you recon?it is not, I have seen this happen,have you not seen people returning back from abroad to 9ja to marry after spending 20 years abroad?

erico2k2:
you are right but do not forget success is measured in different parameters between different people.just coming abroad can easily set your family life back by 20 years especially if you are female!

Hi @justwise and everyone

Thanks for contributing your views to the matter. We've obviously seen the spike in the number of people who want to relocate Abroad, especially as a result of so many many things going wrong in the country. It looks like Justwise might be a little out of touch with the current situation in Nigeria. The a.r.m.y is currently on a rampage in Oyo harrassing people for nothing, there have been reports of people getting killed in Rivers state and we saw what happened two weeks ago at Lekki. All of these things are worth leaving Nigeria over.

The PTSD alone is enough to give you worries. I hear any loud bang from my room and my first instinct is to move away from the window and probably find a safe spot. Serious fear upon seeing police officers/SARS because you know you are likely a victim of extortion, harassment or possibly death. Ah and yes, SARS has not ended. They are still on the streets harassing and extorting people.

There are a LOT of reasons for one to spend his last kobo on ESCAPING Nigeria. Yes, escape even if it means spending your last kobo. A lot of the folks I know who have graduated are all processing schools in the US because of this same situation.
One earns north of $1500 monthly but would rather go and spend 5 years to get a PhD. Tell me this same person would have 20k pounds lying somewhere and would not wake up the next day and land in the UK?

Today is not the day to talk about the SARS/Police brutality, or people who have been lost as a result of dysfunctional system.

A LOT of people would gladly pay if they had the money or collect loans to go for an MSC in the UK even if they do not know what is next after the MSC. It might be irrational but that's the situation where most Nigerians currently sit.

jesudaughter:
And such family will end up giving same abroad school fees amount or higher as ransome to kidnappers.

Abeg, anyone who can afford leaving Nigeria anytime anyday should not be discouraged.

justwise:
yeah.. lets see the next line of excuse now SARS is no more

justwise:
SARS killing people because they have good phone or dressed very well is true but the number of innocent ones are exaggerated and a lot of people including yahoo yahoo, kidnappers are using the same excuse.

Nigeria will not be better because SARS is gone.

justwise:
Talk is cheap

How many Nigerian youths were killed because of that?

SARS is not even the major prob in Nigeria, hopefully SARS is gone for good but Nigerian prob is still alive and kicking

Canada dey too. He can just do a care job, amazon or retail job for the two years post study, save up and target Canada since he is studying IT.

Aphrodite007:
No amount of money is too much when it comes to buying peace of mind

Imagine training a child for 25 years, then police will kill him because he has iPhone. Abeg! She try!

justwise:
The UK will be harder by the time you spent 20-30K in a year and end up jobless.. 9ja is not hard if you or your parents can afford to spend that much a year on foreign education.

justwise:
University can only offer discount to a student who was promised inclass lectures then it turns out the opposite direction otherwise no they should not.
Do you know that many Nigerians have paid thousands in tuition fee deposit and still studying online from Nigeria while waiting for visa?
I mean.. how silly? The idea of travelling abroad for studies in this pandemic and economic free fall is a really bad one.

Tell them not to and you will be called enemy of progress

Hello House, Got into the UK about 2 weeks ago. Started processing for accommodation while in Nigeria. A friend in Coventry help us check out the house, lovely as seen on the internet, we paid the deposit, they began the processing, some days ago we were informed we got the house, then today was called back that the landlord rejected us. Wasted 3 whole weeks. Every house we see and like, we get responses like the landlord doesnt want students. We even offered to pay 6 months rent and there seem to be no available house. is there anyone in coventry that can advise? My Quarantine will be over by saturday and im just confused.

Yuzee:

LuvlyIva:
Hmmmm! Never heard of it in spouse visa application. You can ask any body

LagosismyHome:
your wife never talk the true story ............however if you feel you want to move to UK you can do it . Forget about that German language and find a traing school in nigeria that teaches cyber security or information technology and see if it something that would interest you . ANybody can learn anything you put your mind too. if you like it then do a masters within that IT space ........... that training in nigeria will give you a headsup into the program

Then come and do a masters with IT , meet her and it has to be one day at a time. if it doesnt work at least you done a masters in an area that has some job opportunity and you rebuild your life from there . if it works out then great .... you rebuild

dustydee:
I hesitate to drink tap water in London simply because of the leaky mains I have seen and the old piping works in buildings, which I cannot trust their integrity. It's a personal choice though.

Lexusgs430:
Enjoy your tap water, let me enjoy my bottled water.......
