Come back home or you stop discouraging others

Beress:

Come back home or you stop discouraging others

No one is discouraging anyone. If you u want to come please come. You can just pay ur first deposit of let's say 3k pounds n get CAS , do POF get visa approved. Then take the next flight here with no other money on you n no dependant while hoping to work n pay your fees

Let's see how it played out.. The best way to learn a lesson is first hand experience.

Beress:

I am not discouraging you ma. You can come UK will welcome you. no one can discourage you.

At the end of the day, 9ja people did not get the point or maybe comprehension is a big issue for our people. (Making reference to d guy u responded to...and others)

If only you have access to public funds but this is not so for migrant. For the average British being unemployed is no issue to them as government pay them benefits handsomely.
But for migrants na there u go no say khaki no be leather

jaksmillioniar:

It's also a BIG SHAME that we have not even built an ecosystem to put endeavours as black folks in this country

Indian friends of mine are under less pressure (at least the ones I know ) cos they have built an ecosystem that give them these "soft loans" that they can spread out and pay off in due time.

We won't build that for ourselves because of dummy silly mentality
It is either the lender want to play smart and exploit or the borrower planning to take these loans without intent to pay up in full.

That's how we are constituting nuisance out here smh

You've said it all. We just don't love ourselves. You try to say hi to a Nigerian here, he/she snubs you, I don't really know our problem,it's a fundamental issue. By the way, which part of UK are you with the unemployment rate you cited?

Indians have a strong community here. They have taken over UK honestly.
Go to African stores they own it. Big stores also. Big business etc.
They are in no league with Nigerians over here In UK.

When it comes to job hunt... They easily get its. With their spread of network.
Most care homes I know are run by this people

he said they are discouraging him or others that want to Japa to UK.
He sees grown up men complaining he thought it's a joke. Am almost 40 with a wife and kids...
Why will I want to discourage anyone.
What's the benefits. ?
Somw will even say you are a wicked someone why haven't u come back.
So now I no de argue with anyone.. I will give u the easy way to come to taste the water.. Who no come no go know

The person u said that is walking and talking to himself. It's because of the debt to his school and probably house rent has long expire, electricity cut off, gas cut off.
With no hope and u now ed the 12k pounds spent here for CAS, visa application and dependant and u now press calculator to see that the 12k is actually over 22 million u spent plus others money
This could make someone go mad and lots of people are ing through this now

They are as third world as we are when it comes to mentality
But the very fact that they can come together and pool resources alone is what makes the HUGE difference between us and them

Where I live I am the only Nigerian in the complex
Two black Americans
One dude from Rwanda

Don't mind them
Broke ass mofos.

Though BTW there is this young lady who just moved here and in less than 6 months she is really speaking with a British accent
She still slips up once or twice but for the most part the accent is pretty decent

Its possible sha...
Even I do it sub consciously sometimes

But some Nigerians in one year and, they don morph into British person

moshuur:

Your comment is very funny 🤣🤣
...

Some of us are running mad already 🤣...

In all honesty, I feel sad and depressed some times with the present challenge. (Imagine paying millions, and then put oneself in a very hard predicament).

But we get hope say things will get better....omoh...and the tenacity keeps us going (first-year dey go small small).

But some folks in naija feels them dey pluck money for tree in the UK

One of my guy that landed as January intake even ran mad. Two months no job, no money for rent , no food stuff landlord told him to leave.
Balance of tuition waiting.
He was lucky some of us his guys don dey work after graduation. We had to raise £650 by contributing £50, some £60 and one guy £100 and so one we raise £650 . Then we give am sites like Frigo etc where he can the App and be collecting free foodstuffs , and other sites like that for free stuffs.

Now he has gotten a cleaning job and security job. but 20hrs/week

Problems of most of we 9ja to dey blv in faith when you know there's a barrier.
If the law says students are only entitled to 20hrs work.
At most 20hrs will fetch you £1100. House rent alone don take majority of it.
In my situation I work full time and earn at least 35k yearly with free transportation to work/leisure.
My rent & bills are over £1800 monthly.
If I comot bills,my balance no go even get flashing credit at the end of the month.
UK don choke now. To even get part time jobs na hard thing especially if you be international students.
How many people fit cope 2months without job.
Anyone coming as student now shd consider his purpose of coming to UK.
Paying skul fees @ £1=#2000 na hard task.
I know some of my work colleagues born in UK wey don 30yrs and still living with their parents.

I know London can be this bad. That's why I ran to Northeast England where house rent is cheap like one can get 2 bedroom for 550.

Since January,I never hear a friend wey I know sef wey don enter UK to study.
Tinubuation & Rishi Sunak combination sef na dangerous attack.
To enter depression for UK easy lyk anything.
I made enquiry to a Czech Republic university for Masters degree courses, even with less than £5000 person can do a 2yr course.
They even give work permit.
UK na survival of the fittest.
Except person dey come UK alone for work and his yearly salary na at least £24k and house rent na £400 monthly

You areright, relocating to UK in January without a dependant,and believing that 20hrs job will foot your bills here is a suicidal mission because oyinbo no send you o.
