Good day Nairalanders. Pls I need some mature advice because I’ve been in a dilemma for a long time now concerning relocating abroad or staying back in Nigeria.
First of all I’m not a japa advocate. I believe if you’re doing well in Nigeria then there’s no point relocating abroad but I feel there’s so much uncertainty and I don’t know what the future holds for me in this country.

Now I’m a married man of 30 years. I will turn 31 by this September. We have no child yet but wife is preg now. I have a B.Eng in petroleum Engineering but have never worked in my life. My current business is crypto trading which I have been doing for years now. During the 2021 crypto bull run I made lot of money and acquired some properties that’s currently valued atleast 60-70m naira in total. bought my car same year and got married same year to my long time Gf, settled some family members etc . I don’t have any other investments or business aside my properties and crypto portfolio because crypto trading has taken all my time and I won’t complain because so far it has been good. Making money in dollars while in Nigeria is bliss. Even though we have been in bear season since 2022, I still make some money every now and then that’s sustainable for now until we hit another bull run which is likely to happen from next year 2024.

My fear lies here, on the long run crypto trading is not sustainable. If not for 2021 bull run I don’t think I would be in this position and even the projected bull run next year is not 100% certain

I plan on learning a programming skill which is very difficult, I tried learning it late last year but stopped along the line because it was distracting me from trading and missing some opportunities in crypto because making money is most important. Coding would probably take me a few years before I start earning even though it is sustainable long term but crypto trading can be life changing but not sustainable long term . It’s more like a gamble most times.

My plan A, is to gather enough money from now till 2025 which is the duration of the projected bull run if it happens and start investing in real estate development, Like building and selling and other businesses too but I don’t know how feasible that is in our present day Nigeria and if I don’t make my target amount, I might have to start with the available resources present.

plan B, gather some money, learn a skill then relocate to Canada with my family via study route since I don’t have any real work experience aside crypto trading but that would mean me going to study and starting afresh.

For my wife, she also has a degree in Human Resources with just nysc as working experience. She learnt wig making and installation and has been doing her online biz selling wigs etc.

Abroad folks, what are my chances abroad considering my current profile. Is it worth it coming over there to start afresh
And build? I have heard so many things how it’s hard getting a job and you have to rely on survival jobs for the first few years expecially for someone without any work experience.

I really don’t like joining the bandwagon cos everyone seems to be leaving, I love to weigh my options and hate taking unnecessary risk that might lead to regrets, at the same time don’t want to regret not leaving since I’m still young and have the opportunity that’s why I’m here asking these questions to learn from experienced and matured family men home and abroad the action they would take. We learn everyday,

For my unborn kids, if everything checks out, my plan is to give birth to them in either Canada or US for the passport and raise them in Nigeria and when they are grown, send them to study there and that is only if I’m not relocating. And if I’m relocating, what are the in-demand skills and professions I have to take since it’s clear I might be going to school because I hate survival jobs. What is your advice pls.
Mature advice pls. Thank you 🙏
@justwise @Disguy

Your plan A is the parfect plan, you know why, just take a look at developed countries, people hardly have all it takes to build their own houses from scratch but they can buy on credit and have it spread over a period of time.
Tinubu believe in such system and the subsidy removal is in supportive of that his believe. Tinubu will do more things to achieve such system where an individual may not have high volume of cash stash in the bank or at home in his name but can access credit easily. So I will advise you buy more lands in strategic place, build the ones your can build because things are going to go up higher and those who already have things like land, houses etc will expand quickly

Revolution2022:
So the IPPIS can be breached?I thought it was the safest payroll system.

The first thing that crossed my mind after reading through few lines

This country na wa o, all of a sudden nobody dey talk say somebody dey wee for body again, nobody dey talk say person dey wear pampers etc again. There is no gain in dirty politics.

Somebody's daughter is about to enter a dangerous zone.

Is it the one in nkwuobi or the one in the market? Make una no near that nkwuobi own o.

From tower to fence, she don dey come down small small. Next boyfriend na bed frame.

That's a growing Crocs Op not an alligator

Maybe we should confirm that by putting your leg in it's mouth.

Freedom2023:
This Shettima guy looks so Scary

Shettima has always being like that just that una no dey observe the guy man. Check his picture with his beautiful wife some years back when they were still young, then you will understand better.

Mahul:
One will wonder why the last administration refused to remove the subsidy, in spite their claimed fight against corruption

Tinubu succeeded because he made the declaration before appointment special advisers. Once special advisers are appointed, oil marketers visit them with sizeable Ghana must go bags and tell them that is just the beginning of more goodies to come then the advisers rather than advise the president in the interest of the masses, they advise the president in their personal interest and those of oil marketers but decorate the advise to look like something in the interest of the masses.
Another saving grace is the fact that the subsidy is not even in the budget, Tinubu would be shooting himself on the foot if he had talked about borrowing to provide for the subsidy.

