Interesting yoruba movie on Youtube

Timaya released a song which featured Olamide

Telli Person - all about Hushpuppi

The impression was a diss track

In the end, what happened-Hushpuppi eventually ended up in jail and is still behind bars

Don't ignore information, it's not about the messenger - it's about the message

Have a cautious realistic optimism not outright disconnect from true reality

Childcare is very expensive

Raising kids is 10 times harder abroad

As you Japa because of their future, Deal with the reality of a western culture, influence and atmosphere.

Your home is not an embassy that's the reality

Student Visa is easy to get ?


Because you are a source of income to sustain institutions

Those Universities cannot survive without foreign students
Foreign students pay double fees of the locals


If you have to leave your country to study, you must have deep pockets lol


Few northerners wey dey go study for UK no dey work
The money dey, no be for hustle

Many students will not recoup their fees, Rent would steadily take a chunk of their earnings.

20hrs of work alone during academic sessions, would not yield much significant returns with monthly rent payment. DON'T FALL PREY THAT YOU CAN HUSTLE,
BE RATIONAL

At the end of end of the day afterms thousands of pounds or millions of Nairn, it's the menial jobs that keep smiling and wanting to embrace your survival.

White collar jobs dey, but Good luck with thathe

Grace exists not luck

Prepare your mind

Don't be deceived by travel agents who have never even boarded a plane for a local flight.

UK life is a predictable boring triangle


Home > Work > Church

Asians especially Indians and Pakistanis have achieved so much with their togetherness abroad and the years of such has resulted in a UK prime minister of Asian origin, Rishi Sunak.

Scotland's Prime minister is also of Asian origin


Bad Belleville and pull him down still exists among Africans abroad, it's way too bad.

A Nigerian in the UK about 3 years ago told me about planning to set up a combination of car wash business with a small space where people take a few drinks, Asun etc.


It blew my mind


He told me, "I only live and work here but 80% of my money is made in Nigeria"

JAPA ....... is not greener pastures


It means there is no trace of green in Nigeria anymore

My interpretation of JAPA is go and never return back
It is like telling people to burn their passport on once you get to your destination.

It's a very wrong narrative pushed by limited information and education

Abroad is perfectly tailored to suit a couple.....yes a couple

2 adults pulling resources together, with a clear plan

They would achieve so much more with less time

The head of the family does not shoulder 90% of responsibility, that's self-destruction mode.

It's shared responsibility


Single mums would struggle

You are worse off leaving Nigeria as single person and hoping to find someone later

Those abroad try hard to come home to pick, unfortunately the dating pool is over messed up right now. Good resources are badly scarce

Ladies wanna escape this continent as well, Self interests hidden under pretence

Abroad life is a lock down life, You step out to work 98% of the time.

Those in Yankee find time to chill inspite of all which is good for their sanity
Pressure from work is crazy.

Some people age faster abroad despite the weather, it's work stress majorly

Going abroad must be with a Plan and purpose

It's not about......when I get there - what you see is not what you get.

I am an introvert, but I tell anyone - Being an introvert abroad can be your undoing.

People network can be crucial to your success abroad

Information shared to you directly might just not be on the Internet

FACT

Why did I return back to Nigeria ?

I still need some fresh air, in a relaxed atmosphere


The trains in London, wait for no 1 - The only day the trains do not work is December 25
Every other day, It has a vital role in taking people to work to ensure work is almost non-stop

It's a common sight to see people chase trains to meet their start time at work - They are paid per hour, not just some civil service jobs where people literally just go to office late to watch movies and gist.

Do we even chase buses in Nigeria? Nah

If you have to live abroad and survive, you must work

For you to work, You must behave yourself

If you have no self-discipline, You are walking into an open trap

A nigerian told me once in London that ''Nigerian men are closer to heaven abroad because the laws of the land makes them behave'' lol

I am a nigerian man, that's one of the funniest things i have ever heard

One of the biggest surprises I had was a Nigerian telling me about the business of combining a Carwash and a small kiosk where people can chill, take a few drinks with Asun etc.

People abroad seem to even see the opportunities more around us in Nigeria, while those around the opportunities just complain as a daily routine

Abroad people, pls feel free to counter me ooooo


I say it as it's in my view, No additives

Coming home is a 'feel good' vibe to Nigerians abroad

The Careworker, HCA, Cleaner, Security officer feels big in home surrounding at least on for some time being before the return back to full time hustle

When nigerians meet frequently - 90% and more of their discussions is about Nigeria.

Home is where the heart is

Those abroad are even more current than those living in Nigeria

No jokes at all, they know what's up

I discovered my business sense in the UK, a skill I never even knew was within

E-Commerce right at the peak of Covid 19 - It was a lifechanging experience

Knowing how to make money is a SKILL, which is big deal

THE UK is a very conservative country, things are absolutely of necessity, Its a demanding culture

The US is more liberal and social.

Americans are loud, big houses, big cars

GBP - Pound notes are never sprayed, NEVER EVER

It' s rather even converted to dollar notes for spraying purposes

Haircut would cost at least £20

Plating hair could cost a minimum of £60


Please don't tag people who work for money as stingy - Not fair in anyway at all
They must be sensible with their spending by default

It's an AUTOMATIC RESET

A small sachet of Alabukun, could be seen as precious Gold

it could be sold for as high as £10, Yes ALABUKUN

it's an african product not on the shelf of Supermarkets all across the streets of UK


The value is higher abroad.......not to be compared with price in Naira


Milo......... is the Tea most of us we know, nothing really comes close, not even Bournvita,
I think Nesquick comes close, but also does not come cheap at all

UK has been packaging schools to milk foreign students for years, for all those thousands of Pounds - would you get value for money or just feel good within yourself and regard it as achievement.

what are the chances of a job after studies - Still quite slim


Odd jobs remain available to everyone who just wants to survive

SOCIAL MEDIA goes further to make Japa feel like the best thing to happen to anyone,

Reality is mostly hidden from Social media

Packaging has been a thing long before now

UK people are stingy, US people are generous

Please don't join in that generalisation

Whoever is willing and can afford to will do so

There can be a stingy one based in USA and a generous philanthropist based in that 'stingy' UK

People suffer 'odd' jobs to earn a living just to survive

Disengage from that very distasteful 'entitlement' mindset of expectation from those abroad

Part 2 Coming soon

Link to be shared once it is released

What about doctors, nurses etc ?


I am a doctor ?
So calm down,

If you have a handjob or skill

Tailoring, Barbing, Cooking, Hair dressing, MC, Selling of african home made stuff

Abroad is the Promised land
