I did some reading about nursing and was targeting it for some family members because of job security but personally I am not impressed with the salary mainly because I see what their colleagues in the US are collecting. It is shockingly low in UK for the effort needed

STENON:
"Extremely slow" Same thing I was told before moving here but the truth is Scotland is more than what most people presume it to be . In Scotland, life is easier and comfortable for raising up kids and having good family with moderate and comfortable lifestyle. London is more expensive and easier to spend life savings for paying bills

A couple of colleagues in my cohort are now Band 6, so there is opportunity for growth.

I guess they joined at Band 5? How long did it take them to get to Band 6 please?


[quote author=Soknown post=95690823]I left because the neighbourhood is very expensive and it didn't fit into my long term plan.
@Symbae, what say you?

Symbae:
Okay. Thank you, if you have got any other options please do let me know

Our environments say a lot about our level of development. I think that its high time Nigerian governments at different levels should start making conscious efforts towards development our states infrastructure as well as its aesthetics.

Enugu is one state that has sustained their efforts in this regard. We also want the residents, landlords and tenants to go a step further in making our cities in every state to be beautiful. We love beauty.

This is just one spot in front of the government house Enugu. The only people that are deceived are the ones that doesn't know Enugu

The first wife Ifeoma Orji Uzor Kalu nee Menakaya niece to former Health minister during OBJ's first tenure Dr Tim Menakaya is the person you where referring to. She is the mother of all his grown up children including the first daughter that is married.

He married this one celebrating her birthday during his 2nd tenure as governor.

Why are you doing 100 MPH? Maximum allowable on motorways is 70 MPH.........

No go collect points for your virgin license o.....

The sensation you feel whilst driving a Lexus is very different, hence the simplicity and ability to push the vehicle, and the vehicle urging you to put your lead foot down....... The automatic gear change sequence, does it so simply and silently, like witches are aiding the change.........

Lexus, the pursuit of perfection..........

Relocation most times is not about the money. Some get good jobs some dont. But nothing beats staying in a system that works, good health care( buhari amd family use foreign health care imagine), good opportunity to change careers etc. You are also guaranteed a good future for your kids. I have not met any Nigeria regreting since i came here. This is me coming home at 11.30 am last week without any fear of my safety. Nothing beats that bro

DEBUU:
May God help you Sir. Remember us who are still new in the field if there is any opportunity. God is your strength.

Hi Symbae, thanks for your kind words.

If you want to live close to the hospital, consider - Earlswood estate ( Expensive though) or White bushes. The two locations are within walking distances to the hospital. A little farther but still within walking is Salsford and areas around Earlswood train station ( Brambletye, St' John's road, Earlsbrook road and woodland road). Otherwise try around the town Center with it's easy access to bus, taxi and train. If you are not a 'spend-shy' like me, try Noble house on Queensway. ( a two bed room is about £1200pcm). You can also consider areas around St' Anne street, really nice neighbourhood, or area around the catholic church going towards Holmesthorpe or Park 25.

Do not go towards Merstham unless you can drive. Also I will not advise going towards Linkfield lane, it is deserted and dark at night because of the trees.

Reigate is cool but expensive unless you are extremely lucky, I had someone who got a two bedroom flat at £900, She was really lucky.
Horley is also close-by.

Letting agents that you can use, Woodland and may be Connels. Do not use Andrews, Leaders and another one close to McDonald's.

If you don't have your family with you, consider a room share.

You can search through, spareroom.com, rightmove.com, zoopla.com, intolondon.com.
Please view wherever you choose before you pay.
Start searching on time, give it time. Don't rush.

By the way, Halal shop, adjacent to McDonald's sells African food stuff or you can go Taj shop in Crawley close to the County mall. When you settle down, you can go to Croydon, Peckham or Dustin to shop for your Nigerian food stuff.

Welcome and i wish you a fruitful, happy stay.

You demanded for #EndSars, the FG ended it and proposed SWAT which exists even in your worldly paradise, America. You insist no former SARS will be part of SWAT, the FG agreed . Yet you are still on the rampage setting hardened criminals holes up in correctional facilities free. Abeg wetin you want? I support the FG on the use of lethal force, protests are no licenses for anarchy. Let FG clear them all.
