Lol. Who is Atiku to Tinubu to be demanding for his result? Nah Atiku be hin father? So you want to go to the university I graduated from for my original results? Won’t the school even ask you who you be or how your own be?

Make them release ham o! I wonder what they want to release that hasn’t been released before..

The question I expect you to ask is.

"Will you block anyone from seeing your transcript if you have nothing to hide?"

AllenSpencer:
🤣🤣🤣

You will not make heaven.

I know couples saving £1500 every month.

You guys should stop making baseless arguments.

When you come to UK and want to live in 3 bed apartment, want to drive a car, keep buying what you don't need....

You will end up spending more than you should

An average person making 1500 after tax will pay a rent of £600 (all bills inclusive) meaning gas, electricity, high speed WiFi, water, and so on included in the rent.


Feed very well with 200 and put another 200 aside for misc.

You will be left with 500 pounds savings.

Now if you have a good job in NHS or other good sectors you can make over 2k after tax... Now do the maths.

If you now have a supportive wife and you move outside London, you will be saving even more

pansophist:
When you beg your abroad friends for money, just know that others are begging them for money as well. You can only see chats between you and your abroad friend, but not him and others asking for money.

Gbam.

When you ask, you think you are the only one asking not knowing there are many people in line already.

On the average, people in UK or anywhere in the west part with not less than N200k every month in form of handouts to people in naija.

thesicilian:
Even before I saw the name of the writer, I already knew he was writing from the UK and would not hesitate to let us know that.

He is a stingy man by default.

RaptorX:
That person probably lives in Nigeria, talking all that crap about saving 50 million in 3 years living in the UK. Like you will just be saving all your money and someone else will be paying your bills for you.

Well i guess you are limited in your reasoning.

Many PEople make over 3k or 4k pounds after tax and their living expenses is below 2k. Argue with your keyboad.

uuzba:
Let's get this straight.
Western people know that Everybody needs help. But they institutionalised their helping system..
Evrybodu can get help in multiple ways. Student loans for school, credit card for business, or charity for sick/disabled people, even homeless shelter.
The family members might not help each other because they know, you can just go and get whatever help money from government.
And if government refuses you, it must be because you have a bad habit you have refused to change that is maintaning a low credit score for you. Probably a drug addict or something similar.
They also have PATREON website, where you write your ideas and people donate to help your business.
I didn't think we Nigerians can get any help from that patreon for Nigerian business. It is meant for western people for western stuff. Dollar to Dollar transactions..
So, yes they do help. But in an organised way without favoritism..

Please leave this people writing ignorantly.

How many NIgerians can save 500k after all living expenses or even 200k

YoungmcCoy56:
wassup Bro I disagree with the stingy part. i have one Oyibo Brit Woman she gave me the break down of living in the UK then i realised the only difference between living in the UK and Nigeria is the fact that you can get a menial job there which 80 percent of your salary go for tax and other bills only for you to be left with little, key word little amount. is it the little left that you want them to send back home?

haba Bro let's not be selfish please. forget the packaging and background this guys are struggling

See how people just assume falsehood. over 80% on tax and bills.

The problem is that many Nigerians living in UK have no right to work so you are bound to suffer if you are not fortunate.


Nobody who has right to work will suffer except he is lazy or picky.

adonainana:
If it was this easy, then every single married couple born in the uk would have at least £50,000 (50 million naira ) in thier savings .

And sentiments aside I’m sure we both agree this is not the case.

The uk is an incredibly tough place to have any money left after your monthly bills more less 50 million naira (£50k) saved in 3 years

It’s incredibly hard and almost impossible to accomplish things like this

People live above their income. That is the problem.

Even if you save 500 pounds every month, you are still better of . lets not fool ourselves.

RaptorX:
LOL total and absolute lies, you are delusional with this bold faced lie. People in the UK for 20 to 30 don't even have 50 million talkless of 3 years.

I bet you are writing this from Nigeria.

Calm down and stop arguing. You can save £1k(over N1M) a month if you have a very supportive wife and a good job with some overtime.

So even if it takes you 5 years to save 50million naira you are doing well and remember that people in UK live a quality life Nigerians can only buy.

Pierocash:
This is a country some people in Nigeria will sell their houses , cars , and borrow loan to migrate to. You see a multi millionaire here , doing well here migrate to UK after selling their properties, only to end up doing menial jobs to survive. No be juju be that

You people keep making ignorant posts back to back.

If you sell your properties for 50 million to come to UK with full rights to work, you have made a wise decision cos you will make that money back in less than 3 years working in the UK especially if you have a wife to join forces with.

