I'm a federal civil servant, wife just got a job in the UK as a nurse. This has been our plan, although she initiated the idea which I supported especially bcuz of our kids. As the time is getting closer I'm developing some cold feet, but eventually I'm sure I will move. Don't really know if leaving my civil service job and farming business is a good idea, I don't really have an Abroad game plan yet.

what level are you on? i will say take a paid leave. when u get there find ur feet and once u do you can resign otherwise come back home for sometime then take another leave and go back there until u find a decent job there

You're having cold feet cus of the bad news people post everytime. For every bad family, there are 20 happy family bit they don't come out to post pictures and celebrate.

My sister met her husband in the same UK, she was a new nurse like your wife when she met him, she trained him in school, provided shelter food and today they have 4 kids in the UK and he's gainfully employed as an engineer. They have never had a quarrel that lasted more than 2hrs and are going strong.

You and wifey already discussed this before she applied, pray and commit your goings into God's hands and go join your wife with your kids and reunite your family (as soon as possible). Konji doesn't respect anyone.

Ever thought that you could lose your job and farm here ?
Ever thought that you could get a blue collar job within a month of entering the UK while you school?

Abroad plan: Get to the UK, enrol in a program to boost your credentials, apply for a remote job or any job you can find... Make sure you earn something no matter how little. while doing that, make sure you're studying cus dem no rate naija credentials for there.

Don't forget to get your transcripts from your university before going .

So many things are involved here which as an outsider you may not know. The woman must be extremely good and maybe the man was also good. I have seen women build houses in Nigerian while their husband is suffering in this country. Never depend on a woman, ensure you have your destiny in your hands.
you are right. It all boils down to the parties in the marriage. How much they understand each other and how they have treated each other in the past. What works for couple A may not work for couple B.
Re: Quiting My Job To Join My Wife Abroad by Bouncin(m): 1:15pm On Dec 21, 2021
Do not me leave until you are very sure what you are going to do. I repeat, do not leave! Try visiting and see things for yourself first before leaving your work.
Re: Quiting My Job To Join My Wife Abroad by Legendoo: 1:18pm On Dec 21, 2021
Overview

Very likely you will turn to house wife. As your wife provisions you, your house wife duties must increase simultaneously. Any failure to comply may lead to homelessness.

60 percent chance to divorce. The family you're trying to keep will leave you alone in the UK, if you don't deliver financially. You'd have lost everything you built in Nigeria and would most likely fall into depression.


Implementation

Get a plan before you go or don't.

Your plan is the barrier between you staying or leaving not your wife, so make one before you leave.

Something like how to survive the first 2 year's (care work, cabbie, factory jobs, customer service, retail), then build ontop(acquire skills in high demand) of that to sustain the family( high income job).

Awareness
Either way, it'll take time for you to settle and you must be willing to humble yourself before madam as you quickly work hard to level up.

Una they like this comment, this guy is clearly a muslim/Hausa. They hardly leave the country.

You're one of the problems of this country.
Why not give your advise instead of worrying about mine?
Mind you, I am married for almost 20 years don't you think I'm a bit experienced to issue marital advise?

Never too late to develop a game plan. But above everything, leave that hell-hole called Nigeria. When you get there U.K you will see how things work according to plan

Take it from me, he can't prevent her from mixing with those people you mentioned. It is left to the woman to balance things out or go the way of those who just found new 'freedon' and think they don't need a man.

tuboi:
Bro, pls move and you will not regret it….the world is on default mood cos of the pandemic…Don’t let people deceive you….Go with the mindset of making it over there and not depending on your wife…Also prevent her from associating with feminist, divorcée and people who would want to westernize her…God bless you…..

please, which skills someone can learn before coming to UK!

It’s very important to note that it will take you not less than 10 yrs to settle down to life in the UK as you have to get trained on new skill to navigate the system.
Your Nigerian certificate is useless in UK and you have to face the start reality of getting a new skills(Nursing Degree or other health related courses) and as a result settle for something that will pay your bills and rent to support your wife.
The only jobs available for a new immigrant is security and menial jobs for the guys and health assistants for the ladies, however your wife will be the bread winner until you’re able to fit in to the system.
All will be well if you have a diamond of a woman in your wife.
The choice is yours but I wish you the very best as you’re welcome to the United Kingdom.

You can leave to the UK. Never tell anyone that you are traveling abroad. Put someone in charge of your farm business. Take leave from your office. If after 2 months, God helps you and you get your feet, then you can resign from your work. But please don’t resign cos a bird in hand is worth 1 million in the bush

Why not be going there on visits to understand their life style, if you can cope relocating or not

Well even if you finally relocate there, just cooperate with your wife and don't go there to boss her

Be a good loving husband and father
Assist her where needed and happiness will be yours

don’t quit yet, just take a little break. Use the time to observe
Re: Quiting My Job To Join My Wife Abroad by Harlarty01: 2:15pm On Dec 21, 2021
My advise for you is that you take study leave for 2 years to stay with your wife while your salary is on going at home and if things are not palatable in uk.. you will return home to your beautiful civil service work... little word is for the wise...

Re: Quiting My Job To Join My Wife Abroad by Cousin9999: 2:17pm On Dec 21, 2021
You'll be fine. You have your wifey (who has a good job), and you can enjoy a bunch of new experiences together.

Go see some castles, take a lake cruise, enjoy the coast, or take a scenic train ride. London has great music. Go out and get your wife's wig sweaty.

If you're concerned about what you'll do, train in some random trade, and do that until you find the position you really want. You also have farming business experience, there's no reason why you couldn't do that in UK.

And remember that you're not that far from home. It's fast and inexpensive to visit. You (and your kids) can be there every summer and major holiday.

What if she goes with the kids and settle, while you join them later. She is lucky that she got a job and you people wont have to struggle or start from the scratch. But be rest assured that you will have to work hard for your self first to be . Its a good thing
