''the Uk'': The True Story: by emmagined(m): 2:38pm On Nov 13, 2006
ok

now wats the story with the UK, truth be told, all man wan jah from naija, statement of fact, boys dey die for embassy, one of their destinations, UK.

now other men dey jand for a while, and truth be told, a lot of stories are sour, e no easy, e no easy, FACT!!! gba be,

end of the day, y e no easy for boys? 50% of people leaving naija to UK end up in LONDON, and ol boy London tight die, omo job wey boys dey do b4, na Poles dey collect am now, next year, HA!!! with Romania & Bulgaria coming in the EU, na God hand we dey,

My best advice, try comot for London B4 its too late, imagine wetin u dey go through, you dey pay like £300 for shared apartment (1 room), you go buy oyster(God help you if u dey Zone1), u go chop, u go pay 4 fone (mobile & land) , etc, on top of all na either care or Securico u dey do,

anyhow you spose get the gist,

Na true u talk. london is really expensive! Apparently, london is the most expensive city in the world. Also one bedroom in my area costs around 520pounds. That is y most of Naijaguys do fraud.

After all said and done, there are still lots of Nigerians living honestly ,working in decent jobs ,earning good income,living in their own property and paying the same price for living in an expensive place like London. Everyone's experience depends on their individual circumstances. Even the ones doing odd-jobs still live decently and manage to invest in their own buildings in Nigeria. The Poles,Romanians,Bulgarians are not really a threat to us. We still corner the Security Guards and Care Home markets while they mainly corner the Construction/Building markets.

I started living in a homeless hostel to a 1 bedroom shared flat, to a bedsit, to 2 a bedroom flat to owning a 3 bedroom Massionette in London. London may be expensive but the earth is the Lord's, and he is able to help us overcome the Giants in the land.

In my own case, I am a Bulgarian citizen (originally from Nigeria). I am making moves to relocate to the UK very soon. And am thinking of living in Glasgow, Scotland, but I know nobody over there. Is there someone who could just be of help by introducing me to the kind of life over there.

Let me know if you can so that I will provide you with my email address.

Thanks in advance.
