Stop it... Stop acting like there is terrorism in every party of Nigeria. Stop acting like everyone living in Nigeria is living in fear.

Not down playing the kidnapping and herdsmen carnage in Nigeria , people are living their normal life. Like me, I even stay in the northern part of Nigeria and I am living well and fine.

How can I be living in a mansion and have very good source of income in Nigeria, then I leave to go and stay in a one room studio apart in the UK where I will work like a slave for the rest of my life.

Nigerians are not working like slaves without social security, right?

It's called a phase, life is in phases.
He could start with that room and later progress into something bigger, just like the write-up suggested.
If he feels like jugging,he should hit the streets.
There's hope for survival out there, unlike what we have here in Nigeria. Anyone that has opportunity should seize it ASAP.

It's more about mentality. Nigeria is the best place, geographically speaking.

U.K is so overrated!

Thank God I didn't make that mistake of "JAPAING" back then. By now, my own lamentation for pass this one.

See as house tight like my fowl cage. The stress of working round the clock nko? Followed by the characteristic don't do this, don't do that. On top wetin? Saner Clime

The monumental suffering that I experienced in my University days has always been my guide to any life's decision. The moment I want to undertake a venture and someone says you'll have to "suffer a few years before you find your feet". I'll immediately reject that venture. I don too suffer for University abeg, I refuse to suffer again in my life.

Nigeria is not perfect, I go dey manage am like that. Afterall, saner clime is not for everybody.

PS- Any JAPARIAN or intending JAPARIAN wey body dey pepper should avoid my mention. I get hot temper! I no dey hear e don do. I go drag you like Tiger generator.

Lol, I swear you be cruse.

Ur comment is insensitive to those who have suffered from insecurity.
Whether u like it or not, the insecurity in this country affect you directly or indirectly. If it hasn't gotten to you directly, it ll surely gets to you indirectly. It's just a matter of time.

Mindlog:
That box room is part of climbing the ladder, here in the UK.

I started out in a small space as a student, now in a way bigger place and cool neighbourhood with my family.

I don't work like a "slave" as I am into a skill set that pay more, for less time and that is something achieving in Nigeria, will be more struggles.

I guess, with more pay/less time, it doesn't consume too much of your energy, as well?

Please, what skill set is this, that pays you more while consuming less time (preventing you from working like a slave)?

House rat with ambition. Lol

Like the writer said, They like it like that.

You've made your choice to continue staying in Northern Nigeria and you're okay with it.

Those that have japa have their own strong motivation and they're fine with life there. Life is not easy anywhere.

Let everyone rest abeg

The picture of her room (box room) reminds me of the one I lived in when I first came to the UK. Mine was actually smaller than that. I lived there for 9 months. It was a starting point. Everyone has to start somewhere. Sometimes you have to take a few steps backwards to move forwards. I went from renting a box room to eventually being a landlord to tenants. I know how much I send to Nigeria every month for different reasons.

Do you know that diasporans in the UK remitted about $3.53 billion back to Nigeria in 2022? 2nd only after USA? Globally, about $20 billion was remitted back home by Nigerian diasporans. That same year Nigeria earned $35.7 billion form Oil & Gas. That same year Foreign Direct Investment from other sources was -$0.19 billion (negative). The highest it had ever been up till then from 2010 was $8.84 billion in 2011. Bear in mind that the FG would have spent millions of dollars on trade missions and other government sponsored junkets in order to woo investors, and also make certain tax breaks and other incentives available for FDI. Money from diasporans is money to Nigeria FOR FREE.

Nobody gives diasporans any tax breaks for investing in Nigeria, just like is given to the already rich Chinese, Arabs and westerners. Diasporans work extremely hard, run businesses, hustle in the streets etc, and gladly send these monies home for various things. No thank you for being the largest source of foreign earning into Nigeria after Oil & Gas. Instead, what I've seen in the last few years is a concerted effort to malign and de-market the idea of Nigerians moving abroad, and it's increased 10 fold in the last year.

