Trust me, most who go back to Nigeria complaining didn’t move back by choice.
You and Justwise present strong points and I advise anyone to be suspicious of people who complain about the developed countries they moved to.
If you visit any Nigerians here in the US (my paternal side included) you hear them complaining to family in Naija about bills and how hard things are then the moment they disconnect the call, they jump right back to loving and enjoying their new life.
The majority of people who complain aren’t legal and don’t have papers, are lazy, don’t want family back in Naija to ask for help migrating, or ask for money.

Real question: why do these monikers act like bills and taxes are curses and everyone abroad works around the clock, living a hard life of struggle? A nice, comfortable lifestyle costs and we enjoy the amenities funded with our taxes. Savings and investments are priorities to me but what good does having large amounts of money saved serve in an unsanitary, uncomfortable, and dangerous environment where one encounter can wipe savings dry? Serves no good at all.

Madam, you just can’t over emphasize on what you just said.

I have a very very very close relative who came back recently after we persuaded him not to.

He was extorted at the airport.

He was slapped by a police man 4-5 days after arriving during an altercation.

He was robbed 2 weeks later someone came in through their ceiling and stole his phones and laptop.

God Almighty knows I’m not making these things up.

Now he says he regrets coming back.

All in all you can’t go to another man’s land and not want to pay some form of your own due(tax) for earning and living good on their soil, that’s disrespectful.

Same taxes you all pay here without flinching.

You pay it on transport via agbero money that’s added to your bus fare.

You pay on VAT, which is also included in foods you buy and airtime’s purchases you make(heard their slamming a new fee and raising that sh!t)

You need to choose, if there’s need to plan for your future the time is now. Nigeria no send anybody papa!!!

pansophist:
If you finally decide to travel, then remove the UK, and to some extent, Canada from that list (or make it your last option). The rest are good, but the suffering you will face before you reach the promised land in places like Canada and UK, you might have been old then.

If he removes those two, which other ones would you advise.

Also how do you mean when you say he would suffer so much in UK and Canada before making it?

Dear OP @charles009

I find your thinking interesting, cos you seem to have a good job and yet you tend to want better. That’s what we’re meant to do in life.

If we were built to be in one spot for life we wouldn’t have our feet.

Truth be told so many stories of people who go and come back with nothing, some are fishy as they wouldn’t narrate if they were lazy or not, or perhaps they were involved in something fishy on another man’s territory.

I suggest you travel and visit these countries you might have in mind to acclimatize yourself with what’s what and what’s not.

I know people who have little or no skills earning $2-$3K every month after tax and about 600$-800$ after bills every month overseas without their family though.

If you can sharpen your skill sets when you relocate with some trainings, you should fare better.


You have a family so the story might not be the same, but you also have a helping hand with your wife by you, you can pull more weights and have less pressure.

Also, on a not so bright note. You have a good job here but is it secure?

is your safety and that of your family guaranteed?

Are their future guaranteed too?

Will you wake up tomorrow to another unimaginable inflation?

If you fall ill will you be taken care of first and bills sorted later or we have to source for the money before the doctors will even listen to you.

So so many questions I should ask, but you’re a man and I think you should be the one to question your action(s) as to how you can secure the future of your clan.

Imagine if Giannis Adetokumbo’s Father had him in Nigeria.

People may show you videos of how people are complaining, let this !d!its complaining come back home from where they are and allow fresh hands go experience the heavy taxing, but I’m sure they won’t.

Peace!!!


Jeezzz! Thread don reach page 10 from page 2 in 24hrs lol

Something like that, I hold a multiple-entry Schengen visa. Most of the Schengen States weren't done at a go. For example, Croatia was in January, and Switerzland was in March. As someone who travels on a Nigerian passport, I try to ensure that I always have an active UK, US or Canada visa. It helps with issues of transit.

When travelling, I also try to opt for the most direct flight. It saves one headache, so for Morroco, I would recommend Royal Air Morroco as it takes you directly to the kingdom without any layovers.

If you have a US, Canada, UK or Schengen visa, I think you can do an e-visa for turkey as a Nigerian passport holder.

I hope this helps.

Mehn!

Don’t even know what to say right now.

Can you please share how you did the Croatia and Switzerland with the steps like you did for Morocco.

You’re very well experienced and would make a good reference when one needs an idea or two.

I duff my hat o

Nice thread!

Fehintolajones:
Does she have travel history to other countries?

