Nobody prays for a life threatening illness. To make it seem like if you have the flu in america, you are doomed, is just plain ignorant. I do not know much about the NHS but i'm sure major surgeries will also come at a cost in the UK one way or another.

Nope......

If your paperwork is right NHS will pay for your boob job sef

You guys are falling my hand oo. Read well before rushing to post. No one said getting a job in naija is easy. Heck getting a job in any country is hard. I said and i repeat, the odds of you getting a job as a nigerian in naija is way greater than in the UK.

I disagree........

The mother of an abandoned child left in the bush in Abuja has turned up to claim her daughter back while begging for financial assistance.

According to reports, Favour Abdulazeez told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that she abandoned her baby because she was jobless, divorced and had no means of fostering the child.

She narrated how she placed the baby in a carton and left in the bush but had maintained a safe distance so she could know who picked the baby up.


“All along, I was monitoring the baby’s situation, I know those who picked the baby and took her to the police.

“I was listening to their conversation from my hideout, I even followed them from a distance when they were
taking my baby away,” she said.

“I told the police that I would take care of my baby if only the government would assist me with a job or a trade no matter how small,’ she said.

The Premium Times report:

Inspector Yahaya Musa, the Police Area Command in Gwagwalada, FCT, had on Friday declined comments on the matter, saying that he was not authorised to speak to newsmen on the matter.

Mr. Musa instead referred NAN reporter to the social welfare unit of the Gwagwalada Area Council for further enquiries.

Hanatu Turu, Head of the Social Welfare Department of Gwagwalada Area Council, said that she was aware of the incident.

She said the police should be allowed to conclude their investigations.

Ms. Abdulazeez was said to have been delivered of the baby girl on June 13 and secretly put her in a carton and took her to a nearby bush behind her house at night, where she abandoned the baby.

A resident in the area, who pleaded anonymity, told NAN that Abdulazeez is her neighour, adding that it was the cry of the baby that drew the attention of passers-by who later took the baby to the police outpost.

Cry me a river. Isn't that the whole point of the discourse? Work permit or not, it is harder to get a job in the UK than it is in Nigeria for NIGERIANS. END OF DISCUSSION.

for the last time NO ITS NOT IF YOU ARE LEGAL.....................

why are you trying to get a job in the first place if you are illegal and expect to get one

Chillisauce: Am not like that, only my British friends are like that!

I am not saying you are like that.......

just saying its not a British thing....its human nature

Chillisauce: I wouldn't know of statistics but talking based on personal experience. Even in place of work, the Bristish always try to be on their own. The French and US are more accommodating to the locals.

Have a drink with a British today, they still stab you at your back tomorrow. And you know what they say in Naija, if I have a drink with you, you are automatically my pally

thats everywhere

even your own blood will stab you in UK, US, naija....human nature

coogar: don't mind the ignoramus......
they hide in trucks, cover themselves in plastic bags so the CO2 detector would not flag their breaths. they try and try till they succeed!

and they keep trying over and over again till they are successful

erico2k2: Ok if that's ur opinion then you r dangerously Ignorant of the Uk Immigration Laws, try and read up what the Uk Immigration law says about people with kids of school age then come back here and tell us.if you have a 7 year Old and still not documented at this day and age you must be ignorant

True!!

A-town:
Correct me if i am wrong but don't you need the job to be legal? Where are the jobs in the UK? The same UK where jobs are vanishing?

hmmmmm

sorry sir i am confused

from the stats, are you talking about legal immigrant or illegal?

xykms101: How many Nigerians in the Uk are legal immigrants? 90percent of Nigerians in the Uk including you and your cohort on nairaland are illegal immigrants.

hmmmm

A-town:
You can't use that to Judge. We all know the main problem with nigeria is Power-Corruption and will take a while to fix. The roads are being fixed. Yeah, they still need a lot of work but lets stop being ignorant. Things are being done. The UK is only slightly better than naija from my own perspective. Lets look at it from the point of view of the economy. As a nigerian graduate, you have a better chance of securing well paid employment in naija, than the UK. Yeah, you may not make 100,000 dolls a year but you'll still earn a decent living. The job situation in the UK on the other hand is a fantasy.

sorry sir.....which roads

last time i checked Lagos-Ibadan express way is still a federal road but you can try it now its a death trap

as for jobs, if you are legal nothing stops you from going for any jobs you want forget about the pay nothing is fantasy.

AjanleKoko: You see this yarn now.
This is why it's good to try and go to school

A-town:
Slow down. Way better? I don't think so. Maybe 10 years ago. It is better but not "way-better".

still way better.....

where do you want to start from,

- the airport with no A/C
- the roads
- electricity
hmmmmmm

naijababe: Why? You want invitation letter? E go cost you small change o.

Afam4eva: Stop jumping the gun. Follow the thread properly to know why the comparison came to fortune 500 companies. I can't remember ever saying Nigeria is more developed than the UK. I'm speaking of opportunities for crying out loud.

Fortune 500 or fortune 000 dont care.just say that you know some broke illegal people in UK and you are not getting your entitlement the way they are suppose to be rolling in full stop.

Stop talking crap about the country cus you dont know squat

Afam4eva: I won't be surprised if you're a graduate of University of ignorance. Your ignorance needs a masters degree. Like WTF?

What has foreign investments got to do with a country being self sustaining, at least to a measurable level. It's more embarrassing for most of a country's investments coming from outside.

We're talking of the volume of fortune 500 companies and this one is talking of BP. Germany has 29 against Britain's 27. Stop spewing your ignorance on a public forum like this cos you don't who who might be reading.

Thank God for google....

btw where is naija on that list

Afam4eva: I can compare Nigeria to the UK ten times over. Yes, our infrastructure are nearly dead. Yes, we don't have power. Yes, our educational system is an disarray. But even in the midst of all these, Nigerians in Nigeria are doing better than Nigerians in the UK(FACT) and we're not exploited like the UK government does over there. We just need to get a few things right and that's it. The UK may have all these infrastructures but citizens use them are a very high cost. People make money but the UK government collects it from there. It's a case of monkey they work, baboon dey chop. Let's stop over-estimating the importance of the UK. Even in Europe, a lot of countries are ahead of the UK in almost every ramification and a case in point in Germany. UK does not talk when Germany is talking.

Smoking is bad for your health

slimyem: Is he a Nairalander?
