Mugu

thanks wise man

@Uyai,
She was already "brain dead" due to "brain haemorrhage" and the life had to be turned off. So, just because you've started the "9 months journey" of rollercoaster "cravings and all" doesn't mean you shouldn't read properly for mental assimilation.

The second sentence was unnecessary. You are so mean.

Babatundehy:
They had some money before they could relocate, and that's in the millions, if the couple could raise that amount to travel to go clean asses and do dirty work Brits who didn't attend high school will not take then the intelligence and smartness of the couple should b questioned, it takes a few seconds to find out how hard and nasty this job is, how little it pays, the risks involved, and how difficult it is to switch from it.

The woman's husband is a failure for not using his brains to guide his wife and family properly, they could have used the relocation money to set up a trade here, do something, how would caregiving and studying law there give her child a better life? Is this because they're in the UK? How many Brits have better lives? How many lawyers there still need their parents help or live with them and can't have a family of their own because they're poor, law isn't even a profession through which anyone easily have a financial breakthrough, her educational background is already an enemy.

I always tell people this when I hear bankers, lecturers, graduates reducing themselves to nasty low paying jobs in the UK all in the name of a better life, you're a fool, to have all that education and decide your destiny lies in dealing with saliva and pee.

I'm a graduate, of course I'm unemployed but I work from home, went into tech, make more than 500k a month, sometimes I make that in one week (pay isn't fixed), there are things you just know you're bigger than, let's stop being foolish and following stupid trends, you see these idiots making videos about care job sponsorships and all that nonsense In their basement and or slice of space they call house, stupid folks selling themselves into modern slavery, let every intending foolish Nigerian read this and learn

This isn't about starting small, you're not starting anything by earning what's not enough for rent and good food by standing 8 hours or more packaging orders in an Amazon warehouse or meat factory or washing asses, you'll be depressed, have your health in shambles and eventually die achieving nothing, the most high created you for more than being an ass cleaner for your fellow man.

Nicely put.

To break into the top league of lawyers and attorneys in the UK or the U.S., you have to belong to the league of those who have a very strong network of influence and that takes a lot of time. For a lot of immigrants who follow the legal studies route, they tend to gravitate more towards practicing as immigration lawyers.

Vicky, that dialectic sentence was a bit of humor. Yes, I can be "mean"... but in a lovable way.

Talk to you later...

Chaiii, Because our government has failed us our lawyers now have to travel to Uk to be doing caregivers (adult pampers changers)

It has nothing to do with govt. It's just a stupid mindset. Nigerians just believe they'll have an easy cruise outside here without asking questions. A lawyer for that matter but working as an advanced house maid. The wahala could been stress induced leading to hbp. They work round the clock over there to pay bills.

This is untreated high blood pressure na..

Whether she dey naija or UK etc she would have still died as far she is not taking bp medication

Life na one....na sense I take de livam.

Very good comment. When I turn off my phones every week day at 7pm and refuse to take it into my bedroom and only switch it on the next day people don't understand what I am purposefully doing.

Knowing that sleep is the best medicine, I don't joke with my 8 hours minimum nightly sleep with more at the weekends.

A lot of people doing care work in the UK choose to do nights and some work round the clock and the next day WatsApp will not let them sleep and eventually it takes its toll on their physical health whilst the constant night work damages their mental health.

RIP to the Lawyer who died just months into her relocating to the UK. Her system is probably not used to the extreme stress in the UK.

UK is not for the faint hearted.

In my days as a student ant in London, I was a mini cab driver when I had just brought my then 7 month old son and my Ex from Naija to London and to make extra money, I borrowed my brothers extra car and went on a long mini cab shift lasting 60 hours (2 and a half days) without sleep (in those days you had to put in the hours to make anything from mini cabbing) and on the way home after the 60 hour shift I started feeling sleepy and I wound down my windows so that the winter cold will keep me awake as I was only 20 minutes or so from home.

