unless the housemaid is stupid because if she is not stupid she will run away after a year. why will she be a housemaid to you in canada ? when she can go to school and better her own life ? see when you go abroad you need to leave this archaic ways of thinking behind. all that slavery you do in nigeria is not allowed in the west because that is what having personal driver and house maid is. its slavery. you tie another human beings life and destiny down for your own personal purpose. why ? if you need maid go to agency and they will give you maid who charges you by the hour. if you want car driver call chauffeur company and they will hire you driver who you will pay by the hour. thats how they do it in the west

I love the Uk, but the weather is killing me, I have S.A.D , and Manchester doesn't help the conditions. Lol

Already booked a holiday Los Angeles in February and am sooooo looking forward to it

Brov, that's an offensive word at bolded.
Why classify Nigerian home-based girls as Local chicks, that's derogatory and kinda racist

The UK is is not what it used to be with the new government and it is highly saturated

Many Nigerians here are lost souls up to no good

Some housemaids earn better than some of their employers.
A housemaid combining various employers and shift patterns, would be swimming in Canadian $$$$$

I live in UK and that's d only place I ll be able to talk about. I ll discourage, discourage and discourage you even my enemy from coming to UK. I will even beg you to stay back in Nigeria cos if you come to UK at this point in time, you are doomed. Pls, don't let anyone or situation push you to go abroad-UK without papers. What you r going through in Nigeria today ll definitely be a child play compare to what your life ll look like in UK without papers.

I swear down, if you see the numbers of Nigerians in deportation centres in UK, you ll pity these people. Some Nigerians have been in deportation centres for almost two years without committing a single crime. Their only crime is being in UK illegally.

You can't go to the bank, school, work and renting a room might even give you away to immigration. If you decide to put up with a friend or family members, you r done cos they ll only tolerate you for few days before they begin to show you their true colour. Trust me, that's when you ll now realise that you don't know what you have until you lose it.

You ll only enjoy these western world with your papers in your hands. Anything outside this papers is a suicide

Thank you dear.

Let me add something. I know at least a dozen people who have lived here for 15 to 25 years and have not visited 9ja once. I'm sure you can imagine the main reason why they cannot visit. Meanwhile, relatives in 9ja believe they are gallivanting here.

Somebody I warned about potential difficulties here if coming is not planned properly has spent over 10 years here now. No means to visit 9ja till now. Back then she dismissed my warning as not wanting to help. Not seen her kids in 9ja for over 10 years now.

in the west yes if they work through agencies and are paid by the hour. but nigerians will keep housemaid in their house lol. if you keep the housemaid in your house you have to pay her for 24 hours or else thats slavery right ?. but yeah housemaids can earn higher than their employers if they work through agencies and charge by the hour. anytime i am in your house you pay me by the hour. if you want me to live with you then you pay me a reasonable salary like say 60 thousand dollars a year.

factwriter:


No, it's not.
Once something is within a particular home domain, it's refereed to as "local".

Same way the it would be correct for an American (while staying in Nigeria) to refer to a girls back home in the U S. as "local chicks".

Not lecturing English o, just relating what I understand.

bebe2:
This is getting annoying , how come each time a person is asking for directions on how to travel abroad most pple in diaspora will be discouraging the person.

If it's dat terrible why are u still there?

You enjoy the benefits of living in an organised society, knowing fully well that naija is a difficult place to live.

Are u scared of the competition the new immigrants will bring?

Nigerians in diaspora , what exactly are u afraid off??

4dor:


How come most of the people you know have negative stories? Looool

Mcowubaba:

Nah, I refuse your logic.

An American while staying in Nigeria, don't ever refer to American girls back in USA as Local chicks.

The name local chicks was structured by Nigerians in diaspora for Our Nigerian girls resident in Nigeria.

Don't lie to yourself, anyway no need to overstretch this.
Adios!

Some people pay higher wages for the services of a housemaid.
But the Nigerian mentality, is a combination of housemaid + nanny, on the cheapest possible wage bracket, but expect the best of services & no work enhancement benefits........

When people from the village have refused to let go, it's very easy to know.........

Living abroad is not for everybody. Coming illegally is a crime. Everyone can find a way to come legally if they are determined. I come from a very humble household; but I did the right thing education wise and I now live in the US and legally make over $200K a year.

I would advise people to come here if they are ready to take the legal route which for me means acquiring the relevant skills and education. The American dream is alive and well people. I live it.

Only a fool will listen to people, the simple answer it's they are avoiding burden... They think you will be a burden, Bleep them.

Nah people like you dey end inside Deportation Camp or Jail.
Who is avoiding burden, maybe your relatives.
We are just being sincere with you.

Do you think your problems are over once you arrive in a Western Country.
What are your plans, immigration legal plans.

"Yahoo boys in Nigeria are making it, last time I came back, the were the ones that were buying drinks for me, the cars the drove were bigger than the one I used" ... Rt not endorsement

And how does "charging by the hour, or minutes" exonerate that person from being accused of slavery.

Do you know what slavery is?

Do you have any idea how many of these so called "house girls" have built mansions here in Nigeria while graduates, artisans, and technicians can't even feed themselves Three times in a day?

One of the greatest disadvantage with Migrating to West is that you guys lose touch with realities of your motherland.

You become sucked into a system that (though will never accept you fully) it still alter and destroy your possibilities of a successful reintegration back into your homeland at the tail end of your sojourn.

Well this doesn't apply to the Hausas anyway. They are an exceptional tribe when it comes to protecting ethnical originality and values.

Seanjay:




i think that is common with all of them, i have an aunt(my moms immediate sister) in UK also shes been there for the past 30yrs and she had two kids there and live fine she is even a nurse in the UK have, 3yrs ago i was processing my travelling the to the Uk on my own jeje oo and unfortunately for me she came home and was spending money upadan and claiming the boss then my dad was still alive and shes close to.
So my dad so her that it even good that shes around that have been processing uk that may be she can help so she told my dad that no problem that she is going to help and after a week or two she left for the Uk and next i will saw was a call from my aunt that i should go to UK embassy in Lagos Island to make inquiries about what it will take me to get a visa (i was so surprise that this is coming from someone that had been coming in and out of Uk for the past 30yrs) but just to do what she asked i went there and i gave her the feedback(concerning invitation and sponsorer, account details and other things) about the invitation she said our two daughter can file that for me i was happy, but to my surprise she told me to wait for a while that i cant come now that it one party that us ruling and they have strict rule about immigrant and so on, but still promise to see what She can do and that she will get back to me, na so she take do till now. after have relaxed and had used the money i wanted to use for the processing for something else, so last 2yrs my dad died so my aunt started calling me again to sympathize with me and told me that she will fulfill the promise she made to my dad but up till now i still de naija, me wey don de jeje de process my things on my own i dont even first travel comot naija go disvirgin my passport na so she take shatter my dreams.... The Funnies Part She Can Call For Africa And Assure She Is Going To Help But Thats The End You Wont Hear Or See Anything Again... May Be Them De Fear True True Say If You Come You Go Excel Pass Them And You Will Be Dragging BreadWinner With Them..
