I thought there’s a way to hide some comments on this thread. I suggest we shld start doing that otherwise, the purpose of this thread will be defeated

The rule they are breaking is actually Rule 1 of Nairaland. I wonder why the comments are not being hidden by the moderators.

Rubyventures:

If we all agree to just ignore them, they will either stop coming or be forced to read the first page and redirect to the correct thread.

Responding and encouraging the behaviour on the previous thread was what brought us here.

Tell me about it..

I don't bother reading the thread word for word any more. I'm this close to unfollowing

I think the title should just be changed to “Life as a Prospective UK Student”, so that we can unfollow and/or start another thread for UK immigrants, then the takeover would be complete.

It’s not a coincidence that all the invaluable contributions by the veterans have suddenly dried up

Hello Everyone,

I am contemplating two IT related training in Nigeria: Scum Master and Business analysis. Can the IT guys, gals and others please shed some light on the potential for success for a Nigerian jjc in the UK. Perhaps there are people working in these positions on the thread, your contributions would be highly appreciated.

I did notice that there are plenty of job ads for the two roles online in the UK, but I am curious if my accent could be an impediment.

Also, I would like to have a mentor on my arrival. Even though I have read about meet ups in the UK, I don't know how a mentor/mentee relationship can evolve in that environment.

Thanks to all the contributors that have kept this forum informative, enlightening and entertaining. Starting from the pioneer op @fatima04 to the many, many others who have made the forum what it is today. Kudos to you all.

I am grateful to all that would share their experiences and views.

Cheers.

First, it is Scrum, not Scum

Second, experience over certificate any day. Employers are more interested in what you know, than in the paper you carry. So, are you a Scrum Master or a Business Analyst by trade, or are you hoping the certificate will make you one?

Finally, your accent is not the worst there is. You will be fine

hustla:


Yes.

Any doubts?

Even boys on study visa for Turkey dey enter France etc

You get mouth sir

hustla:


Schengen / Europe

Barcelona is close-by

With UK study visa?

Some people sef
Waiting for people to tell you which neighbouring countries you can visit with UK visa. Is that not mental laziness? Let’s not abuse people’s willingness to help, abeg.
Google is there for a reason, that’s if you did not already know that your UK visa is only meant for UK.
Back to minding my business, biko

Mr Chukwuemeka is one person i respect on this forum and always looking forward for is nuggets, but this comment he made was out of it

All those efficos in your class that year, how many of them were street smart or really intelligent besides “knowing book”?

LagosismyHome:


Truly it take two to make a marriage work..... that why I am hesitant with excessive begging.

If a woman has checked out mentally there nothing you can do . .... however single parenthood is not easy. Once both party realise that then maybe both will put in the effort to make it work

But it can never work if it only one person... there are some deep minded wicked women / men . If you jam them ehnn you go hear am . They are not intentional wicked, it just that they checked out so they intentional be wicked to the other party . Happens all the time

Finally, an objective woman. This has been my point all along. Once one party has checked out, begging them would only achieve the exact opposite of the intended, leading to even more ridicule. Someone has deliberately refused to add the other party’s name to the rental agreement, all the bills, etc., with the sole intention of retaining control over them, then capped it up with eviction and separation from the children. And the other party should beg? That is not an equal partnership, that is slavery and servitude - and it does not matter which gender is on the receiving end. I will say the same if it was the man that treated the woman this way. It’s wickedness, no matter how anyone would like to spin it.

fatima04:


Lol easy to say to go back to naija , when people are marrying for papers. Ish

Didn’t say he should go back. Of course, there are other windows open to him. But going back is hardly a death sentence like some would make it seem, is it?

fatima04:


If a couple has a misunderstanding or issues in their union, do you believe in resolution at all or just give up?

‘Misunderstanding’ that has led to eviction from my home? That’s not a misunderstanding ma’am. Anyone that attempts to render me homeless and/or physically separate me from my children is an enemy, and will be so treated!

RalphJean:
A wife gets a job and moves to the UK First.
She hustles and hustles and because she loves her family, she ensured they all join her.
Husband (and 2 children) arrive in October 2020.
By August 2021 (less than 9 months), they have a misunderstanding.
The man comes on a public platform to air his grievances.

Without knowing the FULL story of the circumstances.
Without hearing the wife's side.
Without details of what dispute resolution steps the couple have taken
Without any first hand experience of what a broken marriage means for a couple (especially the man who could very soon be rendered an overstayer).

Some folks be coming here and advising husband to 'Move on' as though it's easy for a 40+ man with two children to just pack bags and 'Move on'.

The kind of things yo see on Nairaland sha....

And you concluded that the husband was not the financial ‘sponsor’ from Nigeria? How did you know for certain that the man did not spend his life savings to ‘sponsor’ the wife here in the first place? Or did you assume he was the parasite that contributed nothing to the process? I have a friend currently spending all his life savings and even aborrowing to finance the relocation of the wife and children here, hoping to join them sometime in the future. And I’m here thinking if that is actually a smart move. He’s selling everything he has as we speak, just to be able to provide a ‘better life’ for his family.

