I already gotten a stress free job as a
Mechanical Engineer in a Pharmaceutical
and Beverages company here in Nigeria

#70000 only. I am thinking of relocating
to South Africa for greener pasture and to
start another life over there. please what
advise can you give me with my plans
cos I have already gotten more than the money required to traveled to South
Africa? Please don't pass insult just give a
brotherly advice and facts to know
before i move on as I am ready to take
heed. thanks.

Thanks so much for your candid advise, I am much aware of everthing concerning south africa ups and down, I just want to know if my reasoning of leaving this job for a better life over there is worthwhile.

thanks friend for your time to comment, but you have not give to me on point what I am interested in.

A brother advice.
You are in Nigeria with stable work and house, which can be better in months.
Does anyone in south Africa promise you work and housing for months for free.
You would not be able to stand fit in south Africa until at least after six months to years, pending when work permit is issued to you.
Can you withstand no love and loneliness outside what you presently enjoy in Nigeria.
What's your final aim in traveling to south Africa, cos apparently you won't be getting a migrant visa.

My brotherly advice, if it's to start afresh, please do not leave what you have seeking for what you might not have.except someone out there is really ready to harbour you through hard time even if it's for a year.

The honest truth, getting work without paper is same as being imprisoned.

Thanks bro, you have seen my heart already, I got a blood brother in South Africa whose profession is an accountant and he already accepted to accomodate me pending the time i wil get my wrk permit and other important documents needed to start work. My fear only is that, leaving the job at hand presently to be doing unprofessional jobs all in the name of money, does it worth it?
