1stGenAmerican:But bro those complaining in America about the bills and rent aren’t lying , some people have it rough here living paycheck to paycheck with no savings , Op just know that abroad is lonely .. America na to just work and pay bills , no life just work work work .. the good thing is that you get to enjoy the basic amenities of life , things we call luxury in Nigeria are basic things .. I will advise you to keep your job in Nigeria ,650k a month is not bad 3 Likes |

1stGenAmerican:You are CORRECT. I prefer having a far better longer life filled with joy alongside my kids than having enormous wealth piled in my account in a community sitting on a keg of Gunpowder with my kids being accompanied everywhere by security operatives, to purchase things from the market, churches & schools. With widespread darkness, endemic wickedness, Anger, Frustration and daily burials to attend. There can be a Rich life without peace of mind! So, where's the fun in this context? Again, NIGERIANS complain about BILLS because this is something they were never used to. Most Nigerians are debtors. Some intentionally owe even when they have got the money to pay. It's in our Genes. So, when these LOTS travel to a saner clime, they start complaining & having issues paying for what they have consumed. Rarely do you see whites earning same salaries complaining about Bills. They grew up as creditors, while most Nigerians grew up as debtors. 18 Likes 3 Shares |

Wotoporiously speaking I would not advice you to stay or move but I would rather let you know this, People leave their country and go overseas for various and different reasons and I believe you must have reasons for wanting to leave, if not please I would advice you find one. For someone that has a job and family a lot should come into play before you make a move of such magnitude. Try to consider your options and make sure you have a good reason and purpose for moving if eventually you make up your mind to move. See make I tell you most people wey you dey see wey dey go overseas go dey loseguard na because say them move without knowing what they're going there for, most of them na make I just go after all people wey dey go nkor, Op I don travel well well o and I don see things and things. Speaking from experience most of the time wey I don travel I dey carry all my plans for head, I dey even put Bleep ups as plan for head and 90% of the time it works for me. But we are two different people we might not have the same luck, what works for you might not work for me but if you choose to leave your job and Japa with your family which is a good thing considering the fact that you'll be leaving this shithole to a much saner environment which am not trying to discourage you, make sure say you set your compass well before you tuama and if you choose to stay too nothing still spoil. |

North is killing Christians for what they stupidly call blasphemy Killings of Northerners is on the rise in the East Buhari is getting clueless by the day This country is tilting towards anarchy. For me, japa remains the way out. Your 600k monthly means nothing under Buhari and his men. He who has ears, let him hear word. 3 Likes |

HOW TO FIND A SCHOLARSHIP QUICKLY The biggest benefit of scholarships in the world is that it helps students focus on their actual goals. Financial constraints can have a toll on the student's ability to learn and perform. The lack of financial assistance prevents students from getting access to adequate educational infrastructure. Also, it affects students mentally as they have to bear the pressure of being unable to work for their education and career goals. Scholarship programmes reduce the financial burden of the students and their parents. Eventually. It leads to less tension and provides ample time to focus on career goals.

In my opinion, the reason why most People abroad don't come back is because they know if they do , they will be seen as failure .. some of them can't handle the shame and disgrace. Lets take those visiting village as an example , Once you travel back to your Village with just loaf of bread and your bag , You will be seeing as failure. how much more those that traveled overseas?. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Hannover: Yes I agree with you and if you read further down the thread, you'd notice this. I just dislike it when people treat the japa movement like a one size fits all situation when it all depends on individual profiles and circumstances. In his case, he should just stay back. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Well, @poster, my situation isn't so much different from urs. I have 3 kids, I was a senior officer at a federal parastatal in Abuja, my wife was building her career at a federal ministry, plus we had a pure water factory too. Meaning we were a bit comfortable. However, I made the move last September to come to the UK for my PhD. I am only able to work part-time and my wife works just about 3 times a week cos of child care. Our rent is 650 pm, gas and electricity about 120, water is on twice a year payment plan and its about 360 pa, home broadband about 30 pm, council tax is around 120 but we currently have a discount...feeding and entertainment had never been more than 800 pm. Kids are doing very well in school and we save way more than our income back home in nigeria. I will advise you from personal experience to reconsider you decision not to make the move. You know your situation and you know what suits you most. My motivation for coming here was never money, but a good and secure life for my kids. Think about it and ďo what you feel is best for you. I personally do not regret making the move. 26 Likes 2 Shares |

kode12: After tax you could still earn that. The big question like you pointed out how much is the rent? If you have mortgage even if you pay 800k naira a month towards it then it your money nothing really lost. Unlike me wey no get mortgage but my rent for two bedroom is 900 euros plus 250 euros for electricity since wey Russia and started their madness then come add water and Internet ontop. Na company dey pay for tfee but after every expense I still then get a little over a million naira monthly unless na the month wey village people line up. In my opinion if the op wants to move he should look at it from the angle of his children. How will this move favor them 15 years from today are they going to be better off or in your current situation thinking of how to escape abroad like their father planned 15 years ago but couldn't see it through? 4 Likes |

charles009: You will likely not hear what I am about t say elsewhere. But know this, things are about to get so difficult and severe in Europe and America. Reason? Because of this war and they sanctions imposed in themselves and think how much it would be for foreigners? If I'm to advise you, this isn't the time yet. 600k here is huge and if you are smart enough, you can get a done in securing serious investment. |
