giselle237: I understand that you are upset because what you believed to be the ultimate job—a Band 8 nurse position in the NHS—has not met your expectations. I feel that your frustration increased when you thought you had me profiled, which led to a significant derailment. Secondly, it is unproductive to label others as liars without knowing their circumstances. I encourage you to engage in adult conversations online without resorting to insults.
Thanks.
See as you dey xplain your self,Only 4 years in D Uk you don dey xplain OP Japa ohhh
giselle237: Give me 10 million naira now ie. 120 million naira per annum and let me be going and leave everything for you Mr. Ericko
You don't even understand what is happening around you sound like a person who get fed by their parents,N10m is less than £5kGuy go hustle stop playing make your mate nor leave you behind.4 your m ind you go think say nah yab I dey yab you but nah coded advice.
giselle237: You are the one that went on acting as a detective and same you is the one still angry. Lagos na wa.
Angry ke lol is that the only response you could co me up with since I just put it to you that you was a liar nah una way, Una go dey make mouth shey your body don cold now. anyway your Biz, back to the topic plzz OP Japa if the offer stands still cos very soon,9ja go worse pass ZIM and Venezuela.
Jamesclooney: Bro, it’s so tragic what is happening back home. I don’t think it gets enough global coverage. How can a currency collapse from £1/600 to £1/2,200 in 16 months and yet everyone is going about like it’s normal? Which salary increase can accommodate that increase? Especially with our demand for foreign goods, from petrol to education & even medical trips.
I did undergraduate studies when £1 = 280 naira. My parents were modest earners. Which middle class parent can try that now
Anyone advocating for anything Naija (investment or relocation) is clearly not looking at the current trends.
People do not know bro, imagine to even now come here you have to be a millionaire, Its so xpenssive imagine spending almost N30m. now the pounds is N2200 if you use tetrad.SO ordinary UK phone you cant buy and send to 9ja cos a 100 pounds phone is now above N250k in 9ja, very soon all the kids abroad will buy the lands and houses in Nigeria and Local man will pack to the village to reset.
giselle237: Haha if you go up you would see for security reasons. 200k household income is not a myth. Know this today. I am not a daft person and absolutely will not release my financial details to you further than what I have done. As usual everything is about ILR 😂
Oga rest,what rubbish security reasons, even if you are CTC cleared don't mean shyte. GUy stop boasting,200k my backside. You do not need all these to make a suggestive argument, you are doing well on this thread stic to it and don't start all this assumptions deviation you are flinging right now. From the way you are talking one can easily grasp that you have not been in the Uk for long as regards the grading of a Nursing persons salary. And also you are blasting yourself in the leg cos if you who came in the UK 2019 can have a household Income of above 200k as stated by your lord mayor YOU then why cant OP?? nah two head you get ni, guy rest abeg.
giselle237: @jamesclooney I wonder why you are forcing this nurse to live in Lekki. I don’t understand. What if she is in Ph? Also childcare is not £1000 in UK for 2 children monthly. Pls ask around well. Rent of £1000 for how many people? Utilities and council 400 hmm… And why are you calculating with 4k? Her husband is not getting a job the day she lands to start her £2000 UK nurse role pls. Kindly use the £2000 as we are comparing the realities she will set off with. 5 million naira reality or £2000 reality.
Just so you know,£2000 is less than N5m, so do you think this is right?
Chetas81: of course i understand you, the contribution you have here won't be available anywhere you go, man in black colour always believe that, someone have to build their land for foreign slaves, who don't have idea of modern infrastructure
This was why I asked if you do not have hands?? you can start with you, simple, E no reach fight.
giselle237: My goodness. First off, you have not even completed your research accurately. Next, so everyone in UK is a nurse and all are working towards becoming band 8 nurses? I didn’t know that I was a nurse or that I was managing and aspiring to be a band 8… thank you for realigning me to a path I didn’t even know I was supposed to be on *slaps head* Stop giving unbalanced options to oil worker nurse and basing your discuss about band 8. It is so laughable at this time as she is not one nor will be one in 2 years.
Yes I did do my research and asked you how you magically earn above 70K when you arrived i n the Uk 2019 that is about 4 years ago, not even enough to get indefinite leave to remain, you shied away from that question cos you have no realistic answers, I did not want to beat o n that horse as its your Biz, but I have to say this in response to your post.
Jamesclooney: My brother, like we said, it’s a personal choice. It’s a topic that’s open to debate. Roughly speaking, I have lived both lives (not 60M per annum salary, but close in a multinational. Also not £30k pa salary, a bit more & different industries).
