Pray before you relocate

Of course. That's basic... if you believe in prayers

OdefaGirl:
One chooses the suffering "best" for them, which millions of Nigerians if given the opportunity will choose to do their suffering outside the shores of this country.

But isn't suffering still suffering no matter where you do it??!

pansophist:
Even in Brussels, the capital of EU, commissions, Parliament, NATO etc, the poverty in there is so much.

At Brussels noord station, homeless people scattered every where with tents, living outside in the cold for years, and the EU can't help them but instead pump billions of dollars to Ukraine to fight a war it will never win.

And this is not just Brussels, it's like this in many parts of the country, and also in many countries

Yeah, the grass only SEEMS greener on the other side

That's why celebs always give birth abroad. So if your cash can't give you citizenship, your preek should

vikkiedee:
They may come and kidnap you to pay the same money…. I no do abeg… �

Well, every country has it's problems. Besides, kidnapping has sort of ebbed in Naija

iod69779:
I will miss ordering from Amazon, hearing much less honking on the roads, not having a speed dial police number, having a stable job, fewer dust on the streets, more polite people, fewer places to run to and have a quick number 1 and all that

Every country has their issues but Nigeria issues are too basic and frustrating for the average person who has lived abroad so it's a No No

So in your opinion it's better to abandon the potential 1.5m job and go "hustle" in Canada. Well, people actually living there say otherwise!

seanwilliam:
Well, I can always go to aboard for vacation, I no fit leave naija go Dey struggle.

In 5 years , I’ll have enough to travel overseas and enjoy my life with my family.
Nigeria is the best place to spend and enjoy money .

You know, I agree with you to some extent. But that only applies if you don't already have your plane ticket and Canadian dreams!

maziude:
If you think people still leave Nigeria because of only money, then you need to have a rethink.

What good is $40k to a dead person?

So you saying leave right now. Forget the potentially 1.5m job

Crenzywilliams:
I told my uncle, in 2019 when I arrived, I said, I relocate back to Nigeria and retire when I make £50k, he looked at me with a smile; and he told me the cost of his rang rover, it was £85. From that moment he didn't have to tell me to growup; get sense and aim high. You can easily save £10k/,year if you want to.
You know my answer.

Actually I'm not sure your answer. Could you elaborate?

xjiggy:
Bro when they say CA is short of workers, it does not mean anybody can just go and take up the job. You have to have the right credentials and specialty. Mind you, our university certificates can only get you into their schools but not give you job directly. Also they give preference to Americans, Europeans and Australians

How about tech? Do you know how that applies to tech?

benqo01:
Wy still move to UK when u know it is very expensive,me don't even fancy UK smaller European country is okay for me

Ok, but how about Canada and my dilemma

Selfmotivated:
$40k is about 17,653,200.00 Nigerian Naira. Nigeria economic outlook will swallow that money within one year based on the sky rocking inflation. No going back to Sodom...

What foresight you have. Same $40K is now N40M barely a year later. BUT doing '"hustle" jobs in Canada when I have a cushy potential 1.5m+ job here... tough choice

GloriousGbola:
Before long youll have your papers guaranteed

Well, that was my understanding but people actually living there are throwing sand in the gari!

pansophist:
40k USD sef too much. Some are looking for flights just to go back. Go to Milan, around the central stations with lots of African refugees wasting away, or Greece where they sell CD's to tourists, or even Biljmer Arena in Amsterdam, or Germany. These are places I know firsthand, don't know much about the Uk, only visited but I still think it is similar.

I repeat, not 40k, just buy a flight come dash them like 5k usd, then off to Naija de go. Listen to sukkot, he knows what he is saying. If you dont want to end up unfortunately abroad, never come as a visitor.

How you enter determines how far you go. At a minimum, enter as a student, better on a work permit, best is pr, but the VIP of all is to be married to a citizen and enter as a spouse.

In other words I should take the 500K to 1.5K job and forget Canada. Well, I can assure you I'll never forget Caca. Canada, oh Canada!

SunMusk:
With what I know now I will stay in Nigeria with the 40k, are you kidding me. Even if I don't know anything I will still take the 40k.

So that was hypothetical. This is real life. And given Tinubu, removal of subsidy and all, do you still feel same?

sukkot:
if i do leave nigeria it would be for a black country. like say ghana or rwanda. am done with white man country

My bros that was hypothetical, this is my REAL life. What would be your advice as a well-traveled guy?

otunbadan:
I DON'T KNOW YOU, and you don't know me.

I never said i live in Chicago because i don't, I am not in Nigeria .... I have told you that if you get mind, put your money on the table I will call you video call, I will pin my location and go and snap a bus-stop ... i will call u video call ... or better still >>> i will go to a local college close to me and call you from their sign post ...

I feel like proofing a point to you ... BUT put the money on the table sir/ma

I meant Canada and you KNOW it!! My friend you are NOT in Canada. We already KNOW that! Anybody in Canada won't be doing all this too much talk. They'll simply prove it by photo, then demand payment. We KNOW you are NOT in Canada! You are not fooling anybody.
otunbadan is a fraud!
He is fraudulently claiming he's in Caca when he is NOT!!

otunbadan:
Tor … that’s why Una Dey experience the shagey!!!

Others are moving on !!!

Hope you see the irony

Moving on from what? Moving on from Tinubu being a known criminal or what?
And what's the irony you're talking about?

otunbadan:
I DEY GAME …. In will top it up with video call for you …. !!!! Choose the escrow and let me know

You already exposed yourself. We already know you're NOT in Chicago. It is psychology. Anybody in Chicago won't be waiting for a bet on Nairaland - something we know is impossible. You've been tricked into exposing yourself

Twale boda mi. Ma binu. Only being discrete. Not everything is meant for public consumption. I look forward hearing from you

Well you're one of about 10 people who sent me dm.
Imagine if I were to start answering them all - it'll become a full time job!
Just have some balls and post whatever it is here

virginchaser:
It's less stressful if you are not married. Many families in Nigeria are passing through emotional stress. It's seems there no peace in the world anymore. Some are dieing to go while some are bringing back their families.

I'm not married and that's part of it. I have a dream of meeting my international partner over there and setting up an international family. Don’t know why our folks there don't do that

dayjeee:
500k isnt a big salary in nigeria today, you cant live comfortably with a family with that amount... please run to canada and dont look back

You obviously haven't been reading the thread or you'll know the salary is probationary and quickly doubles and more, but the ground is on fire under my feet and "run to Canada" is what my heart wants, though common sense and people in the know advice some delay!

olufak2001:
I also have 5-year Canadian visa since last December but I'm not willing to move now because it's a VV and I don't want to be stranded overthere.

I bought my ticket since July but my brother overthere said I can't really do much with VV. I tire oooooo.

Wow, we're almost in the same predicament. Same advice from my prospective hosts over there. What sort of 5-year do you have. Mine is 10 years but actually 8 years as that's when my passport expires
