krissconnect: It's not about envy.. When you ask someone from abroad a link to travel.. 1. If you are from a rich family or you are financially okay... he or she won't hesitate to drop the link because he believes you don't need his help to survive until you balance.... ( your settle your own accommodation even before u arrive and you stock up the fridge) so he knows... you ain't a liability 2. If you not from a rich family and you are a hustler coming to hustle... he will likely give you story... not because he or she hates you... but he believes you will be a burden to him financially Your coming may increase his bills to extra $250/month additional to what he has to pay before... You won't know all dis... but he it will be difficult for dat person... Some people when dey arrive...dey will tell d host... just let me manage with u 1month... dat 1 months will turn to 7month... na how the nigga won take manage him life... Lastly some are living in terrible condition... Forget about the pictures in street you see.. Some are struggling due to lack of document.. They wanna keep that life to themselves alone until dey get wot dey are looking for If you visit them... their lifestyle will be expose and u may cast them to people back home... In short... when u too travel you will understand My advice... forget does guys... Go online and seek information If u too lazy find a trusted agent to help u move God bless 8 Likes |

Sassy256:they want to see it like they are finding it difficult but that's not reality over there. Nigerians are like people that don't want you to over shine them , i.e the reason of all the discouragement. |

SIRTee15: I am telling you the reality of life abroad for the majority of Nigerians who will japa!!!! I am privileged, I have citizenship, I was a high rate tax payer which means I was considered well off in the Uk but I can back home because there are certain things money can’t buy. If you can raise the money for a ticket you can raise the money to start and grow a business in Nigeria!!!! Trust me if you are the kind of person that cannot find a business to do in Nigeria with the money it would cost you to move abroad, you are the kind of person that will be stuck in a rut if you move abroad. You are the sort that will find they can’t go forward, can’t go backwards once you get there. 7 Likes |

MT: I faced what the man said listening to Nigerians saying Nigeria is worse... It's all a lie... I faced lot... Did lot and lost lot before I realized it's better I live a better life than listen to what people will say about me when I come back with nothing... My experience is not even as worse as some other cos I went to other african countries people were saying it's better than Nigeria and I realized all is a lie... Once you lift your leg off Nigeria boder the suffering starts... I lived in places I can't even stay in Nigeria I even realized one bag of water in ghana is equivalent to almost 500 naira nigeria money... One coke in benin republic is equivalent to almost 500 naira Nigeria money... No jobs even menial jobs you won't see unless a very bad one... I suffered lol Thank God I am back and trying to start over but I lost a lot and I knew all what people say about nigeria being a worst country is a lie... If you are eating comfy even no electricity buy gen you will live nice than most people moving abroad all it takes is a job that pays all... In Nigeria I will say we pay lesser or no tax at all... That's another pros again that covers most cons 5 Likes |

We are in the same boat. I stopped caring about what people say, I got little peace. Now, I stopped caring about what families say, my peace knows no bounds. My elder sister demand also made me go rob chase bank. Now, I don't give 2 cent. I handle my business, take care of my mother, pay tuition for my nieces and nephews and the rest can go find a job...

They won't advise you to move because you will later insult them for not tell you everything about abroad. Abroad is not a bed of roses, the kind of suffering you will see at first will make you to keep enmity with whoever advice you to travel. And during that stressful early stage you may want to rely on them for survival and that is what they don't want because they themselves have not really achieve what they really want to achieve. Most of them abroad have not gotten the complete document to live peacefully, they are still struggling to survive 3 Likes |

Raregem9000: Bro visit visa this days doesn't work with cousins or relatives ...not like they cancelled it but the chances is very slim... They only wanna see parents to children Children to parent Siblings to Siblings You see those three level... na straightforward.. Tho your cousing could hav advice you to try study route... even tho it's expensive The only strong reason your cousin won't invite you is because... if you get the visa... his own paper will be documented as guarantor... If you commit crime.... They won't jail him... but he may loose his documents or sent back home... that's if you runaway... So all man for himself... find ur own link and move 2 Likes |

IF DON'T HAVE A GOOD PLAN DON'T ATTEMPT TO TRAVEL OUT. YOU WILL BE FRUSTRATED. CANADA, UK, S/KOREA HAS BETTER OPPORTUNITIES IF YOU DONT HAVE ANYTHING SOLID IN NIGERIA, BUT IF YOU ARE EARNING UPTO 400K AND YOU CHOOSE TO TRAVEL; YOU MIGHT REGRET IF YOU DONT HAVE A GREAT SKILL OR PLAN. YOUR FRIENDS DONT HATE YOU, THEY ARE REGRETING THEIR ACTION & DDONT WANT YOU TO SUFFER. ONCE YOUR IN WITHOUT A GOOD SKILL OR PLAN, THE RAT-RACE BEGINS AND IT IS ENDLESS. YOU CAN EARN AS MUCH AS 3000 CANADIAN DOLLARS AND NOT BE ABLE TO SAFE A DOLLAR EVERY MONTH. TAX WILL TAKE 31%. YOU ARE LEFT WITH 2070 DOLLARS, RENT, UTILITIES, TRANSPORTAND FOOD AND OTHERS CAN TAKE 2000. 3 Likes |

casualobserver: Ticket to from lagos to london is 500k, that's what u want to use to start business in Nigeria? I laff in buhari's style. From your comment, I absolutely agree with you that u are very privileged. U dont know anything about street life in Naija. You probably came back to a nice apartment in ikoyi, have the right contact and connection to get you the a cool effortless job. everything is at your beck and call. sorry, we are not talking about people like u. Someone like u shouldnt have left naija in the 1st place. upper class dont relocate anywhere in the world. relocation is mainly a middle class affair- be it africa, china or india. These are the people who needs extra space to see road clearly- something western countries offer. 13 Likes |

SIRTee15: You are wrong with your narrative. Read what that person you quoted (@casualobserver) wrote. That was the pure truth. I'm sorry, I suspect you haven't lived in any country apart from Nigeria; please do not consider that as derogatory remark. The person you quoted has seen it all, and I can relate to what he's saying. 6 Likes |

Originalsly: I am in Lagos, if the person is doing well in the village he should just remain there because so many people are in lagos because there was nothing for them where are coming from, if all was well I wouldn't be in Lagos. General cost of living is here, the basics things you get cheap in other places are expensive in Lagos. 4 Likes |

Bro, nobody owes u anything, if u need to leave i beg in the the name of God, make sure its legit, dont overstay ur visa especially if its USA,its getting tough here, and by the time Trump comes back in power , its going to be hell for undocumented immigrants. EveryOne will tell you, come u will find woman to marry and get ur kpali, but guy even the women don wise up, they are dealing with men , collect money and disapper before interview day and nothing u can do about it. Even honest guys who truly want to settle down are not finding it easy at all not to talk if the ones paying . If u come in legit, and u have skills, especially IT, guy u wil find job. 5 Likes |

luminouz: Help comes in so many ways my brother. If nah to show you the way to enter and establish yourself, why not. I follow in the footsteps of those who helped me settle down by helping others too in my own little ways. I prayed that God use me for people too, and He did recently with the people that migrated from Ukraine. I am not where I want to be, but I believe I am on the right track and I bless God for that. So it depends on how you want me to help you, if it is something within my power, why not. If nah, Information, I fit share the one I get, and source for more, and if nah to help you settle down, God go do am. I have a lot of job connections, but housing is a very big problem here sha. I don accommodate two people for my bunk already, but we fit still arrange. But again, you still won't really have accommodation issue if you enter say through a student visa sha 3 Likes |
