hello Nairalands, am considering travelling to UK for 2 years masters degree after which my family will join me. I am married with 5 kids and my wife works with a federal agency. recently a friend told me that i need about 25m to 30m to fully settle with my family in UK.

am thinking of selling my property in lagos to raise the money but does it worth?

First of all, you don't need 25m to settle in the UK. You don't even need half of that.

Second of all, you're married with 5 kids.

Best advice you can get is; Don't do it. Don't even consider going to the UK.

you are already pinned down with 5 kids, so going to UK now is not your own.

5 kids? it's well

Hahaha

Wetin person no go see for nairaland.com

perfect advice...hope he will listen

Why sell an asset to travel? if you have to sell an asset to travel, then you need to re think coupled with you having 5 kids? Never sell an asset to travel, not advisory. Getting a job asap in the UK depends on your skills(medical or IT) due to the covid-19 pandemic. Best of luck.

Don't do it.

why the UK? u should have chosen other European countries like Netherlands or Russia,demark there are lot of opportunities in those countries than the UK or better still just go to Canada or Australia... UK doesn't accept anyhow person oo and it's hard to enter uk, I even heard UK is not allowing anyone into their country at this covid moment

it's u that should check.. UK is not allowing travelers from other countries atm u can leave the UK but u can't enter unless u are a citizen

if you finish your master in uk you are require to return to your country and uk aint worth but dont sell your property cause you will have something to fall back on maybe if you get to your new country i recommend canada or australia you can sell your house to start business that is if you are living comfortable abroad

Please do it, you have 5 kids think of their future uk has opportunities, a friend mine went for Msc in adult Nursing she didn't do Nursing in her undergraduate do u know how much she earns, give yours 2years in UK,u will make that money back.travelling abroad is not a loss right now unless u are a lazy person. System works over there.

Go to Canada or Australia. Forget UK.

That's how y'all are blabbing my friend this, my friend that.... Have you lived outside the country before?

Op, take it from someone who has studied, lived and worked in Europe. Don't try it. There is a difference between visiting the UK and actually living there. With 5 kids, don't try it. Your quality of life will reduce by a lot.

Don't mind those, I know this, I know that crew ....

No first hand experience

Well, relocating abroad with your entire family permanently, is not a bad idea.

But selling your house shouldn't be an option for now.


Canada or Australia should be your best option.

10m - 15m naira can take care of that.

Try any of the PR migration programs offered by the countries mentioned above.


cheers!

Take another year to plan well without selling your house. It is after relocating you'll understand having a home in Nigeria is vital. But if you still want to sell, just let me know the location (Lagos, Abuja, Ogun near Lagos and Ibadan interest me). And we can talk. God bless!

Please, don't do it.

If you dare sell your home to move to the UK to start a life of uncertainty, you will regret it. So many Africans are suffering abroad including some who already have their papers like permanent residency. The western world is economically in bad shape right now due to the impact of covid-19.

Even after you get that masters degree, then what? Nowadays, a university degree does not guarantee a job. You have a whooping 5 kids and a wife. You better stay in Nigeria and take care of your family responsibilities. Who masters degree help?

First of, I'm more than successful than you or your lineage.

Secondly, perhaps as a UK resident, you can tell us how he'll survive as a married man with 5 kids in the UK in relation to his quality of life in Nigeria with a 25m property . Let everyone learn from your tips
