Nigerian man shares his downsides after relocating
@TimeyinI stated that he had a stable career in Lagos but had to take up manual labour jobs to survive when he arrived in the United Kingdom.
According to him, when he was in Nigeria, he was a stockbroker and an investor analyst.
He wrote on X:
"Before leaving Nigeria 🇳🇬, I was a Stockbroker and Investment Analyst at a top firm in Lagos.
When I got to the UK 🇬🇧, I started with Amazon warehouse (Picking &Packing), Aldi (Freezer), HCA (Florence), MHCA roles before eventually transitioning into BA.
One of the biggest downsides of Japa nobody likes to talk about is starting from ground zero again.
Japa will humble your CV first before it bless you."
