My guy, you've said it all.

I was once in OPs shoes. I quickly dived abroad, only to get there found out that, it's not as green as people paint it o! I ran back but it was too late to go back to the job because I resigned before leaving. However, God was merciful and helped me to get another govt placement (without pushing any buttons). It's not been easy though but better than nothing. Lesson learned: sometimes, you dont value what you have until you lose it.

My advise: Op, you can travel out but don't resign your job! Take a study leave. In this way, you have a plan B: should you finish your schooling and oyibo man begins to play you the racist card.

What racist card?

First, I don't mean to discourage you but the thing about Canada is that their residency is easy to obtain but job prospects in the long run are quite very slim. The Canadian economy isn't as buoyant as that of the US.

Second, I must be honest with you you have a solid source of income going on for you and I would not recommend that you abandon your system all in the name of going abroad. There is a category of people I would recommend going abroad and those to not go abroad. Those who are very hard working but yet don't have anything to show for it in Nigeria and who also don't have any hopes of enjoying a middle-class lifestyle in Nigeria despite their efforts and toils, I recommend yes, go abroad if you can. Life abroad rewards hard working people with a middle-class lifestyle - a car, house, secure job, security, best of amenities etc. (all these are not free, you pay for them), however, for those who are entrepreneurial or have solid systems in place already going for them in Nigeria, it would be folly to pack up your systems all in the name of going abroad, because for every immigrant life abroad starts from scratch and you need about 3 to 5 years to catch up with others (financially, residency wise, educationally, credit wise etc.). For some people it may even take as long as 10 years, depending on how focused/determined you are. Whereas with the same 5 to 10 years ahead invested in Nigeria from where you currently are, you could expand your pharmaceutical business as you intend into a multi-million naira venture or expand through the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, you can always visit Canada, the US etc and stay as long as you want and enjoy the best of both worlds. At that point 5 to 10 years you'd be better off than your counterparts abroad in terms of how much income you get to keep in your pocket (less taxation in Nigeria). In case you don't know, taxes abroad are quite high and the federal government keeps a substantial amount of your earnings. For example, you earn the same amount as your friend abroad but you keep way more than they get to keep due to difference in taxation. My recommendation? You are doing very good already in Nigeria to fold up all in the name of going abroad only to start life all over and spend the next 3 to 5 or 10 years starting all over. Keep investing and expanding financially from where you stand right now and visit Canada/US/UK as many times as you want.

In the end, the decision is yours to make.

Best advice!

You decided to come to this forum to show despite the fact that you know what to do.why cant you just keep ur head in this time people more qualified than you are jobles while some are under employed.I will advice you to quit the job for Canada but never come here for advice on the consequences of your decision.

Oga well don sir

I would have said I'm very dissappointed in you, If I know you well enough!

My brother, you don't have to gamble with your future, and that of the future of your unborn kids, I'd advise you to step out of this country ASAP! You need to forget about that crap of "who will fix the country if we all get out"

Yes, you are paid 500k monthly, but NOTHING assures you of that job. Yes, folks will say invest in business here in Nigeria, and I dare you to try it and see what the current state of this entity, NIGERIA will turn it into.

My humble advice to you...

All the best!

Thanks..... I have already taken my decision....

Hi nairalanders please I am currently about taking a decision regarding my future. I am a 26 years old single guy. I currently work in a company where I earn between 400-500k monthly( salary, allowance and personal hustling)... Now the issue is that I am contemplating on travelling to Canada to study pharmacy with the intention of staying there permanently after school or do a professional MBA here in Nigeria with the aim of growing through the ranks in the pharmaceutical industry. Please I need your contributions...

NB; cost of obtaining a pharmacy degree in Canada is about 10M...Should I invest the money in a business?

If you really want to optimise your trip to Canada, go for a Master's.

You are allowed to stay for 3 years after the Masters and work.

Why start all over again with a degree? Makes no sense at all.

Your 500k a month job too is fair. I don't see Buhari being re-elected so I predict a massive pick up in the economy from 2019 upwards.

In about 5 years, you could be commanding a salary of 1m or more a month which isn't bad

Anyway, wish you the best

Do you still share this same idealogy in 2022...

Have you heard of Nexford university?
It is an American University that offers 100% online degrees, notably MBA and BBA.
Tuition payment is monthly and enrolment starts at the beginning of every month.

A little birdie just whispered to me. Let me explain before telling you the secret. For Nigerians, FX payments can be really frustrating but Nexford always has a way of making life easy.

Many learners have been paying their tuition fees through Sterling Bank at a rate of 480 Naira to a Dollar. Right now, that is Gold.

Now, let's get back to what the little birdie said. If you enroll this December, you get to continue paying with 480 Naira as the exchange rate. Starting January 2023, this rate will be updated to 620 Naira to a dollar. Enroll now and save 30%.

Procrastination is the thief of time. Click the link below and fill out the form to get the course brochure, then proceed to your application. All can be done from the comfort of your smartphone.

Head on to Telegram and search "Nexford University Students (Blog)". Here, you can ask questions and get updates on the latest.
