I started my barbing salon shop 2 years ago in lagos and it has gone far. I have 2 other locations in my area too. I am making up to 100k monthly from my 3 shops and other ventures. Aside that, I also set up barbing shop for people at a fee and also do home barbing services. But now, my sister in middle East Oman to be precise is telling me about an opportunity to UAE �� for job. So I am considering it and at the same time my job. Please I don't know which options to go for. Any suggestions is welcome... No insults please. Mind u, I am married with 2 kids.

How much is 100k monthly for a single guy, not to talk of a married man with kids? How long will it take you to save to buy a good car or get a house for yourself?

My advice to you is to hand over your barbing salons to a trusted brother, friend, or maybe your wife to manage for you for some months and go hustle abroad. If it works out, you get enough money to relocate to a better country, or set up yourself better back home in Nigeria. If it doesn't work out, you still have your salons to fall back on.

Life's an adventure, you only get what you reach out for.

The job opportunity in UAE, is it to work as a barber or something else?
Do you intend to close your shops and travel out, or the shops will keep running and providing money in your absence?
Do you intend to travel alone or with your family?
Do you have a job waiting for you there or are you supposed to find one after you arrive?

PS: Don’t listen to any Nigerian that lives abroad and is telling you life in Nigeria is better than life abroad. Except the person is actually in UAE and can offer first hand information based on experience.

Well if you are sure that you are making it here in nigeria up too this amount you mentioned then no problem you traveling..... But since ur sister recommend the job and say an opportunity then cant your wife handle the job if no she cant then you can stay back.. if yes then give it a traial anything anybody is telling you that nigeria is sweeter than another man land my brother dont listen to them, go and have first hand experience ur destiny and them re not the same

@OP stay back in Nigeria.

If you must travel, then travel to countries where you can make a home yourself and children and get a valuable second passport. Unfortunately, there are just few countries in this category.
Don't just travel for the sake of making money or for the sake of travelling.

So with 100k monthly in a city like Lagos, and a wife and 2 children, you think he's a king?

Oga if abroad no favour you, run back home. E no work for you no mean say e no go work for others. Or better still, share your failures so others can learn and not make the same mistakes you made.

Stop discouraging others that wish to travel out.

Did u Read well before u comment? I didn't discouraged anyone..wat I said is a fact, My advice to him have nothing to do with failure because am fuckenly okay....he has a business bringing him 100k every month in time he will have more than that his a married man with kids...is a forum he can take my advice or live it.

other foreign country... yes
UAE... NO

OP, 100k isnt much especially for a family man but you seem to be an enterprising person. You have the capacity to make more and even own a small business empire of your own.

I'd say give it careful thought. Ask questions then make your decision.
