Soludo is doing well n cleansing the land.

There is a connection between this and kidnapping

Atk1nson:
You are either an alternate account of the op, or you struggle with comprehension.

The guy could have clearly stated that he lacked ambition which is why he has no driving licence and lives on the bare minimum rather than suggesting its the norm.

For all I care, he can quit work and live in food banks where he stays, but he should be clear on why.

All you do is respond with anger. All i said is the fact.

So take a back sit

erico2k2:
How and where do you guys get this nursing does not pay says who?or you th inking bank staff ?

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

irumole1975:
Don’t mind him. It’s far better than Nigerian case. At least in the UK, I’m sure the UK government will be paying him like $2M million dollar every year for the whole 7yrs till he get a job. Thas why he wasn’t working. Can Nigerian government do this? No they don’t even care. Useless government

; ignorance

Ask anyone who are migrant.. On their visa its says " no access to public funds" meaning u are on ur own.

No one pays u for being jobless

erico2k2:
Where in the UK do you live I
PS I know you wont answer.

Then why did u ask

femi4:
Poor salary ...na who dey earn £1.5k

Average take home for career is £2k. No bobo us

U didn't read where i said i could work 45hrs to ger at least 2100 but i decided to do 36 hrs. Even if u earn 2000 ur take home is 1700 max

Atk1nson:
Ok bro , you are right.

Sit and wait for the 6months queue.

Oga stop lies. Even self how can u get 3 slots in one month stop that big lies.. Go to the booking website and see ques.

As at today in most centers u can only book for August or September which is the earliest period.



Stop the lies

AirBay:
Ok. You indicated you have been living in uk for sometime, how long sir?

Getting to 2 years. First year was on academics so u got to face school n expenses that comes with it

AirBay:
AI? Damn. This depends on which part of the country you reside in now.

Yes but that's the national average for all places.

So many are now just buying cars driving without licence just because if backlog etc

Atk1nson:
So the reason you dont have a driving licence is because you have been too much of a chicken to take the test not because you are mandated to wait 5months after each test as you seem to suggest.

This is what you should have said rather than misleading people.

And yes, I hate mediocrity, hence the angry post.

No my brother. U are the one misleading people and saying u got driving test done thrice a month. While i might not argue with u on that i just pointed to u that u can't book multiple times for test. Its not done anywhere

Oya read the official post from UK government website


https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/car-practical-driving-test-waiting-times

Atk1nson:
You are someone with a mediocre mindset, @jedisco is correct. I have also told you the same.

I passed my driving test at the 3rd attempt and took all 3 tests within a month. Mind you, I live in an area which has very high car ownership rate and very long waiting list.

Go to the booking site every monday or tuesday morning and refresh for cancellations. There are even bots that can do it for you. I did it without a bot, you too can but not with your kind od mindset

You are just someone with a very mediocre mindset.

Why are u full of anger... Always throwing abusive words. Full of hatred no difference from agboro tout in Lagos.

Well u can only book once per time although if u are lucky then u can see a closer date. Or cancel the previous one n chose a closer date

ndidibabe:
Imagine? Which kind of mindset is this. Anyway, most people that japa are without skills..

I repeat again which skills are u talking about. List them..

Skills are relative.


I will respond once u mention the skils

Gerrard59:
This is the quality of life OP keeps hammering on. Someone who lived in a big house in Nigeria will now have to share apartments, especially at an older age. It does not make sense to me. Standard of living must be maintained in both locations. That should be the goal.

I repeat there is no improvement in personal standard of living aside improvements or access to cheap food Nothing else. Most of us are forced to work nights jobs and back home in the morning, sleep and return back. No party no visiting of friends, no sight seeing just work back home.

