The fact is that the person here is using his unpreparedness to face life outside Nigeria to advise others. He's discouraging others from leaving because of his own personal failings. Months from now, he'll come back to open another thread and begin to wail again. Nobody should take him seriously.

Hmmm. The person is just sharing his experience. The fact that he was able to travel and you're getting discouraged by his piece shows that you have a lot of work to do on yourself. I don't get discouraged by what people say about their experience. I have my goals and work towards them. You can also share your experience so that others will be encouraged. I guess you have a prepared life wherever you are.

Atk1nson:
You are either an alternate account of the op, or you struggle with comprehension.

The guy could have clearly stated that he lacked ambition which is why he has no driving licence and lives on the bare minimum rather than suggesting its the norm.

For all I care, he can quit work and live in food banks where he stays, but he should be clear on why.

You're right. I have several alternate accounts and same as the OP. You that's over-ambitious, tell us your achievements and accomplishments. I put it to you that you may not earn in the next ten years what I earned ten years ago. But now, I'm fine with the bare minimum, happy and contented with my life.
It's time you focus on yourself and your health instead of being a scandalmonger.
You can direct your ambitions to assist your family and friends.

Bro, Nigeria doesn't fall into countries the US considers as potential hubs for sourcing out professionals. However countries like China, India and most professionals in western Europe fall into this category.

If you carry out a study you'd discover that less than 15% of Nigerians have actually benefitted from this scheme. Reason being that our education system isn't amongst the top rated worldwide.

So telling a Nigerian living in Nigeria to keep applying that if he's good enough an American company would sponsor his trip over there to work is not a realistic objective. The best is to move over there, complete your Msc, and get a good job.

I see that as a self-defeating personality disorder. I assisted many with sponsorships and the last time I checked Nigeria is a hub for sourcing professionals. The only issue I found is many exaggerate their profile/achievements and sometimes lie. I responded to your post based on your claims, however, I will leave you with the words of Marc Andreesen
“The world is a very malleable place. If you know what you want, and you go for it with maximum energy and drive and passion, the world will often reconfigure itself around you much more quickly and easily that you would think.”

Next time try to understand what someone is saying before rushing to hit reply.

I'm not talking about scholarships, as there are countless Nigerians who are benefiaries of American scholarships daily.

I'm talking about getting a foreign American job from Nigeria and being fully sponsored by the company to relocate to the US.

Do you think it's easy? Before a company/firm would sponsor you from Nigeria to work for them, you'd have to be the best amongst the best.

I uploaded a reply I got from a firm in my previous post. Our image isn't at its best currently. Thus making it extremely difficult for job applicants in Nigeria to be considered for remote jobs let alone being sponsored to come over there and work.

It has nothing to do with with self defeating personality disorder. It's just the harsh reality whether you choose to believe it or not.

erico2k2:
Try and find out, if this job is remote to other African countries, you never know bro.

There's no way I'll be able to know that cos you'd have to grant them permission to access your location during your application.

So if your location doesn't fall in countries they feel have something to offer them in that field, they'll reject you.

Sadly, a lot of foreign remote jobs are like this. It would take a miracle to get employed from Nigeria. Unless you want to go via Upwork and other job recruiting route.

bea1234567:
how

sorry i misunderstood your initial post.

Nazgul:
UK is over crowded. So getting jobs there is difficult.

I know a friend who went there in 2023. Dude is still struggling to stand on his feet.

US is far better than the UK when it come to job opportunities. Cos you can't compare the number of companies in the US to the UK.

And if you have a still in a field like tech, you'll like comfortably in the US.

I can't go to the UK to settle down. Unless maybe to visit.

The question we all ask is, what documents will you use to work in the USA.

They have no pathway except for highly skilled people, they hardly hire care workers offshore as they already have Puerto Ricans and Mexicans doing their menial jobs.

It means we have to do fake marriage or violate your stay period just to stay in the USA

This is what I mean, mayB its easy to do same job if you was in south Africa?

AleAirHub:
With #30 million in my bank account, I can comfortably earn $3,500–$4,500 monthly here in Nigeria 🇳🇬—enough to support my family and invest in assets. No need to exhaust myself in Britain 🇬🇧 chasing a so-called better lifestyle.

