Honestly she is discouraging me ever since I got this 200k monthly job. She keeps complaing all the time. UK is hard, will you be able to work longer hours. Will u be able to do care jobs, u can't further y studies here, the fees is very expensive but, a friend told me I can collect govt loan to further my studies when I get permanent stay. ( Pls how true is this?) these are all she keeps telling me since she got her permanent residence. She started advicing me to stay put, that she can be visiting for now. I am confused

Sorry but this is sending off red flags..did she start complaining like this when she got her residency and not before?

Those of you that left Nigeria to UK, is UK better than Nigeria? What were the experience, Am I better off in Nigeria than UK? I am working presently and earning up to 200k, with medical, leave allowance of 200k and 13th month. (Can I get all these benefits in the UK?) My wife also keep complaining that UK is difficult. I am confused. I was just contemplating telling her to come bk and get a health care job . I need advice please my bros and sisters on how you guys were able to make it in the UK. What are the advantages of me staying in the UK. I studied Germany language, what can I start to do to get a good job. How can u guys convince me that UK is better. Thank you

UK is better than Nigeria!

UK is better than Nigeria!

UK Is better than Nigeria!

UK is better than Nigeria!

UK is better than Nigeria!

But don't take my word for it.

To our healthcare workers in the house.

I want to thank you guys immensely for putting up with the COVID 19 fight and kicking it's behind gradually. You're loved, respected and well valued members of the society.

Don't feel sad if you have to refuse to treat or stay off work for a while due to stress from all that's going on; lack of PPE, adequate mental stress support etc. You are absolutely in the right. Don't forget, you're human as well.

The world owes you, remember that. You'll go down in history as legends for being in the health care industry when earth was ravaged with a virus.

Take pictures so your great-grandchildren will flex in future, that they come from a bloodline of heroes. Because that's what you are, heroes. Every Single One of Yous.

I believe by now, you'd have realized people will still have different opinions about you.

Most popular of them being; "it's what you signed up for." "You shouldn't be a doc or nurse etc if you can't stick it."

It's fine, you don't have to feel bad about it. They're just opinions. They know no better.

You deserve a pay raise and adequate staffing. You deserve better for this single act of bravery. But we know how the world works. "Whataboutisim" will kill that in an instant.

However, we do hope when all these is over, the whole world will realize how valuable you are and do the needful.

Stay safe. Stay alive.

its a different kind of hustle. its generally better, but Nigeria has some appeal and benefit. but uk is better. it can be hard. its hardwork. Benefits come after a while. no easy wins

missjekyll:


Anybody making 800k in Nigeria must be very highly skilled. I m not surprised he is making even more in the UK. Poster are you very highly skilled? I see you talking about working without certificate? and going to school at the same time.

You must be married for 10 years to a citizen to become a citizen. only citizens can access loans.

So,in effect and I stand to be corrected, you will come to the uk ,rent and grocery and transport and entertainment bills will increase, you will go to school putting even further stress on her salary.

Please line up a job or have a plan before you leave Nigeria. Money stress can collapse marriages.

@ the bolded: Truer words have never been spoken!

yes please .. that's why i want to first have my name on the Tenancy agreement and then Council Tax bill

This will help me get 2 documents with our names on it, i.e. Tenancy agreement & Council Tax bill for spousal visa extension (Proof that we have been living together)

I do hope the council tax authorities can send a revised bill since covering from the period i moved in at least.. or at least this year..

LagosismyHome:


What she is talking about is a discount you get if it is said that only one adult lives in the property. I think its 25 percent discount for single person

However if your wife and sister was on the bill then chances are the property was not on a single person discount so not applicable anyway. If you are doing spouse Visa extension then its essential you have evidence that you live together and a bill together is an evidence

i dont think 200k is a lot of money in Nigeria tbh

I earned over 300k in Naija but still u can't really save because apart from the taxes paid, u have to sort almost every other amenity your self, e.g. buying fuel for gen and still paying PHCN bill at the same time.. meanwhile here u pay for what u use.. etc..

In Naija, u're also one ailment away from poverty .. etc..

