Dear Nairaland,

I need your opinion before I made my final decision.

I graduated in 2012 with a 2.1 in Marketing, and by Gods grace, I am working in a good organization that pay almost 500k per month.

Unfortunately, my chances of being promoted in my current place of work is slim due to office politics and bias for local degree.

I therefore intend to resign and pursue a masters degree in International Business, International Development, or Electronic Business Technologies in USA or Canada.

I hope to sponsor myself through my savings.

Is this a good move?

Can I get a good job after graduation?

Can I get a part time job to take care of my bills?

Please I need your advise.

Thanks and happy Sunday!

If I earn your kind of money I won't be thinkibg of relocating but will go on various vacations so as ro be well versed. You living the life in the ****hole.

You should leave ASAP but make sure you are going to a top school. Target at least top 50 and spread your tenticles. Look also to schools in the USA and research on scholarships. I used to be one of those that believed in Africa and would always talk people out of leaving but after I saw Italy my perspective just changed. We in Nigeria are living like animals and no amount of money can change this. Leave if not for your sake, for your children's sake. They would forever be grateful.

What experience are you talking about? The experience of chineji, someone who spent a few days in Italy on vacation, not even someone who studied, worked or stay longer in the country to understand the real experience. Someone who has experienced and with no knowledge of neither the living or working conditions.

I hope Mr chineji has been to Milan lampugnano to see the hundreds of Africans who are looking to leave Italy in droves due to lack of job opportunities. I hope he has been to Parma to see how 12 Nigerians are cramped in 2 bedroom apartments. I hope he also saw well educated Nigerians who are sweeping the streets of Italy. And I do hope he knows there are as many Italians migrating to Germany for better opportunities.

So I think you need those with more experience that that. Well, unless you are going to the USA or Canada to go and admire the blue sea, US & Canadian women, the good roads or the fast trains.

The Nigerians there should all come back to Nigeria then since Nigeria is better than Italy. Any Nigerian abroad who is advising a fellow Nigerian or African to remain in Africa is more wicked than the devil. Op even the politicians in Nigeria all have foreign passports. They give birth to their kids abroad and yet they tell the commoners to believe in Nigeria. Believe in what. You are bright and young leave ASAP. I finished school and no job in this shithole called Nigeria. To run a business or raise funding in this hellhole is as hard as rocks yet I kept on working and believing in the continent. We have suffered so much that we see abnormal as normal. Op flee if you can flee.

He should flee without proper planning when he is earning half a million in Nigeria, I’m not against him Travelling because at some point in life, you will need to experience the outside community. At first, going for masters degree in USA or Canada will not guarantee you automatic job after graduation because you will join bunch of jobless immigrants seeking job opportunities also because I have like 2 friends that ended up in Nigeria after their masters degree. Secondly , if you plan on doing any kind of work(hustling) over there, then I can implore you to move but a bird at hand is worth a million in the bush. The kind of salary that even Nigerians in abroad are even dreaming of is what you are debating on...

Please don't pour your frustrations on me. I'm not responsible for whatever challenges you are facing. We all have ours. Direct your anger to the politicians who have the foreign passport you are screaming about.

My advice is to the Op. May I remind you that the Op is not searching for a job nor seeking funding for a business. He is earning 500k in a good organization. Telling him to seek advice from those who have PROPER EXPERIENCES and knowledge about the life and work situation is not and should not be a crime. He is not migrating to the USA to go and feed on good roads, fast trains or drink the blue sea.

At least if he should seek one, not from those suffering from inferiority complex.

"I used to think it was impossible for women to be interesting and funny but white women proved me so wrong". says a lot about you, your lifestyles and the people you surround yourself with.

Not only is that comment an insult to my mother and the thousands of Beautiful and Intelligent Nigerian women I have studied, worked and interacted with, it is an insult to the many black people who have fought and sacrificed their lives to correct this kind of stupid notion that is now coming from a supposed black man.

I mean, of all women in the world, Italian women. If they were well read and know absolutely everything, they will first of all know that Africa is a continent and not a country.

Guy, don’t just because you went to Italy and saw beatiful roads and good infrastructures, that will mean everything is good with them including job opportunities, if you know how some Nigerians fair abroad, then you will know it is not easy at all. Even Italians are migrating to neighboring countries because of job opportunities and you are here in your own world talking about good roads and good infrastructure, maybe that’s what op will be feeding on when he gets there.
PS: you think if there is a sure job of 500k monthly salary been assured for some Nigerians abroad, you will see a lot coming back including me ��

Migrate to where. Italians don't even need a visa to leave their country to any other developed nation. With the rest of Europe they could just go with an ID card. If the Africans in Europe have it that bad then they should come back to Nigeria. Elections are next year and Buhari has a 99 percent chance of winning. Maybe he will bring in the so talked about jobs with a salary if 500k at least a month.

The below pic is what Italians need to go to Germany. I chose Germany because she has the largest economy in Europe.

So a Nigerian moving to Ghana ie not Migration or what? Someone needs to define migration to you. Definitely not me.

It's understandable now when you say you don't see smart and beautiful Nigerian women. Coulomb's law states that "Like charges attract, and unlike charges repel".

Yadayada undecided. I have given the op my own advice. He can do whatever he wants. It's his life.

If you must go abroad, try and revise the list of courses you mentioned there and look for something more practical that will give you the skills you need to succeed in your new environment.

Dear @BornToSucced,
I am happy you’re not dissuaded by what you currently earn. Nothing lasts forever in Nigeria. However, I do not see why you’ll resign only to go run masters degree when you can do it yourself and get a permanent residency in Australia or Canada.

This is the link to Australia thread here on Nairaland. Search Nairaland for the Canny thread.

Bro, your problem is not village people, it's not politicians, it's not your education, it's YOU. How many days did you spend in Italy that has made you an experienced consultant? grin awon Profs ti de cheesy The OP is very free to resign from a N500K job, but he's not coming from a place of frustration like you, he's very comfortable, just needs to experience other cultures to appreciate what he has.

Don’t listen to Nigerians that compare their country to advanced countries.

Don’t listen to Nigerians that blame their skin color for their frustration.

Don’t listen to Nigerians that claim everybody washes dishes.

Many of these people that complains doesn’t even have anything to fall on back home.Give them oppotunity to live in moon,They will still complain.It is called Human Behaviour.

Never compare yourself anybody rather focus on just you ,yourself.

I wish you good luck bro.

What you can do depends on your own abilities and interests, of course.

But I will advise you to take as your starting point the lists of occupations in demand for which Canada and Australia are seeking immigrants. Discount most of the white collar ones and pay more attention to those that are practical skills-based.

Lastly, remember that paper qualifications are not as valued there as they are here, so you need to target your efforts and hard-earned naira.

Best of luck.
