simple, people’s lifestyle differ.

Exactly my point... so the op shouldn't generalize the situation both for those home or abroad. People make choices that ultimately becomes their reality.

guess who is falling into depressing and anxiety when they lose their job or in times of economic realities like now. who is racking up debts for holidays , cosmetic surgeries and frivolities . Not Nigerians tho.

Leave that guy... nothing you will say that will change his mind.. you like bring your payslips or tax return, he will still argue.

so how are nigerians saving between 20k to 80k dols for down payment Once you get a good job and live within your means. You will be able to save.Many of my friends are doing 1k to 2k savings to. i have a married friends who are doing over4k a month savings o. If your doing hustling jobs and overtime you will save more than that. But the average oyinbo saves nothing, they spend all their salary

Nor mind them

Living in the UK has it pros and cons but in my own case the pros when compare to the cons is 80:20. I will share my story not because I want to encourage people to leave Nigeria but just to let people know the true state of things. Sometime I read some ridiculous things on Nairaland and I usually ask myself if I’m living in the same UK with these people. People have different reasons for migrating and we are all not in the same situation in Nigeria before. I was a business person in Nigeria but government policies coupled with the toxic business environment began to affect my business. I left Naija with my wife not just because my crumbling business but also because I was getting sick on a regular basis because my immune system can no longer fight Malaria effectively and the fact that there’s a 50% chance that a kid raised in Nigeria will end up doing Yahoo Yahoo not because you are a bad parent but due to the high level of unemployment and the environment which has been polluted with fraud and corruption and I want my kids to live a good life.

I moved to UK in January 2020 on a student visa, my wife as student, myself the dependant. She was going to school while I was working full time in as a support worker, she also worker as support worker when she’s not going to school like she does 20 hrs a week while I do mostly 50hrs a week. We earn combine total of £2500 monthly after tax. Then we were living in a one bedroom apartment (room and parlour flat) with total bill of £950 Monthly (rent = 650, council tax = £82, water = £24, internet = £24, Electricity averaging £80, phone bill £20 and monthly bus pass for 2 of us £70 (35£ each)). We always have more than £1500 for ourself after bills.

After her graduation we decided to move to North West of the UK where house rent are a lot cheaper because we now have a baby and we thought we would need a bigger home. So we got 3 bedroom detached house (duplex) for £650 per month our council tax increases to approximately £110 monthly because my wife is no longer a student, energy bill also increases several time in the last year but we currently paying £154 monthly. Water, phone bill , Internet and Bus pass remain the same as before which brings our current total bill to about £1100 monthly and both earn combine total of £3200 after tax for working combine total of 77.5hrs weekly.

As for the GP and NHS that somebody mentioned above, I have never had any issue getting medical help with my GP whenever I booked appointment with my GP I get attended to by a doctor same day. As for the queue with NHS (the big Hospital), if you have a life threatening issue, you will be attended to immediately. They only put you on queue if your case is not emergency and that’s because the NHS is currently struggling to recruit doctors and nurses so it’s not as bad as people make it look.

For me, moving to the UK is the best decision I have ever made because I believe I raise my kids in a good environment where they have a chance to follow their dreams, secondly my immune system has improved a lot because I’m finally free of mosquitos lol and lastly I have peace of mind which is very important in our life.

So if your wish to leave Nigeria for any country, just to Google and search answers for all your questions and see if it will be a good choice or not because trust me Nigerians will never tell you the truth that what I have learned. Good luck

God bless you for sharing a first hand story

sisisioge:
There is really no place like home but they have made Nigeria grossly insecure and unlivable. In naija, a single girl earning 600k can easily save 500k without hassle, in Canada, 600k is about 1200CAD which is like 1/3 of your monthly earning. Yet, you can not save beyond 200 CAD per month because of bills! There is really no place like home....may God rid Nigerian of evil politicians and people ruining the country. Let there be a new Nigeria!

The question begging for answer is why can't you save more than 200CAD as a single person in Canada?

Who nor get mind or money to spare nor dey invest in cryptocurrency.

Nigerian tertiary education is free of charge... Only handling fees are collected. It is massively subsidized... If they want to go to school ND actually pay ND b independent... They shld go to private varsities

State universities nko? They are subsidized too abi?

laiperi:
Indian foreign doctors in U.K formed a Union to complain about their working conditions and pay because they were posted to rural areas they and Nigerian doctors refused to work in their countries.

Nigerian doctors can do the same. Most of them are paid less than nurses. But they are too busy beating their chests to show off to those at home.

Stop training physicians for "international" std. Cuba and China do not and they are respected for their work at home.

Use the resources to train Community Health Officers. They do not run or japa.

It would be nice to back this with evidence.

According to witness the car entered the under of a parked trailer you can check Twitter for the video

Thank you for the information. So it is most likely distracted driving... God save us from ourselves.

Thank God for life and the miracle of this great deliverance. However looking at the pictures and reading the stories, no one is saying how it happened. The road looks smooth from the pictures, so was it over-speeding? Distracted driving? Faulty vehicle? Just thinking what could have led to this accident
