Meet The Nigerian, Emdee Tiamiyu Who Made UK Stop Foreign Students From Bringing In Their Families

TRIXX NG reports that the United Kingdom (UK) has made a law barring foreign students including Nigerians from relocating with their families from January 2024.

This was revealed yesterday and the country gave overpopulation as the reason behind the new development.

Many have wondered why the UK was so firm with this, especially the fact that Nigerians have more population there and will be affected more by the law.

Netizens have however discovered that a young man, Emdee Tiamiyu from Osun state, is solely responsible for the success of the law against his own people.

In a video currently trending on social media, Emdee Tiamiyu was seen speaking to the UK media about how Nigerians are migrating to the United Kingdom with their families by using the student visa as a route. He noted in his video that Nigerian students don’t come to the UK for academic purposes but only use academic means to migrate to the UK with their families as dependents.

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

Posterity will never be kind to you! The internet never forgets. WTH is this?

Dear @BBCNews,

Nigerians have been made aware of a video showing your interview with one “Emdee Tiamiyu” who claimed that Nigerians do not go to the UK because they need the degree. For the avoidance of doubt, your interviewee has spoken strictly for himself & not for Nigerians. pic.twitter.com/thVIgkXI6Q

The fact that people think Emdee Tiamiyu said the truth is the most annoying part about everything for me. I have sat in interviews by virtue of my job and I tell you Nigerians are still one of the smartest and most qualified demographic of people migrating to the UK https://t.co/iCsJHhyzP0

Emdee Tiamiyu failed to acknowledge the hardworking and honest Nigerians who have migrated legitimately to The UK who make up at least 70% of the total number because evil narratives sell more in the present day. You have to be smart enough not to be a tool of evil in the world.

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.
