I hope it is not Desmond that is opening all these cans of worms…

Unfortunately you can never understand women

Half caste is a derogatory term. Its called mixed race

manitobor:
What kinda system of government is this with no fixed number of years for the tenure of the head of government?

Prime minister coming and going at any time. Some 2 months, others weeks, just a few stay for years like Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher, John Major and a few others.

Cos prime minister is like senate president in Nigeria with no jagaban backing. Do anyhow, they remove u.

zeuss:
There for let us continue to allow only Fulani terrorist and kanuri bokoharam to bear arms and leave other Nigerian lives at the mercy of evil forces? Wait until it gets to you .

Unfortunately for you, it cant get to me. I will rather wait until everyone can bear arms and d effects gets to you. Webi it is only bandits and kidnappers u are battling with? Wait till everyone has arms. U think every country can ne like America?

This is what will happen in the UK if Farage and reform party wins the general election in 2029.

zeuss:
Does the OP prefer that the people remain unarmed and helpless as they are getting wiped off the face of the Earth. The irony of all this is that the people terrorizing Nigerians with kidnapping and death for their gains now were also terrorizing Nigerians 300 year ago with death and kidnapping and slavery during the era of the trans-saharan slave trade. They are devoid of humanity and will continue to pick off others as long as it is profitable. The only way to arrest these evil people is the ability to fight back bestowed with the possession of arms.
In conclusion, If every Nigerian is armed, armed criminality will cease to exist.

He actually made a lot of sense. Good luck to Nigerians bearing arms. Inter tribal clashes will become more blurdy

You are about to get played…

There will never be a protest about this in uk. Cos they are whites

Lol. One chance app… just a matter of time. Just like mmm

The ancestors of English people

QuinQ:
Even on their website those b4 the law are exempted. See below

Only those who got care work visas before march 2024 are exempted. Not those in the uk before march 2024. If u av been in the uk since 2022 on another visa with ur dependents, and u got ur care worker visa after march 2024 , HO can deny ur dependents. They have been allowing it even after march 2024 but recently Shabana decided to follow reform uk style of hating immigrants. She hates care workers with a passion. She even called them “so called care workers “. Note that her parents are immigrants from pakistan oo. But she wants to be more white than the whites!

This madness from HO started few weeks ago. They are discouraging people from doing care work now. If u have dependents already in uk dont go for care work. Your dependents’ visa will most likely be denied and told to leave. Shabana Mahmood is doing the work of reform uk for them. And it will get worse if reform uk takes over

I’m really interested in the remaining 30% dat don’t rely on generator. What do they use? Definitely not nepa

PulaPower:
Normal UK style..

Promotes Japa to UK…Collect enough money from people….After sometime, change the immigration laws to what won’t favour the immigrants…Send those immigrants away eventually..

After sometime, they’ll promote Japa again and repeat the same cycle..

Sha, I don’t blame UK o. There’s no way you’ll be hearing that some Africans do sell their properties to Japa come UK, and you’ll expect UK not to extract as much as possible… UK wey be king of extractors..

They are like MMM. they will open the japa again in few years and people will still sell their properties and repeat the same mental breakdown no matter the warning.

The most confused politician in Nigeria

Potential divorcee. She thinks marriage is like having a boyfriend.

Naya261:
I am married with Children, my wife is a registered nurse with about 8yrs working experience.

Please which one would you strongly advice Between Sponsoring my wife's Nursing career to the UK or Enroll for Msc in Construction Project Management in the UK?

My aim for the Msc is as a means to jakpa and reside in the UK to continue working not that I really needed the Msc.

Please i need your candid advice. Thanks.

Gospel truth and reality….
Your wife’s nursing career will benefit your family more financially and visa-ly BUT it might cost u ur marriage ( even if your wife is d best thing after God to you) i have seen it happen to the best partners. Your MSC wont give u better job ( no be curse oo. Na reality). Those oyinbo people are not looking at msc. Your experience first then visa status. If your career is not in health, u are better off sponsoring your wife but be ready to drop the “man of the house” mentality yourself. Dont let ur wife make u drop it. Once in a while, Offer to stay at home with the kids, go to d market, arrange d house before she comes back from work. Pick the kids from school… then ur marriage has a chance of survival here

Everything I'm going to say is as close to the truth as it can ever get. You are not going to hear this anywhere else

I don't care if you don't accept what I say. I'm only a messenger.

