I'm 24 years of age finished nysc and graduated a couple of years ago. Job searching but nothing tangible out of it.

I'm opportuned as my family members are ready to sponsor me to study abroad but we're not rich just a average Nigeria family who can raise funds to do it. But the thing is that I'm having double minds as to whether to lobby and pay for a federal government job or start making plans to leave naija but the problem is that the money is there but no connect there.

What do you think I should decide ON?

Whether to stay in naija and lobby for a federal job or Start making plans to go abroad? But the thing is that we can gather the money to buy a slot if possible but no connect.

Ogbeni......

Zoom out now that you have the opportunity, while studying there, also hustle for your foundation capital on return back to naija (assuming your study terms does not allow you to stay back there after studies).

Oluwa by your side, by the time you will be coming back to this country, 1 dollar should be amounting to N500k.

So your small "foundation capital" out there will help you launch your brand (business) in a big way here.

Very soon the average workers monthly take home will be less than 1 dollar.

This administration scored zero in micro and macro economic management,

You are very funny.

Most FG slots are above N3m now. Some for N9m. Is that not stupidity ?

Some FG workers graduate level, don't see N100k per month after working for 5 years. What kind of useless job is that ?

I had a friend in the force, 13 years down the line salary never reach N100k.

Is like you don't understand how abroad works, at your age, it's understandable why you are afraid to travel. Just take the step.

Once you graduate abroad, you can work for 2 to 4 years before leaving their country back home, or use that 2-4yrs to process your permanent residency.

Just avoid Britain. They don't have such space..

My dear, before you travel abroad ask questions. Not all abroad are abroad. I live in Kazakhstan and I thank God I left Nigeria because i know someone here and there was a job waiting for me but the problem is that many Nigerians who are coming here,the so called agents don't tell them the truth that in many countries, you will be shocked at the kind of jobs you will do and your expectations of being a millionaire overnight might not come to pass. So there r many factors that might hindered your Eldorado. So ask better questions oo

Anyways how that side be self?
Re: Choosing To Stay And Lobby For A Federal Job Or Travel Abroad For Studies by ModelLook(m): 7:30pm On Aug 17, 2021
Those Abroad will always say and I quote
"Don't come Abroad. Things are so hard bla bla bla. America is this and that. We pay lots of bills and that".

Before you say A, they would have already started telling you their money problems. It's so Pathetic. When you tell them to come back to Nigeria then, they will keep quiet.
They stupidly say they pay bills becos they think we use our Saliva to pay ours angry

I think this OP has such friends telling him this. For some, it's their own Uncle's and Aunties telling them that.

Shine your eyes.

Don't think about it.

Travel now before you live to regret it.
The future isnt yours to see.

And if you don't want to go, no pressure.

Okpo travel! Nigeria is only enjoyable for people that earn like 700k above, at least you will live like a big man and not work killing hours and spend 70% of your salary on bills and Taxes.

But what is a young man like you going to do with peanut government salaries? Except you wan theive money o! No try am!

If 700k salary is the bench mark for people that enjoy the country it means 95% of salary earners in Nigeria are suffering.

Whom do you want to pay for the fg job? Have it at the back of your mind that 90% of those that claim to sell slot are scammers. They will sell fake appointment to you and you won't be able to do anything. Even if you catch them and arrest them with police, your money won't still enter your hand again. Therefore, I urge caution. If you can go for your masters in UK, US, Australia, Germany or Canada, do not hesitate to get out. Leave FG jib for politician children and relatives.

Yes na, if you earn 700k in Nigeria you have no business Migrating overseas to look for Greener pasture. No doubt you will earn more, but your bills keep increasing as well! Las las you will enjoy what you paid for.

Please let those same sponsors pool money together and you can start business here. At this stage, use the skills you learned in school + NYSC, solve a need, and get paid for it.

Those who are able to travel abroad anyhow made it in business here in Nigeria. Those abroad can barely afford to visit once every couple years.

Just one point to consider: how many Nigerian residents visit Dubai weekly? I say visit for tourism, not to go and hustle. How much is ticket and hotel? Whatever business they're doing in Nigeria is fetching them more money to fund their trip than OP will see from the family sponsoring him to the abroad.

