Yes they do. But I know they won't make sense to you because your heart is affixed towards hatred, pain and poverty. You hate your country to a point where you can no longer hide it.

Well, you know the easy way out. But folks like you will still be born or reincarnated back to Nigeria even if you die a million times.

This reply confirms what I already know, you want to trade a o ne directional service that you do not control nor print, Backyard Economist.

BlueStripper:
The proliferation of the US Dollars in Nigeria is something we must tackle in order to fix our country.

We cannot have this country's legal tender flying everywhere yet we want a better Nigeria.

In order to fix Nigeria, we must totally reject the proliferation, trading and exchange of the USD in the open market without express approval from the CBN and strict regulations.

We must ban Bureau the Change operators from selling USD. They can only buy USD but not selling it to the public.

Does all these you have written makes any Economic sense to you?

jesmond3945:
Guys please mater the western system and you would be rich
One they have ISA for investing the stock market. I pick stocks and create pies. My stock beats s and p hands down
Two they have real estate where you can do btl, rent to rent, brrr
Three business you have african shop you can start, hair business, restaurant,
Four services cleaning business, care business, carpenter, so on
Online content creation youtube, skool.com, tik tok
Stop packing shift you would die quickly. Pay yourself and decide the tax you want to pay.

Talk is cheap, I wish its all easy like you narrated.

Peaceful123:
You are right. But to put Nigeria economy on a positive trend, we need more of entrepreneurs (business).

We need more innovative people. We need a fix in the society and turn it into Biz.

Peaceful123:
That’s a dire situation.

I am just thinking aloud though. With 42 million in cash without loan or sponsorship, you should be able to set up a profitable business here in Naija

This is the Isue I have with most people in NIgeria, you have Money you jump into business, Look not everyone is cut out to do Biz,Some of us are just meant to work.Its a shame the entity called Nigeria do not support working families.

Henix:
With ur current monthly 500 savings, it means it will take you about 4 years to recover the 42 million naira. Well, like u already said, it's a long term investment and not a quick rich scheme.

I will only advice you seek for more opportunities to improve your earning and savings

Ask yourself this, How many people who are of working conditions ie salary do you think can save physical N40M in 5 years

Nazgul:
There's no way I'll be able to know that cos you'd have to grant them permission to access your location during your application.

So if your location doesn't fall in countries they feel have something to offer them in that field, they'll reject you.

Sadly, a lot of foreign remote jobs are like this. It would take a miracle to get employed from Nigeria. Unless you want to go via Upwork and other job recruiting route.

This is what I mean, mayB its easy to do same job if you was in south Africa?

My Toyota Camry 2001 (Envelope) has been of late having issues.

I've personally scanned it with my scanner and my Mechanic has done all he thinks and there's no solution in sight yet.

When I start the car it works fine for a moment and afterwards the whole system changes and the car (RPM) drops to almost zero and shaky.

I've changed the Air Mass Sensor,Fuel pump, injector Nozzles, Serviced the injector system.

Now the engine temperature rises in a very short while and produces black smoke from the exhaust.

I have attached the screenshot from the Scans and readings too

Please Help a Brother.
P.S. I just serviced the car too

This car has a lot, black smoke means too much fuel.

Guys I think my parasitic drain is fron my battery clip. I bought a replacement about 2 months ago,then after 2 days I saw white foam on the battery terminals and head.i took it off,filed off the battery heads and also used detergent to wash off excess. Disconnected my battery for 2 days wirh the battery out and still the battery clip wires still foaming white.
For a brand new battery clips I replaced.
I feel scammed and cheated of 5k,I should have bought the toks of 3k,direct from abroad
Now it's not charging my battery well. I'm fed up of naija.so fake has also reached battery clips

Parasitic drain is a time consuming JOB.Very hard to detect, But you see, this fault is caused by rewire who try to bypass or cut wires here and there.

OkanlawonB:
When i said Austria and Germany i knew what i was talking about ( I`v been Austrian citizen for almost 3 decades), i am talking from experience not assumption and the core of my initial writeup is being able to settle in within a maximum of 4 months without any pressure after relocation on a student visa to either of the 2 listed countries.

Nothing sensational about Germany`s block account , you won`t even need to take a penny out of it because you will surely have settled in with your initial 8M naira budget and be earning enough on your 20hrs/week student job. Added to that the 12k euros will just be wasted in paying tuition fee for one mushroom school in the UK.

I would`nt say Spain, Portugal or Italy because i never lived there before and don`t know the reality of the place, i only say what i am 100% sure of.

Bro I like to Engage the Eu folks like you,Can I plz ask, what is there for the average Nigerian, in terms of making more money? and the route and duration to settle.

Nazgul:
Lol. Did I say it wasn't or are you just trying so hard to sound intelligent. If the latter is the case, you're doing a very terrible job.

I said the reason for my rejection was my LOCATION. And not whether or not it was a generic rejection.

Try and find out, if this job is remote to other African countries, you never know bro.

bea1234567:
chai. take me to uk sir. i will ppay back with interest once i start working plesese sir

lol guy you funny
to be honest, I dont even know how people manage to save up to relocate, its so xpenssive.I d ont even know how you lot survive in Nigeria. To live a standard life nah God.

fullclub:

When u see family man n children. U should know that bringing family through Msc to United Kingdom stops in 2023.

Or didn't u see where i celebrated being a graduate?

