SIRTee15:
Use your brain, that's why the story is a lie.
A family can't rent one bedroom apartment in the UK. It's not allowed, the landlord will be in big trouble if social service get to know about their living condition

The story is a pure confabulation.

Thank God someone else is saying it
not just me

zinaunreal:
Jobs & housing is a serious issue there

Which country I fit come reason ? I want to go with student route !

IronGalaxy:
Damn. Is Naija that bad?

It must be chaotic but I wonder how much that N60m is worth in the UK.

Ignatio:
If he can earn to build a house what makes you think he won't make it in UK? Maybe you lack hustle mentality.

He probably inherited the house he sold for cheap. If he was the one that worked hard to build it he wouldn’t sell a house in Lagos to gamble it away in UK. Most of you don’t know what it means to own a house in Lagos. I would rather gamble my money on a developing city like Lagos than gamble it on a country like UK that has reached its peak and now declining gradually.
However, he owns it and he can do whatever he likes with it.

olabrad:
Do you know how much inflation would have further damaged the value of the naira in 3 to 5 years from now?

What will be the worth of the 150 million naira in 3 to 5 years from now?

There is inflation everywhere.

ibechris:
I used to talk like u but listen to yourself and see how the country is tilting towards anarchy.

People just get killed at will. The rate of ritual killings,armed robbery,banditry,Bokoharam,Iswap and bad politicians making everything tough for people.

Since this govt came in,many people went from being average to poverty and many are still being plunged into unexpected financial troubles as a result of bad policies.

Let them go and ease off.

Since you are so knowledgeable please tell us the bad policies and outline why they are bad? Please……🙏

Baronthecelebri:
Nigeria is gone

tragergeorge:

1.9m car 5yrs ago is over 8m now..
it's all same shit..

anytime you sell is the right time
land we bought 600k is now 5m
but then 600k can get you a used big daddy..
now used big daddy is about 4.5m to 6m.depemds of the sharpness

The same inflation that is happening to you in Nigeria is the same inflation that is happening to him in UK to an extends that he can only afford a one room apartment to house his family.
Inflation is everywhere, we can’t avoid it but can only hedge against it and real estate is a good way to hedge against inflation.

Osgilliat:
He sold a house that would have worth 150m in 3 to 5 years for 60m to relocate to UK of all places.
He will soon understand life in UK. Truly, some people are born to suffer.

Ogcalm down,how can a house worth 60m now worth 150m in 3years, a house that's depreciatingby day?

Personally I won't blame him, his reasons are cogent enough, within a short time he'dget mother job aging up to 3k or more

Talkisneeded:
You can’t blame a man tho,he thinks leaving is the best decision…
Goodluck

The worst decision of his life. If care is not taken he may find himself with his maker in the not too distant future. I hope he is less than 50yrs

Revealer3:
please can you you define suffering,are you presently enjoying in Nigeria . people relocate from Nigeria for several reasons

1.insecurity
2.inflation
3.bad health care system
4.Bad educational system
5.Corruption

Among others

With this mindset you will make the same calamitous mistake. The western world is finished. Things have changed drastically.

Revealer3:
you don't even know where I live.Can you state any way Nigeria is better than the UK or any European countries.

Please update me

Listen and Listen carefully, ABROAD DON CAST!!!!

onuman:
You and madridguy are just seeking for attention.
If the man gets a job quick, in three years, he must have made N60 million.
Remember that Naira has been bastsrdised by APC to N1951 to 1 GBP.

That’s a big IF. lol
Nigerians only hear go then they all rush in without proper research. Situation has changed in UK and situation is still changing.

MatrixCircle:
Better with a peace of mind and knowing the children have a future, than staying in the whole house in Lagos without sense of direction and what would be the future of your children. Whether Nigeria will keep existing by Next year 2026. Let him secure the safety of his family first, put those kids in British school in London, same international school that wealthy Nigerians pay £10,000 to put their children in Lagos or Abuja.

He made the right decision. Secure your family first. All your National Assembly members and Governors don keep their family overseas. Let him keep his own too.

I have no problem with his decision. Just wondering how possible in UK to stay with wife and 2 kids in a room without official visitation

motymop:
dont mind him, he is doing it for his children

That’s the scam by your own wife!

Depends on his plans

30k in the UK can blow up in smoke in less than a year quickly.
To survive with 2 kids, he will need at least 2k -2.5k per month.
That means he will need a job to supplement his outgoing. How he will managed to do that as a student and probably a singe parent is another discussion on its own.

