Yes,but the kids are not coming with us for the time being sir. Maybe in some months time. tanks

Still wonder why someone who can afford a comfortable life in Nigeria ,will nearly turn to a beggar all in the name of relocation.

Thank you very much!!!! I don't understand all the craze about relocation. UK where you will be 4th class citizen if you ever become citizen sef, always living in fear of deportation.

Nigeria is where the money is. Open any business in Nigeria, the population size and sheer need guarantees mega success within a year. Everything is cheaper in Nigeria too, the freedom to live life on your own terms is without bounds. I put it down to FEAR, that's what drives full grown men to leave their country to become servants in another man's land.

What is their age range if you mind me asking?

Can one set up a cooking business in the uk? Am a cook

I think the suffering is relative.
Usually it is with people that just get there, especially without money and have to scratch from the bottom. Over time their status improves. The good thing over all is that their kids get to go to proper quality schools. Even over time when the kids get naturalized, the sky is the limit. They have acess to student loans to enable them study what ever course.
Rent to me is the highest cost. I think food is quite cheap compared to their earnings. Another crazy cost too seems to be transportation and taxes. One drives within London and by the time you get home and open your computer, so many bills. Just for driving oh. Congestion charge, emissions charges etc, God helps you if you beat traffic light.
I think the ultimate is if one can find a business to setup. One of two of my paddies have such. They are living the good life. Wakeup anytime, go to the office at their convenience etc. But they have paid their dues. Over 24 years in the UK.

justwise:

7 & 3

7 & 3

Its not going to be easy from the moment the kids joins you and your wife, one of you has to work part time while the other look after those kids.

You need at least two bedroom house/flat for family of 4. Unless one of you have a good job that pays at least £3000 you will struggle to save.

Hmmm Tanks for this wonderful explanation. Am greatful. But if it were to be for both of us alone,one can atleast save, right?

is canada a preferrable option than the uk in terms of standard of living ,taxes,expenses and what not,,,,.

I think so. Canada is better and Canada also has a an immigrant rule that’s more friendly than UK..

QuinModah:
Read their migration laws

They have programs just like Canada, and no matter how stringent it happens to be, it will be worth it at the end of the day.

Love800:

I guess so. Possibly one has to first get a cooking job, understand the system before venturing out on your own.
I think cooks are in great demand. Last time I was in the UK, I noticed lots of restaurants advertising for cooks.

All these with minimum wage??

Yes, I can give you evidences.. But, remove the 2023 model car, maybe a 2020 model with minimum wage

You can save 1000 Pounds per month.

If your wife works for 20 hours per week as a student, that makes it 90 hours per month because there are four and a half weeks in a month. If the pay is 10 pounds per hour, that means that 90 hours will fetch her 900 Pounds.

You as a dependant can work up to 55 hours per week, Let even say you work only 40 hours per week., that makes is 180 hours per month. If the pay is 10 pounds per hour, that means that 90 hours will fetch her 1800 Pounds.

House rent = 1,000 Pounds (2 or 3 bedroom depending on so many factors)
Electricity = 200 Pounds (them is is high, but let use it)
Feeding = 200 Pounds
Transport = 100 Pounds

TOTAL monthly expenses = 1,500 Pounds
TOTAL Wage by husband and wife = 2,700 Pounds

I have evidences, but not for the public.

If there is anyone here who thinks my quote up there is fake, let the person come and say with his/her own analysis.

Don't let your village people hold you down, let's go and make money there, then come back and take over this government. You cannot wrestle power from Emilokan Tinubu or Atikulation Abubakar without lots of billions

Lol, this is gross earnings. The non-student's earnings will be subject to income and NI tax at source. For 40 hours a week and £10 an hour, tax deductions will be approx £200 a month and these deductions will increase the more they work/earn

Council tax depending on location might be anything from £100 - £200 a month. Inflation is currently hammering food prices, so unlikely that 2 grown adults will spend only £200 a month on food.

You've also left out other bills which add up - phone bills, water bill (fixed rate or meter greatly affects how much you pay), TV license and if you drive -car insurance, MOT and road tax

If young children are involved - child care costs/ after school club activities , school lunches etc can easily add up to hundreds a month

What about saving to renew their visas? A straight forward visa renewal (ie no solicitor involved) can cost over £2k per person.

Nobody that lives here work and pay bills will come up with such calculation.

Uglyman029:


It is desperation and peer pressure. The pressure mounted on Nigerians last year by these people abroad no be here. At least in my own case, it was peer pressure.
most Nigerians here earn less than £2500. Before you pay your utilities, and housing billsw, this Money is gone. Not forgetting that you'll eat. Except the securities of life (bad things also happen here but they get solved unlike Nigerians which crime tarry for long),the quality of life I was actually living in Nigeria was far better than this UK. But I'm here already, shame no go catch us. Peace

I think 30k is the average salary in the uk. But I think you should prepare yourself to take a course in cooking. Their certificate should make you earn more.
Anyway, folks that stay there permanently may be able to advice you better.
