I am leaving Nigeria.

My children cannot wait to join their mummy after almost 2 years.

I cannot leave my family in Australia and stay back in Nigeria. No way.

Currently learning some skills.

Obierika:


I wish you best of luck!

@ poster .. Don't abandon your good life at 48 to Australia.
Shuttle between Australia and Lagos
Don't ever sell your house or investment to relocate at this age .. it is like committing suicide

Australia employers pays superannuation 11% per your base income. You can't access that money till you are 65 years, they want to pass a law to move to 70 years.

To live a comfortable life ( not luxury life) in Australia in Perth, you need $5000 monthly to pay mortgage and other bills. A gross salary of $180k Australia is $10,340 monthly.. only 10% of Australia professional working class earn that much.

$ A 200k - $ A 250k gross annual only 5% of professional work force earn that ..above $A250k only 1% of the work force earn that.

Tax bracket change to 45% above $A180k

Median house price for 4 bedroom house is A$650k now to purchase mortgage loan .. you deposit 20% to avoid LMI

So look at your future and think about retirement plans .. your kids have the time but not you

By 50 years of age - Nigerian with dual citizens in Australia / Canada /America should be planning of retirement ...go enjoy life with fresh palm wine, correct ponded yam in mortal -- with your childhood friends back at home in your palace ( a king in your domain) .. otherwise setting up yourself to work like clock forever

Oga hear me very well, Iam a doctor and willing to do that.
Just go and do not have any hesitation.
Once u can drive well , go learn how to drive trucks , believe you me, you will make more money than your wife. Australia is a low taxed county, and people that do such aforementioned works make good cash. I have many friends over there encouraging me to come around, I was asked to do same so I can be working while preparing for AMC, then go back into the health sector. For the sake of your children and your sanity go make money and return to invest. Your children will have topnotch education and exposure, it will be easier to migrate to other climes of your choice and usually withing 4 yrs or so you people will be citizen. Now that our currency is messed up, working abroad and investing back home is the best company any one can establish,just have a trust worth person back home.

Omo at 48 with lucrative job you won leave am go start afresh for foreign land... in 12 years time you'll be 60 years as a migrant with that age there's little you can do! You should be working towards retirement and not for employment. He sure for me say when you hit 60 years for abroad niger go dey hungry you na that time you go dey see life from another angle.

The lucrative job you think I have is not secured.

Our warehouse manager who was employed last year was summarily dismissed in July this year for just a simple mistake of double delivery to a customer.

We know what obtains bro.

In any case, I'm not going to Australia to start looking for papers. The papers that permits my legal stay are there.

In Australia, 60 year old are still there working.

I have seen a bank manage loss his job in Nigeria and became a taxi driver. So its not easy even in Nigeria.

My wife who has been in Au for the past two years told me that Australia is 100% better than Nigeria.

Deprofessional:


This is what most people fail to understand.

aysnoopy:


Village people are whispering to you not to go. This I've seen

juman:


You are right.
He should not throw away his grace, success and happiness to embrace defeat, failure and sadness.

Over a million naira job is big job most people in abroad would jump onto to grab if they have the chance.

This is my story. Please advice.

I sent my wife to Australia in 2021 on student visa.

She has invited us, myself and our children aged 12 and 9 and our visa is out. I have also paid like 6 months fees for my children school which was a requirement for the visa.

Owing to her performance at her work place, the company she works for has promised to sponsor for PR. Infact, the process just began and we are sure of having the PR.

I am currently 48 and won't be able to support my family working in Nigeria. Wify has encouraged me that we will be fine that abroad is meant for 2 people.

My only constraint is my age, hence my question. If you are in my shoe, will you travel?

By the way, I work for a private firm here in Nigeria and you know what it is working for a family company.

hope u took our advice oh. How is Australia

God bless you sir
The comments are shocking and horrendous.
A 48 year old man should abandon certainty to Jump to an uncertain life. It’s like committing sucide.
An Accountant at 48 should go and learn forklifting or settle for care jobs.
The absolute state of these comments. Do they really think life anywhere is really that easy?
We are too gullible in this country.
The man will regret making such move for the rest of his life.
