Please DON'T COME, especially if you're one of those who hate the Indigenous Lagosians AKA Yorubas.

Don't come, YOU WILL NOT PROSPER.

I don't hate Yorubas sir. Why do you say so?

PenpalOso:
A piece of advise, once you land, trash that your certificate, roll up your sleeves and plead with your uncle to take you to any main market so he can introduce you to a few people. Be ready to hustle like an illiterate undergraduate else na depression go kpai u for ur bros house.

What kind of hustle please?

iamjack0812:
Person sey him wan come Lagos una dey discourage am.
OP come Lagos asap and stop listening to people talking against your decision.
Both the sweet and bitter experience na only you go still enjoy am no be so?
Just don't come here later and start begging for cash to survive coz at 25 years old you can face your consequences be it sweet or bitter.
But pls try and learn a skill don't and never be tempted to a salary work o coz to stop am dey extremely hard o is good you start suffering for that skill immediately you land than joining any salary work and be paid by 50k-70k monthly that will kill your time,freedom and peace of mind well if you wake up by 4am to rush to work then you will understand what am saying.
Call that your uncle and beg him to put you for work(training) and suffer it like your life depends on it and be sure before coming down or if you can learn it at your end then fine and good am telling you the bitter truth of life

Is barbing enough skill to learn sir?

THELATTERMAN:
No, I can't. I don't have the time to create an account for you. But if you have valuable skills to offer, I can put you through the basics when you create an account.

I can write well. If I create account, can you put me through pls? I want to relocate to Lagos also

BrosG007:
Is it orile agege?

If that is your relocation plan, my brother, you go park go within 2weeks. Area is tough. Lagos is tough without someone to help. And trust me, if that your uncle is married, you won't find it easy. Woman don't like visitors especially from the husband side.

And about factory work, bro you fit do am? Morning and night. No overtime. Trekking. You go lean my brother. If be say you are coming to rent your own apartment, and like say you fit learn barbing. But if not, for now stay your lane. No rush life

Yes.. it should be. The one you can enter bus going to volks or alaba. There used to be a police station near the junction.

My uncle's used to live with his children. Most are married and the others in school. His wife base abroad.. we used to be close before she left.

Can I learn a very high paying skill in Lagos? What of high paying job?

I need your help please. I want to change location. I want to make move please

MrFourSHIRTS:
Please stay in the East, just today on front page one was caught trying to steal trying to steal car battery.
We have more than enough unwelcome developers and drug engineers already.
Keep Lagos safe

Let me call my uncle and inform him of my decision.

Once it turns positive, before month end I'll be in Lagos. Thank goodness he stays in a spacious 3 bedroom flat in orile.

Once I land, I'll desperately look for work. I'm 99 percent sure I'll make it in Lagos.

Firebox123:
link to the job advert maybe it's legit or not

Okay. let me look for it again

Firebox123:
Least payment for ssce is 50k and that if you see factory job

I saw a job advert on the job/vacancy section for factory work 7 to 5 (Monday to Saturday) for 100k. I feel it's okay for me. I wish I was in Lagos, I'd have taken it honestly

Good morning people. I noticed that majority of users on this site live in Lagos.

Most of my childhood friends have traveled to Lagos.

That aside, I want to relocate to Lagos. I have an uncle that used to stay in orile (2018).

I can camp in his house for the main time.

If I come to Lagos, can I get a job that can pay me like 100k and above every month. I have my waec and neco. I just turned 25.

I feel if I change environment, things will begin to go well for me.. and I heard there are lots of jobs in Lagos.

Here in the east, no work or company. Only Keke bus business that's thriving

Please can I make it in Lagos? I need suggestions. This is a life changing decision please

Good morning sir. I'm interested but I stay in the east. Can I come over to Lagos since accomodation will be provided?

malakiMal:
Hey guys,

I’m in a very tricky situation and I need some advice from people here from different walks of life before I make my decision.

I’m currently in Canada 26 years of age, and in a serious dilemma.

I’m currently trying to get PR and it seems I have a couple of options with its own uncertainty pros and cons, and I need advice from you guys after getting advice from a lawyer.

