My advice

1. if you are coming to the Uk as a student am begging you please and please try and make sure you have paid atleast 80% of your school fees at least this will give you enough time to save enough While working.
Many people who come through this route often believe once they make part payment they will come to the Uk, work and pay the rest of the fee yes I agree it’s possible but not for everyone most especially those who are not used to doing hard labor.

Secondly as a student you only get 20 hours per week which is not enough to pay your house rent if you are living alone and Remember tax will be deducted although your tax will be refunded to you at the end of the year by Cheque

2. If you are coming to the Uk please try and avoid coming with your family

Now this is where a lot of people make there first mistakes when coming here because most people would love to migrate either as a skilled worker or student with there husband, wife and children at the same time.

The truth is that one person adjustment in an unknown country is more easier than a family. It is more easier for a person to adjust in a foreign land before delving into bringing the family however if a family only includes the husband and wife you can make the move but when there is children my brother let one partner stay back

The high cost of accommodation in an area like London is not what everyone can afford due to low income.

The two points I stated above are what takes the largest chunk of your wages while other things like bills, feeding , clothing to me are things one can know how to manage.

In all honesty before anyone can survive here such person must be earning nothing less than 30k pounds per annum before tax anything below that means you will be living from hand to mouth God forbid

Sadly several people here are earning less than 30k which is what makes a lot of people lament and try to advise everyone coming here of the challenges.

Those who Uk is suited for

1. Visitors

2. Skilled workers: I know many people only think skilled workers are only the doctors, nurses etc but no this set of people are those with special knowledge in there respective field including carpenters, bricklayers.


3. Hustlers: yea you heard me right. You see the truth of the matter here is that a lot of people living in the Uk do not tell Nigerians or there family members the truth and what they make them believe is that everything is rosy here.

Here in Uk any job na Job and no one can disrespect you over any job you do because there is respect for one another.

Irrespective of how educated you are and you are coming here for greener pastures be ready to hustle because unfortunately you cannot sit back and relax like in Nigeria waiting for you to land that your dream job. Bros you go wait tire Infact while waiting Na bills and house rent go pursue you to do anything available.

The situation here is a matter of what we see and not what we want as long as it’s paying the bills.

Why not just wait till you are ready to open the thread and post what you want to post?

What's the point of opening thread to say I will talk about this then go to work and leave people waiting?

Bros calm down

This is going to be an honest review for those who are coming or intend coming to the Uk.

I have watched with keen interest how most People on this platform as resorted to abuse/insult on the few people who are trying to enlighten us about the challenges that are faced in the Uk.

While this Enlightenment was not meant to dissuade anyone from coming to the Uk but to prepare you of the UPS & Down faced by most immigrants.

Unfortunately many Nigerians are not prepared to be well informed about something especially when it comes to traveling while I don’t blame many if not for the situation in Nigeria.

Coming to the Uk right now is not for everyone and that is the honest truth what I mean by this is that there are some set of people whom I will not advise to come here when it comes to work.

The truth of the matter is that if you are coming here you have to do away with pride and be ready to hustle, I mean serious hustle with hard work Infact with this serious hustle if you are not careful you might not see peanut to save.

There are two major things that takes away your money here in the UK

Number 1: Tax

The Uk economy cannot be compared with that of Nigeria and over here everything is tax compared to Nigeria where you can do away with that.

This country is built on tax and the social amenities everyone is enjoying from good road, electricity are as a result of the revenue from tax

Every employer deducts tax from your wages and there is no way you can avoid it.

Number 2: Accommodation

Accommodation as become a major challenge which as made a lot of people homeless due to lack of funds to secure accommodation or unavailability of accommodation within your budget.

By the way if anyone is looking for a casual night work in London that can serve as extra income hit me up but must have full right and document to work

Hence I said (not on this thread) the Southeast politicians are still doing elementary politics.

Imagine if they were fully represented in that Southern Nigeria governors meeting and insisted that power should come to the South and should be micro zoned to the East, possibly submitting names of interest both at APC and PDP, the polity will not be this boiling.

