Anyone who has lived abroad knows living in a place for just one year is not really sufficient to establish proper stability except your movement is on transfers at workplace. Eager to know about your experience living in Chicago for 10years..do you think almost every immigrant is struggling and do you think things do not ease out for the struggling immigrants after few years(say between 2 to 5).

Exactly.. thanks my guy for explaining it to our oga.

My friend most of these people you see below will never go back for asylum hearing. They'll live and work and maybe legalize in other ways

You truly have no idea

sukkot:
some places i stayed one year obviously like germany and france was under one year each etc. cyprus was under one year etc

So how can you conclude based on these short stay?

If you are a British citizen for over 10 years and a graduate and you are not earning above 50-60k, then there is a problem somewhere. If your spouse is working too, there is nothing stopping the couple from taking home about 90-100k per year.

Recruiter are always calling me everyday for £650 per day job inside IR35 and about £800 outside. Is it not people that are doing these jobs. PMs and business analysts earn a lot as well. There is no age restriction and you can always choose to retrain. In addition, there are several opportunities if you are willing to start from somewhere and develop yourself.

I invited a plumber to my house and he charged over £200 just to change pipe under sink. I know a lot of plumbers and builders that work only 6 months in a year and go on holiday for the other 6 months.

The way you are talking about £40k as if it is a very big money. The deposit I have to pay for my 2nd home is way more than that and I still need to pay stamp duty as it is a second property. On the other hand, are good property cheap in Nigeria? To buy a land in choice location in Nigeria, the £40k will not be enough

If you know what you are doing, you will do vey well. So stop forming abroad veteran and then painting half pictures. A lot of people are still doing well abroad.

God bless... so apt.

Below is an example. You can get licenses and work like anybody else. And you can save 100% of your earnings because all your needs are taken care of

Obviously you have no idea how it work. They accommodate the asylum seekers and care for them until there is a hearing of their case regarding the asylum. If the judge is not convinced by your story, they reject you straight.

PoliteActivist:
Some places will NEVER deny you asylum because they need you. It is just a formality. In fact in some places they'd issue you driver's license and put you on the tax roll while you are still "illegal"

There is nothing like NEVER. Dem go deny you aduro without looking back. Guy do your research joor.

sukkot:
kee in mind i was abroad for over 20 years so do the math. well i have worked in many sectors as is the case with life abroad and second class citizenship is your bbrown skin color being used against you

Of the 20, you stated you stayed 10 years in Illinois Chicago (only one city o), so the other 10 years nko? As you claimed to have stayed in nearly 6 countries.

PoliteActivist:
You'd be making a big mistake. There are places you'd save that $40k in 6 months as an illegal - plus enjoying a good life in an advanced society

Guy?? Abeg small small na. Which place be that?

sukkot:
very safe. gated estate

So it is within the gated estate you work too? Do you travel for functions or family engagement?

al these irrelevant things on Nairaland d make fp....

Exactly

seanwilliam:
Well, I personally will take 40k$ (32m)

I can always go to aboard for vacation, I no fit leave naija go Dey struggle.

If can make use of the 40k$ well, in 5 years , I’ll have enough to travel overseas and enjoy my life with my family.
Nigeria is the best place to spend and enjoy money .

You can not ALWAYS go abroad for vacation. Dem don deny you visa before even when money full your account scatter?

sukkot:
to you i would be. i have lived in america, uk, canada, germany, cypprus, france, belgium, amsterdam AND i have come to the conclusion that its all rubbish. all that second class citizenship living ? is not for me. so understand that you are talking to a man who has lived abroad for over 2 decades. you are speaking to EXPERIENCE not some wet behind the ear kid

Now I am beginning to doubt your assertion. How many years did you live in those countries? What sector did you work in? What's the meaning of 2nd class citizenship?

sukkot:
and in your shortsight you dont understand that even people in canada esecially with your status as a refugee never have money. taxation is high and even thos earning 100k per annum cant save. people have lived and worked in canada for 20 years and cant show you 20 thousand dollars cash. so whats the point ? a wise man would collect the 40k. buy a house 25 million naira. put 10 million into business and use 5 million to travel and enjoy the world but he still has a home to return to. you will be in america with your status for 20 years you will still be renting and struggling and depressed. you have to use your head bro. money no dey abroad. its work and pay bills. i mean if thats the life you want. but me am taking the 40k. then i can buy my freedom which is a house. ow i can go and visit canada in leisure

You sef...

sukkot:
a clean record ? TRY ' NO RECORD '. you are delusional bro

Leave the guy... e nor know wetin dey

PoliteActivist:
This tells me you have limited experience.
It is far better to enter with $1k and no papers than stay in Naija with $40k:
Take the $1k, enter UK, US, Canada, ask for asylum. Play your cards right. Before long you'll have your papers. Guaranteed

As for the $40k. Depends on your circumstances abroad. There are Nigerians in US, UK, etc who'll happily go back home given $10k

And when you are denied asylum, what next? Or you think say na every aduro dey pure?

This bus packing nor be here o

SenatePresdo:
Koulibaly is a fool, always playing useless long passes.

Chelsea needs total overhaul, no creativity, build up is very poor.

In Arsenal fans' voice "Trust the process"

Comrades with vawulence go soon enter the thread

crazygod:
But we kain fans dey Anfield sef. It's pathetic. I'm hearing only Southampton fans cheering.

The ones walking alone

See as Southampton wan show muscles... okokobioko

Win or lose, Arsenal dey go world cup break top of the table. Wonderful

FT
Manchester City 1 Brentford 2

Kyase:
As predicted
Anything for city to win

Las las e purge city

Angelfrost:
Brentford still played better...

If they can increase the tempo of their attacks, while shutting off Debruyne, the game is theirs.

Man City go win Sha!

Football very unpredictable...

Breaking news : The naira seems to improving

Even with the graph that is explicitly saying otherwise, you refuse to see it... look at the graph you posted closely and see if it is going up or down howbeit the official rate.
