Oh Wooow. I am sure you gained some invaluable skills. I think the UK generally have had some unfriendly immigration polices (at least in the past) You need to be willing to keep spending and investing in the country to eventually settle, if that is one’s aim. Wishing you all the best.
Yes. I searched for job so much...even tried the British Military but was rejected. I guess it was never meant to be. In all I recommend people just be positive and upbeat no matter what life throws our way
This is what I believe in too, as a migrant you can help your home so much more by using your skills and resources and taking them back to your home country like Nigeria. It’s better for everyone.
At least you managed to afford to do those qualifications in Britain Many young people from that country also study and end up in debt and don't even end up with a good To be honest it's them I feel sorry for because they didn't ask for none of this They sadly live under a government who cares very little about their future
The honest truth...It is not a do or die affair, i would not advise anyone to overstay their visa or want to seek assylum or do something otherwise. Nigeria is still our home, u can always return and then restrategise or better still use your experience and skills gained in the UK to explore opportunities at home.
Good move!!!

Being an immigrant myself, I think you made a big and hard decision to move back home after investing in your studies and spending 5 years. It's good you decided not to stay and be illegal. You did the best for your future and other opportunities overseas. I hope you are still able to apply to be resident in uk, while in Nigeria, using your studies and experience gained while in the UK.

The fact that you had your undergraduate degree in the UK shows you are from a privileged family "rich" , hence going back to nija where things have been possibly laid out for you. I had a friend who went back and really struggled to find any thing, couldnt sustain herself and 5 years later is back to the UK.

Well, Ejike your advocacy for Nigeria is good but unfortunately thats not how the country will treat you back. You had this view because you went to UK so early. I bet you very soon you will want to leave the country
You are privileged brother. Securing undergraduate degree and graduate degree reveals you are from an affluent family. Hence returning home is nothing but to meet a layout provision for you. Omo, na Escape we escaped ooo. No returning anytime soon. To secure HND, it was war. To find tuition to come to US for Pilot training, na horse pass through the eye of a niddle. So brother, enjoy the blessings of your sponsors and guidance. Congratulations.
That’s if all you are looking for is personal success. As for your coming back to contribute, I pray the leadership change if not all your contribution will be like water on docks back
That’s good for you bro. What off those people that their family took lone and send them abroad in other to help their family back home. What do you think will happen to them if they return home with just book in their head and no money?
I just stumbled through your channel. I would like you to take thos as constructive feedback. You have very valid points in your video but there was a bit of repetition and rambling all through and it almost fell inconclusive st the end. Nevertheless, you are a Nigerian that someone should be proud of. Good luck in your endeavours.

Africans will always discourage you from moving back home. I am sure the people that know you were confused by your decision😂 I also plan to return back home to Ghana after school. I am half Nigerian
Please do. No big deal living thar funny looking life overseas. I am based in Germany and l have long time concluded on returning home shortly, though l have spent 15 years already in Europe both in Italy and Germany. What's in the life apart from being happy? Happiness over wealth. Make some money for some years and go back home
Laughing at you. Darkness has been hovering over Nigeria since independence as the country could hardly utilize its hydrocarbon gift to produce electricity. It is a thousand president away but even that time would never materialize.
@@nnfefe9451 I was about to reply to the comment "Nigeria is one president away to become a super power" until I read your comment. Power cut aka N.E.P.A is a staple, Traffic is a staple, the list goes on. God Bless Nigeria though🙏
I wish you success Ejike. It's never a do or die affair. Your decision is valid and I say this just in case anyone chooses to project their own reality on you. There are so many good sides about Nigeria that most Nigerians take for granted. They forget that what is far away can be deceptive. A visit or residence in the western world makes clear these advantages. A lot of our people glamourise the western world as a sort of paradise that it's not. They fail to see that just as the western world has its good sides, Nigeria also has a lot too which they probably choose to not or don't seem to see. Migration is great but should be done with clear, strategic and impactful as well as life fulfilling reasons. One key aspect about life's fulfillment is that money is not everything and there are so many factors that actually determines truly what a great quality of life is. Most Nigerians who migrate neglect this aspect and don't evaluate their migration decisions holistically and in long terms. One major problem is that unhealthy mentality of "escaping" Nigeria to a utopia believing that Nigeria will be what it will be at its own time while the Utopia embraces and nurtures them. The truth is that if we Nigerians want a great country, we can get it. This can only be done on the foundations of honesty, unity, integrity, selflessness, courage, knowledge and civility. Unfortunately, these traits are currently scarce in Nigeria. Most of our people have been and are held by the trap of "me/ my own". Our collective consciousness towards achieving a conducive, great and prosperous nation isn't significant enough to bear one at the moment. Hopefully one day, we as a people will tell ourselves the truth and do what's necessary to make our country better. This is my perspective, however to each his/her own.
