The means to leave is the biggest obstacle for most.

Currency depreciation, can't qualify for any migration/visa category, clueless about the whole process, no guidance/helper, home base responsibilities, and of course, the embassy will mostly not grant you a visa.

The Schengen visa is now very difficult to get. For example, Norway as a rule, wont grant you a visa for tourism even if you overqualify. They do not want Nigerian visitors.

So there you go, leaving Nigeria will keep becoming exceptionally difficult, and close to impossible as the days go by, unless maybe through a family route with a foreign resident/citizen.

A good gaming system.... Nvidia GPU with 4 or 8gbVRAM, 16 or 32gbRAM, 10th , 11th or 12th generation Intel Processor, an SSD.

These are just suggestions. The bigger it is the better.

I am inspired to write this night and maybe this will inspire someone.

Well, all the recent videos posted here in this thread have been the several tests and practices towards achieving something special with my personal project. I have waited over two years to actually feel like being ready to do something special with it. It is a project I have announced here on nairaland before but I paused it due to the low confidence I had in my skill despite having enough to pull it off at the time. But the wait is even better as my skills have improved tremendously over those two years.

Over the last five years however, I have acquired the following skills:
1. Filmmaking (cinematography and directing).
2. 3D Animation (both keyframing and motion capturing).
3. Motion Capturing (acting and directing).
4. I am proficient in 8 softwares (Four 3D softwares, two video editing softwares, one photo editing software and one sound editing softwares), my level of proficiency differs though as I mostly only focus on what I need those softwares to achieve and not necessarily learning everything the softwares can do. Three of these softwares were learnt this year only.

I never had a teacher nor been to school to learn any of these. I have two degrees both in Nigeria and the UK, yet none of these skills have any bearing on my degrees. In fact, if any of you can go back to my earliest posts about animations on nairaland, you can see where I started from. From that person who posted a crappy animated short. My go to places are Youtube and google. With those two, you can learn anything in the world without spending a dime (well except data sha).

Having completed the animation of a 3D feature length movie titled The Lost Treasure (Details and demo to be found here https://www.thelosttreasurefilm.com/) in May 2021, I decided to test all these skills I have acquired on my personal project as it seem that is what is missing. The Lost Treasure is an hour long feature length 3D animated movie. All characters, scenes and animations were done by me right in my living room. The experience did not just inspire me but I realised the strength of what I carry in my head.

That said, you all will be seeing a lot of this personal short movie soon enough. The project is about 60% done. All scenes and characters are ready. I am currently working on the previz of the sequences to ascertain what motion assets I have and how much of motion capturing I need to do for the characters. There will be three main characters and I will be doing all their voiceovers and you will never guessed in a million years that these voice overs were done by just one person. Wait for it!

This 3D animated short promises to change your ideas about what just one person can achieve when it comes to 3D animations. If you are reading this and you seem stuck with whatever skill youre learning, remember that people do not necessarily need to see the little progress you are making everyday. The validation of your progress you need is you going to bed at night and knowing you have added something to your skill for that day. It is a gradual process that will pay off.


Now, if you are into 3D and wishes to connect, please send me a mail and I will sure reply you with my number or if you can find my number here on nairaland somewhere. I have had the privilege to connect with a lot people who are into 3D from here and I have in fact formed great bonds and friendships.

KingOfAmebo:
Here's a trending article I read on the world's most popular forum Quora.

"Opportunities once flowed in Nigeria as abundantly as the Niger River, but that narrative has long changed.

Nigerians, known to be resourceful, educated, and fueled by ambition are leaving the shores of their motherland in droves, not in a casual drift but in a frantic exodus.

They're running from a crucible of crises that boils and overflows, leaving a residue of despair with no extinguisher in sight.

A country of numerous resources has become a labyrinth of misfortunes. Governed by the worst of leaders who have weaponized poverty for their selfish interest—that is, when patriotic Nigerians rise to question, and fight, the government, their opponent would be fellow poor Nigerians, fighting tooth and nail for the same politicians who have kept them so.

Nigerians find themselves locked in an ever-intensifying cycle of multi-dimensional problems. From economic chaos to sometimes, unbearable insecurity, the nation's woes accumulate like sediment, each layer more crippling than the last.

The government that the masses put their hopes on as custodian of public interest, has turned the country into a family enterprise, brokering ill-advised deals that mortgage the country’s future. Deals that have dwindled the Naira's value like melting ice.

Petrol prices have soared skyward to three times what they were just months ago, pulling along dreams and ambitions into fury flames.

And yet, our leaders plead for patience in a land where patience has bled dry. With this reality, the rich find their escape routes, seeking refuge in developed countries that offer a semblance of stability, leaving behind poor Nigerians tethered by financial constraints.

The only thing that seems permanent in Nigeria has become the disheartening truth that our yesteryears often outshine our tomorrows. This mass migration of Nigerians isn’t just alarming but frightening—a "brain drain" as it's called, because it's the middle class and skilled Nigerians who are leaving the country in droves.

Those who can no longer wait for the dawn are chasing the sun elsewhere, hoping to find what has become elusive at home— a life of value, a life worth living.

Nigeria has, year after year performed below expectations and for every emigrant, the implication is clear: faith in the motherland has eroded, leaving behind only the skeletal remains of what was once a thriving belief in a shared future that Nigerians can unite and make something out of themselves for the good of everyone who calls Nigeria home."

4) Nigerians hate to research. I stupidly told some clients I didn’t know this and that. Whereas I could have learned it in a few hours via YouTube. EVERY INFORMATION YOU NEED IS JUST A CLICK AWAY......I remember when I was doing some ancestry research for a Canadian client, she then asked if I can transcribe, I replied YES.....me whey neva transcribe before!

I spent a full day on YouTube watching several videos on it as I couldn't afford to miss the $265 she has on the table for the work.

Being broke is a material state, but being poor is a mental state. Although most poor people are broke, not all broke people are poor. Brokeness can happen to anybody, even millionaires.

But poverty, that one needs deliverance. Poverty affects your character, taste, future, surroundings, friends, hobbies, life choices, partner choices, church choices, career choices, just name it.

Dangote and a broke man can be friends without friction, but to be friends with a poor person is like being friends with problems. Poverty is self-destructive and cannot redeem itself.

A mentally poor person needs a prolong intervention within affluence and affluential people before any hope of redemption can be seen, and that depends on the age of the poor person. Over 40 years old? thats almost a point of no return, then poverty for life is assured.

Poverty, allied with a lack of manners is the deadliest combination a human can possess, and I don't think the blood of Jesus can wash it away. Poverty is bad.
