《Being Nigerian In A Foreign Country.》I've got bills!
Advertisement
I've got bills, I gotta pay, so I'm gon' work work work everyday.
This is the story of most Nigerians in the UK.
It breaks my heart for the way some Nigerians live in the UK. It truly does. Imagine finding someone who is from a very wealthy background in Nigeria, and what are they doing here in England? A cleaning job or a security guard.
I mean, don't get me wrong at all. I don't oppose hard work or honest living at all. But come on, if you know you do better in Nigeria than you do here in England, then why are you here? Is something wrong with your medulla? Please take the next flight to MMA sharp sharp. It doesn't make sense if you were living in luxury in Nigeria and you come to stay in England and you're in squalor.
Ahhhh! No na.
Shio, is it a must to live abroad?
I know most individuals are in search of greener pastures and they seem to think it's here. Well, sometimes, your greener pasture isn't where you think it is o. It might not be England. It might be another country. It might even be there in Nigeria, where you're trying to escape from.
Some Nigerians here have made something for themselves. (I duff my hat for those ones.) They've tried. E no easy. For them, their 'greener pastures' were indeed in the UK and they found it.
Very fortunate people. Good for them!
But then, some other people are working their arses off just to make ends meet. Some people are doing three jobs, squatting with random strangers in a box room or a basement to spend the night.
I'm sure you're thinking, "Does this happen in England?" Yes o, my brother, my sister, it does happen. I know of someone who has more than a couple of Masters Degree and he works as a security guard.

A security guard!
Someone with more than two Masters Degree!
*Loooong Sigh*
And another issue: You work and work and work, at the end of the day, you won't see the money. Biko why?
The fact is, just don't get too excited when it's pay day, because you know dem bills gon' come flooding in through the post box, that you will not know what hit you. You think you're getting money o, but the Government is using style to take it back with their plenty bills.
Jesu!
Water bill, gas/electricity bill, council tax, TV license, mobile phone bill, broadband bill, house rent. And if you own a car, MOT, car insurance, Road tax (then pray your car doesn't get a fault). All these numerous bills to pay out of your salary and that is even excluding food, clothes and your basic upkeep. Then plus if you have extra mouths to feed.
There is God o!!!!
We don't pay plenty bills like this in 9ja o. We always manoeuvre our way out of it.
Up 9ja!
NEPA cut light? We climb ladder and fix it. There are boreholes in each compound for water. TV license, council tax, MOT, car insurance, road tax? Wetin be all those one?
Mtchewwww
They should epp somebody small by reducing the numerous bills. I
