Personally I will choose Germany. Both opportunities sound good so pay should not be the major determinant. Germany has a good economy and technologically progressive. Spain's economy is not too fantastic for a developed a nation with a high unemployment rate.
The only challenge with germany is language. Spanish is easier to learn than German. Also, I think spain is more fun.
Just my 2 cents. All the best in whichever choice you make.

udoakwa:
wow, please if you don't mind can you list those reasons?

Mainly lack of jobs. Young people are moving out to work and live in cities.

udoakwa:

Just curious, could this be true and son of man is suffering in this God forsaken country

It is true, but I will not advise it. You will have to live in the village for 3 year. There is a reason their population has been declining

As much as I dont really like Tinubu, I respect him for being the face of opposition for 16 years, even when PDP/Obj swept the southwest and Obj withheld funding for Lagos, he refused to join the ruling party. Nigerian politicians lack principle na anywhere belle face politics. If PDP wins Aso rock, they all move back to PDP.

Bill Cosby isn't set free because he's not guilty of the offense. He's set free on technicality. The prosecution ran foul of the law and the defense is taking advantage of that. Let's always get our facts right before we comment.

Most people don't read the body of an article, just the headline.

misspatsy:
Ok. I will get there tomorrow. Maybe with frown and shout, they will give me cash too. But its not up to 21 days though

Okay. But better to go early. I went there after sending mails and calling for 3 months

misspatsy:
I have similar issue presently and I am yet to get any refund or a response to my mails.

It is better to go to their office for refund. Arik air never responds to mail and calls. Talking from experience.

Anas09:
Pls go and take the vaccine you hear? No be by force. Take it. Tell everyone in your family to take it.

Did you hear that someone in WHO who knows these things indebtly said the vaccine has not been tested?
Do you even know how long it takes for a vaccine to be manufactured? How long did it take Covid19 vaccine to come out? Less than a year.

Do you also know that before a vaccine is released to the general public, it must go through trial stage for at 5-7 years?
Do you know that every vaccine is first tested on mamals to see if it works?

Do you know why it takes so long before it gets tested on humans?
It is so that they can observe it and see how people reacts to it. The after effect and the possible dead rate that occurs as a result of the vaccine.
Can you assure yourself that a vaccine which they put together under 1yr has gone through the required testing and fit for humans?

Are you saying this because you can't help but insult a pastor even whennhe is trying to help you?

Well, insult him, and go on with your entire household, take the vaccine, whatever the outcome, enjoy it.

A lot of people already took it and have said so in the comments. I already had my first dose of Pfizer vaccine. I would have love to enlighten you, but I doubt you are ready to listen to anything contrary to what your pastor's opinion

Buffalo2:
If you see the kind of fear this guy put in everybody's mind eh! like pple will start dropping dead immediately. the fear was too much yesterday and trust the congregant see orisirisi hailing from the corners of the church. Ride on papa! Tell them Daddy! devil is a liar sir! and all manner. And it's this same church that many pastors tested positive after 2020 Shilo program o.

It is easy to control people when they are afraid. Christianity and science shouldn't be antagonistic. That is why I respect intellectual pastors like Sam Adeyemi and Poju Oyemade.

CSTRR:
It's not necessarily patriotism.

Its self interest.

I don't want my health care workers to be the least smart among them.
The remnants that were not intelligent enough to pass PLAB1 and 2.

When the best we have have all gone to Dubai and the UK.

Every Nigerian that cannot afford foreign healthcare should have that same self interest.

That's actually a very good point. Unfortunately a good number of healthcare workers left are those that have not been able to pass the required exams.

CSTRR:
Yes.

It is because they don't care about Nigerian interests that is why they owe health care workers.

And that is why they don't care that foreign countries are stripping Nigeria dry of skilled hands.

I like your patriotism. I wont say anything further so as not to discourage the few patriotic ones we have left

CSTRR:
A lite of Nigerians don't know the scale of predation that foreign countries are doing to Nigeiann healthcare.

They are parking them enmass.
And it is the Nigerian people that suffers.

Poor Nigerians that can't afford foreign healthcare.

Many of these health care Visa agents especially from the UK and the middle East are wrecking serious havoc on Nigeria.

Infa t the UN had to create a quota protecting vulnerable countries like Nigeria but the wealthy countries don't care.

They know the damage they are doing, they just don't care.

If I become president tommorow, one of the first things I would do is to send a strongly worded statement to predator nations ,close down their agencies in Nigeria and charge their Nigerian collaborators with treason.

If you become president, will you also increase the salaries of healthcare workers and improve the quality if the healthcare sector.

Jeromejnr:
I read it...and I read the exceptions.

