Well, oyibo doesn't psychologically torture, underpay, wilthold slaries or maltreat unskilled workers the way we do in Nigeria. So people can accept such jobs over there with dignity but here, if you accept such jobs in Nigeria, it's not not going to be about your humility - but about your dignity being violated by your very employer. The societal perception of unskilled labor is impacted by employee treatment mostly
You are right to a very large extent but there is still case of maltreatment and underpay none the less. I know of one presently who is having challenges with his white employers out of intimidation.

However the lesson for all Nigerians in diaspora is that when you in a new country and you still trying to settle in, do go and be show off immediately no matter how gifted you are. Go, observe, learn and make the little input gradually and you will be amazed how far you get till your foot is deeply rooted and stabilized. Then you can go all out

Too much talk talk. As a student in Uk, ain't you suppose to focus on your studies. You presented proof of funds and remaining school fees for embassy. Raising 15k on a 20 hours per week job is not possible. That means you dey go against your visa rule by working more than 20 hours per week. You even come online dey talk am. I pity you.

Make home office no see this video. Nah so una talk talk them cancel dependant visa for masters students. Even if you dey make such money as a student which I doubt, must you come online to broadcast it.

Naija people make we dey use our senses.
You see? In the UK police and home office go through social media to see things for themselves. They do not do much leg walk investigations anymore, most of their investigations are done on social media.

That woman is straight out of the bush if she thinks £15k in 12 months in the UK is something to brag about. Once you take into account living expenses it's virtually nothing.
Maybe she doesn't spend much unlike some people.. some people hardly spend their money. No clubbing, no shopping, wears the same cloths daily, never buys anything.

Such a shame.

Intelligent people that should have been very valuable to the societies in line with their core trainings decided to live a lie, telling themselves that living in a perceived better society means living their best lives.

A trained doctor or engineer going to be a grass cutter and foolishly poting it online with pride, calling it humility.
You don't get it, it's not about the education but the money and respect you earn from the benefit of the money.... It all boils down to the money and not about the environment

Tax cannot be more than 20% which is just £3000. Besides, she said she said she save £15,000 meaning tax deductions have already been made
It is not possible to save £15000 in UK for 3 months doing those jobs she mentioned. People have been doing those jobs since time memorial and nobody get near that figure. Nigerian are too lousy. Safe your money and keep quiet

There is no such thing as unskilled labour in the UK. The protect their market and make it a kind of cartel-run industry.

One of the motivation for brevit was to send lower-charging blue collar workers from Eastern Europe back to their country so they can continue squeezing people recklessness.

Just to change a faulty floater in the water tank, the floater likely cost less than £5, the guy spends less than 5mins changing it, yet he charged me £130, discounting it to £120 when I challenged him on the steep rate and you'll struggle to find any licenses workman that will do cheaper at armslenght.

Meanwhile minimum wage in the country is about £12 an hour. So the guy charging £120 for a 5mins job of which I was definitely not the reason for his coming out and he only had time in the evening.

It is always about the education. It was never meant to be about the money. But the rampart poverty in Nigeria makes everything about money. It even makes a person studying in school believe that the end result of their study is to have more money.

How I Raised £15,450 in Few Months in the UK.

In an insightful interview conducted by Precious Ubani, a UK-based Nigerian lady shared how she raised £15,450 within a few months after arriving in the UK. She explained that when she first came to the UK, she had to learn various tasks, including cleaning, grass cutting, and even working as a carer. Despite being new to the country, she took on these jobs without hesitation and gradually began building a steady income.

She revealed that within just three months of arriving, she had already started earning, and it wasn’t long before people began reaching out to her for similar services. Reflecting on the work she did, she mentioned that while some might feel embarrassed to do these menial jobs, she was never ashamed as long as she was earning. She was proud of her hustle and didn’t let societal perceptions hold her back.

The lady shared that these jobs allowed her to make a substantial amount of money, earning £15,450 in less than a year. She encouraged others, particularly those coming from Nigeria or similar backgrounds, to stay humble and persistent. “Even if you were a president back home, when you come here, you have to humble yourself to achieve your goals,” she said, stressing the importance of perseverance and hard work.

Just like me who work In a warehouse with dignity
Some Nigerians will say it a slave job
But my first few months and till now has been rewarding working in a warehouse
I got my CDL and drove truck for sometime which the pay was good but I stopped cause I don’t have time for my self and family
But with my warehouse job Even the pay is lesser than the truck driving I still prefer it
Cause it gives me enough time for me and my family and I also save every month at least 400$ to 500$ monthly

God has been great
Once my 10years mark reaches over here I’ll go back home to my investment and retire
Life no suppose hard
Na you wan quick get money without being patient and doing the right thing

Though I applaud her survival spirit and determination to succeed, £15k in the U’K is waaayyyyyy below U.K poverty line. These media idiots are trying to promote the idea of well educated Nigerians japa-ing to UK to go and work menial jobs that the UK citizens deemed as being beneath them. They want you to take pride in serving those you are better than yet look down on you.

it is not possible. Such jobs are on minimum wage which is around £13 per hour. £(13x11hrs x 30days x 3 months) =£12,870. This is gross pay 0 excluding taxes, hmr deductions, NI, transport, feeding, rents. She is just fucking lousy.

It is all lies I am telling you. I have lived there for more than 20 years and it is impossible to make £15,000 from cleaning , cutting grass and carer. UK is not as easy as being painted. Things take time in the UK and you may or may not make it in the end. Don't be deceived.
