I was studying and graduated from Uni East London in Malaysia... I came back home in 2014 to set up an IT biz... I have been trying my best though and I have won myself several awards and its only when I got to naija I am able to build my own house through hustles.. So I will advice u to come If u have good business plan BUT BUT BUT BUT make sure u have backup plan, I mean Visa to move out if things goes wrong and don't trust anybody with ur money even ur family... A lots of hunger dey naija, then go chop ur money... Just com home and start ur biz yaself.. Dont think u can use ur certs to find job oooo plenty gurus full ground then no see job..
Note: work on good biz plan.. Location, transportation and mobilization...

God bless

Bross no offence, Malaysia dn the US are way way different, people in the US will tell you there is no life in Malaysia!

Statistics revealed that most people on nairaland are IPOB and they will always be quick to pain Nigeria bad. I earn in dollars and in Naira too and I can tell you that with 9 million, OP can settle in Abuja and leave comfortably while pursuing business.

Most of these comments here come from unemployed people, those who don't know their right from their left.

There are several things he can do with the money and he will leave below average. How many Nigerian have 9 million? 99% of corpers have less than 2m. So what stops OP from excelling.

How much does Tony Elumelu give in its youth empowerment yet people double it in a year.

Listening to comments from people in this nairaland on such issue like this

There U go, classic, U have to bring the tribe thing into it.9 page down the line bravo.U earn in $$$$$ why not Earn in Naira?
that platform U operate is foreign based, why don't you invest on Bet 9ja so we know you are putting ur money where ur mouth is.

Wizard999:
all of you agents snooping around this forum. Don't you people have any other task to do. Are you assigned to only nairaland? From the op's tone, you can sense that he really wants to go home and relax. Why are you hell bent on trying to make a young man who can easily make it with $30k to remain in a foreign land.. are you his God? how do you know he will never make it except he goes to Canada or America? I don't understand..

sharaap there, what Agent?? we are giving few people Ideas here and U are talking about stuff you know next to nothing about!
Sit back and listen to people like us who have been in his shoes and how we overcame such cos one day you might find yourself in same shoe!

Wizard999:
whats your unit? Don't tell me it's classified....go ahead which of them?

what do U mean by UNIT??

featheredwinter:
Op listen to this guy here!
Your decision to come back to Nigeria should be yours and yours alone.

Yes, Nigeria is not as she should be, she is not as bad as a whole lot of persons paint her.
If you eventually decide to leave, you'll need to plan, to really plan. And you should make a conscious decision to guard yourself from people with grim pictures... negative people...

Meanwhile, don't you have any trusted person back home who will help pave at least a landing path for you and a short term arrangement pending when you get settled?

If you want a paid job, you could start your searches there.. Or if you want to be on your own, make adequate researches on what you want to do...

There should be a bigger picture than just starting off one or two provision stores.. Do you really know the value of Naija money?

Please if you don't have well laid plans and backup plans, save yourself regrets and stay back there!

This Person you quote nah SENEGAL E return frm,That is not applicable to those in the US and the UK.U go abroad even if U nor carry money come back at least carry passport come back so your children nor go suffer same faith as you did.

Wizard999:
good! Case closed!!!

Long time

Wizard999:
Canada? That will mean starting life afresh. The man is simply frustrated and wants to go home. How about he plans very well, invests wisely, then when profits start rolling in, he can go and visit those places.. $30k is a lot! Some millionaires today started with less than that. My advice to him is that he should plan scrupulously!

I cant see where OP said he was frustrated though!

mikolo80:
guy 8 years
with 30k savings
what have you been looking at
better find contract marriage to get green card or job to get h1 b visa

correct talk!

Wizard999:
do you have any problem with that?

Personally NO but I dnt take such people serious!

Wizard999:
lmao.. see gobe..so what is my original name?

so U join NL three days ago abi?

RaeMystix:
Okay. Got it.
Yes!....relocating to Nigeria has to take a well and carefully planned process, because it's quite difficult to start over again, if things doesn't work out as planned.
I although do know quite a few people that have relocated from the States to Nigeria and are doing just fine and if not better than they did when residing in Nigeria. They although did have a well paid job in the States, and also had better ones back home. But that's only a few percent .

That's it, you need a solid foundation b4 you relocate, cos if U rush in U will crash, your N50m will vanish jst like that.U take it in stages, the ideal age to relocate from the west is when your kids are in Uni.that way U gt nothing to worry about.

Wizard999:
what are you talking about? So you want him to remain there. Do you know what it means to live in s foreign land without resident status?. Some of you nairalanders are evil!..

Bravo lol Plz go bck to your original name and contribute, why the Alias?

Ralphdan:
Yes that right
Now am not saying that Nigeria is comfortable but am saying that No country is a heaven especially for the poor.
Don't you want Nigeria to be better someday or is it your children children that has the responsibility to make it better?

If you lived in the west you wont make such statement, Look at your leaders as we speak I take PMB number o ne citizen n Nigeria, I ran to London for treatment. The Only people who have same frame of mind like you did in that post I quoted are those from west Africa, plus are you not the same person who graduated 2012
S basically you got 5 years life experience correct??

RaeMystix:
Well, it does depend on each individual. Op seems to be someone who has a good support system back home, hence the somewhat confidence. If he/she could afford earning 2 degrees in the States, then the individual can afford a ticket back to the States if things doesn't work out as expected.

