This is [s]my problem with most men. They don't learn from peoples experiences. They think their own case will be different. You want to tread pathways others did and regretted. From the comment section i can already see you're making noise that when things go south between you two then her conscience should be the judge. By then it might be too late, and you might be contemplating suicide. Foolish man.
Better focus on yourself and leave that pretentious woman to her own fate here in Nigeria. If you must Marry her never take her to canada. Leave her in the village with your parents.
What is wrong with men of today? Why are they not putting themselves first in everything.
Indeed masculinity has gone to the dogs.

Please OP don’t listen to this saddest advise. Is Very wrong to write off ALL WOMEN just because you had bad experience with ONE WOMAN. If every women narrate their bad experience with men you will SHUT-UP

I saw this post on LinkedIn and I felt I should share to encourage everyone is a testimony on grass to grace.

I went for an interview at UBA. Immediately I stepped in, I felt defeated already. You know why; I wasn't having the best outfit. My shoes were filled with dust like a man that works in the quarry. My socks, hmmm! A story for another day. I sat down quietly waiting for my turn. While sitting, I was praying, 'casting and binding,' in tongues.

Lord, do it for me! Lord do it for me!! I sent a message to Adebayo Adegun (The Impacter) on WhatsApp and asked him for some interview tips. He gave me some pointers. I digested them all.

When I got into the interview hall, I saw two recruiters (a male & a female). The male made a mockery of my outfit. He asked, "Bros, na farm you come from? This your outfit no be for here o. �

I giggled. You can't shame the shameless. I stylishly told him I came in my best clothes. And that's why they must employ me so I can be a fashionista like Tony Elumelu. We both laughed and the interview started. I answered all the questions thrown at me. Thanks to Adebayo. At some point, they had no question again. So we started talking about my childhood days.

The interview I almost gave up on turned out to be my best. And you know why; the interviewers made it easier for me.

God bless them wherever they are. I left knowing I would be called for the job. A month later, I was called for the role. But I had already gotten a remote job as a copywriter with an American company. So I politely turned it down.

It's amazing how our life can change in a second. This picture reminds me never to give up. From feeling like a failure in 2017 to getting an international job.

And now, I have created a Copywriting Academy in 2022 to help ten people leverage the internet.

No matter what life throws at you, never give up. You are always a second away from your breakthrough. Keep believing!

Indians and Nigerians can do desperate waka just to get to a foreign land.

Well said, since am connecting from from Frankfurt to Paris, France main destination, so I can use the flight reservation be that , since I will only transit through Germany not coming out of airport

Yes you are good go

Engrpj:
200 to 300k mean you are paid well? Don't deceive yourself. I get paid above 600k, other bonuses and allowance exclusive but I don't think I will still be in this country by the end of 2023.

Save enough and jet out of this country once you get the opportunity. Nigeria has no future.

Make sure you move with your entire families abroad and never come back since Nigeria does not have future. When you get there come back to Nairaland and advise us not now that you have not had the test of abroad by visiting there

Newsolutions:
Your first point of call should be the country that gave you visa, you need to use the country's airline or any other non European Airline. If you fly in from Germany, France will deny you visa next time. Call Luftansa Airline to confirm this if you doubt me

If he use a connecting flight from Germany to France because he uses Lufthansa airline, No issue. He will have issue if he travel direct from Nigeria to Germany as his final destination without first landing in france, connecting flight is not first point of call. He must not use country airline that gave him visa, that is misinformation afterall you are still at the airport environment till you connect to your flight. I guess you did not understand what Lufthansa airline said. Every country airline land in their country before connecting their verious passenger to their final destinations and embassy is aware of that.

Itodojohn1119:
I have brother there so I travelled there spent some time there with that my brother

You travelled there and BOOM they gave you passport no so edey easy
It appears to be fake, they will not only seize the passport you will be thrown into prison. If you know what is good for you hide that passport.

benpedro:
You really want me to help you fix Nigeria when you intentionally voted Buhari, a man who couldn't present his certificate in 2015 election, simply because he is a Fulani muslim with a yoruba VP? You rejected world class minds like Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and Peter Obi because they're Igbos.
2023 is on the way and you're already gearing up for Tinubu a Muslim. � Go to most federal agencies and you'll be shocked at the level of nepotism going on there. Sir, Nigeria belongs to the educated Muslims/northerners and we're now leaving it for them to do as they please. Have already received my citizenship here where they don't discriminate against me because I'm igbo and guess what, I only enter Nigeria with my foreign passport ���

