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.

U in University of Salford.. I finished from there in 2016.. let me share my experience.. perhaps UK has cast now cos I have heard many people complaining about lack of jobs now in the UK. When I was there.. I had 4 jobs (Manchester United stadium as a kiosk assistant), worked for Arch hospitality in Manchester city stadium as a team leader, event steward for G4S where we go in and out of Manchester to provide security for events.. intact we went to Scotland few times for matches etc. The fourth job was an Inventory Assistant for RGIS.. we count and audit stocks inventory in retail stores such as Tesco, Aldi and Lidl.

I stayed in UK for 15 months studying at Salford and working well above 40 hours per week (VERY RISKY). I paid my full rent, feeding and other expenses from my salary. Thank God my dad handled school fees. While leaving the place I brought around 5000 pounds back to Nigeria cos at that time, there was no post study Visa.

State his name on an anonymous forum. How old are you?

10?

Did he commit a crime? Is he a wanted man? If you're posting with such an earnestness, giving people life altering advice on the basis of experience, the least you can do is give a real identity so we can assess credibility.

OK, he's anonymous, do you believe him?

Good Luck to all.

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

Don't give up man. Where there is a will, there is a way.
Keep trying all valid options.

Do not bother about the countless negative comments you will come across, so many mentally imbalanced people on here.

Honestly, regardless of one's wealth in Nigeria, experiencing that stuff was surreal for me. Living in a place where electricity does not blink and things work as planned. I can understand how you felt. I felt somehow as if these people were from outer space. How could they build such a functioning society where everything works?

What is light and water compare to very serious issues of Life! Please don't be stupid!
I have always had 24/ 7 water in my parents house and there is always light in the evening from generators! My parents were not rich, just normal professionals!
After I became an adult, it's been 20 years, and I have never lack water 24/7, and with recent developments in solar energy, I have been off-grid for 6 years, generating light 24/7, in Nigeria!
Why should u travel because of these things?

You are not an average Nigerian. When I was serving, my parents were telling me how they had to run generators daily because there was no electricity throughout that year. Just because you enjoyed those amenities, which are basic and should be readily available via government infrastructure, many Nigerians do not. So, when these people move to developed countries, it is surreal because they have never experienced it in their lives. BTW, I mentioned electricity. I have not mentioned security, efficient public transport system and general rule of law.

Even the CEO of Sterling - Suleiman - once complained about the power situation by posting a picture of his massive generator. Omotola once posted about how living in the US for a year changed her perspective on life, especially regarding how systems work. Is Omotola poor?

The problem with some of una be say when una don get am, you care less whether others have gotten theirs. Electricity availability is a basic need for human existence.

instead to go Kenya or Gambia e no better to remain naija.. cape Verde kwa an island for that matter except u wan go do business there..

Yes, you are right, but for me, I would like to go live in Cape Verde or Gambia to run a beach or cafe bar.

I have a British passport, was born in England i will be relocating from England to these african countries. £35k or £40k would buy me a fine beach house, bar or cafe in these countries.

Making it in life ANYWHERE is about your state of mind and the information you have. I personally know 3 people who moved this September with MULTIPLE job offers. Not one job, not them say, I’m talking from personal experience.

When they sell you a juicy offer in remote parts of England and you decide to go and live in God knows where, there’s a reason those places have limited population. Jobs are easier in and around London, rent is higher but you get to earn a living!

None of these people got jobs through INDEED! I’ve lived in the UK for close to a decade, I haven’t secured a job on that site, stop wasting your time.

Again, the information you have will save or sink you, there’s a way to apply for jobs here, there’s a way to tailor cvs here, there’s a type of cv and buzzwords for specific roles. You can’t apply for 200 jobs already, it means your application is a joke! I work closely with recruitment and I see applications like that all the time. Again, stop wasting time.

Apart from recruitment agencies, one of these 3 people I know, secured TWO great jobs directly from the companies and no, it’s not care work.