My base CRS points is 476

And I have a few things I can do to circumvent this low score:

1. Foreign Work Experience:
I have 7 months of valid work experience in Tech in Nigeria, but that’s the problem… it’s just 7 months and I need a full year. But I also did NYSC and have access to a person at my PPA that can give me reference letter, and have all documents I need to support my NYSC experience. But I wasn’t paid for the NYSC except the government pay of 33k. My lawyer said NYSC can’t be used to claim foreign experience but I’ve heard stories of people using theirs. So I wanted to ask if anyone here has successfully used NYSC **Recently** to get PR. This would bring my points to a respectable 526.

2. Marriage
This I really don’t want to do, but I have a child coming (Canadian citizen) with a woman here. The pregnancy was a mistake but she wants a child so she kept it and I also agreed to help out. I don’t like her enough to marry her, but seeing my circumstances I might be forced to. She really likes me and I think I can convince her to a marriage, but this is not something I would like to do ATALL. Lawyer said it’s my best chance since we already have a kid together, it’s almost a slam shut case I would get it with this route. But the girl is very bipolar, she can switch up at any moment and lawyer warned me that her switching up could also hurt my chances as much as it can help my chances.

3. Refugee
This is the worst option, as I went to undergrad school in the UK, did nysc, worked in Nigeria and moved to Canada. It will be very hard to argue that I had issues, but mehn I need anything at this point.

4. Go back home & get the remaining 5 months experience
We all know how Nigeria is, this is a death choice, I’m basically giving up with this option. But I have 7 months of foreign experience right now, I can go back to Nigeria and find work for the remaining 5 months (gods willing) and then apply with my points at 536, and I will have to wait for ITA in Nigeria. This is most likely the safest option but the most mentally devastating one.

Please folks I NEED your advice as I only have 8-9 months left in Canada, time is running out and I need something to use an option and stick to it, but I’m not sure which route to go.

Thank you!

Don't panic. God will guide you through.

Please how did you leave Nigeria? And how much did it cost?

otipoju:
Have you learned any vocational skill.
Have you attended any formal school and have a certificate attesting to your education in any field?

Do you have any skill that is of any use to the world?

If so, where have you tried to get a job.

Celestial church of Christ is blessed with a lot of good prophets and the essence of Prophecy is to provide guidance for you future steps and prayer points to eradicate the influence of any negative influence that may be stunting your progress.

However not all problems are spiritual

I have no skill and I don't have any certificate sir but I have waec and neco sir. I have worked four to five different works but at the end I'll use the money to pay bills and solve problems.

I haven't done anything tangible in my life. I'm tired of being a failure sir. I want to figure out what's wrong so that I can put my life in order.

Spiritual rules the physical. It's better for me to make a move now to avoid wasted efforts sir

Sunnyrado:
Yes they work, where are you located

Imo. Nekede sir. I really need to know what's hindering my progress

Tolu2024:
Go and give them the remaining money you have and nothing will change .

Nobody can pray their way out of poverty.
You need improve yourself and circle ⭕️.

Talking from experience
Spent over 500k in different cele last year nothing works.

Not that I even have money to give them.
I mean just to know if I'm having any spiritual hindrance. Since I turned 20, all my labor has been in vain. Wasted efforts upon wasted efforts..

ericmor:
I don’t think so because traveling abroad now requires lot of funds due to the exchange rate and we all know what’s going on in the country right now. C.O.S is expensive now because we are talking about nothing less than 9-11m and some believe if they get that, why will they travel. You can only get a lesser amount C.O.S with no job which is not advisable for you that don’t have people in the uk. Even the information I’m giving out is also money now because most traveling agent will not even answer you if you don’t pay some fees. There is USA of 3.8m though which a friend did through an agent but I wouldn’t advice you anyone to do such with someone you don’t know directly

Good morning sir. Thank you so much for taking your time to dish out this advice. I really appreciate sir.

On the issue at hand sir, my mum is a landlady, is it advisable she borrow money and use her landed property as collateral (though the property is in my name)

I ask because I have an uncle from my mum's side in Germany. I don't know if the embassy will allow him bring me in if I pay for my flight ticket

But if it doesn't work, I can still try the USA route you said. I only need a pointer to which route to follow. My mom can get a loan if need be.. we have discussed it already.. I'm really desperate sir because I'm her only son and just wasting away in this country..

