Egbon (Senior), congrats. Even though I've argued against people 40+ migrating, with the way Nigeria is now, it doesn't matter anymore. Nigeria is an economically unstable country. You just don't know what to expect. You are doing the best for your family. I hope that your children will appreciate the sacrifices you are making for them. Don't listen to all the negative commentators. These lots think that everything is about money. They don't understand what it's like to live in a functional society. Most Nigerians living in Nigeria think that being a big man in a small pond is normal.

A soul finally sees the light. We need to win more souls from the long lived darkness to the side of light.

AmuDimpka, remain you. We can't leave you in darkness. Come over to the side of light let the light shines on you and liberate you from the horrific abyss call nation, filled with so much corruptions.

Have you not heard they've just increased electricity tariff from 68 naira to 225 per kilowatts, with no increase in minimum wage? The earlier you know that those in power don't give a damn about you, the better for you.

Since we entered this year, we've been experiencing epileptic power supply. People's businesses have been suffering from poor power and here they came with an increased in Electricity tariff. How is the common man going to survive?

Imagine a country that gained independence for over 60 years ago, can't boost of stable electricity that will make small to medium scale businesses boom.

Since we were kids, we started hearing Nigeria will get better. Now, we've grown to full adults and the same Nigeria has gone from bad to worse. No where is it even close to getting better.

Let's open our eyes and let's be wise. Don't let anyone fools you. If you still put your hope in this country, better have a rethink.

Lip reading, what if the person isn't saying anything but instead he's giving sign, how do you decode that?

Attend sign language class, you will understand or decode their signs.

Back then I was learning this thing. It's a very lucrative field.

I have forgotten all my sign language gestures. Chaiiiiii.

Caramia2020:
It's well, this is one of the reasons I stay low because you never can tell where an enemy will be raised from. To be sincere the neighbor messed up due to envy, this is an example that many people have died from envious neighbors.

Omo,me too o. Lay low na my second name. Even to dress flashy, some neighbours fit dey envy you why are u dressing flashy. Na rags person go dey wear now o.

This life get as it be. So, na common sense person take dey live am.

Tellmeastory, back to the question you once asked me about what really is evil? I have been looking for a better example to show you. Here is a typical example of evil.

Now, these are some of the evil things men commit against their fellow humans out of jealousy and enviousness. The heart of man they say is no doubt really filled with evil. The hands of people like these are not clean.

To you, will you say this is an evil act or a good act that demands an applaud?

AmuDimpka, withdraw your view about Nigeria being one of the best countries in the world to reside, or else I will petition you so you can come and explain to us the good this shithole has done for the masses.

Our lives are not safe again in this country, and you and all your cohorts know this.

So, what's the process of taking the loan, and when does one pay back?

This is one thing I commend Africa for. Africa was created never to experience all these terrific natural disasters.

The only problem we have are bad leaders and irredeemable corruptions. If not, Africa is blessed.

Armaggedon:
we are talking about a solar farm not gas turbine.

My question to you now is; is it only a gas turbine that can generate 11MW? Do you even know what 11MW means?

Armaggedon:
That won't be enough for a mini estate.

11MW might seems small right? I once had such thoughts until I searched how many homes a single megawatt can power. You will be shocked that, on average, 1 megawatt of power can supply electricity to around 400-900 homes.

So, how many homes can make up a mini estate?

Any way, in all, Nigeria needs to do better.

Ishilove, come and carry your gender. Na man go still put this one for house as wife o. Men, why?

Abdulquadrimuha:
Been seeing your post. I pray you get your nomination by the grace of God.

I too also have the dream to immigrate to Australia some day. It's been my long ride dream lol. And I pray it come to pass.

I assume you have gotten your assessment from EA. just saw that Nigeria has gotten a provisional signatury to the Washington Accord. Tho it's not full signatory yet. But I hope they attain it by the time I graduate.

Tho I don't know the impact of that yet sha(attaining full signatory). But I hope it's turns out for the best.

