My problem is that Nigerians are never really honest enough with themselves to frame it exactly as it is. They go on pretending the blame lies elsewhere. Why do we do this? We have a culture of bullsheeting our way into ignoring the truth to score points for the ego.

The same things OP longed to have existed right there in the UK(well, apart from his parents, that is). He literally chose not to make a home in the UK for himself. Yet, he made certain to get himself a permanent residency card in the same UK, which he intends to use later on.

That got me, £400? Even shopping at waitrose and the other high end stores, I am not sure you can blow that amount on feeding cooking at home. You cannot spend half that shopping at lidl, Aldi or those cooperative stores.

Kobojunkie:
Interesting writeup! Below is a list of what I got from your statements.

1. You did not make genuine human connections with those you claim were your friends in your new place. Why?

2. Are you insinuating that back in Nigeria, you were able to save up more or enjoy more with the money you made back then? If yes, then why did you leave Nigeria?

3. There are parties, suya joints(maybe not the same look), bars, and soccer pubs in the UK as well. Why did you make the personal decision to deny yourself all of that?

4. Alright!

5. Now you are being honest.

6. Interesting! You did fail to assimilate abroad. That is detailed in your writeup, and honestly, is not a bad thing. And I hope the best for you in Nigeria.

You waited to get your ILR before returning to Nigeria?
Why?

Ronaldo will not score a single goal. He should retire

Most Nigerian graduates have never applied for a job. They have all concluded that the system is rigged. I have been asking one to apply for jobs. He has been dodging the bullet. Imagine a graduate for 4 years now but have never applied for a job. He is only interested in his cousin to send him abroad.

Others believe they can only get job by buying job slots. Yes, those things exist but many people still get good jobs without knowing anybody, especially in the private sector

15M is more than enough to ball in a year and u can comfortably save another 15m.no deceive urself.15m is like spending 1.25m monthly.400k is more than enough to fuel car in a month (like around 300litre- where u wan even go with 300litre in a month) 500k more than enough for good quality food
300k for miscellaneous .
Infact how many families even fit afford 1m for monthly spending in this 9ja.

Take this bitter truth in human relationships, a married woman opened up to me about her marriage and what she is passing through with her husband.

She said if not for her kids, she is done with her husband.

Don't mind them, most have never done business in their lives, but will tell others to go and do business. The Nigerian business climate is at its worst in history. I have been a businessman for the last 20 years, so I know what I am talking about. Businesses are closing in droves year in year out, both small businesses and large ones. I open a snacks shop at the height of Covid19 in 2000. As bad as the economy was we were making turnover of 20000 to 30000 daily. For the past one year, we hardly see 5000 turnover per day. No be person wey don't chop belefull dey buy snacks. Even big eateries like Tastee fried chicken and Tantaliser have closed shop, they have now resorted to selling in small kiosks. I am closing the snack shop at the end of this month. Paying high shop rent, running generator and paying staff is just not worth it.
