I will broaden your mind this last time.

In the states YES your child becomes an automatic citizen BUT IT ENDS THERE.

UNTIL THAT CHILD IS 21,THE PARENTS CAN NEVER BECOME CITIZEN from his birth.

In the UK once a child is 7years,the child as well as the parents automatically get legal residence status.


As for the salary you mentioned then it is obvious that you overlooked the point I raised.

The cost of living in the states will still take a chunk of that money and at the end, the nurse making less in UK will have far more savings than the nurse in the states making higher salary.

For the accommodation I can tell you for a fact that it is far more affordable in UK. This is a fact.

All the points I wrote are facts.

The people complaining about UK are either illegal with no right to work or the uneducated ones who lack the capacity to improve their skills.

UK is not a country for layabouts or those who choose to remain redundant.

You must do courses to be eligible for many high paying jobs in the UK and i have a friend who chose to remain in Germany doing cleaning jobs and this same guy left a security job opportunity in UK because he simply can't write the course to qualify for it.

I see many people write ignorantly from the comfort of thier rooms about a country they have never stayed as a legal resident and I laugh.

UK is about the best country you can live in the world with fantastic quality of life.

Have you ever asked yourself why those ediots complaining about UK refuse to come back home?
You just contradicted yourself. You talked about life being better for those with legal residency and then went on to talk about legal residence through a child.
Did you even know that as a permanent resident through any means in the US, especially through family, it takes less than 5 years to become a citizen?

What contradiction?

I listed valid points. How Is that contradictory

I also made mention that Asides marriage which makes it easy to get legal status in the states, UK has more options.

You guys should try reading to comprehend and not reading to respond.

What is this one saying? Can't you be civil and pass your thoughts without condescending yourself with agbero talk? Make your point like a matured person
I take responsibility. but on the other hand every body has that innermost subconscious that advises us. You know what to do. You only brought it to NAIRALAND to seek for validation. Search yourself. God bless.

Those points are not valid.
Marriage is not the only option in US. There are a lot of family based options.
Have heard of DECA program?

There was no where I mentioned that marriage is the only option. I only write that UK has more options and very very easy too.

I think I will stop responding to mentions on this matter.

An elderly family friend that often frequent between UK and US for her grown daughters” Omu gwo described UK apartments like this, “ their houses can’t even contain only my legs”. Those spaces you call apartments in Uk are more like storages or pantry in the US.
There is absolutely no comparison between UK and the US in terms ease of life for immigrants.

US is structured to accept people from outside the country and for them to seek and achieve their dreams. This is why they even have a class of people called Dreamers.
There are so many Nigerians that have left the UK to come live in US but the reverse is not common.

Uk life is “ managing “, in the US even the lowest paid workers can afford to own and maintain a private car for comfort, unlike jumping public buses in the UK. Believe it or not, the US is a country flowing with milk and honey . Lots of opportunities.

My brother, honestly speaking what gain will I find in validation from fellow nairalanders.Its because am confused that's why I sincerely asked the question.I won't hold anyone responsible if I take their counsel.

If you really have a rich experience plsss do share your thoughts and you never can tell what help your thoughts can give.

Sorry I said the agbero talk thing.

I really love the girl but a part of me don't want her to go before I regret may be I acted out emotional.

Why would she ask me what's my Japa plans? And why would she hold the relationship on a pause? Am just trying the reconcile the two different situation.

I will appreciate your response.God bless you my brother

But right now from your post it shows you are worried so I l advise you follow your manly guts. You as a man on the other hand. Brush up your skills confident business work hustle groom position yourself well the right lady would come for you

Ever since I was a child, for some weird reason I have always disliked UK

Like if I'm given Free Visa to UK
I will not go 1000% serious

And even if I must go, once I enter London
After 10 minutes I will go back to Airport

To me, UK has a gloomy dark vibe that I can't really explain.
Maybe in my past life I was involved with an event in UK, which made me dislike that place..

Just the thought of me going to UK
Gives me Anxiety... I just can't explain whyhuh

I rather go to Japan, South Korea than UK angry
There’s a famous saying by Samuel Johnson - ‘when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life’. If you go London and you feel like running back home, then you have bigger problems in life.

Probably Mexicans, and other nationals that looks like white.

Stop capping, before a pure white will look at a black man, it means you are celebrity or top earners in the USA.
Are you okay? I have never talked to a kokoye - Mexican in my life except those cleaners in my office. I only do whites. I have done black before but the young ones among the black sometimes want to bill you. Whites are the easiest to do. If you want evidence private chat me.

And whose fault is that since the women typically don’t propose? I mean yall want traditional women right? So they wait for you to propose because that’s the expectation. no?. They are in these relationships with the understanding that it’s leading to marriage based on what has been said between them and the men. Meanwhile these men know deep down they are only there to waste the ladies’ time.

How is this not an indictment on men instead of women?

Won’t you people still be the ones to raise your fingers and start doing body count when the women leave relationships they don’t think is heading anywhere serious?

I really dislike when you guys pretend like you mean well but deep down you know you’re being disingenuous. Because there’s no option she chooses out of all that you guys have presented to her that will be good enough for you. She’ll always be at fault just for existing as a woman

Pls 😒

It is open for interpretation. You can take it whichever way you want. Make out time to visit hospitals and you will notice the prevalence of fibroid surgery among women in their 30s. Don't add to the statistics. You have no business hanging with any man who shows no seriousness and marital plans after 1 year of relationship.

Five years relationship? The lady is a fool.

At 40+, the nieces and nephews have already moved on. The only ones she will have, if any, are her biological children.

I'm talking from experience. As a single, before you relocate to UK, make sure you have a serious relationship back home before coming here. You can't find true love here in UK. Why do you think guys come back home to marry and go back with their wife's?

Here can be so lonely and them no born you well to approach a white lady anyhow. Hence, she'll call 999 on you for harassment. Unlike Nigeria were you can walk up to any lady toast her anyday.
Call 999 for you grin grin
