I'm sorry for the inconvenience(s)


Is Canada easier going through an agent.

I also would like to know how easy it is to transfer to a US uni from Canada (going for nursing)

My love for the states is indescribable Lol
Thanks a lot

Agent? why do folks go to Agents? why not go and apply for every thing yourself? trust me An agent will not do any thing different appart from take money from you for some applications that are meant to be free. infact Agent has no power to Authorise or influence Any form of application.

Thank God I came across this article I have been finding ways to travel out of Nigeria but after reading this article I am no longer interested travelling anywhere again

Yea bro perfect excuse.. ;

The bold part above from one of the interviewees is the reason many immigrants fail.

I can't emphasize this enough. If you're a new immigrant, STAY AWAY from people who think like this, or you will end up in lowly jobs for life.

The mentality of "this is the only thing available for people like us" is dangerous, defeatist and should be avoided actively.

bro this is very true.even in New york city some people believe the only thing they can do to.survive is a security job thus keeping two jobs,working 80hrs a week before they can meet end means...the best advice to new immigrant is to avoid such at all cost, because someone might end up liked them

Really? wow! what an optimist you are . just because it's difficult for others doesn't mean it will be difficult for you besides the OP is not accurate with his zigzag story.

No it is not typo. I receive £2700 into my Bank every Friday as an accountant. There are opportunities if you have the right skill to sell. You can realise your dream outside Nigeria if you partner with God

yes, but if you are new how would you know who to avoid and who to roll with? besides you can always find your way once you are familiar with the city and can stand on your own feet. if you know wat am saying

anytime I visit basildon road where my friends live,I can't but weep for them,I do give them money whenever am coming back home.if not for bad governance,the best place to earn and spend money his Nigeria.no too heavy taxation,easy and free movement and did they bother to tell u how they drink or how much drink is sold there? The harassment and embarrassment?

ATERI:


This is the problem: so Jean Charles de Menedes is to blame for his own execution in Stockwell? And when South Yorkshire police lied for 27 years to cover up blatant injustice, police are not to blame. Trust me, the British society is a broken society and virtually every level of it is institutionally racist. Most of us don`t know it because Nigerians only mind our own business. Did you hear of the guys that worked at the 2012 Olympics and yet to collect their wages up until today? Well, they are all from South-East Asia.

Im am seriously struggling to understand the relevance of all what you just wrote to this argument, what part of LONDON ARE YOU FROM, and why just chat about stuff you heard as hear say, who works and don't get p aid i n London?? unless you do not have a bank account.

they do not have to speak any English just point or show them what you want them to do (job) and they will do it. most polish folks do not speak any English but they manage to do all the menial jobs. anyway i am not worried about them as i am on Job seekers allowance

I see your frame of mind bro no offence, you are among the % who tie themselves to menial jobs no offence, tell me how you can tell a person who do not speak or write or understand English to administer medication to a patient, or give him an approved plan to do survey on, or work you tax return? or type up a report?Must we all be labourers? must we all work in the construction industry?

Bleh bleh bleh. Heard this a million times. If you have not been here, then shut up!

I can't be arsed to go into details. London must be the only place in the UK, nonsense.

2 million Nigerians in a country of 60 million? Story story story lol. Nigerians in UK are not more than 200,000.

True, but the city is never lonely not really. and yes information is key, like i said you ve got to know who, were, how and when to get infor. because those security guys you may be staying or rolling with have got no rellevant infor. appart from when is their next night shift and were to buy tasty cow foot.

34 years in the U.K ??
And he's still a ticketing officer in a store ??
Is that an achievement ??

My broke mum made 60 million naira 2 years after coming to America and she had a crappy job then

Bro if lying to yourself makes you happy enjoy it here

erico2k2:

Ahaha I am assuming it's a typo £540 per day or week

Its no typo my brother. I leave in the uk and have worked as a Software Engineer since 2006. I don't reside in London as a matter of choice.

I stopped working as a permanent staff as a Manager and Team Lead with Bupa. I've since worked strictly on contract bases and will not accept anything less than £450 per day from any body.

Recruiters don't have to see your face before submitting your cv to a company and you even get jobs based on references and telephone interviews without any face to face appearance. Most of the time, you join the project to fill some gaps or solve some problems so there's little room for discrimination as the scope is always very clear.

I've had contracts paying £600 per day so the £540 per day is even not the highest you can get. Just go to www.JobServe.com and search for jobs in some sectors (especially finance). I've met Nigerians earning as much as £1000 per day. So, just like you have Nigerians struggling to make ends meet here for a lot of reasons, you also have some sending all their kids to private schools (with school fees getting up to £4000 per term).

The problem I have with other European countries is their relatively low wages when compared to the UK. I'm not sure of the situation in other sectors but I don't think any IT professional will regret coming here if you know your stuff.

i am not going to mention what i do for a living as is it is not rellevant (definitely not a menial job) i was just Elaborating on how the poles and Romanians have taken over menial jobs from Africans.

and oh! i am on job seekers allowance *jokes*
