People from any country who come to the UK must understand that it is YOU who must fit in, not expect the UK to fit in with YOU. You come as a student and as such must be a student first.
UK Universities do well on the fees they receive from International students. UK Universities go round the world selling the experience students can expect and so it is important that they listen to the experiences of their 'customers'.
I actually think UK is generous. You get two years post study visa after. Technically your student visa to study not earn pounds. That is why you show your POF that you have money. The people complaining are the ones who are using student route as a relocation package . It is not a relocation package. If you want to work full time apply for jobs directly or Skilled worker visa. Manage your expectations carefully. It will het better . You just have to be patient
As a reversed JAPA being over 60 and semi retired and relocated to Abuja I've lived and worked in the UK for over 30 years as a social worker and community mental health practitioner. What this video clip made me realise is many young Nigerian JAPAs going to the UK don't do their homework. The reality is the UK owes you no flavours so be prepared for the realities that the universities just need your money asnut funds their development as many UK young people don't aspire to go to university. My little advice would be to always apply for part time jobs, read the job specification and try to show how your life experience can match to the job spec. Also learn that not all the news you get is true. As for experience while you are waiting for the 3 months experience try to attend a few online lower level courses or do some volunteering. At the end of the day you are all young so enjoy the experience it's all a growing experience and remember the UK is a leveller and no job is considered too low but should be seen as a start to getting experience to move up. Finally try to join relevant student networks
When I listen to Nigerians talks about searching for job, it surprises me. We talk as if, other people are responsible for creating jobs for us, and remember jobs don't grow as population grows. The more we run to some western nations, the more there will be lesser jobs for us. The earlier we learn to create jobs for ourselves the better for all of us. The UK government has just used your head in the name of education-collect your money.. Nigeria cannot be better, when we keep running away!!
That’s how it works with agency staff. Permanent staff will always been given priority for shifts over agency shifts. Not only because of continuity of care, but also because it’s cheaper. It’s not discrimination.
I really value these guy's experience. I lived in Lagos for three years between 2018 and 2021. Nigeria has its challenges, but it is far better than the West in many instances. But that's my experience.
When people say “I will earn more than I earn in Nigeria” or comparing rent with that in Nigeria, it worries me. I think students or young professionals in UK should start comparing their earnings to the standard in UK. E.g a HR officer newly hired in the UK should benchmark his/her salary with the average IN THE UK! Not comparing it to that in Nigeria. Else, you might be shooting your self in the foot and not know because you think you are doing well than someone in Nigeria!
Rightly said. So many folks are living below the minimum in the UK but because they console themselves with the comparison of pounds to naira they feel better. If you are doing well in Nigeria pls think it over before moving, you may not be very lucky.
It was amazing watching, that lady that said when things gets better we will go back, my question to her is who will make it better? We all needs to work hard to make our country better, we are been treated like nothing in people's country because they knows that we are from countries that are not doing well, so we have no options than to fit in to whatever is going on here. May the Lord heal our country 🙏 we are indirectly living like slaves, because you are working not because you like the job but because, you need it to survive. I nearly cried watching this.
My dear, you don't know you're giving so much now and wasting the best times of your life, 4 nothing in this country. I hope you understand. Stay alive to fight another day. That's japa.
You all sound like JJCs to Oyinboland and never lived outside of Nigeria before. Your challenges are what all students or immigrants go through all over the world including USA, Canada, Australia etc. Living abroad isn't easy.
If you are an international student coming to study to the UK I would suggest you to choose universities in the big known cities such as Nottingham, Birmingham, Manchester and many more. The reason as to why is better it’s because those cities employability is high and they are cities that potentially have jobs in soo many fields because of how big the city is. May God come through for you all 🙏
Exactly! Agents never tell them this. Many Nigerians are in cities that have made them frustrated because of no jobs. I know one schooling in Aberdeen and has to come to Bristol to work so she can make money and offset her tuition. 😢 It is well…
People should just embrace the country, you can't have regrets over what you don't do. Middlesbrough is a town under the shadows of Newcastle and Sunderland and I can understand but you guys are there for studies when you finish you can move on...
True but can relate with what they are saying. People like to work to support themselves. Remember my first job after uni one of the guys moved to London for work.
Relocating from one country to another is never easy but will be worth it at the end. I came into USA before my children joined me and I can remember at a point thinking I made a mistake bec I had to bring myself low from being a madam in Nigeria ,, ask me today I will say I’m glad I didn’t give up bec I almost went back to Nigeria. Today the progress I see in my children’s lives is worth every tears i shed to settle them here. Pls hang in there, manage your resources, it’s unfortunate they don’t have much jobs for students unlike here in USA. Life abroad is not same back home but I will choose it again and again. With Time you will be fine, or plan your exit to Canada or USA after some times. Bec UK is only using our people to boost their economy.
We can conclude that UK govt scammed Nigeria. The promises of 20-hour jobs that are not there for these students. In the last 3 years, Nigerians have brought millions of pounds to UK for tuition fees and accommodation.
God bless u for this comment . Are the kids not why we do all what we do ? For me when i see my kids growing & developing by the day , i know its the best decision i made
Sounds like these young people weren't properly instructed and not prepared for life in U.K short term. Therefore, expectations not met, frustrations n disappointments. They are getting lots of life's lessons n academic education. Focus on long term and press on. Make sacrifices and just have basics. It's totally different system n different mentality. We eat humble pie very often when we leave our home countries
@@mrmike1582Anybody who moves to another country without proper planning only has themselves to blame. If I move to America, without money and without securing accommodation and a job that is on me. Should I make videos trashing America because I went there without proper planning.
This generation is quite fragile. This is the best time to be in the UK. Go and get a care job as a student. You are very very lucky! I have been in the UK since 1993 and the country has a lot of opportunities if you are ready to work very hard. Lower your expectations and start from somewhere.
Relocation was not the most comfortable decision to make as of last year for me. But that was when the zeal to move fell on my husband, and we decided to make the move. I can't and don't want to imagine if we did not make the move. I live everything in God's hand, and I know this one too he has taken charge of. Nice video and concept. Keep giving us good contents. All the best.
As someone that live in London and studied in Southampton outside London also. Middlesbrough is cheaper to rent but employment not sure there will be much choice. You are better going to big cities. Even me when I first went to study in Southampton wasn't happy at first but then adjusted but visit London often then whilst studying. It is cold everywhere in the UK especially up north.
Even if their parents were part of the people stealing government’s money to sponsor them overseas? Let them face the reality since they left their home turf to seek better life overseas.