Now we are on the same page.

Vote for peter Obi even though I don’t think he his a Saviour too but he his better among the three major candidates

Felimax:
Don't forget in a hurry that most of the Eastern governors boycotted the meetings. They saw it as a plot to endorse Tinubu presidency. Besides, though they are Southern Nigeria governors but individually from different political parties.

Why did they not agree that it must be micro zoned to the SouthEast, the region that has not produce a president or vice president?

Why did they not? They want the system hijacked to one region.

Politics is a game of interest. Should Okowa and Udom rejected the V.P slot it would have been given to a somebody from the west.

My point is they would have insisted and stood on micro zoning it to Southeast period.

In as much as I agree with your submission but honestly there are some certain things we need to be factual about and some of which are

1. The lack of unity among the south eastern politicians , How can you boycott an event and you assumed your interest should be fought for at your absence or assume the event was organized so as to push for a tinubu candidacy.

Yes majority of the governors present were from Apc but you will agree they are all Tinubu Loyalists hence the reason for what you stated however be mindful that this point cannot be pushed to anywhere even though we know that was the plan.

To me the south eastern politicians seem not to be serious yet with the presidency position. If you want a position you have to speak out in togetherness, mobilize your people and present a credible popular candidate that is capable of winning. It’s as simple as that.

Mind you I am not a tinubu fan and I will never vote for him.

Felimax:
When a fool is talking!

He has forgotten that his famous unfortunate Ortom was the chairman of the committee that gave their suggestions and recommendations that the party followed.

Mad men! Little did they know where their thinking ends that is where others will start from.

They thought they were seeing their noses while others were already seeing their ears.

My question is that was there an agreement among southern governors that the presidency should come to the south ?

If the answer is yes so why blame the committee that was constituted after the agreement of the southern governors when all the political parties representative participated in the decision

Hello Japa Crew,

Are you aware there is a serious accommodation crisis in the Uk? If you aren’t aware I am telling you for free that about 10,000 people are homeless due to accommodation crisis.

The crisis is not as a result of financial incapacity but the inability to find an accommodation that fits into once budget and also majority the landlords are insisting prospective tenants pays a month or a yearly rent. This clause mostly affect non indigenes and international students.

As you are aware that more than 30,000 people have migrated to Uk alone in this year 2022 either as student, care worker etc and most of this people comes with family which as made it more difficult to secure an affordable place of abode hence the reason for a lot of people been homeless.

To Avoid this situation, It’s best to have an adequate preparation before you come here and start suffering due to unavailability or insufficient funds and my recommendation to you are either secure an accommodation before coming, stay with a friends or family.

If you are a student with a family coming to London please secure your accommodation before coming here and also if you coming by yourself try and do same.

The issues most people have is securing and inspecting the property. Yeah I have come to bridge that gap for you.

I can help you search & inspect at a fee for those coming to London

You can contact me for other states in Uk as well.

Other negotiations would be done with the landlord or whoever in charge

Contact me on laqrinafrica@Gmail.com

I can provide my WhatsApp to you thereafter

Hello you tried sending me an email. I don’t have access to that my email due to change of phone. What’s up

I wonder what Sanwo-Olu is doing about those rascals called LASTMA. I remember how the fools took my car at Oshodi.

Those ones at Oshodi behave like thugs. They operate with policemen that carry guns to scare motorists. I ended up paying 15k before they released my car.

Sanwo-Olu needs to do something about LASTMA, especially those at Oshodi. Those guys are nothing but thugs and criminals.

80% of them are thugs honestly. I just mentioned below of that oshodi team as well. Those ones na criminal

Nonsense! As if they are not aware of there activities. I can recall my several experience with one Johnson led team , An Indian hemp smoker by name Badejo at oshodi as well as the insulting stupid man always standing a National after IKEJA Along.

Anyway as stupid as most of them are I was able to meet some whom have sympathy for people unfortunately I can’t remember the boss who led that teams name. May God bless that team wherever they are
