I am a "decent income" earner, living and working here in London.

After all the expenditure for the month, what I have as spare for savings for a month, is the several months savings of a "decent income" earner in Nigeria and in terms of what it buy in each Country.😂😂😳

The best comparison is how the lowest income earner in Nigeria fares, in comparison to the low income earner in another Country.

The thing tire me ohhh.

That's why I upped the Income to 500k sef.

A person earning 500k in Nigeria is struggling, let alone someone earning 70k monthly 😄😄

TopBanter:
Bro, go and inspect my first post here, that you quoted, to note you jumped the gun. I made sure to qualify my statement properly with "for those with decent income" condition to ensure folks know I was not talking about a "minimum wage earner in Nigeria".

My point stands that those earning decent income in Nigeria are better off than those earning what is decent income in the UK because of high cost of rent, bills, public transport fees everyday associated cost etal.

Britons, who earn decent wage, are frustratingly testifying online about how fed up they are with life in the nation and you are here saying something else.

If you earn £3000 monthly, after tax, that would be £36000 annually which used to be very decent money like even 10 years ago in the UK.

Today, with even a studio flat in a decent-ish area of London costing £1800 monthly, £21,600 annually, then how much is left to service many, many bills and other if life's essential recurring outgoings in one of the most expensive nation on Earth?

Whereas , can you then compare the lifestyle of a Londoner earning £3000 a month ( around 6 million Naira) to Lagosian earning 1 million naira a month when, to begin with, he pays 3 million Naira yearly for a one bed flat in most parts of Lagos (around 25% of his annual salary) whereas the Londoner pays as much as 60% of his annual salary on rent alone?

Yes things are tough in Nigeria for minimum wage earner but things are horrid for those on supposedly decent wage in the UK because of the unacceptable high cost of living Briton are nearly at rioting point over.

You're indeed a topbanter 😊😊😊

You guys just want to see the downfall of the west sha

All this shit you wrote here doesn't matter as long as a minimum wage earner can not live decently in Nigeria.

Besides, let's put what you call decent income to test, Average families earning 500k monthly in Nigeria are also struggling.

I'll prorate it monthly for an average family of 4 living in a semi urban area.

Rent - 50k
Groceries & Gas - 230k
Transport Cost - 80k
School Fees - 60k
Bills (Electricity, Cable TV, Water Bill, Security, Service Charge) 50k
Emergency Repairs 30k

Apparently, even 500k is not a decent income in Nigeria for an average family, so I don't even know what you mean by "Decent Income"

The west is by far better than the whole of Africa, let's stop being in denial.

The woman must have pushed the man to the wall.
Let's hear from the man side before blaming him.

You're a horrible person, a man commits cold blooded murder but you're blaming the victims of heinous crime, it's people like you that continue to enable murders in our society.

ArcSEMPECJ:
Read the lines ....

Have you ever seen a perfect human being before?

How can a man stand to say his wife is so perfect that he can't flow with her.......

Are you married....

You really hate women, I pity the woman that will marry you 😭😭😭

Women can never win in your space.

The man clearly said his wife is too perfect for him so he's ending the marriage and you're still trying to put it on the woman.

I know a few men that has this same feelings as we speak, because of their promiscuous life style out there, their conscience judge them every day, they lie to their wives that they're going for a conference in another state and the wives prays for them and wish them safe journey, where as they're only going to frolick with their whores, do you think it's easy living a lie.

Grow up man.

Africa is a shameless continent, ordinary good and proper schools we can't even build here,all we do is run to foreign nations for everything,we are a disgrace to humanity,infact ehn all nations with nuclear weapons should just come together and bomb us into oblivion,we are so k pathetic race, people and continent.

Be calming down boss

Congratulations man, It was a long journey indeed.

Wishing you the very best as you land Canada 👍

Don't be deceived by this trash 🗑️🗑️🗑️ you can't use HND outside Nigeria for Masters.

Guys BSc has never been so important in the history of Nigeria like these times, Your BSc is your ticket to escape this shithole called Nigeria.

Get your BSc, keep it and hustle for money then dust your BSc certificate, and Japa through Masters route

I'm a HND holder but I'm running a degree program with National Open University, I'll finish my program end of this year.

