Bro, I mentioned some sites to check these things.
Rightmove.co.uk, Openrent, Zoopla

Read back and you'll see someone who got a 3bedroom apartment for £700-£750 in Manchester, there are some inner city part where you won't get it at that price. You'll be having nothing less than £1500.

Just because there are apartments rented for 5M naira per annum in Island doesn't mean you won't get an apartment rented for less than 2M nairaalso It's a simple logic, rural and urban areas.

But because your friend in UK told you he couldn't get it at that price, you believe it's impossible for every other person. Your matter taya me

That's life for you oo. Take my case for example.
I worked in a very big place in Nigeria. I stayed in a mini flat paying N300k/month. Driving a 2003 car.
Many people make jest of me, infact it got to a point that I stopped keeping friends because they could not believe that's the life I was living.
I was able to save much and move my family out of the country without anyone's help except God.

I believe anyone can do anything with determination.
Don't follow the crowd.

I know a friend who got a 2bdrm house for £500 in Durham and they are fine.

Cut your coat according to your cloth.

Eaganguolly:
Bros I taya for some people too. In Enugu here, there are places you rent a flat as high as ₦1m/yr and there are places you can get for 400k/yr which is still nice. You live you life according to your target. Everybody can never be the same. If what you what is high life you go for it while the other concentrates on other things which is their target. Am sure some people in UK have money to buy car but did not buy while some bought and later they will be complaining of tax that comes with having a car. Did the English government force you to own a car? You want to live big so you pay for it.

Bro, some of them wants to stay in an area where things are happening or living close to other Nigerians. That's where competition starts from and they unknowingly spend more to live up to expectations. SMH

Dharmie02:
I think rent is cheaper up North of England. Meanwhile, a lot of people just see England as the whole of UK. Northern Ireland is a cool place from my research, cheaper cost of living and of course will have its own challenges. My 2cents

Now, my questions to you.
1. How much will you earn per month after tax as a couple working full time?
2. Give us the breakdown of your monthly spending.
3. Include the location for clearer picture.
Then, I will believe you.

alphabbey1:
That guy is obviously sugar coating the real scenario. Lol, "comfortably save 28m" in 2 years ..
Reach there first... You will know why people just use UK as a stepping stone to better countries....

N 300k? How will you save that as a family with kids in Nigeria.
The reason why most people can't save in UK is when they start to compete with their unreasonable fellow blacks. Is it by force to show off?
You are in a foreign country, so all your mind should be how to save as much as possible to invest in Nigeria for extra income and not living an expensive life.
Wo, I'm tired of these people

Eaganguolly:
You have a good heart. Those put up unimaginable fictions to discourage others can only succeed where the person is not determined. Even if people save £800 monthly whether as a student or couples, it is still far better than Nigeria. Does students earn in Nigeria including those running phD program? How many families can boast of saving ₦300,000 per month after expenses?

Are you telling me a couple working full time can't earn £1,500 each here?
Even with £11/hr and 40 hours a week. It's realistic.
Not to talk of a professional job like Scrum which pays better.
You guys better wake up from doing all these menial jobs.
Professionalism is the way in UK.

Modified:
Change your location if you spend too much on bills. My 2 cents

emperorlaqrin:
Honestly I just ignored his analysis because it only shows that he has not been to the Uk before hence his imaginary figure.

Here is a screenshot of a response from @justwise on a related question

This is a public forum. You should know better.
Check those sites I mentioned

emperorlaqrin:
Where in Uk do you live jare bros

It's now I agree that Nigerians are special breeds of people.
Why they keep exaggerating UK to discourage others is what I don't understand.

dupyshoo:
There are 3 bedroom houses for £700 - £750 where I live in greater Manchester. Loads of students there as well.

That's his Nigerian mentality bros. They are many here

henro757:
Why call him a clown? he might be very right, U have not asked him the location,

Exactly. It's easier with couples

Eaganguolly:
A close friend told me to ignore all that their noise that it is far better more especially when the couples are not students

Didn't you read where I wrote 1st year may be rough?
But you are very quick to attack without reading.
MA doing 20hrs and Dependant working full time for a year is .enough Sir.
Stop scaring people. Afterall, nothing good comes easy.

ahiboilandgas:
this how una they mislead people where is the tuition fees balance ? if 10,000 ? Where is the 700 x 2 psw visa fees ? Where is the ihs fees ? then where the over 7m Naira una take enter in the first place !.