These guys needed the right advise to prepare them and plan for the life in the UK. Most agents do not know the locations nor understand system they send people. They are after their commissions, and it’s free service, that’s what most people like, because they feel it’s free. In the end it cost more and making them feel less about themselves. It will be more cost effective paying for professional services that will give you a comprehensive & holistic information, advice and guidance. I am based in the UK and I know there are lots of jobs for young graduates. You don’t need to be going for those low paid job. The employers assume you are not going to be there for long hence they don’t want to employ too many international students. Instead get internship in your field of study, network and connect with employers so that when you are done with studies they can employ you. It has worked for many students we deal with, and they are on good pay. So connect with the right people and these narratives will change.
it usually tough at the beginning but please persevere till the end, trust me you won't regret it if you can plan well ahead and you seek favour of God. My own story, I came in as a student some 13yrs ago, I had to do construction work during term break time in order to be able to pay my 2nd year school fees, I cried, cried, cried but I had no choice but to do it, otherwise I would have to withdraw from uni.. Thanks to God, I got 3 job offers with tier 2 visa sponsorship few months before graduation, fast forward to many years after, I now work as Lead software engineer In everything you do in UK, pls seek skills and knowledge because your skills will make ways for you, those initial challenges are temporarily and it will make you stronger, when you succeed it, you would look back and give thanks God for everything
things turned out good for you which is great but unfortuneately things will not be good for a lot of others, i can honestly let you know that. the UK of today is not the same as even 3 years ago, and based on projections things are only gonna get worse
Plan properly before coming to uk. Naturally, most companies can’t employ you as a student because your visa places a work restriction on you. However, you should be able to get menial jobs to thrive on. Stop having high expectations interms of the jobs you can do as a student! Most people don’t know this coming here. Use your one year masters period and build your skill set so you can switch after study. God will see you guys through. 😊
This is an important conversation that you guys are having here. People need to know what it feels like to be out there. You guys are doing a great job! 👏🏽
People come here with certain preconceived mindset. No country is perfect o! You just have to keep pushing and trust God to make you succeed where you are . As for employability, it’s important you research well before going to uk. Go to cities with high employability rate. I’m in Bristol and jobs are never the issue here for students. Don’t just go to a city because of low rent or cost of living. Employability is key!
These are normal challenges most immigrants face abroad. If you did your homework properly you wouldn't be surprised. Most Nigerians are poor in researching, Middlesbrough will give you 'cheap' tuition but the economy there is dead, so if you are planning to work and pay your tuition it won't work because the jobs are not available. It is advisable to move to cities where the economy is vibrant and your chances of getting a job increases, however schools there might be more expensive. Most people join the japa bandwagon without proper research and start wailing when things don't go there way. People have their individual reasons for relocating but abeg do your research and prepare for the worst case scenario.
You are right but I don’t I agree with every point you made. This research you are talking about , is it accessible on gov.uk website? NO ITS NOT. is it a research you find as qualitative research . NO. It’s a research of hear say or you finding someone who will honestly open up to you and say this is not going to work based on experience. How many people or videos on this UA-cam have you watched that has the analysis of this research you are talking about. If not videos like this very one ☝️ which is rare on this UA-cam field. So homework you mean is not applicable in this context . Not everyone has family and friend in over seas , some folks are the first to actually travel out from their linage. Allow people to make their mistakes , wail over it , pick up their self and learn from it. Don’t judge or out rightly put out a condemnation without fact . I believe almost everyone had done an intelligent homework of looking through the verifiable data of the individual location they picked their schools from before making the move. The regrets are in the reality . And reality is having videos like this to inform others . More of this ! @prudence well done for putting out a video like this 👍
Have the right paperwork and research on the best accommodation that would suit your situation. Expect racist attitudes when applying for jobs. I know that Nigerians are taught to aim for academic jobs : lawyer, doctors and so on, but exploring a trade job might not be a bad idea you would probably make more money.
If you have a house in Nigeria. You don’t pay rent. Do you eat every day in Nigeria? If the answer is yes Don’t move. Because that’s exactly what you are coming here to do food and pay for your accommodation finish.
I personally believe it’s only a matter of time. You all will be settled and balanced soon come summer when you have more hours to work and earn. It can only get better…Nice video👍
You have to remember when you move to another country and jobs wise you have to start over most persons start doing cleaning job just to again experience. Even though if we have been doing high end job back in our. country plan and do more research before you leave your country.
Well, I wanted to start with inspirational quotes but that'll be horrible of me, bcos my own plans don set already. UK 🇬🇧 see you before April. 👌👍. Well done prudence.
Just plan yourself very well and come with money and lower your expectations, uk is fucked for now. Can wait to fuck out here myself as British passport holder.b bless
Don't regret your uk coming travelling is adventure and what ever you learn use it to Improve Nigeria and other African countries we can make it great again
So sweet to watch 😃😃 - see me smiling because I can relate to their stories. By the way, Russia is giving out scholarships now and there are jobs to with the possibility of getting a permanent residency after study. - if you dont mind, key into the opportunity.
Hi Pridence , some single guys in thr UK would like to meet Nigerian single students who are genuinely available ... I'd like to be connected to the lady in glasses in this video If she is single though... they are all quite honest and optimistic ... they should keep up the positivity ... they will all definitely make it here in the UK . Yomi
The people that deceived you guys are those bloggers that will come on social media and giving fake stories about japa to UK . No matter what UK is still better even if you're in a rural area at least for now UK is better though I don't stay in UK but I live in Europe.
After living in Sweden and England for over 12 years ( London later became very good for me) I would visit Nigeria and used to admire Nigeria ladies of my age who worked in banks; serious corporate worlds. Young Nigerian doctors. They were intelligent they were beyond me even though I had flown in from almighty Western world and moved there at 22 years old.
I heard you all.This is Internet age,it is good to get information before moving abroad to avoid "culture shock" and adjust to the new norms in your new home. (Europe). The teething period is always stressful and hard to sail through in western world but have goals of making it through hard time.. With time ,things will get better and you will be happier later and achieve better things in Europe .Have a nice stay in Europe .
I think a lot of people problem is the mindset they had before migrating...i think movies don't help matter because it depicts rosy some like heaven on earth.. Be modest, have dignity in all labor...Mindsets needs to be renewed because you can't compare the pros you would get overtime...stay focused. The system favors you when you deserve it unlike Naija where a lot of odds are against....Unfortunately, our government in naija is not helping matters if not who for japa
Why do you always rationalized when people say life is tough for them abroad, and say they should stay bla bla people have different direction and steps in life must everybody have one since of direction in life?
Very nice video and I enjoyed every bit of it. The ladies were amazing. Sit tight and hold on. It can only get better, once you know what you plan for yourself long term, you guys will scale through.
Oh!,imagine if our country was in good shape, this young promising guys will not have to go through all this but, it is what it is. You guys should keep your heads up,this too will pass, in another 2-3years from now, all your stories will be different in a. Positive way, just trust God🙏. Guys Jisike 🤗🌹❤️.
bigger city jobs are also harder to get but to me you have to put it in mind you're also a students . Try have faith like job, I also say once you put your mind to it you can make whether in a big or small a city I know most persons like faster places but things will work out one day.