How typical of black man to consistently shoot himself in the foot. To consistently make things worse for himself just because of pride and sentiments. Stubbornly refusing to be pragmatic. Yes, we will feed ourselves, create jobs and keep ourselves healthy by being proud, abi? Grown men, fathers, grand fathers and even great grandfathers, reasoning like children and scoring cheap political points. Indulging in meaningless bragging rights. Sad.

Deep and wise statements

Not everybody will understand, though.

your made up nonsensical story makes no sense. Quoting you "How can I be living in a mansion and have very good source of income in Nigeria, then I leave to go and stay in a one room studio apart in the UK where I will work like a slave for the rest of my life " even people that started from the very scratch in the"box apartment " don't spend the rest of their lives in the box, they plan, they work hard, they excel and get good things for themselves. The fact that you have already planned to spend the rest of your life in the box apartment shows you are a real life looser. Nonsense.

Even her confined coffin apartment, she has access to water and electricity 24/7 with the fact, tomorrow holds abundant opportunities for her succeed there. Compare that to Nigeria where the only thing on an average citizen mind is what to eat, morning, afternoon and night.

All the hustles from January to December goes to buying food. How about the crazy increase of rent.

All this shenanigans won't deter people to japa.

Firebox123:
come to Egbin ijede ikorodu Lagos

350k for three bedroom flat

Don't argue with me Google can actually help to find out the truth

It may be possible if your landlord is still a good person and the house was built before 2023

MC oluomo the number one agbero still won't allow his son to school in Nigeria, and you actually think those people abandoning their ”mansions“ in Nigeria are stupid right?

As in eh.
Those people are securing property and British passport ls for their children so they can have where to run to after destroying Nigeria.

Me, I should be more patriotic than everyone else. Lol.

Living in Nigeria is not easy oh. No matter how patriotic I try to be. That's the honest truth.

Very ignorant post.

That same 450 pounds will get you a mini flats in other places in England.

You can't complain if you use the money that can get you a flat in ayobo to rent a small room in Lekki.

Good question, I asked someone one day, why do you hardly here of banditry in Kano state, I was told there are no expanse of lands for them to hide in Kano. You see where the problem lies in those states where banditry thrives. The government there don't have complete control of their land areas which allows these incursions from border countries go unchecked.

I'm the owner of the house tho

I work in public service with a London borough, 36hrs per week as a Clinical Practitioner in children services.

My side hustles are Neurodevelopmental Assessments and E-therapy sessions, all from the comfort of my home office....the hourly rate is cool.

Guy let me break it down.

That 450 pounds is just less than one week salary..

That 450 pounds will get her

1. 24 hours electricity supply

2. Brazen speed 5G Internet 24/7 month after month.

3. Available gas each month.

4. Water bills and all associated bills like the ones you pay lawma and so on and we call it council tax here.

Now if she wants a bigger place she can go to other areas in England we call outside London or somewhere outside expensive areas in England and she can get at least a studio flat.

So leave all these nonsense ignorant people post online especially the JJCs that just came in from Nigeria.

What you guys see as luxurious life style in naija is a norm for us here.

So annoying how they compare paying 500 pounds for a room per month in UK and then eating it to what they pay for a flat in naija.

Can you pay for that flat with two months salary in naija,? Yet you can easily pay 500 pounds with less than a week salary in UK.

wake up calls are healthy... For those who seek to improve though..not unscrupulous people who love self deceit... That's what score cards are meant for. Score cards are meant to point out areas of default and urge u on to change or improve where necessary

Any Nigerian downplaying these things instead agitating for a change in status quo is a criminal

Downplaying what exactly?

McOluomo and Mc Oluomo son are two different being right? In that post I didn't see anything about the poster saying they are stupid.

DemonSlayer:
in which part of Nigeria exactly?

Outskirt of Saki East, where you can easily access Boko Haram bus. These people downplay Nigeria a lot.
