marylandcakes: Get their own place but struggle to pay tuition. That's the angle I am coming from. Do we have to let our family and friends suffer when we are in the position to help? Edit: I just read your other posts and I see that you are speaking from the hurt of past experience(s). What strikes me from your stand on this issue is what I have come to see might be the problem with Nigerian hosts, such as mine (story for another day) You complain on one hand about "entitled" guests and here you are with a reportedly well behaved one, but your reaction is that the person should move out, thus defeating the purpose of seeking accommodation with you in the first place. Meaning you are not in support of helping regardless of how the guest conduct themselves. Hian! 5 Likes |

TheGuyFromHR: We saved only on rent which is actually the culprit. I bought groceries and chose a utility I paid throughout my stay, even continued to pay for a couple of months after I moved out. I am proof that you can make up a sizeable amount of your tuition if you don't have to pay rent. So, if you are lucky to find someone to accommodate you, don't ruin it! Suck up to them, don't react or complain about their hostility, don't even acknowledge it and manage them so they don't change their mind and send you packing in the middle of winter My point is that guests and hosts should be able to work around minimising/tolerating inconvenience. Guests especially need to be considerate and read the room. These UK people don't want you in their space, so you have to behave yourself and be a gracious guest till you can get on your feet.

inphoenix: Truly if guest do behave themselves , it would encourage our people to go down this route of hosting but the ones who behave themselves and are appreciative are in the minority hence the root cause of the problem. 3 Likes |

I think one of the reasons why we're not moving forward as a country, is just because we failed to support and love ourselves. Over years, I have consistently observing lifestyles of minority communities in UK like Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladesh & few Chinese just to mention few. Most of these communities will bring their brothers from their various countries staying with them assisting them in selling their petty business on high streets. I visited one of my Pakistani course mates during my undergraduate programs, to my astonished they were visually 6 people living in a single bedroom flat with happiness and show of love. An average Nigerians in UK have competitive mindsets, they always see friends and families as competitors. Let love reigns. Help if you can and say No if you can't. Nature will always lifts those who are willing to give arms to fellow beings. To those bad wagons you'll all soon be Baba & iya London! A word is enough for the wise! inphoenix: 8 Likes |

Kukujajaja: You hit the nail in the head! You need to see the twinkle in my host's eyes the day I told them I had saved £6000 towards my tuition. That was the day hostility started. But me? I just pretended I didn't see it and continued to play my part. I didn't even bother to involve anyone. No family member got to know, because I found out that raising concerns about hostile treatment would be termed "being entitled". I just sucked it all up and put all my efforts into maintaining a cordial relationship. It remains the hardest thing I've had to put up with in the decades I've spent on earth, but, na me know wetin I dey find. 14 Likes |

So Nigerians in Nigeria are not competitive? They are even worse. You need to see how Nigeria is to know that the problem is just not about the Nigerians in the UK. Is it the Nigerians that will help you build invisible houses in Nigeria? Can Nigerians serve the person they are staying with the way Pakistans serve themselves? A family friend got a loan for a fellow Nigeria to pay for her PhD. Till today, she did not pay back 1p. So the attitude is not just about the Nigerians in the UK. Kukujajaja: 7 Likes |

marylandcakes: Whatever the case is, let go. U have disowned and there are disowned. We all are different even though the default mood of a human is to be wicked. So because of these, not all of us can go the extra mile to be nice, we have to go out of our way to be nice. It takes something to be nice. You cannot keep talking about it if it is causing you pain. The use of words like "these people" is not needed now. Just focus on your area of strength and move on. |
