yeah we have been going.
what i observed was the population.

you... you hardly see no Nigerians unlike Asians. in school you have to first count 50 Asians before you see a black man.

i observed that the British don't too fancy university degree so they are not much in school

Treadway:
stories stories stories...I'm very sure you haven't walked in his exact shoes for a month, and rather than shut up, you'd instead pontificate like you are special. Fact: some will always have it easier than others not necessarily cos they are better or better prepared. It's just life. Nairaland will scream to everyone who can hear to japa like your life depends on it, and when you do and fall into some troubles, same Nairaland will say you no sharp, you no wise, you no dey hear word, you should have paid all your fees. Crap talk!

I also know someone that just moved around the time he stated, only did Amazon jobs for two weeks and got the same kind of job he was doing in Nigeria, which is the role of a hygiene manager at a flour production company. Not necessarily like he has two heads, but was just at the right place at the right time and they needed him and there was a fit. If that person was at a different location, I'm pretty sure the story would be different. This guy is literally the only contact of mine who isn't doing a dead-end boy boy job, or gaddem carework.

The OP has asked you advisors to link him to jobs if you can...he isn't asking for money. He has asked like three of you to link him to jobs in other locations sef if you can so he can work on his free days and commute back somehow during school days, una still dey speak English, cos aside the English you have nothing else to offer, except to put him down. Smh

Atk1nson:


you're not a very smart fellow by default, I will not waste time giving you a response.

Zonefree:
Noted.


So, when are you booking your next flight back to our beloved Nigeria?

tosinhtml:


You're very intelligent!

Atk1nson:


you don't get the point.

If an employer employs someone in Nigeria, pays for their visa and accommodation, and waits some months to have them come and you are equally qualified and already in the UK with no work restriction, something is wrong with the way the person is doing his/her job search.

Kachidubem:

When you pay with form A , pound is not 1500 mate.

Gerrard59:


The question is: what is the percentage of Nigerians who pay complete fees upfront? That is what we should consider. If out of 10 Nigerians heading to the UK via study visa, only 3 paid complete fees upfront due to the high costs involved, then it means many will find it difficult to complete their fees while being students. Let's see things from his perspective. If OP is not attending an elite university and he mentions sums like 35 million, it means LSE, Imperial fit nack 60 million and Oxbridge go reach 100 million. How many Nigerians attend those schools sef?

Gerrard59:


Honestly, regardless of one's wealth in Nigeria, experiencing that stuff was surreal for me. Living in a place where electricity does not blink and things work as planned. I can understand how you felt. I felt somehow as if these people were from outer space. How could they build such a functioning society where everything works?

flokii:


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?.

Treadway:
no be even about intelligent my guy. Dung for brains like that Atk1nson dude irk me. Absolutely empty with nothing to offer.

In one thread, they are the ones that will say even if you need to sell your testicle to japa, it is worth it, and yet in another they are quick to put down those who heed their advise and run into some trouble down the road. If not dung for brains, how can a normal person tell another determinately that UK isn't a fit for him and he should forget about the 15m he has spent and go back to Nigeria. Who dash the monkey man banana and made him PM? 🤣🤣🤣

As for OP, i have said this in another thread, you can't dip both feet in the river and now complain of cold. You should do all you can do to stay afloat, I don't think it makes any kind of sense to turn back now. Perish that thought. Keep pushing, keep searching, keep networking offline and online. Something will def pop up, eventually.

i paid with row cash... row dollars.

honesty, honesty between themselves.
their political class are honest.. the average man are honest. no one steals on the street. put ur bag on major street go n come u will see it there 90%.. if it get stolen then its immigrant that just came.

here in Nigeria no honesty. that means they steal, everyone coming in politics have mindset of stealing

Send me a PM, there are two groups on Nigerians in UK on Twitter that once you post about jobs, someone should get in touch to help you. There is no way you'd be on that group & don't get a job for 1 month.

Even Law abiding people without papers work in the USA. In fact the southern border is one of the weakest in the world with people flocking into the US with alacrity.

i just spoke with someone who sleeps in the school library. said for the past three weeks he has not sleep on the bed. or sleep laying down rather sleep on chair and have to do that after every where has been shut down at midnight

fullclub:


sent. thank you

fullclub:


when did u leave Nigeria? which country?if UK was it this September?
don't use ur earlier move to compare this made rush this September.

like I said out of all i knew that came in this September.... only one got a washing of plates job i think 8 hours per week they gave her and it waz through someone she knew.. like recommendation.

and the shift no de come always.

so am not speaking just my experience. mine is fair. two people I spoke yesterday n today said nothing to even eat from yesterday to today.