Stop jumping on every thread and spewing from a place of insecurity and limited knowledge. You only just got here and you don’t sound like you know what you are doing, sorry. Life is per head, destiny is per head, luck is not universal.

The money you scream about, people make it here and much more. Someone has paid two fee instalments since getting here in September, wake up and go find information.

I sincerely hope not everyone is swayed by your endless rants. You’ve only been here for months. SIT UP AND LEARN

Which city are you and your dependant? it is always like that but once you get one job it will start flowing. kindly reply so if there is anyway I could refer you to an agent for urgent jobs. Me too went through such difficulty for two months no work. It all over now everywhere is getting softer and softer. Na small small.

tensazangetsu20:


Lol that's the truth except you can go with a dependent that can work full time and it wasn't always 25 million. As of even 2020. 9 million could do a full masters.

u dey call 9 million like 90 k or even 900k

fullclub:

Spend time to read and understand. Don't be lazy to comprehend. Am sorry to say this.
I meant 15 million while 15 million was borrowed and the loan repaid.

When are you coming back to Nigeria?

fullclub:


how many Nigerians can even afford full fees. we are talking between 18 to 25m. i have to sell properties to raise this sum.

after payment of fees you still need about 6m to apply for visa n health insurance and alo flight... even fact keep 35m.

This is getting closer to a billion naira ooo

That's not the case all the time . Just moved to the UK and my landlord takes his rent monthly. There was no need for even a guarantor, though I had one just in case . So it all depends on grace . Moving to the UK is a decision you won't regret in a long time . Also got a job in my fist 2 weeks here .

fullclub:



i repeat stop sounding official.

about 98% of Nigerians who travel through school don't have this fee.

those who went last year and upper year... like 3 contact i have. how they were able to navigate.
they talked about pof and how they navigate.

and many of them are assuring others to take this deadly steps for few gains

enticing Nigerians..


this post is to tell others my experience here for the past one month.
it has been a bitter experience

i am warning those who don't have the complete fees.. please i beg u don't enter one chance.
even if u raise the 25 m please have extra

The cheapest uk uni fee is 15m... the least.. the average is 20m.
10k pounds time 1500 is 15m... and they are few and competitive . others falls between 14 to 17k pounds. the uk government allow uni to double fees from abroad student. if home pays 7k.. foreign pay 14 or 17k

with 25 millions even with this Tinubu inflation I be millionaire for Nigeria. With 10 million naira my business will blossom into the next level.

Skyview01:


You made that claim my friend. Now, give us one name for that country that you can relocate and live comfortably with 15k.

Germany and Austria are two countries you can run with 15k EUR and u will be totally fine in the first year as a single person

Italy and Portugal are another two countries

But you will have to learn a new language.

Once you have your cash in blocked account that is actually yours lol; even if u don't get a job in 6 months; you will still be kicking

There are a few others too; but like I said; most Nigerians will rather not do the research and want easy and sharp sharp

landlord are refusing to give out their houses to student.. especially to family couples.
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.

The Truth is that if I have that money you wasted there, I will invest it in a business and live like a king here. What's the point of wasting all those monies and ended up suffering in no man's land?

theamazonguru:

Not true.

Location matters.

I bought one of my lands in 2018 at 3.2m with documentations and all I spent close to 4m.
As we speak, just 5 years after the land is worth 20m now.

I won't argue with you on the subject of depreciation but I will reiterate the importance of getting your property in a nice location, not in one remote bush in Ilaro.

i mean naira devaluation and inflation has reduced the value of the property in real time.

Yes, you are correct, you don't see a Lebanese wasting £40k to run to Europe and for work just to do cleaning jobs, care jobs and other menial manual jobs. They would use that money to open a fruit machine (gambling) shop or a bar, i have never come across a Labanese doing menial jobs in my whole life in England what they do is own corner shops where they sell vegetables, fast foods or sweets and ciggarettes. They are also the best con artists on earth, difference is they do it smoothly, quietly and legally.
