U are doing well brother.
One of the issues with this is that the naive whom have no idea about cost incurred here in the UK especially in London is that they will convert that into Naira. The salary is peanuts especially with the inflation rates of everything which are close to 12%.
Infact they have already started converting, as if they will spen it in Nigeria. I pity them
@@toyinafolabi4214 😆😆
@@toyinafolabi4214 Many of them are ignorant
Really is that what they plan to pay ? 🤔 it is a joke..people will struggle oo, so this whole thing is about saving money .....Ngawanu
£28k is peanuts a tradesman makes over $150k/annum in Canada, Australia they make over $200k/annum
28k per year in London is nothing? You are surely below the poverty line. At 20% tax rate plus NI contribution etc, you will take home around £23k or £24k per year. This means you will be getting around £1,900k per month. Now a one bed flat in London will be a somewhere between £1,000 and increases as you get closer to the centre of London (Zone 1). Depending on where you live, transport will take another £300 plus and you re left with £600. Remove your feeding and miscellaneous expenses (plus the compulsory black tax and "showing them back home"), you are left with barely nothing. Say bye-bye to ever owning a house or living a "proper" life. What if you have kids? Can you honestly raise them on £600 per month? Coupled to all of this is the "challenging" nature of teaching in the UK. Be prepared to go to prison if you dare challenge any of the uninhibited children here who have been told they can do whatever they like.
London life someone would require at least 45k minimum and am not joking because I know London
@@gallegalleson4427 Tell them. Instead of heeding the advice and negotiating a better salary, they think the video is about stopping anyone form travelling.
@@ibexy that’s the issue with our folks, they despise logical and critical reasoning
I think it only makes sense if a teacher doesn't come with a family from Nigeria and they live outside London.
@@AbdulJawula Even at that, a qualified teacher should not be earning anything less than 45k in the current economic climate. Even if your family is back home in naija, na water dem go chop? Is it a taboo for a qualified teacher to live a normal life here in UK with his family?
South africans better stay put because you get paid well. Only greedy ones will learn the hard way. My auntie is a teacher and I already told her to stay put its not worth it. She will lose her pension for frustration only. Thanks Phrankleen for this.
I saw it and i was shocked . after tax is the same as poverty . the problem is that people do not understand the system
The come in and get trapped in the rat 🐀 race
@@Phrankleen13 exactly
While I agree it's not in Nigeria's or Africa's interest, it's still a better opportunity for the average Nigerian teacher. What do we pay teachers in Nigerian? Peanuts.
Until we start to value our talent and treat them well and groom them we will continue to lose them simple.
Yes the salary is low but the spouse can also work, the kids will have free education and healthcare etc which they will most likely pay for in Nigeria.
And yes we talk or micro aggressions etc, but the working conditions for these teachers in Nigeria is crap isn't it? Head teacher treating them like crap while paying peanuts and even paying salaries late etc.
Yes I agree it's a carrot being dangled and it will adversely affect us but we need to step it up not complain. We need to create better opportunities for our people but I don't see that changing with the current direction the country is taking so the average person will take that low pay opportunity and make something for it and their children.
Rent will take the whole thing.then nothing left.
@@toluani7690 That's the problem with Nigerians trapped in their greedy selfish mindset. The teachers that thought my generation never received a million naira salary. They received so little and still did a great job teaching the future generations of Nigeria 🇳🇬
Now is me me me no one is ready to sacrifice anything for their nation. That's why you mindlessly jump into the Western bait for cheap labour because of your greed and selfishness.
You end up impoverished in the West while enriching their system.
Pathetic.
I was trying to warn a jamaican teacher about expectations in the UK. She has a Masters Degree in Maths- long story, she was rolling her eyes and was clearly exasperated by me. I've been ostracised by her; better sometimes to allow people to make their own mistakes.
An agent offered me a teaching degree here in Australia to speed up becoming a permanent resident. I looked at the annual salary and turned it down. It's not worth it infact it's better to do a care job. whoever is reading the news from overseas will think £28k is a good offer compared to what they receive at home. I will not blame them, the situation is not encouraging at home either. What they don't know is that the salary offered in the UK is poverty level plus mental health problems. I spoke to a teacher yesterday and he's gradually losing his senses (eyes, ears) + diabetes from high stress level. This is after 12yrs of working here in Australia. If you don't get good counsel, you'll pile up debt than you can handle. Like yorubas will say, don't use another's clock to work. Live in moderation and learn how to work with numbers in your favour. If you must live overseas, pursue good careers and have less children. These nonsense offers in supposedly developed countries is dehumanising and that's why knowledgeable white people will not take them. It's the stupid Africans praising these countries for me, developed countries can do no wrong in their eyes.
Off course, they are paid well, come and see the kind of cars, Nigerian teacher drive they even publish books makes sales come even get paid while not working I mean federal government teachers. MOst times they believe the west is always better.
I don't even want to talk to anybody again, they won't listen and will say you don't want them to progress.
The problem I have seen repeatedly is that many who do care jobs...do so without the innate desire...but for convenience...access to UK... I have experienced cold nurses on many occasions....
28K BEFORE taxes keep that in mind. You’ll be left with nothing else after paying bills. Don’t even try it especially if you have a family and kids to feed.
They’re probably offering it because their own citizens won’t take that amount.
poverty wages or salary. they will have to work two jobs to break even with the high expenses if they are lucky
They are offering everything to Nigerians to come here to be servants and slaves for the rest of their live struggling living check to check.
Nobody wants to do these jobs especially teachings these bad ass British teenagers who have no respect for adults or for authority!
When I was in my 20’s I was a tutor on my way to teaching I changed my career path fast because the teenagers wanted to fight the teachers physically and were very unruly
Yes £28K before tax Lol 😂🤣😂. That will only cover rent after tax.
