Even 2:1 self still dey look for work,wat do u want ond and hnd to do,what if u did nt go to school,wont u live

Nice to know you graduated from met/mat as we call it. I just did too.

Going to Italy to hustle? What do you mean by 'hustle'? To get involved with illegal activities?
A wise man once said, 'A lizard in Nigeria won't turn to an alligator in America'. Most people you
see with admirable lifestyles in Europe are into fraudulent activities, that's why you see them being
deported daily. Don't you think you still need capital to start business abroad? If you don't think you'd
be gainfully employed in Nigeria, do you think otherwise about Italy?

I just feel you you are too scared of the future and you have the 'get rich quick' syndrome. Get a
masters degree if you can. And, don't depend on being gainfully employed. Because that's not why
you went to school. Don't be afraid of starting small. Just be focused, always get busy and be keen
on self-development. You are young! Take advantage of it!

As the holy scriptures declare, 'the stone that the builder refused will one day become the chief corner stone'


To be candid bro, being a graduate in ur field is a step to success never get haste in Life becos u r still very young. I will advise u to follow this bros Advice. Sky is not the limit soon u will get there. My own Story is similar too, i wasted money on travelling Abroad which doesnt work out while doing my masters in Engineering, i started with small salary and things r working out gradually, As a graduate in Electronics And Computer Engineering After my service in Kano i never want to come back to Lagos being idle i started with teaching job of 10k per month. bro nothing is too small for u to start with.

adren:


you sound deep-rooted in the 'business'..
if i may, i need more guidance from you as regards scholarships, work and study abroad...

As someone who has hustled in Italy, I think he should really listen to you .

I am currently stucked in the middle with my head hurting so bad from thinking progressively..

I had a 2.2 in metallurgical and materials engineering and with this system of employment in nigeria- massive graduates, limited jobs, I must confess that i am forced to look elsewhere for my lifetime opportunities..

i believe in myself...YES i do!!! however, quite obviously, my chances of been gainfully employed are low, that is even if they meagerly exist..

so... i have made up my mind... perhaps, because i am still very young or because i am from a lowly background where my father nor my relative can give me a huge amount of money to start a lucrative business..therefore, i want to go all out by myself..

now.. i have two resolutions..

should i go for an eighteen months full time master program to supplement my 2.2 or take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go hustle for myself abroad..??

which is better??

matured advice needed with experiences...
how did you made it to the top on your own especially when you started from the rock bottom??

Mods please help a brother get to canaanland by doing the needful

y'all just bashing me like none of you won't dissapear at the first chance you get to leave naija..

naija is only 'sweet' for wealthy people..

my travel destination might not be italy finally.. it might be anywhere in UK or america or canada..

italy is my #1 choice because of their vast availability of direct opportunities, skilled labour and zero tolerance to rasicm.. they do not have religious crisis too... you are safer in italy or spain than you are in france, america or turkey or malaysia..

rakumiii:


I get you point and I am so proud of those 2 guys anywhere in the world doing what they do and would definitely not knock their hustle...... In the case of Italy, there is the first issue of language barrier so working in a building/construction company might not be possible to start with.... Things are very hard for foreigners in Europe these days.... The things we could get away with in 1998 or even 2008 is almost impossible to do in 2015.... typically, what I have seen is that a 23yrs old guy who firsts gets to Europe will be very open and willing to do any kind of work... but after a few months or a year, because he has made some friends and knows his way around, he would look down at that particular job as something degrading..... not to talk of being stuck there for 5years...

Also remember that just because a person doesnt

guy if ever u decide to travel DON'T ever go to eroupe

Ok I would have liked to use myself as case sturdy but that wont be fair so I will use the average.All hustling in the eyes of the law would be illegal ,I don't mean as in 419 or selling narcotics, it might involve working in the black market ie no papers or borrowed papers.Yes if you are 23 years then you can hustle for 5 years with self discipline.Thats for a man who knows where they are coming from and where they are going.
I make an example.Two brother hustled in 9ja and saved up and traveled to the UK, rented a big room for £510 a month for two of them this included al Bills.the both working for a building/construction firm and are doing the london cross rail project, this is going on for 7 years..They earn £9/hr work Mon-sat. thier take home is £1850 after tax, they save £2000 monthly between them and send back to 9ja.Aprox (N700k)
So if they do this for 40 months only they save N28M between them, this is 3 years 3 months.Now waht I just told you is what two of my smallies are doing here in London and they are 2 years into it, and are going back to Nigeria for good this time next year.Even me wey be baba Agba run come back here come work collect ££ as £££ get power now.This is same storey for most Nigerians in the UK wahtever job they are doing E make sense right now cos of exchange rate which is £1 to N350.Al these are honest monies no back hand bribe or 419.what I gave was an illustration for a hustler not a professional, for that the stakes are even higher.

I feel you, the only country to hustle in Europe is the UK any other o ne na Bad market.US is great so is canada.I say Uk cos its full of 9ja people, its easy to go with the flow and 9ja people live i n close proximity, no B una wey dey USA to go see your guy nah 4 hours drive , here i n the Uk men dey live same street go same market.But if U go another country inside Europe U are on ur own oOh