What do you have to say sir? Sorry for long note sir

erico2k2:
That will be difficult, you need money. School route is the easiest, that in itself needs money so you got to start hustling.

Good morning sir. Please can you suggest any good hustle that can enable me save enough money before that time. I ask because you'll know more than I do as per my senior and your years of experience.

I hope you understand sir

erico2k2:
Yes you are right, I hope your dream and wishes come true for you, it is not easy in Nigeria, I always ask myself how people meet up when I go home.

Thanks chief.

Please what country would you suggest for someone with no funds and travel history. I'm 25 but I want to start working and saving towards it before 30.

For long, I've been hearing that cele church and sabbath sees what's wrong in someone's life.

Which makes me to ask, do these churches really work?

Like is there any strong church I can go to and the cause of my problems will be revealed?

I want to go spiritual and find out what's causing disappointment and setback in my life. I'm 25 and don't have a job or single penny in my account. I know something must be wrong somewhere.

I need suggestions please

erico2k2:
Bro I dont know how long you have lived abroad, but I have lived abroad for up to 25 years, So I know what I am talking about.
Those things you listed are No stress, check what I listed, those are stress.

I believe you're in your early forties to mid fifties. You were opportuned to escape the country when it was much easier.

That's why I'm fighting tooth and nail to travel abroad. God in his mysterious ways will surely do it for me, Amen.

erico2k2:
I told you B4 you was ignorant, that's my passport, and my window, where did you think I live
To prevent embarrassment, invest in a better phone so you can at least check people well B4 you make silly assumption, now plz run along and play with your mates or better still foxtrot Oscar

My Chairmannn!!

God has blessed you beyond measure. Enjoy!!

Emmy000seun:
Bro it's your choice, like try and fall in love first with one of my stated profession regarding car..if it's a car panel or painter..or if it's mechanic..you know choosing a profession takes having zeal, motivations..then push forward and take step asap.. am talking to you from experience..can't explain all by typing

Ok. Thanks

As a 25 year old school dropout, what will I gain after learning wielding work, and how long will it take me to be perfect in it?

Are there future prospects?

Is wielding hot cake?


I'm an only son. I don't want to waste my time learning something that's of no use.

I need insightful advice and suggestions

Emmy000seun:
Instead of learning welding job, why not try car panel or something relating to car??,(rewire,panel, painting, mechanic)..this are skills to you won't regret..giving welding sight perspective tho 👌

Pls expatiate more sir. Do you mean car painting, car rewire, car mechanic?

If yes, which should I go for between car painting, car rewire and car mechanic?

How much is premium vpn?

The premium vpn is not the name .. by premium vpn I mean a very good VPN. Only few vpn apps are strong for survey.

Most of the good VPN, there monthly subscription cost from $10 to $20. Just do your research

Psalmspsalms:
As God would have it, I came here for my NYSC since 2021, finished mid 2022. Started teaching and hoping to get a job soon. Got scammed of 350k I saved from teaching. It wasn't easy as bonny is really so so so expensive. A single room with just a toilet for the whole compound goes for as high as 160k and selfcon as high at 400 to 450k. As God would always have it, I just got a contract job of 300k monthly with money for weekly feeding, money for monthly medical, coastal bus for transportation and end ofñthe year bonus of 900k. Isn't God wonderful?

I tap into this

Psalmspsalms:
The work is more for skilled workers. Pipe filters and argon welders take about 500k with other benefits. Scalfoldders, electricians, riggers and others take about 250k or more with other benefits. Bonny is a local government in rivers state. Crossing the sea to this place from porthacourt is about 1hr using speed boat

Good morning sir. Please can a 25 year old learn wielding?

Fab21:
Pls, I'd be glad if you can explain to me how the survey works...

I'd have loved to explain to you but time may not permit me as my sis wants to take her phone.

To earn from survey, you need to have a phone with good ram and premium vpn.. though there are some surveys that will come up that do require laptop.

If you have phone and money for premium vpn for a good VPN app, then you're good to go.
