Says who?

They are but they're not actively advertising and recruiting Nigerians (no poaching again).

However, if you reach out to them with your credentials, they'll assess you and give you a placement of qualified.

Glad you shared this experience...It's from a place of self-REALisation and a starting point of solution.

YOU and I know the solution to the issue at stake; MOVE!

But how?

All you need is the COURAGE (which you already have but inactivated) to take the bold step.

You need to believe you're an independent mind capable of creating your life, happiness and future.

Apparently, he has no hold on his essence for living and livelihood as a man. No drive, no passion, no joy, no happiness. There's little or nothing you can do for a such man, except for him to find his groove first as a man. He's got to live his life before attaching value to living with and loving you. So, he just like you, need SELF-LOVE, SELF-BELIEF & INDEPENDENT HUMANITY.

Perhaps, he feels you are without options but to stick with him despite all his acts of irresponsibility you've permitted for years. He feels you'll constantly need him. He feels you needed him in marriage and all. He has overestimated worth in your life because you have subjected yourself to the toxic relationship for years.

Due to the value of time and resources invested in the relationship, I understand it might be really difficult for you to just announce your divorce or separation from him. But I will advise you start by mirroring his communicative actions - do not initiate communication with him for days and weeks (without prior quarrels). Watch if he reaches out, if not, you then should RUN FAST without looking back because you're in a relationship with yourself.

I worry because you've permitted a lot of his irresponsible acts in the relationship cum marriage for years and your brain may have learned to be cool with those. You need to UNLEARN FAST for redemption and happiness to set in.

Please try getting a community of trusted people to support you (mentally and spiritually) through this phase.

I'm sending love and hugs...Best wishes.


Justagirl01:
Hey guys, please bear with me for this is going to be lengthy, but at the moment I am at a crossroad. Had to create a new account because of this.

I met my husband in 2012 while I was serving (NYSC), we were first friends before we started dating. We started cohabiting in 2013 and we had a lot of issues from family to money management to cheating to gambling to fighting to breaking up several times and getting back, I will spare you guys the sordid details.

He lost his job in 2015 and since then he has been gambling. He does other things on the side like writing which doesn't bring alot but the money goes into gambling. I reported him to everyone I felt could speak to him because this was destroying and taking a toll on our finances, all the times this was happening, we were not married. Please keep in mind that I wasn't the best of persons at the time, I used to be throw my fists at him, fight with him in the middle of the road if I get triggered, our sex life was dead because emotionally I was deeply unhappy at the turn of events. I kept talking to him and wanted him to do better because I believed he could only if he just applied himself.

Our last major breakup we had was because he advised I should further my studies in the UK but I refused chasing the process because I didn't have the resources. He promised he was going to support me but he didn't have a job and on several occasions he has left me hanging in some financial situations in the past so I wasn't interested in starting what I couldn't see through. All of this was in 2019. While we were on and off, he tried other relationships and I tried too but I loved him so much so I kept going back to beg him whenever we had issues. I couldn't move on. After so much back and forth and heartbreaks, and from the frustrations I got from fighting women off him, I decided I was going to move on.


When I decided to start the process of travelling to the UK, we were in the middle of a breakup, I pleaded with him that I want him to walk this path with me, and since I didn't have enough, he could come along as a dependent so he can work the balance of my fees while I concentrate on my studies, and that since he didn't have any tangible thing doing, it is an opportunity to start a life and start earning something again. At first he was reluctant, I had to plead with him for weeks before he finally agreed to do so with me. His fears accordingly to him is that he doesn't trust me because I am erratic.

Fast forward to 2020 April, i got admission, sold alot of my stuffs, and travelled. Prior to my travelling, I had sent him money to do his passport and pay for marriage in Ikoyi registry and money for clothes as well, he didn't do none of it, and couldn't account for the money either. I got to know this a day before the so-called date that was fixed as I came from Benin, thinking I was getting married the next day but in the morning when I woke him up for us to get dressed, he said the wedding would not be holding. To cut the long story short, I had to pay for a fast track wedding a few days to my leaving the country.

I left for the UK this year January in the hope that he'd join me latest March unfortunately he hasn't been able to join me. He doesn't have the resources to fund his trip either and I can't fund it because I still have my balance tuition to pay. Since I got here its been one quarrel to another. I can work to fund his relocation after paying off my balance tuition but I feel he doesn't love me as he's willing t walk away at the slightest provocation.

