you cant have skills that are not in demand or no skills at all. Then be complaining about how hard it is. Getting a degree without relevant work experience wont also help much.

It depends because the medical field are in desperate need of people, so even with no experience, they are ready to hire. Other fields such as Accounting, Auditing, Tech & IT will not hire without experience most times. People with Data Science MSC without minimum 3 years work experience are struggling to get any job in the UK as companies are not willing to hire beginners at all.

Even the internship positions are so competitive. You have to be already in the field to get in because you're competing globally with Indians that have been doing Data Science from High School.

Hehehe.

We are experiencing worst over here,so my advice to anyone just like the person above me stated, if you have the means and resources to japa please Japa.

Most people over there even with the condition's mentioned above are still doing way better than people over here.
The insecurity in this country is enough to make you want to leave. You are not safe anywhere in this country.

Your life will be miserable like Nigeria if i am not igbo. But if i am igbo, the curse will be mine

This piece isn't aimed at discouraging anyone from relocating to the United Kingdom. The country has the 6th largest economy in the world and it offers massive economic opportunities for both the young and old. It is also beautiful and gives maximum exposure to people. But things are changing and they are changing rapidly. You need to be mentally prepared before you get ambushed by harsh reality. Keep the following factors in mind when trying to take the plunge.

(1) Limited job opportunities:
As a fresh immigrant, it takes the grace of God to crack the white-collar job circle. Even if you get white-collar jobs, most of them don't offer visa sponsorships. So, they can't guarantee you any desired visa extensions. To someone who wants to stay back in the UK after studying, what's the point? For the blue-collar sector which apparently admits every willing or unwilling human being available, the jobs are disappearing. You must have heard viral stories of people on healthcare visas not getting shifts. As if this isn't enough, job opportunities are drying up in the less desired warehouses where hard labour is rife. The warehouses constituted the last hope of the common man those days. If you are hoping to gather money to pay your school fees from hustling in the UK, you might need to have a rethink.

(2) 20hrs Work Limitation:
In recent times, there have been strong rumours of student visas being canceled by the Home Office, after the holders failed to stick to the 20-hour work restriction in a week. It is one of the most traumatic experiences an immigrant can face abroad. Imagine you are getting an email that your visa has been cancelled, while you are just settling in, with a huge debt hanging over your head. You might strongly consider detonating a Kim Jong Un-like bomb in your village to annihilate any witch/wizard that might be linked to your predicament.

(3) Housing Crisis:
The housing crisis in the UK is so severe that people now take their house-hunting activities to the NSPPD altar at 7 a.m. It is not just about the exorbitant prices alone, it is about the stiff competition you will face from other applicants. It is as competitive as applying for civil service jobs in Nigeria and India. These so-called accommodations come in the form of "poultry" due to the relatively small sizes. They also come with massive paperwork that could be cumbersome for a new immigrant to satisfy. This isn't the challenge an immigrant wants to face due to its overwhelming nature.

(4) High Cost Of Living:
Living costs constitute a global issue and it is highly multi-factorial in nature. Major cities in the UK like London, Manchester, Sheffield, Bristol, Birmingham, etc., have been hit by mass migration, thereby straining available public facilities. People with permanent jobs are feeling the heat not to talk of the casual workers living from one unassured shift to the other. For a man converting naira to pounds to cater for daily expenditure in the UK, the thoughts of running away, or committing suicide might be crossing his mind, at least 4 times in a day.


(5) Low Chances Of Staying Back:
The chances of international students staying back in the UK after schooling are getting slimmer than the popular Nollywood actress, Lepa Shandy by the day. Before you know it, your 2-year post-study period would have elapsed and you might have to return home. Before now, healthcare visas have come to the rescue. Today, the opportunities have been abused and the forces of demand and supply have also affected sponsorship opportunities in the healthcare line. If you think you can easily marry a citizen to stay back, you might have to buy some anti-depressants, as a backup plan.

In conclusion, the best way to easily scale through these hurdles, and weather the storm might be by owning one of President Tinubu's controversial bullion vans.

Abeg which side of uk are you, because all you said here is a big lie. Stop deceiving people

You guys should not mind this imposter, what I will only say is that your success in uk depends on your skills, discipline, and strength and the city you are residing, you can not be in a village in uk and want to get a job.

London, Birmingham, west Midland, Manchester, Edinburgh, etc are all good cities with plenty of job.

You can not just go to uk without any known skill and compare your survival with an engineer, a nurse or a doctor. Even skills like trailer mechanic, trailer driver, etc can give you work without wasting time.

There are other jobs like ware house job that are everywhere paying 10 pound per hour but lazy people will prefer to stay at home and be commenting rubbish.

Slave Trade is being criticized even though means of transportation was provided by the Whiteman. Now willing slaves have to pay their own way into slavery for the white man, just to see food chop and send food to their family.

Modern Slavery is shameful. Why not just beg the white man to come with a ship and load you with your families to go and work in their countries to earn a living.

Shame, shame, shame.

No matter what, UK will always be one of the best countries ever to migrate to. Still far better than majority of the countries in the world. Free food, modest shelter etc is still guaranteed for almost everyone no matter the influx of immigrants.


At least human rights and basic needs is guaranteed in UK, USA, Canada and Australia. That is y ppl will rather pitch tent in these first world countries at the slightest opportunity.
