I weak when I see am. The way people give out incorrect information authoritatively is alarming.

With boldness

7M is little for undergraduate IT degree in those countries.

Yeah, without a scholarship, you need at least 8 (Semesters) X 8k CAD =64,000CAD for a 4 year degree as an international student. UK will be equal or greater than that same amount.

It is very annoying if you have had someone in thesame shoe. Even if it is my relative I will insult him. Even the Bible uses the word foolish to address certain people. Most Nigerians will have 10million naira and will start running abroad thinking everything is bread and butter there.

I have had a friend of mine..a very good friend deported due to this very same issue. In Germany, I have come across same issue a few time. You will see them critically begging for assistance like their life depended on it. It is very very annoying.

The family of that my friend back then in Nigeria had to sell their land and family properties just for nothing.

You've a point but why was ur friend deported?
And do u live in Germany?

Advice

Your age is disadvantage if you want to study in Canada even for MSC. 30 below is best for quick admission into MSC not to talk BSC.

UK is not advice able. A lot of limitations. 7m is too small even for a course not to talk of I.T or physiotherapy. You need scholarship or solid sponsorship. But your age is disadvantage. You want to go for first degree. Thats a no.

Depend on your field, you can try Canada but not on education. Get a job offer from any organization unskilled labor then you can enroll on certificate courses there that will give you a certification of a specific skill to get skilled jobs.

With time you can get a permanent residency.


Your age is not advice able for undergraduate study so you won't waste your money.

You can try other countries in Europe but get answers to your age first.

How many years did it take you to work for 7m. If you earn around 500k monthly or more, you have a family financially stable, bro its better you stay and get a family first before you consider traveling.

Traveling without first degree or a wanted skill is like slavery for anyone earning 400-500k monthly in Nigeria. It will take time for you to stabilize over there.

How can one get a job offer in canada sir ?

Originalsly:


Go US.... auto mechanic... return home... you will make millions. Supply and demand...... there is a hugeeeeeee demand for certified mechanics who an work on newer cars..... but the supply is sooooo limited. Knowledge is power.... scarce knowledge even more power.

lol, getting into US ain't easy as it seems at that age.

Plus how does one go about the auto mechanic craftsmanship when he gets there ?

MufasaLion:


Point of correction. I haven't seen a scenario where money was ever wasted on education. Education/Knowledge is golden irrespective of the age you acquire it.

Scale of preference here, 36 years should be thinking of settling down, 7 million on abroad education is it really worth it?

A little back story.
I am a 36 YO guy with no university certificate, was too wayward to finish school in FUTO then, left school in my 2nd year for a 4 year course.

Tried my hands on business years later and currently have 7M naira saved.
Now, I want to go for degree and eventually start a family .
I am considering seeking admission in a UK or Canadian school. Luckily, I have sponsors .

For a guy of my age , looking to study IT related course or physiotherapy and eventually seeking residency, would you recommend UK or Canada?
Please I need supported answers.

Thank you all.

Don't go abroad.... it's not rosy anywhere.

School in Nigeria with N1m and establish yourself with the rest N6m after graduation.

Don't waste your money travelling abroad

It is not worth it. In fact, Op asked a childish question. Imagine wasting N7m just to travel abroad. School in Nigeria, Bells University Ota, and save the rest N5m.

If I may ask, what kind of business did u engage in for you to save #7m.

That's my humble opinion also, I believe he is picking all the opinion here, whatever biz he is doing to raise 7mil shouldn't be taken for granted, like he said he will go for degree and eventually start a family that's very important, for me the degree can wait, money must be made, family has to be raised.

No, it's not. It's only required for Canadian PR card holder. Please, correct your post to avoid public misinformation.

Exactly my point, it's a total waste, my point is he can get a degree far lesser here with 2mil put that 5mil for him business or probably raise a family since time it's no longer on his side, 36 years no be pikin unless he is sure him go fit get better work there while doing the degree but it's not always as easy as it sounds.

georgeakins:
People should stop asking stupid and fake questions here. If you have a job that can fetch you N7m savings , you would not be thinking of relocating outside Nigeria.

