Every great man has a back story or humble beginning. THAT CAVE YOU MAYBE AFRAID TO ENTER MAYBE WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS....... Blessung comes disguised, through that UBER he will make few contacts that will connect him. He should stay humble, steadfast and positive. What he is doing is better than staying idle and over laddened with bills. Stay blessed 🙏 ✌

There is nothing wrong driving Uber to keep himself and his family afloat in the meantime, and then he can work his way to a different job.

To me all of this is just trash talk. There is nobody that JAPAa that does not struggle to settle. If he is doing Uber in UK....omo forget...e don settle be that. The house wey e get for Lekki, na e own abi na may-rent. If e bad for am like make e come back nah

Is uber driving a bad job ? Do you ever ride in one? That is one of the problems of we Nigerians we commonize the effort other people are putting into the society, thinking only a certain jobs is good enough. No job is greater than the other . If only the pilot can do everything there will be no need for air hostels and other stuffs at the airport from ticketing to checking in of passengers to boarding them to controlling the path of the aircraft The work of the pilot is not different from the work of the uber driver they are both transporting people from one loaction to another, Stupid ways of thinking, that commonize everything, your car maker is a mechanic, your plane builder is also a mechanic , yet we call them a common mechanic in nigeria, and if our car broke down we go looking for them Bad mentality. The work of the doctor is not different from the work of the mechanic, they are both reparing or trying to make either their human patients or car patients work. One repair cars the other repairs humans.

If the system get hold of your children hummm opari oo!! next time you see your daughter she’ll tell you her name is John!. There are other issues too, black people still have the highest mortality rate in the west ask me what is pafukaring them!!! Stress, mental illness, systemic failure. Black women have the highest mortality rate in terms of pregnancy outcome. When “ povid” struck blacks in the west had the highest mortality rate! All I can say is all that glitters is not gold. If you can negotiate a job were you can work seasonally make foreign money then come home do that. I know nurses dat work agency jobs in England, US or Dubai they work 3 months come back and then go back. Poverty in Nigeria hits different o. Poverty in the west hummm dat one get phd in mental torment.

The outcomes of what he's saying is what make people over there JAPA with no meanings and end up in a deep shit.. UK urber is a big man job (20 to 30 grands per annum with pension still) people can afford a mortgage with urber/taxi jobs here etc and moreover you need to live in UK for a period of time to obtain the bloody licence. Our leaders do come over here for their own benefits and they don't give a shit about the citizens, my boss once told me that he doesn't see any tangible reasons for any Nigerian to come over for better life, Nigeria is one of the most richest country in the world, we are blessed. Now Nigerian passport is degrading.. Singaporeans never had Nigerian wealth and this 2 countries were colonised by Britain and Singapore is 3 times better than UK.

​@J R I think you are missing the point. One does not put on one accent 3 days in a week, and another accent the rest of the week. It is an identity. An unnatural accent is inconsistent, can be somewhat high peached and difficult to maintain endlessly in conversations without the natural/original accent coming out every now and then whilst pronouncing words. The japa culture didn't just start yesterday. Africans associate being smart and sofisticated with having a foreign accent. That is why, for example, someone goes to study in Russia for their Master's degree for a year, and return to Nigeria with a British accent. Or study in China and comes back with an Australian + Canadian = American accent etc. Look at the media as another example. Majority of presenters put on accents, as if it is a prerequisite to securing a job. We mock our own indigenous accents as being local. A British man living in Nigeria for 30 years will still sound British, even if he emigrated as a youth or born there. He will associate with his kind to ensure he maintains his roots.