Some of the commnts allude to the fact that you must come from a wealthy home to do an undergrad and then a post grad. Not true at all. I know some nigerians that worked paid their school fees and graduated. Continued the same process and did their post graduate. Now they are looking for a sponsor to do their Phd. Going back to their country is not an option. Also once you finish your studies the government gives you 2 years post study to work etc for a fee. Its not easy but itd doable
Bro , you made an unpopular decision , that shows you are a man of integrity. I just sub to support you . So many folks who se desperate engage in all manner of activities just to stay in the Uk 🇬🇧. I will call you so we can discuss more ❤
Прочитал комментарии. Самое смешное, что в комментариях агрессируют на простого черного парня, а не на араба в мусульманском квартале. Не обращай на них внимания, это суть всех европейцев, такое трусливое поведение в них взрощено столетиями, они могут агрессировать только в сторону тех, на кого им разрешило правительство, или на тех, кто физически очень далеко). Удачи!
Hope you have made it in Nigeria? Nigeria is hard for an ordinary man , you have to have money to survive in Nigeria even if you have the skills and ideas , you still need money to live comfortably .I want to believe you are from a rich home ,thats why you went back home.
Good on you for moving back, I urge more of your fellows to do the same. They're being exploited in large numbers and finding out soon or a generation down the line, it is a con job and not intended to benefit you.
I hope you will not regret your decision. If you can achieve this much in 5 years in a foreign land, I hope your country will put you to good use but we all know how Nigeria works
A time will come when travelling abroad to become a human will be archaic. He has made the best decision for himself. Nigeria is bad but people are still being successful. Its a matter of individual destinies and choices. What quality of life are you living where ever you are matters. Your food, your rest of mind, your thought state, if you live overseas and are sincere you will understand what l mean. Alot of us have returned home and many more are planning so as long you have your personal plans,equipped and organised.Nigeria still remains one of the best places in the world if you have experience the life outside. I prefer my people to be sincere and honest with themselves. If you have enough money to keep your life running, what the fuck will one be doing in a foreign land not your home. Its a matter of choice, for me no prestige living abroad, if you are fed up with the life out there, you go home and make best use of your life. Life is only once and better to live it in quality.
So you came to the UK and gained a brilliant education and taking it back to your homeland. The problem is people come to the UK and leave when it’s been used to their benefit. We have an old generation who retired abroad and spend their wealth abroad and when they need health care they come back to take from it again. We historically have been used.
I kinda disagree with u on that, ur will power and hardwork can make u make it everywhere n that it is not about ur location...my bro u can be very skilled, experienced n hardwork but if u don't find Urself in a country where systems works, the system will frustrate n tout all ur hard works n efforts. I am saying that, in this life, it is not one size fits all
I hope you get that visa to wherever you want to go. You will realize what this young man and others like him are saying is the truth unlike the deceivers who are all over the social media. Don't go to foreign country illegally or live there illegally. Especially now that many western countries are anti immigrants (most importantly black immigrants).
Good for him to return to Nigeria after studies. However, I will never blame Nigerians who go to and want to remain in the UK, other European countries or American, due to the dire economic and security situation in Nigeria. Nothing works in that Nigeria due to principally the corrupt and selfish politicians, leaders and bankers in Nigeria who have completely ruined the country. The very sad thing is that many modern day politicians in Nigeria enjoyed a very peaceful and economically prosperous country back in the 1970s and early 1980s where Nigerians drank water from taps not present day bore holes, supermarkets like Kingsway and Leventis, Nigerian Airways etc etc. But look at Nigeria today and how messed up the country is!!!! I will never return to settle in Nigeria.!!!! I will never return to Nigeria. Yeah the UK has it's economic situation buy a least people can eat affordably, cloth affordably and have a national free health service (Uk NHS)
Brother; I couldn't have said it any better myself. We have to do our research and more importantly apply for the appropriate visas to any country. I will leave it at that.
