JAPA: If you’re earning a good salary in Nigeria, it’s better to stay than move the U.K for a job you’ll despise — DJ DSF
On a recent episode of Jay On Air Podcast, media personality Ms DSF shed light on the realities of working abroad, cautioning that not all opportunities overseas are as lucrative as they appear.
“People think you’re abroad and you’re making pounds. They could be abroad doing a cleaner job, making however much per hour. You probably have better opportunities here in Nigeria,” she said, stressing that a good salary at home may outweigh taking a job abroad that one dislikes.
Ms DSF highlighted the high cost of living in the UK, noting, “Do you know how much rent is in the UK? Do you know how much public transport is there? Before you even make your salary, let’s say you’re doing cleaner work or driving a taxi.”
Sharing a personal example, she recounted her father’s experience: “When my dad first went, he was a taxi driver. Imagine what he was making while trying to take care of his whole family me, my brother, all my siblings, my mum. He was working 9 to 5, then 5 to 9… taxi driver, security, accountant just to make a little money.”
Ms DSF concluded by acknowledging that earning abroad can be appealing but comes with challenges: “I get it, like if you make it in the UK it’s great because pounds are stronger and it’s nice to make pounds, but it’s not like that you really have to hustle to build your way up.”
