Dave Umahi is doing well.
This project is meaningless, he should have used the money to invest in water supply to the state.

Bad guy…abeg person fit chase this kind career for Canada? If so what’s the path to take boss.
YOU can work anywhere in the world if you skills are desirable. I chose to be close to the shop floor hence I'm still doing what I love to do best. YOu need to major in Mechanical engineering in the firs instance, then you can branch into a specific skill. You can learn what I do in Uni, it comes with a specific area of work and you build on it.I give you an example, at work you may face certain challenge, then you will have to create a tool to fix it. remember this tool may not even exist.

I did this training after my Msc in 2021, with some other certifications in Histopathology.

Today my least yearly turnover is around 100k£, sometimes with free Accommodation. I have several Nigeria pals in different sectors earning 100-170k£ yearly.

Seems Unbelievable, na naija cause am

I work in Northern Ireland and Ireland by the way.

A hit in Dublin in 2024 when I be dy earn £47/h... looks small now grin

Naija people na wa. Make dm use money do certifications na care jobs dm go dy hustle, na why e hard for person to believe say immigrants dy earn 100k for uk.
They wont see this, they dwell on the scoping their uncle gave them so they don't beg them for money. Regards the care workers, don't foget this is a starting point via COS in vast majority of cases. Ages ago starting point was security, now Nigerians own care Agencies and security companies in the UK.

Bros...I can't see the great stuff! Even in Nigeria. We no fit see what the fantastic thing they are doing! They just build normal houses that men are still building in Nigeria and they don't come back after 5 yrs if they manage come seff. They drive the normal Tokunbo carsen are driving seff

So what's the fantastic thigh they are doing ?
After 5 years? you think that has anything to do with finance? last year I we nt 4 times ,to PH.Plz go to the Building section of Nairaland, not politics where people just argue.The only reason a person will not go to Nigeria for 5 yrs is cos
1 No family to visit, so they go other places instead
2 No papers
its never cos of money

And trust me how many people have that 200 GBP after the payment of their bills at every end of the month ...in UK


A significant portion of the population in England faces financial vulnerability, with recent data showing that 1 in 5 UK adults (21%) cannot cover a £300 unexpected expense. Furthermore, 12% of UK adults have no savings at all, and over a quarter (27%) have less than £1,000 in savings

Many people are living paycheck to paycheck, meaning there is no surplus cash to accumulate savings. Nearly half (46%) of UK adults reported a worsening financial situation in 2023, and a majority did not expect improvement in 2024.

Increased reliance on credit cards and loans to manage daily expenses leaves many households using available funds to pay down debt rather than saving.

Majority don't have it I mean up to 300 pounds in their account
you definitely have not lived in the Uk or know anyone who does .Do you believe a Nigerian can buy a car of 110K brand new?
Do you know how many Nigerians own their own homes and bring up their kids?
even with the new COS laws etc, the minimum pay required for you to come here is above 40K pounds
you talk about Bills Bills Bills, you actually pay more bills in Nigeria than Uk people ,you pay for electric you do not see, you pay road tax for dead roads, you pay for MOT that never get carried out, you pay for insurance that you can never ever claim ,you house rent is never proportionate to your salary hence there is corruption, you want me to go on? however as a single person in the Uk you can live i n a self contain or share a flat everything inclusive for less than 600 pounds a month this is even London, outside of London its cheaper.

You can't be rich working hard doing shift! Nobody get rich by doing shift

You get rich by owning your own business
Who told you working hard means doing shift?
you see right there, this is poor man mentality, you don't need to work with your physical strength to be termed working hard ,use your brain
Another thing with us Nigerians, think that i n order to be rich we must be business man and woman, We have very Rich Scientist, we have xtreemly Rich Engineers, we have massively rich surgeons and Doctors.
