you own land in UK...your dindinrin no get part 2

If you have a house you own the land its built in the UK.
As for the bolded, this is how people who lack basic moral reasoning talk, They are resigned to their own faith and are cowed taking a bold step 2ward emancipation oneself '

I moved to america with out an education or skill
I got a part time job with ups and at same time was eligible for career choice meaning any school I want to go they will pay
I decided to get my CDL to drive a truck which pays better
After that I I found another job with Amazon full time while I’m still working with ups and hold my CDL and about transitioning to trucking department but when I got to Amazon the feeling was different

I got a whole lot more offers
Like learning how to drive forklift
Learn Amazon robotics
Learn Amazon web services and also got a career choice to choose from list of schools to advance my self and move to the management team if I want to
Currently I’m doing a bsc on cybersecurity
Fully paid for by Amazon
And mind you I’m still with ups part time
I’m planning on leaving ups and move to Amazon full time once I get my schedule changed from Monday to Friday cause my normal schedule are Tuesday to Saturday
I’ve 60hours work week and I earn 23$ an hour In Amazon while I earn 21$ with ups
Why I choose Amazon everything is automated
From picking to stowing
To packing, buffering, sorting etc
But ups is all manual and the management are too hostile but In a I love ups still cause it my first job in the US

Come to Amazon or ups and see cars small boys or 19-23 years drive and you will wonder if it a warehouse job

I’ve meet some nigeria and all of them have their own cars and living on their and doing very well

I’m not downgrading Nigeria but the truth is our leaders are wicked and the worst part their are some evil people who support their wickedness just for selfish and wicked reasons
And yes a cleaner in Amazon is doing so well than a bank manger in Nigeria
Even before I started school and all that I’ve access to benefits in both ups and Amazon but I picked Amazon cause their benefits are top notch
If you’re not a billionaire or a millionaire in Nigeria you can’t even think of having a life insurance
As I’m talking to you I’ve 246,000$ worth of life insurance which I service with just 0.34$ every week to stay updated so when I die my family will have something to fall back on
I got all this as a mere warehouse worker
I’ve not even mentioned other benefits cause you will be shocked

When people come online and talk nonsense Nigeria is better I just laugh
I had that mind set till reality set in and I moved and I thank God I wasn’t late

Here in America you can be a school dropout and still make six figures
No one is bigger than anyone here
If you like drive Lamborghini no one cares

In every country they have their own up and down but you see america, Canada, Australia, uk, New Zealand, Norway,Switzerland, Denmark, Poland, Sweden, Germany, France, Italy are better but America na the king of all

Do with this little information how ever you deem fit
Those who have eyes let them see

God bless ur hustle bro,im so glad you listened to your heart and jumped on the japa train, to God be the glory, you was not late.

cococandy:


You’re so right. Neither have I. It’s a whole ass mortician degree or mortuary assistant certification required for those jobs but we like to talk about what we don’t know .

You know, Nigerians like to talk big even when they are clearly ignorant, this i why I join conversations like this to shed a wee hope and light to those who have the means so they too don't get left behind.
You will find those who have never left their cave describing the inside of Buckingham palace or telling you the colours of the inside of the empire state building.

Ferdinandu:
Abeg this is slave mentality. You have been brainwashed to believe that life in the West is Eldorado. A place like US is Eldorado but the suicide rate there is 10 times that of Nigeria. The number of people who died of violent crimes like mass shooting, Gang violence is 5 times more than people killed by kidnapping, banditry and terrorism. Check facts and confirm. West is far better than Nigeria but choosing a low job like cleaner abroad over bank Manager is Slave Mentality

you guys read too much meaning to a simple statement, This toilet cleaner might be a starting point for most of out great leaders we have today.
Did you not see grown men selling roasted corn on the street of turkey

ednut1:
year 2000 and 2024 are the same circumstances ba. Just say you want to argue for argument sake.

no 2024 is way better, so 2000 wa a starting point of my conversation, what's yours?

Gerrard59:

When I was in Nigeria, I think the manager at my parents' bank's branch earned more than a million or 1.5M naira per month. Unfortunately, I don't have exact figures. I will ask a friend. But assessing the friend who works in one of the top banks in the country, as at 2019, she participated in the bank management trainee programme where she earned 250K+ per month. Stanbic was even paying graduate trainees 350K then (rumoured to be the highest then amongst all banks). So, now, a bank manager shouldn't earn less than 2 million naira per month, I strongly believe.

