Everything we buy in Nigeria that is not food has a correlation with the value of dollar , fuel, phone , satellite TV subscriptions, electronics etc

Trump was born in 1946. The definition of 'shithole' as 'a terrible, dirty, poor, or low-quality place' was first recorded between 1930-1935; over a decade before Trump was born.🤷🏾‍♂️

It's not by throwing insults around, dear boy. You need the brains to go along with it. 🤗

Hope you've registered for the webinar? Let's see if you can be good at one thing😉

That’s is nice!! Please what visa did you leave Nigeria with?

DaddyJapan:


So because you have relocated twice and it worked for you, there are no immigrant families living on the edge in the UK?
Since the view you expressed is characteristic of know-it-all japarists, who never take a holistic view of any situation, what's the point in engaging you further?

emmaodet:




The saddest part for me are the business men I know doing well and fine in Nigeria.
From 2020 to 2022 December, they just parked up and ran with family to UK.
Sold everything. I mean quarry trailers. 20 tons quarry trailers.
Some have 2, some 5 or more. Ballers in my area that the places they do take me to, big hotels and clubs and burning 100k on sitting. Doing fine and they just throw all these out the window to start afresh??
It is not as if anything happened to their businesses or they are struggling yet they just ran off. Sold off businesses, laid off workers yet we are complaining of unemployment when employers are running off.
It all looks like jazz or juju.
No one says you shouldn't travel but even traveling has categories.
These men are meant to apply for tourist visas or visitation because that is the category they fall into.
Going and coming back from vacations and visitations but No, they collapsed everything.
People who are struggling are the ones permanent relocation or Japa are meant for as an upgrade to their lives and not well to do guys.

The thing tire person bros.

Knew a former colleague in the U.K with his four kids and living fine.

How did he do it?

He came in with his wife first and they were managing one small room for accommodation thereby saving on rent. The wife was working full time all these time and saving cos she was the dependant and not limited.

During summer break (about 4 months), he worked his ass out with his wife, that way they completed his school fees and saved some money for a larger accommodation and other expenses and then brought his children in: 9 months after arriving. Pure calculation and dedication from the couple.

U.K has a way of amplifying anything that you were in Nigeria: if you smart before, you become smarter.

And if you were dumb, OYO is your case.

Right005:


Abhi na. The US government will give them 30 million dollars upon landing in America. Free housing, free cars, free healthcare etc. most people that japa to America earn over $1M per month from menial jobs. Nigeria is a bad country I swear. Your last born, in a month time from now will soon buy his own house in Nigeria.

TheNewAgeFarmer:
You just assume businesses are doing well but owners are crying at home.
It's hard to do business in Nigeria trust me.

Berryman63:
Only student visa was affected. There are a whole lot of other visa categories and yes you can bring your dependants on the others.

When the country is being wrecked by fools in power

Will u blame them for running away ?

Forget length of raising money.If u can raise money to travel abroad, then u are not a hungry man.Goto ielts exam centres n see d cars of guys coming to write ielts in order to japa.M telling u d poor in naija cannot afford to raise money to japa

maasoap:


Trust me. If you know the paroles behind these things, you will be amazed.
Do you know that there are syndicates who would sponsor you, put their money in your account after collecting their fees and once you crossed over, you will return their money ASAP. All the people I knew who travelled were struggling guys and couples and in many cases with huge debts.

Go and learn truck driving!

Not even only tech industry. California port is now fully automated that robot do the lifting of container from ships and automated machines moves it around and stack it. Basic tech work will disappear in few months from now.

Family regrets selling house and borrowing money to relocate abroad, now stranded and facing hardship

Akinwande IdowuJul 29, 2023

A Nigerian family with five children regrets finding themselves in dire straits after borrowing millions of naira, selling their house, and car to fund their relocation to the United Kingdom.

The family embarked on this life-changing journey with hopes for a better future, but their dreams have been shattered as they struggle to cope with financial challenges in a foreign land.

The family, headed by a mother with a study visa, made the decision to move to the UK in pursuit of higher education opportunities.

