Hundreds of Nigerian migrants are cheating the system by using a visa scheme meant for authors and other literary creatives.
They have made the most applications for the scheme, which also covers poets, oral storytellers and creators of graphic novels and comics.
Those who are successful are able to bring their family into the UK as dependents and stay for up to five years at a time.
The Nigerian migrants have also been the most successful in their applications, endorsed by the government quango Arts Council England, which can review and bolster applications for 'Global Talent' visas.
This includes those with exceptional talents in music, theatre and dance and those applying are expected to prove their skills.
