if you travel legally age is not an issue. I have fellow Nigerians with over 20 years experience from Nigeria working in the same place i work in Canada. They mostly came for MBA or followed their younger wife in migrating.

The a writing Nigerian person in his 50s still has strength to hustle even if na menial jobs.

But why would anybody be thinking of doing menial jobs at the age of 50+? Why do we have such poor aspirations for ourselves?

Many people japa ing are driven by fear and not by purpose. And if you lack purpose and expression of your innate talent, then your life will be a life of mediocrity regardless of where you live.

Those cases are far different, those ones already had kids in those countries. She is referring to 40+ newly coming to struggle from the beginning.

Any 40+ that travels abroad at that age is setting themselves up for failure.

Shut up!!! You are just an ignoramus. People like you are stuck with a warped mindset. Free yourself from the chains and shackles of societal expectations.

Business failure, job losses, billings and life happens. Some have been trying to get back on their feet after these events but nothing happened. They then used their own travel history to japa to fend for their families. I know several people this happened to. Some later came back to Nigeria with capital they got from hustling.

Listened to a few seconds of the video and I can tell she's an IDIIIOT with bad intentions.

First of all, 99% of the People who travel abroad do NOT do it to make money. So the premise of her NONSENSE argument is flawed.

The amount of money that is needed to complete the process of emigration in Nigeria is MIND-BOGGLING! The idea that it's ONLY poor people looking for money that choose to travel to UK, Europe, USA, Canada, etc is just plain DUMB!

It's even dumber when you consider the fact that a 40-year old man is UNLIKELY to receive external support to finance his plans.

People who travel do it to get AWAY from the economic quagmire, political instability, infrastructural collapse and the general LAWLESSNESS that is the hallmark of the Nigerian society.

Put simply, people travel out to get a better quality of life for themselves and their families.

Anyone who thinks people are fleeing Nigeria to make money is just being DELIBERATELY obtuse.

She's advocating for staying in Nigeria and "looking for money in dirty places". She doesn't realize that all the money in Nigeria would make no difference if you fall sick and the hospitals do NOT have ordinary X-ray machine to help with the diagnosis.

For those reading this:

If it enters your body to leave Nigeria and you can afford it, LEAVE! Even if you are 99 years old, LEAVE!
And finally, who is it that said you can't travel abroad and make money?

Regarding the bolded, what gives you the right to compel others to live by your life's timetable? Some will do the menial jobs at 50 and live successful lives later on in life, some will be extremely rich in their 50s in Nigeria, but will spend about everything the have paying ransome to kidnappers and finally die of heart attack. We all have different paths in life.

Very unfortunate speech, lacking proper research. Is she aware there are people who have second or third homes abroad and still make their day-to-day money from Nigeria? Everyone over 40 years have specific reasons for going abroad. It could be children's education, better quality of life, safety... ...or even money! A 40 year old is NOT OLD! They probably struggled for so long here, believing in Nigeria and have given up on the country, no one should tie them down in a location that is clearly not working for them just because they are 40. They are 40 not 100! She needs to do her research well

You are even more not serious self. How will you be saying that 99% of travelers aren't going there because of the intention of making money. That is a complete lie. It's completely nonsense jor. Most people want to make money over there and come back here. It's difficult for you to get the best life over there than here that is why you see Africans doing job that they won't do in their country but you see them doing it over there. You will hardly work to buy a care there or build a house over there. You can't own a good property but you can here.
Who told you he wants to build a house there?

Just shut up and don't talk about abroad if you hadn't lived there. Don't deceive or discourage others with false information.
From experience, the moment you enter US you will understand say they live life and you guys in Nigeria and Africa merely exists just Like animals.
Success in America knows no age. And it's easy and feasible.
Life is easy and sweet in America. Humans act like humans, most of the time not Nigeria wey everybody dey mad.

A chartered accountant working as a bank manager came to the US at forty five. He is a member of my church. He worked menial jobs for about three years before getting his work authorization, I helped him to secure a job at my work as a consultant when he was 48. This is a government job. After two years, he got full time job with Barclay bank making 6 figures. That is just within 5 years. If you are a professional in Nigeria and you are ready to continue to study when you get to US and Canada, don't let people discourage you if you plan to move. I don't know much about Europe but US and Canada are not bad at all. These countries have more jobs than available skilled professionals. Especially in STEMS and accounting. My mailbox is regularly filled with companies soliciting me to come and work for them.

It depends on the individual. If the person is skilled and is willing to develop.. He or she always stands a chance... I know a mother aged 47 who we to study nursing from law and is doing well... It all depends on the individual

People who constantly repeat this nonsense miss the reason why a lot of older people relocate.

It is not always about going to look for money.

What is healthcare like in Nigeria? There’s a common saying that the average Nigerian is one serious health problem away from being bankrupt. I’m not rich, but where I live, I don’t have to worry that if my kidney fails today I will come online to beg for donations.

What of security? A lot of you back home live in perpetual fear of armed robbers, unknown gunmen, herdsmen. You can’t even go around and conduct your business in peace without fear of possibly coming into some harm. No be just the other day a luxury bus was robbed around Ijebu Ode, and the passengers were burnt inside the bus by the criminals.

Meanwhile I’ve been parking on the street for 5 years now and never had an incidence. But na for inside my compound in Naija that thieves scaled the fence, cracked my boot open and stole my battery. Na for inside Nigeria, armed robbers robbed almost every house on my street, raped multiple women in one night and police never showed up.

If you’re 40 (and you’re a man), chances are that your kids are still very small. Your oldest kid is probably less than ten years. If you’ve sat down and done your analysis, and you think you can give them a better quality of life outside Nigeria, and you have the means to do so, my man, LEAVE. I have friends who arrived way past the 40-year mark and they are the happier for it. No dey listen to these yeye vloggers.

Errm, it took me ten years before I become a permanent resident and I came through the study route. Was never at one point illegal and was staying with my relatives. It takes a while to naturalize in Europe. It took my family friend ten years to naturalize in Cyprus (South) and he was studying and working there. I know some people who have been in the States for almost two decades and they haven't gotten their papers yet. They came as students, graduated and have been working ever since with top firms in the States. The Canadian PR route you mentioned is an exception and not the norm.

Some of these folks think people can't get paparrs from their comfort zone in Nigeria before relocating? People get PR and work permits before travelling. This advice is for illegal migrants, what the heck is people take ten years to get documents? So you enter Europe without documents? Wonders shall never end.

Yours is a different ball gamez when I use the word having documents I meant a legal right to work not necessarily a PR. Having a work permits gives you a document to work in that land unlike what illegal aliens go through.

The US is special because of their peculiar immigration laws that makes it a quota based system unlike Canada that make it a point based system or point based system. You can seamlessly have a work visa post studies even if it takes you a decade to have a PR you already have a document to continue to work wherever you find yourself.

My point was that illegal migrants who usually pass through hell should never be in the position to advice legal migrants who are in tandem with the laws of the host and have every approvals to function legally.