However, upon arrival, she was confronted with the reality that she needed to secure a post-graduate visa to be eligible to work in the country, a process that required a significant sum of money.

As a result, the mother has been unable to contribute financially to the family’s expenses, leaving her husband as the sole breadwinner.

According to the woman @gloriaotikor1, the situation has taken a toll on her family’s mental and emotional well-being. The creditors who lent her money in Nigeria are incessantly calling her, expecting repayment now that she is in the UK.

However, with no means of income and mounting bills, the family is facing an uncertain and distressing future.

Despite their efforts to secure funds, the woman has been unable to complete her school fees, putting her educational aspirations at risk. As a result, the family is trapped in a cycle of debt, struggling to make ends meet in a foreign country with limited resources.

The husband’s job, though providing some income, is insufficient to cover the rent and provide for the needs of their five children.

Ibos will not pay school fees.

They will prefer to carry drugs and their women will prefer Ashawo work.

PARADIZEPRIEST:
LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP.ALL THAT GLITTER ARE NOT GOLD.
INVESTIGATE BEFORE YOU MOVE,DONT BE A YOUNG FOOOL.
Once we correct the mistrust in nigeria everybody will enjoy.
E.g If you collect loan to run business ,try and pay back as agreed,so that trust can grow
If you are a student and collect loan to study,work hard to pay as you can
If you agree to do a legit deal with someone secure your trust by not double crossing etc.Live sane life lets begin to trust ourselves for mutual benefits.

DesChyko:
Nah people wey no get people outside Nigeria go dey fall for this nonsense talk sha. This anti-japa sentiments; hunting for those who managed to screw up their migration started because APC are trying to fight Doctors seeking a better life abroad; a life Nigeria can't offer them. That changes little. Most people who left the shores of Nigeria to the Western World are having it better. That is the only reason it is still a big thing down the years.

I knew Nigeria as a setup is a shithole. I knew it, owned it, adapted to it and will keep striving to beat the system. While I'm at it, I'm also vested in either making it better for my kids or give them a cozy escape route.

Imagine if I was hiding from the reality of being a Nigerian; It's the lack of adaptability that will make me settle for the nonsense these leeches ruling Nigeria today have to offer and the excuses they cook up for their incompetence.

As John Obidi will say, Nigeria has her own set of rules, different from other parts of the world. You adapt or you lose out. Which reminds me, he's having a webinar on Zoom powered by WEMA Bank. Do well to attend

Mayeldah:
The whites are now the scammers, we are the victims.

All these 'I want a better life for my kids' crew, there you have it. Thread with caution; all that glitters is not gold.

In fact, if you earn at least a N300,000 monthly here in Nigeria, be reluctant to travel abroad. You are not doing badly.

ba7man:
Your N 25 million is just £25,000.

The UK will collect all that money from you if you don't settle down on time with a job.

Some risk it and get lucky, some don't, just keep grinding.

StudentsNG:
Who told you it takes 20yrs to get a house abroad?

Raalsalghul:


Na true you talk bro, but you go weigh the risk now.

Okay let me ask you a question.

Can you carry Burnley for a straight win in a match against Manchester City?

Even for gamble, small calculations dey inside.

Calitoscassius:
Whatever this family sold to "yapa" to the UK they will never ever never ever get or buy back in the next 30 years they will live in the UK. Is it not this same UK i was born and bred? Yea right! My father was bus driver for 35 years, worked very hard many hours, luckily for him he managed to pay off his East London 2 bedroom house. He bought in 1978 for £68000, the house was worth £460000 when he sold it. That is the only thing he got outta the UK, apart from me and my sister. He has since sold his house and returned back to Alaigbo with his wife. Said he didn't want to die in the freezing UK weather..

Segzy23:


So because your Father was a bus Driver and chose that career, does that mean that is the way things will work out for everyone? He chose the career he wanted, if he had a different career, he probably would have been able to take much more from the UK back to Nigeria. Don't look at everyone from the same lens mate.