Point of correction I am a typical IGBO Biafra for that matter and ready to vote any competent Nigerians who can lead this country forward and when it comes to issues concerning Nigeria I don't do political or tribal sentiments. You are busy deceiving Nigeria youths to leave the country because they voted Buhari as if travelling abroad will solve Nigeria problems.
You enter Nigeria with a foreign passport .... story for the goats. Why did you even entre Nigeria again when you done Japa finally. Having a foreign passport doesn't make you a first class citizen there and they still see you as Nigerian! You know what you get when you mention that word Nigeria to a foreigners? This is as the result of Nigeria youth disgracing Nigeria abroad with illigal activities because they want to Japa by all means .

niran09:
you mean to say recent appointment dates are opening up for regular? i thought we only had dates in 2023 2024

Yes is opening up as some people have canceled their appointment to apply for IW , interview date open up you can even get next month but not stable

benpedro:
I left Nigeria in 2015 and it was the best decision I've ever made in my life. The peace of mind, clean environment, water, food, health care, being surrounded by civilized people, no generator noise and a better future for your unborn kids. Did I forget to mention that this is my 7th year here and I've not taken any malaria pill! Like the posters above advised, that your 300k salary is nothing compared to the peace of mind you'll get abroad. And what is more, you'll earn more if not more than double what you currently earn . So bro, if you're not an educated norther/Muslim find a way and leave that God forsaken country as soon as possible. Do not procrastinate!

How much are you earning currently and how much do you spend ? Yes they have better environment and you have peace of mind but not 100% (racist ) meanwhile most Nigerians are not travelling for peace of mind, they want greener pasture and is not as easy as you said otherwise Nigerians wouldn't be committing crime abroad.
I weep for this country because the youths that supposed to take over government and fix the country are the one running away and keep blaming the old people in leadership forgotten that the youths contribute to the development of that country they are running to. Our mumu suppose don do by now

Soraco57:
Morning, I want to appreciate u guys that gives me insight into these French application yesterday, I thank u. There is these 6 pertinent questions I want to ask .

, I use this the Lufthansa for my flight reservations as am going to France , I will be having few hours layover in Frankfurt before flying to France, on the application form they ask, where is the first Schengen state person go first reach or touch, what’s the answer , is it France or Germany as France is my main destination.

2. They ask surname name at birth ( former family name(s) , I never change surname ever , will I put my surname there or not for that option

3 Number of travel documents, what does it means , does it mean by passport number or number of my passport pages

4, current occupation, I owned the company I work as a sole proprietor, i deal in real estate and travels , please do I choose company manager or director , as I do not see real estate consultant there, am self employed o

5, member state of the main destination, I am going to France but passing through Germany, I think France main destination right ?

6, means of support for 7 days tourist , is it cash, travelers Chequers, prepaid transport etc which one is the best


I need help on this o, please

1. France is your main destination, that is where you will get to first before traveling to other Schenge country if you have such plan , they are not asking for layover destination .
2. This is mostly question for married women who change her surname. If you haven’t change your surname still use same
3. Your passport number.
4. As the owner of your company you are Director.
5. France
6. Cash , Prepared transport (flight) and prepared accommodation (if you have accommodation already)

BrodaAgbaya:
Hi guys,

I was planning to travel out to UK, Germany or any other stable European country for my Master`s by September of this year of which i will be able to raise 2million from my pocket and then borrow about 2/3million from a person i know for some fees then get there are do part times jobs to complete my tuition fee.

After some thoughts, i realized this wasn`t a really smart move cos i have a good job here in Nigeria where I'm paid above 200k each month, This will increase to above 300k in the next 2months still with some bonuses.

Is there any sense in dropping all these to go to a place of uncertainty and start leaving from hand to mouth cos i`d be struggling to pay my debt and tuition??

One of the driving forces towards wanting to travel out is the fear of 2023 elections and the fact that many of my friends we finished together are all travelling out. Yeah, i know the second reason doesn't make sense, but that`s just me being honest here.

