Ladapo: I am trying to convince a friend who has a well paying job in naija not to relocate as the grass is not always greener on the other side but the guy won't hear any of my reasoning..this guy earns about N 150k per month and just got a student visa to Canada. What would you suggest?

justwise:

I will take the student visa to Canada, part time work will earn him 150k equivalent a month.

africanchilds:
Who will pay his school fees.
I know someone here in the states, though wasn't working in Nigeria, it took him 8 months before he could even get a 7:99$ hour job

ogakpatakpata: @knowitall.............that is the foreign minister of diasporans talking, well said knowitall.

Demaejy:
Ogakpatakpata: na you give ham ooo Foreign minister of diasporans...lol

ogakpatakpata: @Demaejy........what can l say, knowitall deserves it....hahhahahaha

justwise:

This is not about fees, its about whether to leave his job and travel to Canada to study, how will he dream of going to Canada to study if he cant pay his fees? That is pure stupidity

@ knowitall, I don’t mean to be rude but you almost sound desperate in your comments about moving abroad and one can assume that you never lived in a developed country with good economy. I said this because in a developed country even most foreigners that has a well-paid job still don’t think it is easy living abroad especially when you have to consider your race.

juzme: I think moving abroad to study or migration purpose should be based on personal circumstance and ones vision in life.
With information the OP has given I don’t anyone here can advise him. There will be so many ‘if’ . For instance, if he has better chance to progress in his current position, then why risky that to move abroad.
In the other way, if has the capital to support his/herself while studying abroad why not take the chance. Again, If the course or programme he is going to undertake in Canada has a good prospect, it may be good to take the chance as well.

africanchilds:

Though Op didn't state if his friend is able to pay his fee
But we should know that there r other expenses to incur and
what about the follow year.
I wouldn't Judge on my own reasoning.
Even though I was earning above that, I had erased traveling to start afresh
Rather I Picked Migration

justwise:

People who took such massive project without proper planning got themselves to blame. Many Nigerians borrowed money to build their bank account just to get a visa and after the visa is out they return the money and travel with almost nothing....thinking...i will hustle to survive or marry oyibo to get papers. When the reality hits them you hear them saying...nothing dey US or UK, 9ja is better bla bla bla

AjanleKoko: It's kinda sad that we Nigerians only measure life by monetary standards.
We don't live to work, or live for money alone. Even the Good Book says 'man shall not live by bread alone.'.

esere826:

Who lives by bread alone?
None that I have seen
Folks usually eat bread with tea, cofee, eggs, cocoa, butter or beans
or at least water

Ladapo: Thanks for the advice everyone, I asked the question cos I couldn't convince the guy not to leave. I know the grass is not always greener on the other side and maybe " I just dey fear" for my friend ni for the fillowingreasons ;

1. I don't think he will be going to the school cos of funding.
2. Getting a job, accommodation etc. Is not always easy without papers and even PR holders still complain cos u ll find out that some people live better in Nigeria until they land here.

Well, thanks for the advice everyone, I can only pray for my friend....i am not a wicked soul o my dear friend, I just don't like when people go through difficult times.

africanchilds: You have said it.people that haven't being to developed countries would think it's best to come and struggle.
Life style here is on credit, debt that you could be paying till you die.
I have only migrated to the USA for weeks and I can tell you where my heart lies.
I don't work so much in Nigeria but I definitely would be working more hours here to pay Bills