The jobs are getting more competitive o. Even trying to get my cousin retail jobs they have tests for £10 per hour job. Even care job is becoming scarce. Na wa o. Try to be optimistic and not give up, once studies is completed can move to Manchester, Birmingham, London etc.
I think what you guys need is doing your due diligence before you choose your university. I also think you guys need help on the ‘how to’ I would love the owner of this channel to get touch so we could arrange a webinar.
I watch this with great sadness, the great African Leaders like Zik,Awo(Of Nigeria), Nkrumah Of Ghana, Jomo Kenyatta Of Kenya who came to Britain in the 1940s thought by now in the 21st Century Africa would have been industrialised and this current generation won't have needed to travel out of Africa. Its so sad!. I hope if you have friends coming to Britain to study, go to Universities that are in London OR go to Oxford or Cambridge(but Its expensive). But I trust African Students they are resourceful and hardworking. I know that because I was once one.
One thing Africans must understand is that Student-Based Immigration is a revenue-generating collaboration between the Govt and the Universities. Home students enrolments are fast decreasing as demand for university degrees is dwindling. International Student Immigration is a cash cow for these dying schools. In the grand scheme of things, this is another form of wealth transfer from Africa to Europe. Just imagine how much money Nigerian students and their families are pumping into the UK economy for visas that don't guarantee stay beyond the degree program's duration. AFRICANS NEED TO WAKE UP!
Great points but this too sha pass . It’s only a temporary situation I came to Ireland as an International Student the start wasn’t very easy but I am comfortable to some extent. If you are single and want to study , I would suggest you come to Ireland.only problem is accommodation crisis apart from that, you will be able to get menial job .There are also professional jobs and if you have the skills, you will definitely get a great job Ireland also gives 2 years post study visa but you are not allowed to come with dependents
Guys there are no enough jobs and.accomodations so be patient it will get better. Moreover you can change your uni to another especially to regional like Manchester , Aberden , Glasgow , Birmingham or on the other hand cant you guys apply to uni in northern ireland. Then regarding your cv 's experience the employers dont read your cvs because there are so many applications so how many do you want them to read one by one.
Research before travel. The fact is they issue visa expecting you to study and work for very few hours. There is no short cut in U.K. Be patient you will get expeience and apply for suitable jobs. Furthermore check how you write your C.V. The C.V is usually job specific, read the Job description and write your C.V as per What they are looking for. Once you master how to write a good U.K C.V, you will get employers calling you.
God will crown every body efforts with success. Just make sure you save money as much as you can. After your masters or PhD you can travel to Canada and work as a permanent residence.
These issues mentioned depends on the city. Let's not generalise these things. The title of the video should rather be "some Nigerians". Some cities have more jobs than others and students living in cities where they have more jobs get to choose jobs because of many options they have. Well, in the end the stress will be worth it.
In summary they all feel regrets...but definitely finds a way out to make believe that it would gets better. Wish you all the best anyways. #MamaAfrica#
I really enjoyed this video. We all want to be in Nigeria but let's tell ourselves the truth,this country has long been hijacked by criminals and that much is obvious from the ongoing crises in fuel scarcity,naira scarcity and incessant kidnappings etc. One useless policy can end you,that is the uncertainty that people are running from. I personally am tired of contributing ransom money for my kidnapped colleagues. With all the complaints about abroad being hard,naija is not easy either.,especially for us doctors. You can't do anything for patients,people come to you and are so poor but can't afford treatment,how much can one take before breaking down? Try doing surgery without electricity. My dears,make the best of the circumstances you find abroad in a well managed economy where human life means something abeg. Have fun!!
Then take the control back, there's nothing unique about the Nigerian story. There was a time when the UK was ruled by cruel and selfish leaders, which was the case, all across Western Europe. But the people rose up and took back their country.
If you offer all of them a full refund of the cost of their coming to the UK they won't go back. They just de vex shaa say no be wetin de expect dem see for Teeside, lol what of people wey dey Hull and deeper places.. Remember that Teeside is one of the most deprived places in England, it used to be a booming industrial town until the conservatives took over.
Migration is about learning the people, food, culture and traditions, I don't know why Nigerians are so obsessed with Nigerian food, that they even think of bringing it in air freight and cargo. Try other foods, you will be surprised how much you will enjoy it.
@Prudence Apinoko I enjoy my Nigerian food trust me but I won't bother to carry anything when I travel back as I think whatever I need I can get it here. Last weekend, I went to buy a litre of Palm oil for £4.99, am OK with the price as I don't want to know how much it is in Nigeria nor do I want to know if its taste is different 😀 .
Sir Abdul you're the boss here, most of the newly immigrants need the local Nigeria food they bring with them to sustain them financially and socially for a while before they acculturate.
Imagine a prospective JAPA was asking how they would bring cow tail from Nigeria to the UK. If they do their homework they will realise that there are African markets all over the UK with the bigger cities having the best. Like Ridley Road Market in Hackney London or similar markets in Moss Side Manchester where you can get a whole chicken for under £2 and 3 tins of tomato plum for £1. Spinach, onions and peppers are all cheap. The problem is do they know who to cook the Nigerian foods they love.
there are no jobs for student at all in the Uk abeg.. i urge every nigerian coming here to be prepared.. better you stay back in Nigeria.. it is very fraustrating here. please i regret coming to the Uk
I think many Nigerians relocate with high expectations. Most people base their relocation on movies and are not prepared for the reality of life abroad. I hope we can all research before we leave. But I pray that everyone who has relocated gets to achieve their dreams.
I think most people that come to the UK don't get clarity before jumping on the plane to Heathrow, Some don't even know a bit about the city they would be living in. The reality is that one needs enough money to get the ground running before settling down and getting jobs. United Kingdom will favour us all!!!!
Ma thank you so much for this video, thank you, day before yestereday i was searching for schools, i saw this teeside as one of the cheapest school in uk with starting pay of 13,000 pounds. Hmm i am going back to Nigeria peacefully.
Guys register with agencies in Manchester, so when you don't go to University you come to work in Manchester. There are many Nigerian who can accommodate you.
Unfortunately a lot of people don't want to hear the truth. Now there are loads of information online, there are groups that people are sharing their experiences, but nobody wants to hear the truth. But I love that they are motivated to keep pushing. It will get better.
Yeah. No one wants to hear negative truth lol. That 'e go better' talk takes over common sense in most cases. If you are really doing well in Nigeria before coming, what significant improvement would you make because you will still start from the very bottom of the ladder if and when you eventually get a white collar job. And remember ageism, nationality ad race are the obstacles you will battle. Good luck to everyone but to me there is a right age for relocation which should be in your 20s and early 30s.