You dey smoke igbo

jmoore:
Clowns!
Emefiele was following orders of Buhari.
Rejoicing the arrest of Emefiele without arresting Buhari shows how politicians use you to play pingpong

You mean Jonathan should have been behind bars considering that many of those his appointees then did something's wrongly?
If Emefiele is truly a professional in the field and someone told him to do something wrongly, what stops him from dropping his resignation letter?
Una don start this una victim game again.

Monzze:
Kogi should avoid this ODODO by all means
it's just an arrangement of Yahaya Bello to rule the state by proxy and cover up all the Embezzlement and misappropriation that happened in his 8years in government

Na una follow shout Edo no be Lagos that year, how far with Edo now?

PHZADDY1:
Let the impact be seen no be to sign be problem

People like you want to be spoon feed all the time. A door has just been open to every individual including yourself and what you can say is let the impact be seen.
Obviously you didn't understand what has been said, you guys think everything is all about government and your own responsibility is fold your hands waiting to seen the impact.

Parachoko:
The small firms should merge and work together like some of the banks did

Don't mind them, they want to tell us they don't know what to do now but they knew how to bribe custom officer when they want to send our subsidized fuel to Benin republic and other neighbouring countries

dopedan:
I have some bad habits im trying to stop like porn and masturbation, because wen im with a girl I get erect but when its time to put it in it goes flaccid , it’s quite shameful
So i need advice from people who experience this on wat to do to speed up my recovery process and get my morning wood back thanks

Stop those habit , then chew one bitter collar, drink one bottle of stout few minutes to the game
Also avoid jumping from one person to another, most time the problem is fear of what happened one day repeating itself in your head. Unfortunately your gbola respond 98% to what is going on in your head. No matter how hard it stand, if your head say it will not work, it will fall in seconds. So get going with a particular babe and before you know it, you will get back your energy.

Dapson73:
Former Governor Wike is entirely different from the picture you're painting him. He doesn't hide his feelings and his doings.

Na man Wike be. Ajeh!

Wike na man any day any time. Like Tinubu, underate Wike at your own risk.

sonature1:
Nigeria is a sick country!

How can we have border patrol agencies and be subsidizing PMS for all West African countries?

This is enough to retire all customs officers that work along Nigerian borders!

A lot of people are ignorant of what is happening in Nigeria. Do you think retiring all the custom officers at border will solve the problem? No bro, the big guys that call the shots don't stand at the border but their boys do and the boys listen to instructions from above or have themselves to blame for not listening. The best approach is the removal of subsidy while the money is channelled to something profitable to the citizens.

Geniusone:
Please o Nairalanders, is their any town or place in Nigeria that a Nigerian need to obtain the town I.D Card before he or she can be allow to reside?
Their is something going on in Okpoama, Brass LGA of Bayelsa state the home town of TIMIPRE SILVER the formal governor of the state. The strangers in this community are being forced to obtain their community I D card before they can be allow to stay, I think this is intimidation.please what is your view on this matter?
Please mods move it to the appropriate section

There is nothing like intimidation here, I fully support the idea and hope other communities will learn from it.

Greeting style
Ikwerre anu meka!

Dieli!!

This is how an Ikwerre man greets a gathering of other men:

Nderiya mma!

Oyoyo!!

This is how an Ikwerre man greets a gathering of women or an Ikwerre woman greets a gathering of other women:

Oro anu werum o! or Nde wem rishim duru eli!

Owe!!

This is how an Ikwerre woman greets a gathering of men:
When it’s morning you greet by asking; Iwhiala? Answer; Owe

When it’s night you greet by saying; Chibo

At any other time of the day you say either; Iziamu? Answer; Owe.or Nda? Answer; Oburuoma

Thanks very much my good landlord, you are doing well Sir.

budaatum:
I'm certain this is unconstitutional. But we shall indeed see.

Don't worry.

FahBuLous:
OP, you suppose don wise by now..
The little bitch must have confessed that it wasnt you, thats why the matter be like that..
You think say if you been de guilty, them no for come 4 u? Reason abeg.

Is possible she didn't confess but the parents both agreed they were too young to take responsibility for that. If she had confessed as you think, the first person to know would have been her mother, yet the mother didn't respond to the guy's greetings till she passed on, that is to say she believed the guy was responsible.

Humble432:
I knew this girl because her mother and my mother were friends back then. They both had shops in the same market back then thought the shops were not close to each other.

I was in SS3 and a boarding student. I was home for first term holiday & used to help my mother at her shop. This girl sometimes pass through our shop while going to their shop & stops to say hi once in a while. My home town is less than one hour drive from where we lived so my parents usually visit home most weekends for either burial, wedding, church program or for other reasons.

