Look at OBJ, after Paris club gave us debt relief, he still ended up collecting another loan, leaving behind behind another $3billon debt .



Tinubu will not bring down anything to 800 or 80 naira, market forces will continue to determine the true value.

Paris club wiped only 18 billion dollars and obasanjo had to pay 18 billion dollars.

That's pay 50% and we forgive u 50%

And after that he left over 70 billion dollars in reserve remember he meet just 3.5 billion dollars as reserve from abacha

We will celebrate obasanjo when he is no more

OAFMods:
So workers shoukd.not ask for new salary struxtire after prices of all comodities have tripled and the govt have also increased all tariffs ?

You are typical example why they say Nigerians love their yoke. No be this milleniun you go get sense.

This is not about minimum wage. All states have agreed to pay the new minimum wage

Ds county is sick, how we are surviving in Nigeria still dey surprise Angels,imagine salaries wey reach person enter market for one day,yet this stupid government no go still pay quickly ..

Don't read news from one angle.

They are asking for an upward review of payment.

As at today they receive their salary on the 28th of every month. And their salaries owed to them by past administration have been cleared

See that government is the best abd transparent in the whole Nigeria

Every tom dick are now bringing up their head since the people messiah has come.

Lets hear the real gist and response from the government. If they aren't being paid their monthly salary or they are asking for increase in salary in addition to what they receiving



Well they are being paid their monthly salary in facg they receives their salaries every 28th day of the month. but they are asking for a new salary structure.
They wont tell us that all inherited arrears that runs into billions owed to health workers have been cleared by the governor

Be Patient, Abia Govt Appeals To Health Workers Over New Salary Structured

The Abia State Government has called on health workers in the state to exercise patience and allow ongoing consultations to run their course regarding the implementation of a new salary structure.

Speaking during the ongoing 50th South East Zonal Meeting of the Medical and Health Workers’ Union of Nigeria (MHWUN) held in Umuahia on Thursday, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Labour Relations, Sir Godson Agocha, assured the union that the concerns raised would be addressed through constructive engagement, not confrontation.

The appeal followed a statement by the Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Abia and National Vice President of MHWUN (South East), Mr. Okoro Ogbonnaya, who alleged that the government’s centralisation of salary payments is being used as a strategy to eliminate the CONHESS structure in favour of the national minimum wage, effectively removing professional allowances that define their cadre.

“Our members are not ordinary staff. They include laboratory scientists, pharmacists, veterinary doctors, nurses, and other highly trained professionals working across ministries, parastatals, and local government areas.

Ogbonnaya further alleged that the government may be acting on misinformation from advisers who do not understand the implications of removing CONHESS, a structure he said has legal backing and has been in use since 2011.

We’ve written several letters and even issued a 21-day ultimatum, which expired two days ago. We’ve refrained from strike action pending the outcome of this meeting, but if nothing is done, we’ll be forced to take a stand,” he stated.

The union also accused the state of attempting to remove scientific officers from their designated professional jurisdictions, warning that such moves compromise both competence and service delivery in the health sector.

However, the state government assured that it “is a government that has prioritised workers’ welfare. Salaries are now paid on or before the 28th of every month, and inherited arrears have been cleared.

“What the union is asking for is not being ignored. There’s a process, and we appeal for continued patience and dialogue,” Agocha said.

He acknowledged the union’s demand for the retention of the Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS), known popularly as “Congress,” but insisted that any adjustments must align with the legal and fiscal realities of the state.

“This administration operates on the principle of social dialogue. We are not discarding their requests. Whatever is implementable within the bounds of law and resources will be given due attention,” he said.

Agocha also commended the zonal meeting as a significant step towards regional integration, describing it as a platform for unity and collaboration among health workers in the South East.

Student visa better pass am

Yes oh the best with peace of mind if possible with dependant

lexy2014:
did I ask you where you are?



I am yet to understand the reason for your emotional outburst over a simple question.

1. what kind of english are you even speaking?

2. are you saying that no one has ever travelled on tourist visa and obtained a job abroad?

Good luck

lexy2014:
that is not what I asked you.



I am yet to understand the reason for your emotional outburst over a simple question.

what kind of english are you even speaking?

are you saying that no one has ever travelled on tourist visa and obtained a job abroad?

if someone had $13,000 (N19.5m) to pay an agent for a job apart other expenses, then why not just travel abroad and do the job hunting by himself?

I have answered you over and over again. That's the same scam agent will tell u and u claim u are wise.