I am yet to get my assessment. I am on it. On with my CDRs. Been gathering my documents.

Yeah. The Importance is that once they obtain full signatory under the Washington accord, Engineers from Nigeria won't be going through the process of writing career episodes.

They will just submit documents straight up without writing career episodes to demonstrate their competencies.

What an unsafe country I find myself! Is this the country Tendd wants me to stay and raise my unborn kids? God have mercy!

This is the country that AmuDimpka wants me to share with him. Amu, you're a wicked man.

AmuDimpka my guy, your food don land o. Sit down make you chop belle full. Oya fire down.

Tendd:
When you above 40,stay in your country and don't try to relocate anywhere except for war or extreme poverty.The lady makes much sense.You are most likely not to live a healthy life or live longer if you begin to work menial jobs or other physically demanding jobs at that age.Nigerian abroad are generally not a healthy looking people and their life expectancy is relatively low.If you have children, better send them abroad if you are more than 40 years.

Chaiii! Mo na dey fear God sometimes my guy..Na wa o. This is coming from someone wey dey stay the poverty capital of the world o.

Nigerfine3:
You are very smart about it. We share same name oooo
I am planning coming back soon at early 50s. The mental stability of you working without fun isn't for everyone.
Is always a different stroke. I cannot advise anyone above 45 with good income to come abroad for a fresh start

Is it in Nigeria that people don't work? People are mentally drained in Nigeria than abroad where things work.

Have you ever get caught up with Lagos hold up before? A situation where you need to wake up by 4a.m to go to work just to beat hold up.

Some of you folks abroad don't really know the value of being in a sane society. That's why few of you are taking things for granted. Nigeria is not the way you left it. Things are very terrible here. We can't walk safely. I know of someone who was doubled crossed and his lab sprayed with bullets in his GLK when he was driving out of a hotel at about 8pm in the evening.

He was kidnapped with and taken into a bush, cleared his account and still call family members to bring money to settle the kidnappers before he was handed to the family. I was the one that roles the guy on hospital chair into one of the federal teaching hospital.

Have you ever imagined experiencing such traumatising experience?

If you know you can't provide security for yourself, just know the possibility of being hijack is much. Cuz right now, if you are living flashy, you will definitely be a target by kidnappers.

These are some of the things few of you abroad don't value. Have you heard of kidnapping in that abroad you are right now before? These people don't care if they kill their victims. They will spray the person bullets if he tries escaping.

Pls, you guys need to really appreciate the security you enjoy abroad because here in Nigeria, without your own personal security, you can't move freely if you are a big man.

I am not saying you should not come back. But be mentally ready to experience some of the things people are experiencing here so that you won't be in shock when you experience one or two of those things. That's when you will appreciate abroad life.

Kelechi009:
Those cases are far different, those ones already had kids in those countries. She is referring to 40+ newly coming to struggle from the beginning.

Any 40+ that travels abroad at that age is setting themselves up for failure.

You're not serious. Not only setting themselves for failure.

Chiuzk:
Thank you so much..this is a good guide and valuable information to us. We will try all the options you have mentioned. Although I really don't fancy living abroad for me to try the education route, (I wish is something I will apply and if visa is given to me, I will return home while he being my dependant stays back--smiles, and our children can go after their secondary schools if they wish). I prefer running my business here and going abroad for vacation if fate allows it. He is the one who has this strong desire to base overseas. What can I do, other than to support his dreams...all the same, thank you for being extremely helpful. God bless you sir. I will show him all these comments and mentions, he too is a member of this forum. Thank you once again sir, and bye.

You're welcome.

lazkizz:
Thank God, I brought this 900w solar pump to meet up the water demand.


My rice is making me feel like I am in Thailand, in fact, in the middle of Bangkok.

After almost an hour in this yola extra ultra sun ... I decided to take nunu and kinderemo

Congrats to all farmers out there. You guys are the heroes. Without farm produces, hunger for dey hammer everybody for this country.

