I'm making attempts to but i don't know the right way to go about this.
I don't want to fall into the hands of scammers.
I already applied for an international passport but I don't know the next step to take after that. I'm very mindful of scammers parading as traveling agents cos in my year two i lost some money while trying to leave for UAE.
And it was my fried who defrauded me with working visa and all that. Almost 400k.
Everything is confusing. I can get 10 million in cash if i,can liquidate everything i have but i don't even know what and what to do about the relocation plans.

Start by reading more and enquiring more; there are lots of information right here on Nairaland travel section and other great websites on the internet. You will meet lots of guys there, some exactly in your situation and you can connect with them. You can do it, you know, just requires effort and determination.

However,i strongly suggest you do everything yourself as there are lots of scammers out there waiting to devour you.

Don't give a Fucck about what people with holier than though attitude will tell you, they are some of the worst hypocrites on earth.

That said, if you are religious, depending on your faith, ask the almighty for forgiveness and move on, this will give you internal peace and quite.

As for how to use the money, I strongly suggest you emigrate to a developed country of your choice, its a decision you will be glad you made. I mean, hardship led you to it in the first place, now you are a bit comfortable, then leave this poor country. Disregard people who will tell you to start a business, economically speaking, you will face enormous challenges that could later be your undoing.

We'll see what will happen very soon

A ina ake zaman lafiya? A gidan ku? Or Nigeria at large? If you mean the latter then you are seriously deluded and have no idea what you are talking about.

You've spoilt her with money that's why she's now ambitionless.

Dump the hoe and date your level,man.

As harsh as this comment is I second it.

I really need wise counsel and will try to make this post as short as possible

My girlfriend and I have been together since 2015. I left Naija in 2017 and since then, our relationship has been more of long distance except for the one time I came back. While I truly love her and wish to Marry her, there are some things that are giving me concerns and I would like to hear other people's perspective:


1- When I met my girl in 2015, I was an unemployed graduate wrapping up my NYSC. She was a fashion designer/Tailor and didn't have any formal higher education (University Level).

2- Fast forward to 2021, I am a consultant in a fortune 500 company and have grown so much in any measurable aspect of Life. My girlfriend is still a fashion designer and not too long ago, I helped her get a shop in Lagos and Have been sending her steady allowance (at least average of 40-50k a month).

Here are the things that have given me a lot of worries:
1- I know everyone will not get a formal education and I am fine with that but my girl has not been hustling/pulling her weight in her chosen career despite my extra support.... I sometimes get the feeling that all she wants is to get married and get comfortable but I want an industrious woman. Formal education or not, I want a woman that can hussle!

2- Recently, I pretended to be unemployed because of Coronavirus just to see if she would send me some money (even if its 10k) or really, anything she can afford. Looking at the fact that I had always supported her month after month, I wanted to see if she would do the same for me.
I pretended to be unemployed for almost a month and did not receive any form of financial support from her. Even when I directly asked her to loan me small money, she would play it off by saying something like "I go write you check for 1 million sef".....

I am thinking of breaking it off at this point by slowly letting her go but before I do that, I want the perspective of people here.
Please, no insult! I am genuinely seeking your insight. Be kind!

ps.

My family are doing really well and I support anything they do. I have never neglected my family in anyway, shape or form. [quote]

I am no expert on relationship matters, but I suggest you look for a better fit, don't think you can force your girl do what she has no interest in, it will only end in tears.

And you know as they say better safe than sorry, marriage is for a lifetime.

Just around the neighborhood is the Edinburgh Conference Center. It has been turned into a mass vaccination center..

So far about 13+ million people in the UK have been vaccinated and our beloved country is fighting over who paid for paltry 1M vaccines for a population of roughly 150M people. God help us!

Just a quick correction: According to multiple official sources including the UN Nigeria population is estimated to be 205 million people( just estimates as nobody not even NPC or NBC knows the actual Nigerian population,if so, just tell me how such a country could address its challenges when it dont have data on the exact number of inhabitants living in its territory?).

Dude actually has an idea of what he is saying and I perfectly got his point. That's great man.

ebuka10box:

MufasaLion:
Birth certificate, state of origin certificate and NIN with 2 passport photograph.

How much does it cost?

tot:
Misinformed indeed. Anyway, as I said, it's your problem.

Madam we are talking about a country whose nearly half of its population live below a dollar a day. Haba! Not even the swiss or the Norwegians think about their country this way.

tot:
Your problem.

Na, I got no problems with you or your views and opinions, still doesn't mean I won't tackle misinformed notions though.

