NPFLADMIN: Oh...ok. My apologies if you feel my post was too harsh. Let me explain further. If your dad can find his way there, and younare still under 21, e don better for you. See...you will get job easily and be independent. You are moving out of your dad's care sooner than expected. Try to check "uk colleges apprenticeships", you will be amazed. It isna work-study program. You will go to school and learn a skill. The hours you spend learning the skill will count in your CGPA. You are gonna be paid also. Thats sure job for you. Their health care is one of the cheapest and best in the world. Think about it. You can go to anywhere. Do you know the number of career conferences I have missed because there was no visa appointment date in Naija? See...leave the man alone. He is only going to work hard for the first 8 years innthe UK. As soon as he is a British citizen, thats it. All he need to do now is to manage his stress very well. 3 Likes |

rajiedreez: Wagbayi. If anything, the restrictions on having your own business is a serious hindrance. Besides, its no joke to secure a professional job, you have to be highly skilled with lots of experience. You would be worked for every penny and its only few countries/companies that allow black men reach top managerial positions. The average salary outside IT and medicals still hovers around €3500 - €5000. Not so big if you have a big comfortable 3 bedroom flat with family with kids, you still have to discipline your spending squarely unlike in Nigeria where things are a lot cheaper. The upside is the good life and ability to acquire things you otherwise can't afford in Nigeria thanks to the bountiful subscription payments that abound. You need #100,000,000,000 (one hundred million) to buy a Land Rover defender in Nigeria but need only half of that to lease and pay installmental payments for same car in the west. Its also nice when you see Nigerianss already buying houses and letting out AirBnBs in Europe. Just know they've invested many years and toil to attain such levels but its still all on lease subscription payment. 6 Likes 1 Share |

NPFLADMIN: Why not? Chew on this .... in reality... the cost of living pretty much is based on USD. When did he start earning N1.2M? ... how much was that in USD at the time? He was living a lifestyle that needed X USD to support. Same salary .... but since then the Naira depreciated by 65%? ... which means he is earning 65% less in USD . N1.5M salary can no longer maintain his life style .... pay his bills .. maintain his car etc.... he is suffering with no end in sight.... why won't he be begging to help pay his bills? ... fuel for the generator ... petrol for the car .... fine Aba made outfits for the wife .... Gucci for the side chicks? |

Panda7: Those bankers you know are contract staff. Currently, no bank pays its entry level staff, aka graduate trainee below 300K per month. So, how would managers not earn more than 200K per month? Please learn to debate responsibly. 7 Likes |

NPFLADMIN: He's 45+, you say? Well, he's still younger than me, and people older than me sef still dey jápa. I know a few. One of them, my former boss, told me to sell my house and move to join him in the UK. Well, he sold his house (well, one of his HOUSES) to make the move. Personally, I can't see myself selling my property. So I'm still here. However, things can change. I just pray it doesn't get to the point I'll decide to leave, because it will be bad indeed. |

Panda7: Stop being ignorant, I work in a multinational bank (Head Office) and earn well above 1m monthly, then you can just imagine what the big guys in higher level earn (DM and above). Except you only associate with contract staff who earn really low. My husband works in tech and earn 7000 USD monthly, you need to associate with young people doing well in their career. I even have a friend who works in oil and gas and earns 70 000 USD yearly as bonus, excluding his salary. The day i saw his bank statement when I was helping him in his visa application, I was surprised. We are all in our early 30's. 10 Likes |