@@wisdomandlove1661 Correct 👍
Anyone taking this offer will suffer.Not only is the salary very bad, you will be teaching ill-mannered, rude,offensive and even sometimes violent children and you can never retaliate no matter what they do to you.I pity anyone who take up any teaching job in the UK.
Not worth the racism you will face from the students, parents and office staff…..b careful what you sign up for.
Off course, Nigerian federal teachers are paid well, come and see the kind of cars, Nigerian teacher drive they even publish books makes sales come even get paid while not working I mean federal government teachers. MOst times they believe the west is always better.
@@johnnwabuforudemezue1108 yes my brother started as a high school teacher in Ivory Coast, eventually he got together with some teacher friends and they built their own high school and extended it to 3 schools. On top of that he studied a little more and passed exams to become a national orientation officer for elementary students who go to middle school. Africa is good for those that are motivated to work. I am ready to leave America.
Exactly
Instead of resulting to this, the UK government should look into ways for retaining the teachers who have quit or planning to quit the profession. This is not the answer.
I’m a teacher in the US and I agree with everything in this video. Nigerian teachers please don’t do it because we as a people do not have the tolerance for the BS in the diaspora and as he said the are trying to excavate the greatest minds in Africa.
Sadly, our folks will see this as dissuading them from achieving what the regard as blessing 😊
Should the UK repeat what they did in the Caribbean? People could not find a doctor or teacher. They left their islands in 1960's and went to England and America. They told them they need British experience before they can work...they had to eat, and then took whatever lowly jobs available...Streetsweepers and other laborious work.
Will Nigerian People and others fall for the same tricks in 2022.
@@mariam6822 ...any one in Nigeria you give this advice will say you don't want their progress, let them come..the UK should stop what they have been doing, focus on your home trained not cheap Labour.
@@sunnysunny-tk7cf if you are asking me I was born and raised in the US but from my upbringing especially being yoruba I know Nigerians do not understand that n the US students have the control not the adults
@@Phrankleen13 well they can’t say we did not warn them.
Great content as always…. now if my parents keep my kitchen cupboards full of carrots, I will not be compelled to take one dangled by a stranger.
Two sides of a coin!
Word !!!
I have great respect for everyone who comments here. But as always people fail to look at both sides before commenting. Sister you are on point!! Teachers in Nigeria are being owed 7 months worth of carrots. At least in the UK you're guaranteed of the dangling carrot every month
Even if the carrot is poisoned ?
@@emuoboogbodu5261 How can you go 7 months without a salary? African countries are a disgrace.
Many of us in the UK are even planning on going back to Africa. Leave the ones who won't heed to the warning of coming to UK, they will soon realise when they get here. 🙄
My father was a Teacher in the USA the kids call him all kind of name, make fun of his accent, they break into his car, cut his tires, and he try to quit he was told he was under a contract. It took him lot of time and court case before he finally quit. Even the kids report him that he was exposing himself because his zipper was open. It not worth it. He was so stress coming home. Don’t do it but they will learn the hard way. Since African don’t like to listen to advice. They will learn the hard way.
Those kids are evil. Otumokpo no dey there ?
So sad for your poor father. Yes the kids in this country can be wicked and that why I chose not to have any here.
Correct 👍 let the stubborn one that don't want to listen and learn find out the hard Lmao 🤣😂😂
I can imagine, the accent thing is a big problem.
Dear Franklin,
Let us be optimistic for once in such situation. We have learnt so
much from the westerners. In the past, we might not have this privileged in the past due to some constraints. But now this has changed for good. Best wishes
This is a poverty salary. These Nigerian teachers better have a roommate mindset and room together in one house or apartment/condominium, so they can save a lot of money before heading back home.
You know it might be difficult if Families already involved.
Is £28,000 net or gross?
If it's gross, it means about 30% will be taken out to cover taxes, national insurance, unemployment insurance, etc. So take home pay will be about 20k.
Church expects 10% tithe. -2k = 18k.
Accommodation will take a slice. Let's say 800/month. That comes to about 10k/year. -10k = 8k left.
After paying utility bills, phone, internet, transport, food, cable TV, kids, clothes, I doubt any money would be left.
Unfortunately, now that you're in the UK, you've joined the big boys club in the minds of Nigerians. That means something must be sent to Nigerians back home monthly.
In a nutshell, if you seize the opportunity to migrate to the UK, be prepared to work a second job. Usually unskilled labor.
Well dissected.....
And this is exactly how people get trapped in the UK working just to live.
Lol you even include tithes😀
Black tax.
I'm sorry but I don't think all the countries you mentioned will last in the teaching profession in the UK. There is a lot of disrespect in especially secondary schools and all these countries have a lot of respect for their elders and respect is a huge part of their culture something that UK children don't understand. You have to have a lot of tolerance to take the rudeness of some of this entitled children and their overprotective parents plus so much paperwork. Why do you think so many people leave the teaching profession yearly.When I was doing my teacher training in the UK I knew two guys who just came from Nigeria to do their teacher training and just talking to them I knew they won't last in the UK system because they were too vocal and will not take any nonsense from any students. There is a certain way schools think they discipline children here but actually they do absolutely no discipline and children get away with anything and everything even the students know it and will tell you that you can't do more than send them to detention. 2 years later one of my friends who I did training with let me know that the 2 Nigerian guys got jobs in his school and they both left. She said something to,do with one of the students said the teachers are always shouting and after that it is not easy because another teacher will be coming to observe your lessons once there is complaint against you and it will just fustrate your life. I quit teaching as well and I have already lived in the UK for over 15 years. My advise is if you want to teach in the UK please first get an agency job as a teaching assistant just to get the feel of how the UK system works so that you can see how other UK trained teachers handle the classroom , speak to them and just observe it because the disrespect and school politics is a lot. Also you have to teach mandatory PSHE lessons weekly which involves teaching topics that some people may find uncomfortable to teach such as promoting same sex topics, lgbtq topics all tied into the British Values of respecting other people's beliefs. A lot of teachers struggle weekly to teach certain topics but there is nothing you can do. Also be ready for the students to make fun of you because of your accents most inner city school kids in London are brutal. You can search the number of teachers that leave the profession yearly and lots of people that don't complete their teacher training which is why there is a shortage. Let's not forget how they treated teachers during covid is also why so many people left. Primary schools are better though as the kids are still young and usually have better discipline. You also need to consider children with special educational needs in your classroom and ensure they don't get left out something a lot of people don't have a clue how to deal with. I didn't say don't get a job in the UK , all I'm saying is look before you leap and be ready to unlearn all your behaviour management strategies that you use to discipline children in Nigeria. Good luck if one of your students is now transgender or confused about their sexuality just be wise in everything you say to any students on any topic and definitely don't go and start sharing the gospel because some Nigerians like to just learn the hard way.