[quote author=tot post=98939734]That's your choice - you can stand on whatever you want to stand on, but you can't speak for anyone including whoever chooses to romanticize Nigeria. [/b]It is THEIR choice, deal with it [b] . [quote]Quite a ridiculous reply to be honest! Was actually expecting something constructive. Anyway, nice try though.

tot:
Your first comment: Didn't bother replying him. People like him are "disconnected from reality".
My point remains that you don't know his reality so you cannot say he is disconnected from reality.

I still stand firmly on my first comment. The way he was romanticizing Nigeria one would thought all is going smoothly with the country when even a blind man knows better.

When a rich guy sitting from the comfort of his sofa in Lekki or Maiatama paint Nigeria as some El- Dorado ,then, its obvious either they are being dishonest or are genuinely "disconnected from reality".

Of course, some are making it big in Nigeria, but proportionally speaking, they are a tiny minority , as the poor , who live hand to mouth constitute majority of the population.

Ever heard of income per capita or rather HDI? basically, it focus on the average citizen and his welfare. The average Nigerian lives hand to mouth aside enduring other government failure like poor public services and so on.

tot:
No, that's not true. You are the one that chooses to see it that way.

No, your whole argument revolves around the notion "but some people are thriving successfully in Nigeria" which wasn't even my argument let alone the point.

[quote author=ekerintee post=98938729][/quote]I suspect you are talking about mostly Eastern European countries and post-soviet countries, such as Georgia, Ukraine , Armenia e.t.c

But this wasn't the point and I never argued that anyway. Besides, no Well-informed Nigerian will make such an ill-thought out decision of migrating to a poor European country as its a dead end.

tot:
There are multiple meanings of the word fact:
1- the truth about events as opposed to interpretation.
2- information used as evidence or as part of a report or news article

By fact, I meant the first one. Despite the GDP and other figures you have posted (which are your own facts/figures re: no 2 meaning), there are people successfully thriving in Nigeria. That is a fact.

It seems you only choose what you want to believe. But nice try though.

ekerintee:
This is Just Western propanda ,un comparing naira and Dollar is wrong.its to Paint africa AS living in poverty.there are some countries in Europe where there are high rate of unemploynent,all the youth have migrated .The monthly wage in those country is less than 500 euros monthly

Can you name the country?

In

tot:
That doesn't change the fact that HIS own reality could be different from yours and still be accurate. You can't generalise and assume the country is one way for everybody.

No,it changes. Its called "fact" and facts don't care about ones opinions. Just to reinforce my position. Here are some fact pointing towards a bleak future for Nigeria.

•According to the UN about 83 million Nigerians live on less than a $ a day.
•Boko haram is currently the second most deadliest terrorist group after IS.
• According to the NBS, Nigeria unemployment stands at around 23%.
• the recent corruption perception index by TI ranks Nigeria 149 globally and second in west Africa.

I could go on on.

These are facts - which don't care about your opinion anyway.

And i am not generalising here. For one I never said all Nigerians are poor. It has never being the case in any country not even in the poorest country in the world - Niger, the elites are balling and rolling in $$, but it still doesn't negate the fact the masses are poor and living in abject poverty, aside other tough realities.

tot:
People's realities are different. That he has a different viewpoint does not mean he is "disconnected from reality".

You may be right in some way but in this case, realistically speaking, his stance is in direct disagreement with the present social-economic situation of this country.

I mean the country is performing poorly in almost every aspect, its obvious and crystal clear . The facts and stats says it all. Its not a matter of ones perspective or views, but more about what the facts and figures says - which are all pointing towards a bleak future for this country (I don't get any pleasure saying this ,ya know, but sometimes you've got to be honest with yourself)

Sugar-coating or romanticizing the realities of Nigeria is counterproductive and in the long run won't do anyone any good.

Draslo:
The people you safeguard your money with can represent you anywhere

They only represent but the money stays with the bank? Right?

Karleb:
Oga! Wetin you dey talk?

Didn't bother replying him. People like him are "disconnected from reality".

Draslo:
The idea of sending money home to family for projects such as building or buying a house is archaic. The bank will do the same for you without premium tears.

You mean the bank will build it and all one does is to pay for complete house of their choice ?

Gone are those days when the Brits and the world at large respect us . these days Nigeria had become a massive laughing stock - a joke of a country, nobody takes us seriously again

Bleiz:
Openly declaring it obsolete, isn't the solution to the many problems it poses.

What actions have they taken to back up their "obsolete" declaration?

Absolutely nothing concrete, just word of mouth - Declarations and vows, tells you everything you need to know about these governors.

Put legislative backing to the declaration, sensitise them, and create ranch villages/estates/clusters/zones/ for them in the North just as we have industrial clusters.

They actually know the best way to solve this issue but, considering the antecedent of this governors, they don't seem to care much about these brewing issue. They are only after their selfish interest.



That will be better.
