justwise:


You got the visa because you presented bank statement showing that you have all your school fees and maintenance money.

So where is that money?
Some runs in banks arrange that owo to sit in your account for the period necessary with interest.
A "post no debit" is placed on the account.

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.

edited with more info.
a friend of mine also travelled to the UK some months ago for schooling, he said he spent close to 9 million for everything, he's in Liverpool, has settled down, shuttling between two jobs and schooling, has even recouped some of his money and is fighting tooth and nail to bring his woman over their before this year runs out to beat the deadline of students bringing family members over that the UK government will implement by next year, the only hindrance he has now is the current high exchange rate and he said the authorities are now monitoring the number of hours students work so he had to let go one of his jobs. And we spoke again just yesterday, so what are trying to tell us?🙄 Is your own japa different?

If you're a writer at least by now you know Upwork and LinkedIn.

You're already in the UK great advantage why are you not writing and making the dough.

Maybe you didn't think about it like that UK and USA account get gigs quicker while with Nigeria account it's your skillset.

People who knows how to write don't look for Jobs, na jobs dey pursue them. that's an aside sha.

Don't relent at least you don come you done come.

Get into SEO signals lab and website flip facebook group introduce yourself and say you're a writer.

Don't go and do it because you're desperate for funds ooh.

and if truly you can write Money go dey purse you.

I no dey talk make e sweet ooo i practice anything I preach.
@fullclub this is the truth. Many of us are in Nigeria and earning in $$$ and £££ because we have the right skills. If I had a UK account, I can only imagine what I will achieve. I reject jobs sef and you are there struggling to find job. Ask 1sharon to advice you, she is based there and I believe she can give you good advice.

So, when are you booking your next flight back to our beloved Nigeria?

Lol. Even if he is dying of hunger in the UK, he will never dream of returning to Nigeria after escaping Fulani murderers from the Sahel region of West Africa who, in conjunction with operators of Nigeria's government, want to use government institutions and Nigeria's false democracy to convert Nigeria to an Islamic Republic.

I came in same time with you, even without a dependent and I already have two jobs. Already thinking of dropping one because of the hours.

Get your lazy ass to work man, you’re definitely doing something wrong…. And close down this thread.

yeah we have been going.
what i observed was the population.

you... you hardly see no Nigerians unlike Asians. in school you have to first count 50 Asians before you see a black man.

i observed that the British don't too fancy university degree so they are not much in school

You are most likely not in a top uni. Most of the foreigners choose MSc in just about any uni just to japa.
The British are doing well with just their BSc most times.

You talk like there's no hope when you've not exhausted all options on the table. I don't really believe in offline jobs. There are simple jobs you can do online and they only need you to be in the country. I've just given you options, go for them. If your status in the country is a problem, get someone to apply and get the job for you while you do the actual work.

and i have 12 months to complete a programme. i have over 9000 pounds to pay as school fees.

the 3000 dollars i came with is almost exhausted. on expenses trying to settle in

school on my neck

i have a friend in Middlesbrough whose school wants to throw out this month end if he didn't pay some percentage of fees by month end

Una dey take risk o. How do you come with an outstanding £9k to pay as fees. The dependant route for masters students is on hold for now. We know how to abuse everything. How would a student come with over 6 dependants. For jobs it’s not as easy as it was before. There is an influx of migrants to the UK now. Think well before japa to UK
Re: My Experience In UK Since I Japa:WARNING by EquityPadi: 1:50am On Nov 02, 2023
Baba! Have you tried fasting and prayers? For here you have plenty people to compete with, ordinary certificate or expertise no reach o! In fact BSC is like primary school leaving certificate here, as it were. You need favor. I came in to the UK on the 21st of September 2023. As I speak this is my second job. I had an interview today will be having 2 on Friday. I am a student dependant o! Not even on a skilled Visa routes.

Have had 3 interviews with the council(Local Govt) and I have been enrolled into the free business startup school and I could apply for £25,000 to pay in 5 years, my visa, as of today na one year o!

I got an accomodation from Nigeria, 480/month and my experience is sweet Baba.

Sincerely! It is not perfect here, as every other place but it is far better here. Please, don't be discouraged by stories, yours could be different. As my brother here is just passing through times, but e go sweet for am very soon by God's grace.

Just commit your ways into God's hand and do your own part(I did 4 professional certifications before leaving Naija + say I dey speak small programming languages) there will be trials, temptations, failures but with God e sure.

Favor is speaking in my life here, and I pray for you bro, God's favor will begin to speak for you

shut the Bleep up. Blah blah blah and yet here you are looking for caregiver job. Even nigerians in Nigeria are making $1500 per month working online some even making $5k + and the job is always there, you can never finish it.

Nigerians believe that the only solution to difficult times is running away. People that ran away since 1980s realized that it never got better.

So let's keep running. Like Amechi succinctly put it, "they'd rather commit suicide than fight back"

Hey man, don’t let anyone on a faceless platform bring your morale down.

Firstly, you have to acknowledge that you have gotten yourself in a difficult situation. Now is not the time to be feeling sorry for yourself. You need to act fast and now.

Draw up a plan, most importantly you need to pay your school fees. You have mentioned that you still have a business and a job bringing in 800£. I will suggest you channel 75% of that to pay up.

Sit your partner down and let them know it’s now or never. Whatever job available has to be grabbed. You don’t get to choose now.

Lastly, breathe. They have been many before you and there will be many more after you. Give it all it takes and don’t back down.

Rooting for you.
Good luck
