[quote][/quote]HAHHAHa I really now sabi say I no suppose to dey discuss with you  grin you see your problem? the English call it 'hasty generalisation'. How you quickly conclude say I dey live with oyibo? simple because I wan go look beans  grin Na wah for you o, for your information I'm married to an Mbaise woman with 2 lovely kids (i see some chicks face done change) and secondly, I have just been wasting my time chatting with you about these whole thing because I realise you probably haven't travelled out of Naija before so how can you argue your case better than someone who has lived in both Naija and UK? Infact i sure say the only oversea wey you don go na Cotonou go smuggle your used car enter Lagos  grin cheesy

Why bring Bankole into this issue?
We all know that corrupt politicians are partners in crime with the brits.When a corrupt nigerian politician steals money he runs to the UK and puts it in a british bank and the brits keep watch over it.No doubt had Bankole escaped maybe he would have shared some of the proceeds he stole with the royal family as a sort of kickback.
Are you indirectly saying our leaders are fools? grin grin My brother tell African leaders that the time has come when they don't have to steal because if they don't steal British govt no go help dem keep money, If man no go ashewo house e no go catch gono! grin

The queen is very rich and just imagine them spending all those tax payer"s money lavishly on the wedding of Prince Charles"s first son.From what i heard she"s two times richer than Oprah Winfrey.
Tom28 wise up, the queen[b]is not worth a billion dollars![/b] Lots of Nigerian politicians has more money than the queen so if you no sabi sabi now. Dangote is over 6 times richer than the queen and come to the grand son's wedding, only the money paid by TV stations alone to get a stand is enough to host the wedding!! talkless of supports from friends and well wisher, Abeg make I leave una focus on Djokovic Vs Baghdatis match and make I go look my beans wey dey fire  grin grin

I am not interested in living and working in the UK.Do you think i am ready to spend my hard earned money on an old woman?(the queen)
i really don't understand the beef you guys have with the Queen of England! do you think she makes more money than the Sultan of Sokoto? or Ooni of ife? or do you she makes as much as common house of rep members? check her worth, she is not even worth $1 billion which what bankole has as pocket change having served as speaker for less than 4 years!!

Srtikes occur on a routine basis in the UK and if its not about the airport staffs going on strike about increase in their wages then tommorow it would be teachers going on strike on issues regarding their pension.All is not milk and honey in the UK so pls stop trying to decieve those nairaland users living in nigeria.Many nigerians in the Uk are so worse off that even some nigerians living in nigeria are ten times better off than them.Tell me whats the point living in the uk if u spend more than half of your heard earned money on the royal family in the form of taxes and cant save any for yourself? And if your healthcare is all that pls explain to me why many Brits complain about how messed up their healthcare system has become.And by the way Boko Haram is only terrorising the north and talking about armed robbers of course there are lots of armed robbers in the uk as well and the most pathetic of it all is that most of them are black.PPl get robbed and murdered on a routine basis in the UK and the Uk has been unable to solve the crime upsurge in their country.What of the case i read about a nigerian family who was attacked in their home by a group of gangbangers that lead to the death of their 16 yr old dauther.Pls be honest and agree that all is not well in the UK.Most of the ppl who are well off in the UK are the crooks and the footballers.Yes if u are a footballer the Uk could be heaven for you but if u not then you have to struggle through your nose.
How many times have you applied for visa? grin talk true

Not until the day that I will go to Nigeria and my friends and family will dash me money instead of beg me money, give me their clothes and shoes instead of emptying my bag, ask me my problems instead of telling me theirs, that I will agree that Nigeria is better,
Most Nigerians even in the abundant of wealth still can't afford to call my phone in the UK comfortably without saying 'I no get credit abeg call me back' as if you make free calls  grin Nigerians are always friend in need but they forget that gone are the days when a friend in need is a friend in deed nowadays a friend in need is a nuisance friend  grin

Every 1 keep complaining about UK. To me the best job you can do in Uk is football. I think there are other cities in Europe one can relocate to or Canada. Language barrier would be a thing, but why work for the queen ? Who she be?