I'll never encourage anyone to go for anything Polytechnic 👎

Udobigj:
Good evening here 'naija' pls I won't to know if it's possible using a tourist visa or converting to work if granted one

Oga this format don cast since

Plan your Japa very well, look for money and go through the study route

sewenbigboi:
Na money be that o

I’ll rather do a top up course in UK to be equivalent to bsc than getting my bsc here and use my bsc later for masters

Yeah I know there's Top Up in the UK, You can do the UK top up if you can afford it, it's just 2 Semesters, Just tick the Bachelors box and move on, you gonna need it sooner or later.

sewenbigboi:
For the BSC
To get bsc from HND depends on course

Maybe open university offers your HND course of study
U can’t even see mine in open university 😂😂

Haa, Your course must be a special one then, you can try conventional universities then, or even private universities.

sewenbigboi:
Thanks for advise
HND is accepted in some schools
If u have the money you’ll see schools that accept HND in UK
Them plenty
In fact that’s my plan now

I'd rather obtain my BSc to enable me leverage the option of going for Masters anywhere in the world than to limit my self to UK alone.

I'm 40 years old but my age didn't deter me from going for a BSc and I'll round it up in December this year, I believe you're way younger than me, you've all the time in the world, get your BSc here and Japa later, my 2 cents 👍

sewenbigboi:
Omoh nawa o
Thank you sha

We're in the same shoes, HND does not exist outside Nigeria, I applied to National Open University of Nigeria last year April and I was given 300 level with my HND, I'm starting my 400 level now.

Guy, just go for your BSc here in Nigeria and continue your Japa plans later

tensazangetsu20:
The way woman love motor eh. I used to think it was just a Nigerian thing but men 😂😂 abeg make una try use una money spoil una selves o before delay turns to denial 😂

Every woman in the world likes comfort

Bunch of ungrateful illiterates!!!

People allow you enter their country, you're living there peacefully but you're always looking for trouble.

Animals

digitaccountant:
That's one thing about lack of vision.

You see those countries in Eastern Europe that are now part of Schengen zone( now everyone wanna go to Latvia, Estonia, Romania, Lithuanian) etc , people went there when they were not even part of the EU and today they are part of the dream.

If the OP has faith and prepare well and is going to focus on studies, things will become better.

The problem is you will probably spend the same amount of money going to these non EU countries as you would going to EU or Sheghen countries.

I'd rather he focus on EU or Sheghen countries.

victorVIC1:
Please my lil sis wants to explore Austrian. I've shared the link with her to join the forum. While she sorts that out, I will like to know if they accept HND for master's programs. She also did an MBA program, does she have to declare this or leave it out?


Also when does admission commences for September intake?

Bad news!!! HND is not accepted for Masters.

HND plus PGD or MBA doesn't mean shit abroad, she should have used the time she used doing MBA to run a BSc program which would be just 2 years.

I'm in the same situation, I'm currently running a BSc program in National Open University of Nigeria, I was admitted to 300L with my HND.
The moment I round up, I'll continue with my Japa plans.

@Tensa please I got some questions!!

Are there English taught masters in Chile, MBA or Msc in Business Admin?

Must you be employed before you obtain your PR as a student after one year?

Is it possible to secure Masters with HND in Chile? Though I'm currently running a BSc program scheduled to end in December 2025.

I hope there's no age restriction for study visa because I'm currently 40 years

Hypocrites

If it was a woman that did this now, all of you would have been shouting "Fear Women"

Because it's a man, you guys are attributing it to Drugs

He is a murderer, it was a premeditated murder, he should be killed ASAP!!

AquilaOvum:
We are waiting for our seniors to come and enlighten us.
But from what I learnt in other Australia threads, the best route as a nurse is going through the student visa route.
The process of processing the PR visa from Nigeria is very bureaucratic and cumbersome.

This is why Nigerians are still backward on a global scale

It's always better to immigrate as a permanent resident, that way you enjoy all the benefits of Immigration from the moment you land in your dream country!!!
All the bureaucracy and cumbersome process will not exceed a year, the Indians understand this, they're always patient with the process until they get what they want.

If you're a licensed Nurse from Nigeria with BSN, please forget the student route, use 6 months to do all the proper documentation and English test, then apply for Permanent Residence :

Very good.

Polytechnics are useless.

HND graduates are not accepted in the whole of Europe, Asia, America, Africa, Oceania etc for Masters Degree admission.

A lot of HND graduates are stuck in Nigeria because they can't Japa through school with it.

Close the polytechnics down 👎

Men are weak these days, these women winning bread for their family everyday are doing it silently but fools are in the social media insulting women everyday.