Communal improvement based on social amenities. Yes
good road is there.
Light is there
Fresh air
Crime rate is low

So if our government could have sense and work effortlessly to tackle this area Nigeria shalm be great

tunapawizzy:
The healthcare that is comparable to what you and your wife and your child receive in UK, do you know how much that will cost in Nigeria?
The most important thing you should consider is that you and your wife are not yet maximizing your earning power-for obvious reasons(attention for your child and probably you guys are still relatively new in UK and still trying to navigate the system).
YOu guys still have room for growth, career change to a more rewarding one financially. ANd you are also maintaining a good work-life balance between u and ur wife for now. But if i may ask, what were u doing/earning when u were in Nigeria

We have never for one visited the hospital since we arrived. our Naija drugs still full bag. I mean the ones we brought.

ndidibabe:
Your head is very correct. The OP is probably a care worker, cleaner or factory worker. You made valid points.

Apart from this jobs which job do u want to do again?.

tunapawizzy:
No. 1, your income shows you and your wife do not have skills that can command good income. But even at that and your wife working just 2 days and you working 4 days, you said you guys can still save 500pounds, that is 1million naira, Tell yourself the truth if you and your wife dey nigeria, will you guys save 1million naira per month as a family , with the skill u have and the job u will be able to do in Nigeria. Will you have access to the kind of facilities u have access to in UK.
you send 150pounds back home every month, the people u send that 150pounds to every month, if u dey Nigeria will u be able to give them 300k naira every month.

Oga you and your wife work minimum wage(which means there is room for growth if you upskill with time), you work 4 days a week, your wife works 2 days a week and you guys are still sending 300 thousand naira home every month and saving 500pounds(approx 1m naira) every month. Now let's not even convert to Naira, una fit save 6k pounds per year, while working 54 hours a week(between u and your wife)...if that is not good enough, please tell us what u guys were doing and earning in nigeria before u left

What do u mean by the word minimum wage. Travel is part of education so its good you have one.

Secondly i pay 1030 pounds for health insurance each year for each person in my household. We are 4 in numbers.

olaolaking:
That's not true. My own blood sister was a manager in first bank before she japa to Canada. Why did she japa? Because she see that as an achievement. She had everything here already but as per nag japa dry reign now. Her saving grace is that her husband has plenty businesses and investments that are flourishing here. People are just brainwashed!

you said it all. Once u are stable in Nigeria pin.

Aside the insecurity, inflation and kidnapping... Any government that can tackle this three stuff will help Nigeria beyond measure

43Ronin:
The problem is that the people that make these post are on student visa with limited work hours. They have neither gotten papers for unltd work nor stayed long enough to understand how it works. But rather than focus on their hustle, they litter the internet with their inadequate info. If nigerians on unltd/work visa/PR/citizens post pay cheque for you, you will know you are wasting away your youth in nigeria honestly. The day I travelled to go see my bro in yankee and analyzed his pay cheque was the day I quit my banking job. It was not easy initially but with time e go balance. What is 30 million naira? Guys are saving at least $2k per month from one job (no side hustle included oo)

We are through with school and on full work Visa.

I don't know anything about America am not there. I only gave u analysis of United Kingdom.


For u to save 2k pounds per month u should be earning at least 4500 pounds monthly so at the end of the day you should take home after tax 3400 and remove 2000 as savings then take 1400 to settle ur monthly bills.

Foru to earn this much. I think u should be in civil service and some years of experience to climb the ladder or u should have an in demand skills like in construction, surgeon etc or a top managerial position

jedisco:
You have a mindset of mediocrity. No offence.

I have seen people who failed the driving test multiple times and those who passed on first attempt (even without driving in Nigeria). Taking away exceptions, the overriding difference between both groups was their mindset. Those who approached the exam believing it to be hard kept failing. Those who saw the simplicity in it passed.

Any route you'd take on your test date would be one you have driven multiplen times with your instructor. There is no catch, you know what they'd ask, answer and go. Its so easy an exam but folks approach it believing they've failed even before taking it and have anxiety wreck them.

BTW, I passed both the theory and practical on first attempt. Its an easy test

Why are u guys always throwing insults.

The guy replied me as if u can just pick up a car and drive or walk into a driving licence office and pick it.


Am trying to make him understand that its not all that it takes an average of 4 to 5 months to sit for practical test and statistics says over 45% have passed rate....