Yes its kinda like a trap.. I remember some of my friends who had PHDs and MAsters degrees and could only get this kind of job but then had to quit their teaching job because the kids were threatening them and one was killed and stab. They were all scared of having thier visa cancelled if anything goes wrong. It was a lot of praying and fasting in the church ooo. My African people its not easy oo.
Wow....a lot of points here
The issue is they multiplied the 28k by the naira exchange rate ans saw stars. Non remembered they need to live in the UK first before sending all the money back home.
Lol this is exactly it. They saw many millions of naira and thought it was like winning the lottery. Sadly by the time they learn the truth it will be too late.
@@ibexy a Nigerian blog called it eye watering N25 Million Naira package for teachers, U.K. is amazing …. 🤯 I was speechless! (They multiplied the 28K by 910 and posted the misleading blog post)
I am divided by this. 60% more towards them going. Why? We need a brain change in Nigeria. All these nurses, doctors, carers, teachers, etc, leaving....a lot will come back home. They will come back with a better mindset of how a developed society should look like. When i talk to my siblings about starting different business ventures, they can not envision it, but when I talk to a friend already here in the West, ideas start flowing. These diasporans will come back with better ideas and technologies on how to move Nigeria forward (i believe). Look at India, for example. Their diasporans are a major force in their country's development.
I agree with you to some degree.It is my hope that they pick up the good traits and go back home to use it to better our country
All that stuff does is ruins the environment why try to mimic the west when we have driven ourselves into land fills where will the waste go
@@tademolade1629 Not likely they will rather continue with their bad ways there.
I understand. But they can't change the system, trust me. It's the responsibility of the country's political leadership to provide an enabling system. It is the damaged current system that drives them out in the first place.
Thanks for this video Phrankleen. I immediately converted the amount to USD and it’s such a low wage given the amount of work and pressure involved in teaching, not regarding the high qualification required. Having said that, it’s not that Nigerians and Africans in general have lost our wits because of religion etc. but the alternative of staying back in nations riddled with corruption, poverty and violence among other ills is what’s driving these relocations.
I live in the UK, if you earn 28000 pounds and your spouse earn about the same you can be comfortable and save gradually but if you're single and you rent a room you can still save. You can never compare here or Nigeria. This is a first world country.
👏👏👏
Correct...no comparison
Its not about the money.
Being a "Tisha" in this abroad??? 🤯 Lailai....never . Not with the kind of kids the society pops out these days....its one of the fastest means of depression.
Honestly na die
🤣🤣🤣
High blood pressure loading 😔

How can you teach those that don't like you, I once experience what british university student at teessides university middleborough did one yoruba professor, she was intentional embarrassed because of accent.
QTS Qualified Teacher Status. A ny nigerian teacher that comes here will be in shock. As a 21 year old science teacher I taughr 58 student GCSE classes and was greatly respected. I came to the UK years later and could not control a class of 20 students Forget ir they wil start most foreign teachers off on 22k. I can't wait for 2023 Nigeria must get it right. Good job Phrankleen. Tanks for the wisdom
You’re welcome 😊
28k will leave you in poverty in the UK.
It’s a lovely carrot 🥕 😊
Not outside london 🙈
Maybe but will they have a choice? My guess is they won't be in the nicest areas. It will be where there is a need. Also it's 28,000lbs before taxes. Will there be enough housing for everyone who needs to come?
@@JamConcerned it’s the average Uk salary. You are all clearly earning above 28k I assume. It’s not poverty. Uk is still a first world country so you will get your basic needs with that salary. It wont be a luxurious life but we all need to start somewhere.
@@Audreylalaland Lets hope they will keep the job longer than 2years without breaking down mentally. Teaching in the Uk is like a war front. Its at that point you will realise 28k was selling yourself short.
Everything you're saying is so true. They better listen up!
You said it all!!
They create the program, and then, when you get there with your valuable degree , you end up with different miniatures jobs.
They do it on purpose just to take out the geniuses from Africa
They are desperate because their population is aging out and the younger people are all lazy and too busy on social media all day to study….so better recruit outside.
It's an aging population,but l won't entirely say that majority of the younger population are lazy, they just would not take on jobs because of poor pay..most of them prefer jobs outside the country.
No, that is not in the best interest of Africa. You are totally correct in your analysis. May God help His children to become as wise as a serpent, because that's the spirit of the people they are considering dealing with, and as gentle as a dove!
💯
Wow! They are offering you guys poverty. Y’all keep think wp like us if you want to 😂🤣😂😂😂
🥰No lies detected. Very factual, enlightening & informative. He who have ears let them hear. After all said & done some people with selective hearings will still fall for this deception & slavery. Thanks Phrankleen
Hello Phrankleen.