That particular weekend(Saturday) my parents travelled to my home town & I was alone in the shop. My two siblings were in the university and the other ones have finished and were working & living on their own, so I was home alone. The girl was going to their shop & stopped to say hi as usual. We talked for a while & told her my parents travelled home so she said she will come back later. She came back in the afternoon and we talked about many things, from life in school to family issues, I also tried to introduce her to James hardly Chase because I was already reading & enjoying it. Later in the evening she came back while I was closing & helped me to pack the goods and we both went to my house together. While at home we played, kissed, I touched her breasts few times but we DIDN'T HAVE SEX. She didn't even pull her pants and my finger didn't even touch her private part. I walked her to the road & she ran back home. The next day was Sunday and in the evening my parents returned from their journey. The following weekend school resumed & I went back to school.

I was in school & life was normal until one evening I went to the business center to call my mother. I wanted her to bring money for my extra lessons while paying next visit but she told me to come home next day immediately after school so that I can return back to school same day. My school had both DAY STUDENTS & BOARDING STUDENTS, and like 40mins drive from my house. Her voice was a bit harsh & I could sense she was sad.

The next day I went home immediately after dismissal. I met her at the shop & she welcomed me but there was something different about her that day. She bought food for me and immediately after eating she asked me, "what happened between me & Ukamaka"? By then I had forgotten the small fun I had during the holidays. I told her nothing happened then she called my name and asked again, what happened. If my mother call your name in that manner before asking you anything, just tell her the truth because if she finds out you're telling lies,,,,body go tell you. I told her what happened the weekend they travelled home while I was alone. I admitted that we kissed but there was no sex. I saw the way she was looking at me, she believed me BUT NOT 100%. She thought I had sex with the girl maybe I was afraid to admit. She told me the girl was PREGNANT and told her parents I was RESPONSIBLE. At that age I remembered I didn't have sex with her but I was afraid because of the little play we had, I was even confused whether that could result to her being pregnant. My mother was mad at me, she told me none of my siblings ever brought such shame to the family. She gave me money for the extra lesson in school and also small extra cash and I went back to school same evening. I told few friends in school and they laughed at me and called me "Daddy twins". The whole thing affected me psychologically & my studies as well.

During the next holiday I was expecting my parents especially my father to ask me about it but he didn't, neither did any of my siblings. After my WAEC & NECO exams I got back home and one day my Mom started advicing me about life & mentioned that issue again. She told me the girl's father threatened to arrest me back then but because i was still a minor & also in school he didn't. She told me the girl's parents especially the father was very angry. Fear didn't let me ask if my Dad was aware, infact I was thankful my Dad didn't ask me about it so I kept my mouth.

I left home to join my elder brother where he was working and while there, I gained admission & started school. whenever I visit home & see the girl's mother, she won't respond to my greetings and would always look at me with this bitterness. She believed I was truly responsible for what happened to her daughter. I saw the girl few times but we never talked to each other again. My father passed 2015 and my mother 2021, may God bless their souls in Jesus name, Amen. February this year I was discussing with a friend about childhood and remembered this incident. I felt the need to clear myself and let her parents know I was innocent of the allegation. I called my Aunty who also do business in the same market and request the phone number of the girl and her mother, but she told me the girl's mother died even before my own mother. She sent me the phone number of the SISTER TO THE GIRL'S MOTHER who now sent me the girl's phone number.

I want to confront the girl and also make contact with the father hopefully my next visit to home state. I will like to tell the old man that I was totally innocent. I wouldn't know if the man and his wife laid some curses back then. This might open old wound though but I am planning to settle down soon so I feel the need to clear myself on that issue.
Kindly advice me whether or not to confront the girl or meet the family.
Thanks.

Going by the last part of your post, I think you are on the right track, first called her, get familiar again but don't show your intention first, then asked to know why she did what she did then knowing fully well that you guys never really had sex, while doing this, get the conversation recorded, once you get her response as expected, then tell her you will like both of you to clear this before her father who now is the only person left out of you guys' parents. If she object, you go ahead to clear yourself with the recorded voice note.
Success

SpatialKing:
How does this translate to anything?

We are talking about cutting the cost of governance yet you want to appoint 20 SAs for what exactly?

The post is not for the understanding of every Tom, Dick and Harry.

Hope she is not the woman who was said to have hook up a celebrity with another person's child. Daddy freeze say something

Aonkuuse:
I knew that the strike will not really hold though I don't believe that they were bribed.

Tinubu is a kind of someone who doesn't make noise but knows how to influence. The FG's negotiation team wasn't bad too.

I agree with you, one of the key strength of Tinubu is that he knows how to bring people to see his point of view while appreciating the other person's view as well.

ggood:
The last time I checked Falana is a SAN , he has no knowledge about Economy

Lol, if only you look deeper, you will understand why they are meeting. Falana is definitely not in Aso Rock to draw economic plan but to discuss on the reaction of the people and how to properly manage the situation without things getting out of hands

iykejohnson:
He is personally airing his view and it has nothing to do with Obidient

Why is he silent on those that got approval to build refineries but have not done anything serious, will there be need for him to talk about monopoly if those who secure license to build refineries actually build them?

Sanusi men go show Ganduje pepper.

Only saving grace for them now is the franchise they have for Heineken.
