You people keep making ignorant posts back to back.

If you sell your properties for 50 million to come to UK with full rights to work, you have made a wise decision cos you will make that money back in less than 3 years working in the UK especially if you have a wife to join forces with.
LOL total and absolute lies, you are delusional with this bold faced lie. People in the UK for 20 to 30 years don't even have 50 million talkless of 3 years.

Now, you don't need plenty generosity. A gift of £10 to someone in need is over 10k in Nigeria and will be much appreciated.
Except if there is a history of extortion

They won't appreciate it. They want you to give them money in pounds/dollars. Some people even do the conversion and ask you for large amount in naira. If you send them 10k is peanut to them.

2300 pound is like earning 200k monthly in Nigeria, please tell me how a family man based in lagos can survive in Lagos with 200k. Which loan are you paying, when you still pay rent..The major loan people pay in UK is Mortgate and Auto loan of wch auto loan is minute compare to mortgage. With 2300 you can live a decent life in UK if you mo do pass yourself..A saving of 500 pounds monthly is to too small

If you doesn't have any single money do you think he will come back and show that? Many of them hide there with nothing, working day and night shift with no savings.
That kind of person cannot come back to Nigeria na. With what? Where will he live?

I don't understand this mantra honestly. Most people i know overseas are trying to move their people (family) to join them overseas. Perhaps it's just my circle.

Are Nigerians in Nigeria cheerful givers? grin
If Nigerians are not cheerful givers, how then are their pastors rich?

The number 1 reason is a very wicked one. No wonder they easily commit suicide, just because there's nobody to express their minds to. Everybody is just on their own. Too bad!
Let's get this straight.
Western people know that Everybody needs help. But they institutionalised their helping system..
Evrybodu can get help in multiple ways. Student loans for school, credit card for business, or charity for sick/disabled people, even homeless shelter.
The family members might not help each other because they know, you can just go and get whatever help money from government.
And if government refuses you, it must be because you have a bad habit you have refused to change that is maintaning a low credit score for you. Probably a drug addict or something similar.
They also have PATREON website, where you write your ideas and people donate to help your business.
I didn't think we Nigerians can get any help from that patreon for Nigerian business. It is meant for western people for western stuff. Dollar to Dollar transactions..
So, yes they do help. But in an organised way without favoritism..

I bet you are writing this from Nigeria.

Calm down and stop arguing. You can save £1k(over N1M) a month if you have a very supportive wife and a good job with some overtime.

So even if it takes you 5 years to save 50million naira you are doing well and remember that people in UK live a quality life Nigerians can only buy.

Give Nigerians money and the next thing is to marry SECOND wife, drink champagne, SPRAY money cash in party and be eating unnecessary shawarma, left and right. Is that not just stupidity.
These things I mentioned are NEVER done by UK people.
They just live life quietly and humbly.

If it was this easy, then every single married couple born in the uk would have at least £50,000 (50 million naira ) in thier savings .

And sentiments aside I’m sure we both agree this is not the case.

The uk is an incredibly tough place to have any money left after your monthly bills more less 50 million naira (£50k) saved in 3 years

It’s incredibly hard and almost impossible to accomplish things like this

Been that way since the 80’s

UK people are “NATURALLY” stingy!

Rumors even has it that, Peter Obi learnt it from there.
The people might appear "Stingy" to each other and to you. But they are not stingy to their government as they pay bastardly high taxes and their government is not stingy to them as it gives them seriously high quality of life and security. Good roads, light, clear dustbin, serene and secure environment, responsive and smart police, working judicial system, child support, homeless support, that their FREE NHS (Free hospital), some level of free school nursery, primary, secondary..
They are already paying so much for their quality of life. They don't have any extra to just dash you

wassup Bro I disagree with the stingy part. i have one Oyibo Brit Woman she gave me the break down of living in the UK then i realised the only difference between living in the UK and Nigeria is the fact that you can get a menial job there which 80 percent of your salary go for tax and other bills only for you to be left with little, key word little amount. is it the little left that you want them to send back home?

haba Bro let's not be selfish please. forget the packaging and background this guys are struggling

See how people just assume falsehood. over 80% on tax and bills.

The problem is that many Nigerians living in UK have no right to work so you are bound to suffer if you are not fortunate.


Nobody who has right to work will suffer except he is lazy or picky.

That person probably lives in Nigeria, talking all that crap about saving 50 million in 3 years living in the UK. Like you will just be saving all your money and someone else will be paying your bills for you.

When you beg your abroad friends for money, just know that others are begging them for money as well. You can only see chats between you and your abroad friend, but not him and others asking for money.
