IbeOkehie: Don’t mind them . I have a brother in the UK packing snow and earns £3.5M per month. That’s £42M per year o. About 3.7 billion naira per year. Truth is Nigeria is a scam. Anyone that has the means to japa should do so 3 Likes |

the UK still offers a great health system and it is not expensive. It's true the Uk is expensive but with good money management skills and 'not' living in London you should be fine personally think of the positives good schools good health care good career advancement and a decent pension scheme Not sure if Nigeria can match any of the above.

FreeStuffsNG:Hateful creature. If these people turn the corner and start remitting €5000/year back home, they suddenly become good but because you are so obsessed with the idea of nothing ever painting your darling APC govt bad, you detest Nigerians running out of the country and feel you can pour out your hate on them without anyone noticing. 1 Like |

yusfaith78: Again these are irrelevant details. No matter the country, there will be poor and rich. Inequality is a given. The real question is, for the average person - where will they get better living standards, Lagos or London.....Nigeria or UK.....Calabar or Manchester? In which country are the FUTURE PROSPECTS better? I know people living in the UK, both recent and long time residents. Relatives and secondary school mates, some of who went to UK with visiting visa and literally NOTHING but the clothes on their backs. I've visited there several times and stayed for weeks at a time, even a whole month. I've visited Nigeria also and I know how the MAJORITY of people live in each place. All these tales by moonlight are very entertaining. It's very interesting to go back to threads like this from 2013 - https://www.nairaland.com/1458034/want-come-america-really-know Anyone - even rich people - who turned down a visa to USA and chose Nigeria after reading the garbage from that OP would surely be in regrets right now. Just on currency alone, naira has gone from maybe ₦200=1$ to ₦750=1$, that's just a gain on holding dollars and doing NOTHING. Like a witty guy once said on this forum, no one ever lost money betting against Nigeria Enjoy the Next Level !!! 4 Likes |

So much uninformed people in this thread. I know people who arrived in the last 12 months that have had to exchange naira to Pounds to buy basics like milk bread and eggs to feed their family occasionally when there is no work. Mostly do Amazon warehouse jobs, on their feet for 8 to 12 hours straight, Care work if they can manage to find one, remember 1000s have been admitted into the UK in the last 12 months on the tier 2 care work visa hence agency care work shifts aren't as available as before. Life is tough even for long term residents cost of living crisis and aftereffect of Brexit is just kicking in. Don't spend 10 million naira to japa, it's not worth it for a lot of people. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I won't dispute the fact that there's a lot wrong with the country, but the people i relate with are mostly into tech and we are doing just okay. You sounded dumb when you quoted $30k to $70k, are we spending $$ in Nigeria? If the money is so easy to make over there, why do they have many homeless??

wayodude: Nonsense. So my relative that just landed in UK and is already earning and sending money to Nigeria for the family in Nigeria is what? Not from Nigeria? Nobody needs a "mighty bank balance" to survive and THRIVE in any Anglo-Western country. I've seen it with my own two eyes over DECADES. There's no perfect life anywhere, but for the VAST MAJORITY of Nigerians, over 99%, the UK will give them a better life in the long run. But Nigerians always look for get-rich-quick schemes so it always seems like a loss to them. Good Luck with all that. dejavus: The ₦10 million naira is what, less than £10K, so it's VERY SMART to convert it to pounds as quickly as possible. By this time next year that ₦10 million may be worth £7K or less. Or maybe the APC will fulfill their promise of making the naira equal to the dollar.....BUT....nobody ever lost money betting against Nigeria. Good Luck to Nigerians! 1 Like |

IbeOkehie:and there it is fellas. Don't start doing drugs, else you start being a deluded agbaya, pulling ridiculous stats out of his arse like this bros here. He must think everyone lives in one thick forest in the east like him kinsmen or that the whole naija be Northern naija. Na this same naija wey everybody get borehole/well to pump water 24/7 na im bros say no get flush toilet. I lived in Enugu for a year, no be everywhere be like east wey na water tanker Una dey use as source of water bros...lol. He say less than 7% has flush toilet, I jus weak....no be small tin o. This man is obviously obsessed with dick measuring contest whether it makes sense to or not. What is more pathetic is he does this dick measuring contests with younger people. I never see this kin tin before. 50/60 yr old doing dick measuring contest with 20/30 year old, he no go see successful people in his age range some with minimum 3 houses by the time they retire, amongst other assets. No o, na 30's he go dey do dick measuring contest with...even the 30's wey e dey do contest with, no be him dey feed them o. I no just understand. You say you are okay, one agbaya wey no know as e dey do am say you no dey alright based on him standard. 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I sha know say with all your faux projected knowledge, stats and many decades in the most prosperous country on earth according to you, you still ain't worth a million dollars, making you a not so prime or qualified coach/authority on prosperity. It only reinforces that despite all the aforementioned that you allude to have, you're still as basic as they come. Lol ALSO, my paternal and maternal grandparents house still dey.

Re: Nigerians In The UK Are Really Suffering by IbeOkehie: 8:48pm On Jul 06, 2023 |
wayodude: Neither do you need any immediately transferable skills or any skills at all. I've written at length on this subject too. In the USA today, many Nigerians who arrived without immigrant visas or any skills have found good lower level jobs where they can start their journey to the middle class. I've seen this happen over and over for MANY NIGERIANS in a period of over 30 years. I write from experience. Being that the UK & US are essentially the same country, I'm sure it can't be much different over there in the UK. One other thing - conditions tend to get BETTER over time in Anglo-West nations, while they generally stagnate or get worse in Africa. That's the truth, just do a review of JAPA threads on this forum since 2007, 2003 and compare to now. 99.9% of Nigerians, rich or poor, will have better lives in the Anglo-West and would be best advised to migrate IF THEY CAN GET THE CHANCE. Good Luck to Nigerians. 4 Likes |