Now, what course is he doing? Hope is it one that will get him a job fast post graduation. If not, he go hear wen. Funds go run out and no job to fall back one.
In my opinion, he has 60/40 chance to make it through.
The guy needs grace o

Emzedz:
Jw many can buy 2024 Toyota camry in naija.
Useless country

How many can buy 2020 Camry in USA UK Europe without bank loan or credit?
Overhyped frustration countries

Outthemudbyvoke:
He made the best decision ever for his mental health and safety of his kids.

All those criticizing him would jump at such opportunity when it presents itself. They just capping cause the ball isn't in their court for now

Speak for yourself only. Stop projecting your own life and frustration on others.

Heffalump:
That's a very poor conclusion. The way some people reason gives me goose pimples. Do you know whether he's destined to survive and have breakthrough in the UK? Is it your Nigeria that people are paying ransomes and being murdered upandan that's better to endure?

Biased anti-Nigeria mindset. Relocate ti the UK and come back and tell us how far in 10 years!

Cmanforall:
In 5 years time, he’d buy that house of he wants.
The difference will be his family will be safe and enjoy the benefits of the tax he pays

Reality or fantasy?

Have you ever lived abroad? I am willing to bet you haven’t. You won’t be saying this bs.

Hussein035:
In
That's 1milion naira plus in a month

Now that Europe is having problem. Once all African countries decide to stop all European nations from stealing our resources I believe we will all understand that Europe is nothing without Africa, by that time this man will be looking for a way to come back home but for now I wish you good luck

If he is over 50, I really wish him luck. E may never see Nigeria again if he doesn’t have cardio health.

Iran2025:
That's his decision and he has reasons for taking that line.

Most of these decisions are based on fantasies rather than reality. The man is in a BIG HOLE. I hope he survives it if he is above 50yrs old.

Osgilliat:

In that 3-5yrs if could make more than 150m Naira if he manage himself very well and invest him savings. Imagine he get a jobs that pays him 5,000£ per months and his saves £2,000 per months. In £72,000-120,000£ in 3-5yrs.... That is ₦137M to ₦229M.

Which is way over the ₦150m house in 3-5yrs you talk about

jaxxy:
When ur government not only fails u but goes out of its way to try to destroy you these are the kind of decision u make out of survival mode.

Every Tom Dick and Harry in Nigeria are too quick to blame government. Nigeria is a very poor country (in dollar terms). The government is very constrained by finance and budget. 250 million people on FG budget on only $62billion. That’s ridiculous !!!

Theawakensoul:
In that 3-5yrs if could make more than 150m Naira if he manage himself very well and invest him savings. Imagine he get a jobs that pays him 5,000€ per months and his saves €2,000 per months. In €72,000-120,000€ in 3-5yrs....

What is the probability of this in today’s UK, US, Canada or Europe?

Exousiang01:
For a man who was enough to own a house in Lekki.
Bro... Na village people dey do am
Selling it for 60m alone.
Except the house is a complete dump.
Even empty land cost more in Lekki....

The man go suffer.
Student visa means there is a cap on employment opportunities

I see many Nigerians make that kistakhere in London.

Long throat can kill…….. the man will nearly meet his maker early if he is over 50!

tommy589:

That room possibly will be in a three bedroom flat where someone rented out a room for them as new comers . In two one or two they will get a better spacious place . While they are here they can go and inspect and meet possible landlord in person and for viewing before making payments.
That one room is mostly for people that just entered and someone decided to give them a room in thier apartment, instead of going to Air BnB .
I bet you before those children resume schooling the man must have secured a better house .
Visitation from local authorities isn't instant it takes sometime. I believe the children will behave themselves by not being too noisy not to attract the attention of neighbours.

where do you live,the worst living in Europe is better than someone who said he's living fine in Nigeria.

Please can you site some examples to buttress your point

boxypane:
That 60m na rent for over 3 years. He gets to he's school, get a good job for other bills, including house rent...Give or take, as long as it's God's direction for him, why not?

The concept of God doesn’t work in Europe. The man will suffer. And if he is over 50, he may kaput early due to extreme frustration and regrets.

I currently live in Lagos, relocated this year after a few decades abroad. I know the UK very well.

themanderon:
You may be surprised that what that 60m can buy today 150m can't buy in a few years with the way out currency is collapsing.

Which currency is collapsing?

One room in UK is better than a mansion in the zoo