What's your strategy for making $4k/m if you have $20k?

Why would a former rector of a polytechnic japa in the first place only to end up in a factory?

Sometimes, I take these posts to be comical.

Those "bankers" were contract staff. Any previous permanent staff who works in a care agency must be very mad!

You are playing
I repeat
You are playing lol

My fourth madam in my unit when I was in the bank those days currently works in Care in Birmingham
And btw makes more money collectively with her husband and her now adult daughter (she was still u 16 when they came) than they would have made even at that job


Forget the social. capital and status
Tinubu devaluation has rendered professional pay in Nigeria useless

And no. we weren't "contract staff"

Gerrard59:
So they rather do care jobs than apply to similar roles in Nigeria they were in before they left?

How much will they be paid compared to what they get here ?
Add insults and toxic Nigerian corporate environment to the mix

As much as I won't personally do care, I understand why they are doing it

Gerrard59:
What I mean is: someone did MSc Business Analytics at a university in the UK. Unfortunately, due to visa issues and fierce competition, s/he cannot get a job in the industry or sister-industries or role aligned to Business Analytics. My question is: isn't it better for the person to apply to jobs in Nigeria that require someone with such skills and degree rather than settle for care jobs in the UK?

The care jobs pay more
That's just the simple truth

If the jobs back home can pay even 70% of the care job pay, many will consider a jump back

Sha, Nigerians campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015. So, no sympathy whatsoever!

Stop lying. I repeat stop lying. Do you know what it means to be a rector? You try to justify your decision by gaslighting others. I know over 5 persons who returned to same Nigeria after finishing their M.sc and you're saying a rector which is a political appointment is doing care job in the UK. I don't degrade what others do and at the same time don't accept it when someone lies to themselves or others to justify their actions, making them seem reasonable or acceptable.

Sir, you're not a talent. The earlier you stop deceiving yourself, the better for you. The job reply you uploaded further buttress my point.

1. I personally don't like the workday platform
2. You're applying to the wrong type of jobs
3. That was an automated reply (Your CV wasn't even viewed)
4. You should spend more time reading/learning before applying for any jobs.

You can continue to hide under the image of Nigeria while others leave you behind.

No forget where he said he pays 1k pounds for each person per year for health insurance

exactly , for him to be able to pay all that it means London is 1million times better than naija so he should stop discouraging people . Imagine paying 1k pounds for each person and still able to save a good amount

fullclub:
There are people that hardly save that.. Ask those in London. But its all process and hopeful for the better.

Note for those who don't have children. Newly married couples they could save 2000 pounds every month as one partner salary is used to cover all expenses while the other is saved.


I just gave u the life of a married man

exactly so no need to be discouraging people from going to UK or any European countries

yad2eidi:
exactly so no need to be discouraging people from going to UK or any European countries

Not at all. It's recommended at least for long term plans but not for quick rich scheme

fullclub:
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

That's why birth rate in western world is plummeting and that's also why that your unku and auntie in da You Kay is very stingy.


My boss from Nigeria that relocated here don complain tire. E no easy oh

fullclub:
No my brother. U are the one misleading people and saying u got driving test done thrice a month. While i might not argue with u on that i just pointed to u that u can't book multiple times for test. Its not done anywhere

Why pass judgment on others over their choices? Their life, their choice.

That better quality of life is lame bro. I had a better quality of life while in Nigeria. Here u have to stress standing long hours working with ur feet wanting to pull off.

No party, its work home sleep work home sleep no outdoor cos of the massive cold we aren't used to

Although the children goes to good schools that's a compensation as they quickly learn their ascent

If the quality of life is worse, why haven't you returned to Nigeria?

GboyegaD:

Well i paid over 15000 pounds in school fees and 90% of that money was converted in naira. With the exhange rate its 30 million naira.
I paid house rent for over 4 months and a deposit of one month with naira thats over 7 million.

Flight tickets with my family cost us over 5 million.


If you can give me that i will return to Nigeria

You spent 42million on japa. If I may ask, why not consider a business in Nigeria with that huge some of money?

Did you have the 42million in cash or you paid some of the money as you are working in the UK?

Will you only consider relocating back home if you at least save the 42million you spent ?
