But how will my story change overnight when no one is willing to help me sir. I'm at ground zero right now.. Pls find me small thing sir let's use and cook small soup.. We're sleeping on empty stomach today.. I'm begging on my knees pls..

I wanted to sell my uncle clipper but anti b o t banned me in that thread.. That's why I'm here begging hopelessly..

Why is no one willing to help anyone in this country any more.. If I make it tomorrow, will it be bad to do the same to others.. It's well
I for like send you something. I really wish but you know, we live in a very bad, wicked and evil world. Not that people don't want to help. It's just the way the life is, especially in Africa.

Do you know the help someone wants to help can turn to something else? Everybody is just trying to be careful cuz you don't know who is who.

A driver saw someone wailing on the road looking all tattered and waving for cars to stop. A good Samaritan stopped to help but never knew that was the beginning of a big problem for him. The person that was looking for help was not actually looking for help. He stopped only for him to be kidnapped and killed for ritual.

He never knew the helpless person wailing for help was just a bait to gain sympathy to be hijacked and killed. The help he wanted to render happened to be the end of his life.

That's why people don't help. No one knows who is who. I can never send a random person money. I don't even associate with random people and I don't keep random friends. The world is just too wicked and filled with evil people. That's one of the reasons why people don't help.

Many have helped and the help ended up framing them up or taking their lives. I only help random beggars on the street. Those that don't beg me. The ones that beg me, I must observe properly before giving them money.

But most times I prefer just walking up to a random beggar and handing them money. So that with that, I know that the person have no evil ulterior motive for approaching me directly to help him or her.

We live in a failed society with failed judiciary and leaders.

Even if I want to send you money, I will do so using a random POS vendor. I don't like sending random people money from my account directly, except it's for a business purpose and I want to have a proof of payment.

So sorry brother. Everything will be fine.

So I should share apartment with someone when I lived in a big room of my own while in Nigeria? In someone's 30s?
How a Man Spent 14years in Jail for a Crime He Did not Commit Due to a Failed Police And Judiciary System

Kindly watch this man's terrible story of how your dear country police and judicial system failed him. Make sure you take out spare time to watch the man's story. Don't skip or forward the video.

This is one of the reasons why a working system is very important. I believe if something like this happens abroad, the man will be acquitted within few weeks to at most a month.

But here, innocent people are being framed up and the judicial system won't even help matters to attend to people's cases on time.

A failed society is detrimental to you as a person and your children.

Lol easy to say until you are in the system.
This is just one of the dozens of feedbacks I've gotten from prospective employers. It's an IT firm based in California.

The only reason they gave for not employing me was my location (Nigeria) and not because I'm not qualified for the role.

And these are career jobs with good pay. This is what gives me confidence that if I should exit this country, I would definitely get a reasonable job cos location wouldn't be a hindrance to me anymore.

Lol. Did I say it wasn't or are you just trying so hard to sound intelligent. If the latter is the case, you're doing a very terrible job.

I said the reason for my rejection was my LOCATION. And not whether or not it was a generic rejection.

Answer the queston boss, how do you pay £700 for a room and still pay council tax and water billshuh
Okay when you are not a student you pay council tax.

I stay in a two bedroom flats not a room.


Note here in Manchester a two bedroom flat unfurnished goes for 1200. I was lucky to get this

You can check prices here

https://www.zoopla.co.uk/to-rent/flats/2-bedrooms/manchester/

Now imagine if am paying 1200 for house rent alone then earning 1800 pounds after tax. How much will remain. That's 600 now remove council tax, water, transport, food, etx. All am saying is that its better n more preferable for coupled without kids who combine income as they share bill together but once u have kids then one stays n watch the kids or work psrt time. This is the reasons their government support mothers with funds for their children upkeep but unfortunately we are migrant n can't access this.

Hope you are clear now

You lie in your stories. They've not been encouraging, especially when you try to make reference to other people to buttress your points. Again, when you tell your story, put a caveat about why your experience isn't conforming to those of average Nigerians. Don't present it like an ideal situation for any typical Black person coming into the country.

You had opportunity back here to guide others achieve success but you refused. Now, you are trying to paint a picture of trying to help others who intend to leave, albeit laced with lies. Who pays house rent in the UK and also pay all those separate bills when it's part of the house rent in the first place? You think you're the only Nairalander in the UK, right?
No bro unless u are a student n stays in student accommodation then u get that.

But once u graduated or stays in a private house owned by a landlord then it will mostly not come with all that...

I won't respond to u because i see u lack proper reasoning.

When u see family man n children. U should know that bringing family through Msc to United Kingdom stops in 2023.

Or didn't u see where i celebrated being a graduate?

When i said Austria and Germany i knew what i was talking about ( I`v been Austrian citizen for almost 3 decades), i am talking from experience not assumption and the core of my initial writeup is being able to settle in within a maximum of 4 months without any pressure after relocation on a student visa to either of the 2 listed countries.

Nothing sensational about Germany`s block account , you won`t even need to take a penny out of it because you will surely have settled in with your initial 8M naira budget and be earning enough on your 20hrs/week student job. Added to that the 12k euros will just be wasted in paying tuition fee for one mushroom school in the UK.

I would`nt say Spain, Portugal or Italy because i never lived there before and don`t know the reality of the place, i only say what i am 100% sure of.
Bro I like to Engage the Eu folks like you,Can I plz ask, what is there for the average Nigerian, in terms of making more money? and the route and duration to settle.
