Exactly.. Where is the money?
Probably returned to people he loaned it from
See ehn, Nigerians will not show transparency and they are going to nations that has rules.

U lied in ur bank statement just to japa. If OP is found guilty, those people won't listen to sorry..

i had 15 million in my account. when i started this process and got loan of extra 15 due to the dollar pounds surge. spent 13m coming plus extra dollars in my hands


i repeat 98 to 99% percent don't have full money. how many Nigerians can boast of 35 to 45m

That 13 million should have taken you to Portugal or Germany but to get visa to both places dey hard. The truth is that if you even come back to Nigeria and learn the data analysis no job you will suffer greatly.

i won't suffer greatly. i have houses in different cities already in Nigeria. still running business bringing 1m. bur converting this money into pounds pays only rent

doing extremely well.
bought those properties by the grace of God. but disposing any more properties now? i can't.


A friend wanted to start same journey last week. but i told him honest opinion to back down.... give him detailed analysis all i have gone through.

so coming here is to warn Nigerians not to embark again... its no longer promising as before

honestly a lot of Nigerians paint good about abroad... letting others fall to the deadly trap.
i have 3 friends who told me i can make it. even chatted many on WhatsApp groups asking about the situation they responded that's what they do.. they work to pay.

but honestly many of them took months to get this job... owned landlord fees that they dont rent to student again.

before paying my fees i, i asked two pm trusted friends there.. if they are sure of this. they affirm. but on landing they started telling me on how they pack whitemen shit, dirty stuff.... menial jobs..

even i accepted my fate and started applying. but up till now no show.

my dream was that immediately I came over, i and my dependant will search for jobs.. work and pay bill. but that is not feasible as I am seeing it.

i have been in UK since 1 month plus. but getting a job as a migrant or new commer without UK experience is not easy.
in fact i have sent over 200 job application for cleaner, care assistant etc but all came with a sorry we have moved on to the next stage or you don't have uk experience.

school fees has to be paid. school has sent mail threatening to report to the immigration if school fees is not paid in the next few weeks.

no job, house rent is expensive.. going for 450 to 600 pounds per month.

travelling through student route is not really easy because you have to balance between work and school.. 'even at that where is the job as a new migrant.

Please if you are considering coming to UK for now.. please put on hold. the crowd from Indians, Pakistani, Malaysia, china etc is overwhelming.

it's not worth selling your home to be here.

i sleep in indeed and all this job site.. still yet nothing, bills mounting up.

all my colleague i came with are still with no jobs in other cities

after spending 13 million coming here chai


if u know you don't have full school fees, house rent for 12 months, upkeep.... running to 35m to 40m please stay back... stay back or apply through skill route.


My dear Like someone said. Always ask people around you especially those that have now settled.

You spent 13 million to Japa to UK.. now see your life, no job forthcoming for you.

I won't pity you cos I know your type love going about condemning Nigeria at the slightest opportunity you get, thinking the grass is greener over there for you.

Experience is the best teacher.. this one will teach you and many more like you to appreciate your home cos 'no place like home'.

That 13 million he spent to Japa to UK would have set up something tangible in Nigeria which if managed properly can grow in a space of 5-10 years into multi-million naira investment.

We have agro processing bisinesses begging for investments yet our youths keep rushing to pay UK government and their universities millions over certificate they might end up not using.. what really is wrong with Nigerians?.

Don't worry too much.. some are currently selling off their homes and properties to raise money to come and join you guys over there.

Maybe you guys will form association of trapped Nigerians in UK and be soliciting for help from those at home.
I hope you find job soonest though.. it's just paining me how people especially Africans are burning money just to acquire abroad tailored degrees designed to advance abroad economies.

Wait o... Have you tried all those easy data entry jobs that they pay up to $20-$25 per hour? I don't think you necessarily need experience to get them. Just have a good CV with all the description of the job and you should be able to get them. UpWork is also there. Setup a profile and apply for editing / proofreading jobs. I hope you have a system. If you have challenges designing a good CV that targets each job you want to apply, I can help.

Basically, you have to present yourself like an expert of some sort and learn the things around the expertise you want to exploit.

how many Nigerians can even afford full fees. we are talking between 18 to 25m. i have to sell properties to raise this sum.

after payment of fees you still need about 6m to apply for visa n health insurance and alo flight... even fact keep 35m.

They will do anything in their capacity to see that whatever money we get from them through crude oil sales finds it way back to them.
We sell crude and buy back petrol more costly from them.
When they come to school here, they can do it virtually cheap but when we are to school there, you will have to virtually sell the family house to fund the expenses.
What about their football league? Most companies like DStv are always at the brink of bankruptcy just to get a license to broadcast their leagues. Hitv went broke due to this.
The transaction between a black man and a white man has never favoured a black man for once.

I checked flight ticket for a family of 4 to Canada for vacation and the cheapest flight was 8m and goes up to 10m. Just flight alone.
Omoh, I no go even try am.
My mama go roll for inside her grave if I try am just for vacation. We are not even talking about permanent relocation or study.

the 3000 dollars i came with is almost exhausted. on expenses trying to settle in

school on my neck

i have a friend in Middlesbrough whose school wants to throw out this month end if he didn't pay some percentage of fees by month end
Most times the school doesn't follow through on their threat, for any male coming to the UK, if u want ur life to be easy marry and come.

That fees that you want to have HBp for u and ur wife would pay it off in max 3 months.

Only thing is that right now there are no jobs in the UK like that anymore.

At present jobs are scarce in the UK, especially this set that just came in, if u are coming to the UK and u don't hv someone u might suffer.

Agencies don't recruit anymore as they have too many staffs and the shifts aren't enough to go round, companies won't recruit u without experience and agencies are the route to experience

No need to argue
There are plenty who pay their school fees upfront. Schools take installments too. You on the other didn't pay anything at ALL that's the issue.
More people are struggling with paying living expenses and second installment of school fees.
You sef no say you no try rara

Spend your energy on finding how to eat, bills increase as it gets colder
why do you guys enjoy prolonging argument?


How many people in Nigeria have 40ml in cash and assets combined. The number is less than 5%% out of that, how many are going abroad then compare this to the number of people in UK.

The simple fact is that 98% of people in UK are hoping for a job to pay school fees and the op is saying it is not worth the expense
