average man go use 50millon naira go learn business management for UK. Lol
it is madness, isn't it? Maybe 50 million naira isn't a lot in Naigeria. Isn't that like £50000? that is a lot of money.

Men don't come back to Naija without a solid plan. The news I hear from Nigeria is something else. You should have gone to another country. That 13 million will pay fees and living expenses in another country and you won't be stressed.

Hmmm! Even with this, given opportunity, I will still japa. It's not easy bring a Nigerian and living in Nigeria.

I wish you well.
I wish you the good thing that you wish yourself.

Please ensure you are well prepared to embark on that journey if you must Japa,
so you don't end up opening a thread here to warn others not to come to the UK, just as the Op Is doing.

God bless you sir. I owe you a bottle of palm wine for this. It is nearly 8 years since I published a post here on Nairaland on why it is necessary for people to acquire practical skills. It is obvious the OP is totally skill-less. Tayo Aina the travel vlogger interviewed a Nigerian car electrician who now owns a massive repair shop in South Africa. His story is an eye-opener. Made 60 rands the very first day after he landed. He did not even have a place to sleep.

We don talk talk talk, still they won't here. Japa requires strategic planning. I can't even understand how someone with access to N30m is thinking of leaving the country. To do what really?
30mllion na to die for Naija ooh I am not going anywhere

my dream was that immediately I came over, i and my dependant will search for jobs.. work and pay bill. but that is not feasible as I am seeing it.

i started this process with 15 million naira then when naira nose dive i had to borrowed extra 15 million to top it with interest of almost 2 million naira. landed in uk, started seeing the reality on ground

i have been in UK since 1 month plus. but getting a job as a migrant or new commer without UK experience is not easy.
in fact i have sent over 200 job application for cleaner, care assistant etc but all came with a sorry we have moved on to the next stage or you don't have uk experience.

school fees has to be paid. everyone here in tight corner... school has sent mail threatening to report to the immigration if school fees is not paid in the next few weeks to most Nigerians here.

no job, house rent is expensive.. going for 450 to 600 pounds per month.

travelling through student route is not really easy because you have to balance between work and school.. 'even at that where is the job as a new migrant.

Please if you are considering coming to UK for now.. please put on hold. the crowd from Indians, Pakistani, Malaysia, china etc is overwhelming.

it's not worth selling your home to be here.

i sleep in indeed and all this job site.. still yet nothing, bills mounting up.

all my colleague i came with are still with no jobs in other cities

after spending 13 million coming here with extra 3k dollars now almost exhausted chai


if u know you don't have full school fees, house rent for 12 months, upkeep.... running to 35m to 40m please stay back... stay back or apply through skill route.

We all know the answer to that question.

Don't tell people not to come to the UK because according to you ...Indians, Pakistani, Malaysia, china etc is overwhelming...

Tell them to come with that money they showed the embassy and the university before getting CAS and visa

If you have that money you will be focusing on your studies now and not job and how to pay remaining fees.
Is job not the primary reason all of them are japaying? Study my ass

The guy is a comedian.

Complaining it cost him 35million to travel. Whose fault, is Rishi Sunak responsible for the exchange rate?

Landlord's are requesting for 6 months upfront or guarantor..and a guy that has no job is complaining. If he was in their shoes would he give it to someone in his situation without added safety to guaranteed their income.
Someone guaranteed for me when I came in, I also guarantee for a number of people who came in when I settled in. Rather than look for someone to guarantee for him, he came to make noise online
which work do you currently do now, guarantor?

you know what.. giving honest opinion based on abroad is not welcome by Nigerians.

this is why most students when i talk about returning they said they rather die here sleeping in library.

we where 19 people September in Lagos airport coming to London on student route and we shared contact... they are on same boat...no show... non paid their complete fees.. i would have come back but hearing their complain about shame of what Nigerians not hearing their storey.

check the students page ane see people saying they have paid deposit. why didn't they pay full?

Never sell your land. There is no shame in returning and strategizing.
Try your best and if its not working. Return back with your family.

Sorry about what you are going through. Truthfully, it is not easy moving to a foreign land and settling in. However, I’d advise that you move to a shared apartment. That way you’ll pay less for accommodation. Secondly, while job hunting, register with Agencies as well. There are Agencies around that give shifts to students. Also, network with fellow Nigerians. There are lots of jobs available out there but just not on Indeed. Also walk into these places to apply directly. It works almost all the time.

So where is that money?

they require you to make 6 months upfront or come with a uk guarantor
this is my observation
imagine paying 5m for house rent after spending all your money in nigeria.

O P,I like your write up,very genuine to the heart but they reason along with you?
Somebody once told me a long time ago ,that if you have been to EU,Canada,etc for a long time, things were easy then but since the Ukraine/ Russian War,the Whites Londoners Employers will first consider - the Indians,the Ukrainians,the Chinese ,etc, before any Blacks in Jobs Scale of Preferences!