Olodo, I am currently staying in a 2 bedroom flat and it's even £650.
Don't over exaggerate things to scare people.
Rightmove, Open rent, Zoopla etc
Anyone who wants to know better can visit these sites.

alphabbey1:
£800 for 2 bedroom apartment .... see this clown. Tell me you've never been to UK without telling me you've not been to UK

For clarity.
The lady is the MA, while the man is the Dependant.
MA can only do 20hrs, but Dependant can work full time.

sketcherJ:
you people keep saying dependent. Dependent means he won’t be able to work over there right? Or am I wrong? Please enlighten me if I am

Now you get it.
All our Naija people want is quick money.

ogawisdom:
Wow

This is interesting

This is worth it by far

I don't know why Nigerians in UK has launched a campaign to discourage ppl from coming.

Most people in Nigeria earning over 500k monthly can't save 28m in 20 years self

Imagine if the couple can save 1500 to 2000 monthly?

Pls check my comment

How do you want to make 3k with a student visa ?

Anyway you can only work for 20hours while your wife work full time. During your schooling period you both cannot make 3k after tax and neither can your wife do a double job so the 3k is not visible.



Ok please can you put a figure to what is realistic. Assuming we are ready to work like mad, hustle with any job available. Or may be the wife should be the one on student visa to allow the highly educated husband hustle for a living.

A family going on a student visa may experience a very rough 1st year due to the fact that only one spouse works full time as the student can only do 20 hours.
2nd year will be okay when both spouse works full time. Even the worst is both couples earn £1,500 each after tax = £3k/month.
House rent PCM - £800 for 2bdrm apartment.
Groceries - £300 maximum.
Bills (electricity, water, gas) - £200
Internet - Home and mobile - £50
Transport - £200
Miscellaneous - £150
Balance = £1,300.
That means the couple can conveniently save £1,300 every month provided it's a low job o.

Save the £1,300 for 24 months (2years) = £31,000 that is 28million naira.
You can now take it to Nigeria and invest in something good for yourself. That's another income without working.
Now you get it

Sorry oo

Treadway:
understanding simple things keep flying over your head, so far.

Gingko biloba lo le shey o

Thank you oo.
His exact motive is what I don't understand

justwise:
He is just jealous of those who managed to make a decision to leave Nigeria. Who in his right mind keep record of 200 people he knows suffering in the UK?

OP, please tell us exactly what you want us to do.
To me, it's obvious your comments are discouraging.

I will only believe people like you until you can mention at least 5 positive things about UK.

I don't know why it has become a problem for an adult to take a necessary decision about his life.

What type of citizens are Nigerians? OMG

£2k = N1.7m

koife:
Dude 2 pounds is urgent 2k na, nja no bad reach laidat

Also, tell us about what you are enjoying in UK na.
Abi na only bad part you wan dey tell us?

If you are bored, then come to your Nigeria for holidays. With just £2k pounds, you'll scatter everywhere.

Another one

I'm not surprised, though.
When all they care for is social status, what do you expect from such a home?

The number one rule in marriage is "Women to submit to their husband" simple.

It's obvious OP visa applications has been rejected several times, hence the agitation about travelling.

Bros, is it your japaing? Wich kain wahala be dis

SpecialAdviser:
So the big question is "Where is the IGR going to?"

Bro, not just insanity. It's a spiritual attack

mycar:
Bishop David Oyedepo was right, How can one continue to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result, that's insanity.

I beg you in the name of God. Please replace that "sound mind" you wrote there with a "BRAIN"

Gentino:
So Labour Party is now Igbo party no longer APGA? You can't be supporting APC and Tinubu and still claim you have sound mind.

Same Buhari who pardoned ex governors jailed for corruption

ecolime:
He is not found to be corrupt is not the same as NOT CORRUPT.

I can't wait for another party to take over from APC so the hidden rot of the last 8 years can be uncovered.
