    If you are poor in Nigeria, there is almost everything you want in the UK. Good public services, 24 hrs power supply, transport, broadband, a trusted legal system, great education, and jobs. The price you pay is to repress your soul a bit. Which means cold, isolation, very high cost living, and debt slavery. It can get depressing if you feel all you're doing is working and paying bills and taking care of people back home. So my advice is that you also need an escape plan so you can afford to live and be happy anywhere.

      Now if Governments in Africa were dedicated to fixing up their countries and putting in place all the resources needed for its people, like the West have done, our people would not be in a hast to come to the UK for a better life, so ultimately the heads of African States are to blame for so many Africans leaving the continent, Africa needs it young people, to build and develop and to create opportunities for others coming up, this cannot be done while corruption at the top abuse power for their own means, whilst having the backing of the army to enforce dictatorship, remove all corrupted leaders and rewrite constitutions and give fair elections to the people without brutality and imprisonment, then just maybe we will see changes for the betterment of Africa and African peoples, home and abroad as well as those in the Caribbean wanting to relocate and return home from the dispora...

      @kingsaint5759 this is a moral argument that most people share. In reality, our continent is too rich in resources for the powerful, global, special interest corporatist elite to allow us to develop into stable democracies with powerful economies. That is essentially increasing the cost of their raw materials and eating into their profits. The world as it is, is sweet for a minority of people who like to see it continue. You can always blame corruption but the real problem are the uneducated masses and the literate ignoramuses with 50 degrees alike .

    Hi, I'm Scottish and I enjoy watching these videos, it's fascinating to learn about people's experiences. I just want to say that everyone faces the issue of job hunting, there's a lot of competition so if you are young with little work experience, or older but experienced in a sector that isn't hiring. There is more work training for young people nowadays, which is progress - they can get a small wage and experience. Life is a struggle financially for a lot of people in UK just now, so bear that in mind, be realistic, find out if you're work experience or training is in demand and if the wages will cover the cost of living. Job opportunities and housing costs vary a lot from area to area, as does public transport provision, so you may have to factor in long commutes and car ownership.

    Been here 5+ years.
    A brief summary.
    The UK looks like El Dorado when compared to Nigeria.
    In reality when the excitement wears off(after a few months to a year) the reality sets in.
    Care jobs, support workers and other unskilled jobs available to migrants are low paid and,yes, undignified. If you're OK doing that as an adult fine.Before you say that's a temporary thing ask people who have been here for years and how easy/difficult it is to do that.
    A lot of people end up doing that low skilled work job for years(care work, security guard-cue that your 50 year old uncle who has been in the UK for 20 years but no one really knows what he does in Nigeria). The minimum wage pay gets you a tiny house/flat with little wiggle room to move on to a bigger house.
    There are exceptions of course. Migrants who have relatively well paid jobs (doctors, nurses,IT workers). Now these people have their qualifications from Nigeria and did not get it in the UK.
    You can train to be any of these in the UK however it takes time and money (check the cost of a nursing degree course in the UK).
    Bottom line the majority of Nigerians end up stuck in these low paying jobs. It is a hand- to -mouth , paycheck to paycheck life. One needs a clear plan and roadmap before leaving Nigeria or as early as possible after arrival to avoid this.

    As long as you don't have " over the top" ambitions and expectations then you will achieve a lot. People should do away with any negative toxicity from Nigeria 🇳🇬 and once you can do that, you will survive. Nigerians are built to survive any conditions and you will survive it all, trust me.
    About visiting outside the UK 🇬🇧, I've been able to do a fair share of Europe and Newyork and I have enjoyed it as am very interested in travelling a lot and the UK is a place to be to do that.

      Hi Abdul, I've seen your coment on another video and I'm aware you've lived in UK for years. I'll like to ask you as someone who is aware of the system. I have software engineering experience of about 3 years, what do you think aboutme getting a job as a student in tech will be like for me? I know working is allowed for only 20 hours, will it be easy getting a job with my experience in software engineering- i intend moving on a student visa this year , that is if the tech nation visa I apply for is not successful

    • @abdulmalikkoiki

      @Ifeoma N I wish you all the best in your visa application, am sure you will be able to get a job in your chosen field and make sure your university is closer to a big city as am not sure if you can work away from the office. Also, just believe in yourself that you will survive, with 20 hours a week it will be very tight depending on how much you've paid off from the fees, but remember "nothing is impossible and everything is possible" you just need to have the belief.
      I honestly wish you good luck and you will need it in abundance.

    I'm surprised to hear there are Landlords out where you are, who are demanding up to six months advance in rent, which isn't so in London or with letting agents.
    All you need is one month rent in hand deposit and your one-month rent, the deposit will be returned to you when you move out of the property if there is no damage caused.

      Hey, my opinion is that women get it easier indeed than men. Reasons are many, one the system is bias and promotes women every walk of life. Example, if a man meets a women who lies like he has abused her, before they search the truth 9/10 they will the men up or make life so difficult for him. Secondly, men who come seek asylum can be detained or even spend nearly 15yrs without any aboard which has send many into illegal work BUT this is very rear for women. A women can get papers and work within 2 months yet in the same position as men. When you become a professional a women has a higher chance of being promote to a manager or managing director than a man of the same standing.

    The UK isn't what it used to be. I'm tired of telling people the reality on the ground.
    Now i just tell people to come and experience it themselves.
    Most Nigerians come into this country and do low/average paid jobs that pay just enough to get by. There are thousands of us here who live from hand to mouth. However if you are focused there are opportunities here to improve yourself in areas that will open doors of opportunity but with time and endurance things can work out for you. Don't think that things will change automatically. Its a gradual change from months to years depending on your qualifications or profession and relevance to the system.
