YoshihideSuga:inflation that has affected the cost of labour, building materials etc. As a rule of thumb, most people who put houses up for sale usu do so from a dire need of money. Cash is king and whomever has it has great leverage. Lands on the other hand are usu mostly sold out of convenience, meaning someone may want to sell a land and hold out for even two years until they get close to the kind of deal they want, but when people put houses up for sale (and I'm not talking about developers or the wealthy) they usually can't hold out for very long. A 3-bed house that is ten years old was likely built for less than 5m and the owner knows that. Whatever would befall the owner and he resorts to putting that house for sale, be rest assured he would be willing to sell close to the amount he spent building it, depending on the direness of his/her situation. Long story short, most times when houses are put up for sale it is usu for dire financial reasons and so the person is not in a strong position to negotiate a great deal. The other party with money is, and compared to the cost of buying land and building from scratch at the prevailing costs and rates, buying has been shown to be far far cheaper, up to 50-100% cheaper depending on the specifics of the deal. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

The shit packing is more valuable than doing some good office job in Nigeria and can't save a kobo! The person packing shit abroad has a much higher purchasing power that the bank manager in Nigeria. Abd we all know how many even get to the managerial position at a bank. Most are just tellers and marketers. flokii: 4 Likes |

Experiences are different for every one. My husband is on his 2nd job since we got here in September and he is schooling. We also got a house in 2 weeks by favour. I also just got a contract job and I will be resuming on Monday. We did not pay a dime in school fees till now and no threats. School has accepted for us to pay any money we have monthly. The difference is that we have relied on God. Our children have also started school. We do have some bad days, but God has been faithful. Try and network too. A Nigerian helped us in getting a house that allowed us to move in before paying rent couple of days after. The owner of the house is also African and he only took one moth rent and deposit. This journey needs God and faith. Pray to God and have faith! Yes we fullclub: 25 Likes 2 Shares |

flokii: You are saying what you have no idea about. You know how many Naija youths in professional industries? Even before most of them finish MSc they are already employed. We do menial jobs as students to see us through our education and after that we go for our dream jobs. It’s funny how citizens from other countries better than Nigeria (China, Korea, Spain, Italy) all come to Uk for hustle and we in our shithole want to use pride to do things. 8 Likes |

Ekpekus: Correct. The amount required for POF isn’t something Immigration pulls out of thin air—it’s the minimum amount needed to support yourself and survive should you not find employment. They let it be known up front how much a person needs in order to avoid suffering and in case they can’t find a job. When people present fraudulent documents, they feel like they are cheating the system but they’re only cheating themselves. Going to a new country without the required amount of funds hoping to be lucky enough to land a job to cover all the necessary expenses is a gamble. I don’t understand why when someone chooses to gamble and loses, they are surprised or even upset. Countries employ their brightest to make and enforce immigration rules but some people really think that they’re smarter and know better than those people. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Thewritingnerd: Was it not worse for Britain a few centuries ago when the monarch was absolute like they are in the Middle East? Everytime masses this and that, let masses breathe abeg. Yes there are a few bigots here and there BUT the bulk of the masses made a resounding choice this last election but it was stolen from them! What last election? The one for your local government councillor, or the one for your local government chairman? Or you are talking about the election of your state lawmaker? Or the election of your governor? Maybe the election of your senator or representative? If you are talking about the election of Tinubu as president, he won fair and square and he will win again if PDP presents a divided house, especially with pretentious Obi standing with the communists in LP. By the way, when Britons talk about election, do they limit themselves to the PM, who is elected indirectly by the MPs? Are they so myopic and narrow minded parochial people? 7 Likes 2 Shares |
