Don't Travel To The UK: No Jobs Anymore by Omoboy(m): 5:12pm On Aug 07, 2006
Please tell anyone coming to the UK that the UK has no jobs anymore.

I know a lot of Nigerians that are really finding things hard here mainly because they came in through visiting visa and have no papers to work. Unless you have papers to work, it is not worth coming.

My people, what do you all think and members in America is it the same?

There are still Jobs for Illegals in many sectors in this vibrant economy. Retail,Service,Hospitality,Construction Sectors are always hiring. But please be warned, these are back breaking jobs and you will probably be getting only $7-$8 per Hour. But yeah it has gotten harder to get a job without papers. Back in the days you just needed your SSN number and any picture ID. Now you have to bring a lot more documents even for a retail job.

Re: Don't Travel To The UK: No Jobs Anymore by Hunter(m): 5:55am On Aug 08, 2006
Really dumb idea travelling on illegal papers, if your caught here (which people usually are) you are deported and owe the government the cost of the time you've spent in immigration holding (can be months) and the cost of an airfare to return to your country. This cost would routinely be past US$10,000.

PLEASE TELL THEM MY PEOPLE

Leaving Nigeria with illegal papers is a waste of resources and energy. if they use such energy on any venture in Nigeria, it would yeild better results

Re: Don't Travel To The UK: No Jobs Anymore by CHOCHORI(m): 12:20pm On Aug 08, 2006
this is a true fact, if you are coming to the uk with or without papers without an already job vacancy and no much money, please forget it ! you will hit a hard rock and will regrect ever leaving the boarders of naija.

told lots of my mates but they didnt listen but now they are a hell of troubles. currently theres no job for both people with papers and without papers.both skilled and unskilled jobs.

it will be very hard for a new londoner to secure jobs. dont wnt to push it hard yet.
Re: Don't Travel To The UK: No Jobs Anymore by clocky(m): 12:38pm On Aug 08, 2006
on the contrary i think there are lots of PROFESSIONAL jobs available for u especially if u have some years of experience and you come in legally.
Re: Don't Travel To The UK: No Jobs Anymore by kajad(m): 12:40pm On Aug 08, 2006

i can assure you that 50% of Nigerians out here want to return home but are either stock or are ashamed of thier meagre achievement. People back home expect[b] so[/b] much of you that if you go back as you are, you'll be regarded as a BLLB(Bo se Lo, Lo se Bo) (he returned just as he left).
and who wants that

Re: Don't Travel To The UK: No Jobs Anymore by waleleader(m): 4:15pm On Aug 08, 2006
people in Nigeria expect so much of you, they think you would have become a millioniare by spending a few years abroad. na so e easy?
Re: Don't Travel To The UK: No Jobs Anymore by soulpatrol(f): 5:11pm On Aug 08, 2006
i know eh. within couple of months of landing abroad, they expect you to start sending money. haba! they dont know that one has to work to the bone in order to get paid around here. its not like naija where you can punch in/sign in to work and just lazy around and not work. im tired of people asking me for money! ive got heaps of bills to pay too! im not father christmas aka santa claus!  cool

my2cents* this doesnt really settle it  grin

I know a lot of Nigerians that are really finding things hard here mainly because they came in through visiting visa and have no papers to work.  Unless you have papers to work, it is not worth coming.


i think that should apply to both countries  grin, there are tons of jobs in the UK ,there are truck loads of polish,slovakian*, and other EU citizens coming in every hour at victoria station. Within 1 week they are working usually before they even apply for the N.I and trust me they work like horses they never get tired

funny enough £1 is like 50 to their currency getting the minimun wage is like gold to them and £1 is like N250 but most people are never satisfied even with dodgy immigration status
Re: Don't Travel To The UK: No Jobs Anymore by walel: 5:15pm On Aug 09, 2006
The truth is you cant discourage people from coming legally or otherwise but when dem reach yonder them eyes go clear one time. A word is never enough for the wise in this case na experience be the best teacher oh how i wish i could give visa to all my people wey go dey wahala me make them come here come take their eyes see wetin dem no expect !

@ Osteen

I live in Canada. The french here sucks because it is bush french kinna like Franglais.

Getting a job in Canada is quite difficult because this country has a lot of specialized skilled areas, you can't work here illegally under any circumstance, if you're caught you will be thrown out. The people that will catch you are the Tax people (I work for them tongue) and they are merciless if you haven't been paying taxes.
Re: Don't Travel To The UK: No Jobs Anymore by enolase(m): 8:57pm On Aug 09, 2006
You must have a UK degree or job experience in order to get a good job in the UK.

Anyone leaving Nigerian for the UK should do so using a student visa (in essence, registering for a degree)

This guarantees an automatic work permit (max of 20 working hours a week).

Once you are through with your degree, there will be more than enough jobs.

But if you jump out straight to the UK with no Uk degree or job experience, then forget it. You go really suffer! cry
