In as much as what she said happens but it doesn't stop you from calling. If they ask you and you tell them your own situation too. I have friends in UK and they have this mindset too that when you call them you must beg them for money so they keep their distance and i don't even bother because i am not a people chaser. If not for the bad leaders who have made this country difficult why will i want to japa. Some of them once they get there they cut off from everybody here in Naija. One once said he doesn't want anything to do with people from Nigeria. It was so funny even that one of our friends also travelled there and he refuse seeing him because he does not want anything to do with people from Naija. Oponu them dey forget say na all of us suffer the suffer 2 Likes |

Don't worry, just continue your attitude because a day is coming when you will get a problem that money can't solve and that time you will be depending on that family in which you don't pity. 3 Likes |

[quote author=humberjade post=118840405]I get the frustration, and I know where she's coming from. Although life abroad, at least developed abroad , is far better than Nigeria's, in terms of social amenities and availability of jobs, but when you begin to do plus and minus, you hardly have anything left. Most developed countries aren't built for you to save at all, you earn, the system collects it back. Okay let's do a quick calculation, let's say you have a 2500 euro job. By the time tax and insurance are deducted, maybe you will have 2000 or less left, depending on the tax level you are. You pay bills, say 400-700 euro. Service your credit with let's say 200 euro per month. About 1100euro is left. So let's say you spend 250 euro on food, send 200 euro to your parents, and let's say you budget 300 euro for two kids. Let's say you spend 100 on miscellaneous, and you discover you have just 250 euro left. God forbid there is an emergency back home, or God blessed you with 3 or more siblings. And then you still have friends who are in need too back home for naija. Phew, nah die you dey. Shey you can see that the money is finished without even buying cloths for yourself or flexing. And even for you to make the 2500 for example, depending on the kinda work though, you go don work your bones off; 10-15 hours on the jobs, 3-5 hours(depending on the no of jobs) navigating your way from home-one job- 2nd job-back home. On top of it, less than 5hours of sleep each day. All these are even worse during winter. Imagine all the scenarios up there playing out every month, which is the case mostly, when exactly will the person be able to invest and secure his or her own future.? Imagine things going sideways, and the person gets deported, same set of people will desert her and even mock her, saying, "as she go, nah him she come back". Men are even built to withstand stress than ladies, hence, some get to do up to 4 jobs, but ladies, hmm. On top of that, if you give person 10k or 20k for naija, e go still dey vex, dey downgrade the money. So for those who are saying chop alone and die alone, it is not all bed of roses out here. If you no do am with sense, you go see say 10-20 years after you don dey hustle for abroad, you can hardly account for your labour, and your life still remains the same as when you relocated. That's why people just slump and die anyhow out here; stress and pressure. Nah the emotional blackmail come worse pass...imagine a naturally kind person, chai, it is finished.

uuzba:Exactly, folks here think it is all rosey for those in UK for example. In reality, you have Nigerians doing well in their business or profession, but the bulk of Nigerians are hustling. Most times while in the UK, when you call people that you are in town, they first hide, because they don't want to to see their level or wonder your objective, if you want to seek favors form them eg accommodation. Infact it is when you convince them to show and they see you are OK, before they get relaxed. My recent trip, the night security at the hotel was obviously a nigerian, as strolled in late at night niggar started asking me stupid questions if I was naija and if my name was one omo Ibo name, that he meet one fellow earlier that was looking for another person. Some crappy story like that, I just looked at him, shook my head and walka pass to the elevator. Obviously he could not believe a naija person will Lodge there and for so long. Bottomline, is that the kind of person someone in naija will be phoning to send him money? Someone that is hustling when others are sleeping. Things are hard for most folks over there jare. 3 Likes |

Lie lie woman, you cant pick their calls because you re not doing well, you are ashamed to admit to them that they sacrifices they made to send you to UK was in vain. You re not studying the course you got scholarship for, you re not even doing a decent job. Dont blame you, after all which daughter wants to admit to their parents that they re permanent tenants of some brothel in the UK. |
