Soccrates:
The mo'fucker should stop making it look like japa is a bad idea.

This is a case of badly planned japa.

.

Fact oo.

Japa is good but make sure its a calculated n planned one.

Some have zero plans. Sell property n japa n expect to pick dollars n pounds on the streets.

Many idiots

DesChyko:


That's not the point. The issue is they're driven up or downwards based on dollar fluctuations and availability. The issue here isn't the exchange rate (many thing determine the price here). It's influence. Ever wondered why we pay more for flights overseas than our neighbours despite having the larger market?

Flight ticket is something else entirely. We are being extorted by the foreign airlines.

Dollar fluctuation is not an issue here jor.

As Una dey scam Oyinbo dem too dey scam Una with Visa charges too ..😂

They planned to abandon their studies and not pay the balance of their school fees. But the new UK law took them by surprise. Many are like them in the UK right now. Some are lucky, they have switched their visa before the new law. Even those that switch without paying for their complete school fees should watch their back.

Trump was born in 1946. The definition of 'shithole' as 'a terrible, dirty, poor, or low-quality place' was first recorded between 1930-1935; over a decade before Trump was born.🤷🏾‍♂️

It's not by throwing insults around, dear boy. You need the brains to go along with it. 🤗

Hope you've ed for the webinar? Let's see if you can be good at one thing😉

Airhead. I know EXACTLY when you Moro.ns began using the word ‘shithole’ to smear Nigeria, and it was after Trump the racist KKK champion reportedly termed African nations “shithole countries”.

A criminal, fascist, neo-nazi racist thug with no morals who is under 70 felony charges in the US as we speak, is whom you learnt the term from, to describe your country, because you are a bunch of stupid, self-hating peabrains drowned in inferiority complex and lacking in basic common sense and dignity.

Let's them come to Zimbabwe better than the UK

Wisdom they say is profitable to lead.. most of so called japa geng aren't wise one bit. How will someone use two legs to test the depth of river in this present day and time?.

The first thing I ask myself is.. Are there jobs over there abroad, if yes where are the jobs?. With the current global economic downturn, some are still selling off everything they have acquired in Nigeria to go and face uncertainties in foreign lands.

The option they have is to either die there in UK or relocate back to Nigeria and start afresh from nothing.. Experience attimes is the best teacher.

I no travel again

Family regrets selling house and borrowing money to relocate abroad, now stranded and facing hardship

Akinwande IdowuJul 29, 2023

A Nigerian family with five children regrets finding themselves in dire straits after borrowing millions of naira, selling their house, and car to fund their relocation to the United Kingdom.

The family embarked on this life-changing journey with hopes for a better future, but their dreams have been shattered as they struggle to cope with financial challenges in a foreign land.

The family, headed by a mother with a study visa, made the decision to move to the UK in pursuit of higher education opportunities.

However, upon arrival, she was confronted with the reality that she needed to secure a post-graduate visa to be eligible to work in the country, a process that required a significant sum of money.

As a result, the mother has been unable to contribute financially to the family’s expenses, leaving her husband as the sole breadwinner.

According to the woman @gloriaotikor1, the situation has taken a toll on her family’s mental and emotional well-being. The creditors who lent her money in Nigeria are incessantly calling her, expecting repayment now that she is in the UK.

However, with no means of income and mounting bills, the family is facing an uncertain and distressing future.

Despite their efforts to secure funds, the woman has been unable to complete her school fees, putting her educational aspirations at risk. As a result, the family is trapped in a cycle of debt, struggling to make ends meet in a foreign country with limited resources.

The husband’s job, though providing some income, is insufficient to cover the rent and provide for the needs of their five children.

Even if there is civil war in Nigeria and we need to relocate as a family , i wouldn't sell landed properties.

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP.ALL THAT GLITTER ARE NOT GOLD.
INVESTIGATE BEFORE YOU MOVE,DONT BE A YOUNG FOOOL.
Once we correct the mistrust in nigeria everybody will enjoy.
E.g If you collect loan to run business ,try and pay back as agreed,so that trust can grow
If you are a student and collect loan to study,work hard to pay as you can
If you agree to do a legit deal with someone secure your trust by not double crossing etc.Live sane life lets begin to trust ourselves for mutual benefits.

All I see here is "Lack of planning". Next abeg!

Hardly see a UK student Visa with Job permit unless it's post grad.

They did not consult well.

You know those type of people who keep the plans of travelling abroad secret.

It may be tough now But laslas they will be alright.

Moving abroad I still a good idea.

Stranded because it was not well planned.

Only mumus sell their properties for uncertainty.

Raalsalghul:

She didn't do her findings well.

Hmmn, I hope they get settled quickly that's the only way it will be worth it. You don't want to be stranded in a strange land.

The wife should have gone first then secure her future and invite all over

See, whenever you have opportunity to travel abroad, pls don't rejoice over it .....

Is rather a call to discipline, a call to effectively monitor your life .....
A call to make adequate planning of your self
A call to begin to realise you are entering into full planned life .....

Therefore , as for the family, what they could have done is for the Wife and husband to first travel ....

Or Wife and last born depending on what she is seeing there...
Selling off your house and car is the worst of it all when traveling abroad, except if you are going as a worker ie someone that has gotten employment over there and the employment is genuine and adequately secured.....

More importantly, make sure it is a man that is securing the job abeg to avoid pregnancy and loss of your job....

Abroad is not an easy place not to talk of UK...that you MUST plan your life well.....even the hot water you want to boil, u must plan how many times you have to boil it...

Traveling abroad is not an instant success as they always portrayed it

Afamed:
You sold a house here in Nigeria to relocate abroad where it will take you not less than 20 yrs to get a house of your own.

Oyibo JuJu don work on you

20 abi 30 years with hard labor.

Hmmm

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]

The fact that you have to borrow money to relocate, is a clear indication that you would not survive the relocation !

Honestly I do think people who do so to go to UK of all countries are direly stupid. Canada, I may agree but to ur former colonial masters; very appalling decision to japa
