Hi Peace! Your videos are quite explanatory and exciting. I moved to Ireland last year to study, graduated in September but started working in July. Ireland is quite cool and laid back. It's smaller than the UK with smaller communities but the ease of life is quite nice. Irish people are full of life and always ready for a laugh and I am really enjoying my time here. I hope to visit the UK for Christmas and hope to share my experience with you. Take care! Adeyemi

[@akarumeochuko5907]

I have plans to study in Ireland next year. Masters in University of Limerick to be precise. I have seen a few videos online about living and schooling there but I think, if I heard to hear about living in Ireland from another Nigerian sounds great.

[@PeaceItimiofficial]

Aawww. I hope to visit ireland next year. Thanks for sharing

[@eseomasheye394]

I'm a permanent resident of the UK and I think I know a lot about living in the Uk having moved here originally for my masters; yet, I still decide to watch this video because I am generally impressed by you. Keep doing good work. God bless you.

[@PeaceItimiofficial]

Aaawwww! This is very nice of you. Thank you

[@ZED2.0]

I already live here but you mentioned a lot of important things for people that are new. It's very brave of you to move somewhere you have never lived before, very inspiring! Wish you the best!

[@PeaceItimiofficial]

Thank you so much!

[@lamedilotsotlhe5620]

We should all make it a life goal to move to atleast 5 different locations globally and travel Africa as much as we can. I enjoyed the review on the flexibility and convenience of using the APPs on your phone and the culture shock. Thank you for sharing.

[@PeaceItimiofficial]

Thanks a lot and yes to travelling to many places

[@chidinmaafam]

I just moved to London and the cold weather is a shock 🥶. But I’m thriving 😊 London is beautiful

[@PeaceItimiofficial]

I'm glad you are ✨🎉

[@saraswatkin9226]

Be nice to hear how you are " thriving".

[@prinzdan6337]

Nice video...I couldn't get the link for the other video you talked about, where you talked about the different visa types, how to apply and their requirements.

[@AdelekeAugustus]

Everything works outside of Nigeria. Crude awakening! All my friends left already, every single person that I consider “bright” moved. Glad you weren’t overly patriotic.

[@PeaceItimiofficial]

Thank you for watching Augustus 🤗

[@AbdouramanM]

Great video. You took me back through my own challenges when I moved to the UK many many years ago. All the best :)

[@PeaceItimiofficial]

Thank you ✨🎉

[@evebanigo]

Living a new life.....I love the sound of it 🥰

[@busoladavid4709]

I was waiting for you talk about the cold!!!!!!!! As I stepped out of the plane, I also ran back in. It was like I was being put in the freezer, especially coming from a country that's at 36°C. Anyway, it's been great so far. It's like a new life, new opportunity for me. I'm trying out new things and enjoying every day. I came with my partner so I'm not lonely. Lol

[@PeaceItimiofficial]

Awww, I'm glad you're trying to enjoy it 🥰

Greetings to you all nice viewers here. Thank you for the uploading, Content creator. Here to comment and like.

Great video as always. I moved to Dubai in June. Just as you said in the video, everything works. I can check bus time on google maps so I don't need to stand at the bus station for long. There's a train every 5 minutes. Let's not even go into constant electricity and fast Wi-Fi. Despite all this though, it can get very lonely but I'd pick loneliness over the situation of things back home.

[@nosadag3442]

Another great video Peace 👍🏽 Welcome to the UK. Let us know if you need assistance with anything

[@PeaceItimiofficial]

Yaaaas! I'd pick loneliness 20x over NG

[@PeaceItimiofficial]

Also congrat on your move

@@PeaceItimiofficial thank you

Lol @ I pick loneliness....

[@zeea6507]

Great video. You have learnt the system quickly. If you live alone can get 25% council tax discount. When you said NIN was like this is the Nigeria one lol, NI number. The housing the reason why they are so detailed is because when someone does not pay rent, long process to evict. A lady who was international student they asked for guarantor or 6 months rent upfront. Been in employment and reference helps a lot. New subscriber, your contents are quality.

[@The_Dikes]

This is a very balanced video. I particularly like the point you made about renting an apartment as I hadn’t realised how much of an issue this was until my sister moved to the UK to study and struggled to get an apartment with her son, despite being able and willing to pay in advance. This certainly wasn’t the case 15 - 20 years ago but it appears that people need to now be mindful,, if you cannot demonstrate UK income, it is highly likely to be challenge, even if you can afford to pay for it but as you say, putting down a huge initial payment for a few months is one way to get around it.

[@WendyLiving]

A system that just works!! Love it for you!

[@PeaceItimiofficial]

Yes! Thank you!

[@DearFashionCreative]

Its the way i could relate to most of what you shared. You probaly left out the speedwalk/ running in london. i was shook! Guess who now does it. Oh well its been a different expericence for the past 1yr and half. Looking forward to meeting you soon.

[@temitopeolufiranye5470]

Thanks for sharing great content as always.👍 I can relate, apps on my phone are my greatest buddies now. You literally need your phone to move around anywhere. Citymapper especially. And Revolut is super cool as well.

[@Tiwa.a]

Omg! I feel exactly the same way, my phone feels brand new😂 Apple wallet, safari map, weather app are all part of my new life. Don’t get me started on this getting lost issue, I once entered the right bus from a wrong stop and got to an entirely new place, I kept wondering why the stops they were announcing were different from what’s on my map😂😂😂

[@PeaceItimiofficial]

ahahahahahah! This is so relatable. I very more settled now but the first two months was a ride mehn

[@KOREDE66]

Great Video, Peace. I can feel your excitement as you talk about how “things just work” in the UK. I visited Lagos Nigeria for the first time in 2017 and it was a big cultural shock for me. Things just didn’t work as I’ve been used to in the US. Lol… Funny thing is that I got married in London back in 2015 and I had to option to live there. Unlike how you felt, I felt like things were a bit complicated for me. America makes things 2x more simple in my opinion which is why I ended up not moving 😂

[@PeaceItimiofficial]

Oh wow! Thanks for sharing.

I kept getting lost for the first two weeks. I legit would start getting g anxious everytime I had to go out. 😭

[@PeaceItimiofficial]

lmao! I remembered the first time I went out alone (and it was to the post office). I was using Google maps but still got lost. Relocating isn't all fun and games

How is the cost of living ??

[@PeaceItimiofficial]

I'd make a video about that... but there are many places to live in the UK not just London

[@johnnwabuforudemezue1108]

@@PeaceItimiofficial thanks please do, Nigerians need to be educated, one factor that determines how you succeed is 1. Having the right skillset needed for that country 2. Understanding the cost of living. I am saying this so that reduces the level of poverty amongst Africans in the diaspora. It's not only about relocating it's about planning. Thanks. What do you do ??
