British Heart Foundation products are extremely expensive. Don't ever go there. There are several charity organisation that sell as low as 30p. Their products prices are the same as going to shops where they sell new ones. I repeat, don't go there. I had lived in the UK for about 22 yrs and I know what I was saying.

22years of enduring racial abuse my brother u tried

Very very tough. Where I reside , when you were returning from the church on your local Africa cloth, the kids would be shouting at you, black , man , black man . Spitting at you inside train and buses. Damaging your house before coming back from work. The kids behave like area boys. At any time , you would just hear heavy bang on your door and windows. By the time you opened doors you would not see anybody. At work , The same institutional racist until you get sacked or dismissed. They worked against any of your movements. You remains in the same post till Jesus come. A little bit better now. Is it their fault ?

SOME TIPS ABOUT LIVING IN UK

I’ll like to prepare your mind as a married man that when you get to UK,there’s higher chance for you to baby sit, ook, dishes, change pampers, get the kids set for school, etc. It’s better to get yourself acquainted with this ahead.

This is not to ridicule your personality, they are things you might need to do to keep the family running. And as the wife, have it in mind that you might not get to live that luxury life of “my husband is responsible for family upkeep”nah. Living in UK, you are meant to complement each other in every aspect.

Accommodation in UK isn’t a joke, if you are single, I advice you to look for single room en-suite or studio, furnished, all bills inclusive. Renting two bed apartment if it’s just you isn’t advisable. Check Spareroom,on the market, zoopla, Rightmove or Facebook market for rooms to let.

Pending the time you’ll be able to buy your desired item(s),check out Facebook market for cheap or free preloved/new items such as;furnitures,mattresses, beddings, kitchen utensils and the likes (I got my microwave on Facebook market for £10 and it’s as good as new).

However, be careful so as not to be scammed,I advice you do pay on delivery/pickup. Register with Olio aswell for free items(both new and preloved) including foodstuffs within and outside your area.

You might not be able to open standard bank until few months later, you can register with online bank like Monzo or Revolut to carry out your transactions, it’s easy & safe to use. Also, register with Lemonade if you want to change £ to #, easy to use as well with no charges apply.

Coming across different people with different cultural backgrounds, it’s advisable to ask individual what and how they would like to be addressed. Don’t make assumptions, people get offended if they are addressed wrongly.

Be time conscious, if you are to resume work by 19:00 to relief others, ensure you arrive few minutes earlier. The person you are to relief at work also has childminder or husband at home to relief for work as well.

Don’t try to force or change your accent while communicating. The more you change or force British accent the more you make communication difficult for everyone. Speak gently and clearly, believe me, they will hear you more than faking British accent. And if you can’t hear them, in a polite way ask them to speak slowly and gently so you can understand & they would be glad to do so.

Job wise, don’t be selective at first, get yourself something legit doing, all jobs here are stressful, at least you’ll be able to update your CV for future sake. I hope you get what I mean.

Let the words “PLEASE AND THANK YOU” be your favourite quotes daily, it goes a long way and they might pave way for you.

Don’t engage in gossips, they don’t keep secret here, whatever you say will be used against you later on.

If you have BRITISH HEART FOUNDATION store around you, they sell nice stuffs as low as £1, pop in there and minimise your spending.

Stay tuned for next post.

I don't get these UK people. They are the ones to create YouTube channels, blogs and what have you after leaving Nigeria. It's like UK is synonymous with ofofo or tatafo

I have my WhatsApp status blowing up everytime from so many of them with funky ass titles, like 'How to get to UK without POF' , "How to pay your school fees with 20hrs of work', How to...."smack their faces"... Just zip it.


I'm tired of UK people. Shuuuuu

crows2ravens:
Do you know that in the UK, with your minimum wage (which is everyone gets at least) you can afford decent accommodation, good food, some good clothes and nice shoes, a small latest model car (like 2023 model), and travel to other countries once a year or two?
Life is a lot better in UK!

If you traveling with a teenage boy, watch him closely.

Hmmmmm this is deep....... Can you elaborate please

You are dreaming with Tinubu narrative. Pounds may get to #1200 under his watch

Well, may God help us o. We have suffered too much in the hands if Buhari. We can't afford to suffer again.

babaowambe:

Mr says he knows a lot of people there.
It is mind-boggling how people who have never stepped foot in a country start advising those that live there.

It's his ilk that relocate and start saying, "I was advised wrongly, I thought it was all rosy. "

Carcholce:
There’s no comfortability in Nigeria. Even if you have plenty money, the imaginary comfort ends inside your house.

Why do you people lie unprovoked? Well, it's normal to assume this about countries you've Never been to. I pray you get a passport, ho there and witness things yourself. If not for inferiority complex killing Nigerians

Living in UK? For what?

Ishilove:
All these with minimum wage??

LoL. I saw crows2ravens post and I laugh too. Maybe he doesn't know most Nigerians here earn less than £2500. Before you pay your utilities, and housing billsw, this Money is gone. Not forgetting that you'll eat. Except the securities of life (bad things also happen here but they get solved unlike Nigerians which crime tarry for long),the quality of life I was actually living in Nigeria was far better than this UK. But I'm here already, shame no go catch us. Peace

Ikemba007:
So, no be only me dey wonder sef? For a graduate to go and be washing car in another man's country.

Some will sell all their landed properties to go and be living in a single room and doing odd job.

It is desperation and peer pressure. The pressure mounted on Nigerians last year by these people abroad no be here. At least in my own case, it was peer pressure.

GIDIBANKZ:
Abeg o…. If i wor come UK come hustle, which kind UK visa i qo apply for??

Hustle visa

Uk is overcrowded!

Think outside the box! Don’t follow the crowd!

Don’t use you qualifications to go wipe asses!

Australia is wide opened but few looking into it!


Canada welcoming immigrants with no jobs to offer! Don’t use your degree to become a Uber driver all because you want to be in Canada. Canada is good, but competition is high.

Nice heads up. Who no go no go know!!

Besides, you can be kidnapped anytime and all you claimed you have will be gone for ransom. If you have the opportunity... RUN OOOO

In the UK, one depressed teenager can easy shoot you

Everyone wan japa, take nice pictures during winter and post back to folks still in Nigeria while going through hell. I will pass.

No place like Nigeria in the whole world. Just have little change. Comfortability exists more in Nigeria than anywhere in the world.
