it can't stop me from going somewhere.

there are 2 groups of commentators here:

the optimistic ones in UK

and the pessi-mis-ts.

person miss to stay
back.

2000 doctors leave Nigeria yearly

LordsApostle:

brother, there are many kids on nairaland that have no slightest idea what the world is all about, under mummy's breast and lovely meals... U shouldn't waste precious time on banters with such.. Just pass your point across and move on.. Any mature and sensible reader can decipher hard facts and sensibility when such is seen.
I'm currently making my way to the UK though, on work visa... My target is another country, just want to get the UK experience as it gives a better chance. I pray it turns out well..

Stay blessed bro.

LordsApostle:
please what's the difference between, room, studio and flat? Thanks.

erico2k2:

In the UK
A room is just 4 walls your typical bedroom with wadrobe thats it

A studio is a Room with its own toilet and bathroom,living space and kitchen facilities attached togetehr exclusivly for the occupant .

A flat is a complete living space ie bedroom(s),living room (palour) kitchen toilet bathroom mayB storage and its own Entrance door, 90% of the time does not have a garden

LordsApostle:
okay, so in other words, the studio is more like our self - contain here in Nigeria, that is, it is without a sitting room. That means it will lack TV set, and radio, to keep one updated? Am I correct?
Pardon my asking, I'm seeking to relocate to the UK, anywhere aside from London, so I'm looking at building my financial portfolio and making good research. thanks.

More innumerate rubbish. I've actually lived in the UK for a substantial amount of time, and unlike your barely-literate self, I've done so as a highly paid professional, making more than even the typical British doctor or barrister does until very late in their careers (think 6 figures in GBP). Even for those making at least £60k/year, life in London can be a struggle, with rents for 1-bedrooms in Zone 3 going for at least £1,200/month, rising to £2,200/month to live in a decent 1-bedroom in Zone 1. Even before getting to the issue of rent, UK taxes and national insurance are far higher than anything Nigerians are used to, and unless you're a long-term UK resident who is entitled to income support, you won't be getting any of that back to subsidise your lifestyle.

I repeat: anyone claiming as you do that one can make £30,000 a year in London while "hustling" is telling ridiculous lies. Even as a legal immigrant, without highly desirable skills the only sorts of jobs one can hope for are minimum wage roles, but the UK minimum wage is currently only £7.83, which works out to only £78.30 working as many as 10 hours a day, or less than £1,300/month if the job is a full-time one where one is guaranteed 40 hours/week: of course, typical minimum-wage jobs in fast-food, sanitation, supermarkets, etc. offer such sustained employment, most being at best part-time and highly irregular. This sort of money is barely enough to eat, pay for a travelcard, buy the cheapest second-hand clothes, and live in a dirty, cold, cramped bedsit far out from central London, which in turn means hours commuting each way to and from a sh*t job where you'll be treated by everyone as if you were less than human.

As for illegal immigrants who have no legal protections and must take whatever they can get working cash-only jobs, even the miserable existence of an unskilled legal resident will seem like heaven. What do you do when the farmer you've been breaking your back picking lettuce for decides he doesn't feel like paying you? What if the hotel where you've been washing dishes and cleaning toilets decides to only pay you £2.50/hour for your time, instead of the £5/hour they promised. Will you be stupid enough to report authorities who will immediately arrest you, throw you in a holding facility for 6 months and then deport you? Of course not, you'll keep your mouth shut and take whatever humiliation your illegal employer decides to dish out. The only way an illegal immigrant can "hustle" in London and make big money is by engaging in criminal activities like fraud and drug trafficking, and there are already more than enough such types in the UK disgracing Nigeria, thank you very much.

hello , Bros , am about attend driving school ( I will be 28 this year , no job ) , what is possibility of getting driving job out there , pls

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 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

Akalia:
Sir thanks for the fish you intend to intend to give me as a christmas gift but I need to catch the fish myself, please assist me with any job you can.

My marriage is a young one and it can't stop me from travelling to make a living for myself . I and my wife are yet to have offsprings and she is eager to have me get a job, so she wouldn't mind my staying away from home because of a job.

Thane:


Good afternoon sir, I'd be rounding up service soon, I'm a graduate of Anatomy. I have been reading up about migration to UK after NYSC but everything is just mumbled up. Thank God i saw your post here saying you are quite knowledgeable in this.
I have questions please.

For somebody low on funds, what is the best way (student/work visa or any other way) to enter the UK?
Pls can you tell me if i have any chance of moving to the UK as a fresh Nigerian graduate with no work experience.

I really appreciate your answer sir

sultan1014:

I am a graduate of biochemistry (First Class honors) and I completed my service six months ago and still yet to get a job. am hunting for job, seriously need someone to assist me on this. Also, I am unable to attend some of the interviews I was invited due to long distance and inability to afford the transportation fare. Please sir I beseech your assistance in any way you can, even if it's a teaching job
