That's how reasonable people create their own peace. If it were Nigeria, python dance would be created to kill the agitators.

Baba, the few leisure time I have, I use it to do research on Ireland and the opportunities to explore from it. No time to play here.

odimbannamdi:
Guys, do you think schools like Dublin Business School offer part time (2years) study for international students?

I am considering that option because, based on the discourse i have just read here, a part time study option will afford me a little more time for side hustle while actually studying.

I am glad to read your response bro. Now there seems to be more positive response coming from it. Your initial write up was mere generalisation. The truth is I reside here in Dublin city and we tend to pay same amount of rent. Mine seems a bit slightly higher than yours for a shared room. Maybe I was fortunate to opt for DBS then. You guys schooling their ought to discuss with the PG program coordinator there in Griffith so that something can be done in that regards.

I feel your plight bro but I am not advising you or anyone here to break the provisions of their student visa. All I was emphasizing is that one takes due advantage of the opportunities that lies in whatever environment one finds him or herself. Talking about Canada, there are so many Nigerians there in Canada with masters who settled for taxi driving. The racist thing is everywhere. Once you are not a native of their country, its pretty difficult getting a suitable job that is in tandem with what you studied in school. The only edge I would say Canada has is it's easier to get permanent residence there. This is one area which Ireland needs to critically look at so it can harness the pool of diverse cultures it seems to enjoy presently and then over time, they can have second generation of blacks as Irish natives.

You initial post would ordinarily deter the faint hearted to pursue a career path here cause of your generalisation of Ireland whereas it has everything to do with your own school which seems not to avail you time to hustle and work simultaneously. However, I know it's hard getting jobs that pay cash but look out for odd jobs which Irish people won't do for any amount in the world. In it lies the answer to that which you seek. There are lots of opportunities here and that's the gospel truth. Even the cars you were talking about shipping from Canada, it's cheaper shipping a car from Ireland to Nigeria than from the former. You can do your research on that too. Car shipping constitutes the bulk of trade between Ireland and Nigeria. Mostly salvaged cars if you know what I mean. Also, we have edge in currency value over them in Canada. The list is endless. Both countries are good and please don't get me wrong. At least vacation is around the corner and so you can hustle properly. Even in DBS, chances are we won't hustle quite well this holiday period. The reason is exam starts this January. So every school has it's own odds but regardless of such, we have to keep up the hustle. Stay strong and positive. God bless your hustle here and above all, God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

To be truthful, ireland is totally bleeped... i am in ireland everyday and the cost of living here is something else. To get GNIB appointment na GOLD, took me 3 months to get mine and still bills must be paid,Rent like 800 euros and above if you want to stay by yourself, don't get me wrong you can get for 500-700euros but u go tire to find. How much do u earn 9.55 euros an hour and only required to work for 20 hours a week with tax to pay around 2-5%. Transport a week in dublin about 20 euros,feeding never join. There are menial jobs eg, warehousing and picking fruits about 10euros per hour, if you go there u go see men with red passport still dey do warehouse jobs & the next day body go wan break, other jobs kitchen porter, cleaner, waiter etc. racism na another level especially in my house, things i don't do they go report to landlady. December dey come now for someone to work 40hrs, no time sef to go hustle join because exams is in January, u choose to do well in exams or work 40hours. I feel if u earn above 180k in Nigeria as a bachelor or spinster, no need to leave that job, i made a mistake ever coming here, na canada sure pass but since i am here, i will make good use of it.

Don't ask me about the 2 years, 3 people who finished from griffith college 1 Msc Accounting and finance, 2 International Business, don return back to Nigeria as no job show after the 2 years.

For the guy complaining bitterly about life in Ireland , you can ask those living in central london.

I lived outside london for 5 years @ Hatfield to be precise, accommodation is 4 -5 bed house, my room costs £400 per month excluding bills. As at 2015, my friend in westminster london lived in a 4 bed shared house, her rent for 1 room was £750 excluding bills.

