MrMcJay:
UK is not a place to go hustle. There's a lot of protectionism coming into play caused by Brexit. Besides, I doubt if you have the required skills to land well paying opportunities in the UK.

Get a better destination and forget about the UK.

Better destination like where please?

okay you have to be precise now. The 80k you get in Nigeria how much do you pay for transportation, feeding etc and in London are you going to, do you have a permanent resident card? you have to state all this so your question can be properly answered.
Nice one there!

Erme can I ask U a question ?
Do you know earning 2k in the UK means earning 30k plus per year ?
Do you know the Police and the Army earn less than that at entry point ?
Do U also know that a 2k job means you are middle class ?

Do you know that house rent in UK is £500-750 monthly? (A months rent in London is a year's rent in Nigeria)

Do you know that council taxes is £200-300?

Do you know that the tax on £2k is about 15%?

Utility bills £200

Insurance?

Transport?

Food?

Foreign countries are expensive to live in, my £2k analysis is best case senerio probably a bank job or ppi.

Make sure you get your work permit before you come to hustle in london . Without your work permit it would be hard for you to get a job . UK has changed alot and with the strict immigration rules now it's not easy .make sure you do your home work well honestly it's not easy no more Runs in the uk if you are caught na go be o
you are xtreemly ignorant, plz visit the travel section more for update, you earn work permit not get it.

PS When I say U r ignorant its not meant as an insult rather pointing to ur naivness.

If you are to travel to any country,try and develop a lucrative skill set like programming,social media consultancy,etc. also never travel without a plan.

If you are not willing or able to do this then you are better off starting a business with high Return on Investment in Nigeria that has scalability.

Everyone seems to think that once you leave the country will it automatically become rich.

I recommend you go online and check, I'm aware that psychiatric nurses are in high demand and also big data expert's. I can't choose for you cos u are the one going to pay the price.
Re: Is Going To London To Hustle Better Than An 80k Job In Nigeria? by nairalandchris: 8:44am On Sep 29, 2018
First and foremost, do you have the visa yet or you are counting your chicks before the eggs hatch.


2. Why would you go to the UK to hustle and you live in London? You will spend your whole money on bills. I laugh at my friends living in London and complaining. Apart from the Nigerian community support and transport system, I don't like it.

In London, a 1bedroom flat cost btw £1200 to £2000 depending it's proximity to central London. But in Liverpool and Manchester, you could get same accommodation for £400.

3 if you are illegal in london you go suffer, I swear you go suffer.
People will take advantage of you and use you.
Even people that are below your level if you guys were in Nigeria. But if you are unmarried maybe God will help you find a woman. Then quickly start a family life. But then to still get the documentation will be very hard and they will trouble your soul before you get it.


4. I regretted going to the UK during my first two years. It was very hard for me. I suffered many afflictions to my soul but I didn't want to come back empty to Nigeria.
But in third year, God made me to mile. Changed my story for the better. Now those that use to help me now borrow & beg me for money. Don't ask me what I did.
So n.a. destiny. grin

5. It is worth it if you are able to suffer awhile. I have friends who are 10 years illegal here and have nothing, not even a land to show for it back home.


6. The best way to think about going aboard is not to hustle but to live a quality life. There are those born here and are broke and homeless or facing stro g financial challenges. What then is the possibility that you will come here and blow up.
At all at all, you will be at most average, and die an advance man here. tongue

I believe I have shared my 2 cent.

If your intention of traveling outside is for the purpose of hustling, remove UK from your list. Visa to UK is expensive and you can't use student visa to secure a job. Tuition fee is also expensive and if you manage to find your way in for business, taxes and government levies are inevitable. You virtually pay for everything and if you must own a well furnished house with two exotic cars or more, you must provide evidence of good and legitimate earnings.
UK lifestyle makes one miserly and stingy.

bross I know all there is to know in the Uk, I have lived here 18 years, I have worked in the private sector and public sector, SO when I am talking Im talking from vast knowledge and expirience.The watch word is Plan well, have an Entry strategy and exit strategy, dont get carried away by shiny things then u r good to go.\\this society works, and with every working society people thrive and progresss if U r ready to get down and dirty!
Sometimes most of you just come on here and talk about what u know next to nothing about,
for example
Insurance. What has that got to do with a person who just migrated to the Uk? what is he Insuring?
Utility Bills £200? where did U get that figure from plz? there are rooms going in SE London for £450 all bills inclussive even Internet.
Transport, £110 will get you amonthly pass from zone 1 to 3 for those taking the underground, but the Buses are way cheaper, now people ride bike to work or simply live near work .
when we say earn 2k it was after tax not B4 tax hence I said a person earning 2K means 30£k plus per year
Still on tax, It is a personal matter, we all have tax code, your circumstances determins your tax code, so its not a blanket %
You are talking about Council Tax, let me Educate you.You only Pay council tax when you rent a whole House or Flat, When you rent a Room you do not pay council Tax in lump sum, it is inclussive in ur rent.as we speak there are self contains going for £600 in SE18 and SE28 all Bils inclussive ,water,gas,electric,Council tax,TV licence and Internet.
you got any more explanations you want cleared

One problem with you people is that you don't read through the lines before misquoting someone probably because your understanding is too shallow. I pin pointed so many factors that make living in UK difficult. These factors tend to make one overprudent in spending.

Your not telling people what jobs they can get when they come there. Your only talking from your own position, which is easy because you have been there.

Some people that just travel they will suffer.

As a London returnee I will advice thus; Sit your a.ss down in Naija if you're not going to London with a clear plan like a specific job offer or an academic pursuit. Nothing like 'just going to hustle' there. You go wash toilet or stand like lamp post as security tire. That country has limited opportunities and is not conducive for random hustle..Try America.

I assume this is you stylishly enquiring about way to go if U ever find urself in london.
OK Now that you asked, I will assume OP has a genuine reason and way(legit) to enter the UK
If thats the case there are entry Jobs for Despirate people, lets assume his spouse is the one asking him to come to the Uk after wedding and he gets the VISA

Depends on waht you read in 9ja you can top up, but if you ended in econdary school
lets start from the worse JOBS
You can
Go and Join Viola
Do Security
Work in construction
Get a licence and Drive
Work as a civil Enforcement Officer
Work asFactory worker
Do a short 2 weeks course o n Care work and start from there.
or if U r young join the apprentorship wargoon.
These all do not need qualification, you can do them for 6 months and gather urself and upgrade
However if U r a professional then you can go into ur chosen field.
If \u know U know
