It's intense but as I understand 'supported living', that includes time when they'll be sleeping at the patient's place at night and/or basically just monitoring them, so it's not physically intense whatsoever - as opposed to working in a care home with 'invalids'.

For people who don't mind it, it's a really good gig, lol.

Edit: This is hearsay of hearsay o. Nobody should make plans based on this o, abeg.

IvanCardozo:
What's a couple vacation without dendededen for the location??

IvanCardozo:
Hostels are super cheap, depending on country and the hostel though. But they're also neat and comfy. The highest hostel I stayed was €18 per night.

For couples, Una fit stay ooo, but Una fit no dey able to palash sha . Except Una no send say person dey the room with Una. Thiuh some hostels have a bunk cover, where you can cover your portion of the bunk while inside.

Goke7:
they are the ones, not us showing those pictures of Africa. Whether it's a [b]deliberate agenda [/b]is another discourse

wonlasewonimi:
Yes, if you're into orgies and swinging.

IvanCardozo:
For flights, I used Ryan air. Got some tickets for as low as £9 (just make sure your luggage no pass 1 bag).

For hotel, I stayed in hostels (dormitories)) in those countries. They're cheap, but not the most luxurious or private spaces

jedisco:
One thing I've noticed is the cultural dilemma 1st gen kids experience moreso in less diverse/smaller town. I feel for them. They struggle to connect with newly immigrated Nigerians who'd burst into pidgin whenever we see ourselves. They also struggle to immiate with white folks in these smaller towns (as they're less accomodating). It's like they're stuck in the middle of different cultures and struggle with an identity that fits them. Of course not all.

OgbeniOptional:
Congratulations mate, please how you take go 9 countries and spent less than £1k with flights and hotels? Thanks

Goke7:
It's the pictures they usually show them about Africa are the primary reason for such questions, My wife has worked as an assistant teacher and the pupils were once shown videos about poverty in Africa, my wife said immediately they started looking at her kind of like having pity on her cos to them she must have passed through such. Pictures, Pictures, Pictures pass stronger messages.

STENON:
Yes, but they don't use the Internet to search for knowledge except for playing games and all that

STENON:
I was once asked by my Student, Do you live in a house or under the trees in Nigeria

jedisco:
The good thing is that she's trying to connect. Somethings are best experienced. That way, one finds out Africans don't live on trees.

Hopefully, the child gets more opportunities to experience Nigeria by him/herself. That way, you he/she wouldn't ask the kind of questions I get from the grown-up kids of some diasporeans.

AlphaUno:
The alarming rate of black kids in gangs is worrisome, now! Add fresh influx of kids born to these ‘woke’ immigrant parents to it. One can only hope many won’t look back in 10/15 years and regret bringing the whole family, especially their kids.
Blacks do not hold on strongly to their cultural identity - we are easily swayed.

sugarkemi:
Happy new year. Please I need a sincere advice for my next move.I got admission to southwales for Feb intake . I'm making 6 digits monthly here in Nigeria.I have a wife.As a Student with dependent is it possible for both of us to be saving like 3k pounds in a month.

AlphaUno:
Your 9 - 5 jobs and shifts are necessary money-making moves, but giving those kids a solid foundation is ‘importanter’

babajeje123:
yes however I don't want to believe it's as bad as that.

babajeje123:
Hello people, can teachers in the UK on this platform kindly share their experience in the UK classrooms. There're loads of write ups and videos out there portraying teaching in the UK as working in hell because of some students' unruly behaviours, and consequently making some Nigerians who wanted to wanted to explore the teaching route that will be opened in February to rescind on their decision. Your views will be highly appreciated.

Sweetvie:
Yeah. You need to submit professional references too
Oh boy! The process was damn stressful. I school n work in Canada that added to my point so I met the equivalent qualification. For me to be able to practice in Australia i got to register under AHPRA and all that

Lekan239:
the death rate in those developed country is higher than the death rate in Nigeria. People also die every seconds there

Sweetvie:
Lmao... Not really abt the weather. If you stay in Canada for years you'll get use to the weather.

Yeah, I think it the distance that's scaring Nigerians away from Australia. Am not the type that travel home every year so it all good

Thastie:
I have only been in the UK for 3 months and I have sent 1.2m naira home. If I was still in Nigeria I wouldn't have been able to send anything with my 95k salary. My dad n mom would still be sick and we would have to beg rich relatives to assists.
Also I have spent £1300 in bringing my spouse here so don't be naive.
Just migrate in the right way.

Lekan239:
some tech guys earn that much. Even some content creators. A guy who makes is cash through YouTube once posted is pay check here on nairaland, it was on front page, you could search it and confirm yourself

Its not about comparing the pounds to naira while you stay abroad, People who earn below £40,000 annually in the UK are considered poor there..

Earn £40,000 annually in Nigeria and you are a king here. So I could earn far less than what a £40,000 UK earner earn and still live far more comfortably.

Most migrant in UK who earn £40,000 and below, the least rent monthly(poor man house) in low income area in the UK for one bedroom is about £1000 plus energy bill. Leaving you with £28,000. You will be taxed about £10,000 for earning £40,000. Leaving you with £18,000.

To you that £18,000 runs into million in Nigeria, but it can't even pay the grocery and utility bills down where you stay.

Sweetvie:
Not really
I'm a permanent resident in Canada.
No specific reason... I got a better offer in Australia

Sweetvie:
Yeah, am a nurse
Move from Canada to australia

Sweetvie:
Yeah

Sweetvie:
Way better
You can't even compare the two
Australia is on another level

Jp96:
Is your 6a better than 5?
Camera wise only

Sweetvie:
The standard of living is high the pay is high

Tier4Dependant:
