DON'T BE DECEIVED! 😩HARSH REALITIES OF LIVING IN THE U.K | RELOCATING TO THE U.K FROM NIGERIA | 

Thanks for the advice Mr Akani, I’m glad you’re getting more comfortable expressing yourself and we are here for it all.

Life in the UK is easy! You need to understand how the system work and focus on your goals. I moved to the UK 2005 as a poor student, struggled as a student but soon as my university degree was completed, everything changed. Start small, rent a room not an apartment…try and save as much as possible. Make use of ISAs, it’s an incredible weapon to turn your life around permanently (passive income is powerful yet so easy). To cut the long story short - after 15 years in the UK, I joined the millionaire club and I now work for myself doing exactly what I want. I’m very proud of what I’ve achieved, not bad from an ordinary Enugu boy with so much ambition and a thirst for knowledge. If I can make, anyone can make it in the UK!

As someone who transits the UK/NGA regularly..I can say the advice this guy is giving is golden..and will only become more important as energy costs in the UK pushes the cost of living even higher in the UK this winter..

New subscriber here. I really love Akanni's vibe. The way he doesn't sugarcoat things and checks with April that "is the English correct."

HI April & Akanni New subscriber, This is great advice for our newbies, many youth are getting themselves into troubles thinking they know it all. As someone who is a citizen and has lived here for 40yrs. Kudos to you guys

Awesome stuff! Love at first soundbyte. Drawing designer logos for your bro hahaha darned hilarious . Awesome life lessons, great delivery. You guys are prime viewing material. I see you guys growing into a household brand 💪🏿

You two couldn’t be more genuinely authentic & real than this cogent and compelling points you’ve raised 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽!

Thank you so much. Am so blessed by your advice. Thank you again..

Fantastic advice for new comers to the UK, well done and keep the good work up

Love, love, love you guys. Very practical and honest advice. Please listen to this couple. If you do what they are saying, you will make it in UK and save. Wish I could hug you both. ❤❤❤.

New sub, this advice is more than gold. Not just for those in the UK but everywhere. One needs to be self disciplined and focused. Don't do things because others are doing.

Akani, I really gbadu you. You are such a unique man. You worth your salt. You are just natural and real without any element of "forming" or pretence. I couldn't help subscribing

This is brilliant! We need more honesty from our community like this 🙏🏾 God bless you both.

This is so needed. A lot people have been ostracized by family at home because they think you are living in luxury in the UK and dont want to help. Life in UK is tough.

Nice to come accross your channel. Thanks for the honesty and transparency

Thanks a lot guys. I think the key lesson here is patience, focus and priority. We just moved here and all I can say is there're a lot of things to do but priority and balance is the key to live anywhere.

Thanks April & A. This is good advise. I learnt a lot from the video. I really got the main points

Amazing advice... You guys are so real.. More Blessings..

Very well said! I encourage those in Naija to come too o! They mostly believe people in UK do not want to help or are just being stingy. So I encourage them and do wat I can to get them over. One did and ran back, unable to survive. At least he won't be disturbing anyone here now 😂🤣

Akanni is the real OG. God bless you for sharing this bro.

Great ideas, very on point and you both personalities are real valued and appreciated. Thank you!

Egbon Akanni is always keeping it real.. thanks for the wisdom nuggets!!

I love the way you put it straight. Wisdom is profitable to direct. Thank you my people.

Mr Akanni, thanks for the advice. it was really educative and exciting at the same time. God bless you. Seeing your post for the first time and I just subscribe because you say things the way they are. thank you.

Lol he is funny lol shey oyinbo yen correct. I recently moved to Canada too. I confirmed this! Settling is a big deal. Even trying to get an apartment is stressful! I was a bit frustrated a week after I got here. I even forgot to take pictures. Thank God today is better than yesterday

Straight Facts!!!The Video is highly Informative,Impactful&Detailed!Igi Ewedu oni wo pawa ooo!Keep Soaring like An Eagle Guys.

WA o this is reality and really applaud both of you understanding each other

Raw truth....enitobaleti kogbo.......thanks guys for being so real and factual. We apparently think the same way. This is how I advice my siblings that are intending to come in.....harsh realities though ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wow, u guys earned a subscriber today, simple and straight forward messages, no sugarcoating. Thanks Sis n Bro, e gbayi 👏🏾

Nice one guys....Great words of wisdom!

Thank you A & A for keeping it 100. There’s so much sincerity riddled over this video and I do appreciate you guys. Cheers

This is so real! I laughed so hard here. From Nigeria to the UK! I love that closing punchline!

God bless you with this lovely advice. God bless you guys.

I always say-travelling is an itch-by all means scratch it. But buyer beware! Thank you for the splash of reality for those with wisdom to listen and be guided. My experience is from the North American side of things US/Canada but what your are saying are facts that are underplayed until it hits you like a freight train.

Great content 😊from this duo, very real, tell them if they will hear, wish you guys all the best, new fan

I am Indigenous to the British isles. I moved to Australia 20 years ago, the standard of living is way better here than in the UK. Living in the UK is a tough lifestyle, I am native to Scotland and even when we migrated to Australia we admitted how harsh the life is in the UK. The thing that shocked me when I went back was how miserable and depressed everyone was about life, I find Australians more positive and in turn I have become more positive. Also, how run down and dirty everything was around me, Australia always looks so clean.

Well Said!!!! God bless you for this video. Nice one

Felt reluctant to click on the video but it has been really helpful Thanks guys❤️

Nigerian living in Germany, this the realest abroad story i have heard on youtube. No over reacting, no sugar coating.

Thank you for this. Recently moved to the UK. Needed this!

thanks for being real. omo Nigeria rere! I am enlighten, this is my first time here

I love your sincerity. This is my first time of seeing this video and I already love you guys

Just came accross your channel. Great topic and discussion. Preeeach!

Very beautiful and smart people talking Wisdom, life is in stages, now the next stage is to go back and give back to the motherland. You have all the right reasons to do so....but on a serious note...you guys are fine people sha

You just got a subscriber cos I like the fact that Akanni is so blunt,like no filter

Thanks ✌️. Nice advice

Well detailed explanation of the harsh realities of living in U.K.. Kudos to you for this amazing work 👏🏾

I rarely comment on these forums but Akanni and April are the best. Well done. I wanted to say this to encourage us all. I came to the UK over 20 years ago and with the blessings of God, hard work tenacity, the right people surrounding me I now earn about £260k per annum, take home £15k per month as Director of Law/General Counsel for a company. I say this humbly but I wanted to share my experience so people can see that it's possible. When I arrived over 22 years ago my husband refused for me to do any job that was unprofessional. He would say don't do jobs that lead to a dead end, be patient. He was giving me £25 a week allowance then,lol! I went back to school qualified as a lawyer and started from the bottom. The problem we have as Nigerians is we don't work together. The Indians help each other a lot. I refused to change my career even when friends we studied law together went into I.T because it was paying more tham my roles then. hubby and I also invested in property etc. Do you know you can earn 10% interest on some fixed deposit in the UK? But there is a minimum amount, research all these things. There are genuine property companies and hotels that you can invest in. Invest in gold. Hubby encouraged me all the way and we are surrounded by Nigerians of the same mindset, believe me there are lots of Nigerians I know earning over £250k even up to £1m. Banks, oil companies in the UK, car companies, even Tescos and co pay their directors well. My husband became a VP in an American bank before he left to another organisation. It is very possible. There are several free It training that you can research, Jesus House church runs fee IT training, make inquiries. I also know some people that work remotely for US companies. Please open your eyes to opportunities.God will bless us all.

I am glad to be listening to this,I think people should hear this even before they decide to sell everything they have to come the UK.By the Grace of God We’ve been here for years and settled (lol)I am embarrassed by the lack of knowledge of many people who are coming here lately.They are putting themselves in awkward conditions,developing a lot of stress related conditions. The couple are telling the truth.Do your homework,most of the Naira will not go a long way here.Always have someone who can truly guide you. Thanks

Hi both, just came across this channel and wanted to hear you both out. Absolute foundation, even for me who has lived here for a while, life can throw anything to you. Discipline is everything in the UK. YOU PAY FOR EVERYTHING YOUBUSE INN THE UK-PERIOD

This video is an eye opener..I just love this couple

lovely couple! i feel you guys! truth

My first time commenting on RU-vid!!! Trust me Akoni u r REAL!!!!!!!!!!! We shld link up i love u guys…i will surely subscribe now!!! Keep winning guys

I love you both. Let the truth be told.

My brother you have said it all, those who have ears let them. Again thanks for being honest on your platform, because must Nigeria platform don't tell their viewers the whole truth just because they want more viewers or subscribers regarding relocating to the UK or any other country.

I love this honesty. You just gained a new subscriber.

Waoh! Common sense o common at all... you guys said it all, nice and explicit. Its not only applicable to U.K, its a live experience. Thanks guys... Thumbs up!

