I spoke to a friend who arrived UK ๐ฌ๐ง in 2021 with his family last week.
They bought their first house in the UK ๐ฌ๐ง in 2023.
Bought the second house in the UK ๐ฌ๐ง in 2025.
In the UK ๐ฌ๐ง, let no one deceive you; buying house for Mortgage is an asset.
To buy a second house, you need 25% of the property being paid.
Both husband and wife are both working in a highly paid job and even still have a business in Nigeria for them bringing money.
They could not achieve this without the wife helping the husband. They both contribute 100/100 and both own the houses. I donโt even support 50/50, my own is 100/100.
One of the things I think helped them was that they were rich before coming to UK ๐ฌ๐ง as theyโve paid all tuition fees and even 12 months rent before coming in 2021.
If you Japa and be doing Odogwu alone as man. Youโll not achieve anything abroad.
@Heyyo_leo@Momooinreallife degenerate sperm, Fools beget Fools like you... You made a lazy generalisation without evidence, a coward seeing other peopleโs achievements and feeling like a personal attack, na access to wifi i blame.

Went on dates with guys who made >$700k and had wiki pages and the first thing they would complain about when they got comfortable on the date was that they didnโt like โdumbโ girls they couldnโt talk to.
I found it strange that this man prioritized the ability to converse more than I thought because when weโd walk around in public, people would recognize him. It wasnโt just about looks.
I had one guy friend that would go on to make >$200k right out of college. And even when we were poor college kids, mid way thru a date with a cute girl, he made up an excuse that he had a work emergency come up at his part time job, paid the bill, and left.
He told me it was actually because he got super bored.
Had another man worth >$1M, self made, by his early 30s. He kept complimenting me on my side hustles and career. Said I understood because we were in the same fields.
There is a certain type of man that does care about looks but equally cares about the ability to converse if not more.
Idea protection is becoming a bigger deal in tech. Many stealth founders share less because AI has made copying easier. But ideas were never the edge; execution is still the hard part, and it isnโt something you can simply copy.
1 year into Uni in the UK, I withdrew & told my school to cancel my student visa, went back to Lagos for 3 months & came back on a skilled worker visa that counts towards ILR, my family thought I was crazy. But I had negotiated a ยฃ6 figure salary job with COS + ยฃ20k signing bonus
This indie dev spent 1,400+ days building his game, Tangy TD, completely from scratch in C++.
Seeing him and his wife react after the game earned $250,000 in its first week after launch is honestly beautiful.
