Birmingham, granted the interview in the wake of the new immigration rules that will prevent Nigerian students, and others studying in the UK, from bringing their families as dependants except under specific circumstances.
Under the new rule, which will take effect January 2024, the UK will remove the permission for international students to switch out of the student route and into work routes before their studies have been completed to prevent misuse of the visa system.
Criticisms have continued to trail the remarks of a Nigerian Youtuber, Emdee Tiamiyu, in an interview he had with the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Tiamiyu, who is known for advising Nigerians on studying in the United Kingdom, declared that many of them were not looking for new qualifications, but to start a new life abroad.
There are more Indians in the UK than Nigerians why is BBC focused on Nigeria?

Anything that will benefit other people from another country in the Uk, the Uk will always clamp down on it.

You can do your research.
They never really want any benefit for anyone asides their own people.
This is why I always advise Canada or America.
How the UK charges exorbitant fees for visas and still frames the legal immigration discourse like it’s something they ‘hand out’ is beyond me. Students bring dependents to the UK, okay but is it free?

The real question, which no one seems to be asking, is what has the UK government been doing with all that money? Are foreign students—who pay higher/international school fees and ridiculous health surcharges—suddenly the reason teachers and NHS staff are underpaid?

The same question asked to Emdee Tiamiyu was asked to Mazi Dr. Emeka Okorocha and look at how he brilliantly answered it. Smh. pic.twitter.com/E6ruBTPBxT

On the one hand, if all the Nigerians he has “helped” to the UK via study visas were interested in immigration rather than education, then Emdee Tiamiyu is an unscrupulous individual who should be scrutinised by the UK Home Office.

This is Emdee Tiamiyu, a Yoruba man from Osun State. This is the man that has destroyed the hope of millions of young Nigerians in this generation and generation unborn by revealing the means they use to escape poverty, oppression and hardship in Nigeria. He is domiciled in UK pic.twitter.com/9sRWMhV5DD

Maybe Emdee Tiamiyu thought he was going to get UK citizenship by selling out his country's people

Emdee Tiamiyu is a m!ndless clown. Nigerians are already being stigmatized, our country has a negative image but instead of correcting the wrong perceptions he deliberately threw Nigerians under the bus for views & cheap clout. Ignorance is a disease. Hope karma visits him soon.
