when you go there and work then you will know why they are stingy.  you can't give what you don't have, they don't have so they can't give

some corrections made,
hi y'all,this is an interesting topic
some funny answers, some accurate replies n some people who r really pissed
and so on

i used to visit d UK since 98 but decided 2 stay after a few visits
I've lived in the UK for a short while now n i must say it has NOT been easy
WHO NO GO NO KNOW

most of us (NOT ALL) who comes here are illegal immigrants expecting a lot (great things).
we may have com here
wit some form of i.d: visa or other documents but d visa is 4 visit only,your not allowed to
work, no recourse 2 public funds. then it expires or u have overstayed when u haven't even
found your feet. some documents r useless to us immediately we arrive. we do dagbo papers
4 work n go underground n pray each sec of d day not  2 b found out by our employers,
immiga n olakpa for loss of work, jail n deportation reasons

before i arrived in d UK my mom's cuzin promised me a place 2 stay but when i
arrived at heathrow in the morning,i cud not get hold of him on d phone until
that evening. i was at d airport for 3 hrs  before i decided to call a family friend's
brother (this number was given to me on my way to Lagos Airport d day before i
arrived in d uk - Lucky 4 me),he asked me to take a cab to his place.
NAIVE me i used a black cab (d meter starts running wit at least 2 pounds before u
enter d cab) which i paid for but v.expensive! I never TRY AM AGAIN

i was very grateful for him letting me stay (some people have no where to stay when
dey arrive here,some sleep in cars, 24 hrs buses, train station,etc) but I WAS not
too grateful afterwards because within 2 months i was kicked out of 3 houses by people i knew
from back home including d 1st 1 (family friend's bro's wife n mother in-law kicked me
out at 11pm on a winter's day)
God knows that i didn't offend any of them

2 B CONTINUED

to davidylan n CONTINUED,

Most of us do not prepare or no how hard it is before we embark on our journey to the UK or abroad
i realised that visiting wit my hubby then who had a hse here n staying (now divorced) were 2 diff things
it becomes a case of making it anyway u no how, most people 1st job na early morning cleaning.
Everybody 4 Nigeria no say we don jand
na shame to go back wit nutin n no achievement [/font] e.g. house, bungalow, who u don
carry com jand (especially if u are d oldest in ur family like moi), etc
Some people don't care, dey go back home shortly after dey arrive because dey can’t stand d struggle

It took me more than 2 months to get someone's papers to work wit, some people take much longer.
I started wit less than 5 pounds an hour which was minimum wage back then and d truth is
this is wot most of us get paid which is now about 5.35 pounds an hour (min wage).

Who dash us 3,000 pounds a month job and wot kind of job is that? U can’t bring ur 1st degree
from Nigeria and use it here or get a WELL PAID job straight away without studying here 1st or
with some years of experience as a highly skilled immigrant but these jobs has to be filled
with British people 1st before immigrants can fill shortages. U can’t bribe any 1 to get a job. D only thing u can
do is tell a Nigeria or paki employer say u no get paper, dey will employ u for sure but b prepared to
be used, underpaid n fired anytime
people be HONEST!

2B CONT

CONTD,

i don tire 4 london,am considering going back home now. it's not been all bad, no nepa failure,good roads,water,hospital,clean air,freedom of speech,no babangidas n abachas (coruption),no degrading or ill treating of women/girlfriend/wives,armed robbery,etc but for me personally,e don too much (good times don't last long).no bro no sis 4 here oh U ARE ON UR OWN, especially when ur sick or no job and u no get genuine paper,na suffer but if u get no wahala,govt go take care of u

i brought my parents to visit and 6 of my sibblings (got them genuine uk visas but e no easy oh,one of them was refused 6x before granted d visa) to stay or visit which is their choice unless dey are in uni back home but i have to sit them down and not just say e no easy, i break it down for them and i told them if u spoil ur visa without securing ur stay because of 1 flimsy excuse like u overstayed or got ursef into trouble,u have me to answer to
my sister stayed but she's turned into a total disrespectful,stingy and i don't care b**ch (am 6 years older than she is), she hardly calls her immediate family here or back home let alone friends

i always tell my siblbings not to ask/call people abroad 4 money for any reason because if it were me i'd b pissed too,  E NO EASY NA. i also tell them say if dey ask for money or anything from them people abroad,don't put ur hopes high, if them send wetin u ask fine if dey don't do not blame them        
some people say london dey change people but i personally believe that it depends on each individual, JUST TELL IT LIKE IT IS(please DO NOT GIVE people FALSE HOPE SO that DEY CAN FIND AN ALTERNATIVE ON TIME IF NEEDED). no long explaination (SAY NO OR SORRY I CAN'T) to people who are not ur immediate family or very close friends because dey might think that ur making it up or dey may be happy ur going through a rough patch.

am not d best,i've got my flaws and i don't have friends who disturbs me with phone calls, flashing or moni issues, etc we call each other once in a while to say hello

wish y'all all d best and remember

GOD NO DEY SLEEP
GOD DEY
NO ONE IS GREATER THAN GOD!

Very interesting.I have been opportuned to visit the UK a copule of times.I will like to say Nigerians in the Uk are very stingy but honestly i don't blame them.The life they live over there is harder than the one we live here.I normally stay with my cousin anytime i travel.He is a university student over there but he works more than 20hrs/wk.I can say i pity him so much when i see him wake up in the morning going to work instead of school and come back at night very hungry all in the name of paying bills.His bills in a month is about  700 pounds out of 1000 pound he earns.When i see Nigerians abroad sometime,tears flow volountarily from my eyes because of the life they are living.WE ARE ENJOYING IN NIGERIA O.Please if they don't pick up your calls,forgive them.Even my parents complain that i don't call regularly when i travel.Its just how the place is.I don't pray to live that kind of life o.The last time i travelled i was even the peron that bought chinese food for my cousins in London.I will like to say here that i don't belong to the rich in Nigeria.My parents are civil servants and i am a student.

Siena that is soooooo true.i have experienced it too.they overstay their welcome,and you'll feel so irritated.
someone i had not seen for a while called me one bright sunny day to say her sister was coming to london that same day and was going to stay in my house!!!!!!  it took the love of GOD not to abandon her at heathrow.Only for the woman to get here and i saw she was 7mth preggy. She is older than my husband and i. so we were both trying to be respectful.She always tell me-i want bread and cheese in the morning.I was pregnant myself,and i already had one child. She announced that she would have her baby here since her doctor in nigeria said it woild not be advisable to fly. My husband had to tell her to go. I was pregnant myself and she came to throw herself at me and my family? i only know her sister for crying out loud.

anyway,we had to get her a b&b till her baby was old enough to travel. Since that nightmare, i have been stingy to the teeth. Would anyone blame me.Imagine paying for a b&b for almost 6wks unplanned. 

awwwwwwwwww  man, hang on okay. will get back to ya real quick 

by the way, that drum wey dey near you, na for wetin? if no be ogogoro 

Hi Omoge,


I thot u would say happy new year too, howz where be that place wey u dey again sef?

u never buy ya phone eh? ok o i no dey hang in again o.

Hahhahahaha  Very funnny!

Its not their fault - l don't blame them in the first place, l blame those who granted them VISA 

Funniest trend in naira land …I had a good laugh last year when I read most of the post…. I most applaud Stingy Darfur and Elgaxton …,

It is very easy to say but do you know how the money is made. the answer is no. Well, i always try my best to keep intouch  with friends and family.
