DesChyko: I believe you 100% I work 4 to 5 hours Monday to Saturday delivering food with my electric bike. My target is £100 and that can be achieved in 4 to 5 hours. Few days ago, i decided to be greedy by doing a 12 hour shift and i made £200. My electric bike makes the job very easy and enjoyable. That been said, it is only a lazy man/woman or an illegal migrant on cash on hand job that would have a problem saving atleast £300 a month after bills. My brother leave that guy with e yeye story. 1 Like |

hosemujica: No Nigerian is above tax in the Uk young man, the tax in question is automatically deducted from your salary by law and sent to the revenue collector ( HMRC) , it’s a serious offense for anyone who employs you business or person to fail to deduct tax on your behalf and send it to the government To even make it simple there is like this free payslip software and service you use to calcite the pay and tax due every 28 days All you would also need is the employee ( the coconut head nigerian that doesn’t ant to oh tax ) national insurance number ( similar to what is also called SSN number in the US) Infact every month all you will see is a an email that your payslip is ready and tax has been deducted to the govt Developed countries run on the tax system my bro no matter who you are it is extremely difficult to evade it 1 Like |

let forget about earnings. The most important of all is free health. where i live up north , you get free prescriptions too. your kids go to school free. You loose your job, the govt gives you something. not like niger where your employers owe you 8 months salary. In nigeria you can be saked without giving you notice. They tried that on me in the uk, i took them to court and they paid me 10k. Here , your life is secured you and your family. |

If you have children, you are not worried about how they will get to school and back home, no school fee, no admission problems, no job headache. Then what did you want to use your pay for? Is it to feed those crying for ONE Nigeria? |

It really make sense d way u just told us a little about UK. It fine but d comparison part is different. In Ibadan, u see a "face me I face u' apartment for 20k to 40k. But in Lagos, u will see a 'face me I face u' for over 180k. Ibadan and Lagos salary payments are highly different. Lagos pays higher in all aspect than Ibadan. So u now comparing 1 pound = 550 naira is different. U said d apartment is high but u never mentioned ur salary, u are earning more than d apartment rent for sure but u never mentioned d good part. |

FiverrTutor: In the Uk even if you are ready to work, no one will employ you without a work permit.Without work permit ,you will work like a slave paid peanuts. Any employer who employs illegal migrants risk a fine of £20,000 too. |

What if I told you that you have been doing affiliate marketing all these years without getting paid for your efforts? Yes, that is true. A lot of people don’t know that they already do affiliate marketing When was the last time you recommended a product that you really liked to a friend? Or maybe you saw someone on social media ask for the solution to a problem that a particular product you knew solved. Did you recommend that product? If you answered yes, then you have been doing affiliate marketing without realizing it. When you recommend any helpful product to people around you…your are helping the owner of the product make sales. Guess what! You did not get paid for that recommendation… I know you also recommend any valuable product you have used that worked for you Such as phones, shoes, clothes etc Sometimes people even see you with a nice stuff and ask you where you bought it When you recommend the shop where you bought it…that is affiliate marketing Why not keep up the good work of recommending helpful products to people who need them and when they buy you get paid as much as N20, 000 naira on every sale Why not send me a WhatsApp message, let me share a video that explains in detail how you can turn recommending products into a high paying business. I will be waiting for you |

anthonyuncle: Do listen to them. At least before coming, do your research thoroughly. That's the major thing. By doing your research well, you won't have regrets. Life being better there is just relative. If you're middle class here, better stay than travel. If you do decide to travel, make sure you have documents that allow you to work 1 Like |

se nigeria get middle class sha? its either you are rich or poor in nigeria. Most of the middle class in nigeria lives in lagos, and lagos is about 15 million people. And nigeria has a population of 200 million. chaina is 1 billion but their middle class is 200 million. the middle class has the spending power. all rich countries have a good percentage of middle class. You dont have to go in the university to be in the middle class. You can go to tecnical school in the uk and earn 60k has a gas engineer or even a plumber. but in niger forget it ,you are at the bottom. 1 Like |

helinues:Do u know why people evade bills... Someone move into an apartment amd realised that there is already accumulated unpaid bills left by previous occupants and the landlord doesnt do anyting about it. Also some dont deliberately evade paying bills but the system cause it. My street transformee got bad, for 1yr no light, the disco incharge suppose to shut every billings during that period but they will still be issuing bills. Even the new transformer replace is being done by the collective effort of the community. After 1month of restoring power to the area, they bring bills and u see accumulated charges of the last one year when there was no light. They will tell u to write to their head office, but all these are long processes.. Nigerians dont evade bills but the corrupt system makes people get tired of the extortion and the same people working there assist in this. |

Toks2008: To follow the path you want to follow will leave you doing menial jobs all your life there. It may also mean you taking 2 jobs and having no time for your children Many nigerian kids in the UK are engaged in anti-social activities because they are neglected by their parents who work hard to make money. My younger brother called these kids the scourge of England. You will want better for yourself after a while. That's where proper documentation comes in. You don't have one. I was in the UK last year for 2 months. I came back 2 days before their lock down started. Ask yourself before traveling: what do I want to achieve over there? You have to think long term! Can I achieve tt? Many over there, all they have to show for their sojourn overseas is a house they've built in Nigeria after like 40 years away. If they are graduates, their mates who they left here would have done the same. Let me give you the example of my cousin who once worked in England. He was working for Sainsbury's, one of the largest departmental stores in the UK. He was working in their warehouse at night as a contract staff. Now, those who worked in thye warehouse were either Nigerians or Ghanians. There were CCTV cameras everywhere and if you were caught sleeping, you were relieved of your job immediately. My cousin would drink lots of Powerhorse so as not to sleep. The guy who got him the job was sacked for sleeping The company was impressed with his work rate and wanted to staff him. This was an opportunity of a lifetime. It would mean increased pay and other benefits. One big problem: my cousin did not have papers. The week they were to meet with him and discuss his staffing, he deliberately misbehaved and the company lost interest in staffing him. 3 Likes |

i think you are wrong. many nigerians have pension schemes, like myself. when i am 60, my pension is 18k per anum and thats private. my govt one is 163 every week. I have a house here and one in nigeria. both will give me a good rental income. Those in nigeria when sick have to pay for their medical treatment, but has for me i can come back to the UK and get it free. When comparing you have to look at the whole picture. If i add all together by 65 its over 35k per anum. Tell me one civil servant way they collect that one. That why they still gove money. |
