Airhead. I know EXACTLY when you Moro.ns began using the word ‘shithole’ to smear Nigeria, and it was after Trump the racist KKK champion reportedly termed African nations “shithole countries”.

A criminal, fascist, neo-nazi racist thug with no morals who is under 70 felony charges in the US as we speak, is whom you learnt the term from, to describe your country, because you are a bunch of stupid, self-hating peabrains drowned in inferiority complex and lacking in basic common sense and dignity.
Perfect 👏

The way Nigerians at home glorify this japa of a thing, even those in abroad dare not give them contrary advice to think twice before leaping. 90% of Nigerian youth population is obsessed with japa.

What is your definition of doing well with naira exchanging at almost 800 to a dollar.
5 children is not really easy, they would nit have had issues with 2, but if the husband can take up extra jobs they will be fine

You illiterate ll come online and begin to spew rubbish…

Do you spend dollars in Nigeria?

What has standard of living in Nigeria got to do with someone who live in Nigeria?

What has exchange rates got to do with Nigerians living in Nigeria?

The only people that should be concerned about exchange rates are those whose lives depend solely on imported foods and other household things.

Family regrets selling house and borrowing money to relocate abroad, now stranded and facing hardship

Akinwande IdowuJul 29, 2023

A Nigerian family with five children regrets finding themselves in dire straits after borrowing millions of naira, selling their house, and car to fund their relocation to the United Kingdom.

The family embarked on this life-changing journey with hopes for a better future, but their dreams have been shattered as they struggle to cope with financial challenges in a foreign land.

The family, headed by a mother with a study visa, made the decision to move to the UK in pursuit of higher education opportunities.

However, upon arrival, she was confronted with the reality that she needed to secure a post-graduate visa to be eligible to work in the country, a process that required a significant sum of money.

As a result, the mother has been unable to contribute financially to the family’s expenses, leaving her husband as the sole breadwinner.

According to the woman @gloriaotikor1, the situation has taken a toll on her family’s mental and emotional well-being. The creditors who lent her money in Nigeria are incessantly calling her, expecting repayment now that she is in the UK.

However, with no means of income and mounting bills, the family is facing an uncertain and distressing future.

Despite their efforts to secure funds, the woman has been unable to complete her school fees, putting her educational aspirations at risk. As a result, the family is trapped in a cycle of debt, struggling to make ends meet in a foreign country with limited resources.

The husband’s job, though providing some income, is insufficient to cover the rent and provide for the needs of their five children.

Netizens Reactions…
@Adekoya Adeniran said: “Rule 1! Never sell assets to relocate! NEVER!” olayinkaolowolag7 said: “Skill worker’s route is better for a big family like that.”

@Evolak said; “Greener pasture is not abroad, it’s a location where God has design for you. Understand this and have peace.”

@flikky said; “Why would they bring 5 children at once nawoo.”

@peaches said; “You see why I keep saying Canada is better than UK in terms of studying.”

@user5122196360123 said; “Their mistake was going together, They supposed go one after another.”

@browniebee said; “Omo people don’t listen ..I pray God help her ooo…Abroad no easy come join 5 kids.”

Traveling abroad without proper planning will always end in tears.

You get it bro, many will jump on it without reading it well.

A man has 5 kids, wife is a student and so cant hold a full time job. How will the family not struggle in a new environment he is yet to integrate into fully?

Even the whites dont breed like rabbits despite having government support and many other privileges

How can a man with a steady income in Nigeria and property pack all his children, followed wife to the UK with student visa.
Their sufferings have not yet started. It's unfortunate though but that's the reality.

Every jakpa without properly planning may end up like this. Just school visa, you carry five children, with your mother in-law and believe it will be easy.

The thing tire person bros.

Knew a former colleague in the U.K with his four kids and living fine.

How did he do it?

He came in with his wife first and they were managing one small room for accommodation thereby saving on rent. The wife was working full time all these time and saving cos she was the dependant and not limited.

During summer break (about 4 months), he worked his ass out with his wife, that way they completed his school fees and saved some money for a larger accommodation and other expenses and then brought his children in: 9 months after arriving. Pure calculation and dedication from the couple.

U.K has a way of amplifying anything that you were in Nigeria: if you smart before, you become smarter.

And if you were dumb, OYO is your case.

Not funny.

Everywhere is an abroad. A British residing in Nigeria is also in abroad

Na so a friend spent N30m relocating to UK with his family. He borrowed money, sold some of his things for 20hours work weekly while the wife can't work.
why can't the wife work is she disabled, with the husband study visa she can work unlimited hours,that will help the family to cope pending when the husband will graduate and start contributing

The whites are now the scammers, we are the victims.

All these 'I want a better life for my kids' crew, there you have it. Thread with caution; all that glitters is not gold.

In fact, if you earn at least a N300,000 monthly here in Nigeria, be reluctant to travel abroad. You are not doing badly.

Won't she need a paper to work when the husband can only work for 20 hours in a week plus 3 children.

The way the guy is regretting heh. The husband can also acquire some documents in order to get better work but it will still cost him around 6,000 pounds.

You want to know why?

My best guess is because she is saddled with care giver responsibilities for the children.

As per U.K laws, there must always be an adult with children before they get to 16.

Only student visa was affected. There are a whole lot of other visa categories and yes you can bring your dependants on the others.

It unfortunate most people typing here are either not opportune or can't even afford to relocate. It's not a crime to leave your comfort zone and seek a better life, but the only thing i see wrong with this family is, they did not have adequate information and did not plan well. I relocated with my three children and it has been a fantastic story ever since. They key thing is to plan well and have enough money to cope pending when you get a good job. But student route is not part of it oooo with five(5) children.

That same funds will have been used to buy the right land like 2plots at ikorodu environs or ibadan e.t.c start a catfish pond with like 20,000 fingerlings in about six months they will be smiling ..cat fish market is always available with ready buyers as long as you know how to cater for the fish to make its weight large..whatever loss comes is minimal compared to like chicken and co.. even pig husbandry self is a better investment for someone with that kind of money and family.. from the profits you send one child abroad to study if na abroad dey hungry them..

This person who posted this fake stories is laughing and happy this false narrative is trending.
I have relocated twice and the first few months to one year wasn’t all good, but at the end everything worked out.

So because you have relocated twice and it worked for you, there are no immigrant families living on the edge in the UK?
Since the view you expressed is characteristic of know-it-all japarists, who never take a holistic view of any situation, what's the point in engaging you further?

I will advise UK Japa for two sets of people:

Single

Or Married folks with no children.

I'm both cases, I will advise they have like half of the school fees and three months rent.

Anything outside the above na lamentations galore.