But for the few who accept the information, I hope you will be able to stick to it

Rub.bis.h none-sense is what makes this post childish

FriendsAndFans:
What happened to all the Indian Doctors they used to hype back then? Well maybe the health system is not in the best shape over there but the Nigerian health system can't match up with the UK.

Many of them na fake certificate

Gradually going back to dollar subsidies…. For politicians towards election.

Petrol will soon follow… till after election again

Duty of care clashing with GDPR

A Minority Muslim from South can never win the presidency with a Minority Christian from the North. Those people shouting should no that

No Supporter of BAT will expect him to use a Christian from the North as VP. It’s political suicide. Only ADC and Obidients will celebrate BAT dumping Shettima for a Christian northerner. This complex political calculation is why BAT is d first muslim southern president of Nigeria. Only a bold and fierce politician can achieve this.

Because they know they can’t survive without immigration, they want to streamline it to the country with the population that is not black and not muslim and willing to migrate. Cos of their skin color , they wont mind if they mix with their own race unlike the blacks. They don’t bother with china cos they are not interested in migrating. All the “deport immigrants “ is for blacks and muslims. Not Indians

America is the place where our Access bank CEO lost his life. They also killed Kobe Bryant in a needless helicopter crash. These crashes need to be investigated

Imagine this happened in Nigeria. Tinubu would have been in trouble by now

The Dark Side Of Living Abroad Nigerians Don’t Tell You



Every day on Nairaland, Instagram and WhatsApp, we see pictures of Nigerians abroad living “soft life” — big jackets, snow selfies, fine streets, clean trains.

From Nigeria, it looks like once you japa, all your problems are solved.

But the truth?
There’s a dark side of living abroad many Nigerians don’t talk about — especially those already there.


Let’s be honest.


1. Loneliness Will Deal With You


In Nigeria, even if you’re broke, you have people. Neighbours, family, friends, noise, gist.
Abroad?

You can stay months without real human connection.
Everyone is busy. Everyone is tired. Everyone minds their business.


Many Nigerians abroad battle silent depression, but won’t say it because they don’t want people back home saying “you wanted to japa, now see you.”


2. You’ll Work Jobs You Never Imagined
That “abroad” dignity fades fast.
Doctors become caregivers.
Engineers wash dishes.
Graduates do night shifts nobody wants.


Nothing is wrong with honest work — but the mental shock is real, especially when you remember how people respected you back home.


3. Bills Will Humble You
Yes, currency is strong — but expenses are stronger.
Rent.
Tax.
Insurance.
Transport.
Utilities.
You may earn well, yet still be one emergency away from crisis.

That’s why some Nigerians abroad can’t send money home as often as people think.


4. Racism Is Real (Even If It’s Silent)
It’s not always shouting or insults.
Sometimes it’s:
being ignored
being over-policed
being treated like you don’t belong
working twice as hard to be seen as “normal”
You’ll constantly feel like you have to prove yourself.


5. No Family Safety Net
In Nigeria, if things scatter, you can manage:
stay with family
borrow food
get help
Abroad?
If you fall, you fall alone.
Miss rent = eviction.
Lose job = real trouble.
No uncle. No mummy’s friend. No village support.


6. Immigration Stress Can Break You
Waiting for:
papers
visas
renewals
approvals
Living in fear of one mistake ruining years of effort.
That stress is not a joke. Some Nigerians abroad are physically there but mentally exhausted.


7. You Can’t Easily “Come Back”
Once you japa, coming back empty-handed feels like failure — even if you’re tired.
So people endure misery in silence, just to maintain the image of success.


Final Truth
Living abroad is not bad, but it is not paradise.
Nigeria is hard.
Abroad is hard — just in a different way.
Anyone telling you japa will solve all your problems is not telling the full story.
Over to you, Nairalanders 👇

Would you still japa knowing all this?

Nigerians abroad, what’s the hardest part nobody warned you about?
Let’s talk — no packaging.

points 1 to 7 is equal to depression. either of the points will put u into depression. some are lucky to come out of it by facing the reality on time or overcoming the reason that caused the depression. but the truth is, everyone will feel that depression within the first few months, but how long it stays depends on your situation (age+qualification, location, marital status, how strong your marriage was before u left naija, your first survival job etc and above all your visa status) All these will test your sanity. but on social media, every one is okay...

What is you people’s obsession with something you have no control over