What saved my life was that the Met police stopped me just as I was approaching the entrance to Rotherhite tunnel and asked me to put on my seat belt which I did.
As I exited the East London end of the tunnel and turned right towards Stratford, I dozed off for a split second and crashed the "borrowed" car into the central road divider. I was not injured but the car was a write off (although UK write off is not as serious as Naija one). The police came and called an ambulance and I was certified fine at the hospital.

The police later charged me to court for "driving without due care and attention" 'cos in their summation, the minute I started feeling sleepy, I should have pulled over, reclined my seat and slept for a while instead of carrying on driving. I was fined £250 at the court and had 6 penalty points docked from my license.

I have a neighbor living in the same building in London and she studied law in the UK, went back to Naija and did law school and to my chagrin she still came back to London to continue doing care work round the clock when she should have been looking for at least an office job ??

The thing is that if she stuck to her guns and decided to only accept office work, since she had UK papers, the UK Govt will pay her rent plus feeding allowance until she got the office job as long as she shows them evidence that she is job hunting and in the meantime she can intensify her job hunt for the office or law job she really wants.

But because a lot of Nigerians can not tolerate temporary lack of "show off" money, they get stuck in care jobs which tires and wears them down that they don;t have the energy to put a CV together talk less of job hunting which is a job in itself.

We worship money in Nigeria and most Nigerians look down on those without money and this is "partly" responsible for some people who already have papers in the UK to still be willing to spend ages doing menial jobs instead of stopping the menial work to focus on "full time" job hunting for a job related to what they studied since the UK Govt will pay their rent and feeding allowance whilst they hunted for the right job for them. But they are so short sighted and blinded by the money coming from the care work they are doing round the clock without pausing to think that if they only worked the normal 35 hour week, then they will see that they are not earning that much from care work.

Care work wey be say one wrong twist when lifting a heavy client has caused some Naija carers to have slipped vertebral discs. A job you can't do into old age ??

I many years ago when I came back to the UK after I closed the restaurant I went to open in Naija due to staff theft, I dated a Naija carer and she suggested to me that since cleaners then earned £13 per hour, I should consider applying for a cleaning job since there was a recession in the UK at the time and it affected the service sector the most. I simply told her that if she wanted the relationship to last, she should not mention such to me again as I would rather work as an ant earning £3 per hour than as a cleaner earning £13 per hour. The relationship did not last.

I once worked as a database programmer at UCL (University College London) and I almost cried the day I saw the name of an old friend and former classmate at UI Medical school in the HR database at UCL as a cleaner. It brought back memories of when myself and this chap used to pay the Neuro Anatomy lab attendant at UI extra money to allow us stay extra hours dissecting the human brain in the lab before exams. Luckily enough my friend ed his medical conversion exams in the UK and he now practices medicine in the UK.

Why was her life ing machine turned off?
The husband couldn't meet up with the bills?

Health is free in the UK if you get papers and 'cos she get work permit it is still free although she would have paid a health surcharge of £1,035 per year in advance which in the circumstance is a fraction of the cost of looking after her in intensive care unit. Health care in the UK used to be completely free from cradle to grave for EVERYONE including those without papers or work permit until a few years ago when things changed and the health surcharge was introduced to prevent health tourism and to also raise money for the struggling UK Govt finances.

I saw the following article on the internet regarding why a life machine may be turned off :-

Choosing to remove life usually means that the person will die within hours or days.

Actually doctors don't choose to end life . Family do. Doctors can only recommend removal of life if the chances of recovery is next to nothing.

Keeping people on life is not as simple and painless as people think it is. It sometimes makes for a painful, slow and violent death.
Something we shouldn't wish for our worst enemies.
Families in their earnestness to give their loved one everything in fact deprive them of a peaceful death.

If a person is brain dead, the patient is officially dead. Most Governments recognizes brain death as a definition of death. At this point, the life or ventilator only keeps the body running without any hope of recovery.