Does that says am idle. I have a provisional and have passed theory teste and am waiting for practical.

All u have to do is to wait... The wait period u have no power over it.

Stop personal attacks and face reality on him ground. If i had said negative things about Nigeria u wont attack

OChimex:
Lol. It's easy. The guy was right. If you move to America or Europe, don't waste your time, learn a high in demand skill ASAP.
My experience. Moved to US, learnt a skill HVAC, my second year in America, just my second year, I grossed over $100k..... this year, I am aiming at $150k to $200k
Not capping, or bragging. But it's doable.
The truth is, if you are a cat, don't think you will come to Western world and turn into a lion.
But if you are a lion in nigeria, Western world will bring out the beast in you, making you that king of the jungle.
See attached see wetin HVAC techs dey earn, na Indeed ooo

Yes bro thanks.

I have heard about this. They earn madly.

How long did it take u to learn it. Any experience from Nigeria?

yad2eidi:
In all this jargon, no forget where he say na 500 pounds he dey save monthly

No forget where he said he pays 1k pounds for each person per year for health insurance

yad2eidi:
best comment ever . The same guy say he dey save 500 pounds monthly o. These people can be very annoying

There are people that hardly save that.. Ask those in London. But its all process and hopeful for the better.

Note for those who don't have children. Newly married couples they could save 2000 pounds every month as one partner salary is used to cover all expenses while the other is saved.


I just gave u the life of a married man

phabulous88:
Why are you spending £54 on phone bill?
You can get unlimited calls and texts and internet on Three for £20. What happens to Lebara?

And if you want a phone plan, you can get an iPhone from £12 monthly

focus on other stuff.

Three are they network? Network that are based on location. That are offline in almost all location. I have tried several network. The cheap oned are crap.


Infact i currently have a case with one of this cheap network. Disconnect me they said no. Give me data and they are like Glo. I was meant to be paying 20 pounds every month by debt recovery and this hammered on my credit score. I am paying for what i didn't use all on name of contract

OlawaleBammie:
If una need pof ooh, just 5% pere

POF for Germany? It's bloc account. The money is frozen n given to u on monthly basis

ndidibabe:
Your head is very correct. The OP is probably a care worker, cleaner or factory worker. You made valid points.

Those are the jobs opened to migrants here 80 to 90% are into this

What about health insurance 1k per person a year.

spear007:
If the poster is a married man, then something isn't adding up.
You gave us a breakdown of your earnings and expenses without including that of your spouse spouse's income.

That means u didn't read all i wrote. Oya go back and gently read

SocialJustice:
I'm calm, no mind my writing style. It portrays me wrongly.

Give yourself 5 years, you won't ever regret leaving Nigeria. Only the constant power, security and cheap Internet is an instant winner for me. I see people returning from or going to work 4am. That country is too sweet.

No i didn't say i regret i was only responding to what Dele Momodu said and what infuriated me was when egungun of Lagos was interviewing a lady and asked her if she was given 50m and japa which she will chose . She bluntly say japa that 50m has no value and the comment got me upset people saying even 100m they will japa

While in reality those who spent over 10 to 20 years are still paying mortgage in reality

chrisifeanyi:
Were you not driving before in Nigeria?
If you were it won't take time for you to pass the test there

i was but once u exceed 1 year u can't make use of it. Am over 1 year

chrisifeanyi:
What if one of the kids is up to 10?

Mine is 5 years and 3years. The law prohibit u from leaving ur kids. Else neighbours will report u then they could take ue kids from u and risk losing the kids

Atk1nson:
The guy you are talking is probably already set in his ways.

He has been in the UK for three years, does not have a driving license and instead complain failure rate is too high so people should avoid it.

oga take a chill. In my previous thread i highlighted driving licence and importance of owning a car. This is my second year.am on practical aspects of driving
Was only explaining that its not something u wake up to get. Its a process unlike Nigeria
Already got a provisional licence

Dont have high blood pressure. U can create ur thread and explain ur experience. This is mine