P.S. Please don't mention the naira to the pounds or dollar as those currencies aren't spent in Nigeria. Bank managers earn in naira and spend in naira.

Im not silly to ref Naira to pounds, I am fortunate to live in both countries and well equip to compare with no prejudice.
Fuel for a week cost average ofN100k in ur gen, cost Average of N100k a month in ur car.you might spend N500k on food in a month ,security might cost N60k,I paid mine N100k for personal reasons.so in NIgeria I can comfortably say to live a middle class life your outgoings might xceed N500K do you agree?

hotwax:


i have started my mama house..will soon complete it...meanwhile, im not placing her on mortgage house..

she is not going to live a fake life..paying mortgage for 35years,,,

your Aunty or friend sending money to her Sons are not going to be in a mortgaged house she is going to live in Nigerian and placed on salary till she goes to rest need to read more about mortgages b4 you speak about one so you don't come across ignorant.
This one you deyhere dey rake, if we check now,you nor even get your own house let alone building one for ur mama, everyone nah Dangote on nairaland.
make i go check your post,I dey come E get why.

Ouchbabe:

Will a toilet cleaner be told to go home on time because they are doing ORO?

Now you are taking the pyssss

hotwax:


When you are not a briton, how can you own a land in England?

The citizen cards they giving you now can be revoked later. They just need one hardliner like Trump to assume power...

No one can drag my Nigeria citizenship with me.

bross no vex ohh but your ignorance get CV.
Anyone can buy land or a house in the Uk, the Shard is own by someone in the middle east,
Drag land ahaha,anyway waht use is ur land when it is unproductive like many of the brains here

Notfogotten:



You won't even see it. Because competition for it is too high.

competition to pack shyte

paxonel:

Anyone who is poor in the mind is poor.
eg a toilet cleaner

Do you know any toilet cleaner that said they are poor, look, be definition, if you earn N400k in Nigeria you are real poor by reflection of inflation, you are living in poverty, you cant build a house, even renting in the cities is out of reach

cococandy:


You want to tell a Nigerian madam or oga that their servant deserves a living wage, respect and similar standard of living as them? You must not know us.

Nigerians are very very extremely excessively egotistical people. They want to be lords and masters over anyone around them without actually being qualified to do so.

You can tell by the way they denigrate certain jobs. That’s why they’d rather suffer than do a job they deem to be lowly even if the job solves their financial needs.

That’s why you see them on here thinking they can use “wiping bums” as an insult to CNAs/nurses abroad. As if the sick people in Nigeria are usually left to rot in their own piss and feces. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case since they think it’s an insult to provide dignified care to sick and dying people.

One person on the front page said care giving is worse than cleaning toilet. I imagine it’s the assisting the patient with activities of daily living they consider to be shameful. I’ve never seen this type of behaviour anywhere on the internet before except on Nigerian forums.

you know in Nigeria in the name of bashing japa, some are ignorant ,that's those who have the means, and the others do not have the means so just follow tha bandwagon to hating or being deliberately being ignorant. You know the same old story of washing dead bodies and plates etc? in my 24 years in the Uk I have never ever met a Nigerian who wash dead bodies,cos U will have to be paid very well too.

Gerrard59:

Not a bank manager as the topic states.

What is the average salary for a bank manager that you know, state it

paxonel:

Obviously, you are a drunk ass fellow who knows not what poor people go through in those countries you mention

Define a poor person please

lionshare:
An immigrant in the Western world whose mindset is still spending and living mentally in his/her home country will likely agree with the OP.

So where should an immigrant start?
You lot do not even realize that the English and the Americans actually clean toilets.

ednut1:
with the current immigration/job situation in uk. Many of them will return home empty handed after expiration of the 2 year post graduate visa. That uk student visa rush should not be classified as japa. Was a scam from day 1

why will they return? is that your hope or prayer for them? interpretation of what you just said is (Hating)So lets stick to the norm, her hard work and sweat will never go unrewarded can I get an AMEN?
Now I took the route 2000 and I do not rgret one sec of it.I have rose above band 8 in my Engineering field. Let me tell you something like it or not, them Sons are going to do well, get a good jb and build thier mum a mansion and get her a good car anybody wey nor like am can go hug transformer or stand in front of lagos state REd line train.

sulaak:


Stop looking abroad for salvation. Nigerians are always comparing their hard work and sacrifice to that of other nations. I am sure when millions of Nigerians were on the street protesting, you were one of the Nigerians saying that this was not my protest.

Bad governments don't change unless they are forced out. We waited for Buhari to stay in government for eight years when it was evident that he was clueless in the first six months. The same can be said of Tinubu's first day.

