While others are returning from the UK to establish here, and start businesses. People travel because they want to make foreign exchange via work, some Nigerians make foreign exchange from Nigeria. Not everyone likes to live in a foreign western country, a lot of rich men here, their kids are abroad, they are here. You like abroad some like Nigeria. Enjoy your abroad in peace.

Dshocker:
This is quite alarming 🚨🚨🚨🚨...

The money they spent to japa could have been used to establish here.

Adabestseason:
It is high time,a state of new nigeria is created in the UK,so that we can move our patterns down there.

creativehubb:

You are still a poor man in the UK living in a 450pounds house. The thing is, poor people don't know some average Nigerians make more than 3 million naira a month from businesses and services right here in Nigeria, and they don't have to work their ass off, pack shit and be treated like a second class citizen. In the UK you are at the bottom of the food chain, but as a poor man you were in Nigeria, you are compensated by seeing white people and fine environment around you. That your salary for UK wey dey make you feel funky...do you have 3000 pounds left a month after paying all your bills?

Don't think everyone is desperate and poor like you were in Nigeria, most of una, na village una from travel, that's why the small foreign exchange dey ginger you

I thought you were doing good, till I hear 450pounds house, na poor man area be that, in London selfcon or studio is from 600 pounds upwards monthly, and you will pay security deposit. No pride in slaving your life away, so many others make so much more with their brains. As una dey travel go help UK do their menial and hard jobs that their people refuse to do, na so others dey come back to Nigeria, after the neo enslavement tire them.

creativehubb:

I make more than that some months. You are still at the bottom of the food chain. A rat is a rat, even in heaven. Stop bragging when you are poor. Middle class in UK live in London apartments 2000 pounds a month, some Nigerian hustlers there too live that lifestyle. Stop abusing Nigeria because you are poor.

It's poor dumb people who depends on employment to survive in Nigeria that are craving to travel out, business men with two normal shops make much more than 3million a month. Stop bragging you are poor, in Nigeria you were poor, in UK still poor. Do you think everyone can live that austerity life, just work, chop and sleep

Can you afford to go to lounge, pubs, have a good time, or are you just existing there?

Work, chop, sleep and die. Mugu. It's saboteurs like you that hate their own country and enemies of Nigeria that release such fake data, young freelancers, young hustlers are making more than 3000 pounds a month from Nigeria, Ghana etc, you dey UK dey slave away dey brag, like na today people don dey go slave away in UK

Why so bitter mate? I only said my decision not others. There are so many skilled job especially for engineers here with mouth watering numerations only If you have the requirements

Coldie:
This is a BIG lie.

That's how we were made to beleive that over 3m NIGERIANs live in the US but their census figures show that it's not up to 1m.

Read again and spot out your foolishness fraudster. You don't know me and you call me poor. 😂😂😂 . I won't stoop too your level explaining what I'm worth or what I earn but one thing I'm very sure of is that I can fix you . I'm not the cause of your frustration so take your bitterness elsewhere

osothermal:
Some Nigerians! Are you one of them? Fraudster. Do you know the meaning of poverty? Why are you so pained? Did i force you to relocate? You sound so stupid callin somebody you don't know poor. I laugh 😂😂😂. I can fix you if you'll be humble

BoldBrainz:


It's not a lie. You should go to embassies in Nigeria to see the consistent daily crowds. Third cousin of mine moved with his family about 2 months ago.

Young and career driven Nigerians are leaving the country in droves. I'm still even here cause my money never complete..😁

Go and hustle, eat, sleep and die. I don't need to work like a horse and earn like a rat like you to live good. Na your village poor people you go use abroad pose for. Living on the bottom of the good chain and still bragging

BoldBrainz:


😂.
What's the essence of staying when even you have refused to give me joy? The country is depressing and your "shakara", even more so.

