Work hard and help yourself.Stop depending on other people's sweat.

BabaIbo:
I have a childhood friend there.

Both of us have been very good friends from day 1.
As the guy enter UK, na do the guy turn original aka gum.
Anyway, it was at the point of raising capital for my business, when I was contacting family and friends seeking for help, you know how it is when starting a new venture/business.
Some of those in Nigeria did it with ease, you see that UK own, na so so excuse the guy just dey give me before I vex leave am.
I even told him if I can send him money to help me get goods over there and send to Nigeria for me to sell it here.

That was how my dad's childhood friend whom they are supposed to travel out together before my dad decided to stay back because of ..., the man sent one wristwatch to my dad as gift, I look the watch come dey laff, well maybe it is the sender that replaced it sha.
Well, my dad helped him a lot even though he is outside the country and my dad is here.

So, na normal thing for them. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣


Maybe that was why I hated that country from the beginning. If not, I for don dey there teytey because the man once asked my dad to send his son but I told my dad I don't like that country.

You (and your Father too) have TERRIBLE ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY.

This Life, is What you make out of it.

Learn to Hustle without Depending on Friends and Siblings.🤨🙂

When you start Making Money, u will know how hard it is to Dash out money Indiscriminately.😒

Everyone has their Financial Problems.

E no easy abeg.

The number 1 reason is a very wicked one. No wonder they easily commit suicide, just because there's nobody to express their minds to. Everybody is just on their own. Too bad!

If you are in the habit of complaining people are stingy, it might be an indication that you are begging too much.

👍👍

Truth my brother over there sef cannot give me 100k if I ask

AllenSpencer:
Been that way since the 80’s

UK people are “NATURALLY” stingy!

Rumors even has it that, Peter Obi learnt it from there.

😂😂 😂 😂

Shedking:
Na their way.

She even add her photo 📸

For the kind of places when she talk against.

Maxxim:
Money no dey UK, everywhere tight and most of una dey go asake live concert, dey play

So people in Nigeria don't go to Asake concert. Which kain mumu talk be this. The summary of this thread is that Nigerians feel entitled to your income because you're living abroad forgetting you also have your own expenses you need to sort out. Nobody owes you sh.i.t

ZombiePUNISHER:


They should all come back home

Tinubu has turned Nigeria to El Dorado
People are actually rejecting jobs
Food is everywhere,
Naira is back and better
Only in your dreams

Ebola can't give what he doesn't have
National Assembly got 70b
state governors got 5b each
you will get sachets of Rice, garri , groundnut and 8k palliative...

I also heard that dollar to naira is now 300. Fuel 100 naira per liter. Wow Nigeria is good o. This is good news.

vengertime:
In my Local Government Area, nobody from the UK has broken the record by building a duplex.(upstairs)

Na always 3 bedroom portable bungalow

But that's the best because it's a retirement home for them. How many rooms will they sleep in? Moreso when you are old you don't even go upstairs. Meaning the duplex will be a waste.

I live here in Owerri but the people who know me very well will tell you I'm the stingiest person in Nigeria. UK people dey learn where I dey. I hardly give shishi. The only people I give are my immediate family. My father will tell whoever cares to listen that his second son is the greatest miser he has ever known and I like that description of me. Before my one naira drops and falls into someone's hands, a lot of things must have been considered. I work hard for my money, I'm no father Christmas.

remsonik:
Truth my brother over there sef cannot give me 100k if I ask

-Why don't you pick 100k off the street where you live instead of begging your "brother"? Or you think money grow on the trees where he lives?

remsonik:
Truth my brother over there sef cannot give me 100k if I ask

100K Just Like that?

If I were ur Brother, I will NOT give you Shishi. 😏😕

You have Hands and Legs, like that your Brother Abroad.😒

Hustle for that N100k here in Nigeria.

You can, OK?🙂

Let me start this piece with a common saying on social media. If you are in the habit of complaining people are stingy, it might be an indication that you are begging too much.
Well, much has been said about people in the United Kingdom being tight-fisted. To a large extent, I am of the opinion that this is true and could be attributed to some of the reasons explained below:

(1) Culture:
The United Kingdom just like most Western countries has embraced individualism. The system of every man for himself. In Africa, it is collectivism which simply means 'Let's do it as a family, let's grow together' You will hardly see the core Britons help each other financially. They will rather rely on credit facilities from banks, credit cards, and benefits to survive tough financial times. This is unlike Nigeria where 'billing' is almost cultural in the 21st century due to age-long systemic poverty.

(2) Littany of lies:
Some Nigerians are in the business of cooking up comprehensive and water-tight lies to extort money from their family members abroad. Personally, I have friends who have abandoned their WhatsApp accounts to avoid hearing countless touching stories from friends and acquaintances in Nigeria. To cope with the virus of lies, people in the UK have adopted a firewall to block all intrusions.