Am glad you touched on this.
I came in 2007 and i had a Bsc ed degree from Nigeria. I really love to remain in that teaching line. I sent my results to Naric for evaluation. I was told i needed a Post graduate certificate of educatoon to teach in the Uk. I know a man that did the PGCE and students still didnt like to go to class, they told their parents their teacher has an accent. In the end, this man was sent for further training. Do you know how many Africans have accent. I dont trust their intentions.
Basically, they will do their best to indoctrinate that teacher at his own expense so he can sound more like a stupid oyinbo?
If they are so smart, why don't their people go be teachers? But they would rather sit at home and do drugs and sleep with their animals.
Unfortunately UK kids will make fun of your accent
@@nkjv12 I was just about to say that when I read your comment. They will even mockingly correct you whenever you speak only because of accent.
They don't like to hear any other accent besides the British one. I don't even know why that is on offer. They must be desperate.
The man still didnt last in the job. He has a security training centre in Deptford and still alive to tell the story. The offer is not as easy as it sounds.
You’re very smart and bold Phrankleen. Have a happy holidays!
They never tell you that most of the money goes to high rent and taxes. That is the most important thing, people need to remember. The 28k is your gross amount BEFORE taxes. By the time that you get your net pay back, there is not enough money for groceries, rent, child care, transportation etc. Not to mention, they will require you to pay a lot of money, which you don't have for extra license and further education if you want to better yourself to make more than the 28k because your education is "too low" for them to consider. They will force you to redo your education all over again, as Phrankleen states, just to steal more money from you. Very good points brother!
$31K per year in Canada is minimum wage. You would be struggling financially. I spoke with a teacher that moved to Canada from Jamaica, she is stuck in a minimum wage job working as a cashier in a grocery store. Canada does not recognize her teaching degree from Jamaica. She regret giving up her teaching job in Jamaica.
Truly sad. People need to be told the truth that their life may actually be better in the first world than in the western hemisphere!
You need to making over 200000 dollars to own your home rent here in Toronto area is over 2600 hundred for 1 bedroom 3000 and up for a 2 bedroom.
No teacher in a recognised school in Canada will be on minimum wage. She is possibly teaching at a private daycare
@@ubongobot947 - she is not teaching, her Jamaican teaching degree is not recognized in Canada. That's why she is stuck working as a cashier in a grocery store. She obviously didn't do her research before giving up her teaching job in Jamaica. Unfortunately, a lot of immigrants make these terrible mistake.
@Phrankleen it would be good to do an episode on what the current situation of teaching is in the UK that has led to the home office coming up with this desperate policy. I remember while I was still living in the UK some years back I used to hear on radio talkshows of the high rate teachers were quitting the profession due to many problems with the school system and the pay.
Would be good to educate your viewers on the current situation, especially for those considering going for this offer.
Great awareness, Bro.
28, 000 sounds attractive but by the time you pay your rent, bills, and travel you will be left with nothing.
£28K in London is not enough. Those interested in coming should at least negotiate for nothing less than £40K. They need you, so do your demands too. The rents are ridiculously high and food prices are increasing non stop.
****Nigeria, vote right in this election, basedl on competence not ethnic group.
Old Europeans coming to Africa to marry young men/women, brain drain are all symptoms of Nigeria's economic decadence.
What is the blogger himself doing in the UK? Why don’t you come home and bring you brain to use in Nigeria as well.
He bruh, this doesnt really pertain to me so much but just a point to also remember that the UK like the US is a capitalistic plantation, and another thing to consider with stuff likr this is the economic conditions of native Brits that are teachers too. If I'm not mistaken, they were all just striking not too long ago trying to negotiate higher pays etc, so the UK (just like the US does) will use immigration as a tool to undercut the natives when the natives get to asking for too much. To the incoming immigrant, they need to know that kind of stuff too, because when countries/companies/industries do those iinds of things, they aid in stoking resentment amongst the natives. And the immigrants are non the wiser.. just my two cents from youe ADOS cousin over here observing. Peace.
It's unlawful here in the UK, but some headteachers/principals will threaten to withhold the renewal of sponsorship visas if migrant teachers join a trade union, which is sad because migrant teachers need the protection of trade unions the most.
That’s a really good point!!
Sounds a lot like the US
All is true..even in the US. Don't do it...
I have a pro and con about this
Pro: If a family or parent of 2 is willing to rent a cheap room or flat outside of say London...with husband or wife doing full time 10 pounds per hour for 40hrs a week...that is over 20,000 pounds which adds up to almost 50000 pounds as a couple...if they have nothing in Nigeria and can save 10k to 15k pounds annually...they can get a lot done in Nigeria in 10yrs.
Con: If you are a single teacher or single parent, go beyond your means, you will slave away with this type of wages because rent of 1000 pounds already takes away 12000 per year and you can easily spend 15k - 20k pounds per year...once you remove the taxes...the teacher might end up with nothing.
One can also come in, get UK teaching license then relocate to Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Canada to teach and make more money...or even the USA. Some parts of the US, teachers are paid 👍
@@daliaa5294 It's not a dream...if they are making 50,000 pounds...let's assume we follow the basic taxes of 20%, that takes the funds to 40,000 pounds. That's about 3300 pounds...they have to pay themselves 1250 pounds in order to reach 15000 pounds target leaving about 2000 pounds to spend. If they have children, they will get some income but we can leave that out...now it comes down to rent..where you rent, what you eat and what you buy...you can subsidize by buying some things directly from China. You don't eat out and keep rent at around 800 pounds and you can make the sacrifice for 5yrs and you save about N60m and 10yrs, about N120m...and that's assuming both spouses work one job...which might not be the case. Life will be hard but if you are coming from nothing, you can do just enough starting at say 35 and retire at 50 in Nigeria.