LuvlyIva:


Thank you for your response but, our money is not the same. 200k in Nigeria is lot of Money. So how much can I be earning in the UK. And what is the minimum salary for one that doesn't have a certificate. What kind of job can I do as I come in UK. Thank you

The sun here is a joke.... compared to naija sun and heat..

i miss Naija tho but mehn high blood pressure would have become a thing for me..

Good thing is i'm only 6hrs away by flight ( i know corona has dulled this a bit)

Lol! No more up NEPA!!! Thank you. Please give me more u are enjoying

i don't feel alright with the vibe of that sha...... i mean y'all are a family right? should there even be a need for persuasion?

story isn't so clear..

Thank you for your response. I will keep persuading her.

Dear house many thanks for all your responses. I really appreciate. God bless u all. U guys are always the best. I have gone through y various responses and I feel good . Thank you all.

Well I am getting the vibe your wife has gone through some hard times and doesn't want to go through those kind of times anymore when you come over especially with your talk of loans and further study.

You need to look how you will rebrand your naija skill set to fit into the UK setting, look at ways you can add value to her and not put more financial stress.

200k is not very much compared to the comfort and rest of mind you will get living in the same house with your wife and family.

My advice to you will be, talk to your wife, hear out her fears then assure her you are ready to do any type of work and not become a financial burden.

Get to the UK with your savings in hand, get any job to support her and use your savings to do some certifications in an area you want to focus on. (You can Google to find areas)

The UK is only hard for couples that dont have a common goal...if you're both ready to work and sacrifice for each other then you will enjoy the place but if one partner feels entitled and wants the other to be understanding and carry all the financial burden then wahala must dey o

Welcome back bros. Long time no hear

dustydee:

No. In my organisation then, I know some people that request for theirs at the beginning of the year to take care of other commitments.

I meant, can one take 2 weeks this month, 1 week in August, 3 days here and there or it has to be taken as a whole?

Also try this number +44 7903 520953, but you would have to take goods to NAHCO cargo unit. She does door2door too....

Oga your wife has found someone else. Simple as ABC. If I were you I'd take a leave from work to go and live with them for a while. If everything is fine then you can stay back. Else just carry your kaya and stay in Naija. Cheers

Sorry sir, I’m not disputing your claims but everyone suddenly thinks your wife is the devil. I remember your previous posts where you said your wife has been out of work due to covid as she was isolating due to her “sugar problem” which I’m sure you meant diabetes. I remember very well in that post that your couldn’t care less about this despite the fact that diabetes is a high risk factor for mortality from corona virus. I also remember that from that post she is an agency worker meaning if she doesn’t work she doesn’t earn. All you cared for at that time was that she had to work to meet the financial requirements to bring you over. Seeing as the U.K. is such a hard place if your spouse is not supportive it doesn’t need a genius to figure out her sudden cold feet. But now we are all Joining you to lambast and flay this poor lady who we don’t know how she is coping in this period of uncertainty.

Poster,you may not see it but it's obvious to me that your wife is struggling seriously financially already.

What value can you add to your family financially at the moment in the UK? If you cant , it may be better to stay in Nigeria where you can add value for now. You can go visit for a month if you like. It's only 6 hours . But You must continue working. Must.

Bros i think you should read inbetween the lines here, she doesn't want you to come to the UK and she doesn't want to return to Nigeria either, she only want to be visiting you and you are here asking questions about the UK vs Nigeria?

Ok lets just pretend as if we don't know that this marriage is in ICU.

200K is not enough to start comparing the UK to Nigeria because cleaners makes more than that and still enjoy 'free heath care' live in a relatively safer environment, uninterrupted power supply, good roads..etc

My neigbour works with Amazon and he gets about 206 hours holiday, 40-50 hours emergency holiday(go home anytimie you want paid) and 6 weeks paid sick leave a year.

6 weeks paid paternity leave, private medical benefit, career choice benefit..basically if he wants to leave Amazon they will help him to get trained for another career and you can leave at the end. If you worked there for one full year as a permanent staff and want to leave you will be given £1500 and more than that if you have worked longer.

You need no qualification to get all these and he works 4days in and 3days out weekly.

During this coronavirus problem he got 12weeks paid leave, this is not from his statutory leave allowance.

You can compare the UK to Nigeria on individual bases because there are Nigerians who are doing very well than many us here but as a system as whole..you can't compare night and day.