Am in a European country and al telling u no visitors on a visiting visa can't work.. The kind of visa u left Nigeria on goes a long way to determine ur stay. Almost all western countries are tightening their laws as regards to employment and dont want overstayers or illegal to stay.. In the uk any employer caught will be fine 20k pounds per illegal employed and face 5 year imprisonment. Take that to the bank. If u like claim u don't understand my writeup

DataDoc:
With that kind of amount, someone can get much cheaper countries to enter on a student visa, work and study and in a few years be okay. Still get your PR and so on. Save the rest of the money.

This UK rush is not worth it. It's the desperation of our people that the scammers capitalized on.

Besides, COS is free. Our people don't like reading or doing their own research.People get jobs by themselves every now and then, without the help of any agents

Most of the work visa are scam.. 99% of work visa they ask u to pay for. Go to Tiktok u hear Luxembourg work visa... All this are scam 99.9%


No genuine company will ask u to pay... Just go their skill visa occupation page then apply if u meet requirements.

The next option is through school.

Was speaking with a lady who said they are waiting for work visa from two countries. The agent assured them. Getting to two years now.... The truth of the matter is that 99.9% are scam.

Two of my colleagues who are in uk where scam earlier this year. One was 12k pounds, the other was part payment 5k pounds. They are seeking to extend visa as they are done with school.
80 to 90% of care home visa people pay 20k pounds from Nigeria are pending revocation.. They land work for one month home office has revoked their license.

There is a guy called okwulora on Facebook... Through his page a woman called madam flow scam people of over 350k pounds if not more for COS . This are Nigerians both in uk and ib Nigeria.. I think verydarkman covered the story. in Scotland same thing happened earlier 2023 where they scam students who are just graduating of over 200k pounds



I know someone who sold 2 storey duplex in owerri to fund this all end up in revocation of licence of the sponsor given two months to leave the UK last year.
Although now the government are now trying to create a way to help those who lost their sponsor to get new sponsor now while blocking care homes from bringing in people

Gerrard59:
Why can't they go back to Nigeria? Does he know the consequences of sleeping in frigid conditions? What exactly pursued them out of Nigeria to the point of sleeping in frosty conditions?

Wake up from dreams.. U can't secure a job on visiting visa in Western countries except u are land there seek for asylum.. Wait until u are processed.

In USA u see what Trump is doing

ednut1:
burkina faso is not doing well most of them are living in poverty. Forget the PR that guy is paying for on the media. He kicked out france and went with Russia. Any difference between both of them?

To witness any significant growth n changes will take years.. Probably 5 years or even 10 years or more.

But military boys are known for corrupt practices

Under which visa will u travel to the abroad

Do u make sense at all? Or u think whites man land os just where u go because u have money?


To have a work visa is by two options

1) search the job in ur home country if they sponsor then apply, if successful then come.

2) via school


Aside this two no other means except through visiting visa which can't be used to secure employment. Last last u seek for asylum.

Kobicove:
Anyone who is stranded in the UK such that he has to sleep outside in the cold is living in hell!

More than hell

dawnomike:
So, he is in the UK now... No sponsorship job, does that stop him from at worst trying to get few menial jobs here and there to manage with till he gets his footings?

Sh*t happens and when he does, you gotta shake it off and keep on moving.

If you come via work visa you are tied to that employer. No one will touch u as they will ask which visa u came with then ask u of a code that tells all ur visa information. As the law restrict u

Unless at some point u could get 20hrs max outside that's if u are extremely lucky which is not enough to cover house rent. Imagine paying over 20 million for this

CodeTemplarr:
People hustle over there and buy land/cars here. He should brace up and try harder please.

You should know that he can't work with other company other than the one who brought him in.

I have friends in this shoes. Since they arrive no job. One said he has not earned more than 500 pounds

One was sleeping in train station. Imagine under cold

A pity imo state government is missing in South East

If you must hunt. Please hunt in your state or region dont bring guns all the way from sokoto to South.

They might mistake u for terrorist.

A lot of killings go on in almost all communities in the south and middle belt

They kidnapped the man.... Wike ur end is near

lastkingsman:
It was possible 15 years ago and interest rate was below 2%. That's when the person I am talking about started playing this game.

That's why I said my only regret was not leaving Nigeria on time

I get u bro

They are quick to pay or share money to people in her constituent for all this.

Criminals are going on rampage but the Senate n federal government no care

Regex:
I highly doubt you are not complaining. Don't get me wrong, you are in your right to complain and I deserve to give whatever response I so wish. That is part of the sane discussion we are having and therefore your first paragraph is needless.

