You are not there to flex but you are there to make money so forget about social life go for the money ( though you must do it in a legit way). When you have made the money you can come to Nija to enjoy with your loved ones

Don’t mind him. I’m in aberdeen which is considered a very low-key boring city but I love it here. No much noise, no pork nosing, good paying jobs (exchange rate is even doing us well) constant light and very cheap internet so Netflix and chill or play games or do something….. anything. Not all businesses were closed sef. If you waka well you’ll find great places to have fun. I don’t miss Nigeria one bit. My wife says she misses Lagos but for where? Not me.

I over get it bro! see even if na to stay indoors for UK and get a better life then so be it. In life we can't really get all we want same way we can't eat cake and still have it. Na person prayer points you dey use play so grin grin grin. Sincerely, I know how it feels coming from this side the atmosphere is usually electric in Naija, the food swappings, the Banger, the Journeys and Church activities and so on gives so much memories that anyone will always miss. Recently, the activities have dropped compared to growing-up, I think Technology and Internet has influenced human relationships and activities alot, where you sit-down and literally have everything you want, it's crazy bro. But no reason am o! Anyways I know say una gum hand do Xmas for me make I drop Aza relocate to the nearest Bar on your behalf grin grin

Find some Nigerians and mingle with or better still, use the uninterrupted electricity and WiFi and learn new things. The system is radically different from Nigeria, If you wanted a social environment, you should have gone to Brazil. If e tire you, London has four airports and it is only a 6-hour journey.

I never see this kain noise from Nigerians in Australia or even the US. Honestly, from the way you people complain every now and then, e go hard una to stay in a functioning place. Worse still, you people would not join hands to make your environment to be comfortable so that you can shout as you like while having constant electricity and security.

US is worse than what he even just said but no need trying to explain to people at home, you need to use your eye come and see it then you will understand what op is saying. Only very few are actually happy to be here bet me

You will get use to it. Try traveling to places such as Hawaii for Christmas. Hotels have different fun events for your enjoyment.
If you at your apartment next holiday, cook, eat and drink eggnog. Watch movies and get a good sleep. By the time you wake up, Christmas day is over cheesy

I think one thing people are missing on this thread is that the OP obviously (I might be wrong) seems like he comes from privilege.
His point of view is never going to make sense to someone who's trying to relocate because they want a better standard of life.

You are damn right about everywhere being deserted mate. I was born in Vancouver, Canada but was dragged to Nigeria by my pops (Sighting some excuse that I need to learn his tradition stuffs). Well, here I am in Nigeria for the past 15years. I went back to Canada two weeks ago for Xmas n New Year with Mom’s family. Man, was I missing Nigeria, YES, I am. This place (Canada) is so deserted around Xmas time.

I am glad some folks have answered you. You spent millions to migrate. And got there, making in a month, what it would take an average Nigerian one year to make. Because there is a social isolation (which is one of the signs of developed societies), you are advising people to remain in this gellholle?

An average black is wicked. If you hate it so much, why are you still there? If Nigeria is so golden to you, what are you doing over there?

I actually live in a place with very few blacks, but you will never see me create such a thread because I understand how different societies work and humans behave. Anyone who does not like it should go back to Nigeria. There was no law stipulating Nigerians relocate to the abroad.

I like your honesty. Your last statement should be your pragmatism going forward. Expecting native Brits to imbibe Nigerian culture does not make sense. Anyone who is interested in his cultural practice should develop his environment so that he can practice those cultural rites/events without being obstructed.
