BBC Interview: I mean every word I say – Youtuber

Embattled Nigerian Youtuber, Emdee Tiamiyu, has said he is realistic in his dealings and also means every word he says in his controversial  British Broadcasting Corporation interview.

Emdee said this while reacting to the barrage of criticisms that trailed the interview he granted to the BBC where he claimed that Nigerians seeking admission into school in the United Kingdom only considered it as an alternative means to escape from Nigeria.

Tiamiyu, who is known for advising Nigerians on studying in the United Kingdom noted that most Nigerians are not looking for new qualifications, but to start a new life abroad.

He said, “The student route is more like an answered prayer. It is a big bracket that’s able to take a lot of people, the ordinary people”.

“We’re beginning to see that a lot of people just hide behind the studentship. So the student thing is not real, it’s not like they need the degrees,” he added.

Irked by the remarks, Nigerians took to social media to vent their anger, while they also accused him of sabotage and betrayal.

This is however not unconnected to the new immigration rules that will prevent Nigerian students, and others studying in the UK, from bringing family as dependents except under specific circumstances.
