well with the current situation down here even if na me I fit do like 15years no look even my Passport talkless of to even reach out carry Am. anyway me I de try Raise that 4M see before Jan next year.
[b] NB: i wanted to say this Earlier, We have lotta threads on NL like this But mostly after some time the OP do Abandoned them, hopefully i pray yours won't end up that Way.

Trust me, you gonna need you Naija passport for important verifications in Finland, or maybe, anywhere in the Western World...Could be like getting some online orders verífied from the supermarkets or bank account issues or driving license matters or then Migri or police issues....It is unavoidable. As for abandoning it, I usually attend to this at weekends like this more, compared to any other time cos of my tight schedules...So I will rather do this at my spare time, but the goal is for more Finland based lads to share things with us here, as well as helping others who intend to migrate from Naija

Trust me, try network well with all these so called money bags, them go position you wella...especially if you sabi hack them

You be real hustler bro( minus that bet9ja part, that thing has done more harm than good, but I guess you were lucky) and it paid at the end. Salute! You be Zlatan true true

But bro, what's Finland denial rate like if one is going as a student, I'm asking this cause after spending over a 700k applying to USA as a student, I still got denied. So I also want to be sure if Finland student visa sure if you meet all the requirements or they also deny ppl alot based on hometies even after meeting all their requirements

Bro, technology has taken over 90% of the jobs people used to do. In fact, it has taken all over the world. But I think you can Also go for a second degree, it's very possible

I don't know if age is an option but if you let them know you're going for a second degree. There shouldn't be a problem.

€15,000 shocked . well you can give Germany a shot. Free tuition, all you need to do is get a money for a block account which is €8640. Once you do that, you have a higher chance of getting you visa approved

The denial rate was very low before, but from last year, them start to deny and delay peeps anyhow, but even at that, people still dey get am...But still look at these our neigbhours here like Lithuania, Latvia if you really want enter here somehow, otherwise Germo na still baba las las cos them still dey favour student permits

@ibrahimovic coding is not the issue, but is it possible to get a Job there?
I am a GitHub contributor to Google's opensource project.
So the matter be say hope job go show?
Do they recognize CISSP cert in Finland/ Scandinavia?
I do more of Threat Intelligence(Detection), Reverse Engineering(using C++, C and HLA) and general Security Engineering.


There is no ready made job anywhere in the world bro...You gaz find way to hack the system because across the Scandanavia, language is a crucial factor in netting a decent job, if you escape Finnish language and run to Norway, you gaz learn Norwegian to make headway.. typically we have lots of job portals here, so if you go for an interview(which will be in Finnish), they will set questions for you based on you meeting the requirements, trust me, we have Msc and PhD peeps here all hustling menials, a lot depends bro, luck or God´s grace is one crucial factor too, also are you willing to step down your high horses and take up an Internship place and work your way up? Sum up these points and get the weighted average

There are two ways we immigrants get into the cooperate world here: Either in the hospitality sector or in IT....Others have very good grounded skills like Hot work permits, Heavy duty truck permits, even luxury bus permits and forklift permits....But then it will be wise to be armed with one of these skills while you search for schools here in the Agricultural field

Your skills are top notch, have you considered applying for jobs in IT in UK? Also how is your earning power at the moment? Pls if you are earning well in Naija think twice before you try to run away oh, I know a very close friend here who is regretting his life here because he was working and earning comfortably back home, even had a car wash in Okota, but just wanted to join the bandwagon of diasporans, now he has been doing cleaning job here for 5years, not that the cleaning job wont give you money, but career satisfaction is out of the way....With all these skills you might be depressed if you cannot find your dream job here and then settle for Posti or cleaning job here

Summary is that try to get some skills by the side while you apply for a school within the Agricultural field for your Msc, there are definitely schools for you here...But get some skills too, like Forklift permits, crane driving permits, even luxury bus permits, it will help

Boss, just get all you need ready, use your WAEC result ready, and start all your plans, you can come for bachelors degree in IT or computer related course and possibly you could transfer the credits for most of the courses you have done already.
And I believe all would be set for you.
Cheers mate

Thanks man i really appreciate.

Age isn't a barrier, and you can as well go for a second degree, you should search for more schools with much much lower tuition, schools like Centria UAS, Satakunta and the likes. Nothing is impossible for d determined bro

If you earn 400k and above in naija, I see no reason for you to relocate here, because B4 u can get your dream job (which is quite hard to get mostly) ur language skills has to be top notch and u have got to have a great skill set.

I have met some Nigerians here who have lived here for over 10 years and have not visited home for once, while I have a different view of this, I hardly blame them...The main reasons they escaped Nigeria is still there, these countries are not as rich as Delta State or Bayelsa even, but they put their citizens first, they have very good welfare systems for everyone, that sometimes I wonder how I was created a Nigerian. Elections are coming oh, make una use una mentus oh, if not, na another 4years of penury. I was just driving around and got very angry why Nigeria cannot be the best place on earth with all we have....I swear, the moment Naija has a good leader, more than half of the diasporan community will come back home with their expertise to join forces with a dynamic leader.....

For now, we are watching from the sidelines of a saner clime