RaptorX:
Endless mass migration from the third world have destroyed the UK and turned it into an advanced shithole.

Another lame post.

It will shock you to know that there are more Nigerians in America and Canada than they are in the UK.

And no matter how many people migrate, these western countries will always be a million years ahead of Nigeria.

uche87:
Let me start this piece with a common saying on social media. If you are in the habit of complaining people are stingy, it might be an indication that you are begging too much.
Well, much has been said about people in the United Kingdom being tight-fisted. To a large extent, I am of the opinion that this is true and could be attributed to some of the reasons explained below:

(1) Culture:
The United Kingdom just like most Western countries has embraced individualism. The system of every man for himself. In Africa, it is collectivism which simply means 'Let's do it as a family, let's grow together' You will hardly see the core Britons help each other financially. They will rather rely on credit facilities from banks, credit cards, and benefits to survive tough financial times. This is unlike Nigeria where 'billing' is almost cultural in the 21st century due to age-long systemic poverty.

(2) Littany of lies:
Some Nigerians are in the business of cooking up comprehensive and water-tight lies to extort money from their family members abroad. Personally, I have friends who have abandoned their WhatsApp accounts to avoid hearing countless touching stories from friends and acquaintances in Nigeria. To cope with the virus of lies, people in the UK have adopted a firewall to block all intrusions.

(3) Hustle is hard:
Life in the UK is historically difficult, and in recent times, things have gotten tougher for the 6th largest economy in the world due to the growing population, Brexit, COVID-19, and other issues. People work round the clock, under extreme weather conditions, to earn money and the cost of living is too high. As of 2020/2021, employees were chasing people for jobs. Two years later, the reserve is the case, even in the blue-collar jobs industry. So every penny counts. You don't want to make money only to play a Father Christmas to someone whose financial challenges might not be genuine.

(4) Taxes:
This topic doesn't require much explanation as this is a paramount issue in the UK. Any sort of comfort you enjoy in the country is taxed. It runs a service-based economy. I have seen people earn about £3,000 gross salary in a month and get a net pay of £2,300. Income tax, National Insurance, and pension deductions took about £750 which is more than the salary of a successful person in Nigeria. Rent, council tax, loan repayment, vehicle insurance, and others would further beat your take-home pay until it struggles to take you home in the end.

(5) Personality traits
Some people are naturally stingy. In fact, they even struggle to spend their own money on themselves. It appears they might be of the belief that the funds could be taken with them to the great beyond. I have a friend who has no record of helping anybody in the history of his life and he has no plan to turn a new leaf. People like these come to the UK and become hardened in the area of stinginess.

(6) People are broke:
If poverty in the world is being measured by raw cash and not access to food, the UK might be one of the poorest countries in Europe. Most people have to overwork, to the detriment of their health to make extra bucks. This is why some locals see the paper chase as a rat race and they prefer to stay unemployed and focus on benefits from the government. Furthermore, the housing crisis in the UK is real. As a family man, 70% of your monthly earnings easily go into accommodation costs. This makes life mentally stressful and frustrating.
Anyone looking from the outside is easily deceived by the glossy pictures, nice clothes, and lovely locations they see on social media. This set of people constitutes the 'God When Squad' - a popular faction in the Nigerian social media space.


Osahon George Osayimwen writes from Sheffield, United Kingdom.

Senseless post.

Stinginess is a personal thing. It has nothing to do with UK, America or any western world.

Would have made a little sense if you make it Nigerians in diaspora and not streamline it to UK cos all you wrote are applicable to most Nigerian living abroad.

MS247:




Nigeria really dodged a bullet, not voting Obi the media sensationalist and skit maker Nollywood, Social Media President

He is as unserious as his followers who know next to nothing about Government

So for Obi now, opposition is to go around and be taking pictures about acting skits..



.

I don't know how old you are but it will be extremely unlikely that you are older than me.

In my years of experience as an educated thouroubred yoruba man I have come to the conclusion that the type of people we support is a reflection of who we are.

I won't go beyond this. Cheers.

Antoeni:
Ladies stop wasting your money, this is the hairstyle men find beautiful.

God bless you jare.

But they will never learn

LagosFirstSon:
Nigerians truly wanted Peter Obi. But Tinubu rigged his way through .

But I trust the judiciary to do the needful and kick tinubu out

Naija judiciary don't have the balls

Bunch of clowns they are.

excanny:
Who made him President?

You pick a gun and declare yourself "President" and some slow pokes are celebrating criminality?

The same way some people are celebrating Tinubu who hijacked power.

Tinubu is worse. An imposter and a drug lord who clearly hijacked power in a democratic setting is the president of the supposed giant of Africa.

