Sandra734030:



You have been on many threads ranting! I must say you talk too much for a MAN. Telling people what to do… Honestly you really need to rest uncle. Same way you created a thread 2021 Jan telling people that they are wasting fortunes. People would rather take their chances in a sane society. Keep your energy for something else and allow us breath. You are not in any position to tell people what to do. From your conversation you feel you know what’s the best for another person and it’s really disgusting. If it’s your decision not to travel then it’s fine but coercing others into taking same decision is really annoying and yet people keep correcting you but you are still not getting the point. Rest in Jesus name and get something else to do with your time
Please my people if you wish or have the chance to leave the country and you have resources please do.

thormywa:
the so called Solatium is in Nigeria here ooo

ensamy:

I had a 2.1 at one of the top Federal University in Nigeria, 4.2/5.0 and a scholarship at the UK university I will be attending. what was your grade. I know you are intelligent and smart. If you like I screen shot my certificate and show yours.

thormywa:
Are you currently in UK?

ensamy:

No, you are still being negative, I was thinking you can atleast mention quality education if nothing else for sure.

ensamy:

Ok good, now talk about the positive side of the japa movement to the UK. Is everything negative as some of you have been portraying. If everything is negative why are we not seeing crowds of Nigerians and other nationals running back home but the movement is still ongoing.
So positive side...we are waiting.

hosey:


Lol. Another thing many of these guys don't know is tax. Once you earn above 50000 pounds, your tax rate will be 40% of your revenue.

So no matter how much you work, the government still benefits. This also includes self-employment.

Most of these people thought this is Nigeria where they do not pay any tax. They also dont know that the average salary in the UK in 2022 is
£29,600 per year. After tax and national insurance you will be left with £23,768. This means that after tax you will take home £1,981 every month.

pemilabelle:
Please can anyone suggest the fastest means (bank inclusive) of making tuition deposit.
We have barely two weeks left to bit the deadline.

Thanks for your anticipated response.

giselle237:
Working unending extra hours and night shifts is NO WAY to earn. It means you sacrifice your personal time and quality of life to make ends meet. So those who do "locum" and earn in "millions" please....

The moment you work and earn more, you cross your tax threshold and lo and behold 40 percent contribution PLUS National insurance. So your take home salary rises by peanuts.
And the amount you give away to the tax system is painful.
Stop speaking from outside and throwing away the baby with the bath water.
How things have detoriated and inflation has gone up in recent years is pretty insane. Look up any news outlet.

If you ask the average worker… when was the last time you came home on time or left work and did not feel knackered? they can’t say.
I'm yet to meet a person in my field who is sincerely sincerrrrrrely "happy" in the pure terms of it with their decision to move to the UK.
And those who convert money and say its worse back home, well then also convert the cost of petrol, bread, bills and the amount you pay for everything.

Just do not be highly expectant is all the fellow I believe was trying to say… he was triggered by someone giving away 26 million Naira to migrate with his family to what he feels is ‘unchartered waters’
Is he right? I do not know.
Guess what, there are lots of people who left a year ago on your Tier 4 and made these same shouts on this forum, where are they today?

They have perhaps learnt by experience and are no longer chanting same songs. Truth is, it is not as meets the eye but please by all means everyone is welcome to come to UK. It is a lovely place definitely.
May the land favour everyone.
My opinion. Thanks for reading.

FactBoyz:
My prayer for them is that they thrive and grow in Cyprus

bola01234:



You go wise up..
That's why most of them always talking about online way of making money..offline line u are taxed..
Pls guys see something in what he's saying

Gloriyah:


I think people just feel your message is to discourage them me I understand your message ,the Uk is not bread and butter the struggle there is real but I think people are okay with the fact that the system is somehow favorable and your replies are kinda rude.

okonja:







Like I said, “Average IT support” who is working normal 37.5haaaaaarrrssss per week. If he run night & weekend shift, he’s surely making more than that. Na you wey know wetin carry you go Uk go know how to double your hustle to pay bills till you stand on your feet gallantly.

One with multiple streams of income won’t even feel it. I have an acquaintance in Manchester charging £1k daily as a business analyst.

All these you wrote won’t matter if you strategize well before leaving naija.

