It wasn’t a waste of money for me coming to UK, I never said that. I saw UK as a better country than Nigeria but not better than USA or Canada. That’s my view of it right from my younger age and still hasn’t changed till date.

That’s how I feel, don’t take it persona. If I travel out of the UK to probably USA or Canada and it feels shit there as well, then that’s my problem. Is that clear Justwise…

Lexusgs430:
May we all make this kind of mistakes.........😜😭

dustydee:
No the one I left in Nigeria but even if I find an equivalent one to my current one here, I'll take it as well.

AKALAMAGBO:
Maybe or Maybe Not..
There’s nothing wrong in feeling some type of way about a country, most especially a country you have lived in for up to 2 years.

dustydee:
I did not because it has become difficult to slot back in to some where similar to where I left. Are you clear now?

You need to understand that not everyone that moved was jobless or "suffering" back home. I moved because I wanted a different experience with the hope of applying that back home. Over the years, I have come to realise that it is not that different from back home and in fact in some cases, the guys back home are more experienced.
But as I said, I will give you and update when it eventually happens, just wish me well and pray it happens fast. Thank you and have a lovely day.

missjekyll:
Woah...bit rude there, dont you think?

It's OK not to like the UK,its a bit rubbish at the minute.

They say 1st gen immigrants are more patriotic than anyone else but let me just say this...

If you ever start to think of yourself as an Englishman, remember Shamima Begum and remember the British Citizens who have been abandoned in the Sudan when they flew embassy staff out last week. When asked, they said the peopleleft behind will have local help.

What sort of country abandons its citizens?

dustydee:
That's because I haven't found a suitable opportunity and Buhari did not help. I am optimistic that the incoming government will accelerate development. Now is the time for diasporians to take position back home before it's too late. Moving here was a mistake for me in the first place.
I will be here to share my success story.

Strata1716:
Not to be offensive but I don’t really understand why people pick Canada over the uk, Canada weather is shit, the time difference to family and friends back home is crazy, the tax rate for earnings is not crazy different from the uk, still the same long wait time for medical procedures, exchange rate to the pounds is very poor and traveling from Canada to other countries for vacation is more expensive and stressful.

Asides fast track to citizenship I don’t see why Nigerians want to move from uk to Canada, I can understand US but Canada confuses me.

dustydee:
Not everyone wants to be here. Some want to leave to other countries or even back to Nigeria, nothing wrong with that.
As I am, if I get a job that will take me to Nigeria, I will be off. Never liked it here and can't wait for the right opportunity.

AKALAMAGBO:
You are right anyways. I never rated UK right from my younger age and UK wasn’t part of the countries I was interested in settling in and still isn’t even though I am here right now. Being here was just a circumstance of failure in securing both USA & Canada visa (I’m sure its same for few folks here), and when the opportunity surface itself I will still move out…. I’ve spent about a year and half here, my perception about UK hasn’t changed…

UK is overrated, nothing much really.

PutinDBomb:

Cheers

Enddystar:

Maria96:
https://www.nairaland.com/7255452/canadian-student-visa-thread-part you can post here. You need to get a job offer than can sponsor you for work permit before graduation. Or else you will have to return back home to Nigeria.Not worth it in my opinion, look for schools offer PGWP programs.

SIRTee15:

Gerrard59:
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I have preached it here for donkey months that erstwhile migrants are envious how recent migrants are achieving a lot and attaining permanent residency/naturalisation quickly than they did. The career advancement, quality of universities attended and financial independence are unparalleled. E pains them and I understand how they feel. But that is life sha.

sukkot:
that wasn’t to you

sukkot:
i see you are still pained by the yoruba defeat. you will be fine.

SIRTee15:
If u don't know, ask questions instead of forming what I do t know. There's a difference btw salaried job and locum job. That's the difference.

sukkot:
just read the article bro and enlighten yourself

justwise:
Don't divert to irrelevant issues. We all know that mods here are not paid, so leave that aside.

Yes i read that articles but it did not state if that junior doctor works in London or outside London and did not mention if that payment was for that operation specifically. Newspaper articles are written to generate reactions

sukkot:
whats your point ? Are you actually trying to differentiate London and the UK. Read the article

ahiboilandgas:
he is mr Know all . He know more than the doctors and NHS worker striking up and down the UK.

sukkot:
ok you have been abroad for over 15 years you say but have been a moderator on nairaland for about 15 years too. Something is not adding up bro. Does Seun pay you in pounds ?
Ermmm did you check the article ? It’s a 2023 article

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/junior-doctors-14-hour-truth-29676907

sukkot:
problem with people like you who have never travelled before, and it’s easy to know the ones who haven’t when they start throwing big figures around about british salaries, is that there is your delusional fantasy and then their is reality on the ground. Why do you think british doctors are on strike ? Many doctors in the UK are paid 14 pounds an hour is why they are on strike. Most doctors are junior doctors and that’s what they are paid.

rinzylee:
Ok sir.

I am alarmed at such uninformed washdown. You would think relocating to UK is a death sentence after reading the fellow's rubbish.

He should be muted!
