Tip1: I read all pages of the thread and digested, I took screenshot of every scenarios to avoid posting questions that are not necessary here.
Tip2: PLAN! PLAN! PLAN! yourself well before coming down. Have some funds that you can fall back on for feeding and rent before you get a Job. Thanks to my friend who has been accommodating us.
NB: We've been here for +1wk, I have applied for over +120 jobs here in aberdeen and outside. "Unfortunately, we can not proceed with your application this time, we have too many applicants.... bla bla" This line became the norm, lol.

Observation: Aberdeen if so full with limited jobs.

This is not to discourage anyone coming down to the UK. I am just sharing this based on my own personal experience as i am still optimistic to get one. I am ready to move outside Aberdeen to put my head above the water, if you are in part of the UK, and you have any job opening, please help a brother. Reach me via mail (flukeman@gmail.com). My naira don dey go down .

Cheers!!!