Before embarking on this japa process, I had enquire about cost of living and job opportunities, these pays a high role in considering planning of expenses, before choosing schools in these regions, it not just all about applying to any school, but being strategic about it.


Bottom line is, IF you are an IT professional, that’s serious with his career and has a goal, you will never suffer or regret your movement to UK.

Gloriyah:


We get your point but everyone ,me in particular want a system that works and Nigeria doesn’t have that. This is 2022 and we still haven’t solved the issue of LIGHT or it the police harassment or kidnapping.

People just want a better life ,nobody said going to the Uk would suddenly make you rich like bill gates or that you won’t struggle.

They just want a better working system and I can’t blame them for that.

toyolax:


With all these bills you stated above, a lot of Nigerians are in the UK thriving and doing great things back home.

I know a graduate who worked in Nigeria for 35 years and was able to build just one bungalow and doesn't have a car till today . I also know a non-graduate(Nigerian) who's has lived and worked in the UK for just 8 year and has 10 houses in Nigeria and two in the UK and also changing cars like handkerchief...this is the type of story that drive Nigerians.

OgbeniOptional:
Who asked for your opinion?

M

toyolax:


Bros, you're now sounding like a broken record...how dare you compare security in the UK with that of Nigeria? Between January and now how many people have been 'unnecessarily' killed in Nigeria and how many in the UK? No country is completely safe but the security situation is at the lowest ebb.

bola01234:


I have one sad story that might justifiy some of your stories

My nephew got killed last year.
He was stabbed 9 times but u know why ...he was involved with the gang.

But the thing is this..I have other cousin who are doing well..

He was brough to Nigeria so he could change but that's his own story. May his soul rest in peace.

When d uk government tells u that one parent must be at home with the kids..they know what the are saying..

When they say students can't work more than 20hrs..they still know what they are saying...
Bring your partner when u are coming..
They are thoughtful u would would need support.

So what ever this man is saying..
Don't shove it under the carpet

Prepare for the unexpected.

Emarvel:

Young man be civil with your response, and learn how to pass your message across without insulting anyone.
The best comment you should have made is just to advice people not to have too much expectation, as it's not always greener on the other side, depending on the life you're living here already and not you trying to discourage people.
Stop discouraging people, i came across a thread on Nairaland here in dated far back 2008, a man was telling people not to leave, that the country will get better soon, so you tell me since 2008 as the country progress or retrogress?? If you don't want to leave for reasons best known to you, then don't discourage others and please stop derailing the thread

Malory:
This one will not learn from others. Keep your marriage out of social media. Later now we will be hearing that the husband is a two seconds man

Emarvel:

Atleast they won't be bomb on train while travelling, neither will fulani herdsmen kidnap them and ask for ransom, should i list many other benefits for you?
Why are you so bittered, you and your cohorts.
Everyone have their reasons for leaving, you think Everyone want to become Elon Musk? That's your own mindset,before you talk down anyone, ask them their reason for leaving and ask them about their present condition now.

okonja:


Well it depends on your career and your goal in life.

An average IT support earns 150k - 250k per month here which practically finishes without savings at the end of the month BUT same IT support can earn as low as £3k - £4 k per month.

Let us assume 50% goes with all expenses including tax, £1,500 - £2,000 balance remaining will make you know this process is worth it when you convert it to Naira @ N780/£ and duly enjoy basic amenities you are been taxed for.

cbn4main:


Which best is in Nigeria biko? Do you knw how many doctors and nurses who have left Nigeria within the past 12 months? All public universities have been on strike for sometime now. Most professor are even leaving.

I strongly disagree with you on your statement "na poverty dey drive everyone".
Presently, my boss with all his money and wealth has been in the UK with his wife for 4 months now in pursuit of PR. Him too dey poor abi?
My former emplyer's children all schooled in the UK. Still poverty abi?

This over N30m wey pesin like me wan use japa (family of 4), would you also say na poverty?

My dear, I still maintain that if you have kids, the best thing you can do for them is to give them foreign citizenship (like Uk). Nothing is guaranteed but take the first step fess

abeniagbon:
How will a sane person allow his wife's junior brother to come for holiday only to turn one of the guess room to his permanent room...

I have asked my wife many times when is your brother going , she will tell me not to put mouth in her family matters..

