All hail piiiiggs!!!

Let the courts settle the matter

lexy2014:
If you aren't a soldier, how did you arrive at this?



Niger is not far. You are free to go and start fighting there.

By the way, why haven't you participated in any armed conflict waged by the nigerian government against perceived ememies e.g. Boko Haram?

We have a standing army for the sake of defending our interests.

I am not a soldier but I contribute to funding the army directly or indirectly.

Safyqueen:
And therefore we should go for needless war when we are not attacked?
Which kind of mentality is this?

Nigeria currently heads ECOWAS

And ECOWAS members are bound by rules

Am I a soldier

Nigerians are a largely cowardly people

Why fund a standing army if you are ready to avoid war at all costs

Even the Bible says in Ecclesiastes that there is a time for war and a time for peace

Tinyemeka:
Yeah I understand your viewpoint and believe me, that is one thoughtful consideration I've decided to reserve for the future. I look forward to retiring and spending my grey years in Nigeria, which is why we're gradually building nest eggs here and there, but the more I get used to the modest way of life here as contrasted with the loud/aggressive way of life at home, I do get doubts about whether I can really live in Nigeria when I grow old.

When I mentioned my wife's case I only listed that as one of some examples of the drastic change in circumstances that has occurred in our lives since we moved to the UK.

I do beg your pardon if I come off as sounding like a brag which honestly is not my intention but rather an attempt to convey to you the peace of mind that we feel since we moved vis a viz the constant assurance of power supply, clean water supply (we don't even put water in the fridge but drink cold water directly from the kitchen tap at home. It blew my mind that such level of water cleanliness could be maintained all the way from the water purification plants, through the mains and to all the homes). With regards to home security, fences are mostly about 4 feet tall, with shrubbery for privacy. I've never locked our gate before and so many times we've forgotten to lock our front door and go to bed at night, without any fear of a break-in. Most of the people I interact with are always courteous, are not loud and people tend to follow rules for the most part in their daily activities. It is not all rosy though, because there are some inefficiencies you may encounter but it is definitely not something you can compare to what you'd experience in Nigeria.

Prior to travelling I'd always considered the US or Canada, because of the stories we used to hear about the UK and it's notorious taxes. Well, we came in and by God's grace we've both been working, earning, paying our bills and saving enough to send home.

If I could drop some pieces of advice about relocating to the UK, avoid London if your combined household income is going to be less than £90,000 per annum. The city is designed to only be affordable to live in by the wealthy. It is also severely overpopulated which has led to increasing gang-related activity and crime rates.

I will advise that if you ever see the opportunity to come to the UK from Nigeria, grab it with all four limbs. If it's through a work visa route, that's all the more icing on the cake. Coming via the study route with a large family at once, is definitely going to create difficult circumstances in trying to settle down.

P.S: To others who say it is not possible to save additional N12.5m within a year:

NHS Band 5 Nurse salary per month after tax: £1,760 - £1,960 for working 3 days a week.
After picking agency shifts elsewhere:
£340 per day or £3,060 per month after tax (2 nights a week, 9 shifts a month)

God so kind, a couple can earn as much as £7,500 a month after tax, be modest and keep their monthly expenses under £2,000.

You really do not have to live in London to claim that you're residing in the UK. It will just drain your lifeblood and make you forget your reason for leaving Nigeria in the first place.

Cheers.

You've buttressed my point already

The fact that you can't return home to enjoy the fruit of your labour shows you are slaving for people back home. So what is your gain

Also, how does someone earn 340pounds per day in UK How many hours do you work How much are you paid per hour
Make una lie small small nah

Back here, not everywhere is like Lagos.

Where I am power is 24 hours except there is a fault. Some people have access to potable water which they don't even pay for. Everywhere is calm. We thank God.
