For a woman, it's a yes as long as you have money.They don't really care as long as money dey
As for me,it is a no

I believe we all have standards when it comes to choosing our life partner, most especially men that have hustled hard to make it and finally want to settle down and you want the best mother/father for your unborn kids. So if you find love in someone that has no educational background (only primary school) would you still go ahead and accept him/her to be your life partner or you just use them for the moment till when you finally meet someone of your standard?

It is said that a child's height comes from his dad and intelligence is gotten from his mom.

It is goes beyond being able to conceive. If, as a man, you're the breadwinner of the family, in all likelihood, your woman would have more contact with the kids than you would.

Imagine your hear your wife teaching your child, K for Kabbage.


Can a person who's not educated and exposed enough stand for you as a man when you're not there?

Imagine you have a Masters in Petroleum Engineering and you have some colleagues over for dinner and they try to engage such a wife in conversation?

It's gonna be a disaster of epic proportions.

Apart from that, how do you engage your wife in conversation? It means that a large chunk of the common ground education would have provided won't be available for you guys to connect on.

How can share stories about adventures in school, friends you made, wicked lecturers, difficult courses, and the like?

I could love someone from a distance. But wifing a lady... hmm, that's a big, lifetime decision that I won't take very lightly. Of course, her education has to come into play.

I'm not a fan of using people. If I know I don't have you in mind long term, I'll clear you from the get-go. No use getting someone's hopes up.

But God forbid, if I'm forced to marry someone like that, she's going to continue her education in my house, as a distance learning, part-time student until she gets all her degrees in order.

If she doesn't like this plan, then we're definitely not compatible at all.

See topics like these are what I like to add my own cents to.

First of all before you think of relocating to another country you need to plan real good.

If I should be honest with you the 6 months time range you can make it happen but depending on the country of your choosing.

If I will advice you of countries to relocate to these will be my best options for you.

Luxembourg
Sweden
Finland
China
Norway
These countries are my top choice
Second choice
USA
Canada
Australia
Mexico.

So haven't did that I will add this for you..

6 months won't be enough to get you to any of these countries minimum time u need 1 year minimum and it depends on the rout you taking and how you go about it.

I live in America ND America is a good place except for it drugs challenges and gun violence and some policies they implement in their government system of rulership.

My advice take your time plan not just for your self but for your son. What opportunities are you going to expose him to and how best to achieve this..

I relocated to USA in December 2019 and it's the best decision I ever made.
The only thing be say I dey try as much to avoid problems much as I can.
Reason be say anybody for America u wan fight, 98% chance say your opponent get gon chucked in his body somewhere and won't even think twice to empty the clips on your body dem no sabi use hand to hand fight here na gun them know and you can get guns easily here like say na garri u dey go buy for market.

I do have a gun myself but legally for protection and I don't walk with it I keep it at home Incase somebody try to break into my place. In summary na for protection.

Things are hard everywhere for America right now we dey recession too but still on that I dey see 3 square meals eat easy. I dey fit save even if na $20 monthly after all my expenses which includes helping family and friends back home monthly but I don learn to dey give with wisdom sine I now have a child.

To sum it up for you bro.. if you decide to choose the American route, from my experience it will take you nothing less than 1year and 4 months minimum so the earliest you start the better. Still on still the way us embassy dey deny visa now days dey fear me.
My kid bro was denied visa the truth be say na to prep yourself go well because e their questions is phycological u need to be smart to not losegard they ask same questions twice in different approach and you give two different answers you done DENIED VISA..
You have to get your shit right B4 u go by prepping well. Hopefully he will still try again I know people who go like 3 times B4 dem grant them visa mine was one try I got mine. So with some of my friends I helped to get here.

I will always say this... I know of person very close to me wain only sabi say him papa name for English the rest na hand him take demonstrate and dem give am visa ooo. All you need is confidence and prep well for your interview..

And finally before I exit the floor bro you can relocate with your son via study visa to come study ND find your self a job placement to sponsor you for job employment visa ND you good to go. You bring your son with you as a dependant. Very easy just apply for am along with you.

U no need millions to relocate to America but you just need the right information which you have Google for unless you need professional assistance which you can get if you have the right info..

Last last you go dey alright if you are able to make it here. Talking from a guy who came to America with just $250 in his pocket without knowing anybody. And it's the best decision I ever made..
I hope this my one cent was able to help the best way.
If you need more info feel free to reach out I will be glad to assist the best I can.

Hello Nairalanders,

Please I need people with first hand experience to advise me on the best country that I can legally relocate to in the next 6 months with my son (Not UK pls). I was planning towards December 2024 initially but the situation of things in the country currently has made it become a thing of urgency, before the small savings I have is totally wiped off with forex and inflation rates.


I would really appreciate suggestions/recommendations.

Thank you.

If you have the opportunity to travel to the UK do it, don't let these Nigerians deceive you, they would always bring up stories to confuse you

MemoriesAndMe:

You are correct, many people will prefer living in the UK or the US Nigeria, mainly because their currencies are not devalued, healthcare, education and security are intact, but they are paid for by people living there.

It's not just the rent, you pay for additional amenities and that quickly gulps your income, making it impossible to save there sometimes.

So, those in Nigeria are lucky because rent is cheap, but lack of basic amenities is why some folks have decided to stay put in those countries.

No one wants to walk around with fear of being kidnapped when that's not common where they're coming from, and they can't rent a cheaper place in Nigeria where it's more difficult to get a job.

jedisco:


If Nigeria is cheap, why do we have a huge chunk of people classed as poor.
The sticker price paid for an item means little. Relative affordability is important.

Samade7:





Kudos bro for saying the truth.......u deserved to be awarded as one of the only faithful Nigerians.

thebosstrevor1:


there is a reason many Americans are travelling to Mexico and other south American countries, Thailand or even China, the reason is simple for cheaper cost of living, many of them understood that their dollar is worth more in those countries, they could earn 1k and live like a king there.

i love cheap places, low tax and good salary is all i care about.

deewhydoski:

Stop converting to naira, the person staying in UK is not earning in naira but pounds.

aktolly54:
Op at least you make more than 100GBP per day from 2-3 jobs per day. That means within a week, you make your house rent for the month. Is still OK compare to Nigeria.

thebosstrevor1:
Someone is paying 800k per year for a 1 bedroom flat here in a good area in Nigeria.

A 2 bedroom goes for 650k to 700k per year in a not so good area.

A 3 bedroom goes for 1.2 to 1.5m per year in a not so good area here in Nigeria.

Nigeria is cheap
