You will never be rich of you japa ...you can only live paycheck to paycheck


Those doing well there aren't even 10%


Baba na lie oo UK is good if you go legally my friend sister took loan of #25m with her family and within two years they were able to pay back . Nigerians who went there legally will never tell you how much they have.

We are coming to confirm your claims. Seeing is believing. Shikena.

Humans will always complain.

No na diaper

It is rubbish money.

justwise:


So are you expecting the British govt to pay for things you used? Do you get those free in Nigeria?

If you don't want to pay bills then leave the UK and move to your village in Nigeria.

You don't pay tv licence n council tax in Nigeria

Rent isn't monthly in Nigeria

You don't pay insurance n road tax monthly in Nigeria

Parking ain't free in the uk

The issue is recurrent spending in the uk is high

RodgersAkpafu:


This thought process is wrong
And that's why a lot of Nigerians are having it bad in the 🇬🇧

If the UK is as good as you made it, why won’t one be able to recover their money in a considerably short period of time?
Why is it a wrong thought process 🤷🏻‍♂️
Or are you implying that pleasure should be my thought process for traveling?

APOPTOSIS:
The UK is now an extension of Lagos.
That's what happens when you open doors for mass influx of people from lawless countries. The probability that you gonna absorb a lot of such people is definitely gonna be very high.

How many Nigerians are in the UK compared to the Pakis and the Indians. Is Nigeria more lawless than the aforementioned countries?

Kemetian:


UK:

Unemployment
Underemployment - You have a degree but work as security guard or Uber driver.
High Taxes Depleting your Income
You pay rent.
Road Tax
Car Insurance
Water rate
Monthly hire purchase payment for your car.
Electricity rate
Heating and Gas rate
Child care fees if you are working and have kids. Nothing like ''housegirl'' there.
Council tax
Income tax
TV licence
Phone rate
By month end you're broke.

Otilo.

Only a matter of time before they tax you for the air you breathe.

Of what use is ''good road'' and ''good educational system'' when your life is crap?

There are good roads in Nigeria too. Leave your village and move to Abuja or Uyo or Enugu. Fine roads everywhere and highly secured.

What is ''sub-standard'' about the health care and educational systems? These are the same systems that have produced world class individuals in all spheres, from doctors to engineers and scientists all over the world.

A strong Iroko tree does not grow from weak roots.

Everything African is always ''sub-standard'' in your 'oyinbo' worshipping heads.

One thing you guys need to understand is that the so-called “saner climes” come with a great cost to the people there.

They pay through their noses for it.

Nigerians are not prepared to see great chunks of their income eaten up by taxes and fees, even if you promise them Dubai environment.

We prefer for things to be a bit lax if it means we get to keep more of our money in our pockets to do things we want, like building a mansion in the village, or doing Owambe, or big weddings, or to start a business.

That’s our way. We are never going to be like London and America and all these places where people are forced to limit themselves.

Agbado master… na lie lie full Una mouth.

So everybody must live in Abuja and Enugu to enjoy the basic necessities of life.

Una no Dey think well.

thesicilian:
I think I am living a freer life with less money here in Nigeria than I would have been in the UK

how do you know?

How would you know when you’ve never lived a better life? Keep consoling yourself you hear ?

Continue wallowing in poverty and ing your oppressors.

You won’t know a better life as long as you keep ing evil.

come back nigeria

Rootprof:
In all life journey is either you succeed or fail,. Never judge other failure or success with yours. There are thousand of Nigerians that japa that are doing pretty good out there. Before you japa pray about it and go legitimately to good country. Make sure things are in right places before going. Anywhere we are may GOD bless our doing.

Jandminded:


I have someone in Canada, and he's complaining the same thing.
Everybody thinks it's greener somewhere else.

To be among the rich will always be hard anywhere, even if you are in heaven.

many think all the problems of the world only exist in Nigeria, so this is common. But, Canada and US are more open to opportunity than anywhere in Europe. But in all places, you will struggle.

Commentor:


16 pounds na money?

How many Nigerian workers are earning more than £16 per hour in Nigeria?

ariesbull:

Stop lying! 🤥🤥

Again..council tax pays for services rendered to you by the council and keep the city running, you are basically paying for services you enjoy.

You don’t have to pay for TV licence, thousands don’t pay it.

If you are struggling with monthly payments then how can you afford to pay yearly?

How about moving back to Nigeria where things are almost free?

While living in Nigeria we complain about the system not working even when we pay for services, you moved to the UK where the system works and you enjoy what you paid for and you are still complaining?

Rossikk:


Many are returning to Nigeria.

You think they will knock on your door when they return?

Those who have not have every right to describe the situation there, as a warning to others, and they will, whether you like it or not.

And you don't think many of the things said are exaggerated? I am sure those who choose to relocate did their calculations well before moving an inch.

ive been having resolutions not to drink alcohol...i keep going back

drsibz66:



Who nor get money go day beer bitter, Who get money to buy beer after he don high go say I will never drink alcohol again beer nor good for my health.. BUT SOMEWHERE LIES A BALANCE . CHOOSE WHERE YOU RATHER BE..

i just weak for here..i wont live life because of children is too regretful and painful

being:
It is too much of a sacrifice to go through all that, not having a life just for a so called future of your children, raising them in an environment of very little discipline and wrong gender definitions

DiasGodinHeaven:


The African slaves will not agree with the experience ones there. They will call them enemies of progress. Some will even tell them to come back to Nigeria if they are sure that they are not making it there but they forget that many of them there don't have transportation to come back.

They don't have the means to buy a one way ticket back to Nigeria but have the means to pay their rent, feed, and other utilities, right?

Zackattack:

The very fact that you want to "recover" the money in a short period of time

That you don't even see what is wrong with this, is exactly what's wrong with Nigeria and how it has made majority of its people reason some kind of way

Mistersolar:
i just weak for here..i wont live life because of children is too regretful and painful

That's why blacks remain at the bottom

CoronaVirusPro:
Don’t let anyone lie to you! If there is no life in the UK, why are they still there?

Maybe dem no get money to come back plus shame of coming back empty handed.

Are you pranking me or what💁🏻‍♀️
Otherwise, how do you think I will get 25m naira without borrowing it🤷🏻‍♀️
I said ‘considerably’ long period of time. Recovering that money should be the least thing I can ask for if my relocation must be considered sensible.
You must be playing dumb😃😃

RosyIsBlessed:

Don’t expose it.

You need to encourage them go so they can know why.

Those who are living in Nigeria will tell you there is no life in Nigeria either because the majority of grown-up people around have no jobs, and those with jobs are seriously underpaid.

There is no life anywhere; just make sure you make anywhere you find yourself livable and life-able.