Once you start buying houses, car leases and all that...well then you have joined the rat race and will probably never make enough unless you plan to buy house to rent most of it and buy car to do uber on the side.
@@daliaa5294 Read my analysis...I didn't say 1200 per family.
@@daliaa5294 Let me explain again...a couple of 2
Each over 10 pounds/hr = over $400 per week for 52 weeks assuming one job each = close to 25,000 pounds which makes close to 50,000 pounds...
If they are living OUTSIDE London, you can get rental for 1000 pounds per month. Definitely you can't get that inside London. If they save 10,000 pounds...give or take, minus taxes, they will have close to 30,000 pounds or 2500 pounds per month...minus rent 1500 pounds per month...are you saying they cant survive on 1000-1500 pounds per month outside London???
Your example is still unrealistic.
If a childless couple was to come here firstly they need to be on the same page in terms of going back to Nigeria in 5 years.
Secondly minimum wage is around £19,000 which is the wage they would be on.
Thirdly I can tell you from reality it's damn hard for a couple to get a room.
Unless they are renting from a mate.
You will be lucky if they can save £300 per month Between them.
And that's all on the provisions they don't have a baby in the interim.
@@daliaa5294 once you have children it's a wrap. 🤣🤣🤣 Just call yourself British and eat bangers and mash🤷🏾♀️.

I think that we need to stop even responding to these people. Until they give all the stolen artifacts back, don't do anything for them!! People pay big money to just see these artifacts. Probably where that 28000 salary is coming from! smh
Merry Christmas Phrankleen! Great content as per usual!
That's such a low wage, very true, I know people from jamaica are running from the crime here. You are so right they take the best of the other nations
I was a lecturer in a UK College teaching Engineering for almost 5 years. What I hated the most was the distraction we got from less intelligent kids disrupting lessons for those who where there to learn and not there because you have to be in Education till 18. I was heavily underpaid whilst my least educated and incompetent white counterpart was overpaid. Eventually they had to fire him. Due to personal circumstances I had to relocate back to Zimbabwe . Whilst not on par with other my salary was not on par with others it was okay for me. I had good and bad experiences. I helped some of my Black learners get into good Apprenticeship programs note not Universities. By doing so they avoided the experience trap. I have done my part but I don’t think I will be going back anytime soon.
You are right and the potential teachers are right to seek out for themselves. Your arguments while still living in the UK would not do much as they would have if you have relocated back to Nigeria. Your platform gives out good advice at the wrong time. Nevertheless, to counter this migration Nigerian government needs to make a move to attract and keep her best. People will always migrate to attractive locations; it is not peculiar to Africans
Shut up man, he has the right to advise because he understands the system more than the inexperienced nigeria
Thanks for this insight
If accommodation is included inclusive of all bills that would feel like a great apprenticeship rather than hard lahour given the damands of teaching for 28k.. However, they would need to understand why there is a shortage of school teachers and what are or were the current challenges of teachers that left or plan to leave.
It’s not the fault of the UK that Africans are too foolish to keep their own countries in order through the enthronement of good governance systems that would create the right socioeconomic environment needed to stop our youths from going overseas into voluntary enslavement. We are too myopic and selfish to embrace leadership selection processes that can enthrone leaderships based on merit rather than on tribal, religious and nepotistic considerations. As long as we refuse to wisen up to the fact that we must be eschew these multiple vices in our leadership selection process, we must continue to be hearing such bemoaning tales of woes as the one our brother Phrankleenis sharing with us on this platform. “Cry Thy Beloved Country “.
Who told you that Nigerian teachers are not paid well, come and see the kind of cars they drive, most of them even publish books and make sales, the black man is always deceived by the illusion of the west that is what we are saying.
No doubt, you made valid points. African countries and governments have to standardize governance, rule of law, create employment opportunities, improved educational curriculum, especially technical education, power, salary payment and living standards etc.
is the UK taking advantage of the economic struggles of the places like Nigeria? Why not offer the more meaningful salary of £45k
It’s so easy for people to sit in their comfort zones and become experts in pan-Africanism. While they so easily lose touch with the realities of the very people they seek to advice or analyze. I’m guilty of the same too. While venting my anger sometimes on a glass of champagne, I ramp and rage about the unfair and deliberately crafted structure against Africa and Africans with my friends and loved ones on the phone. Meanwhile this unfair pay never skips its due time, and helps solve quite a bit back home. I can afford to take trips with ease to anywhere and at anytime of the day without any fear of being forcefully domestically excavated by anyone (this time not by Europeans). I have access to health care which others call “Illusion of Inclusion!”. At least, my anger is only with the system…which I’m no novice to. So before we all go becoming elitists on media platforms, what alternatives do we have to offer these people who we see as running into well-crafted traps set by Europeans? Nothing…just noise and self-entitlements. Do you think these Europeans are supposed to cuddle and hug us in the first place???
What a great point here 👏👏👏👏
Well said brother!!
@Cosmas. Great!
£28,000???? Are they mad?? I hope Nigerian teachers don’t fall for this. This is an insult.
They are already falling....some are already giving testimonies in church

I'm happy someone is talking about this. I said the same thing to some guys. Besides, £28k is nothing in the UK. You are better off if you earn 100k in nigeria
I always follow you all your veiwsl what you said are facts and the truth, keep it up may be it will change our people perceptions
I totally understand your logical sense of reasoning, but let us check the reality of the original man in African, it's only when you have enough to eat and as well manage to give or care financially for people around you that you can think logically or critically. That is the reality.
In this 2022??
My aunt is a teacher and was getting 30, 000 before 2011. This is using people!!
That doesn’t sound like a whole lot of $$$. Sounds like any Nigerian teacher taking the bait will be financially strapped.
