macbernard:
I'm with you bro, but you see, everything should be done prayerfully & proper consideration. Please folks should consider some of these things before relocating:

1. Relocating overseas should not be just because of your poor condition. Even if you're very comfortable but don't like the state of the country, pls move. There was someone close to me who was earning on average 6 million Naira a month in Nigeria, and he felt very rich & saw no reason in living overseas, but I always told him his narrow minded views were because he had never left Nigeria. The following year he visited the US, & came back screaming about what he had missed all his life. That same year he visited the US again, came back and visited Canada also. As I speak with you he had relocated to the US with his family.

2. I have noticed that many people relocate outside the country to start running jobs they wouldn't go near in Nigeria, you know why? It's because there's nothing to be ashamed of in another man's country. My honest advise to such people is that if you're based in Lagos and ashamed to start a certain kind of SME, why not go to Abuja or Calabar or Osogbo where no one knows you.

3. What are your life priorities? Are you seeking a place wey be say women wey them problem dey for them back go dey love you just cos u be Nigerian, then go to Kenya & Rwanda, you would never waste your time on Lagos girls again. Every where you go in Kenya it's bumbum & waist left, right & centre. So your East African wife is most likely gonna be more dark skinned, beautiful, humble & loving than your Nigerian wife. But then I think there is a large number of very beautiful women in Eastern Nigeria also.

4. Don't be desperate, do your research very well. This will help you avoid regrets.

5. Think about the future. Is that country going to be a stepping stone or your final destination, because if you start a business somewhere, you are likely to stay there for a very long time. So is that country worth the next 20 years? If not, have a rethink.

6. I don't blame people saying if they relocate they don't want to ever hear about Nigeria again, na the shit wey plenty for Naija cause am. But think about your future status in the countries available to you. It's very difficult to be a citizen in Kenya, even with marriage. It's easy in Botswana, but no dual citizenship so you have to renounce Nigeria. You can never become a citizen in UAE even if you live there for 40 years, I've been to UAE twice & as much as I love Dubai I won't want to relocate there. I strongly urge you not to relocate to a country where you can never become a citizen.

7. Don't trust everything you read on forums, including this my long sermon . Everybody's case is different. What is good for me might be bad for you & vice versa.

8. Despite the fact that I plan to relocate to another country. I do not hate Nigeria. Trust me I have lost a lot in this country: I've lost a lot of money, I've lost in business, I've lost in love & emotions, I've lost someone very dear to me because of the evil hearts of folks here. You see, if you wear the garment of your hatred for your people & country, it would follow you everywhere you go. It's one of the reasons there are unsuccessful immigrants in places like Canada & the US. Your attitude determines your altitude.

9. As much as you might not believe in God, be open minded, and he will guide you.

10. Don't forget n* 9.

Ugosample:


A Yoruba guy is not under any pressure to build a house in the village

A Hausa guy does not even give a Bleep (on average)

But am Igbo guy

The gbese on his head is too much

Activedreamer:


I once followed my Igbo friend to his village in Anambra. Dude,I was blown away by the beautiful duplexes, tarred roads(built by the rich,from what he told me ) and street lights. The road network is far better than what's in the 'cities .'

It was at that point I understood why my friend's hussles are triple of mine. Igbos are competitive in nature. But I'm yet to understand why one would build beautiful, well furnished mansion, and visit once or twice (e no dey pass 12 days per stay sef)a year.
Una people dey try. The pressure no be here.

Mosesoly:
Good day, i am fed up living in this country, especially living a life far below average, how much will it cost to travel to Rwanda by road and also by plane, presently i teach and i am also learning laptop engeering

FroshJaynex:
My guy u cannot even do yahoo yahoo here cos if dem catch u, ur name Na sorry oh. Am doing a legit business here, funny enough it's sponsored by the government with the help of a Botswana lady. My advice to you is get a skill and be good at it. you'd realize how much time you've wasted in Nigeria in just few months of making cool ND no stress cash. I know Nigerians who have changed their names already ND vowed never to step foot in Nigeria again

onatisi:
Please before travelling out,make sure you get your priorities right and plans right. Don't travel out just because ppl are saying outside is better ,the bitter truth is ,what you take out of Nigeria is what will determine how lucky you will be outside . Take plenty cash ,enough skills and education ,contacts if available and most of all plenty prayers and God's grace .
Many that travelled without getting their plans right always end up becoming worse than they were in Nigeria

cutieme:
Onatisi,please what skills are you talking about here?Thanks.

greggng:


Wow what a great news .. I can't wait to say bye bye to all this olosho

onatisi:

Technical skills . Anything you can do with ur hands. Tailoring,hairdressing,barbing, building skills . Not everyone will have millions to travel with but when you are outside ,there are certain skills that quickily get you an employment and pays the bill at least till you settle down. And this isn't limited to Africa alone. I know of a lady that went to Canada years back,she had second class upper from unaab in agric economics,on getting to canada she thought she will easily get a job,she was wrong. She was told to go back to school but she opted to train as a carpenter instead and with her education and everything she quickily learned Auto Cad ,and many other skills then attached it to the carpentry work. Bisi olatilo did a documentary on her then because after just a few years she bacame a very known and successful building contractor in her place and was also buying and selling as well as constructing. So going abroad isn't all about business business. Skills are very very important

onatisi:
The bitter truth is this
If you are skilled , talented , ambitious , intelligent, brilliant and educated. And added to this if you are between the ages of 24-45yrs old. And you are earning 70k per month in Nigeria with no additional source of income coming in and still living in Nigeria with the mindset that Nigeria will get better then Then I am very sorry to say this but you are living a wasted life . The truth is very very bitter but at times we just need to say it as it is

cutieme:
A good piece by macbernard!But what you wrote about Rwandan ladies ,is it true?Do they love Nigerians as you portrayed it?

Rexnegro:

Rexnegro:

Rexnegro:

cutieme:

opejole:
I will like to meet anyone that's in Mali here that can provide me with some info

peacengine:

Leave that cutie me na everlasting konji de worry de nigga.

peacengine:


Bad mouth nigga, wetin the guy talk wey make u call am gay?

Ugosample:


depends on what you want to do there

There are not many tourist sites there, and most od them are outside Bamako
You may have to take long journeys to Dogon and Timbuktu

But such things gave me memories

But if you are going there to hustle, forget it.
Poverty in Mali is SERIOUS

opejole:
thank u so much bro for the info

Runalong333:





Bostwana ; stable economy, good infrastuture ,similar life to South africa , and less crime . But sadly we have already messed up our name there too, the locals look down on us and the immigration officers give us a very hard time before letting you in. But if you are legit , you will live freely there, make sure your papers are in order and you avoid trouble.

Asquare84:


ibo people has done a nice job spoiling nigerian name, have you ask your self this simple question. why is it that most of drugs dealers that are arrested all over the world from nigerian are from eastern nigerian

cutieme:

I feel like helping everyone, but what I can say is that if you guys can drop your CV and credentials I will seriously be of help. But I will make a point clear that the salary is relatively poor only private class is the way out. I was in Niger teaching maths in an a level school at ilupeju Lagos and I was earning even bigger than my current salary but what I make from private class here in Gambia is *4....my Niger salary put together... Let me have your CV please.
