You might chose not to agree with her or resort to call her names

But what she said... Thats simply the truth but we just pretend ad if its lies.

U might struggle to save up 4000 pounds for 8 months or even 10 months. Then if u lose ur job or didn't work for 1 month or 2 months then that whole savings is gone..
What i mean here is that u are just one minute of being broke in the UK. That's how the system is designed.


Uk is for hustlers.. No enjoyment and u have to leave a very frugal lifestyle to save.
Lot are depressed and burn out.
No magic money as u have to saved over years... 10 years straight up to meet expectations

But if its security.... Uk is far secured than America
Health care in emergency situations they are best. Call ambulance u are saved

I don't know what you guys gain in parroting falsehood

No one to throw free money anywhere in those societies, if you really want to live a baby girl life, you must work your ass off unlike in Nigeria, where there a lot of simp men spending fraud money on you girls. Bills will reset your brain there.

Prince Harry leaving UK with his family was a matter of Security reasons and many more. You got no excuse about him

zero8zero:
She's talking to Obidient. I think she's an Obidient too but reality don nack am. Na people with inferiority complex been wan die ontop japa. Dash me UK, I go reject am, even Prince Harry carry him family japa from UK enter US dey live.

Most of the things in UK are being imported and that is why they open doors for foreign investors. Imagine taking our the owners of some football clubs in EPL, the league will die

brain54:
I have friends in UK that are always complaining...


"No money in the UK" many of them have flee to the US which they claim is better.

The taxation system in UK is tough. They will milk you dry through taxation. But think of it... they is no natural resource in the country. So they rely heavily on taxes for their economy.

The US better!

FameGlory:
Is that why my friends in the UK no even dey send me small pounds to dorime this rainy season?
Ordinary £5, I never see.
The thing is now making me afraid of traveling to UK.
Recently I was just thinking, if all my friends in UK are complaining of being broke, ha!!!...what is my fate.
God abeg o.

I have a sister in the Uk who’s married . She’s doing well . Her husband is a doctor so they are both very good. But that’s not the case for a lot of people . So it might be true .
I live in Canada which is a better place . You can save here and make a good life . You can even work in the USA once you have your passport and apply for jobs there . Just some documentations required .
Avoid the UK if you have other options if not . Go for it . Still better than Nigeria

Japa, japa japa, is it not this same Europa my friend travelled and stayed for 15yrs, precisely Switzerland, a lady in Nigeria bailed him, otherwise shame wouldn't have allowed him to return because it's a wasted yrs.its only when you go you will know. Anyway what is my own

Quelme:
Canada the big for nothing country with unemployment skyrocketing on a daily basis. Very obvious you are not informed.

lol yet their GDP is almost 2.5 trillion dollars … that’s a GDP generated by barely 40 million people … compare that to Nigeria’s GDP

highchief1:
I understand u bro I can’t even go to Uk.i hate the place so much that I don’t even agree to transit there.same way I hate America.naija no bad only say u need money to enjoy life in Nigeria.if u go broke for Nigeria u go understand the meaning of hell.one can be broke abroad and still have a life.abroad better pass Nigeria.even the yeye Uk still better pass Nigeria Abeg.

I don't understand what u mean by broke.

But pray not to be out of job or have issues that affects ur work or banned u from ur job.

I meant if u don't have money to meet ur bills then u go understand abroad wel well

If one wants to die very fast, just move to US!

You will make your money, but that place is a shit hole.
You got to be extra careful.

GeneralPula:
Uk

Canada

Both are overrated. USA is the only country that stand alone and better..

Countries like Denmark, Swiss are way better than UK and Canada combined..

Falsehood how? Say ur experience n leave others to say theirs.

You are wrong.

You still don't understand it.

In the UK, the social amenities are already there for to utilize on, as far you have a job and work regularly.

The social amenities and solid infrastructures is their money there!
The normal physical cash is just like pocket money which can't do much, but it doesn't matter, because every system is available and working when you need it. Even with the small pocket money.

I want to be in the UK.
I don't want to drive flashy cars!
I don't want flashy house!
I don't want flashy aesthetic!
I do not want to stay in stylish estates with big iron security gates!

I just want a place wey the systems there supports you and are always available 247!

That is UK for you!

Money is a tool to achieve things in life.
What is life, when you struggle, work hard but no money to take care of yourself and needs

I can do menial jobs until I transit to USA in 1.5 years.

I'm a healthworker.

I bet you don't even have international passport. Life is not Nollywood bro, you are still struggling in Nigeria and you are this proud , una too funny I swear.

International passport I obtained since April 2024. Dey play my fans. You think say everybody dey like you awon werey.

As far i have peace of mind, the government can take all my money for bills. I don't care.

Its the consistent, planned and effective life that i want there, which the UK government provides.

If you are going to UK to have loads of cash in your bank account to live those luxurious and Nigerian extraordinary show-off style, you will be disappointed. Its better you don't relocate. Just remain in Nigeria!

But if you want a system that works, this system am talking about is different from richness or wealth. A situation where the government has already strategically positioned almost everything for you with your average income, what else do you need!

