To achieve all this in just two years is not the standard for judging the society. You better be careful. People won't tell you what exactly they do to make money but would want to stimulate your appetite to become a thief. If everyone could make this within this timeframe in UK, the whole world would be in UK by now.


The goal is consistent profitability and this can be built anywhere in the world
it was sarcasm. How could you not tell? Lol

Pride made UK to leave EU.

Now Brexit coupled with the global energy crisis caused by the war in Ukraine has really crippled UK's economy.

It was worse than pride: sheer stupidity!

The Tories were not even as pro-Brexit as they claimed. Cameron was shocked and devastated by the Brexit win.

Leaving the EU was akin to killing the goose that laid your golden eggs.

Tories were under some pressure from UKIP and Nigel Farage when Cameron was seeking re-election. Cameron decided to promise a referendum on EU because he viewed it as an easy way to appease the far right minority in his party that were clamouring for it. Many of them were only doing so because they feared losing their seats to UKIP. Surely the UK population would never vote to leave right lol

Unfortunately for them, Boris Johnson saw the referendum as an opportunity to boost his popularity among the far right conservatives to maybe one day become prime minister and suddenly it wasn’t just some far right movement.

Cameron was openly against leaving even though he was the one calling the referendum. If Brexit won he would be forced to resign, which he did. I doubt even Boris really wanted Brexit. It was just politician after politician climbing on the movement for their own personal ambition. In fact many of them did so because they believed it would never actually happen.

Just comical all round.

You seem to be very knowledgeable in this.

But people still enter the USA or Canada via student route steady naa.


Or you think it's easier to go and study in the UK, then move to Canada or USA afterwards?

It is not normally a good idea to try to study abroad if you don't have a sponsor, particularly in the UK and the US.

In the UK, the school and home office won't look kindly on such a person if he/she fails to pay school fees.

Come on, that's why before giving you a student visa, they ask you to show them proof that you have enough money to pay school fees and take care of yourself for the duration of your study, you do that via showing them your PROOF OF FUNDS.

Now, you go and borrow money and show them and you come here and can't pay...they see it as fraud.


The truth is that it's not easy anywhere. I slept for 3hours today, it's 7.13am here and I'm already set to hit the road and reach my workplace before 8.00 am.

This oyibo people no dey hear excuses. So my dear, we're just pushing it.

Sir. What abt cooking skill?
Reussite:
It depends on what you going for. It would be advisable if you dont have a job in the Medic or Tech industry waiting for you there....japa might not be a good decision especially if you have to sell your assets in Nigeria to raise money for the movement.
One should not just follow the crowd, because everyone is leaving I gats leave too...no. There should be a plan in place first before embarking on such.
Of course you cant compare the quality of life here and over there. The first year is always rough for most immigrants but by the second and following year, you will be good trust me.

Those ones are all penniless & homeless, they don't even have enough money to buy plane ticket to return to Nigeria.

But....it is well!



With 33% unemployment, how many Nigerian graduates even have a paycheck? And as for bills, well methinks the time of CHEAP government subsidized living without bills is slowly coming to an end in Nigeria. Loans for University, electricity tariffs increasing, fuel prices doubled with no rise in salary. And nobody is protesting or rioting, I guess everyone has learned the lessons of Occupy Nigeria in Jan 2012.

But....it is well. It will favor me and my family. grin grin grin

Good Luck to Nigeria!!!

SangoOlukosoOba:


I own 6 properties in the US and know what plays!


LIVE EXAMPLE.....

This is happening RIGHT NOW in Lagos....

https://www.nairaland.com/7645230/oba-lateef-atanda-adams-seize/7

Could this happen in the USA where you own 6 houses?

I asked earlier if Nigeria is better or worse than 10 years ago. Just a general measure on any metric. Any of you mind answering?

I asked you earlier if you knew anyone who lost land to government. Any of you mind answering?

So you seem to know that government land seizure happens, it just isn't an EVERYDAY thing. Even if it happens ONCE, it's evidence that no individual owns land in Nigeria. THAT'S THE LAW.

When I was younger in Nigeria, I witnessed government taking land. This was during the IBB regime. A family lost their land when government decided to use it to build the local HQ of one of the political parties either SDP or NRC. I can still hear the women wailing as they were dragged off and flogged by soldiers. This happened at Eziama Obaire in Imo State. I'm sure that must have happened in many other places too.

I know 5 people in the USA, friends or family, whose lands were taken by government.

The other thing that's most important is that land "ownership" in Nigeria is very shaky. You say you own 6 houses in the USA. Did you EVER have an ownership or transaction dispute related to the land or house? I've never had a SINGLE case myself in the USA, but it has happened to my family in Nigeria.

I also know of several other people who have been enmeshed in land disputes in Nigeria. The reason is clear, individual land "ownership" in Nigeria has no legal basis. It's basically dog eat dog, whoever has the biggest access to government or able to hire the strongest thugs, wins the "case".

You can keep living in denial. Nobody owns land in Nigeria. That's the LAW. It's also an everyday reality.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

I've addressed this in some detail in the past. The short answer is YES, you can earn a very good living in the USA as a cook, especially if you're a business owner.

I started my life in the USA working illegally as a cook. Within 1 year working, I bought a nice car for cash and was living with a roommate in a 2bd 2bath apartment and started building a house in Nigeria. I also paid off the $1500 loan that my family borrowed to buy my ticket.

Back when I started the pay was ~$4/hr, today the same restaurant pays $11/hr, but rent for the same apartment has gone from $350 to $1200. The exchange rate was ₦‎4=1$. I've checked these numbers, they're accurate.

There's many Nigerians engaged in cooking and catering from their homes in the USA or at least in every city I've lived in. A few have actual stores or commercial kitchens. My family patronizes them once or twice a month. At least a couple of them have that as their only source of income and they seem to be doing OK.

I've explained all this in detail elsewhere. Sometimes I wish I could charter a plane and bring 200 people to live in the USA. I sincerely pity Nigerians...a country where earning $250 or $500 per month is a BIG DEAL. cry

Nigeria is just crappy.

I keep asking why people would have to spend 10M Naira just to travel out when they can setup businesses with that figure and fork out up to 30M annually on a 10M investment.

It's the mentality, people don't want to invest in their country, but prefer to splash it on frivolous travel trips

Can you share just one opportunity that yields 30m from 10m annually

Have you successfully ran a business in Nigeria before?