The Europeans and Americans fought for good governance and ensured that their governments were held accountable. How many Nigerian communities have called back their non-performing Senator or Representative?

Guy no worry stay 9ja,anyone with the means and refuse to leave or send their kids abroad 2024 like this is unrepentantly ignorant, they lack the up to date reasoning of the current state of Nigeria.

0neal:
Every country have their own territorial challenge

A bank manager kids here in Nigeria will not be indoctrinated into LGBT bullcrap acceptance, be exposed to drag-queens.

Or be arrested if he refused his Kids who has been brainwashed to transition from doing gender transition surgery.

see how you are steering away from the argument lol

ednut1:
this is 2024 not 1994. A bank manager in Nigeria with relevant certifications will get a position in banks in USA or Canada. I currently work for an American bank in Canada. All these cleaner , wash dead body talks are stale 🥱

You do realize any manager could be a bank manager. The way we view a manager in Nigeria is way different to the way we view managers abroad.
That toilet cleaner does have both a supervisor and a manager(Line)

A toilet cleaner is at the lowest rung of the ladder socially anywhere in the world no matter how much he is been paid as salary!

Nah I think a street cleaner

I am not a bank manager...but i have good banking career...i can't trade my career for any visa.

I have built 2 houses, I have 2 cars...

I am a king here...i can't go to another man's land and be squatting and tenanting...no thanks...

Yes Nigeria lack social amenities, I have my solar system, my bore hole is working fine...

Insecurity is in the north...im not there..

Now a toilet cleaner? what joy is there? sako jiya...I dey abroad i dey abroad, where is your dignity and self-confidence? shoor

Na so my mother's friend dey send money to her 2 sons in UK in the name of relocating. She is borrowing money to pay feed them there.

The sons are probably in the Uni, just give them 2 years wen they graduate and see how they eliviate thier own mama,but make we see your own mama.
Anyway, fact remains, u cant wake up 2Am to drive down to your village.
peple who clean toilets are fairly new to the country and I hope no COS in cleaning toilets.
Once them persons are settled they might do a course in industrial cleaning and might take it up to the highest level ie VIOLA

Obviouslyblunt:
nigeria belongs to about 1000 terrible leaders and not those 200 million people.

You could not have put it anymore right

Shawarmagirl:


You understand better. Some who start small as caregiver, progress and acquire more certifications that will take them to the next level.

Ofcos,Me 4 xample, After my Engineering degree in the early 2 thousands, 1st job was at Tetley's in Greenford, humble beginnings eh

Shawarmagirl:
For those of you have not not opportune to travel yet and stuck in Nigeria, you'll not understand or believe what the OP said is true. You see drivers, warehouse, security, caregiver, waitress etc earn more than branch manager of a bank.

I know of two ladies that relocated to UK before Election, they have erect mansion at their home town. They both work 60hrs weekly. These are caregivers. Can a branch bank manager able to build a mansion in one year without stealing from the bank? No!

They dont know
,What I seem to understand is most relatives who don't wanna help always paint a bad situation worse in orther for them not to be asked for money .You will see someone abroad say stuff like there is nowhere like home, he only saying that os he is now comfortable to be home.

Justdare:

Dignity means nothing to them as long as their oyibo masters feed them their daily rations of GMO. How can a reasonable person justify travelling thousands of miles to wash toilet?

I think that might be a starting point for some persons as they arrive, they might do that and proceed to the net stage, by gaining some certifications ,this is how abroad works, you don't just come in and start at the top or middle, you grow as much as you are being paid on this journey

God forbid i come across people with this mindset. I DO NOT want to know or even come across people who think like this.

To be able to live above one's means in 9ja, that person needs to engage in shady deals.
Normal salary won't do much.

ivolt:

Don't mind them.
These Nigerian "abroad" fantasists amaze me.
They would dream of a perfect picture of a country they have never visited and
have little to no idea of how low-wage workers survive.

Imagine comparing a toilet cleaner to a bank manager?

I dont think you realize that a person earning N500K in Nigeria is now very POOR

Holluwhakemmy:
May God deliver you @OP. Because your hater is a president that's why you're comparing a whole bank manager in Nigeria to a cleaner in abroad. Low IQ is affecting you

Do you know howmany bankers are here in the UK?Doctors and Engineers?I dont think you comprehend the huge return on investment you have by just moving abroad! I dnt mean it in an aggressive way but check the statistics .young man sells house N16m and sends the said amount back in 1 year .
