Seconded.
Most of the posts were utter nonsense.
When I saw the topic 'Are there jobs in the Uk?' I assumed that the topic was for people seeking jobs in the UK, possibly a treatise on the UK job market. Which could be a topic on, say, an Indian or Filipino forum.

Instead, Nigerians went on to pontificate about all sorts, and insult the heck out of each other. Which makes me wonder? Who said Nigerians are too big to find jobs in the UK, or that Nigerians can't find jobs in the UK? If you're qualified, you should be able to find jobs anywhere. In fact, there is a process for getting authorization to work in the UK or most other countries, if you have the required skills and qualifications.

In fact, for a country with a huge population of able-bodied and intelligent citizens, it's a crime that we are more or less absent in the global jobs market. A market where aircraft technicians from the Phillipines are hired to work in Angola, or drilling technologists from India are hired to work in Aberdeen. Rather, the OP says he's a poultry farmer in Nigeria, and is thus better off than anybody working in the UK. Utter nonsense.
What a pity. With this kind of attitude, the nation can never develop.

Ironically you applauded a post by rman and then went on to make a comment that was completely at tangent to the meaning of OP's . The core of Pafun's post was that you may live anywhere you like as long as you have a job there, and if you don't have a job there anymore kindly go somewhere else or return home instead of becoming a nuisance and spoiling the place for other Nigerians with clearer vision. I would have thought that made perfect sense.

I also share the belief that there are jobs everywhere, but most of us fail to be alert because we are too stero type.we are so used to one way that we dont want to look for another if that one is not working

What is "proper" job? As long as you are doing honest work on your own volition and you are earning a money, its proper work. The person who started this post is one of those people who think any job outside wearing suit in an office is not work. Loads of Nigerian are doing "proper" honest work from my end of the UK. I am proud to be Nigerian especially when I see those doctors and lawyers, nurses who do their jobs competently. Trust me there are loads of them. We recently installed a new computer system where I work. The project leader is Nigerian. A young Nigerian in his 20s. At least 2 other Nigerians are in the team as well.

Even the people doing what you consider not to be proper job are earning a living and doing wonders back home or surviving with tier families. It depends on where you look or the society you find yourself. My job has brought me in contact with very successful Nigerians. Even yours trully is earning far higher than any employer would pay me for the same job back home.

Research properly before you talk or undermime hard working Nigerians abroad. We all cannot be in Nigeria. Some of us have to be here flying the green white green. Some people's opportunity or destiny lie outside the shores of naija.
