I’m currently studying for my first degree in Statistics. I can graduate with a 2.1 effortlessly, but getting a first-class would require a bit effort. My issue is that I’m already balancing a job, plus I’m feeling lazy and unmotivated about school.

For those who have graduated and have experience about the labour market, please:

Are there any significant advantages to having a first-class over a 2.1?
Did it make a difference in your career, further studies, or job opportunities?

I need real-life experiences and opinions to convince me whether to put in the effort or just avoid unnecessary stress.

If you can please please do...it could be your ticket out of 9ja or a better life in 9ja.

My dad never paid my tuition fees all the way from primary school to university. When I was going to university, I didn’t go to university in Nigeria. He practically told my mom not to waste the money and she should use it to build house in the village. When I say useless, I mean useless. Of course he can’t call my phone cause he knows what he will receive.

God bless my dad, I and my brother are who we are today because of the sacrifices of my dad and mum. Na why i no dey wait make in ask before I credit in aza. A man who would go naked just to see us through school. I love you dad.

At the end of it all, this means an Unbreachable Security is just a facade. They will tell someone, do this certification, do that one.

Now, their corperate enterprise system has been broken into through unauthorized means.

The best way to keep being friends with your rich friends is to treat them like they don't have money. Be blind to their money.

This will also work for famous friends too.

If you need financial help, go sort yourself.

Ask yourself, if he no dey alive, you no go survive?

I swear, you too much my guy

...Seeing all this, I realized that moving out of Nigeria was definitely possible. So, I carried on with my life, but I started focusing more on Nairaland. If you’ve been following me, you’d know I used to be very active on different threads there. I was into the Thabo trend, the Poland trend, and even the Ukraine trend at one point. I explored anything that could help me leave Nigeria.

I wasn’t just following the popular routes; I also looked into countries most Nigerians weren’t considering. I got involved in the Estonian trend, and that’s where I met a guy called Bola Mike. Even though I didn’t have the money, I thought it was wise to gather as much knowledge as possible so that if I ever got the funds, I’d be ready to make a move. That’s exactly what I did.

In early 2019, I joined an Estonian group and learned how people were leaving Nigeria with as little as two million Naira. With that amount, you could pay your school fees, visa fee, and even a flight to countries like Russia or Israel for a visa interview. But getting two million Naira was no small feat for me. Still, I made sure I had the knowledge about various routes, like Brazil, the UK, Estonia, or wherever.

I was also very active on the Polish thread. But all this just goes to show how much effort I put into understanding the process of leaving Nigeria.

I'll begin my story from 2017 or so when my uncle first travelled to the US...

In 2017, my uncle was able to move to the U.S., and at the time, I never thought it was something that could happen. I always saw moving out of Nigeria as just a dream—something impossible, especially without any financial backing. My plan was simple: finish school, get a job, and maybe, just maybe, something might happen in the future. But the idea of actually leaving Nigeria felt out of reach because it was so expensive.

When my uncle left in 2017, it really opened my eyes. Even though he left on a visit, and I won’t go into much detail about that, it changed how I saw things. Now, he has permanent residency there, and that experience made me realize that living outside Nigeria is actually possible.

lol. Don't mind how it sounds. I am a software developer, but I am starting the course in January. You can never be jobless as a digital marketer . Digital Marketing includes, Copywriting, web development, email marketing, social media marketing etc. The course is too loaded bro

Did you just say Digital marketing includes web development Baba calm down, you're not a software developer

Get married to my girlfriend of 8 years. That girl believed so much in me during my dark years of unemployment. Even my own blood brother was part of the people that mocked me.

If you have a good girl, you don't know what God has done for you.

Karleb:
Omo! We save no more jobs in tech we don't talk about how the interest to code have greatly reduced.

Some years ago, this post would have had lots of interactions.

The barrier getting Into tech as a Nigerian living in Nigeria is now very high. You have to provide Electricity, Data, feeding etc for yourself for you to learn how to code. The pai full aspect is that as long as you do not have someone who will at least take care of your bills for the 6 to 8 months you intend to use for coding classes, you can never achieve your goal.

Karleb:
I think that is pounds.

Naira is really useless. Anyone who cares about their future should be looking into how they can earn in hard currencies, it does not matter if the journey will take years.

This country may never get better.

My brother ... I don't see Nigeria ever getting better.

