You make some good points, however I'm curious what you mean by hustle to the top in the UK. Yes the UK has great jobs and opportunities, however it is a highly regimented society. You cannot hustle in the UK like you would in Naij because every *legal* income - employed or self employed - is subject to for tax (even if you are a landlord for example, your rental income is subject to tax) . The more you earn or make, the more you are taxed because you automatically get moved into a higher tax band.
You have to make sure you closely follow the rules and regulations in your field. Even more so if you are an immigrant. On an immigrant work visa you are restricted in the area of second jobs, so you cant just work all the hours you may want to.
I'm just setting out realistic expectations. There is a price to pay for a society that "works" and this price makes it much harder to "blow" in the same way as one would in a society like Nigeria.

Prayer or treatments? It should be a rule for intending couples to take mandatory fertility tests before walking down the aisle to avoid unpalatable stories because I know for a fact that many men are the carriers of infertile sperms or no sperm at all but turn around to blame the women in their lives.

BreconHills:
I am not disagreeing with you that Nigerians can do great things, what I am saying is that we are not seeing Nigerians positively impacting state policy in favour of Nigeria. I can't think of one single example. This summer it was the subject of discussion I had with over 300 highly placed Nigerians in England and Scotland and they agreed that they had not hacked government policy in the same way that the Indians have done. We agreed to hold another diaspora summit next year. These are neuro surgeons, architects, accountants with the big 5 firms, investment bankers at Morgan Stanley and the like.

If you think of where the Indians were with their small corner shops and where they are now - they've gone a long way snd we need to be humble to hack that.

Most of the time these NGO and international bodies e.g Commonwealth associations are taken over by our elite who simply use it for personal access and not for the good of Nigeria.

The British Asian Trust started years ago with the then Prince Charles as patron - today its delivered including 3000 special visas for Indian entrepreneurs outside of the Highly skilled professional visa everybody in the world is competing for.

BreconHills:
I think we are saying two different things. I am not talking about reaching the height of your profession by say becoming a KC, professor or acknowledged expert. I am talking about the ability to engage with policy makers; MP and cabinet members and influenve policy in the interests of your race/group without surrendering your identity.

Most of the blacks that get there like Kwarteng (sic) Bim Afolabi, Kemi Badenoch had to dilute their blackness to get access. Nearly 90% are married to white Upper class women or men. Without doing this - access denied.

In contrast Indians still wear their Indian identity on their sleeves, still marry Indians and still influence policy in favour of indians.

That's the bridge Africans still need to cross.

BreconHills:
Why 700k. Why make that a limit

I attended secondary and university there and worked in the City- top 5 law firm. But if I am not going to make partner or managing partner, I will leave. Its not just about money and living in a new dev with a BMW. It's about being influential at the highest level.

Apart from one or two rare blacks - the glass ceiling is still there. But if the dream is for life in a new development and a flash car. Why not? It wasn't enough for me and today with every humility it's worked out.

BreconHills:
There is still a significant economic ceiling in the UK that blacks ( Indians have hacked it) struggle to break through. Sure you can leverage your earnings and get a mortgage, car etc but your disposable ( non card) i income will be weak. Finally after most have the two cars parked in a nice new development, they hit the ceiling and make peace with it. Some of their colleagues ( and by the way I am talking about two sets of successful professionals) not only do well in Nigeria but get invites into a strata of UK society that immigrants can only look at.

I won't talk about the ageing period ( 70 plus) and absence the of social support or the cleavage with their completely acculturized children.

PS: I am not talking of struggling people in Nigeria o. By all means they can japa and do any work and still have better life.

Kennyliga112:
it’s because you haven’t make the 10 million in Nigeria yet..

1Sharon:
If they have that much money they may aswell start a business in Nigeria instead of hustling and being out of place in a foreign land.

1Sharon:
It's almost like the UK born black ppl are disappearing or being bred out and being replace by immigrants. Immigration is the highest its ever been in the UK.

Import the 3rd world become the 3rd word.

Only the rich and middle class Nigerians can enjoy Nigeria.

The poor desperate Nigerians are the ones
saying japa

Why would a rich person leave Nigeria when he can afford to live with dignity.

If you are rich in Nigeria, why would you go and hustle to live in the West?

Saw this video 2yrs ago

I'm a Christian from South South. The only reason you are supporting Obi is because you are a tribal, regional or religious b'got. I'm not such. I'm supporting someone based on his antecedents, not because he is my brother. Again, I only reminded you that like Tinubu, Obi also is a grandpa. Also, he will hang on your wall as the President of Nigeria from May next year. If it doesn't happen, may I die a miserable death. Note this comment of mine

Oh he schooled in The United States of America.

Sad one!

Geminita1:
Men that do that are just dumb. I mean even if you were the most handsome I've ever seen, walking up to random women on the road for relationship is just a huge turn off. And shows how very dumb you are.

That's why I like white men. Those guys are so cultured. You will never see them running after a woman like a motto park tout "because they are too beautiful to resist" or "because they may never see her again"

Its a barbaric way of approaching women. There is something known as Circles. Join a circle of like minded people, those are places you meet people you can go into a relationship with. Anything by the road side is just for fling.

You approach me by the road and get my number through another means(cos I won't share my number with a dumbass), I'll block your ass straight up. You try to "apply pressure" I'm getting a police report. I dislike dull men.

Like, I don't even like guys staring at me on the road. Its irritating, nor to talk of walking up to me, yuck.

He was the pilot of that fighter jet that disappeared 2 or so years ago while on mission again Boko harm.
To best on my knowledge neither the jet or the 2 pilots have been found. Ie missing in action.
If I remember right, his dad was a prof and this incidence of heart break over his missing son lead to his death.

His dad was a chief not a prof

Psych412:
young boys also have hymen, white lacy skin on the foreskin .....if the foreskin on the penis slips away easily, it means that the hymen is gone. If the foreskin is sore and hard to move, then it means he is still a virgin.


I'm sure you're not in the group chat

Psych412:
another ranting post about women


ladies, please don't you ever be with a man who is not a virgin and also has a lot of body count, they are dangerous.....fear them

Kobojunkiee:
1. The Spirit of Truth aka the Spirit of God - John 14 vs 25 - 27 & John 16 bs 4 - 15 - is NOT the same Spirit referred to in Genesis 6 vs 1 - 4, the spirit who is God's breath of Life also referenced in Genesis 2 vs 6-7 & Genesis 1 vs 30 & Genesis 6 vs 17. These are completely different spirits.

2. This is obviously wrong given what is revealed in #1 above.

3. Every living creature has the same spirit of God - The breath of life - powering/animating them all. And as revealed, that breath(spirit) is only for an allotted time after which, it returns to God and the man/animal perishes afterward. Man cannot lay claim to the breath of life in him the same way plants and animals cannot lay claim to the breath of life in them.

Kobojunkiee:
1. The breath of God, God's own spirit, gives life to man's soul, and when God takes that breath out of man, man dies.
2. Man's soul is an aspect of man ... a part of that which is man.
3. Man is instead of Mind, body, and soul...

Of His breath of Life, God in Genesis 6, said the following...
... clearly indicating that breath is His and returns to Him after man's tenure on earth is over, so it is erroneous to conclude that the breath of Life is a part of that which makes a man.