It getting annoying. Okay I got him a job at a filing station only for him to turn it down, said that work is not good enough for him ..each time I got back from work is either I see him hangin pillow in between his legs sleeping or chatting on facebook with white women.

I don't know who to report him. I don't know how to deal with this kind of issues... My kitchen had no peace ever since when he is around, even my bathroom cos he bath all most 4 times a day.... He gives excuses both here and there and this is making me to hate him the more...

Please I don't know if anyone had been in my shoe before, how do you handle it... ??

ensamy:

Perfect answer, even if they spend N100Million as long as those children have a better life opportunity and quality education, it worth it.
For example if Elon Musk had stayed back in South Africa all this years would he have been who he is today I beg it worth it.

Pray4meJC:
For privacy reasons, I'm an old nairaland member.

About 22 / 23 years ago, a classmate in secondary school lured us into the act of masturbation. Few days later, I started practicing the act and eventually ejaculated after tough stimulation lasting almost two hours. It got to a point I was almost getting addicted doing the unclean act.

Thereafter I graduated to pornography when internet was just starting in Nigeria.
I went further to committing adultery and fornication in the heart rather than with the body by peeping on girls and women having their bathe all to fulfill my lustful eyes. I even watched couple have sex by peeping.

Even though I have stopped and repented from these like 12 years back, I still find myself struggling with other bigger problems called wet dreams, unusual erections and wormlike vibrations in my body and sometimes body freezing at night for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

These wet dreams occurred 2 - 3 times in a week and repeat same in like manner every week compulsorily throughout the year and go on and on the following year. I have gone for several dry fasting and prayer deliverance to no avail.

I don't see myself having sex in the dream when these wet dreams occurred. Sometimes, when the wet dream is about happening I'm conscious and try screaming the name or blood of Jesus but it seems am just very powerless and before I know it, semen has spilled out and I will remain like that. Sleep is distorted and all efforts to sleep is impossible.

Sometimes, when I go to bed early by 8PM and I get caught up by wet dreams by 9:30PM, it means sleep for that night is gone completely. I sleep maximum 2 hours daily because this stuff has messed my mind and life up.

Whenever I lie down to sleep, different uninvited thoughts start forcing themselves on my brain both those that happened today and the ones of years ago. I always try deflecting them by replacing them with bible quote or singing praise to God in my head.

I woke up since 2:30 am today with a wet burser soaked in semen and started typing this because I couldn't no longer sleep. Afternoon sleep is very impossible for me as it has never worked for even 1 minute

I'm greatly troubled and worried because I read my bible and pray before going to bed. I dream about my former schools etc.

As I speak, this stuff has rendered me financially devastated with millions in debt. Could not obtain university admission 19 years ago, brain can't simulate, not married, no kids. Very recently this year my health (details withheld due to family members who might find this posts) is suffering as I can't do anything to earn a living as I easily sored tired in the heart.

PS: At night, every day for all these years, uncontrollable strong erections will suddenly start building up whether I put up underwear or not and I think this is more than the 'morning erections ' science talks about. This is pure spiritual manipulation for me. Same thing happens when I get close to some females whether matured or underage, stupid uncontrollable strong erections suddenly pop up without any sexual thoughts whatsoever to these innocent females. Unfortunately, these arousal is also a problem because it inhibits low self esteem, shame and quick withdrawal from whatever discuss I'm having to avoid the bulge being noticed.

Lastly, a year before I got myself ensnared in all these evil activities, I was already developing memory loss and a single headache that almost took my life prior to all these. The headache can be best described as "sawchain and hammer " tearing the skull to pieces and lasted for hours and resistance to drugs. That was the first and last time I experienced such and any other for that matter.

Where do I go from here? Depression is real when solutions are being defiled.

How true is this? I saw on NIS website that passport renewal is of two categories: expired and unexpired validity. For unexpired validity (passport with more than six months validity), you just need to state your reason for renewal.
Mine hasn't expired yet till January 9, 23 but I need to renew it to process study visa permit.

AnikeTTC:
Please house, this what I received following my application to.one of the schools (Anglia Ruskin University) on my list.
I studied Accounting in school and I have both a HND, PGDM and MBA Financial Management.
What could be responsible for this rejection?
What can I do differently?
Can I possibly apply for another course in same institution?
I still have others that I'm awaiting their feedback, should I apply for other courses?