I haven't added the weekly visitors to UK and other countries. How about all those guys going to buy spare parts in China monthly? Or the textiles and wigs importers? We just read an article about somebody making millions being a middle-man to rice traders. And all the real estate being built? Who's buying all those luxury cars? Not only yahoo boys or corrupt officials oh.

People will say it's Nigerians abroad spending all this money, but most Nigerians abroad can hardly come up with $500 monthly to say they want to invest. In spite of the bad rep this economy is getting, things are happening, people are investing, spending, and building.

I'm of the opinion that every young and ambitious Nigerian should flee the country, the earlier the better. Unlike many young people in Nigeria, you've people who are WILLING to sponsor your education overseas. Not many young Nigerians have able sponsors let alone those who are willing. For them to say they will sponsor you, they will likely spend the minimum of N10M especially if it's in a western country. That's what you want to let go for a federal job? Same job in a country which is about to be declared bankrupt? A country that with the way things are going, most people would resort to slamming their heads five times daily? Where there is runaway inflation? The future of Nigeria is precarious and she is going to be either or all of the following: Lebanon, Venezuela, Afghanistan and Zimbabwe. That's Nigeria's future, don't allow anyone gaslight or deceive you. Is that what you want instead of a sane life in a place where things work?
I beg to differ. It is just general inferiority complex that makes Africans assume everything western is the ideal or gold standard. The mindset is so rampant. If it is not American or European dictated or defined. Then it isn't good, ideal, right for the rest of the world. It is a very stinking mindset. We have been so badly conditioned in such ugly ways. Virtually all Asians Economic power houses today defines WESTERN economic model and predictions to become who they are. Good and bad governance can manifest through any system of government. Democracy, Absolute Monachy, Military/Authoritarian et al. It is not system of government that guarantees good governance. It is the values and ideals that power the quality of governance, not the model of government. Democracy creates and give the people the most convincing illusions of representatives government. And you know, for humans, perception is often stronger than facts. The extremist liberal who insists on imposing alternative social and sexual lifestyles on others is not different from those with extreme religious views and practices. The former utilizes social and economic terrorism to further their agenda while the latter employ brute force. It is why we have cancel culture today. It is why some government or organisations will withhold funding or threaten to sabotage trade relationships unless certain social or sexual lifestyles are accepted. What's the different between the two? One now finds it offensive to even call humans by their naturally assigned gender. It is even now offensive to describe pregnant womaen as such but pregnant people. You either accept or get cancelled. A man in the US was forced to pay for his son's gender re-assignment even though he strongly opposed the idea of sex change for his son. A teacher in one of these western countries referred to certain students by their natural gender and she was sacked immediately for trying to install a bias on their minds. That, at such a young age the group of female kids in particular haven't made up their minds yet about their sexual orientation. These are various degree of forces of the law and social apparatus that are being used to perpetuate their evil agenda. These people resort to force because they cannon make their cases on basis of logical reasoning. Two-gender is not a social construct. And fluid-gender has no basis in science. To the Op, the best bet is to leave this country. You can consider Norway, they had free tuition fee for masters students. Just get about 6million as block account, then you are good to go. Moreso, Canada, New Zealand and Australia aren't bad either. You should endeavour to stay put after your studies. Coming back to the country after your studies could likely be disastrous. Also, we all should know that the government (Federal, state and LG) can't give every teeming Nigerians jobs. It is their sole duty(government) to provide enabling environment and standard infrastructures.
Finally, we must all learn to be as realistic as possible in our disposition to life. We that had almost free education in Nigeria, from basic to college. How do we survived without job? We all have friends, families, course mates, neighbours et al who are in same mess with us. We had siblings and aged parents who are dependent. We got no connection, no money to buy job slots or venture into business. We all can't resorts to cyber crime. What is the way forward? Some of us are pushing through against all odds. Against the difficulty in the country, against all the depression and frustration Nigeria brings to our way on a daily basis, against those who told us we are not doing well, against those who tries to downplay our efforts and against those who tries to make us feel terrible for the life we are currently living.

Life isn't fair to us all.
