The japa dey one kind. Why sell your properties in Nigeria for study visa. If you could not get a job directly from Nigeria as a nurse, auditor, doctor or tech person. You should have known that getting job after studying wont be easy. But with economic instability, banditry and kidnapping. Many took the risk and you cant blame them. Few have been able to get good jobs while others do care work, security etc after studying. But now that bringing dependant is banned there will be more opportunities for those already there. Last last to each their own. Make everyone mind their business.

You guys should stop saying rubbish. As expensive as UK is, it's 100 times better than the uncertainties in Nigeria. Shey the business I do in Nigeria in the last three years that I get scared every now and then is worth it abi ? Even with Schooling and paying your bills, guys are still doing fine. There's no how you won't be fine if you can work in any country. So far you can work anywhere, you will be fine.

As per those selling their properties in Nigeria to fund their travelling, leave them. They know what they're doing. As for those leaving their good Jobs here, they also know what they're doing. You think they didn't do their calculations well? My Uncle borrowed money to fund his studies at Sheffield Hallam last year, he's paid all he borrowed and his wife has joined him. All within one year. My friend in London as a Carer is doing very fine with his wife, in fact his first son has joined him and the wife has birthed another child this past April( they're both carer). We should stop discouraging others, it is wickedness of the highest order! My Friend and Uncle have never discouraged me, instead they kept encouraging I should come.

Unfortunately, a lot of people have sold out all their entire lives(homes and businesses) here in Nigeria before they move abroad.
God willing, Nigeria shall be great again!


Sometimes I don't really blame people who sold properties to travel. Some of them Nigeria has happened to them. When Nigeria happens to you, it can radicalize your thinking.

A guy in my former estate spent a month during this past Christmas period in the hospital, what happened? His wife was driving him in his car while he was making a business call, he didn't realize when they were passing an army checkpoint when a soldier saw him making a call. They pulled him out of the car, collected his iPhone and smashed it on the floor. He asked them what his offense was and that was it. They beat him blue black, took him to their barrack for days and tortured him. The wife called everyone she knows in this life for help but none came, even the police didn't want to get involved as they don't want army wahala.
When he was later released, he spent a month in hospital escaping death by the whiskers.

There was no investigation, justice, compensation, nothing. The guy nearly died just like that in the hands of the state. Is there any law that forbids someone making a call cos they are passing police or army roadblocks?

When he recovered, the wife told him it is time to relocate abroad. They inquired and decided on the UK. He sold some of his assets to fund the move. They are in the UK now

Some of these people who sell their properties to move abroad don't do it with a clear eyes, some do it in reaction to something that had happened to them that radically changed their thinking.

What a terrible story. Such incidents are very common. 20th October of 2020 was it for me with regards to Nigeria.

Always try and be decent in a discuss.you can make your point without sounding like portable.counter the points I made.Is inflation not up in uk or did they not just increase the interest rates?

Thank you. Most of them don't have 12m to relocate. If they do, they won't cry here. I have relocated thrice within Nigeria and the first few months weren't easy but the long run was superb. They are just Jealous of progress.

I don't understand why people believe students are suffering in the UK

Let me explain things to you. The only way you will suffer is if you are lazy, doing a course with no progression and those without plans.. A nurse, social worker etc will never suffer because immediately they become registered, Canada, Australia and US, will give them that edge in becoming same in their countries.

I know of nurses who are now registered in 4 countries..UK, US, Nigeria and Canada. They may decide to work in any of the continent. UK is the shortest route to achieve the registration. I also know know of social workers registered I'm UK, Canada and NIgeria due to their UK registration.

Also, go and check the salary of these profession in these countries. How much is the salary of a nurse or social worker compared to that of Nigeria. You pay taxes because that's a sane country. We are used free things and not paying taxes here and we complain the government is not doing anything. That's the difference. Poverty mentality.

Someone even brought politics to the discussion. When last did you read UK citizens compliant about an election and go to court. There politics differ from US. Politicians do there things and if you fail, you are removed. Can that happen in Nigeria? A country where the father is the governor. Son in Senate and daughter in house of rep. Other siblings in the house of Assembly. Can you complain? I dare you to. In saner climes, when you revolt, action is taken. Not here. You will shot and killed.

You think everyone like noise like others. Some of us are introverts, we love our space. The loneliness is all over the world especially in sane countries except you live around your country men. Mind your business is all around. In Nigeria, we pokenose too much. That's our way of life. Some are not used to that lifestyle at all but they have no choice.

Don't just assume. You don't expect to start big when you get to a country. You learn through the ropes. Here, you will be at denial stage. As soon as you get your certificate, you smile to work and bank. You start enjoying life.

Even the work in Nigeria are given to their children and spouses while the poor continue to use SSCE to apply for jobs despite having Masters. See, Nigeria is not working at the moment and leaving the country for a better life should not be anyone's concern. If anyone decides to sell their property, so be it. They worked hard for it and if they ain't lazy in their new destination, they will build a better one. I have season level 13 and 15 officer leave the shores of the country.

Imagine a level 15 officer earning less than 250K. Having P.hD and cannot use it for career progression at the Agency. Does that make sense to you. Which is downgrading - working in your country with meagre salary and having highest educational qualification which cannot be used and working in a another country where the salary is worth your highest certificate and pay taxes while you enjoy benefits of the taxes?

Don't envy.

Those who don't have money are always screaming invest in Nigeria. When you give them 2m they can't do anything reasonable with it.