I had 18 -20 year old nigerian party freaks as flatmates, the ones who take your stew and finish the meat @ midnight when everyone was at work, library or sleeping, those who mess up toilet and you have to clean up after them.

If you have lived in Nigerian hostels, you probably would have encountered such.

You don't get anything on a platter in life , nothing is handed to you.
Brace yourself, grow up , sit yourself down and decide what you want to take away from Griffith / Ireland or the overall abroad pursuit.

As crazy as the UK is with no automatic graduate visa , some people are still getting their work permit legally without marrying EU/British Nationals.

Am not picking at you , you're entitled to your opinion but what you said today seems more of a rant than advise.

NL1960:


It depends on what you want. There are people who liked to be called landlords (aka baba landlord) even if they are not really making money from their properties. Once you have a property, almost everybody in your family knows and they know when you collect the rent and that is when each and everyone of them will start coming with his/her problems for you to solve for them. If you say, you do not have, they will say 'shebi you just collect rent'. Before you know it, the money is finished with you wondering what you used the money for. That is when it suddenly dawn on you that the next rental is at least 11 months away. With TB, nobody knows if you have money. If they come around, na you go first cry say the country hard. Once you first cry, they will no longer be bold to tell you their problems. They will just say 'please just help me with anything'. Na so you go just give the person small thing from your TB upfront interest to help the person.

That's how Canada exposed me to many opportunities in Nigeria. I left nigeria in 2014 with the mentality of living big abroad as if everything is easy over there which i ended up working my ass off with pay cheque which is not even enough to live good.
Fast forward to 2016 I sat myself down and think deeply cos I got a lot of dependant which canada situation can't help or else I will end up ignoring my dependants by not not letting them to know my contacts again.
Here we go April 2016 I decided to leave Canada to Nigeria cos I have a lot of business idea, thou right from the beginning business is in my blood.
When I decided to leave i inform my family about it my brothers, sisters, mom and my friends were all scared and wonder how can I decided such a silly thing to come back to nija. Sometimes self decision is the best. I kept mute I didn't listen until I carried out my plan, booked a one way ticket to nija, landed and the hustle started. Everybody are looking at me like let's see what will end u in Nigeria.

I dont know Why we Nigerians lose hope on our country as if these western world are paradise?

I went back to my business I was doing before I left for canada which is agriculture. I put some money I managed to save on it. Upgrade myself by advertising my products online, travelling around, visiting big big farms for sales cos I'm into poultry and I also sell foreign feed additives such as feed proteins and amino-acids.
These business I have been doing before I left for canada but the mentality of travelling out for greener pasture has eat deep in me, then I didn't work too smart cos I believe abroad is the only option to success.

To cut the long story short
I'm now a owner of a company.
We sale imported feed additives in case a farmer might be interested in buying.

Till today Canada door is still opened for me.
I was there 2 times this year, planning to go again next March thou for visiting online.

All my write up is all true cos I know some might want to quote me wrong. I swear
Some might wonder how come all these happen in 2yrs yes it's God's grace and focus.

Funny enough, a lot of people didn't believe all these till today, some believe I'm into Yahoo thing and even sarz always stop me while driving but when they see evidence they free me cos I'm just 29yrs still very young for face. I swear with my life I have never try that Yahoo Yahoo thing or ritual in my life. God is my witness.



@mile
Nigeria is the best if you have a very good business idea and fund to finance it.

I will never advice who's going for greener pasture abroad not to do it cos not everybody got business idea and everybody can't be a boss.
Some will live all their life on pay cheque while some is destined to be d boss. That's life.

I just joined nairaland cos if catch my attention especially this thread. One love

I respect your opinion, and I will be amongst the last person to insult you in anyway, unless you probably instigated or initiated it, and on the topic, people took it the wrong way, I solely blame my tune and phrases, I was just being a bit excessive in some points.

We have definitely meet in a couple of other threads pertaining to Ireland, politics or sports, and you have personally provided me with some information about something related to Ireland when I needed it, thanks once again for your kind inputs, and literally creating one of the first thread about travelling to Ireland here on nairaland. Much respect sir
