Gerrard59:The average wage is not even that much, it shocked me to see the average wage of a British..so so poor. Like how do you even survive on such wages,except you are a banker or in the IT. Listening to British lamentations from my interactions with them, compared to an average Nigerian complaints, to be honest I’ve came to the conclusion life is hard every where. Perhaps all these spending of millions of naira on Uk study visa may not be a wise thing after all. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

sokeril:let me tell you why. Oyibo is a leveller. You enjoy 24hrs light, 24hrs water, 24hrs internet, snow, fireworks, train rides, skydiving, good roads, maximum security, no mosquito, no generator fumes, free school fees and meals, playground for your kids, a lot of parks, a lot of food, international culture, AC standard weather. Whether you are a cleaner, security or you dey pack shit you would enjoy the same thing a ceo in a company is enjoying. Many people in Nigeria will not experience one quater of these things in their lifetime. So when people in abroad complain na these things dey keep them there. 35 Likes 3 Shares |

jesmond3945:I see... Personally all those things you listed are not actually enough to keep me happy. I don’t like feeling out of place anywhere I am. And bro I honestly do not have problems with people who want to travel especially if they just started life and are still struggling here and there. It’s those that really have no genuine reason to travel(other than peer pressure,inferiority complex,greed and unrealistic expectations) One man in my area,47 years sold all his businesses to japa to Canada,it will never make sense to me. I’ve opened a thread on my brother too, he is a lawyer(though wife is a nurse in UK)..someone who already has his own law firm, making money and even has lawyers working under him he is paying yet his wife is putting pressure on him to abandon that and come to the UK. Like abandon a profession he is prospering and thriving to japa to uncertainty. Will never make sense to me. 11 Likes 5 Shares |

sokeril: Wages in the UK and all of Europe except Switzerland have never made sense considering the cost of living. I omitted Nordic countries because of the high taxes compared to Switerland. The UK has a high cost of living, an economy that is not really diversified as the US, Canada or Germany etc. However, many choose the country because of the ease of getting a student visa. Check the German student thread, ditto Canada. It is tough to get a visa interview date as a prospective student to Germany, and Nigerian students get denied 8/10 attempts when applying for a student visa at the Canadian embassy. So, I perfectly understand why many are choosing the UK, especially as Oga Agbado looks like the winner come next year. 17 Likes 4 Shares |

sokeril:Has your brother experienced what 24 hours light means? Or has your brother sky dived before? Has your brother enjoyed a ship ride before? These experiences will be very expensive to have in naija or africa but in uk is nothing. What is the point of making all the money when a riff raff can snuff your life in a jiffy. Look at eboh media that was killed like a chicken in naija. Eboh media literally made nigerians come back because of his channel but where is he now? Leaving his wife and kid in uk to sell naija but what does he get? 20 Likes 3 Shares |
