Fabuloski:see this man who would give you engineering work, if you don't have oyibo experience through placement or internship who would give you engineering work? Where you have eastern Europeans, Americans all over the place. Unless you are talking of middle east. Please let us not deceive our people. If you are not in medical line or ICT, oyibo would give you minimum wage work to do. 1 Like |

Nice one Most Nigeria just think about getting rich as that what they think always. Here min wages will feed and pays your bills unlike Nigeria where min wages can’t even buy someone food in a month I don’t care to be rich but just want normal life for myself and family.

If you are going to Canada, go as a student or as a permanent resident. Even as PR, you may have to do odd jobs for few months. Some get on their feet within a year, some don't even in 3 years.....But with persistence ,prayers. good network, certifications, and further education, you will surely get better. You may have to start from the scratch. It is not as easy as being portrayed in Canada. Go to a cheaper province instead of the urge to live in Toronto or Vancouver. Don't buy a new car or rent an expensive apartment. If you are going to the US, go as a student and for a STEM degree that allows you to stay in the US for few years and be hopeful you will be on H1 B visa and get an employer that will sponsor you. If you are rich and can afford EB5 visa, then you can do whatever in the US. Most Nigerians go to the US on visiting visa and they expect they will become a millionaire overnight. Your immigration status in the US will determine how easy life is for you. Nigerians do a lot of things to 'regularize' their status in the USA........most are under the table arrangement and personally I won't advise such. UK is dicey. You need to be a top talent to get a good job after study. It is not all that easy, but some people still make it after graduate studies. I will advise Canada and USA, but know that your first one year may be challenging and this is the essence of the proof funds required for study and immigration. Build your CREDIT history in Canada if you are a PR. Borrow and pay as at when due and increase your limit. You can borrow and invest in Nigeria.......This is what many folks in Canada are doing right now. Above all, the advantages are there so also the disadvantages.....only that advantages outweigh the disadvantages if your status is legal. People are having a good life in Canada and USA and some people are living in regret. Some are having it hard in Nigeria and some are living the best of their lives here. You need to ask yourself some critical questions and you have to manage your expectations. I delayed my relocation to Canada because of a project here........I have my family members there and they are part of the lucky ones who are able to buy their houses within 3 years of relocation and are doing fine. But, you don't want to know how much they are OWING.....A good debt they call it because they have good jobs and good credit history and they are not 'expected' to clear the debt now......One of them is looking for business to do in Nigeria and also keen to come back as he now has his Canadian passport. I will relocate to the USA because of my wife and kids as soon as I can afford EB5 visa while I continue to work on my business in Nigeria. I will say this, if you don't have much to do in Nigeria and there is no hope of something coming up irrespective of your age, please japa if you have the means, albeit legally. If you have a good job here and you want to travel because of your children, have a plan and be resilient as you may have to do some odd jobs before you get a good job. There are testimonies of friends that got fantastic jobs within few weeks. Above all, let God and good planning lead you. 32 Likes 1 Share |

InfinixMine: Its is not as difficult as you think before you can start freelancing in the US you must possess a valid work permit or be a green card holder to get a client or work with a prospective company or organisation... Without that it's a crime to bid for jobs as an alien on US Freelancer websites 1 Choose a niche Specialised on what kind of work you can do and what kind of clients you can take on.. for me it's IT. 2. Get cleared on your service and offering decide what you do and what you don't do, be specific about the service you can render. 3. Define what you are in idea client looks like I want to design a website for a private business owner or an organisation. 4. You need to create high-quality portfolio website Showcase your expertise, show who you are, past projects 5. level up your skills As an IT developer you need to still keep learning more 6. You need to determine your pricing you need to decide on what to charge for your projects 7. Networking convince your existing customer or clients to get you more of their friends. 8. You can submit a proposal to a company which will include your portfolio that consist your past project you may be lucky 9. Finally you can create a social media platform and market your service online 3 Likes |

So many lies in this thread. I’ve been up and down the US and haven’t seen Nigerians begging on the streets. Your family members can afford to go home, they are not stuck here. They lie to you about being too broke to come home because they don’t want to leave their 24 hour electricity, clean running water, fast and cheap WiFi to go to Nigeria and go for days with no power, get eaten by mosquitoes, and see trash everywhere. Many immigrants are eligible for food stamps which is about $150 usd per person, A household of 5 of your relatives is probably getting about $750 in free food every month thanks to food stamps. Due to Covid, the government has been paying rents. If they tell you they are struggling, it is because they don’t want to share the money they are saving to go on vacation anywhere but Nigeria. 6 Likes |
