You should, good connection into London especially on the c2c. Cheaper anyways as everywhere is outside of London.
I like my little town, mostly Zimbabweans here though, not a lot of nigerians.

Sade Williams (not her real names) booked her passage to London through her husband, a Nigerian with British passport. On getting to London, she became uncontrollable after having a child and within a year was out of the relationship. She became entangled with another unsuspecting Nigerian, got a second child out of him, and dashed out again.
She now smiles to the bank every week to catch off her child support settlement.


If a married man wanna survive, just stay there hustle the money n send down. On no account should you move ur wife over except u wanna get a heart attack

Again I will say M Duggan. is not an innocent man.He was one of them black guys giving black people bad names..His death was a mistake on the part of the Police mind U I live in Haringey so I know what I am on about.ever heard of Turnpike lane?go to that park and see how our brothers are embarrassing us.

This is the problem: so Jean Charles de Menedes is to blame for his own execution in Stockwell? And when South Yorkshire police lied for 27 years to cover up blatant injustice, police are not to blame. Trust me, the British society is a broken society and virtually every level of it is institutionally racist. Most of us don`t know it because Nigerians only mind our own business. Did you hear of the guys that worked at the 2012 Olympics and yet to collect their wages up until today? Well, they are all from South-East Asia.

yes.. I agree.. igbos are more conscious with financial success, that's why you'd find them mostly in the US.. the UK is too regulated and expensive, you pay tax for everything from watching TV to parking car to your salaries ... USA is more freer and less-regulative

I was told Canada has very strict immigration policies.
What have you to say about that?

Most people don't know. Canada and netherlands are Worst for immigrants. I just laugh when people say Canada is better. Go to Canada and regret your life.

how can you visit and wants to work at the same time. you can not work on a visit visa especially in an oil and gas (what ever you mean by that) to work you will need a work permit or you can work illegally picking tomatoes and grapes in the country farm,cleaning streets, trash and gabbage man or Resturant and hotel cleaner.

strict immigration what and yet they're looking for migrant workers? Getting the visa might be difficult but living in Canada is not as difficult as you can imagine as long as you don't live in Ontario.

Never said the whole £200 is for feeding alone, said feeding and travelling expenses.

I'm interested in knowing what full pot of food that will last a week takes £10 to prepare. Seems like I shop for groceries at the wrong places.

They maybe suffering but its presently #452 to the pound.
My cousin attending uni in London works only 3hrs a day cleaning. So if you get paid £200per month doing few hours a day, that would be #90,000 per month.
...that money will only be 90,000 if she wanna spend it in Nigeria..buh when spending in London as her case will be...its nothing than a mere #1000 naira note...
