This is deep. I can understand your POV

frozen70:
Instead of paying small small to the owner of the salon where you want to run the apprenticeship

Why not open an account for that purpose and start saving for it

This is to avoid stories as things may change or plans may change and you can't get your money back

I have abandoned the plan ma because they don't accept payme nts in installments.

I was able to raise 6o thous and which i used to get a new phone on the 20th via easyb uy way (I'll pay 18 tho usand for 5 months)

Now, I need help on what to use the phone and do that will give me moni to complete paym ent for tge phone.. and also earn from their

I need doab le suggestions ma..

Why would you use your apprenticeship money to solve family problem.

Are your parents not working, don't you have other siblings,are you the eldest.

You are getting old,now,I got married at 26 years.

You're not the head of your family, don't use your apprenticeship money to solve family problems.problems nor they finish for this life

Are you the eldest

Yes. I'm the eldest

Celestialsword:
There's nothing one cannot do,if he focuses his/her mind on it.

How old are you.

You are on the right track.

How much is the money and what is the duration of the training

Save the money in a bank and when it is complete, you can pay it at once, instead of paying in piecemeal.

During the training, avoid anything that will make you not to complete it.

I'm 25. The money is 150k.

What if I use it for other family problems

I have been thinking over this issue for almost a week now but I can't seem to come up with any solution.

I decided to learn barbing from the best hands in my state as against coming to Lagos now. My initial plan was to learn it from now to December so that by January I'll come to Lagos as advised by some nairalanders. But the only problem I'm facing is that the apprenticeship fee is high, infact, I can't afford it to say the least.

So I decided to submit more CV and application letter. I submitted cv's to ten hotels and two filling stations on the 14th and 15th though I'm yet to hear from any.

If I'm hired anytime soon, my plan is to be removing 20k/25k from my salary and be paying it to the barbing salon every month so that when I'm done paying the apprenticeship fee by year end then I'll resign from the job and start learning the barbing work.

Is this a doable task? Can I achieve this?

Oga, before you travel to Ghana, how much do you have with you? So with all the states in Nigeria, it is Ghana you're thinking of. A country where some universities there are like some nigerian secondary schools. Ok, they have steady light and water, but do you know how much they pay for the basic amenities when you convert their currency to nigerian naira. with their good roads(there are still many bad roads), accidents still happen there.

Well, having been to the west african countries(Ghana, benin republic, togo)Nigeria is still the best west african country. In infrastructure, job, etc. They pay rent monthly but do you know what they pay monthly is what some people pay yearly in some suburban states in Nigeria. Dey play. Many nigerians don't pay for water if they have a borehole.

The irony is that even though their currency is higher, what you'll get there is practically the same amount or value you get for goods and services here in Nigeria. So you're practically losing your money being there.

Another thing is the language. Yes, Ghana is an english speaking country but just as most people communicate in pidgin here and still mix their local languages. It is the same in Ghana. If you're thinking of being away from family and friends, that may be a good reason but there are so many nigerians in Ghana that you may not really feel you're in another country.

Regardless, moving to Ghana should depend on your purpose and budget. You should have enough money for travel, accommodation, living expenses before getting a job or starting a business, else you'll join the train of nigerians living hand to mouth and robbing Ghanaians.

You say you want to save 200k to relocate. 100k may not even take you to Ghana.

Once I save tfare and some change, I must move to Ghana latest December this year

How much will you be getting as salary from fuel attendant?
Or you mean petrol station manager. For this second option you can quickly save up.

But if it's the first option it will take you appropriately 6months to a year to save that your 100k.

Learn a skill B4 going to Ghana. Example learning how to sew senator
Or learn modern furniture and upholstery making
If you are serious it can be learnt in 6months or less.
When you travel to Ghana attached to someone first ( tailoring shop or furniture shop) and aim at getting your own business up and running in next 6months.

It's pump attendant. Basic salary is 50k. The distance is trekable from my house.. I won't be spending on transport.