Which Nigeria are you guys talking about! a nation that has failed his people. I think a lot of you are still very young and inexperienced. You guys should just thank God for the opportunity to relocate from that country where you are not even sure of your life tomorrow.. Pls dont feel so entitled in another man's land You guys should just keep moving on and working hard.. Life generally is not a walk in the park. A journey of a thousand miles begins in a day. things will definitely get better . Just be grateful to God for the little he has given and he will do more. I wish you all the very best.
My dear you will say that because everything looks good from oyibo land trust me it is not like that. No place like home, . I just pray that the coming election will be free and fair and that we elect people that will transform Nigeria into a country that works for everyone. I don’t know how to summarize the systemic racism and horrors that traumatized Africans in the western world. These people unfortunately don’t see us as humans or the same with them. To them we are objects that must do their bidding.
Keep quite. U mentioned life is not a walk in the park but yet state Nigeria has failed people. Why not tell the people in Nigeria life is not a walk in the park. Why does it apply only to people abroad.
That lady with grey wig, on glasses and operating her phone while others are speaking, somebody should tell her that act is all wrong and disrespectful in a group discussion and to the intended audience. Simple courtsey pls. Meanwhile, Nice and open video. I wanted to come to Teeside but I learnt about the situation and changed my plans immediately. People should make very deep introspective analysis before choosing a place/destination.
LoL ... I also went to teesside ... The town is dead ... It's good for studying but nothing else ... The jobs are horrible.. you can't say you experienced the UK if you are there ... Better to go to London or Birmingham
Hello Prudence, I am a student of Digital Marketing Management and would love to do a video blog with you as a project.. I don't mind coming to Middlesbrough for collaboration
Thank you, getting job as an international student is not easy, that is why Canada want you to have proof of fund before coming, I graduated before getting a job
People must study their environments and understand what works instead of doing what they know. Any country you move to will ask if you have work experience in that country, you have to remember that Nigeria is seen as a developing country in the western world and they feel you won't be up to western world standards. Trust me, once you have gotten experience under your belt, you will get more job offers because you are tried and tested. We should never forget that the western world is unforgiven you have to work hard to get what you want and that means fighting against all factors so let's not be fooled that when you get there everything works in your favour.
They are encouraging themselves, you better go back home to Naija when your study is done and get back to developing the country. The problem is that most of these people will get stuck doing those menial jobs like cleaning floors at night, washing dead bodies, care work for old crazy indigenes who abuse them. Please take those skills and go back home, use your experience to change home gradually. If you guys know what will be happening to the UK and European countries in the next decades with recessions and declining standards of living coming, I don't think they will be giving the good jobs to you guys, it does not matter what you have to offer. Naija is waiting for you and I to come develop her...please.
How much is marketing vs how much is real? Get in get your education work experience any savings and leverage that for better job in Nigeria or anywhere Africa. Crime is everywhere the statistical occurrence of crime in Nigeria vis a vis 200M population is almost negligible. Less than 2% of Nigeria will ever travel out of Nigeria. Relationship hmmmm. Travel ooo but have a bloody plan and execute. Its a plantation system out there. For real.
I don't think japa is the answer. We all have a say in how Nigeria goes. I experience hardship in Nigeria but I am also hopeful that things will turnaround. You lot saying that 'when the country gets better you will come home' should revisit that sentiment because who will make the country better if not our young, progressive professionals. The country that you are going to enjoy achieved their own comforts and ease over many years of hard work and consistency (and yes, a fair amount of good leadership). But there is no place called Heaven on Earth. It is sad to watch my contemporaries leave in droves. I hope you find what you are searching for eventually. Nigeria will be better than you can ever imagine. Just watch and see small drops of getting things right build an ocean of the country we desire.
People from any country who come to the UK must understand that it is YOU who must fit in, not expect the UK to fit in with YOU. You come as a student and as such must be a student first.
UK Universities do well on the fees they receive from International students. UK Universities go round the world selling the experience students can expect and so it is important that they listen to the experiences of their 'customers'.
I actually think UK is generous. You get two years post study visa after. Technically your student visa to study not earn pounds. That is why you show your POF that you have money. The people complaining are the ones who are using student route as a relocation package . It is not a relocation package. If you want to work full time apply for jobs directly or Skilled worker visa. Manage your expectations carefully. It will het better . You just have to be patient
🤍
So true. Finance is essential. Even British ppl too struggling to get jobs. Focus and keep going is the way forward.
Post study nonbe free na....2k pounds is annoying
Very well said
@@makorsky512 but you have the potential to work full time on the visa . UK doesn’t force us to come here. It is a choice to extend or not
As a reversed JAPA being over 60 and semi retired and relocated to Abuja I've lived and worked in the UK for over 30 years as a social worker and community mental health practitioner.
What this video clip made me realise is many young Nigerian JAPAs going to the UK don't do their homework. The reality is the UK owes you no flavours so be prepared for the realities that the universities just need your money asnut funds their development as many UK young people don't aspire to go to university.
My little advice would be to always apply for part time jobs, read the job specification and try to show how your life experience can match to the job spec.
Also learn that not all the news you get is true.
As for experience while you are waiting for the 3 months experience try to attend a few online lower level courses or do some volunteering.
At the end of the day you are all young so enjoy the experience it's all a growing experience and remember the UK is a leveller and no job is considered too low but should be seen as a start to getting experience to move up.
Finally try to join relevant student networks
completely agree they sound very entitled
Perfectly said sir
When I listen to Nigerians talks about searching for job, it surprises me.
We talk as if, other people are responsible for creating jobs for us, and remember jobs don't grow as population grows. The more we run to some western nations, the more there will be lesser jobs for us.
The earlier we learn to create jobs for ourselves the better for all of us.
The UK government has just used your head in the name of education-collect your money..
Nigeria cannot be better, when we keep running away!!
the kind of entitlement you hear is just rich
You lost me at the end of your message,is nigeria a country...?
@@citeebayconvey2935 Na d county dem born u...lol
That’s how it works with agency staff. Permanent staff will always been given priority for shifts over agency shifts. Not only because of continuity of care, but also because it’s cheaper. It’s not discrimination.
I really value these guy's experience. I lived in Lagos for three years between 2018 and 2021. Nigeria has its challenges, but it is far better than the West in many instances. But that's my experience.
You guy did a good job with your shared experience, wish you all the very best, please share the details of the lady who want to relocate to germany..
When people say “I will earn more than I earn in Nigeria” or comparing rent with that in Nigeria, it worries me. I think students or young professionals in UK should start comparing their earnings to the standard in UK. E.g a HR officer newly hired in the UK should benchmark his/her salary with the average IN THE UK! Not comparing it to that in Nigeria. Else, you might be shooting your self in the foot and not know because you think you are doing well than someone in Nigeria!
