Is it a software developer or a web developer course?
it depends on how you look at it. If you build an application that runs on desktop or web or mobile devices as far as I'm concerned you are a software engineer.

still on course bro. At least I have gotten some interesting feedback. It's also educational for others. I was actually trying to get more feedback from others who have been involved in setting up a startup or have been gainfully employed as a remote worker or have relocated for work abroad

I'm almost in the same situation.
That's why I was hoping more people can contribute.

I work remotely and I'm being pressured by family to travel out but I don't really see why.
I live in a very highbrow area here in Nigeria and I live like a king.
Plentiful respect, girls throwing themselves at me, I always have my way with police.
Like, I have access to the best of best here in Nigeria.

I'm not really sure I'd want to give up all that just to live like an ordinary immigrant abroad.

I also have plans for a future startup here in Naija (I'm very afraid of failure tho. Startups here have a high failure rate.)

So you see, I'm as ambivalent as you are about this situation.

There are many things to consider that's why I'm taking my time. For instance there is war in Europe you never can tell what will happen any moment. I'm not really keen on living abroad but will prefer the freedom of traveling to any part of the world when I want at any given time. It's not an easy decision that's why I'm trying to sample opinion. I feel like once I relocate there is no looking back.

Yeah, me too.
If I make the move then that's it. No turning back.

Another reason why I'm hesitant is that fact of marriage. Mek pesn no divorce me come collect my half of my properties. As if she dey there with me when I wan shedding blood and tears, when I was putting in extreme hard work and sleepless nights in order to be where I am now.
Because I swear to God, I will assassinate her, even if its the last thing I do on earth.

Na why Nigeria dey more appealing to me.

I'd appreciate it if someone with a more compelling reason contributes to this thread.

I worked as a freelancer for some years and I just love the freedom.

I'm starting as a Data Analyst, then later transition into Data Engineering where I can know more about Cloud and hopefully combine the two titles: DE & Cloud Engineer.

I've not really done anything for my parents. cry So I'd like to work remotely while I stay in Naija for a while bfor relocating.

Finish your nigerian projects to a satisfiable level, when you're done, go to the UK to gain more experience for a few years, then after that decide if you want to come back to Nigeria or not.

You can sign a prenup

It depends on what you are looking at, your cost of living might be higher out there, but your exposure might be better.
What you can do is to go visit your brother once in a while probably stay for 4 weeks, I think by the time you repeat this every five month you would know where you want to be... It is like looking at the crime section and looking at the programming section ... if you focus on each one only for four weeks you would have a different perspective to life.

this is one of my line of thought. I felt if I launch a startup though I'll have to be available to nurture it. One of the business lesson I learnt from the late Sunny Ojeagbase is that any business idea I'm pursuing I can start small but always think global. So it's a principle that's guiding me. Any skill I'm learning or business I'm venturing to should be something I can take anywhere in the world even if I'm relocating. But the challenge is now to find a balance in product, services or skills I can be successful with locally and at the same time globally

Go to a better country, be confident in yourself, create a startup or raise enough capital, come back to Nigeria, more people will be willing to invest in you when you have built that name
