How I Raised £15,450 in Few Months in the UK.

In an insightful interview conducted by Precious Ubani, a UK-based Nigerian lady shared how she raised £15,450 within a few months after arriving in the UK. She explained that when she first came to the UK, she had to learn various tasks, including cleaning, grass cutting, and even working as a carer. Despite being new to the country, she took on these jobs without hesitation and gradually began building a steady income.

She revealed that within just three months of arriving, she had already started earning, and it wasn’t long before people began reaching out to her for similar services. Reflecting on the work she did, she mentioned that while some might feel embarrassed to do these menial jobs, she was never ashamed as long as she was earning. She was proud of her hustle and didn’t let societal perceptions hold her back.

She encouraged others, particularly those coming from Nigeria or similar backgrounds, to stay humble and persistent. “Even if you were a president back home, when you come here, you have to humble yourself to achieve your goals,” she said, stressing the importance of perseverance and hard work.

Well, oyibo doesn't psychologically torture, underpay, wilthold slaries or maltreat unskilled workers the way we do in Nigeria. So people can accept such jobs over there with dignity but here, if you accept such jobs in Nigeria, it's not not going to be about your humility - but about your dignity being violated by your very employer. The societal perception of unskilled labor is impacted by employee treatment mostly

If she puts in 5years of dedicated work, she could be saving well over 80k GBP.

It's enough to return to Nigeria and live like a Queen forever.

God bless everyone hustling legitimately.

Success is closer than you think.

Is this before or after tax and bills? Cos if it is before tax and bills, that money is not much for less than a year in the UK.

Such a shame.

Intelligent people that should have been very valuable to the societies in line with their core trainings decided to live a lie, telling themselves that living in a perceived better society means living their best lives.

A trained doctor or engineer going to be a grass cutter and foolishly poting it online with pride, calling it humility.

Owkay.
I'm in Abuja, pls I need a job. I can do anything to survive. Anything legally permissible. I can do your laundry, clean your house, run errands etc.
Pls employ me, I'm fed up with the whole situation of things around me. I'm not lazy at all and God knows. I'm going through hell right now. At times, I feel like committing suicide

Africans have a long way to go. Our way of thinking is warped. If everyone becomes engineers, nurses, doctors, etc, who will then do those kinds of jobs? That's why it's good to pay people per hour. There's dignity in labour.

Very true. Even for jobs that earn more than skilled jobs like driving, general cleaning et al earn more than some office jobs yet they're always perceived to be lowly

If HMRC open her case now she may be told she's owing taxes.

Stop parading your success on social media the tax man doesn't like success stories.

The rich keep their ways secret learn from them

Too much talk talk. As a student in Uk, ain't you suppose to focus on your studies. You presented proof of funds and remaining school fees for embassy. Raising 15k on a 20 hours per week job is not possible. That means you dey go against your visa rule by working more than 20 hours per week. You even come online dey talk am. I pity you.

Make home office no see this video. Nah so una talk talk them cancel dependant visa for masters students. Even if you dey make such money as a student which I doubt, must you come online to broadcast it.

Naija people make we dey use our senses.