Montaque:
Our parents tried to change Nigeria, when they tried unsuccessfully, they gave up and left. We stood in their absence, tried the same thing but gave up, now we are leaving. See the number each year. The best of our best heads are leaving every year. Who will change Nigeria if we all leave?

maasoap:


It is because you don't understand why the number is high. Educational visa which made provision for applicant to bring in dependants was responsible for more than half of this figure! That opportunity has gone.
Then, some of the remaining less than half will lose interest in applying. That's because, to further their education was not even the reason they applied in the first instance. To allow the dependants to work is the primary motive. Take that opportunity away and see the figure drop sharply.
So, you too should screenshot this and keep for future reference.

creativehubb:

Do you know that number is less than 0.5% of our population... people travel normally for business, shopping etc, Nigerians have been travellers from time imemorial...the way Nigerians currently promote japa syndrome online like it's only us that travel, makes countries see us finish, and out of fear introduce restrictions on granting Nigerians visas. People from all over the world travel, not just Nigerians. Make we no dey caste ourselves, other nations go dey restrict us, no be Nigeria worse pass for this world, all these lambasting of Nigeria, affects everyone negatively. Nobody likes people with bad stories or image.

gammarays:

Dem no dey use hardship do nyanga.

Even the people with the responsibility of making the country better dey japa for many reasons. Their families don jakpa finish.

It's a shame comparing Nigeria with other bad countries, other developing countries have progressed and left us behind.

It's not a crime to go from bad to fair or good but going from bad to worse is evil.

creativehubb:

Mumu, big men dey send their children abroad remain here, because they do business, and make enough money that you slave your life away for over there. Lots of my family and friends travel for holiday, business, and just for visits. You poverty stricken economic immigrants no want us to hear word

Maybe na poor people full where you run away from, but I am in Lekki Lagos, na rich people I dey see here. No glory in doing peasant jobs abroad... enjoy your abroad in peace, don't just spoil our image there. I wonder why you people think everyone's dream is to travel out and serve white people like slaves...if you are doing menial jobs at 40 years na suffer you dey.

Na you dey use hardship do nyanga not me, after washing plate and doing nonsense, you will go oppress your wretched village people

MT:


You finished the guy no be small.

They simply don't get it. Most of them rely on hearsay and build their expectations on that. No one says people should not travel. We are only saying lower your expectations. Be realistic. Imagine the guy saying cleaners are balling than bank managers in Nigeria. How ignorant can one be? What a comparison.

So, when he sells his family house to travel abroad, he will expect to become a millionaire within few months. If he doesn't, he either goes into depression or take to crime. They are simply irredeemable.

They feel it ends there when you own a foreign passport. They forget that if you do not back it up with sought-after skillsets in the UK, it comes to nothing.

I pray and wish that they give most of them visa, so that they will have first hand experience of what suffering and pressure are all about.

creativehubb:

I have been abroad severally, na poor village people abroad be like heaven to. Why will I go abroad to live and suffer when I do my business here, make money, have maids, have helps. Most of those that come here to brag about being abroad are poor people, the poverty has messed their mentality up. Those are the people perpetuating the modern day slavery. It's sad because people from all over the world travel, but these clowns will make it seem like all Nigerians are leaving Nigeria, lol.

MT:


I cant agree with you less. It is common sense that if you want to go to a place, you seek for guidance from those who have gone before you. But hell no, they feel white man's land is the ultimate.

Look at Canada for instance. You can convert your visitor's visa to work permit if you get a job with a LMIA-licensed job - In reality, they created this so that foreigners can come and do jobs which Canadians refuse to do - menial jobs. Tell me, how much is the wages? How will these people survive in such an expensive place without support?. And path to getting PR is not even smooth and straightforward because Canada knows they bring no tangible skillset to the table.

People pretend to go to school in the UK, yet they do not learn anything. They contract out their assignments - It's like gifting UK universities money all in the name of just going abroad. These generations of Nigeria travellers are the worst. 10 years down the time, most would have been lost in the system in a very bad way.

Voiceofthestree:


Go to Liverpool you go think say nah oshodi you deh

creativehubb:

The other funny part is they forget they will spend dollars there as well, most forget to calculate cost of living there. Nigerians going there for menial jobs benefit the Western world more, because they will help them provide services that their citizens won't do, increase the volume of their pension revenue, cater for their elderly population, they will pay taxes to Canadian government, pay rent to Canadian landlords and buy goods and services there...so their country gains, while the immigrants just get by.