🤍
This you just said has always been my take on argument with my sister
Please tell them
Rightly said. So many folks are living below the minimum in the UK but because they console themselves with the comparison of pounds to naira they feel better. If you are doing well in Nigeria pls think it over before moving, you may not be very lucky.
It was amazing watching, that lady that said when things gets better we will go back, my question to her is who will make it better? We all needs to work hard to make our country better, we are been treated like nothing in people's country because they knows that we are from countries that are not doing well, so we have no options than to fit in to whatever is going on here. May the Lord heal our country 🙏 we are indirectly living like slaves, because you are working not because you like the job but because, you need it to survive. I nearly cried watching this.
My dear, you don't know you're giving so much now and wasting the best times of your life, 4 nothing in this country. I hope you understand. Stay alive to fight another day. That's japa.
These young stars are very naive and arrogant.
You all sound like JJCs to Oyinboland and never lived outside of Nigeria before. Your challenges are what all students or immigrants go through all over the world including USA, Canada, Australia etc. Living abroad isn't easy.
🤍
If you are an international student coming to study to the UK I would suggest you to choose universities in the big known cities such as Nottingham, Birmingham, Manchester and many more. The reason as to why is better it’s because those cities employability is high and they are cities that potentially have jobs in soo many fields because of how big the city is. May God come through for you all 🙏
You are very right. Even London, West London for example
True London is expensive o but if you have accomodation sorted
Exactly! Agents never tell them this. Many Nigerians are in cities that have made them frustrated because of no jobs. I know one schooling in Aberdeen and has to come to Bristol to work so she can make money and offset her tuition. 😢 It is well…
This is a valid point, location really matters
Hello, What about Newcastle?
Lack of research and unrealistic expectations. When you try to explain people feel you don’t want them here. Experience is the best teacher.
People should just embrace the country, you can't have regrets over what you don't do. Middlesbrough is a town under the shadows of Newcastle and Sunderland and I can understand but you guys are there for studies when you finish you can move on...
🤍
True but can relate with what they are saying. People like to work to support themselves. Remember my first job after uni one of the guys moved to London for work.
Everyone experience in Nigeria is different
Sad
Relocating from one country to another is never easy but will be worth it at the end. I came into USA before my children joined me and I can remember at a point thinking I made a mistake bec I had to bring myself low from being a madam in Nigeria ,, ask me today I will say I’m glad I didn’t give up bec I almost went back to Nigeria. Today the progress I see in my children’s lives is worth every tears i shed to settle them here. Pls hang in there, manage your resources, it’s unfortunate they don’t have much jobs for students unlike here in USA. Life abroad is not same back home but I will choose it again and again. With Time you will be fine, or plan your exit to Canada or USA after some times. Bec UK is only using our people to boost their economy.
How do students boost the UK economy? 😂
Do you know the huge billions of pounds that students pay to the UK as tuition?
@@silverstars7882 sure you don’t know how much is paid in tuition right
We can conclude that UK govt scammed Nigeria. The promises of 20-hour jobs that are not there for these students. In the last 3 years, Nigerians have brought millions of pounds to UK for tuition fees and accommodation.
God bless u for this comment . Are the kids not why we do all what we do ? For me when i see my kids growing & developing by the day , i know its the best decision i made
I dont regret leaving Nigeria. Light zero, security zero, everyone should know their reasons.
This is sad. Just because Nigeria is hard it doesn’t make abroad more rosey. Jobs are getting competitive here. I pray and wish them success
🤍
I'm enjoying this campus series! The blonde girl is making so much sense
This why we need to come together and fix Nigeria no place like home we need to send out bad leaders
GOD bless Nigeria 🇳🇬 💚
well said
There is nothing like taking care of your home
Exactly! No place like home. We need to hold our leaders accountable, like they do in the West. Going abroad is not and will never be the solution.
Yes bad leaders like Tinibu and Atiku
@@universalnihi8374 you get the point 🤝
Sounds like these young people weren't properly instructed and not prepared for life in U.K short term. Therefore, expectations not met, frustrations n disappointments. They are getting lots of life's lessons n academic education. Focus on long term and press on. Make sacrifices and just have basics. It's totally different system n different mentality. We eat humble pie very often when we leave our home countries
🤍
It's not a function of not being informed, they are saying it as it is. or do you want them to lie?
@@mrmike1582Anybody who moves to another country without proper planning only has themselves to blame. If I move to America, without money and without securing accommodation and a job that is on me. Should I make videos trashing America because I went there without proper planning.
This generation is quite fragile. This is the best time to be in the UK. Go and get a care job as a student. You are very very lucky! I have been in the UK since 1993 and the country has a lot of opportunities if you are ready to work very hard. Lower your expectations and start from somewhere.
Relocation was not the most comfortable decision to make as of last year for me. But that was when the zeal to move fell on my husband, and we decided to make the move. I can't and don't want to imagine if we did not make the move. I live everything in God's hand, and I know this one too he has taken charge of.
Nice video and concept. Keep giving us good contents. All the best.
🤍
As someone that live in London and studied in Southampton outside London also. Middlesbrough is cheaper to rent but employment not sure there will be much choice. You are better going to big cities. Even me when I first went to study in Southampton wasn't happy at first but then adjusted but visit London often then whilst studying. It is cold everywhere in the UK especially up north.
I haven't finished watching and I'm feeling so sad already, God please come through for all the students
Even if their parents were part of the people stealing government’s money to sponsor them overseas? Let them face the reality since they left their home turf to seek better life overseas.
These guys needed the right advise to prepare them and plan for the life in the UK. Most agents do not know the locations nor understand system they send people. They are after their commissions, and it’s free service, that’s what most people like, because they feel it’s free. In the end it cost more and making them feel less about themselves. It will be more cost effective paying for professional services that will give you a comprehensive & holistic information, advice and guidance. I am based in the UK and I know there are lots of jobs for young graduates. You don’t need to be going for those low paid job. The employers assume you are not going to be there for long hence they don’t want to employ too many international students. Instead get internship in your field of study, network and connect with employers so that when you are done with studies they can employ you. It has worked for many students we deal with, and they are on good pay. So connect with the right people and these narratives will change.
it usually tough at the beginning but please persevere till the end, trust me you won't regret it if you can plan well ahead and you seek favour of God.
My own story, I came in as a student some 13yrs ago, I had to do construction work during term break time in order to be able to pay my 2nd year school fees, I cried, cried, cried but I had no choice but to do it, otherwise I would have to withdraw from uni..
Thanks to God, I got 3 job offers with tier 2 visa sponsorship few months before graduation, fast forward to many years after, I now work as Lead software engineer
In everything you do in UK, pls seek skills and knowledge because your skills will make ways for you, those initial challenges are temporarily and it will make you stronger, when you succeed it, you would look back and give thanks God for everything
Good advice
This is a very good advice from Olu !
