Hmm, for post graduation plans in Germany, is "coming back" the best answer to give?

Yes even though you know in your mind that you are not going back to Nigeria

Lovely thread.
I hope one day I will be able to share my testimony in this thread. Graduated this year, although funds is proving stubborn but will go bend.

Attendance marked.

Tips for prospective immigrants of Canada and other western countries

If you are emigrating to Canada, unlearn a lot of things. And learn healthier habits/lifestyles. E.g. Dating here is different in a lot of ways. No one is responsible for your bills, or for funding your lifestyle. If you can't afford a cab, you take the bus or bike, or walk...etc

If your colleagues invite you to any celebratory lunch, dinner, the movies etc., please also come with your own funds because the bills will likely be split.

Expect to pay for alcoholic beverages (at the bar) when you invited to social events/weddings, unless hosted by Nigerians

There is hardly any "rich uncle/aunty" to 'dash' you free money. The rich uncles/aunties are also paying their mortgages/bills/taxes - the higher you earn, the more that taxes. It is socially unacceptable to beg random folks for money online/offline, unless it is a "go-fund-me."

PAY YOUR DEBTS ON TIME

This is a trust-driven and credit-based system. You ability to pay your bills and debts on time, e.g, even if it is a minimum payment on credit cards, is valued over paying late and in full. Learn a lot about how credit works and your credit/FICO score..

The system rewards DISCIPLINE, DELAYED GRATIFICATION, DCA and LIVING WITHIN YOUR MEANS.
If you are a 2-person household, at least one should register a business, even if you work 9 to 5. File all your taxes, even if you do not earn a lot. File personal/business. Keep all receipts

If you emigrate to the GTA/suburbs, and use the viva bus, it is largely a trust-honor-based system. The bus driver will NOT ask you for proof of ticket before/after you board. You are simply expected to have your ticket based on trust. Once in a while, olopa will enter & check o!

The bus fare is about $4 or so. However, if you think you can get away with anyhowness/not buy a ticket, the day olopa catches you, you will get a ticket, go to court, and pay a hefty fine. Plus the public disgrace when you are asked to step down from the bus. BUY YOUR TICKETS O!

Live within your means, cut your coat according to your material. No one really gives a shit whether you have bone-straight or gold cufflinks. Or whether you drive a jag or corolla. If you have a decent job/good credit, you can access a lot of things. No needless competition..

IF you do it right, in 5 to 7 years, you will be amazed at how well you are doing. Be patient with yourself. The initial 1 to 4 years may not be so smooth, however, it will all eventually pay off. Get involved with community/volunteer/ask for access to resources/be open/learn

Do not look down on any work/job opportunity. DO NOT look down on people based on what you think they have or what they do. Here, there is DIGNITY in labour, eventually, the PhD that drives a cab gets into his/her field, the Doctors working as PSW get into med school and thrive

Have something you do on the side, regardless of your day job. Even if you emigrate with a lot of funds, try to get a job - you will understand the system better when you immerse yourself. And you will thrive better in business if you grasp the work culture/HR/systems/regulations

In your initial years as an immigrant, no do pass yourself when it comes to black tax. Learn to say NO to those asking for money back home, unless it is for health emergencies. You need to be able to stand well before you help others, if not you get trapped in a cycle of struggle

If you can, keep a low profile in those early years; FOCUS -on your studies, professional exams, work, getting settled, understanding the system. Fill your cup first, put on your seatbelt first, before you try pour a drink or fasten the belt of others. Don't try to impress anyone

Remember, you can love Nigeria very well from afar. Go back only when you are ready/have the mental courage to thrive there, & leave again if it does not work out
Wherever you are, simple EXCEL! Success attracts many. Nigerian Govt will find you & "Dabirize" you

Please be very pragmatic when you are choosing your courses here in school. You can always go back to study what you are passionate about. At the initial stages - it may be better to take on courses that have a strong demand in the labour market so your finances/bills are healthy

If you are single, consider being open to dating Nigerians/other Africans/races, not just Nigerians. Even though Canada is far, "handsome Yoruba demons" & "fine wicked Igbo girls" still dey o. These 2 groups dey connect well well here & sabi love each other uniquely. Be wise!

Make sure you have insurance, car/home/life etc. Especially if you have a family. If you have children, open an RESP account asap. If 18 and above, have a TFSA..

Disclaimer - Abeg, all dis na suggestions/personal opinions
No matter what you earn, develop a habit of SAVING/INVESTING.

P.S: Some unscrupulous Naija pastors here will deceive you to pay tithe/sow seed with your CREDIT CARDS & they even have POS in church! Abeg, flee from them o. If you must, tithe from your pay; no go carry gbese o!

Young and old, as you come to Canada, pleaseeeee ABSTAIN, OR USE CONDOM/USE CONTRACEPTIVE O!

Canada does NOT joke with CHILD SUPPORT! 18 YEARS!

Think twice before cohabiting with anyone o! Canada does NOT joke with COMMON LAW UNIONS o, whether una marry officially or not. PLS!

CANADA is officially a FEMINIST NATION O! It also protects the RIGHTS OF ALL REGARDLESS OF GENDER OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR RELIGION. It does NOT joke with SGBV, RAPE CULTURE SPECTRUM

Please unlearn all the patriarchy, misogyny, sexism, homophobia, transphobia. No careless jokes!

CANADA is officially a FEMINIST NATION O! It means EQUITY/FULL AGENCY/RIGHTS/ACCESS. AND EQUAL RESPONSIBILITIES/CONSIQUENCES.

If you are a woman and you earn much more than your spouse, if you divorce, you will likely pay ALIMONY to him. If the man earns more, he pays to his ex

MAN/WOMAN, BOYS/GIRLS, please learn to cook. Learn to care for your children. Learn to do house chores. Learn to be financially independent. If you're a couple, learn to be accountable to each other. Learn gender fluidity in terms of roles/responsibilities. CHILDCARE is EXPENSIVE

Seems like Normay may be my best bet

You don't like Germany?

You don't like Germany?

This questions feels as if you're asking me if I don't like money

NiklauseFred:


Seems like Normay may be my best bet

Yes, but that is if you have the money.. If you are on low budget, go for Poland then cross to Norway or Germany

Hadampson:


Yes, but that is if you have the money.. If you are on low budget, go for Poland then cross to Norway or Germany

How about Norway in terms of Study Route
Is it cheaper?

Hadampson:


Yes, but that is if you have the money.. If you are on low budget, go for Poland then cross to Norway or Germany

Swears boss! That's a nice idea
I heard that Poland gives scholarships

Richdee1:

Deducing from what he wrote up there,I may say that it may be a little expensive to study there,i think it may be due to low jobs.

_{just my thoughts}

Richdee1:

No, it is not. Norway and cheap is like a parallel line, they can never meet

NiklauseFred:

Yes and the tuition fee is not that expensive sef. Although it depends on the institution you choose

NiklauseFred:

_{just my thoughts}

Not even that, the country was ranked as the 2nd most expensive country to live in the world last year but if an international student can get a part time job while studying in Norway, then living there won't be a problem

Hadampson:


Yes, but that is if you have the money.. If you are on low budget, go for Poland then cross to Norway or Germany

Poland via study?

Modified: It seems my question was addressed earlier

quote author=Potbellied post=104972773]I'm not sure this is the right thread to do this but i will, with apologies.

I plan to write the TOEFL exam either by late September or early October, and I'm in search of an assiduous person(s) who we can study, read, and practice together.

- Any gender is welcome

- Must have learning materials handy (I have books and materials I read, myself)

Anyone in?[/quote]