And know you can't always be sacked like the OP.

And also religious belief.

A employee it is stated can reject it due to medical reason and then the employer has to provide an alternative means like working remotely.

I doubt the OP has a medical issue that will keep him from getting vaccinated. And to use religious belief, you have to show where in your religious book (bible or quran) that states that you should not be vaccinated.

Jeromejnr:
"At will employment" law doesn't work for violation of public policy which includes constitutional rights.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2020/12/07/covid-vaccine-update-your-boss-can-fire-you-if-you-refuse-the-coronavirus-shot.html

You can read the opinion of labor attorney.
TLDR: yes you can be sacked.

Fanuchi007:
The church has always been against modern knowledge. When electricity wat invented, the church worked tirelessly to destroy it, when the electric bulb was invented, the church called it 'devils eye'. when polio vaccine was discovered the church tried every means to destroy it. why do u people never learn? why listen to a pastor when he/she has no knowledge of medicine. Do u know how many vaccination you received as a child? polio, measles etc and you think it's covid 19 that will kill us? what has 4g got to do with covid-19!! this pastor Chris that is kicking against 4g and covid-19, in the next 10 years he would have installed 4g in all his churches across the world. Religion always tries to destroy what it can't explain. liberal christianity and science is the future....

I'm a Christian, and this is one thing I do not understand about the church. The church always seem to be against science and technology. Same way the church was against Galileo and insisted that earth is flat

Jeromejnr:
Mr man.. stop trying typing nonsense in an effort to sound smart.

Even if the percentage of people that have side effects from the vaccine is miniscule that doesn't give anyone the right to force the vaccine on anyone.

You or any employer can't try that rubbish in the U.S. he will have a right to sue. No one even forces the vaccine on people even in the place the vaccine was developed. They are only encouraged to do so.

Besides how do you know the OP won't be part of the minority who are affected by the side effects?

Do you even know anything about long term side effects? Is it not the same experts that are still carrying out research?

And also, not everyone is about religion. See how you have already jumped to conclusion on the guy's matter.

Some people actually think and don't just believe everything they see online just because you have the word "experts" or "scientists" attached to a quote.

Anyways, I know Nigeria is a lawless country.

Actually, states in US have an "at will employent" law. An employer can sack you if you refuse to be vaccinated.

WelcomeToBiafra:
Don't forget those you are sacking are somebody's children.

Unemployment don reach 10000000% in the zoo the jungle republic of one Nigeria.



Youths got no warefare.
Fulani and Britain propagandist terrorist are doing well in advertising covid19 to subdue gullible cowardice Nigerians to hostage. Nigerian youths are wallowing in the dark because of one Niggeria. Yet those subduing Nigerians turned around to abusing and insulting Nigerians as "lazy youths".

Rise up against injustice, you said no.
P
Support IPOB & ESN for Biafra.

So sorry about your sacked.

John Pombe died from Covid 19.

greenskittles:
You really don't know what you're saying. I always find it amusing how someone who does a few Google searches thinks they're competent enough to discard research by experts who spent their lives training to that effect. And, using the experiences of a small percentage of people to condemn the vaccine makes no sense. It's like saying because malaria medicine makes some people itch, then nobody should take malaria medicine. Anyway, I'm sure a lot of you anti-vaxxers somehow tie this to your religion (thanks to Facebook conspiracy theories, lol). So I won't bother going further as you cannot attempt to reason a man out of a position he didn't come into through reason in the first place. My only intention with my initial post was to explain how vaccines work, and I've done that.

The funniest thing about anti-vaxxers is that most probably flunked biology in secondary school and they talk with so much confidence. Best to leave them to their delusions. Talk your own and leave.

temmy59:
Chances of getting canada admissions is low. And long time frame

And if you get admission, you may be denied visa. I think UK is easier, but if I were in his shoes, I will choose Canada.

Prodigee:
You were making sense untill you called USA a shithole! Like seriously?

Actually, most people from other developed countries refer to USA as a third world country with Gucci belt. Shithole is probably an exaggeration, but if you look at most socioeconomic index, US lag behind other developed countries

Romanus123:
Please I'm not trying to disagree with this post but as someone who has lived and worked in UAE for the past 5 years, I can categorically tell you that it's not easy as Nigerian to get teaching job in UAE. They preferred giving it to other african countries than Nigerians.
The only works Nigerian citizens can easily get in UAE are Waiter, waitress, cleaner, factory worker, security, taxi drivers and other low class job and the starting salary is between 150k to 200k monthly (Excluding Overtime) as new comer.
Teaching is a lucrative job in UAE and are mostly occupied by Indians and Philippines citizens.
Please don't go to Dubai with the full hope of getting a teaching job and later get frustrated. It's not as easy as you think. Nigerians working as teachers in UAE is not up to 2/100, quote me anywhere.
For more information, WhatsApp me @ +971523603356

I dont know how easy or not it is, but I personally know 2 guys teaching in Dubai, 1 in an international school, they could be the exception though.

