As a fresh graduate in Nigeria after the NYSC, is relocating to canada through study Visa to do Msc and possbily getting a canadian PR after graduation better than trying to get a job here in Nigeria.

We all know it quite difficult to get job here but the cost of education in canada too is a factor one has to consider.

What is your take on this?

Let's share opinions.

WUdec:
He is right actually, I don't know any person that lives abroad and changes currency at the bank whenever the are back home. Plus, these BDC guys are quicker and more professional than the banks where they act like they are doing you a favour.

Most of the time, the bank is only interested in holding your currency and investing with it.

Take Standard Chartered bank for example, where you pay in foreign currency but you can never withdraw it in Nigeria....except abroad. To withdraw, you must do so in Naira and that's where they play with their fees

Plus, people who deal in Euros and Pounds never use the bank. They hardly do.

The bank involvement would greatly impact on the general rates.. we still have those outside the book purposes today but we see the price crashing daily.. why?... because the supply is outweighing the demand on the BDC side.

For imports, people have bypassed the BDC's.. Nigerian organizations are now set up in various countries where you credit their naira account here and your payment is made abroad to the individual or organizations with a single transaction lien on transfer company account here in Nigeria until payment is received by your contact..

Esseite:
You are ignorant of the laws of demand and supply..

More people would prefer to go to the banks for forex at 412 than a BDC at 509, if they have excess, they would obviously want to sell to the BDC to make margin, which the BDC would refuse soonest or be forced to offer little margin over bank sale rates because you cant be dumping dollars on them with little purchase. Which is why the price is already crashing.

Yes, notwithstanding, it's getting stale.

It doesn't mean racist abuse will stop
It will only keep reminding blacks that they are always victims

You're wrong about this. On the long run, most of them will run out of business.

That was Nigeria’s closest shot to a medal so far in #Tokyo2020. She finished 4th.

https://twitter.com/YeleSowore/status/1421070802179575811?s=19[/quote]True talk. Corruption is institutionalised in Nigeria. Its almost impossible to find a policeman, customs man, immigration man or civil servant that is not corrupt. Even our lecturers and labour leaders are just as bad.

See the calibre of people we give national awards to.

And to be honest, we the people are not much better. For every 100 people on Nairaland who insult corrupt leaders, not sure there will be up to 5 who will not partake in a shady deal for a N500mln cut!!

You're correct.

In the not so distant past, the oil companies found it economical to just flare the gas than put it back into the system because the price offered for it was too low. They still preferred to flare even when fined.

The market should be the sole determinant of the price.

Same gas that we were told we have in abundant quantity and we are even flaring it away is what has suddenly become very expensive again

What a country

SexyBabe001:
The best decision ever made by CBN.

These BDC guys are criminals and very greedy. You are buying from CBN at 393/$ and they supply you $20000 weekly yet you will sell to the public at the rate of #500-505 and you said God won't punish you people.

If not for the wicked and corruption of our bankers and those bank managers, what's stopping us from accessing dollars from the counter or better still let CBN peg our ATM with $1000 monthly and see BDC die a natural death. The reason why people are going to these folks is cos we can't access the dollar from banks. Bank managers have formed a cartel and sell to BDC to make profit.

I hope Emefiele remains firm and focus in this. In this time and age we need to be responsible and be proactive. Let all bank branches be selling dollars not the abokis and the BDC they are the ones hoarding the dollars and abeiting money laundering.

For the first time, kudos to CBN.. Let's hope banks won't play smart.

Any banks that default in this I suggest their licence seized for at least 8 months.

Leave them... We complain of crime, fraud and immorality but we celebrate things people cannot explain how they got.

Even the people celebrating them cannot explain how these people got to where they are. That is why you rarely find "successful" people in Nigeria writing a book about their success stories unlike their counterparts in the West who can give step by step explanations that can be verified by anybody of how they got to where they are.

It is testimony time............The Lord has done it.

AFONAMARO:
Eloquence, passion, tenacity and oratory are not gifts easily bestowed to everyone.

Whilst you may want to disagree with her career growth as you are clearly entitled to your opinion, strive to differentiate between being defamatory from spewing facts, your comparison between international known fraudsters to a well known and respected banker speaks volume.

AFONAMARO:
Incorrect, you cannot move from ET to a DM level even in 5 years, not to mention 3 years.

The lady you are talking about did so well for himself and knows her onion. In fact, she's an ED right now in one of the new generation banks

Argument? Who is arguing with you? Go fvck yourself you clown.

Even at US$ 35.9 million which is equivalent to N 14 billion, that 1.5km bridge is overpriced. Haba!

Nepal-India 1.5km bridge was estimated at US$24.8 million and you can bet the quality woukd be higher than ours.

https://www.worldhighways.com/wh8/news/nepal-india-bridge-project-planned

In South Africa it costs R 3.5 million per kilometer to construct roads that are much better than ours. That is approximately N 97.5 million. However in Nigeria, a 1.5 km road is contructed at over N 200 million!!!

Even in infrastructure developments, the country is still being stolen blind.

Wickedfact:
Sex for grades is even too much. Go to the Uber and Taxify thread and see where Lekki girls are offering sex to pay for trips of 1,200 and 1,500.

Sex is the cheapest thing a lady can offer a man and any man who demands sex for anything from a lady is a big fool.

GeneralPula:
How does a student offering sex equate lecturer threatening to deny you your actual score if you don't sleep with him?
Except in movies, I've never seen this happening in reality.

If you put a yam outside and a passing goat chop it, will it be realistic for you to go after the goat, knowing well enough goat didn't come into your apartment to chop the yam..?

These girls don't only fvck lecturers to pass... They'll fvck a doctor so as not to be paying for health services... They'll fvck a landlord so as not for them not to pay rent... They'll fvck a uber man so as not to be paying for transports...

Same girls, whenever they want to report to you.. They'll be like;'
Lecturer is demanding for sex or she'll fail
landlord is demanding for sex cuz she's owing rent
Uber man is demanding for sex cuz she wanted to transport somewhere and she has no cash

These girls, stories and forming victims are like 5&6..

You can't blame a man for accepting sex advances from any lady, just as you can't blame any lady for collecting free money from any man..

Stone03:
I knew one of them that passed through that way. She was in unizik but always in Lagos only for her to submit pussy to pass.
She got graduated and began to look for job. This lady kept failing interviews to the point that even local factories couldn't employ her lol.

MASTERCHIEF0847:
Who is the "US" you are referring to?
If you believe this crap is worth even a billion dollars then you need mental health care.
How much did Turkey use to construct the world's biggest airport? How much did China use to build the 3 gourges dam that has a capacity to generate 30,000Mw?
When you answer this i will provide you with my own quote. Bodoh!

Was thinking I was the only one who saw that bogus sum, the RCCG road construction has opened our guys to the real cost of this things...

But the government would still want to cash out by any means possible..