You've done well!

Richtaiwo:
Which one is off hand again? What I used to hear is off head, which is not even correct.

You no prepare for jamb be that. I wrote my first jamb in 2009. These are common questions. Even post UTME, they set these simple questions in English papers cuz they know 70% of people won't get simple questions like these right.

Wahala. If you ever wrote jamb in those days, this is a popular question. It's actually off hand, not off head.

I know the recitation off hand. Not I know it off head.

chidi4sam:
Nigerians are really doing fine here. Recently a Nigerian born rose up to the office of Audit General of NSW government. We have a lot of Nigerians who own companies here but they all came as nobody. Today, they are big shots.

Wonderful!

Usefulsense:
My candid answer is marry a good woman. Look for a nurse or a nursing student. Thank me when you get to Australia.

I see! Thanks.

Chiuzk:
Thank you sir
47+, and 6yrs on job

Ok. He has exceeded the maximum allowable age for the Australia skilled migration. The only route for him now is visa 482 job sponsorship. This doesn't actually come that easy though. But there is no wrong in trying.

He can put up application on Australia jobs sites and look for employers to sponsor him.

He can also try and look for those in his occupation who are residing in Australia to recommend him for jobs sponsorship over there. I know of a one man who got sponsored through this process. One of his friends recommended him in his office in Australia, and he was sponsored right from Nigeria on visa 482.

However, if that doesn't work, if you have qualification or experience in a good occupation, and your age is below 45, you can choose to go ahead with the usual migration process while your husband become the dependant.

If all these options fail, if there is funds, then the only route is through study for you, which is the same process OP use for his wife whom he later joined. Try and discuss these with your hubby first so you guys can put heads to together. Nothing is impossible!

chidi4sam:
I have been in both Australian and Canada immigration thread since 2017. E don tey 😃

Chaaiiiiii! No wonder! Any way, mo na prepare to welcome me in my first landing o if NSW ends up giving me visa, ma no go do like JJC in my first few months o. Na man wey know road them dey follow o.

I see say most of you guys are in NSW.

chidi4sam:
Nigerians in Australia are truly helpful I must confess. There is no tribalism here like we see in our home country. Infact, it was a Yoruba who helped me ( Igbo man) and my family to settle down faster. The family housed my wife for 5 months without collecting rent and also fed her for free until I came me. I failed to mention that I am working with one company owned by a Yoruba man. Immediately he saw me in church, he asked if I am willing to work in his organisation. That's all

Wow! That's very commendable. You are the 3rd person I am hearing this from. They said our Nigerian brothers and sisters are really helping out a lot over there.

I even got to know about one bros that was recommended straight by a Nigerian guy through visa 482 sponsorship. He recommended the bros in their office and they hired him directly from Nigeria and sponsored him. Through recommendation! I was impressed.

Things like these are very impressive.

That's an insight to my views regarding japa. I have been largely consistent with my stance.

Hmmm. Ma no drag you. You be old OG in the travel section. Much respect sir.

ArewaNightmare:
Pls can 3 million take one to Australia 🦘?

Not at all. That one no even reach visa money.

Treadway:
and just like that na so you don turn anti-japa o Gerrard59. Story of my life🤣🤣🤣

Once you dare to have an opinion that doesn't conform to the mob like this, or argue your point of view like this, gbam! You don turn anti-japa be that.

Nairaland members are just something else.

Whether una like am or not, Nigeria is not safe a place to stay. Over 70% of people are suffering in this country, trust me.

Relocating abroad is not for everybody. But mo na allow those who don escape this zoo breath.

Bassmetrics:
Op is very funny. This part got me laughing so loud:"The air we breathe in Nig is different from the one in Australia".
E be like say na fake oxygen we dey take in for naija o.

Ain't you supposed to know this before now? Check the sky in Nigeria, it's polluted and very foggy. Then check the skies in the western world, very clean and clear.

You are supposed to know this by now that the air we breathe in Nigeria is very much polluted.