Some animals have brainwashed men to hate women, even the men that are being fed by their wives will come online and insult women too.

Weldone NBS for revealing this truth to women haters

Not a whole region. Light dey Abuja, e dey minna. Why would tinubu want to punish the north when they were that put him there.?

It's a whole region, Abuja, Mina & Kwara are the only ones that have light 🚨🚨🚨

Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa, Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi, Bauchi, Plateau, Gombe, Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Nasarawa, Taraba, Kogi & Benue all don't have light for the past 10 days

Safyqueen:
Buhari borrowed Yes
How much did Buhari borrowed throughout his 8 years?

Buhari borrowed to build Lagos Ibadan rail and it is there for all to see

He borrowed to build Warri Itakpe rail, it is there for everyone to see

He borrowed to build Second Niger bridge in Anambra, it is there for everyone to see and use

He borrowed to build Loko Oweto bridge its there for us to see and use

He borrowed to modernize our airports across the country, it is there for us to see and use

He borrowed to build roads and bridges across the country,

Gave us imfastuctural development that even his hatters can never denies it's existence

He borrowed to give us subsidy and we were able to get petrol at N200 per liter

He borrowed to defend the Naira and the highest our Naira rate per dollars in black market that the government didn't defend was N762 per dollars

He borrowed to defend our farmers by introducing different Agric programs that's why garri remained the last helper of the poor throughout his term as president

But for OTP, One Term President, we never see anything yet.

Buhari and Tinubu are failures

ayorins:

What is the easiest way to apply for a PR from a closed work permit?

There are several PR pathways for you, Just work for 1 year full time then check the Canadian Experience Class
Provincial Nominee Pathway

tensazangetsu20:
Yes especially if there's no way to prove economic sustainability. If your wife has a job you can use her contract but the Chilean government will confirm if she earns enough to support a family before they give you

Fair enough, in essence you must prove economic sustainability before you are granted permanent residence.

tensazangetsu20:
In Chile marrying a Chilean citizen doesn't even guarantee permanent residency

lastkingsman:
I think Belgium dey this table. I have a friend that has been doing masters upon masters. Na now I know what the issue is. Omo

Your friend should face the reality, he should marry a Belgian Citizen and get permanent residence so that he can rest with doing masters

tensazangetsu20:
Chile Is an amazing country but unfortunately it's not paradise. Chile as a country has very deep internal issues and most of these issues do not show on the surface.

You don't get to see Chile's issues until you start interacting with Chileans and get to see life through their own perspective.

The wage inequality in Chile is very real. A simple internet search will show you that Chile has one of the largest income Inequalities in the world but if you come to Chile, it's not very apparent. Most people tend to dress well and somehow look fresh but men life is hard.

Let's say you live in the same city I live in and you earn the Chilean minimum wage of around 500000 Chilean pesos which comes to around 500 usd a month. A single room in this city. A room not a house goes for 200000 pesos. You would also pay a tax of around 50000 pesos on that money. What's left after that. How are you gonna eat? How are you gonna buy clothes and all.

The education gap is also very wide. It's very expensive to go to school in Chile from primary school to university so if you are born in a low income household you are pretty much bleeped to be honest. It will take the grace of god to pull out. To be born to a poor single mother household in Chile is equivalent to being born an almajiri in Nigeria. There's really not much difference. Life on earth would be hell for both people.

Another problem I have noticed is that the family unit in Chile is completely broken. A lot of Chilean men are very irresponsible and that has led to a huge number of single mothers. It's almost an epidemic here. There's like so many single mothers. Most times these kids are left to the mothers to raise and it's extremely difficult especially if the lady doesn't have a good career or profession going for her.

Truly every country in this world has issues and there's really no perfect country on earth. I like Chile for what I have gained here and the opportunities I have gotten access to but Chile has really deep issues and I feel those issues are what makes Chile a second world country despite how developed the country is. I feel a whole lot more work will need to be done by the government to reduce the wage gap for Chile to actually be a first world nation in the true sense of it.

This is actually not a problem, Chile is where it's supposed to be in terms of development, like you said it's a Second world country, I'm not disappointed with that.

Chile is still far better than a certain giant of Africa that has become a home to Mass murderers, Serial killers, Kidnappers, Ritualists, Armed Robbers, Bribery and Corruption, Vandalism etc

Chile will get there.
