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.

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.

NigerianEye monitored some angry reactions from Nigerians on social media, a few of them are below.

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.

Because of Emdee Tiamiyu

- You can no longer take your dependents to UK on student VISA

- You can’t switch to work visas until you finish studies

- They will clamp down on using agents

- POF might increase.

- Student VISA might be completely scraped off

Indians migrate more than Nigerians but when you see them on YouTube, it’s always opportunities abroad they share but the Nigerians will always complain to gate keep people, look at what that Emdee Tiamiyu did today now because of too much talking.

Just know many Nigerians abroad are like Tiamiyu.

Some don’t others to migrate with their regular Cho Cho Cho! They are vindictive & negative…evil roams free but other nationals don’t do same of their countrymen

The BBC needed a Tiamiyu interview to provide content to support its narrative that would be ‘sold’ to the British public.

A brain. See how he hyped Nigerian and Nigeria and cancelled every wrong narrative. Tiamiyu the YouTuber said no let me shine teeth and be a dunce https://t.co/oQwGx64wOd