I feel so alone, I don't feel loved and it has been like this for the past years. When we have a quarrel, he shuts me out, never takes my calls or read my messages. When I call those I think can reach him because I have tried to reach him for days, its another round of anger and shutting out. I am just really unhappy because I am at a loss at what to do at the moment,

Do I just move on? I am super stressed from trying to clear of the balance of my fees, thinking of how to sort out my life after school and I am navigating all these thoughts alone. I fear that nothing will change because our relationship has been toxic due to the kind of pain we have caused each other. I am willing to do better and be better as I have always said to him but on a ground that he will make conscious effort to be bette. I fear that when he comes he might continue to gamble or probably go AWOL on me if I offend him as this is what he does all the time.

I just need advice. Even though I am married, it doesn't feel like it. I don't feel loved or cared for, I don't feel like I matter to him. Emotionally, I am very very alone. He can go days or weeks without speaking to me when we have a major misunderstanding. I just want some peace, oneness, love and transparency.

I don't know of any WhatsApp group.

However, you can read from page one or a couple of pages backward and you'll get the crust of the processing.

You can then ask questions for further clarification.

It'll take some time but it'll be worth it.

First of all I would avoid London. Staying 2yrs in London and paying nearly half of my salary for rent and another fraction for bills, with no assistance, largely kept me out of this group for months. I lived from shift to shift and nearly got my back broken, only to get home to be reminded that food stuffs is running out, and cable was giving a resuscription warning. I couldn't cope for long. Despite sticking to Amazon prime, and using only charity shop, the permutations did not balance.

I got a job up North without discussing this prior and informed my family that they could stay back if they wanted. Obviously they ran along. I still pay these things but its a fraction of what I earn, so I don't mind at all. All my expenses is not up to the rent I paid in London despite increased wages

The Midlands would be a place to look at, places like Stoke on Trent, Sherwood forest, Black country, Lincoln etc are all cheap but run down areas compared to the big 4, there is also a flux of Nigerians there, with Nigerian pastors opening ministries too. Pay 10% of your income to these dudes is at your discretion, I guess most are hustlers on suits. On the borders of Manchester but still in the Midland is chesterfield a very nice place too.

If you move toward Manchester avoid the city centre. Areas like Boston, Preston, the Pennines etc, is like living in Mowe but claiming Lagos. These would probably be cheaper than living in Manchester.

The north of England have some very affordable places too. Ranging from places like Scunthorpe a near shot hole, to Bradford that is filled with Muslims and blacks, but are both affordable places to the very deprived Hull where Doctors are paid to train. Leeds, wakefield, Sheffield are all big cities from the Yorkshire point of view but are quite affordable. I would avoid York itself if it
you want to save money. While it's beautiful, and heavenly to live in, its cost of living is close to London in some ways. There are other largely rural areas in Yorkshire, people own 2-3 horses here, and a lot of farm lands, things are pretty cheap and organic.

You can live in Newcastle, Sunderland, middlesborough and it's surrounding areas with a fraction of your income. Those areas though cheap are quite cold and you cold end up being impregnated by your husband every year in a bid to cure cold, and end up with more child care bills.


I could write about Essex, but I found Chelmsford expensive but beautiful to stay in.

Lastly let the one true guide lead you to were you will find comfort and peace

But I would avoid London, Cambridge, oxford or the other big 4 as a rule of thumb

Please, what location(s) is advised for a newly wedded Nurse about to relocate to the UK?

Spouse is a junior-level data analyst and won't mind working remotely.

Considerations would be on cost of accommodation, transportation, groceries; friendliness of community to blacks and newcomers; suitability for raising kids - schooling.

Dear Nigerian-UK forerunners, based on your insight and experience, kindly advise on locations to target based on profile above.

You seem to be mixing up different procedures.

I'll try to explain to the best of my knowledge.

The UK process is in this sequence: Pass IELTS, Verify your NMC license, Pass CBT (OSCE 1), Search and Apply for Jobs, Get a Job & Certificate of Sponsorship, Apply for VISA and Relocate.

Note 1: You can write CBT before IELTS, however, you'd need both results to apply for job.

Note 2: OSCE is a two part test. You take the first (CBT - OSCE 1) in your home country before getting a job and relocating. The second (OSCE 2) you take within 3-6 months of relocating abroad and working with the employer. So, you can a UK job without traveling out of country for any processing or exam.

Note 3: The NCLEX is not required for UK processing. It's more for US.

4. You cannot work with visiting visa in any country.

Hope this helps.




Juddy2018:
@ Ferndof, she has finished with those things,she has passed cbt, did all the required process,and submitted,also paid for registration. What's remaining is IELTS and OSCE. So that's why I'm asking if it's possible to go to UK to write her nclex then proceed in completion of her UK process.

Sweet Jesus!

The future of the country is been invested in non-viable debts.

Borrowing isn't a bad deal, but expending the funds unwisely, as we've seen over and again in Nigeria, is a terrible deal.

This is another reason FX rates, inflation and cost of goods and services would continually spike.

It's a circle.