If I put myself in OP’s shoes, I’m assuming a total annual family income of 70M (regular civil servants don’t earn much plus the husband is advising her to take UK job, means 10M pa is generous from my side).
My budget pa (Lekki, Lagos) on 70M pa - Rent, 7M - School Fees, 6M (3M per child) - Utilities , 3M (service charge, NEPA) - Feeding, 4M (1k per meal X 4 mouths X 365 days) - Transport, 2M (with fuel scarcity and lots of stress) - domestic staff, 3M - Miscellaneous, 1-2 M
TOTAL 🟰 23 - 25 M. Left with 45M (£20k as at today, maybe worth significantly less in a short period of time). Most Nigerian families want to train their kids abroad or give birth abroad (if in the child bearing stage), to secure their future.
UK Budget on family income of £4,000/month - Rent, £1000 - Childcare, £1,000 - Utilities & council, £400 - Feeding, £400 - Transport, £100 - miscellaneous, £100
TOTAL 🟰 £3,000. £1,000 savings monthly. £12K left over per annum.
With the UK option, free education for my kids, pathway to citizenship to increase their chances at making it in live. I know rich men in Nigerian that are crying over foreign tuition fees. One of my mentors calls me every now and again to ask me UK tuition fees (I told him to budget £20k/pa, 45M naira. He has 3 children in Secondary school). Canada and US are not cheaper/better. So in summary, it depends on your long-term vision for your family. To each his own, no qualms.
Well done Bross for the calculation I could not have put it any better. I feel that bross never go 9ja for a while now. Nigeria Rumple as we speak, things are very xpenssive.We discovered that someone with a take home salary of N500k is now poor imagine. I know people who run thier household with N3m each month and still no fantastic life regards them things they cannot control.
Won't she be at band 5 or thereabouts taking home maybe 2,200 per month which is even less than the 5 million naira?
Personally I would say take that job, save aggressively and be in a position to travel in a couple of years if they still want to. Nurses will always be in demand so it's not like if she doesn't travel now she won't be able to do it later.
Getting a job as a civil engineer without prior UK experience is unlikely to be straightforward (granted I don't know much about that field) so it means they may have to get by on a single income for a while (especially as someone will need to care for the young children).
It's a no brainer, in my view.
I think people tend to under xtimate the UK 2200 pounds as a Registered nurse with a PIN really if you earn 30000k you are likely to take home 2500.A registered Nurse will be a Band 5 with typical pay of 33 to 36k in London.NO let me also mention here, Coming to the UK is more than just money as a matter of fact, the non financial benefits out wits the financial ones. Now you was talking about getting a Job as a civil Engineer, yes you can, You can start as a Junior, I started as a mechanical Engineer right as a Junior few years later I grew to be a fluid Engineer. Ro there are loads more than money here, if not the rich will not send their kids here from Nigeria. If one do not have the funds to come here that is totally understandable but if they do then its a no brainer. PS,this is not limited to just the UK, all over the west.

I think you should read what I wrote again, I'm not talking about the Nurse, Im asking you a question. as your post I quoted where that of your personal situation.
Chetas81: na my opinion don't let am pain you lol, you be primitive person abbbbi, if Nigeria full of people like you,then we won't build our motherland
Pain me ke, me wey dey sorry 4 you.Na wah,stay 9ja build U hear. I like as you believe in Nja
giselle237: Who band 8 help? I earn more. Then household goes way above this. Wetin again? You do know people are collecting 200k? Is this oil worker nurse coming as band 8 or going to be band 8 in 2 years?? She wants to come to £2000- £2300 start as against 5 million naira start and I said no!! Please let us be giving people reassurances based on their current options on ground and what is at stake. Again, give me 10million now now and assure me I will see this for at least next 2 years, I will go back.
YOu say you earn more than 70K pounds right? hold on let me go fru your profile on here IM coming hold up
odoemelamemmanu: PHOTOS NEWS: Senator Kalu in company of his friends, visits his Mum in Houston
On Saturday, 14th September, 2024, the Chairman Senate Committee on Privatization, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, visited his Mother, Elder Mrs Eunice Uzor Kalu in her Houston Mansion, USA.
Sen. Kalu's friends who came to see his Mum with him were Chief Ifeanyi Odi, Chief Tony Iju and Chief Ikem Chidolue.
Kalu noted via his official Facebook page that him and his friends had a great time in his Mum's house in Houston. He appreciated his Mum for giving them super hospitality as their host.