Please let us take these baby steps of pain with love. Baby steps of pain.
Tinubu has sacrificed a lot including his comfort to make Nigeria great.
Let's support him, pray for him to succeed. He is our son and in yoruba land we do not throw away our son with the bath water. No matter what he is our son and he must complete his 8 year tenure.

Secondly I want to sound this as a note of warning to all Northerners. Any protest against our illustrious yoruba son will be met with a superior fire power. The Army, Navy, Airforce, DSS are all at alert to take out ur miserable lives if u dare any rubbish against our son. Buhari was there for 8 years u people didn't do shit and u wanna try ur shi with a yoruba man? Nah!

Even if fuel is sold for 5k a litre, it's still the cheapest in Africa.

Let's join hands to support Tinubu!

You're the biggest fool that ever liveth!!

shomutuski:
Bro I read on reddit one time how the powers that be brokered a deal to allow dangote build a refinery only if he buys oil from US market, the same powers that prevent Nigeria from achieving its potential in both stream sectors so we always have to export and refine our petroleum products - the worst part is that our founding fathers are in cohorts with this, as long as they get paid.

Destroying the dreams of millions for greed, when the country can become a wakanda sort of in Africa.

The best decision I made was leaving Nigeria and I would never return because it pains me so so much how our potential is been wasted, like literally you need to come out here to see basic shiii that our leaders deprive of us. F5ck!!!!!

Wow that's nice! I thought you were based in 9ja?

My G! It's funny how you support Israel but condemn Russia for doing the same thing.😁

Sponsorship cost serious money for the employer. I have explained this before. Almost £14,000 except Care CoS which is not easy too because the demand for it is very high

Is care COS free?

Gerrard59:
So, why are employers not open to offering sponsorship alongside the job offer? Why is sponsorship hard to issue or obtain? If it is the salary requirement, then it means the would-be employees don't have what it takes to be recruited for such positions.

So many of these employers just want to employ you and you just start working simple. Lots of them don't have the time to stress on any extra stuffs with visa matter. So I think , for them to wanna go the extra length, the employee would likely be one with ample years of experience

Gerrard59:
An eye-opener post from my leader.

I find it very interesting because over here, there are PLENTIFUL tech jobs, and way more if one knows Japanese. Companies here aren't open to employing newbies or those with less than four years of experience from outside the country. However, for those inside with resident status, the process is straightforward. As I wrote in your Memoirs from Chile, the Nigerian dude who graduated a year ahead of me got four offers. He requested a salary increment in the first and got it. Then he asked for another increment, but was declined. He refused the offer. The other offer had his resumption date to be the same month as the Japanese staff and they were egging him on to accept till he nailed his current place of work offer with an equivalent salary of $5K per month. When I visited him earlier this year, I met his Kenyan and Ivorien colleagues. There are many black Africans in the industry. Tech jobs no be problem for here. The koko is: you sabi leetcode? If yes, good. Can you speak Japanese? Brilliant! This opens more opportunities.

So, I am surprised by the crises in the UK as exemplified by Aphrodite007 who coincidentally is an executive recruiter.

All the same, well done. I am loyal to your gofment🙌🏿

The crisis in UK is not rocket science. The issue is getting a job that will sponsor your stay. That's the main issue. So people might get a tech job but without Sponsorship

Most Africans are not technically inclined compared to indians and Filipinos

Can you back this claim with proven statistics?

Just dey use Kuda, Opay, Palmpay, moniepoint or any of these fintech. They can't touch your money

Regex:
Our problem is that Nigerian come here with the mindset of being the next big boy or big girl. But it takes work and time. I've been living here for 3yrs now, I can categorically tell you, it gets easier. However not in the way you expect it. You discover that jobs abound but only for people who have experience and can prove it. Care work isn't the place with Haven for students. Lots of other jobs are there undiscovered. Life is fast paced however you do get a breather when you go on holiday or on one. It is one hell of a place where efforts count and not nepotism

Honestly bro, as you wrote, it only gets easier. The more time you spend, the more you get to learn ways on how to navigate this place. I remember your story of when you first landed here...omo I keep laughing when I remember it and tell my friends about it, it's so funny.

Once you put in the work here, you'll get the proceeds of your labour.
I can't just wait to be done with school and then explore the various opportunities available