With perseverance things will get better . What you guys are going through is not permanent but temporal .
things turned out good for you which is great but unfortuneately things will not be good for a lot of others, i can honestly let you know that. the UK of today is not the same as even 3 years ago, and based on projections things are only gonna get worse
Plan properly before coming to uk. Naturally, most companies can’t employ you as a student because your visa places a work restriction on you. However, you should be able to get menial jobs to thrive on. Stop having high expectations interms of the jobs you can do as a student! Most people don’t know this coming here.
Use your one year masters period and build your skill set so you can switch after study. God will see you guys through. 😊
the level of their entitlement is mind bloooowing. typical nigerian yute
Lack of planning, research etc....
Nice one!
I like that lady on glasses and her neighbour. So sincere and lively.
This is an important conversation that you guys are having here. People need to know what it feels like to be out there. You guys are doing a great job!
👏🏽
Wherever we are we must learn to TRUST GOD.
Yes
😂
People come here with certain preconceived mindset. No country is perfect o! You just have to keep pushing and trust God to make you succeed where you are .
As for employability, it’s important you research well before going to uk. Go to cities with high employability rate. I’m in Bristol and jobs are never the issue here for students. Don’t just go to a city because of low rent or cost of living. Employability is key!
These are normal challenges most immigrants face abroad. If you did your homework properly you wouldn't be surprised. Most Nigerians are poor in researching, Middlesbrough will give you 'cheap' tuition but the economy there is dead, so if you are planning to work and pay your tuition it won't work because the jobs are not available. It is advisable to move to cities where the economy is vibrant and your chances of getting a job increases, however schools there might be more expensive. Most people join the japa bandwagon without proper research and start wailing when things don't go there way. People have their individual reasons for relocating but abeg do your research and prepare for the worst case scenario.
🤍
You are right but I don’t I agree with every point you made. This research you are talking about , is it accessible on gov.uk website? NO ITS NOT. is it a research you find as qualitative research . NO. It’s a research of hear say or you finding someone who will honestly open up to you and say this is not going to work based on experience. How many people or videos on this UA-cam have you watched that has the analysis of this research you are talking about. If not videos like this very one ☝️ which is rare on this UA-cam field. So homework you mean is not applicable in this context . Not everyone has family and friend in over seas , some folks are the first to actually travel out from their linage. Allow people to make their mistakes , wail over it , pick up their self and learn from it. Don’t judge or out rightly put out a condemnation without fact . I believe almost everyone had done an intelligent homework of looking through the verifiable data of the individual location they picked their schools from before making the move. The regrets are in the reality . And reality is having videos like this to inform others . More of this ! @prudence well done for putting out a video like this 👍
True. Southern England is economically better than Northern England. Northern English are friendlier than Southerners. Those are the main trade-offs.
the level of their entitlement is mind bloooowing. typical nigerian yute
Nawa oooo, really having a rethink about UK tanks for sharing.
Have the right paperwork and research on the best accommodation that would suit your situation. Expect racist attitudes when applying for jobs. I know that Nigerians are taught to aim for academic jobs : lawyer, doctors and so on, but exploring a trade job might not be a bad idea you would probably make more money.
If you have a house in Nigeria. You don’t pay rent. Do you eat every day in Nigeria? If the answer is yes Don’t move. Because that’s exactly what you are coming here to do food and pay for your accommodation finish.
😊 the strength in the voices of our new Nigerian immigrants is impressive. I like way they talk with audacity.
I personally believe it’s only a matter of time. You all will be settled and balanced soon come summer when you have more hours to work and earn. It can only get better…Nice video👍
Well said!
Thank you so much 🤍
You have to remember when you move to another country and jobs wise you have to start over most persons start doing cleaning job just to again experience. Even though if we have been doing high end job back in our. country plan and do more research before you leave your country.
Well, I wanted to start with inspirational quotes but that'll be horrible of me, bcos my own plans don set already. UK 🇬🇧 see you before April. 👌👍. Well done prudence.
Keep going girl, don’t let anyone or anything discourage you okay?
🤍
Thanks sis, really inspiring, I am actually coming to Teeside University, the truth is that staying in Nigeria is not encouraging anymore. Honestly
🤍
Just plan yourself very well and come with money and lower your expectations, uk is fucked for now. Can wait to fuck out here myself as British passport holder.b bless
*update pls 🙏
i so much enjoy wacthing this, i so much love the conversation, the vibes, i laugh out loud... God bles you, im sending this to my babe asap
Don't regret your uk coming travelling is adventure and what ever you learn use it to Improve Nigeria and other African countries we can make it great again
So sweet to watch 😃😃 - see me smiling because I can relate to their stories.
By the way, Russia is giving out scholarships now and there are jobs to with the possibility of getting a permanent residency after study. - if you dont mind, key into the opportunity.
Hello please I’m in Russia at the moment Moscow to be precise abeg I’m in need of a job please help me
Hi Pridence , some single guys in thr UK would like to meet Nigerian single students who are genuinely available ... I'd like to be connected to the lady in glasses in this video If she is single though... they are all quite honest and optimistic ... they should keep up the positivity ... they will all definitely make it here in the UK . Yomi
Prudence plz do the Lords’s work..lols
The people that deceived you guys are those bloggers that will come on social media and giving fake stories about japa to UK .
No matter what UK is still better even if you're in a rural area at least for now UK is better though I don't stay in UK but I live in Europe.
🤍
Dnt mind them
After living in Sweden and England for over 12 years ( London later became very good for me) I would visit Nigeria and used to admire Nigeria ladies of my age who worked in banks; serious corporate worlds. Young Nigerian doctors. They were intelligent they were beyond me even though I had flown in from almighty Western world and moved there at 22 years old.
my advice is that stop looking for jobs. instead be an entrepreneur final
This was very very enlightening. Thank you guys so much and wishing y'all the best !
I heard you all.This is Internet age,it is good to get information before moving abroad to avoid "culture shock" and adjust to the new norms in your new home. (Europe). The teething period is always stressful and hard to sail through in western world but have goals of making it through hard time.. With time ,things will get better and you will be happier later and achieve better things in Europe .Have a nice stay in Europe .
Nice podcast.
Glad that you guys are sharing your experience.
We want to see more 👍
I think a lot of people problem is the mindset they had before migrating...i think movies don't help matter because it depicts rosy some like heaven on earth.. Be modest, have dignity in all labor...Mindsets needs to be renewed because you can't compare the pros you would get overtime...stay focused. The system favors you when you deserve it unlike Naija where a lot of odds are against....Unfortunately, our government in naija is not helping matters if not who for japa
🤍
Why do you always rationalized when people say life is tough for them abroad, and say they should stay bla bla people have different direction and steps in life must everybody have one since of direction in life?
