bigtt76:Honestly, your somewhere can be from 40k, it doesn’t have to be lower than that. However, this is industry dependent as some industries don’t pay a lot. Also, this has nothing to do with classism because I never mentioned this. it’s just setting a standard for yourself and it’s also a personal preference so to each their own really. If my standards appear to be unrealistic or offends anyone then that’s their problem not mine. 3 Likes |

There’s a saying in Yoruba, which loosely translates as “the child that says his/her father is earning ‘shyte pay’, he/she is also in the process of becoming a man/woman”. Long story short, we dey siddon look. Isn’t it strange that the loudest ones, as I have always suspected, are the ones with little or no experience? Yes, there’s something called UK experience, as the dynamics are different, no matter the number of experience you had in Nigeria or anywhere else outside Europe. Someone who hasn’t even ‘tasted’ the UK corporate environment and is just about to start full time job is disparaging real men and women’s hustle? Anyways, experience is the best teacher. Come back here after you have successfully completed your probation period with your ‘I too know’ and ‘I better pass my neighbour attitude’. Mtschew, I get time today 11 Likes |

In my opinion, everyone can not have the same view on issues. It can not happen. If you make your point, do so without necessarily throwing shade up and down. It is exhausting. If you want to start with 1000 annually sef it is fine or if you say it’s 150000 annually it is also fine. Move on, the disparaging comments are scary. It is now no longer a discussion but attacks from camp A to B. It didn't use to be like this ooo 16 Likes |

The news making the rounds on social media now is about the mummified bodies found in a ritualist den in Benin city early this week, you need to see that video...human beings were dried and stacked whole like kpanla fish, some never even dry finish. Those are the outcome of get rich quick syndrome, yet we condemn the earnings of legitimate hussle. 3 Likes |

Gbas gbos left right and center, I believe everyone has targets and goals(long term or short term). Your long term is someone's short term and vice versa. It's important for anybody to understand their reason for being here, and tailor that to what drives or pushes you, your reality isn't same with the next person. I believe we are all the architect of our respective decisions, if person push you, you hit jackpot lucky you, if otherwise na trailer you jam pick yourself up we live to see another day. Everybody sabi wetin dem need or want, except your mind is like ping pong being tossed around by Aruna Quadri and one Chinko for tennis table. Ire o |

oluwaleokey: Welcome. It really depends on what you want short and long term and also your capabilities: strengths ans weaknesses. Some people are good at the care job, some also intend to build a career out of it. I know someone who was called to do a care job for £500 on Christmas day. £500 for one day. So yeah, it could pay so much but I think the average is still around £11 per hour. Not sure. Using myself as example, I don't think I really wanted care if I had the choice so I chose Warehouse. I was in Financial Tech back in Nigeria and wanted a career in Tech here so Care wasn't gonna help me. I chose Warehouse instead, physically demanding but I didn't mind, in fact I loved it as I am very Athletic. I did Amazon and my Take-home was over £800 every week working 60 hours. I was lucky to join during Seasonal periods when they offer extra £2,000 as Joining Bonus. Good money. Also, I actually put Amazon on my LinkedIn profile and it helped with the "packaging". The first few months can be chaotic but it gets better. So choose any you can comfortably do. A lot of people run away from Amazon stress to Care jobs, but it was the other way for me.

Endlessgrace: Yes o, we're talking about Cost of Living and Earning Capacity and I'm seeing someone say "Ritualist Den in Benin" and "we know them on social media". Nobody is "pressuring" anybody o. What would anyone gain by that here on a faceless platform? People are giving out selfless advice to their Nigerian Community here to tell them to consider well before taking offers and someone else is thinking it is for "show-off" or "looking down on others". 4 Likes |

Is this how Nigerian loan companies, chase debtors..... TREAT AS URGENT: This is to inform the general public that ********** to be a RUTHLESS/ CHRONIC and UNREMORSEFUL DEBTOR who goes about COLLECTING LOAN from different COMPANY. This person is currently on the run with our company's money and has refused to pay nor pick our calls, she even denied that she did not collect any money from any loan app when we have her details. BE informed that this person has been declared wanted. we also found that she's a ritualist and a kidnapper using innocent children for money ritual. Pls contact us if you have any information about this person as soon as possible, else the company will proceed to the next action, because this person provided us with all your details and if you are not aware of this loan you can as well call the person to delete your information in the app, because soon the person pictures along side your own pictures will be posted on all social media in the next FEW HOURS..... WE ARE LINCENCED AND APPROVED BY THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT. MY NUMBER :08138273229 Shark loan companies, that cannot spell .. ....... |
