Hi guys,




After some thoughts, i realized this wasn`t a really smart move cos i have a good job here in Nigeria where I'm paid above 200k each month, This will increase to above 300k in the next 2months still with some bonuses.

Is there any sense in dropping all these to go to a place of uncertainty and start leaving from hand to mouth cos i`d be struggling to pay my debt and tuition??



No one knows tomorrow but bet me, you MAY regret that decision in few years time. I hope Nigeria gets better. Best of luck bro

I left Nigeria in 2015 and it was the best decision I've ever made in my life. The peace of mind, clean environment, water, food, health care, being surrounded by civilized people, no generator noise and a better future for your unborn kids. Did I forget to mention that this is my 7th year here and I've not taken any malaria pill! grin Like the posters above advised, that your 300k salary is nothing compared to the peace of mind you'll get abroad. And what is more, you'll earn more if not more than double what you currently earn . So bro, if you're not an educated norther/Muslim find a way and leave that God forsaken country as soon as possible. Do not procrastinate!

Please Bossman
I have been trying to reach you.
Tried to mail you via Nairaland.
I'm in the US and would love to discuss certain thing with you as regards Mexico.
Mail me on Gadgetmobil@gmail.com

Quote me here as well

Hi guys,

I was planning to travel out to UK, Germany or any other stable European country for my Master`s by September of this year of which i will be able to raise 2million from my pocket and then borrow about 2/3million from a person i know for some fees then get there are do part times jobs to complete my tuition fee.

After some thoughts, i realized this wasn`t a really smart move cos i have a good job here in Nigeria where I'm paid above 200k each month, This will increase to above 300k in the next 2months still with some bonuses.

Is there any sense in dropping all these to go to a place of uncertainty and start leaving from hand to mouth cos i`d be struggling to pay my debt and tuition??

One of the driving forces towards wanting to travel out is the fear of 2023 elections and the fact that many of my friends we finished together are all travelling out. Yeah, i know the second reason doesn't make sense, but that`s just me being honest here.

My plan now is to keep working here in Nigeria probably for about 3/4 years more, live the baby boy life, develop relevant skills then get a job over there or go for an MBA. 3/4 years from now i should have saved more than 2million for travel.

Also note i will be turning 26 towards the end of the year, so i think there`s still a bit of time on my end.

I need advice from you guys, is this a sensible idea putting into consideration things that could go wrong pre/post elections, the current standard of living in Lagos and the current and future exchange rates.

I have noticed the crazy rush to leave the country among we youths but i have also noticed that those that have good paying jobs in multinationals, fintechs, banks, govt etc are not bothered about leaving the country. Also noticed most of my friends who left were all earning less than 100k in salary.

Please tell me what y`all think??

Mods in case reactions are much, abeg push to Front page

Even though this was long closed and i made my decision already, i must say your response is quite annoying. Am i suppose to compare a Uk salary to my naija salary?? Na naira you dey spend over there?? What`s my business with what you earn over there?? Is it possible for me to work two jobs in Nigeria?? Did i say i was comparing salary with other people or that i was evening earning a large salary??

Abeg shift with your nonsense answer.

Hmmm
Don't borrow money to travel that's not a smart move at all. Just save up more.
And why don't you look toward Canada and Australia? A whole lot of money tho' smiley but the best country i can think of smiley

My advise for you is to come to scotland UK. The tution fees here is cheap compared to other parts of the uk. do your findings on google. There is west scotland university, university of glasgow and their are unversities in the capital of scotland edingburn. I am telling you this because i live there. I moved from england to live up north in scotland. i have a 25 year daughter who is a graduate in england . The fees down south is very expensive, so come up north. Its not easy doing it alone i think you need help if you have brothers and uncles to help. The door is open now. They give student visas to study in scotland. FOR MORE INFO ealli45@yahoo.co.uk.
True and insightful.