Very nice video and I enjoyed every bit of it. The ladies were amazing. Sit tight and hold on. It can only get better, once you know what you plan for yourself long term, you guys will scale through.
Oh!,imagine if our country was in good shape, this young promising guys will not have to go through all this but, it is what it is. You guys should keep your heads up,this too will pass, in another 2-3years from now, all your stories will be different in a. Positive way, just trust God🙏. Guys Jisike 🤗🌹❤️.
bigger city jobs are also harder to get but to me you have to put it in mind you're also a students . Try have faith like job, I also say once you put your mind to it you can make whether in a big or small a city I know most persons like faster places but things will work out one day.
It can only get better.....Don't worry guys. It is well❤
The jobs are getting more competitive o. Even trying to get my cousin retail jobs they have tests for £10 per hour job. Even care job is becoming scarce. Na wa o. Try to be optimistic and not give up, once studies is completed can move to Manchester, Birmingham, London etc.
Thank you so much Ma, as for me I am packing my Bags, I no do again, I am going to Nigeria 😂😂😂😂😂 I am in Belarus country lol
I think what you guys need is doing your due diligence before you choose your university. I also think you guys need help on the ‘how to’ I would love the owner of this channel to get touch so we could arrange a webinar.
I watch this with great sadness, the great African Leaders like Zik,Awo(Of Nigeria), Nkrumah Of Ghana, Jomo Kenyatta Of Kenya who came to Britain in the 1940s thought by now in the 21st Century Africa would have been industrialised and this current generation won't have needed to travel out of Africa. Its so sad!. I hope if you have friends coming to Britain to study, go to Universities that are in London OR go to Oxford or Cambridge(but Its expensive). But I trust African Students they are resourceful and hardworking. I know that because I was once one.
Wow I love this round table discussion
One thing Africans must understand is that Student-Based Immigration is a revenue-generating collaboration between the Govt and the Universities. Home students enrolments are fast decreasing as demand for university degrees is dwindling. International Student Immigration is a cash cow for these dying schools. In the grand scheme of things, this is another form of wealth transfer from Africa to Europe. Just imagine how much money Nigerian students and their families are pumping into the UK economy for visas that don't guarantee stay beyond the degree program's duration. AFRICANS NEED TO WAKE UP!
Dont mind nigerians...lol..
Great points but this too sha pass . It’s only a temporary situation
I came to Ireland as an International Student the start wasn’t very easy but I am comfortable to some extent.
If you are single and want to study , I would suggest you come to Ireland.only problem is accommodation crisis apart from that, you will be able to get menial job .There are also professional jobs and if you have the skills, you will definitely get a great job
Ireland also gives 2 years post study visa but you are not allowed to come with dependents
please what university?
They will adapt later and if not comfortable, they could go back home. Abroad don overflowed
Guys there are no enough jobs and.accomodations so be patient it will get better.
Moreover you can change your uni to another especially to regional like Manchester , Aberden , Glasgow , Birmingham or on the other hand cant you guys apply to uni in northern ireland.
Then regarding your cv 's experience the employers dont read your cvs because there are so many applications so how many do you want them to read one by one.
Research before travel. The fact is they issue visa expecting you to study and work for very few hours. There is no short cut in U.K. Be patient you will get expeience and apply for suitable jobs. Furthermore check how you write your C.V. The C.V is usually job specific, read the Job description and write your C.V as per What they are looking for. Once you master how to write a good U.K C.V, you will get employers calling you.
God will crown every body efforts with success. Just make sure you save money as much as you can. After your masters or PhD you can travel to Canada and work as a permanent residence.
🤍
These issues mentioned depends on the city. Let's not generalise these things. The title of the video should rather be "some Nigerians". Some cities have more jobs than others and students living in cities where they have more jobs get to choose jobs because of many options they have. Well, in the end the stress will be worth it.
In summary they all feel regrets...but definitely finds a way out to make believe that it would gets better.
Wish you all the best anyways.

I really enjoyed this video.
We all want to be in Nigeria but let's tell ourselves the truth,this country has long been hijacked by criminals and that much is obvious from the ongoing crises in fuel scarcity,naira scarcity and incessant kidnappings etc.
One useless policy can end you,that is the uncertainty that people are running from.
I personally am tired of contributing ransom money for my kidnapped colleagues.
With all the complaints about abroad being hard,naija is not easy either.,especially for us doctors.
You can't do anything for patients,people come to you and are so poor but can't afford treatment,how much can one take before breaking down?
Try doing surgery without electricity.
My dears,make the best of the circumstances you find abroad in a well managed economy where human life means something abeg.
Have fun!!
Then take the control back, there's nothing unique about the Nigerian story. There was a time when the UK was ruled by cruel and selfish leaders, which was the case, all across Western Europe. But the people rose up and took back their country.
Lovely people good luck! And let's keep praying our country get better. Good luck all!
You are lucky. Rent here in Bedford for 1 bed flat is around £850 power month
If you offer all of them a full refund of the cost of their coming to the UK they won't go back. They just de vex shaa say no be wetin de expect dem see for Teeside, lol what of people wey dey Hull and deeper places.. Remember that Teeside is one of the most deprived places in England, it used to be a booming industrial town until the conservatives took over.
🤍
Some will most people are suffering from depression.Nigeria will never say d truth that is why they call us suffering in silence
Offer me the full refund first if I won't go back lmao
Migration is about learning the people, food, culture and traditions, I don't know why Nigerians are so obsessed with Nigerian food, that they even think of bringing it in air freight and cargo.
Try other foods, you will be surprised how much you will enjoy it.
🤣I particularly love my Nigerian food too much
🤍
@Prudence Apinoko I enjoy my Nigerian food trust me but I won't bother to carry anything when I travel back as I think whatever I need I can get it here.
Last weekend, I went to buy a litre of Palm oil for £4.99, am OK with the price as I don't want to know how much it is in Nigeria nor do I want to know if its taste is different 😀 .
@@PrudenceApinoko 🤣🤣
Sir Abdul you're the boss here, most of the newly immigrants need the local Nigeria food they bring with them to sustain them financially and socially for a while before they acculturate.
Imagine a prospective JAPA was asking how they would bring cow tail from Nigeria to the UK.
If they do their homework they will realise that there are African markets all over the UK with the bigger cities having the best. Like Ridley Road Market in Hackney London or similar markets in Moss Side Manchester where you can get a whole chicken for under £2 and 3 tins of tomato plum for £1.
Spinach, onions and peppers are all cheap.
