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

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

Adexgentle005:
This is the only business where the buyer buys the item and seller remains with it or It is also the business where the buyer sells one item to so many customers, and still remains with it.

Lol. Its not an item. Its a service. Just like Netflix.

That penalty kick was pure jazz, juju knack brahim like electric shock

U never jam tensioned pressure before. E pass juju

Are you just realising that? Dont you know there’s no more space for them in brothels? And also working in a fixed location (on site job) limits your customers to only those who can courageously visit the brothels. Now with hookup, u charge more and dont need to pay any “pim.p” or “madam”. Some even travel interstate to meetup with clients.

Who are you backing in a war?

I will never support a bully!!!

If Davido is a poor man would she be saying this? I doubt.

Why blame the poor girl? This is the main reason she needs d DNA!!!! If d alleged father was poor, will they be making mockery of her? She never told d dad to be a street dog and mum be d bit.ch? The girl simply needs closure!! This is not fair on the girl

He didn’t stop them from winning the penalty. No need passing the bulk. Morocco wanted the win more….

Seefinish:
Tinubu's camp will not be happy to hear this news.

Same thing pdp said in 2019. atiku is just looking at them. Lets wait for the primaries

He is confused

What is the information for? Are they illegal?

Jerryblaq:
It is quite funny that wearing military cap or it's camouflage is not treated as an offense in outside country.

But here where we have high rate of insecurity, this has automatically become our priority

U wont even see any military man on the streets in uk not to talk of them harassing you

There are more deaths in the US from gun violence than the deaths from terrorists in Nigeria. But na Naija the new Hitler wan help.

Mariangeles:
Ask yourself; would Trump [give the orders to] do something so obvious that would make him look like a coward and the villain in front of the whole world?
I mean, he already captured them.

Trust these crime lords at your own peril.
They're capable of anything.
Including the women in their cartel.

You have been scammed mentally by the new hitler…

I expect people to cancel their trip to the world cup in the US, but na lie, some people will still kpai to go there. Not sure Hitler supported the ki.lling of Germans the way he supported ICE kpaiing their citizens

Poor attitude, no wonder top teams avoiding him.
