Dear Great Nairalanders

I am in urgent need of your advice on a decision I am about to make that could shape my life and my young family in about few months from now.

I am currently running successful businesses which give me a steady minimum of N1.5M per month with a potential for expansion. I have been nursing the idea of going to UK on a study Visa by September this year with the hope that I can get a well paying job that could surpass my current earnings here in naijja. I also intend to keep my naija business running but we all know trusting people with kind of investment can be tricky and risky.

What assurance do I have about earning more and having a better life in UK? What happens to my businesses I already built up in Naija? What happens to my properties here in naija?

Your advice will be of great help at this critical decision making moment of my life. Thank you

The Uber driver who carried me while in Uk in June said he makes average of £1k weekly

Abeg which work u dey do o

naijaclass:
MOD will just carry irrelevant topics to the front page, most of this stories are just to bring unnecessary conversations , they are not true, how can someone who says he earns 1.5m monthly still want to go to UK to look for job. Is there any sense in this post.

lexy2014:
You have the sense to make 1.5m naira in a month but u don't have the sense to know what will happen to your properties and businesses when or if you leave for the UK? Am I missing something here?

kelvindj98:
Dont fall for all these nairaland stories. People who earn high income in naija don wastw their time typing on a internet forum.

Hello, I will advise you base on experience, I live in Europe myself, if your motivation of moving abroad is money, I will advise you to stay put in nigeria, 1.5m is alot of money in naija, that should be about 2kpounds, but if your family is your motivation, your children or future ones, I guess it's better you move abroad, at least the basic infrastructure of life will not be their problem, eg, education, health, security etc. Nigeria will surely get better, that's our prayer and nothing like home. Thanks

I don't know why people will leave an environment they know very well to move to a place they know nothing about...... It will take you minimum of 5 years in UK to be on profit level, now add that 5 years to your business, you should be on CEO level.... Why moving to a country that is not yours and can never be yours.... 5 years from now you should be talking about sending your kids to UK to get whatever exposure they will need in this world

You can still travel to UK, stay for like 4 weeks , make your research, see things for yourself.... No be person go tell you to run back home and continue with what you are doing.... You want to know the truth? You are doing well.

@planetx,

Your opinion. I believe you don't even believe yourself hence your disbelief.

Fake story, 99% of Nigerians living in that rubbish UK will trade places with you. But never mind you are earning 1.5 milla in your dreams.

Guk:
As a post graduate degree student, you are officially allowed 20 hours a week to work & average of 10pounds per hour gives you 800pounds a month....roughly N600k a month. As said above here, you can earn more if you are on the skills shortage list.

You will be amazed that 800 pounds a month in U.K. gives you as much comfort as N1.5m in Nigeria.

The decision should be based on your future's road map though

Bahamas95:
I don't know if others have noticed what's happening in our darling Nairaland.com these days. I have noticed people now create threads to showoff..........Just watch out, tomorrow you will see another similar topic of a nairalander asking us to help him choose between buying a private jet or a yatch.

ednut1:
There is no guarantee you will get job after graduation. If your occupation is not in shortage list in uk you are likely to get frustrated. Alot of Nigerians rushing to school in uk will learn soon. But hey nigeria is hell already

Sukkyy2010:
If I can be making roughly 300k monthly from my little doing...I believe 1.5m is feasible for someone with a bit while existing business.

If I expand my business in two fold there's feasible chance I'll earn close to what this op claim his earning.

So don't doubt what has never been your experience bcoz you can only see within your circle unless you change your quadrant.

Lekan239:
some people make way very much more than that per month working at home. I know of someone making over 5m/ month working at home

kelvindj98:
They are all fake stories. I figured it out a while back.

WoundedLamb:
Assurance? There're nothing like assurance when it comes to making such moves. It's a big-risk-big-reward kinda thing. Seeing that you're not into some of those so-called hot professions, I suggest you apply caution. Consider the fact that it'll take some time before you reach your full potential in the UK as an immigrant on student visa. And even when you eventually start earning more, what you should consider is your savings after recurring expenses and not the amount itself cause naturally, what you earn in pounds would seem to be higher. It could go either ways but another factor you must take into consideration is the amenities and security you'd enjoy, and of course, the future you'd be providing for your kids. It's not all about money.
