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.

erico2k2:

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 her 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? waht 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

spiritedtete:

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

bro answer this question, is it advisable for a graduate earning 25k per month as teacher to go and hustle in UK with visiting visa or he should stay back with the teaching job?

Thank you, sometimes not even for yourself for teh sake of ur Unborn kids,

Where exactly in SE London can one find these "£450/month all-inclusive" rooms you mention? And what kind of work would this wannabe "hustler" be doing in London for his or her workplace to be close to such a cheap room? And since when has earning £2,000 a month translated into £30,000 a year? Are you using some other sort of arithmetic than the one I'm familiar with, according to which the right figure should be £24,000?

Stop peddling lies and impossible dreams to the OP: London is one of the most expensive cities in the world, where even natural-born British citizens with decent jobs as policemen and teachers have real difficulty getting by, even when they've moved to the far outskirts of the city. Sums like £120 a day or £2,000 a month can seem like a lot to a Nigerian who is only thinking in terms of raw exchange rates, but once the cost of living in London is factored in, they turn out to be peanuts, not enough to sustain anything more than a barebones existence. For an unskilled wannabe illegal immigrant like the OP - with all the talk of "hustling" - even such low sums will be out of reach, and in the meantime there will be the constant strain from having to dodge authorities on the watch for, while working the sh*ttiest, low-prestige jobs where one's self-esteem will take a daily sustained battering. The notion that London is any sort of El-Dorado for someone who doesn't have in-demand skills is pure delusion.

To the OP, I'll say this much: if you aren't a qualified nurse or doctor, don't have strong programming skills, and aren't an engineer or accountant with years of experience at international firms like Shell and PWC, don't bother setting out for London, as all you are likely to find - if you ever even make it into the country in the first place - is suffering, humiliation and constant fear, living life at the very bottom rung of society. There are many "hustlers" in the UK who would love to return to what they had in Nigeria, but are unable to do so out of fear of losing face to all the people back home they've been feeding false tales of prosperity over the years.

GreenCap:


80,000 Naira is not up to 200 Pounds.

what are you waiting for?

jump into British Airways ASAP

or stay back and earn less than 1 million per year.

living in London is hassle but not too hard.

Depreacherman:
Broh what's 80k job when you have the opportunity to leave Africa. is better to work in restaurant in a country that has a good system. You will even live longer, than working in a bank in a country where the whole system is in shamble.

rman:
You better stay back. There are several Nigerian hustlers in London that will gladly come back to take that 80k job.

Unless you have some very special skills in some certain fields which you feel pays well over there.

There is always room for growth here.

BestDude:
rather start thinking like a business man and earn super more than 80k here in Nigeria.
