    One advice my uncle gave me when i entered Canada is, you can lose everything you bring or bought, but never lose your job. No matter how much you save, it will only last you for 3months... I'm a guy that always listen to the world of elders, no matter how silly it might sound. I always thank him for this advice... No matter how much you save in abroad, if u lose your job and you are unable to get it within 3months, you go hear am

    I think God wanted you to go through it.
    I had a similar experience. Mine was about 8months, married with 2 kids and a new born at that time. Wife was not working at that time.
    Our company closed and they actually paid us off for 3months. Then my sister just got admission in the UK.
    I was quite worried but awaiting a job offer which later didn't come. I just decided to keep quiet. When people will ask including family members, i will say i don't have. But i used to give when i had my job.
    The one that made me just rethink my life was when my mother said I am jealous thats why i didn't support my sister. Meanwhile, i still managed to support her with flight money of 500pounds even though she had already landed in the UK because that was my intention before i lost my Job.
    So, i learnt one thing -you won't please everyone in this journey of life. Would have said lots of things but it would be too long.
    Thankfully, l later got a much better job and pay.
    Wishing you all the best and affliction will not rise the second time 👌

    Truth be told that high pressure hamster wheel is the rest of your life in the uk and it does not get any better unless you win the lottery for a million pounds and can cash down for a house then you can have rest of mind in the uk. Anything short of that it’s high pressure environment of fast coming bills and jobs that don’t pay much and taxation. It’s why I left. Am a uk citizen but living in lekki now. Rest of mind. Wake up anytime I want and I can sleep for a whole year without falling through the cracks of bills and mounting debts. Naija is very sweet my brother. Those of you who japa will get to find out. Me I japada in 2019. Only issue about naija is looking for a way to earn pounds while in naija. Even earning just 200 pounds a month from some online source, that’s 400k a month. You are chopping life. Forget that japa thing. It’s a scam. You soon get to find out rest of mind is more valuable than first world infrastructure. Infrastructure that you can’t enjoy because bills is flying at you every 25 minutes, as my brother said a whole month feels like 25 minutes lol

    Experience and exposure are the best teachers. Unfortunately, as a Senior Citizen, try to advise our youth on these things and “Steps in life” and you are regarded as “old school”. The grass is always greener from afar until you get here. Thank God, you were able to secure a job over time. Sure, lessons have been learnt. Stay blessed.

    Those were big mistakes to go on holiday, send money to everybody back home, and buy a big new TV without having another job lined up. If you have passed your driving test Those savings would have been better spent buying a transit van. It not being that difficult making £1500 per week as a self employed delivery driver/removals driver.

    The new generation of Nigerians coming into the UK need to get advice from those who've been here for decades..l mean, nobody will advice you to get into overdraft etc having had a clean credit slate and a lot of money before! It feels to me that a lot of people newly arriving are just groping in the dark..they've come with a lot of fantasy and ideals and tend to be 'stand-off' ish when you try to befriend them, l just don't understand it. Many will needlessly have to learn the hard way, hopefully earlier so that they can re-adjust quickly!
    Yes there is pressure everywhere! The difference is that western countries have infrastructure that works and solid rules in place

    i relate to you contracting is good when it good but when its not good , you finish spending the money with nothing left as quick as and God help you get a job quickly . but its our greedy Nigerian Government causing all of us to run away from there . Good question how did we get here . if not for God keeping us , it can be very challenging but most still want to come here.

    Can I just ask why you went away on vacation when you had no job? The biggest mistake you can ever make in this country is not having at least 3 month's salary in savings ie an emergency fund, this is especially the case if you do not have a permanent job.