(3) Hustle is hard:
Life in the UK is historically difficult, and in recent times, things have gotten tougher for the 6th largest economy in the world due to the growing population, Brexit, COVID-19, and other issues. People work round the clock, under extreme weather conditions, to earn money and the cost of living is too high. As of 2020/2021, employees were chasing people for jobs. Two years later, the reserve is the case, even in the blue-collar jobs industry. So every penny counts. You don't want to make money only to play a Father Christmas to someone whose financial challenges might not be genuine.

(4) Taxes:
This topic doesn't require much explanation as this is a paramount issue in the UK. Any sort of comfort you enjoy in the country is taxed. It runs a service-based economy. I have seen people earn about £3,000 gross salary in a month and get a net pay of £2,300. Income tax, National Insurance, and pension deductions took about £750 which is more than the salary of a successful person in Nigeria. Rent, council tax, loan repayment, vehicle insurance, and others would further beat your take-home pay until it struggles to take you home in the end.

(5) Personality traits
Some people are naturally stingy. In fact, they even struggle to spend their own money on themselves. It appears they might be of the belief that the funds could be taken with them to the great beyond. I have a friend who has no record of helping anybody in the history of his life and he has no plan to turn a new leaf. People like these come to the UK and become hardened in the area of stinginess.

(6) People are broke:
If poverty in the world is being measured by raw cash and not access to food, the UK might be one of the poorest countries in Europe. Most people have to overwork, to the detriment of their health to make extra bucks. This is why some locals see the paper chase as a rat race and they prefer to stay unemployed and focus on benefits from the government. Furthermore, the housing crisis in the UK is real. As a family man, 70% of your monthly earnings easily go into accommodation costs. This makes life mentally stressful and frustrating.
Anyone looking from the outside is easily deceived by the glossy pictures, nice clothes, and lovely locations they see on social media. This set of people constitutes the 'God When Squad' - a popular faction in the Nigerian social media space.

Senseless post.

Stinginess is a personal thing. It has nothing to do with UK, America or any western world.

Would have made a little sense if you make it Nigerians in diaspora and not streamline it to UK cos all you wrote are applicable to most Nigerian living abroad.

You are my Brother in Mentality. 😎

According to Apostle Johnson Suleiman, Giving Pple Money, Encourages LAZINESS in them..🤨😒

Endless mass migration from the third world have destroyed the UK and turned it into an advanced shithole.

My people,if you are looking for nice countries to migrate to,if it not USA,Canada, Australia,Scandinavian countries,Japan,S.Korea,Israel,my brother park well here in Nigeria.I didn't include UK because,an average rich man here in Nigeria enjoys better life than many of his counterparts in the UK.If you love hard life,you can consider UK.

Vinnie2000:
100K Just Like that?

If I were ur Brother, I will NOT give you Shishi. 😏😕

You have Hands and Legs, like that your Brother Abroad.😒

Hustle for that N100k here in Nigeria.

You can, OK?🙂

I work here too and I understand there's global inflation around the world,he can't afford,I don't beg him for money. Everyone is struggling to live

Pierocash:
This is a country some people in Nigeria will sell their houses , cars , and borrow loan to migrate to. You see a multi millionaire here , doing well here migrate to UK after selling their properties, only to end up doing menial jobs to survive. No be juju be that

Only a dummy will sell their properties to migrate to the UK.

PDJT:
-Why don't you pick 100k off the street where you live instead of begging your "brother"? Or you think money grow on the trees where he lives?

Don't mind him and his Ilk here.

Entitled Mofos.

They have Hands, Legs and Brains but wants to Depend on Another's person's SWEAT! 😏🙁

-So they should come and build a duplex in your village whilst maintaining another property in the UK. So they can impress you abi? You see why corruption, greed and political armed robbery will remain a mainstay of the Nigerian society?

RaptorX:

Another lame post.

It will shock you to know that there are more Nigerians in America and Canada than they are in the UK.

And no matter how many people migrate, these western countries will always be a million years ahead of Nigeria.

Oga I work here too,don't beg him for money. There's global inflation around the world and everyone is struggling to survive this days.
Anytime he calls he will tell me how much beans and other Nigerian food are being sold over there now not as they buy it over there years back. I will help them get all the foodstuffs here,make ogi and send for him

jesmond3945:
people migrate because of their kids and is worth it in the end.

That is just a consolation when they discovered the abroad is not as rosy as they thought

Pierocash:

You people keep making ignorant posts back to back.

If you sell your properties for 50 million to come to UK with full rights to work, you have made a wise decision cos you will make that money back in less than 3 years working in the UK especially if you have a wife to join forces with.