I came in 2023 not 2024. Even if u come 2025 before landing common sense should direct u to look for an accommodation

Guy shut your mouth give yourself 2 slap, there fast, U nor get respect, abi you papa not train you? if you lack home training you nor go keep am for your pocket? nah you papa I blame.U well?Nah to cary talk o n line them dey see una, all your rubish analysis we you keep here make you dey feel say you reach,Look all what you wrote are bulshitt.
This is how you lot show yourselves.Instead of you to remain in your room and hustle, you are here running your mouth. I may have typed the wrong date but I surely remember you well, and this is why you are upset, I seem to have strike a nerve

highchief1:
u are talking trash.we don’t spend pounds in Nigeria.convert ur pounds to naira and tell me 100k is small money.Even governor cannot use 100k to cook a pot of soup.stop all this

ahah 100k is less than 50 pounds which is not that much lol in PH, One BBQ fish and drink is 15k.WHere I drink in PH Sky bar a pint is 4k
Bush meat mix we bought was N45K,dry fish was N25K is that not N70k already MayB you think I eat meat the size of sugar cube, Boss like I said, I'm not taking the piss, some pot of soup worth more than N100k.However I surprised you find this strange!

fullclub:
No bro unless u are a student n stays in student accommodation then u get that.

But once u graduated or stays in a private house owned by a landlord then it will mostly not come with all that...

HOld on,I just went back to check you out, are you not same person who travelled to the Uk as a student for a one year degree 2024 October there and then? You that Just wise was cautioning up and down which means you finished your schooling less than 4 months ago.N wah why are you guys like this?

So you are telling us that you came to Uk and Boom rented a flat

highchief1:
fact say u Dey use 100k cook one pot of soup?u be seyi tinubu?

Oga just so you know, Nowadays when Im i n Nigeria more frequent, that money amount to under 50 pounds, so to me Its nothing talking of me.

fullclub:
Okay when you are not a student you pay council tax.

I stay in a two bedroom flats not a room.


Note here in Manchester a two bedroom flat unfurnished goes for 1200. I was lucky to get this

You can check prices here

https://www.zoopla.co.uk/to-rent/flats/2-bedrooms/manchester/

Now imagine if am paying 1200 for house rent alone then earning 1800 pounds after tax. How much will remain. That's 600 now remove council tax, water, transport, food, etx. All am saying is that its better n more preferable for coupled without kids who combine income as they share bill together but once u have kids then one stays n watch the kids or work psrt time. This is the reasons their government support mothers with funds for their children upkeep but unfortunately we are migrant n can't access this.

Hope you are clear now

Can I ask, a question NO KIds?

fullclub:
A security or a cleaner will earn same or almost the same with NHS nurse at the end of the month

Depends on the type of Nurse

OkanlawonB:
I have been Austrian citizen for almost 3 decades.

Nice one mayB you can give us some insight as I visit not lived there,Can you please give me a ratio of to this,
Is it easy for a Nigerian to be a Prison officer, or a train driver or a police/immigration officer?

Gerrard59:
There are many areas and specialities in nursing just as in medicine, but it is not a lucrative career. For citizens from developing countries who work in developed countries, I can understand why. But head to head between developed countries, nursing is not universally a lucrative career. In the US? Yes. In most other countries? No.

Have any Idea a scrub nurse gets paid?

samuelson06:
The fact is that the person here is using his unpreparedness to face life outside Nigeria to advise others. He's discouraging others from leaving because of his own personal failings. Months from now, he'll come back to open another thread and begin to wail again. Nobody should take him seriously.

And those are not even facts.

fullclub:
Who discourage u? Did i complain that i don't have a job?
I am full time working anf footing my bills. I am sharing insights on how the system drains all you have.
Once u earn within 2000 before tax and below then you will struggle with bills except you decide to leave a frugal lifestyle.
Driver's license don't stop u from getting a job people make use of public transport here.. White and black.
Beside this page is to document my journey wgich i embark. Each 6 months i will evaluate and open new page here. The last one was about my graduation. Then this is about work lifestyle and savings.

Be prepared to see more of this and i wont add sugar.

My next thread will be in December then i will sum all i could saved and deducted expenses then document it on my account here

Answer the queston boss, how do you pay £700 for a room and still pay council tax and water bills

Bros Calm down<I was basically stating a fact, Im not talking about your own person.Una too dey do

Gerrard59:
Nursing is not a lucrative career in most parts of the world. Unless there is a different meaning for the term "lucrative". Job security? Yes. But lucrative? No.

this IS BASED OB ASSUMPTION, HAVE YOU ANY CLUE OF HOWMANY TYPES OF NURSES THERE ARE??

AirBay:
Yes, I lived in UK for years. Your pay is still low, I know most newcomers earn this range of pay for couple of years, try to upgrade yourself, get a side hustle online if possible.

I studied in Sheffield, worked actross uk especially in the South, northern ireland, west Midlands and Ireland accross the border.

My lowest pay after 3years in uk was £37-£40 per h highest ever was £47. I had colleagues that were earning £12 all through these years because they fail to updgrade themselves, find opportunities and unwilling to move.

UK is not as it is used to be but there are still opportunities if you open your eyes.

Below are some of the opportunities i took amd moved. It will get better. Safe.

You know some people do not believe guys earn as much as 40 to 70 pounds an hour in the UK

Gerrard59:
I'm genuinely curious, have you thought of applying for jobs in Nigeria? Or what do you think about it?

---

I'm not surprised nursing doesn't pay that much. It's only in the US and maybe Switzerland (not too sure about this) that nursing is lucrative pre and post-COVID. The hype about nursing jobs in the UK is because of the exchange rate not its actual lucrative-ness. Nursing isn't a lucrative career, period.

How and where do you guys get this nursing does not pay says who?or you th inking bank staff ?
