As someone who’s been in UK for about 3yrs, these are my reality check (most base on personal experience).
My top 15.
1. You cannot survive abroad if you’re lazy, especially if you’re alone.
2. If you don’t keep to time, you’re going to have problems, 1min late can cost you a lot.
3. You might actually stop praying for some worldly luxury if you live abroad, because they’re not so hard to get. I’m talking about owing cars and the likes.
4. Every successful people I’ve seen in UK (men and women) are people in happy marriage.
5. If you cannot ask for help, you’re likely going to suffer.
6. It’s easier to secure work that doesn’t care about academic certificates than the ones that cares about academic certificates.
7. You are better abroad as a married person than being single.
8. You will meet celebrities in random places and no one really cares about them. I think the only celebrities people really give so much relevance to in the UK are active footballers.
9. Your colleague at work are not your friends.
10. Oyinbo laughing at you is not genuine, do not mistake their shining of teeth for likeness.
11. If you meet Oyinbo girl that you desire sexual or romantic relationship with, ask for their ID, everyone in UK have at least one ID that shows their age, do not believe whatever she calls her age for you (especially if you meet them in night club or any social gathering that is open to everyone).
12. Nobody is too busy abroad not to talk to people back in home country, except they’re in prison.
13. If your naija girlfriend japa before you and there is no plan for you to go and join her soon, she’s likely going to break up with you sooner.
14. There is a community in London, that is you take pictures there and post, you can tell anyone who doesn’t know you personally that you’re in Lagos and they’ll believe you, because almost everything you’ll see in Lagos is there.
15. If you’re a professional(doctor, nurse, engineer and the likes) japa, you’ll make money abroad.

I have experienced life in the UK both as a single person and now as someone who is married, and I can confidently say that living here as a married person comes with significant advantages.
Here are some benefits 👇🏾
Companionship
Building a Family
Better Financial Stability
Personal and Collective Growth
Stronger Support System
Lastly, it feels great to do life with someone who shares your values and interests. I highly recommend marriage, especially if you’re planning to stay in the UK long term.

The UK economy was not designed for one person to figure it out alone. Rent/mortgage, bills, council tax… everything assumes there are two of you. Finding a committed, sensible partner who understands money isn’t just romantic. In this country, it’s genuinely strategic. Single people, please choose wisely! This is not an advice, it’s a warning.
