Skyview01:
Even Buhari and Tinubu no stay for Naija when them need treatment and all their kids are abroad.
Why the hell will I want to relocate.

I think you mean why the hell will you NOT want to relocate.
Well, because for one thing you already have a good life here, and a bird in the hand...

alyarmouk:
If you can guide me through the route, why not, I'd gladly go through it. Nigeria is a no-no for me rn

This video below gives some ideas

dupyshoo:
I invited a plumber to my house and he charged over £200 just to change pipe under sink. I know a lot of plumbers and builders that work only 6 months in a year and go on holiday for the other 6 months.

I too had to change a pipe under sink quite recently. The plumber charged me 5K naira, though he also drank some of my beer. This life no balance

tunapawizzy:
People need to actually live it to be able to take a position on this abroad/going back home issue...so much ignorant talk especially about tax and bills

Quite true. Those who have lived it advice caution. Those who have never left Naija advice go NOW, even if you'd be doing slave job

Allisgud:
Stop talking as if the country don fall finish we have people who have not crossed the shore of this country,who at least settle staffs salaries with expenses combined

This is actually very true. There are lots of people who became rich right here in Nigeria. We tend to forget that

fijihems:
Anyone living abroad in a developed country like the UK, USA or Canada who cannot save $20,000 in one year, is either not serious or wasting time.

Easier said than done. See below

sukkot:
you are free to believe what you want bro. doesnt change the fact that i have lived most of my life abroad than in nigeria. i was born abroad. abroad is nothing. my brothers and sisters ( way richerrrrrrrr than i am ) travel to london for the weekend to see their children. they go like every other weekend. so abroad is nothing in my family. God is good. my father started the trend. lived in London for close to 20 years during the british windrush era of the sixties and seventies when naijas migrated en masse

Your family rocks! This is the type of life I envision building

Ireportlive:

My Brother In-laws Secretary actually left her secretary job as his Secretary at herbadeshers school UK, came to New Gbagi Ibadan Nigeria, started a fabrics store business selling lace , Ankara and aso ebi, and she is doing great with a family

This is a woman who spent over 5 years looking for papers, spent almost 10 years plus working for the bills and some petty savings, 10 years + without husband and kids

But are you sure she did not engage in a little yahoo and ran back with the loot with cops in hot pursuit😆
How are you sure she made the money in Naija?

ZINNYBANKS:
For 2020 gas na 300 fast forward to 2023 gas now na how much??
For yankee gas go up everybody complain biden reason the matter everything normalize . for here nothing go sup if you like cry spirit .

This na true o. It's as if Nigerians are sedated. Prices of common goods will suddenly double and you won't hear pim from anybody!

kodred:
People that knew what they were doing back then are still stuck till this day. They would gladly return as they also thought once they get there everything would be set only to be heavily disappointed.

I tell you. It's all destiny. Wherever you go, if that's not your destiny... Imagine if Tinubu stayed in US, he'd be sitting in jail right now, instead he's president!

.

otunbadan:
You are just not alright .....

Why? For tricking you into admitting you're a fraud who lives somewhere in Ajegunle but pretending to live in Canada?!

Penguin2:
Meanwhile, I look forward to seeing how he fares in next election as APC candidate.

Same way Tinubu will fare in the next presidential election - he'd "win" even if 90% of the people did not vote for him!

stuffs2002:
People like you are the problem of women.

How do you know the women is happy. How do you know she doesn't cry herself to sleep every night.
Even if she is happy and "fulfilled' as you say, what is the percentage of happy and fulfilled' single women like her

My friend, to start with, that's a a 61 year old woman - she looks 31. That's the first sign she doesn't cry herself to sleep every night. Stress ages people. If she were married she'd probably be looking like an old hag. She built a solid career as a sought-after political pundit - a very satisfying position to be in if you ask me. Marriage is NOT for everybody. Even relationship is not for everybody. That's what people miss.
Nothing is more important in life than life itself. Appreciate the fact you have life and live and enjoy yours the best you can - marriage or no marriage!
And BTW nobody is "evening newsoaper". Pure utter bull crap. People find their ideal partner at any point in life, while for some there is no such thing.
Marriage is fine, but people should not let themselves be tricked into letting their happiness hinge on any man-made artificial imposition like marriage, or let such prevent them from fully living and enjoying their lives! Doggedfighter no mind Stuffs2002. Let people breathe!

