Naija Diaries: 5 Things You Are Not Told Before You Enter The UK

London is a beautiful multicultural city. You can go to London and feel at home. If its Ugwu leaves you are looking for, you will find it. Abuja yam for pounding, they sell it. Even fresh live snails, ah, no biggie.

I can also guarantee you that if you do decide to travel to the UK, you will find your fellow brothers and sisters. No matter how rare your tribe is, they are there. When you get there, they will tell you the story of how your forefathers shipped themselves there thousands of years ago. I believe every community in the WORLD is represented in the United Kingdom and you will find your feet and adjust into the system eventually. For the UK, it just goes to show how diverse they are yet they still find ways to keep their own culture alive. It is also a tremendous feat for Great Britain as it shows they have a system set in place that can accommodate all walks of life.  The people are welcoming and friendly and although far from home, you still feel right at home. Home is what you make of it at the end of the day.

Have you ever wondered why, when people move to the UK, they never return to their home country? And if they do, it is only for a visit? Why? They not only integrate themselves into the system but they actually really like living there. Some things there are just less cumbersome. Parents might relocate because their healthcare and education system is not only one of the best in the world but it is also free. That's so crucial to a developing society. No matter what, London will always be my home, but just for laughs, here are my

Top 5 Things You Are Not Told Before You Enter The UK.

1. It is cold, wet and dull for 9-10 months out of the year.

2. The streets are not lined with gold, but rather pidgeon and dog poop.

3. Its not that easy to find a top paying job when you get there. Don't be fooled.

4. The bills you will pay! It will come out from both nose and nyash.

5. There are other beautiful cities in the UK, not just London. Please stop infiltrating Peckham etc in London. Move to other cities. Wales if you have to.