The lesson for every foreigner in diaspora is to save, save save save, forget designers make sure you have the money and investment to make yourself comfortable, nothing is predictable anywhere, hold unto God the Almighty
Where the money to save? I dey one abroad, for nine years, I barely save 200 euros per month despite being single. Just held down with shitty menial jobs ....
Now im suffering over here i came through study route to Austria Europe two weeks later my parents where kidnapped and im suffering i studied international relations in university of Benin what should i do
Sorry to hear about your situation…that’s really sad to hear. I think you should work with your family members back home to secure their release. I pray for their safe release 🙏
@@Emmanuel_Ejike. Unfortunately, 98% of Nigerians looking to Japa and the ones that already here will not agree with him , even though, he is been honest, some Nigerians says that they will rather sleep on the streets in United Kingdom, than return to their home country.
I came for studies currently in the UK, and I hear many Nigerians say they would never go back, that if nothing works they rather seek Asylum. But I don't feel that way, so I hide my thoughts bcuz it's the odd one. Nigeria has its issues but those that can go back and contribute their quota should do so. Thanks for your insight on this.
You are welcome. Even with the newly introduced post study visa in the UK, I will advise prospective students looking to settle after studies to rather look at countries like, Australia, Canada etc for studies. UK is a small country, quite saturated and is looking for all measures to reduce net Imigration, except for in demand courses. Their policies regarding Imigration can be quite unpredictable.
there are no basic amenities in nigeria and with the growing concerns of insecurity it is indeed quite concerning. I was an advcoate for returning back to nigeria but not right now. it is going from bad to worse.
Thanks for sharing this thoughts, I for one have never really been a fan of the U.K. from Day 1, so am not really surprised at all as there are better countries in the E.U. that Nigerians can explore such as France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, then for biz Italy, and Spain.
Yes but those countries you have mentioned are best for some certain age not for all ages. If you are above 30 or 35 years l would prefer the English speaking countries. You go to Europe and start learning sacks of languages before you can be able to make real progress there. I live in Germany and here language is everything and you won't learn that overnight. It takes time. Then consider your age and rate of making your dreams come through there. If you are approaching 40 years or already above 40 years of age please forget about the EU. You will regret that move, because from a distance all islands look beautiful till you arrive.
@@peterahanor5689 well you have a point in terms of the language as nothing good comes easy. Then. one of the best advise for any African migrant going overseas is to check how receptive those countries are to immigrants and the jigsaw puzzle will be easy to sort out for you

Thanks for your video.
I don’t have a choice too, but I also won’t completely write Nigeria off. We just have to remain positive about the future regardless.
You did the best thing. With your qualification you would be good.
You have a choice of where to stay. God bless you 🙏 ❤️ 🙌.....
Thank you for leaving.
Getting rid of all immigrants won't help UK survive. Uk is dying and it's not due to immigration it's due to policy.
Good luck man in your country. East or West home is the best...
Great video!
Thanks!
No place like home u did very good
Thank you
Well, Ejike your advocacy for Nigeria is good but unfortunately thats not how the country will treat you back. You had this view because you went to UK so early. I bet you very soon you will want to leave the country
You are privileged brother. Securing undergraduate degree and graduate degree reveals you are from an affluent family. Hence returning home is nothing but to meet a layout provision for you.
Omo, na Escape we escaped ooo. No returning anytime soon. To secure HND, it was war. To find tuition to come to US for Pilot training, na horse pass through the eye of a niddle.
So brother, enjoy the blessings of your sponsors and guidance. Congratulations.
You right
It’s relatively not easy to fund education in any part of the world. My case wasn’t easy too, but I am grateful for the opportunity.
Your motives are good, so goodness will follow you wherever you go...Well done 👍
Well done for making a right decision at right time.I wish you good luck.
You have spoken wisely.
