The Western world benefits women more,many women in Nigeria are suffering domestic and financial abuse too, if na abroad government will come to their aid. if na you won't you want it Women are also futuristic and calculative, as a man in Nigeria you can die easily or lose your source of income, your wife and kids will become stranded, Husband's family can also send them packing. Women also want the best outcome for their kids most times sometime men leave it to chance and say what will be will be. There are people all around us that have BSC and master's but are unemployed. The children of many fellow immigrants in Canada are outperforming the Canadians in school and they will get scholarships easily . Is that a bad thing to want Women are also used to comfort, as a man if I was putting on Gen and AC overnight and things become hard i can easily adjust, but most women cannot easily adjust o and the way the economy is, there is fear and uncertainty. No blame them too much. pele 12 Likes |

It's not a gender thing. An average sane human living in Nigeria now has many reasons to consider travelling abroad. It's not all about money, or how much you're making now. You have to look at the future. What kind of life do you want? What kind of life do you want for your children? If you don't have a business (or assets) big enough for them to inherit to have better life than you did, the alternative is to root them in an environment where they can reach their potentials with less suffering, if you can afford it. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Icon2007: First, that man is you. Nothing like "my friend" here. Two, he is above 40 years, and unless he relocates via work visa through a standard recruitment process into a reputable firm abroad, he should remain in Nigeria. Do a vasectomy, plan your children's career path now, seek other avenues to generate wealth and maintain a healthy lifestyle. P.S. He should not move via student visa o 1 Like 2 Shares |

I see no issue with a woman being obsessed about wanting to go abroad ... I mean, even men too can sometime be obsessed on matters like this ... My only issue here is that most of these women who want to go abroad are too bro.ke to even afford their transportation talk more of having enough money to enjoy themselves whilst they're there ... And so they start acting like demon possessed fellows and start disturbing the peace of every innocent man around them ... That's the issue! ... Women like that, regardless of their place in my life disgust me ... As for that woman in the OP's description, if I were in the OP's shoes, I would tell her that she's free to go whenever she raises the money herself ... If she can't, then she better sh.ut her gutters & allow things go back to the way the were ... 2 Likes 1 Share |

60- 70 percent of family relocation are orchestrated by women. The woman may or may not apply pressure,some subtle pressure,some suggestions but most times they persuade husbands by attributing every challenges faced to them living in Nigeria. Lol if your wife start telling you the reason kids are falling sick is because "they play too much or mosquito Is biting them in Nigeria" just know you are in for a long thing. Why? Women like better things for themselves and family, most are easily influenced by peer pressure, some can't wait to show you shege banza you make them go through in Nigeria, some don't believe Nigeria can ever be better even though they spend hours praying in churches for Nigeria. I can boldly say majority wants to go because others are going. I know of a single mother of two who has tried several times and she's still trying. She just wants to leave Nigeria any which way. The annoying part is she doesn't have the funds I told her to try a neighbor country sha because I don't understand the obsession. What I really find disturbing is how pushy yet not financially supportive these women can be. You want a man to leave his lucrative job/work in Nigeria, spend all his life savings on travelling to go and start all over in a foreign land and you don't have or don't want to support him or even plans to lessen his burden over there. Ah! It is well. Women can be very bossy and pushy. My advice to Op's friend is to scribble down terms and conditions, seat his wife down and demand what will be her input in finances and running the family when they go there. Will she be ready to split bills and take care of the family while he study. The percentage should be 70-30 with the man taking 30% . If she's good with and signed the agreement then maybe he can CONSIDER her request. Make she no go kill somebody's son. 4 Likes |

Persephone1:Do you think any such agreement is valid? Plenty agreement and promises on the part of a woman. From experience I think only a man can genuinely make a promise and commitment and mean it in family situation. 1 Like |

gbadexy:Lol... You think any woman will agree to that? Is just a strategy to get her off your neck. Plus consider is in bolded which means you can deny after consideration or accept. Point is no one should be pressured into what he or she is not capable of. |

Icon2007: The issue is not "traveling abroad". The issue is women are easily influenced by trends or what their neighbors are doing. If a woman's peer buys a particular kind of fashion ware, many women become restless trying to do the same and measure up. 2 Likes |

Persephone1: Very intelligent and realistic write-up especially the end. It's paramount the man hammers on the fact that traditional roles do not exist in abroad and she would pull her weight in finances same way the man would do too when it comes to home chores and child care. |

Gerrard59:Benefits in Nigeria Promotion opportunities/ “responsible man”- there are certain managerial role in Nigeria they give to only married people in some companies. A single guy can elope with money or company assets easily in a day, but with family he go hard. Home manager- shopping, chores, food, taking care of kids+ plus school runs. Advisor- financial or investment advisor. Sometimes some women help in acquiring assets as a family. Even tho many married women buy assets secretly. Sex- 😆 I no go lie I struggled to list these things 😭. Be like say this thing is a bad deal. And is dictated by culture and religion lol |

Most women seem to be the ones pushing for the relocation majorly for prestige and punishment on their husbands. Then the kids and "better life. " Personally, I feel whoever pushes for it should be able to foot half of the relocation expenses. It makes no sense you insist your spouse sell their assets you did not help too much In building to finance your japa dream. Starting school at over 40 is not easy for most. Anyone who gives you attitude for not funding theor Japa moves is beyond silly. Remember, retirement looms ahead of you ooo. Mat we find happiness, wealth and joy wherever we find ourselves is the prayer. |
Re: Why Are Women So Obsessed With Travelling Abroad by Onlinebiz247: 5:38pm On Nov 27, 2023 |
The previous statement is true: in many cases, it's women who primarily advocate for this Japa. For instance, if you're intending to travel abroad and you possess the means to take your entire family along, but you're aware that your wife tends to be lazy, avoiding exertion for even minor tasks, what options do you think one has? Especially when there are numerous expenses to cover there. |