You didn't care to know how long it took him to save up that amount though. He's 36. He's been working since dropped out of school probably 16 years ago (assuming be was 20 in his second year). The question is, is 7m savings in a period of 16 years enough to make one abandon any plan of moving out of the country?

Nobody knows how he made the money. Nobody knows how long it took him to make it. That said, y'all shouldn't then conclude that he should continue the business. The two bolded factors above should be considered before suggesting the continuation of business with regards to his age.

Yes, I concur with your opinion that money should be made but I think y'all should stop pushing family must be raised issue on him. Making family is not the ultimate goal in life but if anyone's to go into marriage he/she should have steady and reliable source of income to take care of a family. Nigeria current state of economy should be considered here.

The OP is interested more in education which I surely support also. Even if it's ND or HND it's something. Along the way he can decide to marry but he shouldn't leave one for another.

NB : Y'all saying he should marry now and leave education will still end up telling him in the future that he should not worry about education again as he's getting old and he should focus on his kids

I strongly support anyone that's willing to leave this country for a better life. Gooday!

CANADA BUT YOUR MONEY IS TOO SMALL AND WONT GET YOU INTO THEIR SCHOOLS ALSO BEFORE THEY GIVE YOU A STUDY VISA YOU HAVE TO PROVE TO THEM THAT YOU HAVE STRONG TIES IN NIGERIA AND AFTER YOUR STUDY YOU WOULD BE COMING BACK HOME IF NOT YOU WOULD ALWAYS BE DENIED A STUDY VISA EVEN IF YOU GET ADMISSION

Just follow your mind because you might get confused with all the responses here. By the way, make sure you are healthy and free from any Ailment and under laying sicknesses that might hinder you in life.

It's not true I know some married people who are in school today and they are doing fine, well it's left for him to decide but for me let him at least get a side work over there abroad while studying he can be working also, he should include that in his plan

I already said it there the part you said if he eventually gets married we will still advise him to raise his kids and abandon education I said its not true because I know many married people in the university today studying

Stop seeking advice from nairaland people wey never leave their state ..

900warriorz:
Hmmmm...my brother, at the end of the day, it is all about making money and giving yourself the kind of life no one can ever give you. If na business you dey do and it is bringing you solid money, continue your business and enroll in a private university here.

E go shock you say your sponsors will leave you halfway when they see the bills...plus, I wont advise you to spend your hard earned money trying to get a degree you'd still be using to job hunt at 36.

Or better still, give me the money make I help you invest am

Was kind of investment will you use 7m for and can you pay back with interest

Kay100:


You've a point but why was ur friend deported?
And do u live in Germany?

Not currently. I was staying in Germany when the issue of my friend happened.

He was deported for financial reasons. He called me several times B4 the issue got out of hand to help him but i didn't have much and my uncle who could help him refuse to even listen to me because he is so used to cases like that.

I don't want to speak bad of my friend b/c he is no longer alive with us. But the annoying part was that b/4 everything he told me about his plan to go UK for schooling with the hope of finding other stuffs to do even if it is playing football (he was a very good baller). I told him it was a bad idea because then he was already in the university about finishing 100L. Long story short..he later found someone who lead him astray with false promises and poor financial calculation. He was in Scotland for a little over a year and couldn't bear the financial expenses anymore...that was when he started calling me. Thankfully with support from the family back home..he was safely back in Nigeria. He told me he wasted a roughly 10m.

Why this thread annoyed me is that while in Germany, a lot of Nigerian folks there were making more money from Nigeria than Nigerians living in Nigeria. In fact, my uncle main income comes from Nigeria. U have a lot of land...very cheap in rural areas. A simple well-laid investment could turn your life around. Yet u see people with 10-20m running abroad to go and invest...tell me, is that not foolishness?. Well enough said sha...but I wish Nigerians could wise up.

ok