I had to send some pounds to them

Mastermindx:



Stop this madness

I came in same time with you, even without a dependent and I already have two jobs. Already thinking of dropping one because of the hours.

Get your lazy ass to work man, you’re definitely doing something wrong…. And close down this thread.

The only thing you guys know how to do is share how hard things are..
If you had gotten a job same week you arrived am very sure you won’t come here to testify... rubbish

fullclub:



i have job that pay me 800 pounds.. from Nigeria. i have my dependant.
my thoughts was that i can pay my fees from that and use my 20 hours pay rent then anything my dependant bring will be surplus.

yes school collects fees like that.. for a start... maybe if things stay okay in next year u pay in bulk... just to calm them down

i understand that Nigerians dont like any negative stories about abroad.
that was what i and my flatmate who sold his cars and house was saying this evening.
that returning to Nigeria now.. that Nigerians will say he is lazy that he rather die here.

i am putting this here for those who thought that they can navigate their way if they come here and they can see job in weeks. its a lie... 3 months don't be surprised nothing. i mean even the care job where they pack shit from old people. the places don full


someone assured me that i should even sell my land.... if i come i can pay fees.... a got assurances from people then when i came they started saying different stories that i should.. keep calm. that uk is now hard

Atk1nson:


I initially assumed, you just needed someone to guide you, but I realise you already have a mind that is madeup.

Personally, I dont think you have the right mind to succeed in the uk bro. I'll advise you to try elsewhere.

Even a few weeks ago, I know of a friend's sister who came on a skilled worker visa to work in a hospital, with visa and accommodation paid for by employer.

How will someone already in the uk and with the right qualification then claim no job?

This is my last comment on your thread, not worth my time

Kachidubem:

Where does he poo ?

Mehn ,things dey happen for this UK ooo... how come Nigerians are not honest enough to tell us true state of things

fullclub:


school library is standard. they have toilet in every library... very neat and clean but no bath tube and shower.
so you can't take your bath

Kachidubem:


Chai

Do the authorities know people sleep dere overnight?

Is it allowed ?

Omo, people dey go thru things o, I fit send my guy the least month end...that guy went to UK via study route hoping he would be able to pay back the people he borrowed money from in Nigeria and the same time be sending small money for his people

At the same time try and pay up his fees...with all these your story... Omo , I'm beginning to feel for him...he's not even as buoyant as you are

He's in Manchester

fullclub:


they dont allow so he wait till 12 midnight when there is least monitoring.

i know someone who came in last year September, said he still owes people in Nigeria he borrowed.

see i have seen first hand experience and from people here. and i said why are our people making it look as if its bread and butter here?


Although they said last year there were jobs but the trooping in of people everywhere.. the uk authority want to increase revenue i guess.
all this supercede the job they have now.

i wont encourage anyone to take this route instead look at Australia, Germany Canada... from what i heard in Nigeria those places are cool...



but again i will say skills route is the best. stay in Nigeria and apply if you get the special skills... carpenter, wood work, plumbing, nursing, doctors, IT skills etc.

fullclub:
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 started this process with 15 million naira then when naira nose dive i had to borrowed extra 15 million to top it with interest of almost 2 million naira. landed in uk, started seeing the reality on ground

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. everyone here in tight corner... school has sent mail threatening to report to the immigration if school fees is not paid in the next few weeks to most Nigerians here.

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 with extra 3k dollars now almost exhausted 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.

edited with more info.

fullclub:


if you can be paying 1k pounds or even 500 pounds... they will calm down...


the issue na to see job... if i can see job today then i will be able to raise 500 in a month

i just said let me share my thoughts on uk to Nigerians selling their houses to come..


i need no pity..



but to tell the true situation.

a lot of Nigerians are here struggling with same issues

we only want to heat the positive side but am sharing honest opinion and a' clear warning to Nigerians planing to sell properties to come here.

and those on the application process to think twice... except they have their fees plus house rent and upkeep money running into 35 million to 40 million else stay back

fullclub:


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.