Let her apply for UK visa first, Schengen visa is easier with a valid UK, US or Canada visa

My 2cents

You seem to know much about UK, will you be kind enough to just list documents and other requirements or point me in a precise post where I can get a list of requirements.

Thanks

Nchabuomo:
Honestly, I don't know how many countries I have been to, as I do not count.

But so far this year I have done.
1. Croatia
2. Turkey (repeat)
3. Switzerland (repeat)
4. France (repeat)


I hope to do before the year ends:
1. Italy (repeat)
2. France - Monaco precisely
3. UK (repeat)
4. Thailand (If I can get around to applying for the visa)
5. Kenya.

All in all I reckon I have been to 20 countries.

P.S. please don't refer to me as Sir just use my moniker. �

The France, Switzerland and Italy, were they on one visit swoop like you getting a SCHENGEN for one of them and visiting the others??

One thing I learned from your Morocco post is that Morocco is easy to get rather than pay any useless agent.

Then as for going to Morocco I can get a Transit visa of Turkey �� (Kindly advise if possible) when I go via Turkish Airlines.

Also if one can get a Transit Visa for Holland or France or UK, can one choose any of KLM, Airfrance or Virgin Atlantic (please advise)

Also check your email. I sent you a DM

Nchabuomo:
Thanks for Cc-ing me. Vietnam is on my bucket list for next year.

Sir, What’s on your list for this year and how many countries have you traveled to so far?

Looks like jeep as in JEEP Brand itself

WhyNa:
No they don't pay in dollar. Your salary per hour is negotiated in dollar and you're paid the equivalent in VND

Quite an interesting and beautiful story from where I read till where I stopped.

I must say you did a great job by researching and opening a thread to widen people’s initiative.

Saw a guy who condemned the country on the first page, I think he’s into drugs if you ask me lol .

Is it possible that one gets a tourist visa to Vietnam for a week or two?

Thanks.

Cc Nchabuomo

It’s in French

easy to get gambia passport

Sliksusan

What’s the essence of the Gambian Passport Over the Nigerian Passport?

Go to their LinkedIn and Instagram pages and drop comments on how bad they handle cars. Come back and thank me later.

shams040:
This is not toyota sport. Just normal toyota. But I jst saw 2009 for 2.4M.

Only a scammer would put this up for 2.9M for a 2009 unless it’s Nigerian used. Do not fall for any scam.

shams040:
Toyota Correla 2007, Driven 299,999 miles. Canada used.

Only problems, rust on the right rear fender and airbag light is on.

It’s a 2007, it will sell for about

- 2.8 if you want to resell to a dealer and take out your money very quick.

- 3.2 if you want to sell to an end user without fixing its issues.

- 3.5 if you want to fix all issues before reselling it to an end user.

AskGod07:
Nice thoughts modskiller , but do you think all those transit country will stamp the passport ?

Also do you have idea how someone can apply for Morocco visa without visit Abuja? I’m seriously need of that visa bro I will send you message on Nairaland please check your email mail and reply me so we can connect

I have not applied neither have I travelled.

But it seems quite easy from the write ups

Nchabuomo:
Oh okay, that makes sense.

Actually sir, I learnt this from your post and seems you tend to travel much.

This kind of airline detour i.e not using direct flights will save costs and give one more travel time and experience.

I heard you can get a a Bolivia and Some other South American Visas from Morocco and or Egypt.

Next time you visit Morocco, please get any of those visa, you do not need to visit the country but just use to also boost your passport.

I will be sending you DMs soon enough.

You inspired and opened my reasoning to another dimension of traveling with low cost DIY.

Kindly make sure you help us post more of your travels and process on your own threads.

Thank you.

Nchabuomo:
I visited for 3 weeks so need a visa. I did not get the message prompt.

Yes. I saw your post on the thread. It was short, simple and precise enough.

I was saying if you had boarded Lufthansa airlines you’d have had a stop over at Holland before the take you to Marrakech or Morocco.

Same airline would have picked you up from Morocco and taken you to France before they finally bring you back home.