Thanks
You're absolutely correct. It's always good to do some checks before relocation. Thank you for the video.
It’s a pleasure
You are making sense bro
Thanks you
Most of our Nigerians belittle themselves..
That’s if all you are looking for is personal success. As for your coming back to contribute, I pray the leadership change if not all your contribution will be like water on docks back
Speak for yourself. It's people like you in large numbers that draw Africa backwards.
lots of brits are leaving, mainly to Australia. Uk is depressing as hell
Waooo, good to see you. Well done, you are doing well. We miss you here.
Thank you! 😃
at least you planned to go back.and reach ur target.this is what we should all do .we can not leave here for ever .home sweet home 😊😊😊😊
That’s good for you bro. What off those people that their family took lone and send them abroad in other to help their family back home. What do you think will happen to them if they return home with just book in their head and no money?
Let’s hope he stays there
Once you have those skills and experience. You can leave Nigeria anytime and settle elsewhere, so returning to Nigeria isn't a trap.
I totally agree!
Run away. Ahhhhh haaaayyyyy
I just stumbled through your channel. I would like you to take thos as constructive feedback. You have very valid points in your video but there was a bit of repetition and rambling all through and it almost fell inconclusive st the end.
Nevertheless, you are a Nigerian that someone should be proud of.
Good luck in your endeavours.
Research is paramount.

Dont blame you mate. Uk has gone to pot. Glad you got your degree. Best of luck Fella

I totally agree with you and wish you success and hapuness
Thank you

Africans will always discourage you from moving back home. I am sure the people that know you were confused by your decision😂 I also plan to return back home to Ghana after school. I am half Nigerian
Sometimes moving back home is the best option after you might have weighed your options.
@Emmanuel_Ejike it's better than being arrested or deported
Please do. No big deal living thar funny looking life overseas. I am based in Germany and l have long time concluded on returning home shortly, though l have spent 15 years already in Europe both in Italy and Germany. What's in the life apart from being happy? Happiness over wealth. Make some money for some years and go back home
Akuffo Addo and his squad are waiting for you 😂😂
Nigeria is one president away to become a super power
Laughing at you. Darkness has been hovering over Nigeria since independence as the country could hardly utilize its hydrocarbon gift to produce electricity. It is a thousand president away but even that time would never materialize.
@@nnfefe9451 I was about to reply to the comment "Nigeria is one president away to become a super power" until I read your comment. Power cut aka N.E.P.A is a staple, Traffic is a staple, the list goes on. God Bless Nigeria though🙏
Very true @johnwabuforudemezue1108
@@Emmanuel_Ejike it can never happen.
In your dreams
Emmanuel l am coming home for Christmas , l missed my country Nigeria home sweet home
Yeah, you should come visit for Christmas
Nigerians believe the skills they acquired in Nigeria are inferior. Please, don't rate yourselves lower.
I wish you success Ejike. It's never a do or die affair. Your decision is valid and I say this just in case anyone chooses to project their own reality on you. There are so many good sides about Nigeria that most Nigerians take for granted. They forget that what is far away can be deceptive. A visit or residence in the western world makes clear these advantages. A lot of our people glamourise the western world as a sort of paradise that it's not. They fail to see that just as the western world has its good sides, Nigeria also has a lot too which they probably choose to not or don't seem to see. Migration is great but should be done with clear, strategic and impactful as well as life fulfilling reasons. One key aspect about life's fulfillment is that money is not everything and there are so many factors that actually determines truly what a great quality of life is. Most Nigerians who migrate neglect this aspect and don't evaluate their migration decisions holistically and in long terms. One major problem is that unhealthy mentality of "escaping" Nigeria to a utopia believing that Nigeria will be what it will be at its own time while the Utopia embraces and nurtures them. The truth is that if we Nigerians want a great country, we can get it. This can only be done on the foundations of honesty, unity, integrity, selflessness, courage, knowledge and civility. Unfortunately, these traits are currently scarce in Nigeria. Most of our people have been and are held by the trap of "me/ my own". Our collective consciousness towards achieving a conducive, great and prosperous nation isn't significant enough to bear one at the moment. Hopefully one day, we as a people will tell ourselves the truth and do what's necessary to make our country better. This is my perspective, however to each his/her own.