This response is highly needless "Shebi na you carrh yourself go abroad" soo useless.

The topic was raised given the current state and expenses to travel via education. Which cost over 50million naira given the exchange rate. If such an amount can be recovered with two years work visa
Having passed same route am am giving a breakdown that it's impossible to recover it unless you are lucky to get visa extension vis sponsorship job anything aside that you can't recoup your investment

Henix:
From ILR to citizenship. The future is bright

Yes only for those who are able to get a sponsorship job.

Bottom line is there is no way to recover your cost outside getting your ILR.
sadly not everyone will get it

GboyegaD:
Why are you so fixated on the £12 and £14.5 jobs? Aren't there jobs that are salaried and pay more? Don't you think at some point your wife can work more hours and earn more? Don't use the present to determine everything. This is the days of little beginning and you should aim for more.

You are right there are jobs that pays high as 20 to 30 pounds per hour. Most of them are fixed contract job. Some will require u to change career path and time is not ur friend

Example are jobs of 30k per annum or 40k per annum. This could be government jobs or private corporate jobs. Am still targeting roles in government agencies but you have to keep sending application... Let's see how it goes before the end of the year.

More also you have to balance between sponsorship and money.. You can't be chasing money n leave sponsorship.. So once u are sponsored and u stay for 5 years then u will be off visa issues as you can now stay in the country for as long as u like.

Regex:
Shebi na you carrh yourself go abroad

One can't have a sane discussion with Nigerians. This is internet community where discuss is open.
.. What has my choice of travel got to do with what is being discussed here?

Did i travel :yes i did.

Was i forced : no I didn't
Am i suffering here: no am not suffering.

Am i complaining : no i am not.

What what's this thread about : its about daily life of migrant and work life and balance of savings and income

Henix:
I tire

Several people have equally pointed out the same thing

We aren't complaining we are discussing real issues

GboyegaD:
Are you going to remain on minimum wage forever? You seem short sighted.

What do u understand by the term minimum wage?
Someon earning 12 pounds per hour is not much different from one earning 15 pounds per hour.. I was on a job last year earning 14.5 but had to leave because of prolonged standing... Standing 5 to 6hours straight carrying different kind if task before break. At times i do consider health before income. Any job that poses a lot if strain on my health is a big no...
Again To see actual differences then u should go 35 to 40 per so if tax cut take its portion you will be better off......

For example you should be earning 3500 so that once tax is off about 700 and NI you land at least 2800 as take home then remove mortgage of maybe 1200, u left with 1600 then 600 goes for othee expenses then u save 1k pounds pet month

Some Nigerians in abroad make me laugh sometimes. First of all, to hell with that shit hole called Nigeria.

Oga, the direct line manager where I currently work has mortgage currently worth over 2 million pounds and he's 40% done paying for it.

That means this man has nearly 1m pounds sitting in equity. Dey play

The average entry point for the assets were around 500k and today it's worth 2 Million pounds.

What's the difference between me and this man? A working system. He is 4 years older than me.

The only regret I have in this life is leaving Nigeria late, a decision that will hunt me for the rest of my life. A very useless country.

Na so you go invest the 50m naira by the time Bulaba is done in 2031, 50m go turn to 20m via depreciation. Mtschew.

Let's go by 200k pounds and repayment period of 35 years

An average home (3 bedroom flat) in the UK cost 300k. If am almost 40 years old now. How long will it take me to clear it off?

I can't even pay the 1900 per month given my current salary. Probably will look for a house of 150k is it possible?

GIDIBANKZ:
First of all...thanks for ya reply

You mean 50million??

I better use that money to setup TWO SOLID
Business in Nigeria and make profit

Now u see why i am crying.

That's what i spent. With that kind of money with me in Nigeria. I know where to put it n it generates funds endlessly while i wont stress my life cleaning white man's but and shit and at end of the day 70% goes on expenses. If not the kidnapping in Nigeria.

I pray for a better n secured Nigeria

GIDIBANKZ:
Oga you are LAZY... For common 12hours work.. I guess that's SECURITY JOB....watin boys dey run for Nigeria with less pay?? Bros connect boys abeq

I don't work in a security sector as you must be licensed to work as a security man else you will be breaking the law. thanks for the word lazy.

For the aspect of "connect me " you will need to come via education. You only need to apply to a school.

Most school fees ranges from 12,000 to 20,000 pounds. With a budget of 45 to 50 million you will cover everything and could be in United Kingdom by September

If you need list of universities and application guide i could be of help or you make use of Google everything is self explanatory