This would boost your passport strength as regards travel history.

sliksusan:
Your topic is correct but let me tell you, you know, if you get all these visas, maybe the Ecuador or Bolivia or any visa and come back to Nigeria, it's just wasting your money for nothing if you get a visa, all those country in south america If you stay there for about 2 or 3 years, you can have the citizenship of the country you can get there passport which can facilitate your travel, no matter Europe, America or Canada, everything can be easy for you. You know, if you live in Bolivia or Ecuador for three years, you can have citizenship of that country. There you have good passport and a passport is good for traveling to any country you like because visa free , like Bolivia passport still visa free for Ireland. Let's be smart for ourselves It is very difficult to get a Schengen visa if you can also get the visa in Europe before you can get paper to work because in Europe it is not easy to get paper too

I understand you, but it’s not easy or advise-able you travel overseas to overstay or as an illegal immigrant.

It could have devastating effects if care is not taken.

Even if you have a Million you can go to Dubai and buy one or two things you can resell them to make part of your money.

I like the fact that your spirit is quite high though

If you visit Canada or USA with just 1 million naira you will make over 1.5M to 2M if you know how to manage and utilize the money.

If you continue the cycle you will be happy on the long run.

Staying illegally will have you struggling to get things in place for 2-3 years or 1 year minimum which might not go well with most people.

Nchabuomo:
Yeah, man. Happy to support wherever I can.

I saw you went to Morocco some time ago.

If you could have gotten a transit visa for France or Germany or Holland or Turkey you would have stayed in any of those countries for about 1-2 days and continue your journey.

Sent you a DM

fortunez1:
Please which country in Europe or Asia can I go for my masters with a budget of #3.5m.

Read this. I think it’ll help your quest.

Good luck

Nchabuomo:
Hi man, responded.

You’re doing a good job.

Followed up on some of your posts and it’s quite interesting for those who can learn from them.

Seems you’ve been to Europe or UK before?

I can’t help but laugh at so many thing I’m seeing on this thread.

Daring for those who want to leave by all mean and
It’s quite educative for those who read in between and try to make sense out of it.

OP wants to travel, someone told him he needs to go to Morocco or Egypt or something to get some country’s visa.

Very simple.

Even if you don’t like Bolivia or Nicaragua or Ecuador or El Salvador.

You can simply get a Moroccan visa(which is a bit easy), then get your Bolivian Visa from Morocco, come back to Naija after 6 month, Get Egypt visa(which is a bit easy too) and get the Ecuador or whatever country visa you can from there too and come back home.

You can use this to boost your passport even if you don’t go there.

I believe this will make traveling to Europe or Other countries a bit easier for you than anyone who’s yet to leave the shores of Nigeria.

My two Kobo �

abdulizom:
I have 3 cars I bought from US shipped to Nigeria through Sallaum Line, all the 3 were vandalize in there terminal.

When I raised an objection the first 2 car {2013 Toyota Venza and 2010 Toyota Camry}, the Agent said nothing can be claimed since the cars had left their terminal.

I then asked that the third be left there until we are certain that there is no any form damage.
Lo and behold, the rear lights disappeared and from the report I gathered key sensor gone too just like the case of the 2010 Camry which I slept 61k to fixed {40k=Sensor,10k=Workmanship and 1k=battery hire} the key sensor.

The car is in there terminal, I need advise on how to go about reclaiming my items from them and payment for damages. If possible litigation if there is resistance.

Below are the pictures from the first car to the one left in their yard.

Go to their Instagram and LinkedIn Pages, Facebook if possible and lay your complains.

They will address it.

I think they under estimate what people can do especially Nigerians thinking it’s all a big bluff.

One thing that can be done is to hit them where it hurts.

If we can go to their LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter pages to lay complains and let them know they need to start holding people responsible for these things there and then can there be some changes.

Cos I still know of two to three people who complained bitterly as of 2-3 weeks ago about how they vandalized and stole items from their vehicles.

9jaHustler:
That's not the deal, you either stay in Nigeria or travel to Canada.

Okay no problem I’m taking the money either ways. But I go travel to USA.

This will quite an interesting argument trust me

I’ll take the first option, the sell the car, buy something smaller and use the proceeds to start a good business for me and my family, then go on vacation in the USA.

I’ll take the money the car the house and sell them off then travel to Canada.

Cof1ex:
nnaa thanks, learning a trade won't be bad and the amount i have will be a head start. I had it all planned to learn paint production last year before hurtling but something occured that took my mind off it... Thanks

Barbing salon combined with a video Game Center where you’ll use one energy source to power both and make more money, Agriculture like buying and selling of food stuffs in bulk, even livestock. Don’t invest so much in those online businesses, they disappear as fast as they appear sometimes.

Also the laundry thing is very good, you can combine it with a salon where you hire and monitor people and use he opportunity to learn barbing from them too.
