IF you are under 40 years old and can take the exertions of the hustle, I say leave Nigeria. Do it in the name of your children, born and unborn. Do it for yourself. Leave that broken and broke country for awon politicians and their friends, the woke intellectuals and writers, smh. Leave if you don't want to spend the rest of your life "oing Gen" and "Off Gen"
What breaks my heart is, Power will never be fixed. Yes, I said it, quote me 10 Years from now. You'll see!
No one man can individually salvage Nigeria.

And if it is looking bleeped for you, do not feel ashamed to reposition.

Nigeria will exist long after you are dead.

Enjoy yourself when you can and that can happen anywhere.

PS reposted so I can encourage myself and folks who might still need this reminder.

Don't know why USCIS is delaying my citizenship approval. I already passed my citizenship test. I'm planning on my Europe trip and I really need that US Passport to make it happen. I have applied for schegen Visa through french/France embassy and I got the visa already. I'm submitting my UK visa application on Thursday. Hopefully, I get the Visa too.

I'm trying so hard to convince my wife not to go with me on the trip as she will really slow me down.

I plan to arrive at UK, spend 2 days(im not a fan of UK though), then proceed to Amsterdam/Brusell/Geneva - Italy(Rome, Venice, Amalfi coast, Postiano) - Barcelona - Paris then back to US.

I'll be staying 24hrs(overnight) in each cities. I have figured out the flight details, still contemplating on using trains(eurorails) for short trips with two countries very close to each other but ill see how it goes .

I want to this Europe twice. Next time I will just visit the other schengen areas that I wont be able to visit when I go this year.

I have been to Hawaii this April and Nigeria this May but nothing much to documents.

2023, I plan to go to Australia and South America(Brazil). Australia is quite a distance bit I wanna see what's going on there

2024 - Asia(China, Thailand, Indonesia or Singapore)

Upon visit to all the continents with the exception of Antarctica, I think I'll be done and satisfied.

Oh Dubai! I still have unfinished business there grin

This is one of the major reasons I want to have a passport or PR of a developed country; The ability to travel around the globe at a young age without the heculain task of proving home ties, which mostly old rich travelers with Nigeria passport don't have.

That is why I 'cringe' when I hear some young remote tech workers living in Nigeria say the rather remain in Nigeria and earn dollars, you will have to make do of Dubia or Maldives every year, because other visa free countries are not worth it.

I have always wanted to continue my thread BUT the picture qualities on my phone is always above 4MB or close to and nairaland allows maximum of 4MB. So it kind of slow me down as I have many things to upload
When I need to compress pictures to any size I want, I use this site: https://compressnow.com/ you can compress it to any size you want by selecting the percentage of compression. You can compress 10 pictures at once, and you can download them at once or one after the other.Weldone chief for this educative thread.

No, you still have to apply for visa. I have both UK and Schengen visa.

The only difference is you don't have to prove unnecessary home ties to convince them you will be coming back. Both my visa applications, I didn't provide any tour itinerary. I just Said in my application I'm going for sight seeing.

Hello, pls how do one from USA call to Nigeria. I gave one my number to call me starting with +234 but the person said it didn't go at all. so I saw on nairaland the quoted info below ,idk if it's how it's done. pls tell me how u call Nigerian number directly.
" So, for example, to call
a Nigerian mobile(08038889999) from the US, I will dial
0112348038889999. 011 is the Intnl' dialing prefix for the US. If you
are using a GSM phone you will dial +2348038889999. The network
will automatically prepend the number with the international dialing
prefix for whatever country you are calling from"
