Travel / Re: Family Regrets Selling House And Borrowing Money To Relocate Abroad,Now Stranded by virtue123(m): 8:59pm On Jul 31, 2023
dont mind those guys that talks about things they know nothing about.waste no time in trying to explain anything to them because no amount of explanation can bring them to speed as to whats happening here in the uk.Please save yourself the stress sir..its not just worth it....1 pound is worth more than 1k naira...what could anyone possibly talk about Nigeria that is good?




Tinyemeka:


Yeah I understand your viewpoint and believe me, that is one thoughtful consideration I've decided to reserve for the future. I look forward to retiring and spending my grey years in Nigeria, which is why we're gradually building nest eggs here and there, but the more I get used to the modest way of life here as contrasted with the loud/aggressive way of life at home, I do get doubts about whether I can really live in Nigeria when I grow old.

When I mentioned my wife's case I only listed that as one of some examples of the drastic change in circumstances that has occurred in our lives since we moved to the UK.

I do beg your pardon if I come off as sounding like a brag which honestly is not my intention but rather an attempt to convey to you the peace of mind that we feel since we moved vis a viz the constant assurance of power supply, clean water supply (we don't even put water in the fridge but drink cold water directly from the kitchen tap at home. It blew my mind that such level of water cleanliness could be maintained all the way from the water purification plants, through the mains and to all the homes). With regards to home security, fences are mostly about 4 feet tall, with shrubbery for privacy. I've never locked our gate before and so many times we've forgotten to lock our front door and go to bed at night, without any fear of a break-in. Most of the people I interact with are always courteous, are not loud and people tend to follow rules for the most part in their daily activities. It is not all rosy though, because there are some inefficiencies you may encounter but it is definitely not something you can compare to what you'd experience in Nigeria.

Prior to travelling I'd always considered the US or Canada, because of the stories we used to hear about the UK and it's notorious taxes. Well, we came in and by God's grace we've both been working, earning, paying our bills and saving enough to send home.

If I could drop some pieces of advice about relocating to the UK, avoid London if your combined household income is going to be less than £90,000 per annum. The city is designed to only be affordable to live in by the wealthy. It is also severely overpopulated which has led to increasing gang-related activity and crime rates.

I will advise that if you ever see the opportunity to come to the UK from Nigeria, grab it with all four limbs. If it's through a work visa route, that's all the more icing on the cake. Coming via the study route with a large family at once, is definitely going to create difficult circumstances in trying to settle down.

P.S: To others who say it is not possible to save additional N12.5m within a year:

NHS Band 5 Nurse salary per month after tax: £1,760 - £1,960 for working 3 days a week.
After picking agency shifts elsewhere:
£340 per day or £3,060 per month after tax (2 nights a week, 9 shifts a month)

God so kind, a couple can earn as much as £7,500 a month after tax, be modest and keep their monthly expenses under £2,000.

You really do not have to live in London to claim that you're residing in the UK. It will just drain your lifeblood and make you forget your reason for leaving Nigeria in the first place.

Cheers.

I read the part where he talks about giving more powers to the states and local governments and I am impressed.

Education / Re: DISCIPLE: Williams Uchemba Raises Alarm Over A Disturbing Trend In Schools by virtue123(m): 8:03pm On Aug 09, 2022
I may sound old school-ish.but i am a strong supporter of" spare the rod and spoil the child".
Morality and riches are two different things,make no mistake about that.to an extant,riches is not the height of success (i hope you realise this soon enough).Morality has the potentials of "elping"nigeria situation. If only parents are up and doing in in terms of cautioning their wards in respect to morality.Its as a result of this societal moral decay Nigeria is in this mess we are today,because how do your explain these sensless killings and corruption that we are seeing today? I guess you have never been a victim of this societal rot in nigeria (perhaps not yet).The survival of human existance in deeply rooted in what we teach our children.if wrong doing is gradually turning to rightness and vice versa,then alot is at stake.its only a matter of time.


LikeAking:



Wo morality and discipline help?

If it's by discipline, then u shud b among the richest or most successful men in d world now.

Guy it's about wisdom, not cane.

Every form of discipline most b geared towards productivity.

Be wise, Op!

uncleck:
A friend gave me the task of getting a Tokumbo Corolla for him and I have been on it for few weeks now. In this assignment I've come to realize that Corolla is now more expensive than the following vehicles:

Toyota Camry
Toyota Highlander
Acura MDX
Nissan Pathfinder
Honda Accord
Etc

It's just crazy!!! How can I pay over 3 million naira for a 2003 Corolla? How? I've told him I won't continue in the quest unless he makes another choice.

But why are people so in love with Corolla? I know that the car is strong and reliable, but it's definitely not the only strong and reliable car out there. When we were still in school, whether you scored 70% or 100%, it is "A". So if Toyota Corolla is good at 100%, there are still others that are good at 90%; both are good.

In place of Corolla, we still have Honda Civic, Mazda3, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Forte, Nissan Sentra, Camry, accord etc. They may not be as good as Corolla, but they are definitely not too bad. My opinion

Contructive criticism is a check and balance mechanism in democracy,take that away, what you get is dictatorship..

Some pastors can be so overbearing. Kukah and Oyedipo are so partisan when it comes to criticism of this government.
They hardly pray and suggests any meaningful things to the government.

as someone above me said.you need the services of a pharmacist.he can help with the registration and documentation at PCN, after both of you have been able to agree on a common term.the standard space between one pharmacy to the other is 200m.
it's a good business if your location is in a good neighborhood. good luck