If the poster earns in Naija what he earns in UK, he'll do better. 50,000 pounds in about 12.5 million naira tax free. The money you spend for tax would even be far more than what u spend for petrol. Lol
So I take it you prefer to work for Bankole and Ibori instead? grin cheesy 12.5 million and make sure you hide from kidnappers o

Honestly, I think it's down to an individual to make that call, whether to move to Nigeria or not. Personally I would recommend that the OP visits for about 6 months to test the waters.

On the issue of the OP's finances, I will encourage him to seek the services of an Independent Financial Adviser/Accountant here in Britain, because with an annual salary of circa £50,000; you should not be having financial difficulty EXCEPT in a situation where someone is living above their means. Don't get me wrong, I'm not accusing him of this BUT I have seen quite a number people here (esp of African origin) living and spending like there is no tomorrow.

It is high time everyone understands that the 'West' is undergoing an austerity phase one way or the other. IMHO the government of the United Kingdom is starting to address its financial problems by setting a target to limit the country's overall debt. Surely this will hurt for now but the long term benefits outweighs the current pain.

For those advising that the OP relocates to Canada or the USA please think again. The problem is not about relocating anymore but about how prudent you are with the 'little' you have. The time has gone when we only 'see' Hollywood in the movies, this is 2011. wink The danger about relocating for the slightest reasons is that it may leave you with no roots anywhere. Think of a tree being uprooted every now and then, when will it germinate properly and bear fruits?

Finally for those that think the UK is the same as Nigeria, I have this to say: Despite the current financial climate in the 'West', the basic necessities of life are still provided for i.e. Shelter, Electricity, good roads etc, even the unemployed are catered for. Is this the same in Nigeria? And please stop judging the whole country based on your limited experience in Peckham or other parts of London, there are beautiful and good looking cities across the land. When the BHC issues you a visit visa, please try to maximise the opportunity and see all the countries of the UK. Thanks.
Tictac, God will never stop to bless you, Please tell them

Tell me why most of the Nigerians who are well off in the Uk are crooks?
Tom 28 it really shows that your are bias already and if I may ask what is your definition of well of? is well of living in mansion and driving plenty flashy cars? I'm sure that is your definition of well off, Have you ever heard of Scotland? it's the oil city of Europe, we have loads of Nigerians there working for oil companies both as expats and as local staff and they are living well

They can afford to send their kids to schools without fear of strike
They can hang out without fear of bomber like Bokom Haram and Robbers like the Aninis of this world
They live in houses with low fence and no burglary proof
They earn decent salaries and get paid every month
They go to hospitals for free and some has health insurance if they want
They live in houses with constant light and water
they can afford to buy what they want and if they don't have money they will go to bank and get loan not minding that they are not British
They prefer racism to tribalism
And  for the single Nigerians here they can even take a woman out without fear of no cash as both party will contribute towards the bill
And lot more

I know is good to have debates like this but we should cover our faces in shame!! I'm surprise that people have the gut to compare UK and Nigeria! abi am I dreaming? there is absolutely no basis of comparison and again the problem with Nigerians is the fear of the unknown and inability to take risk.
Is UK all about London? There are loads of cities in the UK and all I see here is London, I live in Aberdeen UK and damn! Uk cities are evenly developed not like Nigeria where it's only Lagos and Abuja. if you must know the British fore-fathers worked hard to get to where they are today and what did our fore-fathers do? sold us to slavery and till today we are still enslaved to our leaders, looting and stealing, Political killing and oppression in Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Libya, Egypt, Gabon, Angola, uganda, Togo and infact all over Africa.