My plan now is to keep working here in Nigeria probably for about 3/4 years more, live the baby boy life, develop relevant skills then get a job over there or go for an MBA. 3/4 years from now i should have saved more than 2million for travel.

Also note i will be turning 26 towards the end of the year, so i think there`s still a bit of time on my end.

I need advice from you guys, is this a sensible idea putting into consideration things that could go wrong pre/post elections, the current standard of living in Lagos and the current and future exchange rates.

I have noticed the crazy rush to leave the country among we youths but i have also noticed that those that have good paying jobs in multinationals, fintechs, banks, govt etc are not bothered about leaving the country. Also noticed most of my friends who left were all earning less than 100k in salary.

Please tell me what y`all think??

Mods in case reactions are much, abeg push to Front page

Why are you afraid of 2023 election? Did you foresee any war? Hope you are not a prophet of doom or rather using this as an excuse to Japa.
Well in this era of remote work I don’t see any reason why people still want to enslave themselves in a foreign land . My advise is to develop yourself on any remote work skill and live comfortable anywhere you are.
Don’t let anyone deceive you is raining everywhere. There are homeless people in USA, Paris etc I have seen.
Listen to foreign news like Ajazera and EuroNews . Travel to visit the country you wish to migrate to before you make that decision to avoid engaging yourself to illegal means of survival.
My 2 cents

Person wey make 12 million in Nigeria �� Suppose think of visiting abroad for holiday not just to Japa for greener pasture wey him no go see there . Is raining everywhere

gosky1:
Thank you for responding but you didn’t answer my question please. Can a person that got his visa from Abuja apply for IW in Lagos ? I can see Abuja applicants and Lagos applicants so I need to be sure of what I’m doing.

Choose where to book your interview for non appearance IW like the way you select location for interview it doesn’t matter the location where you previously got the visa , currently only Lagos is open for interview waver IW

Adex3mj:
pls I want to explain Bette why I shouldn't use her IV

Let me explain based on my experience and we are here to learn . Personal IV alone is not accepted by French embassy the lady need to add what is called ‘’ attestation’’ in French which she will get from local government area where she reside and French embassy will never disclose that to the applicant on refusal letter. You will keep applying with IV alone and keep getting denied.

The only IV acceptable without any other form of additional request is conference IV etc

Gentlesoul3268:
I think cash and credit card is the mean to support

Yes both are main but some people don’t have dollar card to withdraw abroad for that they go with cash , Flight booking is your prepaid transport and your hotel accommodation is paid before your arrival.

Timblogga:
Oga, it’s like you work in Immigration. I’m not paying anybody 40K. I will carry the print out to the place. Any money I give them, if they don’t collect I will use spy camera and fish them out.

I wish this work to fish the criminal out. Corruption in the government offices does not have part two

Donbaba123:
Please is this correct?

You are in order

Adex3mj:

Note my passport will expire in October 2022..am thinking maybe I should renew my passport first

If you want to get the visa, Do not use her invitation letter apply directly for tourist, book hotel reservation use the address do not add her to your application. E get why

One warrior like that have forgotten his name, he was pinned to death while asleep by a woman
Holofernes and invading general of Nebuchadnezzar ( was beheaded by a woman)

TOTOnigga:
I know this is not the right section for this but I feel enough people should have their say in this topic, so mods please, just be understanding for we all are nothing but pencils in the hand of the creator...

I'm sure we all know and have heard of legendary Chinese movie actor "Jackie chan" ?
I once read somewhere on the internet where he once said that when he dies, his money and wealth will not go to any of his children that he is going to will everything to charity so that his children can learn to make their own money in life and not be dependent on his, something like that...

I've heard my dad often say something similar too.. He normally tells us of how he trained him self through out his university days without the help of anyone and that we should not depend on his wealth because he might surprise us, that when he dies, he might sell all his properties and look for one Church to give all his money that we should go and work for our own (I know he is indirectly talking to me as the first son).. I'm not saying people like my father or Jackie chan are bad parents but here are my questions

Is it really necessary ? Or is it the right way to teach your children?
If you had a dad like the aforementioned, would you allow such ?

This can only happen if your parents do not see you as a responsible son, he is indirectly telling you to stop being lazy and start using your money sense. Is so annoying to see some guys relying on their parents wealth. Your parents will respect you more if you are a hustling type respective of their wealth