And you think people don't lie on Naira land? who in their rightful mind in the US will think .have you seen when he registered on here? Im jst commenting for others who a genuine in this situation not the craaaap OP is spilling up there, I know craap post frm a Mile away wen I spot on.

Alcatraz005:
Baba, I wan cut go the Americas but na money matter oooo. I just tire.

The bar for that level these days reach to start Biz Ohhh, nah God U go jst tie ur agbada join

bobkezel:
Before I came back home, I was discouraged by family and friends, no one was in support, but then I made up my mind already and I have a biz in mind. I made sure my visa was valid for at least 2yrs should in case I want to go back. I also made sure I had a standby cash apart from biz cash, so that I will be feeding myself, fueling my car and be solving other little problems from, I never touched my biz cash for complete two years, I was spending from the standby cash.
Op you can borrow a leaf from there, and also don't live in the ghetto part of which city u decide to settle down else u will be seeing only negative side of naija, and don't mingle with broke niggas, mingle with people a lil bit below you, same level and above you.
And cut down costs.
Plus, don't change all ur dollars at once change according to ur needs else u won't find it funny.

1st question, what country did U return from

Alcatraz005:
I don’t get your question.

Nor mind me Jor, I nor understand U nah now I get yu.

Alcatraz005:
Baba, God go do am for me too ooo. . I just tire but God dey jaree.

That country called Nigeria tuff pass Chinese film I S wear down

Alcatraz005:
Every sane person should have an exit plan. I just live in the country, my heart is not here anymore. At this point, I really don’t care what they do with the country anymore.

which country

9jaDoc:
Maybe he is facing jail for fraudulent green card marriage shenanigans

Kiah Una nor get chill 4 NL at all sam sam

MdRabx:
this is one of the returnee from Libya.. you better remain there and don't come

Enemy of progress

Alcatraz005:
Can you imagine? We that have graduated and are on the field are stating the fact but they think we are demarkeking the country. How long are we gonna wait for Nigeria to be better when thieving politicians and fraudsters make the rest of us look lazy? The things I hear of in this country on a daily makes me wanna teleport abroad. God dey sha. Things must pure!

Guy if U get chance to cut, cut sharp sharp, I left that 9ja after NYSC 1999,best decision of my life, lok now, I have relocated my family back to 9ja but at least we all get citizenship, we get free healthcare, travel anywhere in the world for holiday less question asked. I can work anywhere I chose and travel anywhere to do biz as I chose,
Truth be told, there is loads of Biz in 9ja and loads of money to be made BUT you need initial capital as a nobody and this can only be gotten by removing frm 9ja

RaeMystix:
Why are folks disturbing yourselves?. Op has been in the States for 8 years and earned 2 degrees. Can't you folks for one second think how Op got to the States?. You're advising someone who has a certain comfortable lifestyle awaiting him him/her in Nigeria, and also has a good chance of getting a lucrative job in less than 3 months upon arrival.

,
I tried to do that years back then I realized moving back is a gradual process, there are loads of stuff you need in place ,You wont 4give yourself if all of ur kids are not citizens of these countries you lived. Look at all the top politicians in Nigeria80% of them either have British or US citizenship!

Alcatraz005:
Don’t mind him. He must be suffering in Nigeria too but he wants company. I know people like him. If you are not a politician or a successful yahoo boy, you cannot enjoy Nigeria!

I just checked his profile and post, He is one small Boi like that, August this year he was asking of how to upload WAEC result, so he is not even gotten in a University yet

BluFlyBoy:
I plan on coming back with about 30000 USD and getting myself land/property to my name, complete NYSC, see what the job market is like as well as concurrently starting a one or two provisions stores. Slowly expand on that, with the end goal to become a distributor at the national level.

use that cash to do Biz there if indeed what you are saying is true.

Ralphdan:
Don't mind those who are telling you not to come back home.
There's no place like home and with your work experience and education you can get urself a good life here.
Its only the poor and ignorant who hates this country with passion.

Are you for real? Poor and ignorant people

ice4u999:
He will run out of MB before NEPA hit lolllll

Ahaha .

BluFlyBoy:
Greetings my fellow Nigerians. I'm facing the prospect of coming back to Nigeria after 8 years in the USA. I finished my post-graduate degree and I'm coming back with a Bsc, MBA and 2 years of work experience in the telecoms industry. I want to know from my people back home, how is the general national feeling, how they enjoy their lifestyle/quality of life and the hard-truths of what I'll be facing coming back as I've been so far removed from the national consciousness because I've been in the USA for almost a decade. I feel passion about my country and people but I need to know what too expect. So my people are you happy with life back home?

This guy what do U take us 4??with all that plenty degree U wan come B distributor ? ??plz change yoyr Igbo supplier

Thank God no live was lost.
But like I often say, No accident happens without the carelessness of the driver.
Either due to loss of concentration or the driver was not paying attention to detailed functioning of the car Or Both.
Contrary to what is generally perceived that most accidents are caused by over speeding, over 60% accidents are caused by loss of concentrations.- People have driven between 140- 180km/h and gotten to their destinations safely, while people have driven below 100 and gotten fatal accidents and died.

When behind the wheels, your Life is in your hands - Keep safe!¡

I take it you did not see the deep hole the car fell into . Is Tha t usual for such to be on a rd ? Can't U see how erosion cut half of the rd into deep partition ? What kind of concentration is going to prevent you from that ?

AdaFonju:
Shame, ph since 79 and u r talking of choba like its beside Abuloma, next time atleast google when you want to lie

AdaFonju:
