BigDawsNet:To be sincere with you. As a single person studying, he won't make it. He will weary you always to send him money for rent and all cos he's only allowed to work 20 hours which is limited mainly to warehouse or cleaning that maybe 14hours weekly. He won't even afford his houserent let alone paying his tuition in full. Why is it that Nigerians don't want to learn trade and invest. Sincerely, I regret coming here but I know with patience I will recover all I've spent. If he can come through sponsorship, that's fine to work. Abeg leave that education matter as its not worth spending such amount of money. Here we all end up doing training upon training cos that's what they prefer other than school. Send him to learn a trade in naija and invest on it. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Just know if you are currently worth or earning 3000 USD Iin Nigeria- you're worth double or triple in the diaspora. What you need is information on the right country to explore. The Republic of Ireland sponsors work visa for IT Professionals even from outside Ireland, US and Canada likewise. Ensure you work strictly with the organisation and carry out due diligence on how to find the right Employer and how to sort your visa. hazinibones: 2 Likes |

To be honest, I envy you. My advise is to evaluate how you see the standard of living in the nearest future. Nigeria as an economy is very unpredictable as a result of political instability and lawlessness.One stupid policy in Nigeria is enough to render your remote job useless and stressful if possible you could even lose it. Don't just rush to US or Canada or UK.It is terrible especially with their unfavourable tax legislations to immigrants. If I were in your position,I would stay for a while and gather as much money as possible such land assets for rental incomes annually, investments that is very liquid since you are not earning from Naija .Don't spend excessively on ladies or any other unprofitable frivolities.You don't even need a car to waste fuel.These are your backup plan when you decide to Japa and it goes south. After gathering such financial wealth, I would recommend going to places of low taxes and tax havens with your remote job.Only go on vacations to UK,Canada or US.I would like to connect with you. 1 Like |

See mouths like earn is dollars and spend in naira. You build a dollar standard of living in Nigeria - solar, workstation and all. When the company downsizes, which Nigerian company will pay you half or a quarter of what you used to earn in dollars. Then depression follows, people think you have money that you don't. Job security over anything abeg, we are going through a lot as it is. tensazangetsu20: 1 Like |

Gbam. Strugglers can do that but not a single guy earning 3kusd/month. If he continues to be prudent in spending and investing wisely, imagine what he will be able to acquire in 20 yrs time when his kids want to study abroad. Who will deny them visa? Greenscientist: |

Mayfrank: Immediately I got my first remote job I started planning my movement. I remember the same nonsense talks. I no send. I stayed in my parents house, bought small solar and still maintained myself. Did my research and got what I wanted. I have a lot of friends who are earned more than op but are falling into poverty. They have all been laid off and no jobs again. 1 Like |

Klass99: I am also facing the same dilemna the op is facing. But the main reason I intend to jappa is because of stunted career growth and lack of promotion. At least travel and get and MBA, then make a career switch from there. Sometimes money is not enough! |

If you currently earn $3000 as a software engineer and you are based in Nigeria then you have no reason to leave, I am based in the United States and trust me when I tell you that life is super expensive… the $3k you earn is almost the amount we pay for bills monthly if you don’t believe me let me do a simple calculation Rent monthly $1200 car insurance $156, cable $90 phone bills $50 this is just the least not including other bills and Taxes.. so to break even you have to work extra jobs and overtime to save and send money home. 3 Likes |

Re: Is Japa Worth It? by Mayfrank(m): 2:09pm On Jul 25, 2023 |
I'm telling you... nothing sadder than losing a 3k USD/ month job to settle for 300k or 500k naira job (with the grace of God). For those saying invest, investment is good o. But it's mid and long term goals (whether in abroad or naija). Person gats survive and pay bills today today. tensazangetsu20: |
Re: Is Japa Worth It? by tensazangetsu20(m): 2:11pm On Jul 25, 2023 |
Mayfrank: 300k where? You no even call 50k or 100k. You dey call 300k. With the economic situation of Nigeria if you see any company willing to pay 300k omho hold them tight die but then that money is nothing especially if you live in Lagos. One year savings you no fit buy Corolla |

Is not it worth all, since you are paid in dollars and you live in Nigeria, with that amount you can get a very safe place here and work remotely. I'm also interested in becoming a software engineer my, I have started learning programme early this year. I would really appreciate if you can guide me. DM me when less busy.