Dammiesugar:
If you’re coming into Canada with visitor’s visa, my dear abort mission straight or else you will regret it and go back to Naija empty handed.

Thanks. Same advice from all in the know - but my heart wants Caca, and wants it now!

virginchaser:
If i where you i will collect the job, spend three months, have meeting with the management to allow me work remotely for three months. You may end up doing half year in both countries.

Sounds very good actually. If only real life were that smooth

micxwell:
Things are complicated right now but not as bad as not being able to get by with 1million naira.

No mind am. 1m is chump change. Everybody is a billionaire on NL

darkmarky:
now na... Or u want when dollar is 5,000 naira , na when u go wan japa? Abeg japa now bro.

Everybody in Naija is advising this. While everybody abroad is advising delay. Who would you say is being sincere, emotional?

Yaks02:
It seems everything is already figured out in Canada. It's safe to say u can go

I have a TRV, visitor visa - and people in the know are saying it's not good enough

Ajalalomo:
No problem, we all know that kids of these days can’t live without social media.

Dey there. Soon AI will take over everything including your j-o-b

gammarays:
Check am nah
If you got the funds for a tourist visit, you can go and come back 😊
Na part of Life

I have the funds, but barely

directonpc:
Please stay in Nigeria and do your 500K Tech job. Keep applying for remote and in-person roles in North America and even Europe, you'll get it eventually and japa if that is something you fancy. Life as an illegal permanent resident for anywhere no easy oo.

Thanks so much for your most sincere advice but I honestly want to do some travel now, before Christmas

elbulk:
If you have enough money to sustain you for a good period of time then go for it. Even if you get a job in good time it's best to have money to sustain you for 6 months to 1 year just in case

I have less than $500. It's part of the dilemma

kunle75:
It's up to you but that's my opinion, I did it and am glad i took that decision

Did what? Which?

justmondris:
There is nothing like calm down here lol. Opportunities come but once oh. Abeg Japa my guy. There may be some challenges in Canada when you get there but las las you go dey okay and always thank God u Japa. The current purchasing power of 500k naira now is even like 350k compared to last two years.

That's the problem, I'm already quite ok here, and with potential 1.5m salary I'll be even more ok. So it's a real dilemma

Luther0luther:
Guy, you're in tech, you can always live the dream! You should begin to work out how to secure jobs from the Americas ,working in Nigeria remotely. You will live like a king. Anytime you like, you travel to these locations for vacations ,flex small and come back. Guy, don't believe the hype o! With enough money, you will get that type of life even here in Nigeria.

Finally, if you're single, you can take your chances and see for yourself . If you're married with children, you an also take your chances . At the end of the day, it should be what works for you . You may like it ,you may not.

Life na once! So if you dey feel like to go, no listen to anybody. Ticket don dey your hand, make your move.

I do sincerely wish you all the best!

Thank you soo much. But if it were that simple don't you think everybody would be doing it?
I am not married and I really crave travel and adventure. You can almost say the ground is burning under my feet!😁

TheAdvocate:
Hamas operates from the sky. 😎

Neither do Boko Haram, Delta Avengers, UGM etc. yet you don't go and level those places

MeineMutter:
I get you.

You are welcome.
I would still suggest you visit firstly, especially if you you are older than 40.

Getting job to covert visit visa in Canada is not as easy as people think it is.

Just don’t loud it when you first of all travel. Don’t alert people or put yourself on social media.

I'm not 40 at all and I actually intend to post my progress, with photos, right here on this thread - village people or not!😎

Basiljoe:
Sometimes I understand why they say poverty is of the mind. Kai.

Everything starts with the mind - including poverty and wealth. We always forget that

Ashirioluwa:
Ask aunty Kemi Olunloyo. She claimed asylum in Canada

.

kodred:
Sorry bro but when you ‘make it’ abroad, are you going to relocate back to Nigeria eventually say like in your old age.

That's another question we don't ask ourselves. And will your children ever return or are they lost to America/Canada for good??