"Chief Ifeanyi Odi, Chief Tony Iju, Chief Ikem Chidolue and myself were guests to my mum Elder Mrs Eunice Uzor Kalu in her home in Houston. We had a great time; thank you Odiukonamba for being a gracious host." Kalu said.
In the pictures shared on his Facebook, Kalu and his Mum looked young, vibrant and agile with a glowing smile which radiates and shows a very covalent bond between mother and child.
It further shows and exemplifies a cordial family relationship that has been built over time and needs to be emulated by all who value family principles.
Senator Kalu is a strong family man, who has high regards for women. This has been replicated in the way he speaks most times. Kalu will always say, "what my Grandmother told me", which means he learnt core family ethics not only from his mother, but also from his Grandma, which has transcended to his leadership prowess.
Chief, Elder Mrs Eunice (Odi uko na mba), the Diamond-Mother-General is a woman of peace, high family value with enormous charisma, demure and leadership qualities. These traits have been transferred to her lovely children and they're shining stars to their generation and the world in general.

This post is for you who do not want to Japa and beefing those who managed to japa,U see them? family abroad a
giselle237: For security reasons I can not mention household income… If you can 110% guarantee me an 8-10 million naira MONTHLY job tomorrow in Nigeria ohhh… same Nigeria, I would be on the first plane out by midnight today and abandon these hundreds of thousands. .. nothing wey you wan tell me for 10m in Nigeria. I would return. Absolutely nothing. First what kind of work will you do in Nigeria? you are not even working. Most do not ‘work’. They go to their places of work and have time to do school run, go to bank in between, go to market inbetween.. so many frivolities.. so much excuses. As an oil worker nurse as she mentioned, she is working at most in their clinic, where they handle very minor cases. Serious things are pushed to the secondary and tertiary centres. She would be living her life and her standard of living to her 5 million naira. Madam nurse can afford a driver, a personal chef, a personal nanny, personal launderer on her payroll monthly.. with 5k pounds(which she will not even get) she can not pay all these people for 30 days of a month + pay her rent and bills from same salary in the UK!!!! Truth. How many Nigerian women are even seeing 1 million naira monthly? I rest my case.
Let me ask you this, If you are a Band 8 and Earnming over £80k will you say thesame thing?
fineboynl: that’s big lie. 2006 /2007 usd was 114. And pounds was not more than 6 naira above usd.
You know its easy for you to assume and sit on your Nokia phone and call someone a lie,2006 I was already sending money home via western Union from North London, so mayB I was living in La La land then
giselle237: You are allowed to have your thoughts most assuredly. If I got 5m naira monthly in Nigeria I would not come here. Rent is once a year. She pays her 7million out of 60million and is sorted. Rent is monthly here, this already makes both unequal to compare. Iphone will not be bought every month. School fees is also not paid in Nigeria every month for 12 months. Little or no tax in Nigeria. What is better about the Uk in terms of her starting salary? Nothing. Other luxuries would come easy and cheap. Can she afford a driver, child minder, nanny and cook on the NHS starting salary as a nurse and still pay rent, council tax, water, electricity and cost of living in the UK from roughly £2300? NO! She can easily afford her luxuries every month in Nigeria and still be ok and have her family support childcare with a net of 5 million and no sweat. Her husband would also be working and bringing in his own income. Only the childcare issues alone in the UK with children aged 5 years and 7 years and her shifts… she will start her cries.. yes there is insecurity in Nigeria but most people here still have majority of their families living in Nigeria, let me assume they dont care about their families—> most still have their biological parents living in Nigeria with the insecurity, what makes her different from your parents that are still living in the midst of this very drowning insecurity even though it breaks our hearts but we can not do anything ? Why is her own the highlight? @nursegrace if the 5 million naira job is certain, take it!!!! It is a good sum to come in monthly for a WOMAN living in a low income, low taxed country like Nigeria. I am talking real life situation here, not internet. Your husband would easily be able to financially support his home. Your workload in Nigeria can never be compared to the workload of an NHS nurse who still needs to go back home and be a wife and a mother. The burnout is real from all fronts. For me, I can not compare a monthly take home of £2300 in the UK to that of 5 million naira in Nigeria and choose UK. I would be telling lies to you as I have earned way more than twice your NHS starting salary in here while going to work every single day completely burnt out but still showing up and in hindsight I would take a 5m option to live in Nigeria with my luxuries if I could. Easily affordable and accessible childcare for starters!!! . At least I would enjoy this 5m for the next one year first Leave no room for regrets. This typing space is too small for me to write everything.