004gist:
Nigeria is bad yes but If u are comfortable in Nigeria and use to comfort then u might discover that UK is not for you except u are employed in a professional field.. Doctors, engineers, Nurses... Like office work.


Aside that u have to work the work and share ur money with government and rest goes to bill

Yeah u correct n with time even the money will come its better than Nigeria but remove peace of mind until u now get ur PR/ILR
This their government de craze

Alright.

No problem. I just stated my facts though.

You wrote very well. I appreciate.

Wish you a beautiful day ahead.

Is she still smelling even after running to You Kay?

You're a liability to common sense and social order.

It's actually beyond senseless to try to compare the life of folks in he UK to those in Nigeria. The value of their currencies alone makes it a pointless comparison. It could be that majority of the people OP is friends with are not doing well. However, I can assure you that they are doing better than most in Nigeria. The health care, security, basic infrastructure, and quality of life in general alone make it a senseless comparison. These are countries that value hard work, and you will be rewarded accordingly. Unlike Nigeria that does the exact opposite. Everyone I know that has traveled to the UK/USA etc. are doing better there than when they were in Nigeria. Just the quality of life it affords they and their kids alone makes it an excellent move.

EmperorIsaac:
I agree with her. It's just bills! No money to waste on the likes of Tacha.

It's not about "wasting money on the likes of tacha", life is indeed tough for most Nigerians in the UK, the ones better off are skilled workers or white collar.

Oh you just got international passport in 2024 and you are here talking like tap water and making noise with people who have been in abroad for over 6years with permanent residency? Calm down boy life is not Nollywood. That your passport might expire without you making use of it, is not a prayer but reality. I bet you don't even have 20million naira plus to japa to the uk and you are here making noise

When you have debit always and tax, what so you expect.. ?

Ebubu:
US is far better than that shithole of UK. You don't keep cash, you'll be feeding well and doing things but zero savings. All your monies are used up by the UK system. Many people are doing UK then 1-3 years move to Canada, then 1-3 years move to USA the utmost Baba. There taxes are far lower, and there are a lot more earning opportunities.

I see UK people complain no money but I hardly see USA people complain no money. Unless the Naija man in USA does not have legit papers to stay or to work.

I want to emigrate to Canada by upper year, then from there in two years I'll be at the United States.

USA people don't complain about money because they all have 100k in debt mostly in depreciating assets, 20k in credit card debt is not unusual.

004gist:
I don't understand what u mean by broke.

But pray not to be out of job or have issues that affects ur work or banned u from ur job.

I meant if u don't have money to meet ur bills then u go understand abroad wel well

no be only abroad u no go fit survive when u are broke na.naija sef no easy if anyone runs out of luck

Leave them alone, all this comments here about the US is based on hearsay or watching Hollywood movies.

Niyiwealth:
I don’t know where people get the notion that tax takes all your money. I pay 20% of remaining balance of my salary after they have set aside 12,500 tax allowance. We were able to raise my wife’s school and have invited our mums three times and paid for their flights since we got to the uk three years ago.

My wife had traveled for holiday and God has tremendously blessed us. We have been able to help lots of people back home. With God’s blessing, hard and honest work, and unity between the husband and wife, the sky is your limit in the Uk. Two of my friends have bought their houses with a deposit of 30m naira deposit. How many people can raise that in Nigeria within two years?

I am available for helping my boss. Things are really tough back here.... I am a Tiler, a Laundry Man and also a barber.... I am good in all this three.

This thread clearly shows there are lot of ignoranuses in this country.

Name of a country does not determine how rich or poor anyone will be but rather the quality of skill sets you have.

See many people here hyping US and Canada, countries they have never been. Too much Hollywood movies.

Go to the US and you will see lot of people whic can’t afford three square meals. Go to Canada, you will see people who can’t pay bills, who have become homeless. Go to Togo and you will see a billionaire in pounds sterling.


Your skill set, not the country!

Why are you jealous? Everyone is not going to be abroad and miserable like you. I'm in the healthcare sector and not interested in UK. I'm going to Canada and from there to the US. Or US straight.

At least they have means to repay it while they are young plus I'm a healthworker, a Pharmacist so can repay my credit card every year if I ever have need to borrow.

Too much exaggeration.

As a Canadian passport holder, you can only visit the US for 6 months max. You can’t work.

However, if you profession is among the professions qualified for TN visa, you can apply. If your application is approved , you can work temporarily in the US. TN visa a temporary non immigrant visa. It doesn’t make you become an immigrant.

If you really want to work in the US as an immigrant as a Canadian passport holder, you will apply like any other person in the world with your application given zero priority.

abbyyzino:
God forbid UK… If you want to japa and you are not thinking of the US, sorry for you o!


God bless America!

God forbid that you believe her. I'm based in the UK, been to USA multiple times, and honestly there's no difference. The issue with her is that UK is a conservative society, and even though 5% of the population is a millionaire, no one throws money around. No one throws thousands of pounds in Dorime. They just buy houses, drive nice cars, and go on vacation. All those shenanigans don't exist here.
