A cleaner doing a full time job in UK is paid better than a Director in Federal Civil Service.

But if his reasons for leaving Nigeria is because all his friends are in UK then it’s not a good one. On the aspect of being lonely might be true depending on the part of UK he’s planning to stay. (But don’t forget white babes the rush Nigerians o, lol).

For there’s nothing special in UK might also be true but don’t forget that nothing too special is in Nigeria too. At least, you will see usefulness of being a human in UK.

For career wise, as an IT personal that guy will get a better Job that will pay him nothing less than £60k p|a all he has to do is doing a little upgrade courses here.

Finally even if he ends up as an Care Assistant, at the end of every month, he goes home with nothing less than a million naira after Tax and 500k savings after monthly expenses.

So, how many Jobs in Nigeria can guarantee you that?

Your comment is the most indepth on this matter. Very apt.

Good dey guys..... I was discussing with a friend of mine. He wants to move out of the country(uk) but his parents are trying to cajole him to stay ( he’s from a well to do family and they are financially capable)

His plan is after nysc he would go for masters and find his way.

He is 21 and currently serving (he’s field is IT)
But the issue is that his parent are trying to fine tune his head to stay (he’s the last born)

Their excuse is that
1) you would do menial jobs there
2) there is nothing there
3) even if you get a good job there, it’s difficult to rise as a black man
4) you will be lonely

Their main bone of contention is that there is nothing there.
Note: his dad and 4 other siblings out of 5 studied in the uk tho.

My friend doesn’t even want to stay atall, most of his friend are in the uk, he doesn’t have friends in Nigeria except a few. He doesn’t like going out because he said his mind is not in Nigeria. If you see him ehn you will know that he’s depressed. All he wants is to move to the uk.

He’s not even a badboy he doesn’t smoke, drink
He’s not a womanizer

(2 of his siblings have been in the UK SINCE early 2000’s and are already citizens)

The dad also isn’t saying he should not go, but after service, he should get a job first probably with Goverment (due to job security because his dad retired with the government) then work 2-3 years before going for his master.

His point his that he wants to go now that the funds and everything is intact. What if something should happen in future nko?

My advice for him his to leave immediately after service after all he has siblings who are in their early 40’s there to put him through and also a lot of family friends there

What would you advice

false

a cleaner in UK is still a cleaner

How much value is the cleaner adding to society.

You ppl and ur poverty mentality.

My guy went to UK to do masters back in the day, after doing masters the only steady job he could get was menial work. he could not survive corporate world they were firing him left and right.

Spending all that money to do masters and UK corporate world is tough espeically with heavy naija accent.

The guy abandon his menial work and came back to naija.
He don build house now all the other foilks in the UK still dey do their menial job.

Is that life?

Nigeriais bad we know but remeber we all die eventually.

Everybody wan go abroad hussle come back come die for naija

Unless u are a footballer or in medical field UK is a waste of time and life

you lack persperctive.

A cleaner is a cleaner

A director in a civil service if they do a good job can make change but most directors want to steal money.

U nor fit steal money as cleaner.

All those cleaner job inthe UK are meant for secondary school kids or poverty ppl.

U will find someone with BSc/MSc doing cleaner.

it makes sense if its a student job but after that e no make sense at all.

He can go to UK since he already has family and friends there but bear in mind that it is tough being black outside Africa. Wishing you the best.

Please don't quote me if you have not smelt MMA before. Thank you.

You're right boss, but most people won't understand cause they've not left the shores of Africa(Nigeria) before. Systemic racism is real. You have to confront it on a daily basis

Last born Things

These days even in Nigeria you are at a disadvantage if you don't have a Masters degree. That is if you are seeking a career as an employee. So from that perspective travelling to do further education is OK. It could be the UK or some other place but I don't think there is much on offer for post graduate IT in Nigeria . I could be wrong
This brings international exposure and contacts too.

What happens after that is another matter.

But what's his quality of life? Is he afraid of getting kidnapped in Uk? What about healthcare and benefits for him and his kids(assuming he has any) as well as standard of education. We act as if money is the be all and end all. Did the man complain to you that he wants to go back to the bank? Im sure he knows what to do to relocate back if he wants to.

You’ve never travelled anywhere! See him talking about benefits and kids.

Social life zero keh?

What is in Nigeria that is not in England in terms of social life?

The weather here is terrible! Cold!

You can’t even enjoy your electronic gadgets here cos of your neighbours who are ready to call the police unlike Nigeria where you can enjoy a good music without your neighbours causing a problem

Police ll profile you cos of your skin colour

You might need to change your name to Richard Johnson instead of Tayo or Chika cos you might not get the job cos of your name(Racism)

The Brits themselves go to Spain and other part of the world to enjoy themselves cos the weather is terrible

The bills are unnecessary exorbitant with nothing to show for it.

If you r in doubt, take your time to look at rich kids from Africa continent who came to UK to study, they run back either before or as soon as they r done with their studies.

African middle class and wealthy families don’t stay in UK/Europe more than two weeks before they run back home for all sort of reasons.

I visited several times and stayed for months on one occasion. I took issue with the specific claim that there is no social life. Of course there is. You can play football, go to games, eat out, go see a movie, visit a bar etc.

You may not appreciate these activities but don't say there is not social life. Why must you use your gadgets in a manner that would disturb your neighbors before you know that you are enjoying social life sir?

I wouldn't.advise anyone to move there for work coz its not easy to assimilate, yes. But claiming there is no social life is wrong.

He should travel to UK first. If all the fears listed by the parents didn’t happen to him,he can stay back there and continue his life there,but when he gets there and things doesn’t go well or as planned he can then come back here to Nigeria to get a government job.
