I believe that age is not a barrier. I’ve seen a candidate of about 50 years on one of these threads. You have a chance

Had the visa done in 2 days for just 160k, but i swear down, i no happy for my mind ooooo, na so we be for our house, if something no go work out, our mind go dey tell us not to do it. But because my mama no like the way i dey sidon for house dey do nothing, she had to push me to pay for the ticket...

Got to the hotel or shey na hostel, 200dhs per night for two people. For people wey no sabi the exchange rate, that 20k naira per night. 1dirham is 100naira!!!

DexterousOne:
He may not be lying tho


There is someone I know In this Lagos here that makes $4500 average per month from online ventures and vlogging
Tho he has been in the game for some years

Just saying

I wish I could do these things
But I don't have the patience to learn these IT / computer stuff

As for you @OP

It all depends on what you want in life.

You are the political climate in Nigeria
You see that we the educated and exposed class are like an oasis surrounded by so much foolishness and many fools

You see how Nigeria is structured such that very very worst of us get to the top and hold positions
You see how the almajiri voter, the militant, the Ipobs and t h3 agbero in the SW determine the political future of Nigeria

If you are fine with all these
And can insulate yourself from the foolishness that Nigeria is immersed in
You can build your life there

But if you want to give your kids options (tho you may not make plenty plenty money abroad sha ) You can try elsewhere

Leave him alone.

Na lie na lie. No matter what you say, he would never believe.

Bros
Stay and expand your business... educate yourself more in your biz and invest in tech ventures.
Seek more alliance, get an office not a shop and grow from there.
Bro I envy you cos if I am cashing out like you, the sky is the starting point in this Naija.


Peace bro boss

I'm already in the tech space but am limited with payment as being a Nigerian.

If I relocate I would be able to have access to payment gateways (paypal, stripe e.t.c.) that would help me expand my business.

That's one of the reasons I want to try this.

Evans211:
I will suggest you try Canada. There Is a school a friend got admitted to for masters. After degree, you can work for 3 years and apply for citizenship. Will help ask him for the school name.; can’t remember.

This would be helpful.

I would be expecting it.

Thanks a lot.

NELSONKATOTO:
lets wait for the guru people to come

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

I had to create a brand new account to seek your advice regarding travelling for greener pasture abroad.

I'm 32 years old with wife and kids. I have online businesses that make some money monthly.

I'm looking for advise on what to do.

Should I optin to study abroad and eventually move my family or stay in Nigeria and try to invest my money into other business.

If study, which schools is good for people from Nigeria to study in Australia, or USA or Canada.

Please advise me.

Thank you in advance.

Hey guys,

I was in UAE 5 years ago on a month visa.

I notice some Nigerians with shops in ajman selling nigerian foods.

How can I get visa to set up such business?

Please, guide me.

Thank you.
