If you like yourself you better invest two good years make you go school and get at least an associate degree in Information Technology with good IT certifications.

Why you go leave Nigeria come dey drive forklift for North America. When you can start earning at least 75'000 dollars per annum working from the comfort of your bedroom as an IT proffessional.

Do not limit yourself.
You don dey make the money wey you mention now?

@OP forklift job na yeye warehouse work. Better go find something better to do before you waste your formative years abroad. For those talking about IT jobs it’s not easy as it seem. It takes a lot of dedication with a sprinkle of depression, disappointment and failure before eventual success. I am speaking from experience; and from a person that have been educated and working as a Security Engineer in the US for over 7 years. If you can give it a try OP it is worth it if not there are many other things you can do that will fetch you atleast $75000 per annum without formal education but just training.

My oga, not everyone enjoys working from home or office work, as a trade person, you can earn up to 75k USD annually or more, there is also career progression, from apprentices to professional to foreman to supervisor( up to 200k usd), and also you can start ur own side business by working on ur own projects.
You can be a truck driver, progressing to being a owner driver operator, have ur own company fleets of trucks. If you are lucky to get into the Union, you will be making cool cash at prevailing wages, and union benefits.

my advice, just do whatever you are comfortable with, and that’s gives you happiness.
Iree oo

These skills are available in Nigeria, but many of you graduates despise them, even look down on people who do them.

Now you spent millions of naira to acquire foreign degrees only to be a carpenter apprentice in Canada?

Another lady who worked at the CBN now works in some barn in Europe too.

My honest opinion, you guys are idiots.

otipoju, its not everyone that can grab IT easily. Some, it can take years before they even understand Jack. My advise is, learn what you love to do and can understand easily so you can be a pro.

Almost anyone who can operate a phone can learn some IT and make money from there. IT is one of the shortest routes to making it out there. Again with IT, it is possible to do remote jobs unlike some other work that might require the worker's physical presence. People need to understand that some areas of ICT are easier to understand than others. For example, there are data analysts who aren't programmers but they make their own bucks too using tools like PowerBI and excel; although their growth may be limited. And there are UI/UX designers who make some tidy sums.

Forklift takes less than 30 minutes to learn and you get a forklift driver license. Its all about up down and right and left levers .

All he will be doing is lifting products within a warehouse.

I agree with you sir and I also share in your line of thought

My arguement is that he should develope himself along the engineering line and not jump out to IT where he may not do well

Re: I Regret Coming To Canada by viodemus: 8:10pm On Dec 07, 2022
Then adjust now if you can, no time for past tense.

japa-ree sometimes be expecting bed of Rose's just like the japa-wish back home.


To be honest, abroad is not a bed of Rose's even for the citizens in those places. Just you wake up in Nigeria tomorrow, with good roads when you look outside, bridges everywhere, closed gutters, 24/7 light, respectable ekelebe, etc, that don't void the fact that you will still have empty pocket or lack of skills.

Healthcare, unemployment, and retirement, still require paperwork for legal residents. if you miss one day at work, it can affect your bills because even sick days have limits. And your bill payments can only adjust with limits, and that is sometimes.


Knowing all of this, find something you want to do and study hard for it, especially if you have family support ( accommodations, food, and legal paperwork).


I need to find time to write some little epistles of surviving abroad. It seems to be hard for many people. I thank God,, for the hard lessons and the successful results that I have experienced.

Use your phone to do small research and stop limiting yourself.

Life is not meant to be hard if you turn yourself to a knowledge worker.

No be everybody wey dey US dey wash plate for a living. Young Nigerians are doing extremely well working legit jobs.

A travel nurse earns 100$ per hour current rate and works 50-60 hours a week on average.

Interesting, seriously, they are.You can only get such opportunity to work with their airlines if you're a citizen, or a foreigner with working permit. They have task force moving from one company to the other checking illegal workers, those without papers. Construction works, security, restaurant, super markets and farms work can be manoeuvre. You can easily work and be kept secrecy while working in these mentioned areas. Should you go to airport, its as if you're reporting yourself. There's no place like home,my brother.If you're caught employing foreigners as a company owner,you will pay through your nose.
What about those repair electronics

A carpenter abroad does not earn as much as an equivalent skilled analyst or tech worker abroad. I have lived in Europe in the past to know this. Intellectual work always pays more than brawn work

Nigerians, make una go learn skills o. "I am a graduate" without skills is NOTHING! Ladies, you can also learn skills like Mechanic, Hair Braiding, etc Life doesn't wait for anyone o. I see women doing construction work here.

We have been deceived for so long, thinking we must be Doctors, Lawyer etc

I have a friend here who is/was a Lawyer in Naija, na where dem dey do Ice Cream the guy dey work for here & walaitalai, he is really doing well. I also know someone who was a Journalist in Naija, he is a farm worker here & he is happy.

That is also a very good one. An Auto mechanic is a knowledge worker but still requires some hard work and grime. I know of a very good Nigerian electrician who retrained and got licensed in US..earns roughly 80 thousand dollars a year. Even a Plumber or HVAC technician will earn decent.

But with IT jobs we are talking of working from the confines of your bedroom and making really good money.

Not all of IT is writing codes.

I work in heavy IT environment and can't write a single line of code nor even have any IT certifications. But i am a highly skilled people leader and I just provide leadership and guidance from my closet.