Seasonal blessings to you and your family, Phrankleen!!
How much do teachers earn in Nigeria? After retirement are their pension payments guaranteed ?
When you deduct your cost of living, how much will be left of your salaries 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 may we not go and suffer in vain.
It's seems it's a lose lose for most teachers in Naija. What a lot of them earn are peanuts. Some earn like 30k or 50.
But going to the UK is entirely another thing. I guess there are other places one can migrate to as a teacher. (Language barrier is another thing).
If one is earning 200k per month as a teacher or any other job, I won't advise such person to leave for UK.
Teacher na 12k, 15k salary...
Let me even shock you, I know of a school owned by abroad people but they pay their teachers 12k. Head mistress dey get 20k after working there for 20 years ..lol...
@@mylifeisinhishandsamen4167 I was even trying to be generous by mentioning 30k.
The last time I earned 50k as a teacher, it was 10 years ago. When you earn 12k a month and an opportunity to travel out comes, you will grab it with both hands. It just reminds me of the lepers that said if I perish, I perish.
The Culture Clash us a big challenge. Their colleagues will look down in them with suspicion and be prepared to report their every perceived misstep.., since they will be on shitty contracts and some kind of threat to the striking UK workers.
However, in their favour they may be better off than being back home where they can go for months without Pay in trying to function under terrible conditions. Also, if I had to take up that offer, once I get in, do a year or so but study to transition into an IT Consultant, even if it means moving to another country. 0n 28k in the UK, tax, rent, a few bills and transportation (to and from work), not mentioned feeding and clothing…
They will be lucky if they have £50-100 at the end of each month. I the example is for a single person without kids. The trick is no get in and advance yourself as quickly as possible or you will be stuck! at the bottom indefinitely.
This is a great video. The main issue as you highlighted is the lack of critical thinking when a carrot like this is being dangled.
Singapore isn't a poor country. It is far much more developed economically & technologically than the U.K. and the USA.
I visited Singapore in October. Lovely clean country the populace seemed far happier than depressed gloomy British people.
The amount of stress humiliation and racial microgressions they are about to experience. For 28k it's not worth it. 54k would be more reasonable
You know there’s no way 🙅🏾♂️ they are paying them the said 54K 😊
You cannot blame people for trying to change location. Nigeria is already a hellfire the way it is.
It's not enough to live off, unless they live with someone which is more feasible. Good luck to those who want to take the offer though.
You tell people about those of us who failed abroad and not check that there are those who succeded.
You fail to acknowledge that there are also those who failed living in Afrika.
Do you know that some of us with doing minial jobs in the UK, managed to educate ourselves?
Do you know that some of us managed to buy farms in our countries and we are not only producing food for the nation but also are employers?
Do you know that with the UK/US/Australia/NZ money we have sponsored education, build houses and others have opened industries?
All these things wouldn’t have been possible for some of us been unemployed in our respective countries in Africa.
Yes we are not stupid, we know the Geopolitics and how imperialism works.
In Afrika its only the few connected to the government, in most cases, who succed.
You need to have a real diagnosis of the conditions of Afrika, and stop looking at the symptoms.
Familiarise yourself with local Afrikan news, watch the alternative news and stop targettinb victims of the situtation.
Do you think that under normal condition, young Afrikans, women and children would just risk been made slaves in Libya, dying in the Sahara desert, drowning in the ocean, and be humiliated in Europe; for just the fun of it?
Do you think that it is stupidity and religion that makes young Afrikans take such risks?
Come on!
@
Mthokozisi Langa - what is the percentage of Africans that succeed in the west? Yes, many Africans do well in the west, but not the majority. The majority is working in low paying jobs, living paycheck to paycheck. Phrankleen is looking at the bigger picture. The powers to be are all about long term planning, 40, 60, 100 years. They put systems in place for their grand children or great grand children. How about you? Also, governments do not create jobs; jobs are created by entrepreneurs.
If African leaders cannot see the good in their citizens and do good by them, Africans will continue to migrate where there is at least some sort of normality regardless.
@@marvaclarke8757 What is the percentage of Africans succeding in Africa? The majority of Zimbabweans working minial jobs that I know of; have built beautiful houses both in South Africa and Zimbabwe. How many Africans in Africa who are doing minial jobs have built almost decent houses in Africa? Give us a percentage.
The majority of Zimbabweans educated themselves both in Europe and Australia working minial jobs, on top of that taking care of their people in Zimbabwe. How many Zimbabweans/Africans do you know who did or are doing minial jobs; who have furthered their education whilst doing minial jobs in Africa?
What you do is to only recognise an African doing a minial job and not notice a qualified nurse who educated her/himself doing minial jobs administering your medication. You guys are totally ignorant of the situation of Africans abroad.
Do you know that the most highly paid immigrants in Australia are Zimbabweans? Would that have happened if they listened to such bias content?
Zimbabwe was and is still been sanctioned by the west, and if it wasnt for the daispora sending hard earned Dollars of all sorts and Pounds to the Motherland, Zimbabwean situation would have been far much worse than that of Haiti.
Right now we bought farms doing minal jobs, those farms are producing food as we speak, those farms are employing people as we speak. With our minial jobs we are contribution to the GDP of our countries, in real time.
My friend in a rural area has managed to electrify a quarter of his area, he has built a fish farm which he partnered with the locals.
You are focussing on the negatives and ignoring the positive. You are abroad, why not interview holistically those people who are doing minial jobs and ask them if they are making any progress back home?
You look at the jobs they are doing and conclude that these people are foolish and cannot think.
During Covid, our people were solerly relying on money from abroad and we never failed them, no you do not know that.
