Penguin2:I’m in Waterloo, Ontario. The immigrants population here is astonishing. Getting a job in this region is an extreme sport. Avoid places like Waterloo, Toronto and other busy places because the cost of living na die and scarce jobs It’s better to move to other states like Alberta. Or even other small town in Ontario like Belleville @loyalist college |

[url][/url] Mcslize:Thanks for the advice. I think the technical analysis is spot on. But sometimes market conditions beats all technical analysis, bad news also drive price, future its basically for altcoins in good exchanges and it’s also the fastest way to get liquidated if you’re not careful. Technical analysis imo works better with forex compared to crypto but still good to know it. What I do is hodl solid altcoins for long term and trade meme coins. So everyday I hunt for the next shiny meme coins to make quick bucks and sell, reinvest them into solid projects for the bull run. Hodling strong altcoins beats trading them on the long run. And yes I’m a full time trader. I got burnt a lot this bear season which is normal. Even the best traders have huge losses. It’s just time consuming to trade all dY. Future trading is worse. U can get heart attack with future even with all the technical analyses lmao. If I can hit my target this coming bull run, I will do less trading and more of hodling while I focus on physical business like real estate etc. thanks for your input 2 Likes |

Selfkontrol:ur story is not far from what I'm currently facing that's why I know and said all that. I have assest too. House, land etc. But all that are just assest. Low in cash.... I also earn online and its not guaranteed. Though I could easily still save for my japa plan within three-four month if it was only me, but fortunately I have a wife and a son. After handling millions, I can't see my self doing 9-5 atleast not in Nigeria never. Going abroad with my family will translate to me selling my properties. I don't also. Not everybody will relocate abroad. I am two years younger than you are. I already started a little biz for my wife. Will continue saving hear and will continue hoping for a better future. Though sometimes I think about japa, but I no dey japa 2 Likes |

Selfkontrol:Good to the bank. Take a loan with ur property let's say about 20-40m naira loan. Start up something tangible. Don't mind those people saying learn a skill. Na everybody dey learn skill |

Lekan239:story of my life bro! It’s just a hard decision to make. It may look like you’re indecisive but for someone that has seen millions leaving and going to start life afresh with so much uncertainty is just too hard. My two brother in-laws are in America. They left as students tho they had nothing in Nigeria and still young. Most times they ask me to relocate but man these guys are not in my shoes lol. People way never see money no go understand. All there own na japa japa |
Re: Relocate Or Stay In Nigeria (serious Dilemma ) by Selfkontrol: 9:47pm On Jun 12, 2023 |
Lekan239:Omo I don’t really buy the idea of using loan to start a business. It’s too much risk. Business is not really a problem for me. 20m is something I can make easily in crypto and beside I won’t even have time for the business. I just need to set up something for my wife |

Evii:It’s probably the best thing to do for now since we’re still in bear season. Buying right now would set you up for the bull run. U don’t need much trading. Trading meme coins is super risky 1 Like |

Since you're a trader,making money should not be much of a problem atheist to feed,but for the sake of your children's future and for the sake of your old age,travel out. Sell your proper of say 40m buy a lesser property of 30m,use 10m and travel.if the system favors you,good stag and make more.if the system doesn't favor you return home atheist you have a home of your own plus japa experience.Goodluck. 1 Like |

genkins:UK is a no no. U get nothing in return not even passport while they suck you dry. No good jobs apart from care jobs.

Selfkontrol: There is enough information on and off Naira land to guide however, coming to ask from people who have no idea what your life/plans/aspirations are is not proper enough. |
Re: Relocate Or Stay In Nigeria (serious Dilemma ) by Selfkontrol: 10:19pm On Jun 12, 2023 |
GboyegaD:Yes i understand you and trust me I read up on things about japa both the good and the bad but I needed to get a clear perspective base on my situation. Remember everyone’s case is different. My question is if relocation is worth if. I love to learn from person’s experience cos I hate regrets. |

Selfkontrol:so you have it then. The rich are taking billons in loans. Even usa still dey collect loans. Don't let anybody deceive you |
Re: Relocate Or Stay In Nigeria (serious Dilemma ) by EronzRichie(m): 10:27pm On Jun 12, 2023 |
If you don't know, 1) CRYPTO TRADING is actually a SKILL. You making money from it shows that you know your onions 2)You are not OLD, You are 31, you have a lot of decades to live. Why don't you try a physical but lucrative business in nigeria, thereon, esthablish yourself as a serial business man since you have the Vibe of not "WORKING FOR ANYONE" before making it. Relocating is good if you have the means tho. 2 Likes |

Lekan239:I know. Taking loan is not bad. But using it to start up a new business is what I don’t support. It’s better to use it to expand your already stable business and remember loans abroad is Easier expecially for real estate with their mortgage system. |

Selfkontrol: The challenge is that every individual's goals differs. Therefore, whatever you read might not be the best guide in it all. The essence is that life is not a straight way. Sometime, the whole essence of life is understanding why we are making a decision and sticking by it so that in the face of the storms, it is easier to bend and allow it wash over us instead of standing against it and it either washing us off or breaking us. 1 Like |

Guest911:WhT is stopping you from relocating to a better city if you don’t mind me asking. You mean health care pay more than the programming job you’re currently doing? What would you’ve done differently if you where still in naija about to make such decision. What other skills and certifications would you recommend since you are there and know how the system works 1 Like |

Selfkontrol:I travelled under a study visa, so I can’t take full time programming jobs. And tech companies here won’t hire students/part-time. I can’t relocate to another city because I need to attend physical classes lol. I haven’t gotten another remote job yet because the tech job market isn’t in a good place now, so many layoffs and lots of competition and recession etc. I just got here sha so hopefully the job markets improves.

Guest911:Ok i understand. I thought you had the remote job in Nigeria and travelled via pr. I’m aware about the many layoffs and now with this new AI era with chatgpt etc, IT jobs will be so competitive. Maybe we can connect on WhatsApp if you’re cool. |

No matter the kind of advice you're given. You're still going to end up doing what's on your mind anyway. Well I'm just gonna drop this, maybe it's not for you but for other Nigerians looking to relocate. If you're doing well in Nigeria and you don't have any soft skill, it's best you stay away or do proper research before you travel. However, if you're in the category of those struggling and by struggling I mean earning less than 200k per month and with less than 7m in your account as savings. Then you might wanna consider relocating to countries like Canada, Aussie or the US. Avoid UK and some other European countries by all means. For your case, it's obvious you're doing well from your write up, hence I wouldn't advise you relocate to uncertainties, even if you must do, acquire the right skills before you travel and do not make the mistake of being apart from your wife either by going first while she stays back or you sending her abroad. Goodluck. 3 Likes |