Thanks for sharing... Enjoyed watching your video

Many thanks. Please do a video on moving to the UK with family

This is superb awesome, I believe in hard work yet there must be a priority and plans to make with sense

You are so inspirational guys because you tell it as it is. I wish so many people from back home can see this. You have to change your mind completely when you come to live in the UK. I remember when I first arrived at age 18 and I made a few long distance phone calls back to my country Swaziland. When the bill came I was asked if I had made those calls and I lied and denied it. Then I was told that if you are going to live with us it's not going to work if you tell us lies and we tell you lies. It had never occurred to me that the phone company logs all calls. From that day I wised up. I also wish that people could take some time to fully understand how the law works here because if you get on the wrong side of it it will be on your record for ever. Back in Africa people will sometimes lash out and hit people who are being a nuisance but if you ever hit anybody here you will find yourself in front of a judge with a GBH case hanging over your head. So just don't hit anybody and walk away from bad situations. And lastly, please don't fight random strangers on the streets. There are lots of dangerous people out there who will take your life without a second thought. There was a very sad case recently where a Deliveroo guy was killed on the streets because he got involved in a road rage with a car. Had he walked away his family would still be enjoying his company. So walk away please no matter how angry you are!!

Thank you for sharing! Very informative

This will be helpful….. Thank you 🙏

Mr Akanni is so real and I understand where he's coming from. I've learnt alot especially from you two. Thanks a lot

Wow...this was really insightful and interesting.

Omo! I love the reality of the video...

I just subscribed and I'm already loving your video.. I have learned much from this video. Thanks for sharing.

Akanni is hilarious yet everything he said makes sense

Really insightful video... Akanni has such a great sense of humor 😄😄

Very helpful video. Thank you

You're a beautiful couple. I listened up your video. I enjoyed every bit of it. Good luck and remain blessed.

In the UK you are on your own from day one.

Hi April & Akanni, I am a Yoruba guy living in Switzerland. This is your first video I watched and my first youtube comment. This is the most reality video mehn. @Akanni actually feel like you my twin brother living in UK. Your blend of English,Yoruba & Pidgin for me is Sweet. Let me know when you visit Switzerland 🇨🇭. Ciao

Beautiful couple,thanks for the advice.

Great advice!

I can relate to your yoruba very deeply. Thanks for keeping things real. I really appreciate.

You know what I LOVE YOU GUYS. Thank You

Well done guys,the most authentic video so far....I'm UK based, been here since the 90's raised a family with two graduate daughters....all the best as you find your way around

Thanks for your sincerity

Thanks for keeping it real.

I have to give it up to you brother you're a human being thank you

Wow! I can literally call you my Uncle. E se egbon. Thanks Sir

Love the originality of your channel.

I am a new subscriber, who just moved to the UK for study and i must say i learnt one or two from your video

Straight talk! 👍👍👍

I’m a new subscriber from Aprils Instagram and I’m glad I’ve sub.. love what I’m hearing so far! Keep it up ❤️

APRIL, your husband is so so funny. Kudos to both of you! Well said! Keep up the good work

Brilliant video. I explain this to people and they feel resentful that you are speaking the truth. To accumulate money and save in the uk is tough going! If you can try and invest back home, but don’t rely on people to be honest oooooooo. If you can travel back and forth go do your own investment.

My best video so far.. you just gained a follower 🥰🥰

I can relate egbon honestly best advise ever

Following you guys right away

I’m so happy to come across this channel. I laughed to the realities

The car part, please be careful with those £700 car, you could spend a whole lot working on the car and it would have been better if you did pay a higher amount for a car. Consider insurance, road tax. Save, it is good but for somethings, spend so you won’t spend more in the name of saving

God bless you guys for this video

Very nice video. U both speak the truth. Don't play God and live a simple honest life. Nice couple. Heavens blessings.

Thanks for sharing very useful information from your new subscriber, your husband can talk very useful information 👍👍👍👍

I really appreciate your advice both of you. Thanks For your openness. I am living since 1992 almost 33 years in Germany. I'm a Yoruba woman by tribes Recently a cousin got in contact with me by looking for me. Everything he's telling me looks perfectly with him Because he is also living in UK. What makes me curious about him is from all what he's saying about his house in Nigeria And I'm happy for him if everything is true. Only he makes me feel as if I didn't do enough in which I don't think so about myself and my life. I was married here long time living separate from my ex husband he's German and he's the one brought me from Nigeria to Germany. On getting here we got married and was bless with a daughter who's now 29 years old and a grandson 5. Many thing happens but I thank God for at least I have my peace of mind. My daughter here is doing very well and hada great job. Also my daughter in Nigeria and my two grandson of which I left before I came to Germany. I have done many things for my people home from sending money to bringing a lot of goods. Buying used cars for selling in Nigeria. My family mess everything After realising that there's sometimes no matter how you do you can never satisfy them. I am looking forward to focus on my life and just need my peace so i can manage my remaining time by focusing on what's really crucial to me for the remaining time. You people just make me feel good with this topic Thank you very much🙏✌❤

Thanks so much big brother

I just got stocked in this video, I bumped into. I love this reality, thanks for this info

This is so true nobody to help Thank goodness I had a lot of savings before I came
