Mcslize:I only gave rough estimates. That amount is usually the maximum in most cases |

TheManOfTheYear:can u kindly state the companies around Lagos, thanks |
Re: From The Streets Of Warri To Finland: My Story by Mcslize: 10:16am On Nov 10, 2017 |
TheManOfTheYear: That's too high. Hope you ain't thinking it's naira you just estimated. Even a company manager in US won't make 31k dollars a month even if he works $150 per hour. Mind you they ain't working the whole 24 hours per day. It's mostly 8 hours per day. And 40 hours per week. That amount you quoted should be per anum not per month. I stand to be corrected. But someone else can confirm this. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Yeah. There was probably a mistake. $15/hour is roughly $2400 per month, or about $30k per year. Mcslize: |

You can’t get rich in Scandinavia no doubt due to social democracy, social welfare contributions from high taxation on your wages, but what makes Scandinavia a place to be is the quality free education and student loans/grants that would give you a balanced ground work to develop products and solutions to meet human needs, which can make you rich when you service clients around the world. For now the biggest careers are Game developers, AI and software engineers, Robotic engineers and finally content creators. That’s why Scandinavia has more rich people per capita compared to the USA. Some of the chips on your smart phones, washing machines, war ships and fighter jets etc are designed by engineers here but assembled in China, as a matter of fact the next designated hub or clients/market are Dubai, UAE and Saudi Arabia for obvious reason “OIL”. Truck would only put food on your table and that industry is saturated. 4 Likes |

aydi: I work as a design engineer electrical sensors and I’m satisfied with my chosen field of study (Masters in elect eng) Note we had compulsory software courses in this program. I have friends who are software developers and have moved to Dubai for big projects. So you can’t go wrong with any of the programs I’ve listed. It’s very easy to find a 14yr old programmer here and kids building robots because the wages for low skilled jobs are very high in Scandinavia, hence they are been replaced by technology. |

olaboy1: Thanks for your response The fact is that the Nigerian system cannot accomodate all its youth;Graduates and Non graduates skilled and unskilled Hence the need for migration. In which sector are there the most opportunities for immigrants in scandinavian countries. |
Re: From The Streets Of Warri To Finland: My Story by olaboy1: 5:55pm On Nov 12, 2017 |
aydi: The construction and health sectors seem to require more workforce from what I’ve seen. Almost every year all the roads in my local community are refurbished, and there are massive road/tunnel projects all over Scandinavia. So I believe Nursing and all construction related education would create more competitive opportunities for immigrants in Scandinavia. 1 Like |

olaboy1:I am glad u mentioned how their laws are able to regulate their actions. Even God himself is a law giver and his creations operates on physical laws no wonder we have order many of which man has been able to invent things. It is these laws that makes Scandinavian countries the best part of the world to live. Look at traffic laws for example, I was amazed to see the style of driving here which from d laws if an accident occurs u dont need to be a witness to know who is at fault. Like d left hand rule at roundabouts, d right hand rule when not at round abouts, strict observance of pedestrian crossings which if u ever try that in Nigeria I swear u wud be knocked down. Regardless of whatever u say, laws are needed for any progressive societies. Without laws and strict enforcement of it, then u ve d chaotic situations as u ve in Nigeria. Science have revealed fundamental laws in nature as created by God. So seriously speaking I dont know what u aim at driving at. Cant u see d benefit of d laws as u referred to an employer never taking advantage of his workers but in Nigeria, even govt breaks the laws by owing its workers, the reward of d Nigeria workers are in heaven not on earth. I ve worked here and once I work even 15minutes extra I get paid for it but people in lawless Nigeria iwed months of salaries and when they retire owed pension. U re entitled to your opinion but regsrdless of whatever u say be truthful to yourself and with yourself, life in the Scandinavian part of the world is 1 milllion times better than what is obtainable in Nigeria. As Pidgin2 who claims to ve travelled out, I guess it was Somalia or Djibouti she went to. 2 Likes |

Guys by this FIFTH APPLICATION, my lean savings had depleted, I had just around N700K as account balance to submit this time While the application was still processing, my girl announced to me that she’ll come to Naija for our wedding and this time, we have to go to Sweden together, now this girl is very beautiful and me self come dey fear, she had a stubborn ex, but guys I don stamp authority for the girl full life I really loved her for one quality: with any rejection, she will double her shock absorber and in fact, console me serially! Fast forward months later, the visa application I lodged came out with this reason for refusal: “Insufficient account balance”...I nor bother near the embassy again, as my girl came for our wedding this time, I took her to the embassy again and this time, I forced my way in with her, we explained our predicament to them, and she told them that we were getting married at the registry at Ikoyi, that if they refused any further application, she would commit suicide na we dey power all these talk normally... I exhausted my savings on the wedding and vice versa and went to apply for a spouse resident permit....I was then informed that decision on that can come out in one year Interview day, I rushed one black bullet because to me, na do or die this time! This was how this interview went.... street,una dey here so? |