The problem is do they know who to cook the Nigerian foods they love.
there are no jobs for student at all in the Uk abeg.. i urge every nigerian coming here to be prepared.. better you stay back in Nigeria.. it is very fraustrating here. please i regret coming to the Uk
I think many Nigerians relocate with high expectations. Most people base their relocation on movies and are not prepared for the reality of life abroad. I hope we can all research before we leave. But I pray that everyone who has relocated gets to achieve their dreams.
I think most people that come to the UK don't get clarity before jumping on the plane to Heathrow, Some don't even know a bit about the city they would be living in. The reality is that one needs enough money to get the ground running before settling down and getting jobs.
United Kingdom will favour us all!!!!
Ma thank you so much for this video, thank you, day before yestereday i was searching for schools, i saw this teeside as one of the cheapest school in uk with starting pay of 13,000 pounds. Hmm i am going back to Nigeria peacefully.
Everything will be well..start strong,God is in control
Guys register with agencies in Manchester, so when you don't go to University you come to work in Manchester. There are many Nigerian who can accommodate you.
Everyone is responsible for fixing Nigeria. Most of you would easily abide by rules in UK, but you would definitely be looking for shortcut in Nigeria
Unfortunately a lot of people don't want to hear the truth. Now there are loads of information online, there are groups that people are sharing their experiences, but nobody wants to hear the truth.
But I love that they are motivated to keep pushing. It will get better.
🤍
Yeah. No one wants to hear negative truth lol. That 'e go better' talk takes over common sense in most cases. If you are really doing well in Nigeria before coming, what significant improvement would you make because you will still start from the very bottom of the ladder if and when you eventually get a white collar job. And remember ageism, nationality ad race are the obstacles you will battle. Good luck to everyone but to me there is a right age for relocation which should be in your 20s and early 30s.
Na wa see our voters ooo have left. It is well with all of you.
The Nigerian borders are still open to anyone who wants to come back o. Just putting it out there in case y'all that are complaining forgot😏
Which Nigeria are you guys talking about! a nation that has failed his people. I think a lot of you are still very young and inexperienced. You guys should just thank God for the opportunity to relocate from that country where you are not even sure of your life tomorrow.. Pls dont feel so entitled in another man's land You guys should just keep moving on and working hard.. Life generally is not a walk in the park. A journey of a thousand miles begins in a day. things will definitely get better . Just be grateful to God for the little he has given and he will do more. I wish you all the very best.
My dear you will say that because everything looks good from oyibo land trust me it is not like that. No place like home, .
I just pray that the coming election will be free and fair and that we elect people that will transform Nigeria into a country that works for everyone.
I don’t know how to summarize the systemic racism and horrors that traumatized Africans in the western world.
These people unfortunately don’t see us as humans or the same with them. To them we are objects that must do their bidding.
Who is this one?! These are people speaking about their personal experiences! You are the one that sound entitled.
Keep quite. U mentioned life is not a walk in the park but yet state Nigeria has failed people. Why not tell the people in Nigeria life is not a walk in the park. Why does it apply only to people abroad.
It’s u that has failed the nation..check yourself
The reason why oyinbo land is hard for them is money not ENOUGH. If the salary is good, menhn, you go enjoy abroad pass Nigeria
Interesting interview
Thank you🤍
Most Nigerians don't know it's a business for the UK
Sweet souls ...with Good vibes
🤍
Dont worry it will get better over time, you have to start from somewhere!!
The theme or topic should be about life in Middlesbrough and not UK. It can be misleading not all cities have this challenge
That lady with grey wig, on glasses and operating her phone while others are speaking, somebody should tell her that act is all wrong and disrespectful in a group discussion and to the intended audience. Simple courtsey pls.
Meanwhile, Nice and open video. I wanted to come to Teeside but I learnt about the situation and changed my plans immediately.
People should make very deep introspective analysis before choosing a place/destination.
LoL ... I also went to teesside ... The town is dead ... It's good for studying but nothing else ... The jobs are horrible.. you can't say you experienced the UK if you are there ... Better to go to London or Birmingham
Pastor Seun, I see you in this video... Glad you are here... Go and bring sister Tolu and my babies oo
Ah, who’s the pastor o
@@PrudenceApinoko the last man on shirt that responded o
Hello Prudence, I am a student of Digital Marketing Management and would love to do a video blog with you as a project.. I don't mind coming to Middlesbrough for collaboration
Thank you, getting job as an international student is not easy, that is why Canada want you to have proof of fund before coming, I graduated before getting a job
🤍
People must study their environments and understand what works instead of doing what they know. Any country you move to will ask if you have work experience in that country, you have to remember that Nigeria is seen as a developing country in the western world and they feel you won't be up to western world standards. Trust me, once you have gotten experience under your belt, you will get more job offers because you are tried and tested. We should never forget that the western world is unforgiven you have to work hard to get what you want and that means fighting against all factors so let's not be fooled that when you get there everything works in your favour.
We that is here for long, if we tell u guys u will not listen, na una don see am😃😂 mk una enjoy
You must play in the mud when you come to a new place, but it can only get better but you will have to pay a price
🤍
They are encouraging themselves, you better go back home to Naija when your study is done and get back to developing the country. The problem is that most of these people will get stuck doing those menial jobs like cleaning floors at night, washing dead bodies, care work for old crazy indigenes who abuse them. Please take those skills and go back home, use your experience to change home gradually. If you guys know what will be happening to the UK and European countries in the next decades with recessions and declining standards of living coming, I don't think they will be giving the good jobs to you guys, it does not matter what you have to offer. Naija is waiting for you and I to come develop her...please.
And learn to deal with racism in the UK by joining student support groups
Those girls are just amazing 😆
How much is marketing vs how much is real? Get in get your education work experience any savings and leverage that for better job in Nigeria or anywhere Africa. Crime is everywhere the statistical occurrence of crime in Nigeria vis a vis 200M population is almost negligible. Less than 2% of Nigeria will ever travel out of Nigeria. Relationship hmmmm. Travel ooo but have a bloody plan and execute. Its a plantation system out there. For real.
I don't think japa is the answer. We all have a say in how Nigeria goes. I experience hardship in Nigeria but I am also hopeful that things will turnaround. You lot saying that 'when the country gets better you will come home' should revisit that sentiment because who will make the country better if not our young, progressive professionals. The country that you are going to enjoy achieved their own comforts and ease over many years of hard work and consistency (and yes, a fair amount of good leadership). But there is no place called Heaven on Earth. It is sad to watch my contemporaries leave in droves. I hope you find what you are searching for eventually. Nigeria will be better than you can ever imagine. Just watch and see small drops of getting things right build an ocean of the country we desire.
...that's the truth, when things gets better we'd all come back to give back...
😁😁😁😁😆 the guy said it a village! Chai! This one cracked my ribs

Shey there is no Hostel ? Hostel is even cheaper na. But when i applied to stirling, they had a hostel accomodation
