Good day good pple of Nairaland.pls don't know if this is the best decision for my career.I am still an undergraduate of one the Nigerian Universities;Thus my uncle informed me recently asking if I can accept to quit my education here in Nigeria and continue it there in Italy,and currently am in 200lvl .But the issue is whether to quit or to continue,but as it stands am biased but my siblings are in support of me to quit for a greener pasture over there,perhaps my parents seems to not support such idea hence asking me to finish up here first.To me my programme is 5yrs(long) duration and this is just an opportunity in disguise.Although i considered mny factors vis-a-vis financial status of the family nd d country as well b4 heeding to such decision. pls Ur candid opinions will be of utmost help to my future. Hoping for the best undisputed suggestions from matured folks.tnx all

What will you be doing in Italy if you eventually get there?School or work? And if work what kind of work can you possibly get with a secondary school result. L?

Also what are the career opportunities like in the country? Does it Favour immigrants?

These questions and more are what you need to get answers to before going?

while waiting for my transcript, I applied for some jobs. I was invited for an interview on Monday the 13th (which I went for), I received a call this afternoon to congratulate me that the interview was successful. The pay is around $15/hr and they pay weekly via direct deposit. so i'll be looking to set up my bank own account pretty soon.

On Monday next week, I'll be going for my drivers' license test. Wish me luck smiley smiley


Congrats bro......

I like it as the ministry is moving....

I'd suggest you don't quit school to go to Italy to "hustle". Just you know there are lots and lots of black people in Italy without jobs. What's hustle? You should ask your uncle what he meant by "hustle" cos that word has numerous meanings. Good luck !

Eating more of fruits after 8pm is also good

I live close to the campus gym which is like few metres away from my residence.
But time no too dey. It is even worse this period wey to stand up for bed go work now
na wahala. I pay 171 dollars per semester for using the facility and I wish I can go there
more frequently.
Well, depending on your genes and eating habits, you can manage weight issues. Avoid eating
dinner after 8pm and eat small meals multiple times a day. Seems you are having fun, please
enjoy the moment. Life is too short. Your thread is very entertaining.

bayocanny:


Who be dis sef. Read the topic of this thread very well, we are not discussing anything about Nigeria on here. Errrm...all what you wrote above is superstory lemme quickly put u in place.

Which effort do u expect me to put into this country(Nigeria)? Since I was born, I never benefited anything from this Nation, I was deprived of good social amenities, no freedom of speech, your voice cannot be heard by your leaders. Yes, I want to leave a luxury life but our leaders doesn't put such in place, look at yankee and other western countries..social amenities boku for ground they enjoy am and they pay back through taxes. Why can't our leaders do such for us then we will reciprocrate. The system go against the common man, its only the political class and the upper class benefited from it. So what effort are u talking about or you want me to be sowing where I won't reap abi. probably u are thinking of me joining LAWMA or KAI dey help dem pack refuse abi, u no serious.

Hmm...u talk about yankee been overcrowded. I swear, to slap u just dey hungry me, yankee can accomodate the entire Nigerian Citizens without complaining. Dem get land, opportunity plenty, go to oklahoma, Maine, montana and iowa plenty houses full der wey no see persin we go pack in. So what are u talking about. Be warned!!! Don't say what u don't know.

You talk of pontentials and natural resources, which natural resources are u talking about? Oil?
Yeye dey smell for your body, resources wey be say those politicians don shared within themselves. Do you know that oil doesn't have value any longer unlike before. If Nigeria truly have natural resources, why are u buying a litre of PMS at 150? I went to the gas to refill my gas last week I was told 1KG is now 800 yet we suppling ghana abundant of gas every now and then. So tell me, what's the essence of resources that we have and we can't derive enjoyment from it. Look at egypt, saudi, venezuela, russia and other oil producing nations, google the amount of money they buy a litre of petrol and compare it to that of Naija. Ogbeni, am tired am going to class, no come here to start speaking ill of my western countries o or else u dey look for trouble. Maybe u have smalll change for ya acct na hin dey make u dey do yanga shey naija don beta, smsh...yeye dey worry you.



Oh, you said naija is a frontier abeg wich frontier u dey talk of? Dis guy sef, I for yab u but for posterity sake I will let it slide.....sha don't come on this thread again

Lol. Guy, you need to update your city map and store it offline on your phone. One sure thing is that you will always be rerouted if you missed your way. If you are on the highway and missed an exit just jejely maintain your lane and take next exit cheesy

Apparently, due to the limit on naira credit and debit cards, individuals are finding it hard to pay for some items. I've been doing a lot of thinking and this is actually a good business opportunity.


I spoke to some of my uncles about this, and they're willing to help out. I could help you pay for items (school fees, shopping etc) while you pay the equivalent into a nigerian bank account. Hit me up if you're interested. Serious persons only. Small transactions first.