Tier4Dependant:
Now this is scary...... I need to shine my eye, no sleeping.

Relocating with my wife to the uk next month, we don buy our tickets already. Wifey is on student visa and I am her dependant.

Man’s status gas to be independent.

All this dependant status is not encouraging mehn.

SHINE YOUR EYES!!!

LIke Baba Lexus said, oju ni alakan fi’n shø ori. A word is enough for the wise. All your bills should be in both names, including your tenancy agreement and you must have documented evidence of joint responsibility for your kids and day to day running of the home. No sending money to mummy to pay rent from her account and take care of the kids/home/etc. Marriages do go wrong and awful. While you do not plan for yours to go south, you must make conscious effort to be prepared for it, if it ever happens. Otherwise, sorry is the case!

justwise:


What an insult! A mature married man begging the wife to allow him into their home ? All because his visa is dependent on hers? Ridiculous! Will she try that in Nigeria?

What next ? Wipe her backside so as to stay in the UK? Nonsense!

I never agree with Justwise on anything, but I’m afraid I have to agree with you on this one. At the end of the day, the man understands his situation better than any of us, but no one - man or woman - has to beg to be in a marriage. If the other party is no longer willing, what’s the point of begging?

Myrage2:
The man should beg, plead, roll on the floor to solve an issue 40+ man

And he will have to BEG, PLEAD, ROLL ON THE FLOOR FOR the next 30-40 years of his life.. Life no balance

Lol what’s the worst that can happen? Go back to Nigeria? Is that a death sentence? Folks here acting like the poor man’s life depends on staying in the UK at all cost? If it’s no longer working and all effort proves futile, is going back home not an option? I’m sure he wasn’t a beggar back in Nigeria and will return a better prospect than the man who came here a year ago. But yeah, he should keep begging and subject himself to eternal slavery in a loveless marriage that has already ended, all in the name of visa sponsorship. Is the sponsor God? Fia!

KOVIC19COVID20:


Marriage in itself is not a do-or-die affair.
Divorce (or separation) in the UK, for an immigrant man (or indeed woman), who has “No Recourse to Public Funds” may not be a die-affair, but I assure you, it is a coma/fainting/traumatic affair… by the time you factor in 2 children, it is a DIE affair. Take this from someone speaking from personal experience.

Double your hustle, bro. That is the poverty mentality in you speaking. If God blesses your hustle, taking a very good care of your 2 children won’t seem a DIE affair to you, with or without a wife. What does it cost to properly raise a child in the UK per annum? Is that worth sacrificing one’s life or peace of mind over?

adelaja70:

Yes of course.. Their mother is from Ekiti State. Laolu is her last born....

No, they are not of the same mother. That’s Gbemi and Laolu’s mum. She’s not Bukola’s mum.

yunqdady:

Lmao. Why the attack? It was a question

It is better to stay silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubts. That question, if it was indeed a question, was a foolish one! How is asking if “the UK is an advanced glorified Lagos” a sensible thing to do on a “Living in the UK” thread? What sort of reaction were you expecting to draw?

Priti, kindly respond to Leleky’s profoundly humble enquiry.

Please any ideas


I am currently based in UK and I have a business running in Nigeria
Problem is ,I need help on how to transfer my (profits)money from my naira account to my uk account

Help me guys

You can start selling your Naira to folks here who have needs for Naira back home in exchange for Pounds here. With reasonable rates and some display of integrity over time, more people will patronise you. That way, you can easily dump your Naira with no stress.

Regex:


Bro, I do not know what you are saying here. I know for a fact I do not view any body based on their melanin being present or absent if not I would not have lived here, I would have chose an all black house and lived there. I do hang out with this guy and do lift with him, even go on a long run with him. I never had anything against him at all. But for his brother to ask him that, that means something sinister has been going on. I find it hard to pull the race card, I have been offended a lot but I don't even bother... But coming from him...


When his brother said that, he didn't say anything other than, that's him.


Also I'm not suing him for his racial slur, I'm suing him for punching me. He threatened to beat me up.

Better go apologise to the boy and make up with him. If anything, he’s the victim in all of this, not you. A racist will not constantly hang out with you like you said he used to. Unless he suddenly became racist yesterday!

Someone was talking to his brother, without saying a word to you. Then you provoked him because you allegedly overheard his brother asking him a question, to which he did not respond with any offensive language. Yet you chose to call him names because of what you believed you heard his brother say to him, not because of anything he said or did to you. Only for you to start crying ‘white boy’ this, racist that like a victim?

Trouble sleep, yanga go wake am. Na you go lose the case las las. Dem never beat sense into your head. Tufiakwa!
