Op, ask yourself "what do I really want?"

Therein lies the answer to your debacle.

While you have succeeded in outlining the gains and uncertainties associated with schooling abroad, you have not quite captured the global economic crises, increasing unemployment in oil and gas, declining use of crude and fossil energy etc. so I will try to highlight a few points.

First and foremost, the global oil and gas sector is in deep crises. Even the best of companies cannot guarantee your employment after the study leave. I work in oil and gas and one of my colleagues turned down a commissioner appointment because he wasn't sure his job would be there after the appointment. That's how bad it is. This is because these companies are looking for ways to cut as much cost as possible. While they may still need someone to fill your position, they would definitely save money by contracting the role out.

Secondly, in the boom period of oil and gas, your company would not be your problem because you could get a job anywhere else. These days it's difficult. In the Middle East, some of those countries are carrying out the indeginization policy i.e. building their human capacity and resource by ensuring that a certain percentage of companys' human resource are skilled indigenes. For most of them it is a phased process so the impact is not yet obvious. I tell you that in a few years, many of our African brothers with jobs in ME may have no choice than to return home. I don't know about EU and Americas but I'm sure you would be second choice as long as they have citizens who can do the job.

Finally, oil and gas industry has experienced its highest boom. It is now on a downward spiral. This is based on emerging technologies and concerns about the environment. In the next 20 years, you will see a continuous decline in use of fossil fuel. It will be the major source but other sources would also grow. What this implies is that the level of investment (drilling, exploration, development etc) would reduce significantly. This is because you would not need to replenish reserves as aggressively as was done in the past. Ofcourse, it may take hundreds of years for crude to be replaced entirely but a marginal decline in crude consumption and its resultant decrease in investment, would render a lot of people redundant.

So, while I don't discourage you, it is also pertinent that you see your predicament from a different view. Your opportunities are limitless if you go to Canada; yet, "limitless" has a lower end. If your definition of satisfaction in life is working for an oil company, then you already have it. If however, you are bursting with creative problem solving ideas which you think an MSC would greatly enhance, then by all means follow your path.

I'm in Nigeria and soon would be starting my MSC with University of London. After that, I will do my PHD with a school in Europe or Canada. I am not leaving Naija. I don't want to settle anywhere else. I am not leaving my job either. If your dreams can be achieved by staying put and studying from Nigeria, then do it. Eat your cake and have it. My brother don't be deceived by youthful restlessness and throw away an opportunity many would sell their soul for.

Above all, we can only advice but you won't get your answers here. Seek the face of God inside you and around you. If you believe, you will receive.

Good luck!

with you writing style eh, I bet your MSc Tutor will consistently flip your report script to the front page to be sure if this is indeed coming from a Nigerian. Weldone!
keep the flag flying

hmmm, as someone commented "the grass is not always greener @ the other side". UK no be pot of beans o. I lived in UK for roughly 4 years inclusive of my MSc I did there; after comparing the standard of living I used to have in Naija b4 I travelled even as unemployed as I was then- I never waited for someone to tell me that " guy, na suffer U dey suffer for here o" .
If you are not ready to mop floors, wash loads of toilets or stand for 8-12 hrs doing security or some factory jobs while enduring insults from ordinàry first school leaving certificate holder holder whom may probably be ur supervisor in ur place of work, nwanne stay back in naija o. cos that is what you are probably going to start with to put body and soul together before you get ur dream nursing job. Also, UK gives little regard 4 our degrees, they are just interested in the thousands of pounds we bring in to pay to study there after that you go fear quit notice as if no be them were begging you to com study there.
In naija, someone can easily invite you to his house or when you visit- there will be enough eating and drinking and lafta but in UK no one has anybody's time if they don't have anything they will gain from you directly. hmm, u say ur cousin dey advise u to show, if u had said ur blood brother or sister I will concur and approve immediately. mind u abroad is like a jungle and as the saying goes " there is no brother in jungle". even some regard card sellers in naija are far better than those UK guys u see showing off on facebook and co.
You are evn lucky that someone is trying to help u in naija without abeg Sir. In UK, .... hmm!
I don talk finish o. others dey but na secondary. abi, na racism u wan talk?? naija na tribalism and everyone seem not to be bothered.
there is one old saying chant when I am in group of friends and every1 will burst in2 lafta "who no go- no know!,"

Nigeria needs to increase it's security around the whole country. We need modern technologies to prevent and solve crimes.
Like someone said earlier our police can't trace an ordinary phone call.

The issue of Boko Haram and this Fulani herdsmen shows the country's weak security wise, it wouldn't take any of the developed countries to wipe out this Nigeria if ( I hope not) war should arise.

hope u read the post from start to finish??. This no be in naija but in the UK o. that shows that security issue is abound every where. we pray never to be a victim. I hope the Police does something about it and slid the case under the carpet as na foreigner is involved.

people taking paracetamol for another's headache since 1900. smh

BuddhaPalm:
You really want to go back?

No internet, mobile phones, air conditioned cars, PC's, etc.

yea, i wouldn't mind. back then the weather wasn't harsh as it now. diseases were less, life expectancy was high, enough jobs even if you are a graduate or not, less pollution- from air, water and noise, less bad belle as every one was seen as a good neighbour/ family, people never wanted to travel out like today. smh. Globalisation & technology seem to have its bad sides tho. then as i heard ladies were concerned about your pocket and fake life style. If she likes u, na u go tire! Enough packing space if yoy had a car then. lol. cos I remember, my papa and neighbours no dey quarel cos of that but today pple take space as if its part of their rent and right. smh. mctweee

The Bible even warned us about APC, but we obviously don't read our bible. Open to Proverbs 24 vv 21 & 22...
"21: My son, fear the Lord, and fear the king as well; do not associate with those that say 'CHANGE'.
"22: For their calamity comes quickly ... and the disaster they both may bring"KJV

Private is still better than government hospitals. At least they listen and act. Govt hospitals have too many doctors and they don't listen. I lost my daughter due to govt hospital negligence. It was obvious that she was losing strength, yet doctors never bothered to act. I finally lost her.

If not for cost, private are better though they have their lapses

oh God. so sorry. smh. mctwee

Vanpascore:
May God help us in ds country. I av seen a doctor using google search to prescribe drug

Gbam! I have seen personally as well. A young female Doctor in well known hospital in Abuja. I was just stunned. Perhaps, after she must have crammed to scale thru medical school.

osesology:
I agree with you, my brova...but I have observed that there isn't too many churches that preach salvation of the soul and the iminence of the kingdom of God, rather it's now more about financial stability and living the fanciful life, and to archieve this, huge tites are always collected.
Now we all know how hard Nigeria is, esp for the youths. The way they brainwash people these days, esp women, I begin to wonder if native doctors are now posing as pastors.

Gbam!

Thanks in advance.