The UK is the last place I would go. Really.
Emmanuel.
I really recommend watching the recent video From topical Juice.
He's not Wrong about the toxicity of England 👍
Some of the commnts allude to the fact that you must come from a wealthy home to do an undergrad and then a post grad. Not true at all. I know some nigerians that worked paid their school fees and graduated. Continued the same process and did their post graduate. Now they are looking for a sponsor to do their Phd. Going back to their country is not an option.
Also once you finish your studies the government gives you 2 years post study to work etc for a fee. Its not easy but itd doable
Yes please everyone go back home
I study diploma in adult nurse and the fees was paid for by the national health service but moving on was the probem
This is a good decision nor the Nigerians in UK doing care with PhD. You did well to return as an engineer you will be a millionaire in 3 years time 🎉
😀😀Thank you
Lol. Most I have come across are cleaners or security guards.
Bro , you made an unpopular decision , that shows you are a man of integrity.
I just sub to support you .
So many folks who se desperate engage in all manner of activities just to stay in the Uk 🇬🇧.
I will call you so we can discuss more ❤
It wasn't really much of a choice. Since your visa/permit was expiring.
Прочитал комментарии. Самое смешное, что в комментариях агрессируют на простого черного парня, а не на араба в мусульманском квартале. Не обращай на них внимания, это суть всех европейцев, такое трусливое поведение в них взрощено столетиями, они могут агрессировать только в сторону тех, на кого им разрешило правительство, или на тех, кто физически очень далеко).
Удачи!
Magnificent 👍
Many thanks
Hope you have made it in Nigeria? Nigeria is hard for an ordinary man , you have to have money to survive in Nigeria even if you have the skills and ideas , you still need money to live comfortably .I want to believe you are from a rich home ,thats why you went back home.
You don’t have to be from a rich home to return to your country of origin after studies :)
Life is hard for an extra ordinary European person in Europe too
You should have taken many of your friends with you to help your country.
Good on you for moving back, I urge more of your fellows to do the same. They're being exploited in large numbers and finding out soon or a generation down the line, it is a con job and not intended to benefit you.
I hope you will not regret your decision. If you can achieve this much in 5 years in a foreign land, I hope your country will put you to good use but we all know how Nigeria works
Thank you. I remain positive and confident about the future
I really get disgusted by Africans who hate their countries
Nigeria works how you make it work. It's people that make countries. Countries don't make themselves.
Keep your negative view of Nigeria to yourself.
A time will come when travelling abroad to become a human will be archaic. He has made the best decision for himself. Nigeria is bad but people are still being successful. Its a matter of individual destinies and choices. What quality of life are you living where ever you are matters. Your food, your rest of mind, your thought state, if you live overseas and are sincere you will understand what l mean. Alot of us have returned home and many more are planning so as long you have your personal plans,equipped and organised.Nigeria still remains one of the best places in the world if you have experience the life outside. I prefer my people to be sincere and honest with themselves. If you have enough money to keep your life running, what the fuck will one be doing in a foreign land not your home. Its a matter of choice, for me no prestige living abroad, if you are fed up with the life out there, you go home and make best use of your life. Life is only once and better to live it in quality.
So you came to the UK and gained a brilliant education and taking it back to your homeland. The problem is people come to the UK and leave when it’s been used to their benefit. We have an old generation who retired abroad and spend their wealth abroad and when they need health care they come back to take from it again. We historically have been used.
Home is where the heart❤ is.
Yourrrrr country?
I kinda disagree with u on that, ur will power and hardwork can make u make it everywhere n that it is not about ur location...my bro u can be very skilled, experienced n hardwork but if u don't find Urself in a country where systems works, the system will frustrate n tout all ur hard works n efforts. I am saying that, in this life, it is not one size fits all
I hope you get that visa to wherever you want to go. You will realize what this young man and others like him are saying is the truth unlike the deceivers who are all over the social media. Don't go to foreign country illegally or live there illegally. Especially now that many western countries are anti immigrants (most importantly black immigrants).
