From my post I actually wished them well. Just stating the obvious fact. And for your information I am not contesting with anybody for who is richer.

Diasporans are wonderful people. I encourage them to live their lives in abroad and should not bother coming home. Just send money constantly to your parents and siblings.

For those diasporans with residency and mortgage/rent issues please pm so we can buy off your properties in Nigeria and send you money to pay your oversea bills there. Life is tough but you are tougher.ah guy you harsh o

In essence, dey your dey, we no want you here.

Because of the extreme poverty in our land, we see life as a toy. When people see developed nations, all they see are the nice buildings and good amenities. They fail to recognize the hard work input it took to create such environment.

Then they migrate thinking it is going to be rosy. Reality dawns on them that citizens of such great countries are "nickled and dimed" to maintain the aesthetics of the cities unlike Nigeria where taxes can as well be discretionary.

There are extreme poverty everywhere. Work on yourself and you will be ok. Just don't be stagnant or think you can pray, fast or worst beg yourself out of poverty.

When are you coming back to Nigeria 🤠
So you can enjoy with us
Everything is free here, in fact we barely go out to work, there are free restaurants for daily 3 square meals, there is even a free spar, gym and free money shared here on daily basis.
You will love it here please come home 🥰

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.

The best way to relocate to the UK is through the Tier 2 Visa (Skilled Workers’ Visa). Anything else and you’re jonzing. Even if you go through the student route, try as much as you can to switch to the Skilled Workers’ Visa if you are lucky to get a COS (certificate of sponsorship).

By the way, OP, you are very dumb. I know people in the UK doing very well. Can you guys just take a rest with this “anti-japa strategy”? Different strokes for different folks. That it didn’t work for you or that you are hopeless there doesn’t mean it’s same for others. You don’t realize that all people want is sanity. Money is secondary.

thats just the plain truth.our Government should fix this country and make it conduceive because alot of Nigerians will like to relocate back if things are working well over here

Lol, nah that generator wey you mention make me quote you bro. My paddy for Uk mentioned it yesterday! He sold his car and a couple things, then enter Uk on a student visa..

Bills:
House rent
Light
Utilities
Tv watch
Etc
He pays 700 pounds, around 600k for house rent monthly! (He stays in Brentford). When him calculate everything he spend on bills in a month altogether, the thing pass 1m!

He has started one carefree job! Now he has started learning barbing last week lol. Person wey Dey chop 4 star life for Ajah o!

Now he’s planning on coming back home! He said fccck the school . I Dey come naija joor! Make I Dey use my generator dey go

He’s working. The money can’t even pay all bills. What the excess? It’s like working for nothing cuz at the end of the day, you won’t be able to save!

Things like these are part of what do break marriages in UK! Couples wey Dey enjoy their life for naija without frustration, enter uk, only to be working off their ass bills and nothing! Frustration sets in, things changes!

That shiit hurts my soul when I hear about it. It’s the height of stupidity.

Trade your asset for an unknown future? You could have just sold the house in Nigeria and start a good business.

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 .

Observer25:


But he is a student on a student visa. Students in US etc also work to sort bills. For US studies, you can only legally work on campus unlike UK. We seem to have such a high expectation for student visas. Its not a work visa. It only gets better from here. He should sit tight. At least, he even has job to pay the bills and still complaining.

Wisdom has one destination.

A sage in the deep forest of Asia will reach the same conclusions on different topics as one in the mountainous forest of Enugu. The flavor of their knowledge might be different, but the conclusions always resemble themselves.

If you study the works of philosophers, scientists, religion, stoics, etc, you will see that they are all saying the same thing, just in different ways.

If Buddha says ¨Life is suffering¨, the philosophers (eg Nietsczhe will say ¨To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering´´.

Christians would say that this world is not your home, it's filled with suffering, but in heaven, there is no suffering. Then the stoics (eg Marcus Aurelius) will say that you must see suffering from a neutral standpoint, and expect it say the way you expect joy.


If one has natural wisdom as a person, then most likely, your thought will resonate with most of what I write here.
