ambr055i: OP keep saving and give yourself another year or two. Learn to manage your finances better and don't invest what you can't afford to lose on a high risk investment. Keep working on that PhD program, try US and Canada, you may be lucky to get a scholarship. Maybe you will also get a job and better medical care for the condition when you travel. Also, start applying to jobs abroad with sponsorships. There are stories of people traveling everyday with work visa, many opportunities are abroad, for example, the truck drivers in the UK due to the fuel shortage. |

ambr055i: If you can endure, please the third option is best... It might not be the US, Canada is also there for scholarship... Nigeria is not the present place to invest, I won't lie to you, except you are a millionaire 1 Like |

Continue with your current job ,rent small apartment that won't let use almost all your salary for house rent, continue with your savings until u find legit business or buy land. U know u are not getting Younger anymore ,even if your uncle didn't trouble his wife or somebody close him will surely come with it as embarrassment somebody. If wish to go to abroad and study further, it's a good idea, but remember no good easy pay job in Nigeria now, unless you have a good connection, I mean networks ... So the decision is urs |

ambr055i: Oga leave no lady matter out o If your uncle is not screaming stay there and get something worth it. You can think of a lady when you are okay with your current situation (income and current job) then na marriage you want, then move out and get a apartment but make sure your lady is working and truly loves you o I cannot come and be reading another long thread here If you have the means, go for your PHD and get that big score. |

Stay back in your uncle's house, give it 1-2 more years there. While at that, get the tech skills, find way leave the country. Don't leave the job yet, unless you're staying back in Nigeria, yet startup the business you want to do |

ambr055i:Bro, while working on your plan, open a domiciliary account. Convert your 900k savings to dollars and make a deposit. Truth is, dollar won't decline below the current exchange rate but there's a high probability it will keep rising. If it does go up, you are going to make much more than the 900k and if it doesn't, you have absolutely nothing to lose. Its risky to keep saving in naira considering the unpredictable and unstable nature of the country's economy. 1 Like |

Son, I have few pieces of advice for you, 1. PhD in the US with the sum you have saved times two won't get you anywhere. Factor school fees, visa, and cash you suppose to have at hand. Do you have anyone to support you? 2. Don't trivialize the accommodation you enjoy from your uncle for a relationship till you are ready financially. You are old enough to go into a relationship - your uncle and his household know this. Go about your relationship with wisdom, moderation, decency, and decorum. Let the lady know you are starting low, share your plans about the future with her. If she loves you, she would stick with you. Any lady that leaves you because you are staying with your uncle at the moment even after you have given her an insight about your plans for the future is never meant to be with you. 3. If you are business inclined you can give it a shot while retaining your teaching job till you get a better offer. 4. Learning technological skills as you mentioned is equally good for a side hustle. You can work even from the comfort of your home. When things gets better tomorrow you can leave and marry. 3 Likes |

ambr055i: Bro, please go for PHD.... please do what you can to get admission and funding. Don’t relent. I repeat, Don’t relent! Nigeria is not an easy place for a startup company. Business environment is very unfriendly. With recent increase in Customs duty, Forex rate, Freight charges to Nigeria, High inflation looming. Go for PHD PS: Avoid marriage for now till you achieve the dream. |
Re: URGENT - In State Of Delimma by Gerrard59(m): 2:15pm On Oct 06, 2021 |
VillageHead: No school in the US admits someone into a PhD program without funding the person. OP will not pay tuition but will be paid a stipend (fellowships, teaching assistantships or research assistantships). OP can even marry and take his wife along to the US. Again, I reiterate, he won't pay a Kobo or cent as a PhD student in the US. 2 Likes |

ambr055i:Baba, remain with your uncle and save more money. Buy a land and start building. Or, you can remain with your uncle and invest part of your savings into a side hustle. You can look for what's trending in shoes or watches or computers, power banks etc, buy a few and advertise them real good online. It could be excotic dishes and chinawares. You may not stock up these, but you could have a direct contact that can ship within few days of your order. After these, you can consider getting your own place and marrying your hearthrob, assuming you didn't build your own house already. |

owagbeba: That's how they perpetuate themselves in multidimensional poverty. If young and ambitious Southern Nigerians know what's coming in the next few years, they will find every means to flee Nigeria. Let alone someone who is working on being admitted into a PhD program. A man close to 40 years in the world's poverty capital earning $200 monthly (inflation and devaluation) is thinking of marriage?! God! Why are some people so effortlessly stup!d?! 4 Likes |