Good for him to return to Nigeria after studies. However, I will never blame Nigerians who go to and want to remain in the UK, other European countries or American, due to the dire economic and security situation in Nigeria. Nothing works in that Nigeria due to principally the corrupt and selfish politicians, leaders and bankers in Nigeria who have completely ruined the country. The very sad thing is that many modern day politicians in Nigeria enjoyed a very peaceful and economically prosperous country back in the 1970s and early 1980s where Nigerians drank water from taps not present day bore holes, supermarkets like Kingsway and Leventis, Nigerian Airways etc etc. But look at Nigeria today and how messed up the country is!!!! I will never return to settle in Nigeria.!!!! I will never return to Nigeria. Yeah the UK has it's economic situation buy a least people can eat affordably, cloth affordably and have a national free health service (Uk NHS)
Well that’s why we need more people to move back to nija to help stop the corrupt government. If everybody leaves then it only gets worse.
Brother; I couldn't have said it any better myself. We have to do our research and more importantly apply for the appropriate visas to any country. I will leave it at that.
so true
The lesson for every foreigner in diaspora is to save, save save save, forget designers make sure you have the money and investment to make yourself comfortable, nothing is predictable anywhere, hold unto God the Almighty
The reality is saving is hard with the constant demands from Nigeria to be sending money here and there
Where the money to save? I dey one abroad, for nine years, I barely save 200 euros per month despite being single. Just held down with shitty menial jobs ....
@@mylifeisinhishandsamen4167Nawa oooo. Nahim I deh envy una
Now im suffering over here i came through study route to Austria Europe two weeks later my parents where kidnapped and im suffering i studied international relations in university of Benin what should i do
Am so sorry to hear this ,I hope u find a way out of this but I wouldn’t advice you to rush back home immediately…
Sorry to hear about your situation…that’s really sad to hear. I think you should work with your family members back home to secure their release. I pray for their safe release 🙏
I hope they could listen ( The japas)
hahaha
@@Emmanuel_Ejike. Unfortunately, 98% of Nigerians looking to Japa and the ones that already here will not agree with him , even though, he is been honest, some Nigerians says that they will rather sleep on the streets in United Kingdom, than return to their home country.
I came for studies currently in the UK, and I hear many Nigerians say they would never go back, that if nothing works they rather seek Asylum. But I don't feel that way, so I hide my thoughts bcuz it's the odd one. Nigeria has its issues but those that can go back and contribute their quota should do so.
Thanks for your insight on this.
You are welcome.
Even with the newly introduced post study visa in the UK, I will advise prospective students looking to settle after studies to rather look at countries like, Australia, Canada etc for studies. UK is a small country, quite saturated and is looking for all measures to reduce net Imigration, except for in demand courses. Their policies regarding Imigration can be quite unpredictable.
They think the asylum system is that easy to navigate. They should also check the proposed Rwanda policy for assylum seekers
I just to subscribe to your channel. Kudos to you son.
@@omoniyikayeThank you
there are no basic amenities in nigeria and with the growing concerns of insecurity it is indeed quite concerning. I was an advcoate for returning back to nigeria but not right now. it is going from bad to worse.
I'm unable to view ,there's only audio
Oh really! I am not sure the problem is from my end
Thanks for sharing this thoughts, I for one have never really been a fan of the U.K. from Day 1, so am not really surprised at all as there are better countries in the E.U. that Nigerians can explore such as France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, then for biz Italy, and Spain.
Thanks for sharing!
Yes but those countries you have mentioned are best for some certain age not for all ages. If you are above 30 or 35 years l would prefer the English speaking countries. You go to Europe and start learning sacks of languages before you can be able to make real progress there. I live in Germany and here language is everything and you won't learn that overnight. It takes time. Then consider your age and rate of making your dreams come through there. If you are approaching 40 years or already above 40 years of age please forget about the EU. You will regret that move, because from a distance all islands look beautiful till you arrive.
@@peterahanor5689 well you have a point in terms of the language as nothing good comes easy. Then. one of the best advise for any African migrant going overseas is to check how receptive those countries are to immigrants and the jigsaw puzzle will be easy to sort out for you
I don’t know. Very few people from africa are in those countries and they treat them strangely. Unless they know they are blx from UK or USA. That’s what I’ve seen.
@@peterahanor5689 True words spoken, from outside everything looks nice and shiny, but the reality is a shit show.
