I don't need benefits I can work, Nigeria?? Interesting, I am from South Africa and it's falling to pieces
So, were do you live? Have you been to the UK before?
I moved here 22 years ago and I love it here. Of course, I am not a Muslims, but I know of many Muslims who feel very comfortable and integrated in this country ( - which of course isn't what everybody wants).
It might also depend a bit on where you move to. Some areas have a high Muslim representation, and Muslims may feel more integrated there.
Job prospects aren't brilliant at the moment and unemployment is quite high.
What is it you do for a living?
Peace glo
Here I stand.
I can do no other.
May God help me.
Amen.

Where are you from originally? I am from South Africa, the Kingdom of the Zulu. Nope, never been to Uk, have family there, they were here a few months ago, the said the same thing about the job place, no work so......
I am a bookkeeper, currently doing a degree in Accounting.
I'm from Germany originally.
We have a couple of people from South Africa working in our team - one is our secretary, the other our clinical psychologist. But I think both have lived in the UK for a little while.
The UK doesn't have much industries anymore, but services such as bookkeeping and accounting should do reasonably well. Perhaps you could register with an agency or something to get more information?
Don't come right now though - it's the middle of winter here!!

Hmmm, interesting, I won't exactly be on the next boat, my mum isn't all that excited about the beeeg move, and I still have to figure out if I want to complete my degree first and then come or go while I am still studying.
The cold doesn't scare me, but the loooong summer fasts certainly does.
Im aware of not gaining citzenship in Saudi - this does not bother me at all.
I dream of being able to be in the beloved city of the Prophet (sallalahu alaihi wasalam), read salaah in His blessed masjid, make umrah as often as possible - I cant think of anything better.
Citzenship is only related to this world.
It does not matter very much, when the aakhirah which our eternal home is the goal.
This life is just a bridge to get there.....
I havent considered Malaysia.
Tbh, Im not as mobile as yourself, without a mahram.
So, Im likely stuck with Zuma and his crew for some time....:/

Yeah, me too, Verulam, Tongaat boy. I think you should go back to Durbs, Jozi e-tolls gonna be a killer.
I understand that, it's just that they can kick you out anytime they want no matter how long you may be living there which is not fun. You could be like really settled and then bam, out you go.
Some of my family have been to Malaysia and say it's really nice, you should consider it, once you find a mahram.
Seems I'm gonna be stuck too, time to zulu dance......:enough!:
