tensazangetsu20: i won't suffer greatly. i have houses in different cities already in Nigeria. still running business bringing 1m. bur converting this money into pounds pays only rent doing extremely well. bought those properties by the grace of God. but disposing any more properties now? i can't. A friend wanted to start same journey last week. but i told him honest opinion to back down.... give him detailed analysis all i have gone through. so coming here is to warn Nigerians not to embark again... its no longer promising as before 79 Likes 9 Shares |

Natbrowny: honestly a lot of Nigerians paint good about abroad... letting others fall to the deadly trap. i have 3 friends who told me i can make it. even chatted many on WhatsApp groups asking about the situation they responded that's what they do.. they work to pay. but honestly many of them took months to get this job... owned landlord fees that they dont rent to student again. before paying my fees i, i asked two pm trusted friends there.. if they are sure of this. they affirm. but on landing they started telling me on how they pack whitemen shit, dirty stuff.... menial jobs.. even i accepted my fate and started applying. but up till now no show. 20 Likes |

You spent 13 million to Japa to UK.. now see your life, no job forthcoming for you. I won't pity you cos I know your type love going about condemning Nigeria at the slightest opportunity you get, thinking the grass is greener over there for you. Experience is the best teacher.. this one will teach you and many more like you to appreciate your home cos 'no place like home'. 51 Likes 7 Shares |

tensazangetsu20: That 13 million he spent to Japa to UK would have set up something tangible in Nigeria which if managed properly can grow in a space of 5-10 years into multi-million naira investment. We have agro processing bisinesses begging for investments yet our youths keep rushing to pay UK government and their universities millions over certificate they might end up not using.. what really is wrong with Nigerians?. 71 Likes 10 Shares |

fullclub: Don't worry too much.. some are currently selling off their homes and properties to raise money to come and join you guys over there. Maybe you guys will form association of trapped Nigerians in UK and be soliciting for help from those at home. I hope you find job soonest though.. it's just paining me how people especially Africans are burning money just to acquire abroad tailored degrees designed to advance abroad economies. 49 Likes 2 Shares |

fullclub: Wait o... Have you tried all those easy data entry jobs that they pay up to $20-$25 per hour? I don't think you necessarily need experience to get them. Just have a good CV with all the description of the job and you should be able to get them. UpWork is also there. Setup a profile and apply for editing / proofreading jobs. I hope you have a system. If you have challenges designing a good CV that targets each job you want to apply, I can help. Basically, you have to present yourself like an expert of some sort and learn the things around the expertise you want to exploit. 13 Likes |

fullclub: Omohhhjjj These oyinbos really want to wreck Africa. They will do anything in their capacity to see that whatever money we get from them through crude oil sales finds it way back to them. We sell crude and buy back petrol more costly from them. When they come to school here, they can do it virtually cheap but when we are to school there, you will have to virtually sell the family house to fund the expenses. What about their football league? Most companies like DStv are always at the brink of bankruptcy just to get a license to broadcast their leagues. Hitv went broke due to this. The transaction between a black man and a white man has never favoured a black man for once. They always outstrip and loot us. I checked flight ticket for a family of 4 to Canada for vacation and the cheapest flight was 8m and goes up to 10m. Just flight alone. Omoh, I no go even try am. My mama go roll for inside her grave if I try am just for vacation. We are not even talking about permanent relocation or study. 63 Likes 5 Shares |

Taal17:why do you guys enjoy prolonging argument? How many people in Nigeria have 40ml in cash and assets combined. The number is less than 5%% out of that, how many are going abroad then compare this to the number of people in UK. The simple fact is that 98% of people in UK are hoping for a job to pay school fees and the op is saying it is not worth the expense 63 Likes 7 Shares |