Morning shift is 6:30 to 1. Afternoon is 1 to 8

It will give me time to try out some other online hustle

If I work for six months it's okay..

Educationalserv:
O boy upgrade oooh

How

dhope:
Lol. I rejected offer of 670k net last month just because they're not ready to meet my demand and this coy is just a real estate firm on the Island.
That figure just look big but purchasing power is very low, thanks to hyperinflation created by economic policy of renowned APC economic wizard in power. Few years ago, I didn't believe people earn in millions until I changed my environment and that discouraged me to take lecturing job due to poor renumeration of lecturers.

What's your field of work? Or did you learn a skill?

rabiudon:
I work in Telecoms. Finance department. 40 per cent of staff earn above 600k.

Are they paid this money complete or what?

This money is huge. How do this telecoms company make the money?

erico2k2:
no one had it easy, every person had thier battles, nah your own you dey so,my advice for you is WIN IT

I understand. I don't ask for it to be easy. I just want to be seeing results of my hard-work.. and Nigeria won't let that happen.. hence my need to move

tochez240:
I have travelled to most west African countries and i will be very honest with you⚠️

West African countries like benin,togo,ghana,ivory coast, Senegal and so on are just like Nigeria bro.

But, they're slightly better than us in terms of steady light, good road and good water, security, even their currencies are higher than naira now.

Apart from all these i mentioned above, nothing else again.... they still have job scarcity like Nigeria,corruption like Nigeria, and all other vises Nigeria has.

However if you decide to move to ghana, don't expect your life to improve that much like someone that travelled to the UK or Canada... nah the same thing you see for Nigeria you go see there.

But you can go there, hustle small and move to another better country. Like they say, a journey of a thousand miles begin with a step. You can meet your helper there.

Please go there if you don't have any other option, it's still better than staying in a hopeless country like Nigeria⚠️

Thank you so much sir.. I have heard all you typed.

I don't need much. I just need to be ina working environment with peace and light. Ghana fits it for me.. Ghana will be my stepping stone to crossing over to higher countries.. amen.

From today, I have started saying money to travel to Ghana,.. once my money reaches 100k to 200k I'll leave immediately.. it's better to try and fail than not trying at all.

I asked because of this post https://www.nairaland.com/7684726/colorado-made-me-realize-say

I mean like if I smoke it, will it make me to feel happy and not worry about anything?

I need your opinion if you have traveled to Ghana before please

dawnomike:
You're 100k naira in Ghana will finish in a matter of days... Think it through

Please how much can I feed with daily there? And how much is there rent sir? I heard they pay rent everything month or so but also heard there currency is higher than naira.. if I'm making it there and send it back home.. it will be high na

erico2k2:
YOu would think,look at you talking, at least you have wifi and phones, so if I may ask what happened to you in secondary school?

Sorry if I'm imagining far sir.. I just think (from your posts) you had it easy or not so hard in life.. and I'm happy for you sir.. that's why I want to emulate you because you're a great motivator to me sir

I have my kpangala phone I use to cure depression.. no wifi o. I come on nairaland when I'm bored to read your comment and other knowledge people comments.. Lol.

I wrote waec and neco in 2018 and hustled to further my education. At first, I was seeing results but starting from COVID time, everything disappeared like film. I wrote jamb in 2020 no admission. After 2 or 3 years I wrote admission again and was admitted but no money so I dropped out.. as I'm not opportuned to go to school that's why I want to hustle and be financially free before 30

I don't want to go to Lagos again because of what I read here.. seems there's no opportunity for me there as I don't have B.sc certificate

I have already started planning my Ghana journey. I'll be submitting my CV for filling station work tommorow. once I start work and save like 100k to 200k (30 or 40k will be for transport), I'll travel to Lagos, and move from there.

I believe before 1 month time in Ghana, I'll get job or start doing menial works there.. (I'm okay with it as long as I have left my region and no longer in Nigeria)
How much (the lowest) should I budget for feeding and accomodation for the first one month?
