It is still a better deal for most Nigerians considering where we are coming from.

When they get there, settle in, enjoy the stable electricity and saner clime as we love to call it - then their expectations would increase and that is when the grumbling begins.

However, it remains a better deal when compared to our 200k Nigerian salary. Though there are cases of misinformation and bogus/unrealistic expectations.

The only average person that can give you money in this Dec 2022 is your relative abroad. Life is hard in Nigeria.

obyrich:
I disagree with your last sentence.

pocohantas:


You can disagree by sending money to me. Thank you.

Sugar daddies are not AVERAGE NIGERIANS. “Average” is someone like you eating horrendous meals.

Any of my comment you see, you jump out like a monkey to attack without thinking. Use your brain for once - stop making that organ bored to death. Jeez!

obyrich:
Sorry madam. I have done for my relatives.

A friend of mine told me he spent approximately 3 million to get to Australia including flight ticket (2018)

lajid:


No na, at the bolded. I’m just looking for advice, I will even change from tax to audit for more freedom.

Big four no too dey pay self, after that I will just enter industry for the money. Maybe in Ireland, Australia, Netherlands or somewhere else, UK too dey overrated self

ednut1:
investment banking too is good, more money but limited global mobility. At best you get taken to South Africa .

ahiboilandgas:
Almost all workers are complaining in the UK and everbody is on strike on wage issue from trainr drivers to ambulance to teachers to nurses to university on strike They are complaining of poor pay debt and leaving the job . But Nigerians that are well paid are also leaving on student visa to join the strike in the .UK or cannot see the cost of living crisis in the UK . Is there something else

Gerrard59:


Nigerans are the at bottom of the Maslow Hierarchy of Needs compared to British citizens. Both parties don't see issues with the same eyes. It is like saying a Haitian should not aspire to work in Nigeria considering Nigeria's issues. Or someone living Gombe should not move to Lagos to look for work because Lagos is expensive.

People take actions using their economic conditions as the major reason. You people should learn a thing or two about basic economics. It is tiring at this point. Shey una follow attend public universities like I did?

ahiboilandgas:
-50 degree .weather how are you coping!

Jokerman:


You can imagine

Someone whom I know went to Australia and started doing cleaning.... I know what he makes per month.

Gerrard59:


You really sound angry ever since young Nigerians japa'd in droves. Is the effect of generator fumes so terrible?

Gist me, who knows, we fit conduct some experiments using you as a case study and publish the result in Nature.

How you see am?

expertman:
As of today ticket to Sydney is 2.8M return ticket ooooo. Minus visa ooooo.

hustla:

Jokerman:

hustla:

Obobi 2.8 meters, Canada takes almost a year to get a reply. Is the Australia process straightforward?

expertman:
Right now Australia visa is not straight forward ooooo.

Before covid it was easy if u can get a sponsor who has what we called immi card (residence card).

But right now is no longer possible .

Though I heard from next year it will be easy for teachers to get visa within 3days .

I hope they won't ask for impossible documents Sha.

Think newzeland evisa is better and faster now note evisa and not the scam.Nzeta visa oooooo.

freddie009:


Leaving this country becomes more difficult as the day goes by.

ednut1:
Average income in uk is 31k, people who did cleaning jobs when i dey uk some 14 years ago ( minimum wage then was 5.50) were able to save and build houses in Nigeria lol . 60k na big man salary for Uk, some doctors in Uk earn that.

Ifakiland:

No mind the werey.....him dey call 60k pounds per year small smh

ednut1:

Here ednut, trust you’re well. Don’t you think 45m to 60k pounds a year is low after removing tax and living expenses?

You commented on my thread when I asked whether to choose big four or IB (actually went for the big four reason being that I want to japa too.

But then the money paid looks small, how do they save with 45-60k pounds? After tax and living expenses?

OVB123:
That is thisame question i was about to ask, they don't know that 60k pounds annually is nothing to write home about. Nigerians need to learn that it is not as easy as their think.

ednut1:
this is you. You have never seen 60k pounds or earned it yet you say it’s small. Joker

Nairaland is a place where someone can become anything they wish. Some people are millionaires and billionaires on nairaland but are poor in real life .

A former church member wrote ielts 5 times, he could not pass it and he gave up
He is now an anti japa crusader on social media. But then people who read his posts don't know he wrote ielts 5 good times. I pity those who can't make their own research and rely on nairaland people
