The UK was not designed to make you Rich. It was designed to keep you running.

What is a Ghanaian looking for japaing. Ghana is good now?

Ishilove:
I can't sleep 7 hours at a stretch even if I wanted to. My body has adapted to short bursts of sleep.

Funny thing is when the money comes, one is too tired to even spend it.

I am going to go to sleep like millions of Nigerians abroad will, and I am going to wake up in the morning, because one "Richmond Mensah, a father of one, went to sleep in preparation for a night shift and never woke up. He was just 33" does not in any way mean that I, at twice Richmond's age, and who has lived abroad longer that Richmond lived, would not wake up tomorrow because Richmond did not wake up, and any one who wants to scare me that I would not wake up would need to come kill me in my sleep themselves.

But quote me to see if I died please, because op has a point that you must:

Sleep! You need the rest wherever you may be.

Eniolohunda:
So the campaign is about UK today? Sleep is luxury anywhere you live. Its only you that can control yourself and live your life the way you want it. Ask people in Lagos how many hours they Sleep in a day. Wherever you live if you don't prioritize yourself, it won't make any difference. I sleep better since I escaped Nigeria 🫣, Living in Nigeria sometimes look like living in hell. Talking from experience, sorry I know this is not what many want to hear.

MichaelTokunboh:
Waking up to pee every 2 hours is a dangerous occurrence & frequency!
That's a sigh of a weak or failing kidney.
Kindly go for check up ASAP.
Short bursts of sleep at night isn't a good thing either, your sleep cycles need to be longer.
Thank you 🙏

Everything the OP said is true. Japa is not for the weak, it's not for the lazy and it's not for those who don't have a savings culture.

I will always advise anybody with plans to japa to ensure he has a soft landing. It's easier that way, if you go all by yourself without any soft landing, I swear it is extremely difficult to save up but it's possible.

Secondly I will advise anybody on a mission to japa to have a skill that is in demand in your country of preference. With a soft landing and an I demand skill, you make it quite easily.

Grace differs, life is a risk, no pain no gain.

No sun
Odd food except for tandoori / Nigerian
Black and grey clothes all the time
Narrow streets
Tv license
Jamo-african hostilities

I didn't like it much either.

Afolue:
Life abroad isn’t a palatable experience. Too much hard work, limited sleep, limited time for one’s self, loneliness, pressures etc.

In Nigeria little or limited opportunities to earning a living. But all of the above can be overcomed.

Contentment can indeed be a wealth of nature. Many still dey [b]make am [/b]las, las for Nigeria …

PDJT:
- Come to Cornwall, and thank me later.

BrickandLace:

PDJT:
- You don't like organic food too? You must be fun at parties.

PDJT:
- I have always wondered what it means to "make am".

lightwind:
I tell you honestly it sucks here.

I am working on my relocation to the US.

Montana or Oklahoma

JoeEeL:
It could also be a sign of drinking too much water before bedtime or a slightly cold environment.

So relax. Its normal in cold countries.

akingangan:
Several Nigerians that Japa have died in the UK if not in the hundreds. Someone should research this.

Many are in mental institutions.

Many are struggling and living rough

UK is no joke.

The country is exploitative, and it is good that people are becoming more aware.

BrickandLace:
I can't even visit now because all my contacts there have moved to Canada or Australia

Nigeria is worse. While working in a commercial bank in Nigeria, i knew a lot of mid -level staff living in the suburb of lagos and working on the island. They leave their homes before 5am to start a job of 8am cus of traffic.Then going back home after COB of 5pm, they eithier wait till around 9pm to leave the office cus of traffic or just spend 3 or 4hrs in traffic. This is for a mon- friday job on a peanut salary. I am not sure of any situation in uk that is worse than that.
