Shalomc:

Great. But there are other side's to the generally bandied stories.... Although I doubt the doctor story.

Shalomc:

Engineer working in a financial institution? What do you do there? Just curious.

o42austino:
it is true,canadian doctors earn 350,000-380000 per year with 42% income tax.

Ejadike:
bro, does one needs to learn this before leaving the shores of this country?

tabithababy:
Hmmmm

Same way some foo'ls will discourage you not to relocate to Lagos

Nigerians

Exactly. When my sister and her husband landed, thier earnings were below $45k a year cos they were new. The government paid her $500 for each of her children and she has 4. She didn't need any daycare cos my mum was helping out to look after them. This was in 2016. In 2017, my sister and her husband had a combined earning of $121,000. My sister used to work as an accountant in Nigeria but she is working as a social worker here. Her husband was also a contract Staff in Shell earning 400,000 naira in Nigeria. He is here working as a mechanic earning about than 3 times his pay in Nigeria. Government doesn't pay for their kids anymore cos thier household earnings is now greater than $70k.Nigerians here find ways to spend way less on expenses than people think. Trust, if you work hard here, you will succeed.

Use WES to evaluate your HND degree and then you can apply for admission for Masters.

To get more information about WES evaluation, search via Google & the USA student visa thread in nairaland etc etc

Tinyemeka:


But it's true!

Doctors in Quebec just last month complained about being overpaid. They said the government should consider increasing the pay of nurses and other health sector staff instead.

TheAngry1:

Learn the language, how difficult is that?

Obi4gboy:
It might seem like peanuts to you but $1300 a week in Canada after taxes is almost 7500 a month before taxes. Trust me you can live very well on this, especially if you have no debts.

Stallion93:
Mr, what I mean is She might be a tool used by the Canadian gov to psycho fvvk Nigerians with intent to migrate to Canada cause presently Canada is Experiencing more than usual Influx of Nigerian nationals into the Country

Osahon7:
The baseline of everything is that, you shouldnt leave your well paying job here in Nigeria for a future that is not certain in canada. Except you are a Doctor, Nurse or you are ready to start a carrerr in the health profession. Canada/USA dont care weda you are a bank manager or not in your country. Bank mangers,CEO&MD are not Occupations. They are positions.

yemi15:
do it yourself. You don't need an agency.

Came back home to earn my degree as there was no money to complete it abroad then.

Saw a Canada immigration service on this same nairaland but their cost is too prohibitive at 270,000 naira.

Freiburger:

So? What are the benefits of taking the road with a huge chance?

Ugosample:
Nigeria is a country filled with animals, with people who oppress those beneath them with no remorse whatsoever,

A country without laws or standards, and majority of the voters blinded by bigotry and ethnic sentiments.

Let me not even go on and on


Sometimes it's, not about the money, as Nigeria is one of the easiest place to make money, especially when you are ready to cut corners and act without conscience, but for many, it's about living life in a sane environment, where time of law is respected And where there are prospects.


You may not make it in millions there, but with your children and grand children being born in western countries, they will have more opportunities, So it's not just about you


to cut long story short, if you can leave, you better, if not you will most likely regret it in 15 years time

When I left Nigeria 7 years ago, one euro was less than N200, fuel price was so low, with 50naira, I could buy bread and beans, and be filled. Fast forward seven years after, the nation has not only progressed but regressed. Somehow, this lady chooses to focus on the challenges living in a new land as a yardstick to advise others not to come. What an idiot.

The problem with Nigeria is structural. A billionaire won't enjoy what average citizens in civilize country enjoys. I live in the Netherlands and Illegals here are entitled to world-class medical system Buhari runs to London for, and guess what? for free. My classmate routinely travels the world without a visa every weekend to a different country, I fly almost every week for as low 5euros one way, and I've even flown for one euro before (I can upload ticket here if anyone doubts it.)

No matter how poor one is, you can count on the system for your personal protection, education, health, opportunity, just name it. If you have the mean to leave Nigeria, you should leave. In my book, the country is a sinking ship and it will only get worse. Even look at the caliber of a candidate contesting for president, ranging from pastors, old men, and illustrates. Just goes to show that there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

[s]Spot on, this has always been my position always, Nigeria is beyond redemption, those who want to be patriotic can continue and they should enjoy the shithole it offers, nonsense [/s]

peacengine:


Guy, why are you so bitter? You must be suffering, to be this frustrated with your life abroad.

AngelicBeing:
[s]Hahaha, I am suffering with the goodies in the West, deal with it and enjoy your shithole jungle, it seems my post struck a nerve on your miserable life in your shithole, let me head to Starbucks and take a cup of coffee, I don't have your time, my last response to you zombie, a lazy, demented, frustrated and hopeless Nigerian youth [/s]

peacengine:


Hahaha I know a bragger when I see one. No be you I see for Ajegunle under bridge today? Criminal
