Hello Nairalanders, I'm not here to brag, I just need advice before I get lost.

I have two relatives living abroad (UK), both are from my mothers side, same father and same mother...

Just few days ago, I was called and told that they are making plans to send me to the UK early next year to go and stay with my uncle and find something doing there... they already communicated with my uncle abroad, and they just wanted to surprise me.

I'm 29 years old now, I graduated from school last two years as a petroleum engineering. Though, I'm not doing any work for now. My girlfriend is pregnant for me, and I have not disclosed it to anybody yet.

But the truth is that my mind doesn't want to go, I'm not ready and I have told them. They have already started telling me this is a one time opportunity, and that if I miss it, I won't see it again, but I have made up my mind that I don't want to go.

I just can't leave my friends here, I just don't know but I can't..

I need advice,

Why should I go, when my self and my mind is not ready...
If it's because of your pregnant friend that you don't want to go, that same friend will leave you to find a way to sort herself when you can't afford to man up.

Just plan this trip along with your family and leave

When you get there your mind will be there

By the time you find your bearing, you can come for her and your child

If you have any chance to leave this dead country, seize that opportunity as fast as you can and don’t look back.


Your friendssssss and girlfriends whom you reluctant to let go of, you will be of better help to them if you outside the country and sending them hard currency to better their lives.



Unless you earning 500k per month, living in your own house and having no fears for tomorrow then by all means stay back.

But if you buying beans 600naira a cup like I did on Saturday, 200 naira for one egg like I did on Sunday, and 1300 naira for a liter of petrol like I did this morning to fill my gen just to pump water since we’ve not had light since February,

If you worried about getting harassed on transit by clueless police officers standing at checkpoints seeking to fleece you of your hard earned money, if the name TPain is on your lips like every other Nigerian……

Go ahead and ask yourself why you even thinking twice about this once in a lifetime opportunity, if it’s not village people goading you into staying back so they can monitor your activities and have the final say.


I’ve said more than enough


My peace I leave you
You said?

my girlfriend is pregnant, only me know about it for now.. im still in my mother's house..
How una take dey give girls belle sef? How una take dey do am? I had never impregnated a woman in my life and I am still wondering how guys that are not ready to settle down still end up impregnating girls.

I am just too intentional to impregnate a girl. The only girl I have ever dated like seriously in a relationship with in 2013, we never used condom but I still didn't impregnate her by mistake.

That's to tell you the type of intentional man I am. That's the only relationship I can really call relationship. Like we lived like husband and wife. It lasted for 1 and half year.

After that, all the girls I have ever been with, no condom no action. I never get serious with them any way so I can't count them as serious relationships per se, even though I asked them out. I see them as casual relationships. Not until I repented for a year plus now. Glory be to God.

I will advise you focus on your future, carry your bag and go to that UK. 29 years old, you think you are still a child? Better do the needful.

Re: My Family Wants To Send Me To The UK-(London) , But Am Not Ready: I Need Advice by Cousin9999: 4:22am On Dec 03, 2024
You're too focused on the negatives.

1.) You don't have to go permanently.
2.) You can quickly build a home, acquire investment properties, and setup businesses in Nigeria, given the exchange rate.
3.) You may get a job there that allows you to easily secure a good position in Nigeria.
4.) Lagos is only a 6-hour flight away from London.

ETA: Being based in London would make it much easier to secure a good oil and gas position. Bro! $$$$$$

Fake topic. A 29 year old still talking about not wanting to leave his friends?

No one can be that much of a mumu
Lol see u them plenty oo... I used to know one who was going through same. His family made all arrangements only for him to refuse because of his girlfriend. Saying he can't leave her in naija. The opportunity passed and he's still here in Naija struggling and guess what? That babe left his stupid ass for someone else grin
Re: My Family Wants To Send Me To The UK-(London) , But Am Not Ready: I Need Advice by folks4luv(f): 9:04am On Dec 03, 2024
Not going abroad is not the problem, but there are things you mentioned that make you sound unserious. Graduated 2 years ago, you don't have a job, which is not a big deal, na naija we dey. But your unemployed ass managed to get a woman pregnant. Got an opportunity to travel to UK sponsored by family, but your mind is not ready cause you don't want to leave your friends here. You sound like a 21 year old.
Ain't judging you, but i really feel you ain't living the life of a man yet, you seem to be stuck in the boyhood phase.

I know one big nyash is holding you down. Don't worry until T-pain happens to you. However, UK is not the best place to go

Your friends you claimed you don’t want to leave.
Should table turn( I don’t know your level of understanding)
If your friends were given the same opportunity, they will leave you.
Same thing happened to me but God was so gracious with second chance.
Use your common sense.

In short, you are not ready ( 29 years old)
