Business is not even easy to do in Nigeria. If you require light just forget it. Diesel will consume your profits. Anyone with money should move.

DeeBaDan:

brotherly, as humans what we consider as suffering is not static. It changes over time with different circumstances. Right now living in naija suffering to you is no light and bad roads and no jobs and bad infrastructure. You want to japa to enjoy those things. After you japa, after a few years your idea of suffering changes to water bills, light bills, council tax, heavy taxation, bad weather, tiny apartment, crazy car insurance price, racism, not feeling like you belong, inability to save anything because of heavy billing etc etc. Then you stArt missing the simplicity of home with no bills. You generate your own water and light and houSe is paid for and no council tax, and buka food everywhere and everybody looks like you and you feel like you belong etc etc. All the things you used to complain about seem like no big deal anymore aka bad roads and light issue. You are missing home but now you are stuck in London forever because you can never eArn enough to relocate back home again because of heavy billing unless you are just one of the lucky few who is like an IT guru earning good money. And so depression sets in . That's the life of the average Londoner . Stuck. Can't move back and can't move forward .

guobe:

Rostikol:


Very well said.

They don’t even know that at some point they will start to miss those Naija bad roads and even their gen. It would seem like a totally inconsequential thing compared to the challenges they are facing in that UK. I had the same experience.

DeeBaDan:




Wait a minute. You said you're abroad. And why are you madd at someone telling people to move for greener pastures. I'm confused. Is UK not favoring you?

guobe:
UK Japa is not what most people that have travelled to UK were expecting.Things are really tough for most Nigerians in UK.some of them that passed through the student route have to cough out several millions of naira to pay the school fees and will have to work extra hard to achieve this.you see them crying in the night that God please help me through.
Most goods and services have gone up times 5 in UK and with the recent increase in the interest rate over there it seems there won't be a breather yet.
On the flip side most Nigerians that migrated are doing it for their kids future and we hope things get better with time.

They way people just condemned UK makes me wonder if it’s the same UK that i’m living in they are talking about. Most students from Nigeria come to the UK having paid just a small portion of their tuition fee as deposit hoping to work and paying the balance while studying which is almost impossible. It is normal for people like that to struggle because I don’t know how somebody who’s on a student visa with 20hrs allowed work time wants to make money to pay tuition fee balance of £9000 within 9 months. But if you have paid your full tuition fee or 80%, I don’t see any reason why your life should not be better than it was when you are in Nigeria after graduation.

Let say you are earning £500 weekly after tax, that’s £2000 every 4 weeks. Assuming your bills is as follows:

2 bedroom house rent £550
Energy £150
Council Tax £100
Water £20
Internet £25
Car Finance £200
Car Insurance £100
Fuelling £100
Feeding £250
Other expenses £100

You will still have about £400 as saving every month which in my opinion is better than earning one million naira before tax in Nigeria considering traffic, lack of constant electricity, poor health care, terrrible educational system etc.