I do not have a problem with advising people on what conditions they would find themselves in, should the migrate to Europe, but to stereotype Africans abroad as dumb and unthinking slaves, who foolishly leaves their lavish lives to become nonentities in Europe is totally wrong.
Who said that money from minial jobs cannot improve lives? Yes some of us lives hard lives abroad, however, you have no idea on what difference we make in our Mothetland, you habe no idea at all.
Please humble yourself and interview Africans who are doing minial jobs, not only about their lives abroad, but also find out if their hard labour/slavery in Europe does make a difference back home.
…and if you think that Europe’s racism is something scary, you do not know what we were born under. European racism, inexception of the Eastern Europe, is child’s play to the racism we were born and raised in. We can handle it and we are handling it without any stress. The point is that you should focus on is our goals.
People think that they are critical thinkers when in fact they are totally bias, and stereotype. Minial jobs is what you are judging other human beings with not the end results of their jobs.
@@mthokozisilanga4497 - Africa has 54 countries. It's like asking what percentage of Europeans succeed in Europe. In Canada only 48% of black people own a home. In the USA only 44% of black Americans own a home. The majority of black people in the west don't make enough to afford a home. There is also a growing homeless problem both in Canada and USA, people are living on the street. Yet, Canada and USA are two of the richest countries in the west. Africans need to stay on the continent and build their countries. The west don't care about Africans, they just want cheap labor to keep the western system going.
Please Let them go, I am interested in buying their properties back home in Nigeria. Awon Ode Akin dani dani. I thought Nigeria education sector is not okay. How come our teachers are now google enough to teach in the abroad. Poverty is really a bastard.
As a teacher in the UK for over 10 years. Chances are 98% of these recruited nigerian teachers will loss their dignity.. another form of slavery await..they will be made to understand that they should be grateful that they were employed and thing the do will be enough.
They just pillage what they need, but this one will be devastating..... they are taking out knowledge now😑
"The excavation of the best minds for the betterment of the United Kingdom." You couldn't have said that any better. At this point in time, Jamaica is exporting nurses and teachers. Our schools are paying for it right now and the govt couldn't care less if you ask me. Because at the end of the day every person who leaves the island equals remittances here.
Isn't it ironic... in the meantime, UK teachers flee to greener pastures (such as the Middle East) in droves to escape the misery. £28k sounds attractive until you realize you're on a zero hour's/hourly paid contract - meaning no work, no pay! Also, you're not afforded the same benefits as your UK colleagues (such as sick pay) . Dangling the carrot you say? Well, this carrot has a cankerworm at its core! Sometimes the green grass on the other side is astro turf! I wouldn't discourage anyone from going, but don't say you haven't been warned! Proceed with caution, at your own risk. Take the advice in these comments very seriously - research, research , research! Pray for the spirit of discernment - you'll certainly need it! Blessings for now and New Year🙏🏾
Nothing but facts.... Thank You!
You’re welcome 😊
It's called competitive advantage by way of trade by barter. There's nothing wrong if Nigeria developed its own system and offer same scheme for others to come to Nigeria where we are short skilled
It’s called BRAIN 🧠 DRAIN
@@Phrankleen13 Brain drain but not a permanent situation. The Nigerians I know are always open to return home and help build the nation but if the nation (after 60years) still behaves like a toddler, why would anyone want to go back. That is the real situation that creates brain drain
@@midefajobi7042 the nation behaves like a toddler because this nation 👉🏾 🇬🇧 Britain has been actively involved in its destruction till date.
@@Phrankleen13 we are over 60 years of self rule. It's high time we started looking at ourselves and not blame others. Remember our parents that studied here in the 50s & 60s rejected good jobs offered to them in order to return home ...so you need to ask yourself the question, why is the reverse the case?
Phrankleen,I love your content and the love you have for Afrika and our people.always on point,thank you my brother.Afrika needs more of you.keep on waking up our people. You have done well,good job.
That's great money if you want to live in someone's garden shed.
😂
People also need to ask themselves, why is there a need for this job? Why aren’t the people from this place doing it?
You’re absolutely right
Before you convert £28K into Naira (N17,800,000) big money isn't? :-) more than what most top professionals earn in Nigeria ...
but the reality is,
You get around £1900 monthly salary, after income tax, NI etc.
A nice 2 beds outside London costs around £1300, so you are left with £600.
Council Tax = roughly £200 per month, it can be higher or a little lower, but for illustration purposes, you are left with £400.
Transportation = £200 (If you are very lucky with the location o)
Food cost around £300 per month for a single adult. (in case you have a dependant)
Phone + Internet bill: £80
Water, £25
Gas and Electricity can cost £300 per month ...
I can't even name all the extras that will definitely pop up.
......
The fact is, £28,000 is a peanut salary, you are simply screwed.
Things may be a little better if you have an additional working partner or adults in the family, but you get the gist.
Don't come to the UK if you don't have a well-grounded strategic plan for your survival.
If you are over 40 and things are fairly working for you back home ... don't even think about starting all over here.
£28,000 is the starting salary for teachers to be recruited but those based in London will be £34,000.The annual salary of £28,000 looks quite small considering bills and other costs of living.At least it is far better than the nigeria factor where teachers are owed salary worth of many months and condition of living is poor.Settling with such salary of £28000 will be challenging.Many of my friends and I were even earning less than that as our starting salary,but that is now history.With determination,hardwork and prayer you can surely succeed in the UK.I hope the subject of this video won't deter teachers who are willing and interested to come to the UK.
PRAYER IN THE UK SYSTEM 😂😂chai
You have made very good points. The other angle to this, is the home government for example Kenya, doesn’t do good but its teachers, barely pays them (when it pays them).
Individually, why wouldn’t I want to do better for myself and my family, forsaking the overall community needs even for temporary moments?
It also opens doors to those teachers children for travel, and other opportunities that would have other otherwise never been available.