I'm ashamed to be a Nigerian.

Osariemen12:
I have always maintained that the monarchy system in Yoruba land is a huge joke. That's the wife of the highest king in their land having illicit affairs with commoners in the streets.


Jokes.

For more jokes, text RONU to 352.

Are you aware that the said king is late?

nepapole:
This babe no get taste.

From alaafin to portable.

Bad bad taste.

You are vague.

Every lady has a unique choice of man.

Your taste will never be the taste of another.

Live and let's live please.

PapaGee3:

There's this causal female friend of mine that likes posting my pics on her WhatsApp status with romantic captions.


What does this mean?

You just might be the only one seeing it.

Jogs1900:

Nobody will want chaos in the country.

Damnnn niggar
"Women's cruel nature towards thier fellow gender "

Their brutality and inhumane is second to non

You hardly see we men do this shit on the field

A female friend don first tell me before say the reason why women dey do expensive hairstyle nor be for we men say na to pepper their own fellow women
That 98 percent of men don't know expensive hairstyle in the head of a woman and the shocking thing is that the simple local village hairstyle called all back turns we men on

Please increase the volume.

Tinubu is a criminal. QED

Chai

When you give ministerial posts to loyalists and not to real competent people... This is what you get.

Tinubu is a colossal disaster to Nigeria.

A drug lord and con man can never rule a nation successfully.

arcis:
Keep ranting, because ur candidate is not the president, how will your respect your enemy...See, I don't care if he's respected or not, so far he's moving Nigeria to the right path of greatness...you can continue to rant for ever, that's your problem ..

Obi cant and will never rule Nigeria..

Call it ranting or whatever but the fact remains that you have an extremely smart, ruthless, diabolic and dangerous 88year old drug lord as a president who was born on March 29, 1935, in a small town called Iragbiji, Osun State, to the family of Ogunlere and was christened Amoda.

Left osun state for Lagos and latter adopted by Alhaja mogaji who latter sent him to America using the name of the late daughter of her brother with name Bola Tinubu.

And that Amoda who now bears Bola Tinubu is a drug lord who latter handed over the business to a certain E-money before venturing into politics big time and still presently controls his drug business both locally and internationally.

He has Lagos under his control and his puppet Sanwo olu is really doing his bidding in Lagos and now he has control over Nigeria.

Nigeria is under siege and only GOD can save Nigeria.

I wish una well.

gerrardomendes:
You live in a country ruled by a criminal Yoruba man just because an Igbo man is not seen as being good enough to be president. What do you have to say about that. What's the difference between Coup d'etat and Ballot d'etat. Tinubu has taught Africans that power is not served a la carte.

Nigerians are no longer respected anywhere in the world...

A drug lord Amoda now known by the stolen identity Tinubu is currently the president.

What a shame to the entire nation.

Mjshexy:
He who must come to equity must come with clean hands, the world saw the sham and evil perpetrated by Buhari and APC to forcefully install Tinubu on Nigerians who sacrificed alot to vote in a preferred candidate but had their hopes dashed, you don't expect the coup plotters to regard Tinubu and his emissaries because they don't see Tinubu as a dully elected President . Now they are planning on approaching Obasanjo to visit Niger next but i'm too sure Obasanjo will decline

If a drug lord and a con man with strong criminal mind can be Nigeria president, there is nothing more Nigeria can offer to the world.

Sonnetoshodi:
Hello everyone.

I've been celibate for 10 months. Till I had sex couple days ago.

Before that time, I saw my self as God's favorite.

But now I just feel like God and I had a quarrel.
It hurts so bad, cause it's now like I don't know how to go to him.

A week now I've not said my night or morning prayers.

Has God left me? Can we still be close?
Have I don't something unpardonable.

Please read this.... Very important

PowerOfLove:
It's well with those of us going through serious economic hardship in the country presently. This government has really dealt with majority of the populace. I understand some people are benefitting and happy with the government but what is the percentage? The percentage is far too low. You work in a private firm where you earn meagre salary and when you are paid and you head to the market, you'd just realize you haven't bought anything but the salary is gone. Very unfortunate what Nigeria has become today. Op, you are not alone in this situation. Many of us are in same or even worst. Stay strong please.

Jeffreyjunior, God bless you for standing in for him/his family. We should know that not all stories here are fake.

I believe that nobody wants to beg anybody for anything regardless of the fakeness or authenticity.

If this thread was created during Buhari tenure and now we have Tinubu who has trippled the suffering then one can only wonder the number of people who will presently be in serious need.

May GOD provide for everyone.