Amitez:
Just thinking aloud ooo!

Why are there no gay cocks, no gay goats, no gay snakes, no gay dogs, no gay pigs, etc? Do these animals not have sexual orientations?
Obviously, some humans must be more animalistic than these other animals.

Actually, homosexuality has been observed in almost all species of animals, including lions

Xclusivedaniel6:
imagine yourself asking that kind of senseless question
Is having laptop a crime or is laptop a contraband
You can have as many laptop as you want

so now reason ham well like a normal and civilized human being with healthy thinking and ask yourself, do you have sense?

Some people are used to poverty that they cannot imagine someone having 2 laptops without stealing.

RuudVanNisteroy:
True, the only aspect Nigerians struggle in is relationships, especially the women. A number of them still run back to Lagos to find a husband.

Yes, that is because statistics is not in their favour. There are less than 100,000 Nigerians in canada, most married. There is a very small pool to choose from and also, Canada is not a very outgoing country so few opportunities to meet people

RuudVanNisteroy:
Covid has taken it's toll in Canada when it comes to the employment market as well. I recently lost my professional job of two years.
There is still an abundance of jobs in my field being advertised and had a number of interviews,but the labour market is so competitive right now,that landing a job will take some time.

Sorry about that. I'm sure you will get something soon.

RuudVanNisteroy:
What the OP posted is 100% fact!It takes one to four years to get yourself established, as a new immigrant.

When you arrive in Canada you can only get blue collar jobs such as cashier,bus driver,labourer at warehouse and sales associate jobs that pay minimum or slightly above the minimum wage.

You either have to go back to school for for at least a year or do all your certifications again if you're in accounting,medical,engineering or law field. It pays off in the long-term though and even if your a bus driver your standard of living is better than majority of people in Nigeria.

I think everyone that relocated knows this before relocating. I have some friends that got something in their field immediately, but that is minority.
I am a pharmacist, and I am almost done with my licensing, it takes a year and half. Even a canadian pharmacist or doctor moving to Nigeria will also have to be licensed to practice in Nigeria, it's like that for every professional course.

Expecting to get to Canada and start working immediately in your field is unrealistic. As you said, in the long run, it pays off. Most people end up doing much better than they were in Nigeria after 2 years.

BigBashiru:
I completely forgot about the great healthcare! And yes the politics is saner.

I had the choice between canada and US when I migrated, so I had to do a lot of studies on both countries and so far, I think I made a good choice.

You can add healthcare, sane politics, nicer people.

Overall, I tell people that if you are a hustler, or want fun bubbling society, US is a better choice. But if you want a quiet peaceful lifestyle with better quality of life, Canada should be your destination.

[quote author=Tumbulum post=97866988]America has been divided. Democrats made sure Trump never had peace and I see Republican doing same to biden[/quote

Republicans actually started it with Obama. Mitch even said that "our goal is to make Obama a one term preaident" He was obstructed all the way, couldn't even nominate a supreme court justice. The bad side is nothing will ever be achieved again in the US. Republicans will obstruct Biden, Democrats will obstructs the next Republican president and on and on. It is a sad thing. I hope they realise what is happening on time and stop it

damzy88:
You just said it all. Nigerians are funny set of people. You migrated to a new country and you expect it to be 100% like your home country. Lol...

Exactly, every country has its culture and norms. The moment you leave your country, you should be prepared to adapt. Even states in Nigeria differ and if you moving from Imo to Ogun, you should be ready to adapt, it is the same thing with international migration.

koyyes:
Immigrants( Indians, Chinese and others) on quora have complained bitterly about Canada. Some are thinking of heading to the US or UK.

Canadian PRs are doing a great job trying to inflate Canada's GDP with immigration.

Job opportunities are only available to immigrants who schooled there.

Only married immigrants enjoy Canada. If you are single, you will probably die of loneliness because Canadians are generally anti social. Their activities are somewhat robotic.

If you go there to school, make as much friends as possible.

Parts of your write up are true, but not entirely. There are lots of immigrants on LinkedIn with top jobs, I know some personally. You also do not have to school here, although it helps and it is encouraged to at least get a canadian certification.
Yes, Canada is boring, every canadian will tell you that, and that is their lifestyle, that will not change, but they are not antisocial. Nigerians are very social, that is why canadians may seem antisocial to you, and their idea of fun is very different from ours