Mainly, let’s not always vilify the western governments for milking Africa when our leaders make it easy to do so. When you open a door to a thief, you only have yourself to blame.
When trying to escape a situation of "either life or death", one doesn't care about what is on the other side. All someone wants is to run and cross to the other side, then the person can worry about the new situation. People are working in Nigeria and earning 10 thousand Naira a month; some don't even have a source of income. Unemployment/underemployment is probably over 50%. So most Nigerians would jump at any opportunity for a better life in a developed country, even if it is a mirage.
My position is that anyone that wants to take the bait should go. Experience is the best teacher. The only solution I see is if someone has a family in Nigeria as a teacher and wants to raise a quick cash for business, s/he can sacrifice 2 or 3 years of his or life, move to UK, live like a church rat and send the money back to start something. But if it is to go and live in UK with any salary within that range, the person may slide into depression.
Meanwhile let's not fail to blame our people who place no values on themselves that they need validation from the West to exist.
Africans have became willingly laborers in the whole world. I am so hurt that am scheduled to work on Christmas day and is not allowed to call out because they short of laborers.
This is arguably the best UA-cam video I’ve ever watched in my life. Thank you for this insightful video. You are one of a kind. Please please don’t stop making your videos
Thanks, I appreciate the encouraging words
They ought to at least set their own salary if they need them that much. Tell the UK that you will do it for 60000. If they need you that much then they will comply. But they may comply in order to remove you from Afrika and take your knowledge and give it to EU as they move to Afrika. They are stealing from you people and you keep laying down and rolling over. You can't blame the leaders now if you agree to leave Nigeria. Make due with what you have there in Nigeria and suffer through your situation until God brings deliverance!!
Nothing but the truth. Please tell them ooo!
Also the difference in job etiquette will shock a Nigerian teacher. Children talk back you can’t admonish them the way you would in Africa/Nigeria
Students talk back to teachers in Lekki schools.
28k?! By the time you pay your bills you'll be in - 2000k overdraft 😂😂
You started by mentioning the lack of " critical thinking " in Nigeria and Africa. That " critical thinking " is missing in African education.
Happy Holidays to you and your family my dear brother 💐🌹🥀
✊🏾😊 Happy Holidays
2 questions
1 i thought 3rd world teachers are not good?
2 whats going on with uk teachers?
If the government of these home countries provide jobs so they can can afford to live a comfortable life, people wouldn’t have to run away from their countries.
Exactly my point. But the Nigerian government is an idiot and a typical puppet to the west and the UK to keep the hardship in the country going so that its people will always aspire to flee their home country for theirs. It's a strategy they've been using for years. This is because majority of Africans are stupid and lack foresight.
It's not about jobs, of course, they are jobs, Nigerian federal teachers get paid quite well, and they have the liberty to do what they please. but the black man is ready to burn what he has for the illusion of better life in the west.
@@johnnwabuforudemezue1108 Nigeria is 1 country. Many other countries do not have jobs for citizens. You study, you apply for jobs and if you have no connections then you are stuck. It’s not about running away, it’s about the lack of loyalty government shows it’s people but expect them to struggle all in the name of patriotism.
You are 100% correct.Many of the countries including Nigeria are less paid or even owed salary running into many months.There is no robust critical infrastructure in place and security is even appalling.Corrupt politicians who are visionless are running the institutions and economy into bankruptcy.With this mess in place,people would aways seek to move away from such countries.
That's my monthly income here in the states.
That's what you offer a high school grad who lives with his or her parents.
The reason the UK is importing foreign teachers, is the same system they have used for the NHS.
The public sector in the UK is being run down; neo-liberalism commodifies state run assets and imposes a price model. There are now incentives to keep the costs of public sector bodies low using rhetoric such as inflation is too high. It also undermines trade union who fought wages and conditions for British public sector workers, by importing cheaper labour.
Well said 👏🏾👏🏾
Another point is that British qualified teachers don’t want to work in this sector because of the bad behavior of the students. It’s a very sacrificial job in the UK.
It’s like that in the US as well. Thankless and stressful job!
It’s a trap
😂 let them enter the rat race… some folks will say you’re gate keeping or “you don dey there already so you no wan make others join” mentality.
There’s a reason why public sector workers, nurses, utility workers are striking… there’s a reason why teachers (British Nationals) are leaving their “passion” for pastures new.
They want cheap labour & When the Uk is done sucking you off for your visa application fees, you’ll see their true colours.
Who no hear, must feel! Happy holidays
Off course, Nigerian federal teachers are paid well, come and see the kind of cars, Nigerian teacher drive they even publish books makes sales come even get paid while not working I mean federal government teachers. MOst times they believe the west is always better.
Its not the money, £28k after taxes is chicken change. Its what you have to tolerate, from students and sometimes staff. Then, you've got bills (rent/mortgage, council tax, water, travel, phone, insurance, etc). You also work from 8am to 6pm (lesson planning, marking, training, etc); then there's the commute to and fro 5 days a week.
Some of the children and young people are so rude, illiterate and arrogant but there's nothing that can really be done about it. They're clueless about their future and its a shame because the country has fantastic resources.
The cultural difference is shocking but African students at least respect their teachers. Race isn't the issue, to be on 28k is a good start but remember that you're responsible for 30 students wellbeing and learning, students who have their own prejudices and bias, as well as any disabilities.
28000÷52 = 538.46 a week ÷ 5 days a week = £107.69÷ 10 hours a day = £10.769ph. Granted, you only work 40 weeks of the year but seriously?
28000 after tax= Max will be 24000. Then 2000 per month. Then rent + bills per month £1000 if with family I.e £1000. Then, upkeep 500 for 2 people. Savings 500. That's without kids, insurance, carers etc. So hmmm