No light
No Job
No Road
No Education
No health care
No life
No welfare
No leadership
And yet you people still have the gut to compare Nigeria and the UK, common abeg my people make una wake up

What good life do you guys have in the uk?
Many of the nigerians i have seen in the uk are as broke as hell and the only ones who seem to be comfortable are the ones who engage in crimes like internet scam and drug traffiking.Yes the Uk is the hotbed of 419 and many crooked nigerians flood to the uk like ants to sugar and make it large while the law abiding ones suffer.Apart frm that the nigerians in the Uk are being stalked all over by white skin heads and crazy jamaican gangsters.Take a look at the number of nigerians who have been murdered in cold blood in london by carribean gangs.And to top all that you guys give out almost all your hard earned money to the royal family.The way i see it the queen and her family are just feeding fat out of you ppl.London is not all that and frm what i have heard it is quite a dirty place with refuse all over the area.Jeez London is looking more like the lagos of old.
My brother don't be deceived, honestly the money that the Queen makes in a year is still by far smaller than the money Bankole stole in a month, that's Bankole alone o, I never begin mention names like Ohakim, Ibori GEJ, and so on. I have lived in Nigeria, Russia, Libya, and in few other Middle Eastern countries although they all have their various problems but none of them can compare with Nigeria!! I currently live in UK and what murder are you talking about? The number of Nigerians murdered in the UK in the past 10 year is still by far lower than the number of Igbo's killed by Hausa in 1 day Northern Nigerian riot, not to talk of Boko Haram, Millitant in PH or abi na Armed robbers? where is Bola Ige!
I used to work for an oil company in Naija so no think say I dey jones when I dey Naija, Believe me we need another Moses in that country to lead us to the promise land!!

cheesy cheesy The Uk is such a funny place.You work hard all day even in most cases having three jobs just to sustain yourself and at the end of the day you give out almost 96 percent of your wages to an old woman who calls herself the queen in the form of tax. grin
Which one do you prefer, work and earn money then pay tax and have good life in return or Work, no salary and borrow money from people to watch the politician like Ibori moving your money abroad?
No road, no light, no leaders, no police, no hospital, no school, no work, no wife material, but instead we have politicians that make no law but earn fat salaries and sleep with all the small small girl, share HIV around

In fact try and sell your british passport if you have any and you will be surprise how much people will be willing to pay!

Nigerians!! We are too greedy, What is Mr poster's problem? You live in UK and you have a house and you are earning good money, is that not enough? what else do you want? You want to move to Nigeria because you are paying tax and blah blah blah but you forgot to say you go to hospital for free!!, light 24/7, better education system, no lecturer strike, No police brutality, Haba eyin omo adamo. Wetin una want? Okay I will suggest you move to Borno state and Boko Haram will be waiting for you!!!
My advice for you is this, be happy with the little you have and enjoy your life and leave the rest, But if you chose to move to Nigeria, I will suggest a mini prison to you as a house with correct burglary proof and high fence but within few years few wise men go knock your door come collect dem own share from your London pounds wey you carry come and if you call Police, I sorry for you because till date police still dey find who kill Bola Ige grin

Mr Ajayi was feared in those days but thank God my dad had to arrest and lock him up and that obviously set me free grin grin Imagine a man so wicked that he flogged me then 10 years old boy in class one, 24 lashes just because we were making noise and I happen to be the one that spoke last when he walked in, the bastard decided to flog me 24 stroke of heavy cane on my yansh. I fled but on getting home my parent sent me back to school with swollen back and yansh.
2 days later the same Mr Ajayi flogged me 12 strokes again on the same yansh but this time because I went near someones locker who claimed his book got stolen and for that reason without seeing the book on me Mr Ajayi concluded that I stole it, Unfortunately for Mr Ajayi, he wasn't aware that my dad was the police boss in the town, So this time I went straight to the police station and you can guess the rest, it wasn't until Mr Arogbofa (the Principal) came that Mr Ajayi was released from the cell and from that day onward nobody dare touches me omo olopa grin

For me I think he learnt his lesson so I won't punish him but I will just get him to watch someone flog his grandson 36 and ask him how that feels grin or worst still I will flog him the 36 but I just hope he is still alive because this matter don tey well well