I will say this here.If you want to live the same or anything that resembles the standard of living in the west inside Nigeria, N5m will not provide you even 40% of that.
NurseGrace: Please I need to make an important decision in my life and I need opinions expecially from people in the Uk. I am a Nurse in Nigeria who just got 2 job offers, the 1st is with an oil company in Nigeria with a monthly pay of 5million monthly and the second is a job in UK with the NHS. Please I need suggestions please, if you were in my shoes which will u choose. This decision is very important to me. And by the way I am 35yrs with a husband who is a civil servant here and 2 children (5years and 7years).
10 pounds was less than 2k few years ago. It was bad government that brought it to 20k as of today.
Flight tickets of 260k which was 2k usd before is now almost 4m today.
If Nigerians don’t go into industrialization and massive production for export. I projected that naira will trade 50k -70k to a dollar in the next 15/20 years. Wheelbarrow load of cash will only buy bread. With toilet paper worth more.
There is a good reason investors are running away from Nigeria. Because the future is doom.
What year was £10 N2K? B4 you give an answer just remember it was £1 = N250 about 2003 western Union, so what year are you refering to?
Mayflowa: Cool down. In busy cities, they sell by the road side. I see those in New York every time and even not so busy cities. You may have to take a cheap city license to sell. Many people sells in kiosks and from vans.
Not in the middle of a walkway, where do you xpect wheelchairs and pram s to pass/or even blind and Old people?
DyshApp: A Nigerian woman has shocked many by selling swallow and banga rice for £10 per plate in the UK, as revealed in a series of videos posted on her TikTok page.
In these videos, she is seen wearing different outfits on various occasions, preparing difficult dishes, and attending to different customers as they arrive.
Details from the videos, along with statements she made while selling the food, reveal that a plate sells for £10.
Quick skit this, there is no way you can sell food where she is sitting in the Uk, U will get arrested sharpish.
drLammy: I thought the crude is supplied to dangote at Naira equivalent of the dollar rate the crude is currently sold not discounted as you claimed. if what you stated is true then it makes sense but if otherwise I believe any of the independent marketer should also have access to the off-taking of the product.
I agree too, everyone should buy in naira as far as they are located in Nigeria not just Dangote
Gistmedia10: In a shocking incident, a Ghanaian man was left heartbroken after catching his wife and brother in a compromising situation right inside his matrimonial bed. Acting on a tip-off, the husband stormed into his house, unaware of the emotional devastation awaiting him.
In the footage that has since gone viral, the husband could be heard exclaiming, “After all I have done for you!” as he confronted the two lovers. The wife and brother were caught red-handed, passionately involved, completely unaware of the impending storm. The heartbreaking scene left viewers stunned, with many expressing disbelief at the betrayal.
Reactions online have been swift, with some sympathizing with the heartbroken man while others expressed outrage at the audacity of such a betrayal within the family.
dallyemmy: Dangote charges premium of $0.03 per litre which at an exchange rate of N1600 to $1 translates to about N48 per litre based on the analysis above.
Well, I think the main issue is our exchange rate which is performing poorly at the moment. However, I hope the demand for Forex when it comes to importation of petroleum products has come to an end.
Moreover, government should ensure other refineries are available and producing as well.
It's really not funny. In fact, the current price of Premium Unleaded Gasoline 10 ppm FOB (free on board) MED (Platts) Futures is 773.162 USD — it has risen 0.42% in the past 24 hours. That means the price could even increase further.
It simply means the other refineries are not or will not function as NNPC has not come out to say how much they will buy or sell from them
The more options we have for petrol, the cheaper the price
This is how we are blinded from the real problem, Petrol has never been our problems rather Power is.What business has a person who has no car or any machine that requires petrol has with petrol?, all these are distractions from the real problem
Those with null Knowledge about everything would attack this Expert and tell us how the FG is tryna sabotage Dangote, but the truth is...
Judging by the recent statements from IPMAN and NNPC, its obvious that Dangote is playing an Hanky-Panky game of setting everybody up against each other, while using the emotional blackmailing tactics to win the masses to his side and still use their sympathy to fix PMS at a high price
Dangote has reached out to everyone one, yet he still hasnt make his price known during the process
But NNPC said they will buy all of Dangote product nor be so?

if you earn 30000k you are likely to take home 2500.A registered Nurse will be a Band 5 with typical pay of 33 to 36k in London.NO let me also mention here, Coming to the UK is more than just money as a matter of fact, the non financial benefits out wits the financial ones.
