I relocated in 2019 for my Masters degree, and that is by far the best decision I have made in my life.

Good to know. I also did my Msc in the UK , which boosted my skillsets in working with children and adolescents.

sokeril:
Been following your argument sir.
What will your advice be for a lawyer ,nine years post bar,34,already has his own law firm and employ lawyers he is paying..he is doing very well here but his wife who is a nurse in UK is telling him to come and relocate to Uk permanently.
In your opinion and with your experience sir, should he make the move?
God bless you sir

Since his wife is a nurse in the UK, that means he could work in the UK. He should continue his practice here in Nigeria, write the UK bar exams and get licensed to practice in the UK as well. So He practices in both countries. I know a SAN who practices both in Nigeria and Canada.

saggis:





If you apply a little common sense, you will see that most of the commentators in support of staying in Nigeria and making here have all traveled outside Nigeria at one time or another. Most are actually returnees.

This has nothing to do with jealousy. Some of us cannot stand the daily life in the West. Coupled with the total lack of respect for black Africans.

Will you keep-quite
Many of them Their one corner room in abule egba dissing about abroad
Ordinary passport they do not have
Nonsense no be only travel and come Back
All the comments reeks of jealousy

Be like say you never touch money for your life before
Cos as it is now 500k is just like 50k
All thanks to your useless currency

gassbee:
if u are earning 500k n cant give urself some degree of a quality life then something is wrong with u financially

saggis:




Fishing for what?!. Some of you are just too darn pessimistic. A lot worse than White people when it comes to doing business in Nigeria with Nigerians. If you have chosen to be buried in the West, good for you. It's your right. But do not discourage those who are looking for ways to invest in Nigeria, but need assistance.

From your comments, I can see that you are totally crippled with fear of losing your money. Please KEEP IT.

Ask your self is your shithole Nigeria even business environment friendly?
We can see how companies are folding up
No stable electricity
Internet war
You can’t even travel to another state
Nah bandit go kill you for road
Like I don’t even know what is wrong with you people
Stay in your Nigeria allow people abroad to enjoy themselves
If they check now you don’t even have 200k in your account
You cannot even build. House
Cos that useless country called Nigeria no hope there

I lived in Europe and have been to US so I know what I'm talking about.

The vast majority of Black people in those countries live on credit and are 10th class citizens. Even dogs are treated better than blacks.

Many Nigerians are even 3rd class citizens and refugees in their own country
Come here be talking about Europe and America
I get all of una time today

Just think about it, you can be wealthy in Nigeria and get kidnapped for ransom or get killed by a mumu police officer
That alone is worth leaving the country for

It’s not me,it’s my elder brother.
He has his own law firm already and is doing well in his career but his wife who is a nurse in UK is trying to force him to relocate to the UK.

she is just afraid of loosing her husband to sexy side chicks here

ayandee:

Since his wife is a nurse in the UK, that means he could work in the UK. He should continue his practice here in Nigeria, write the UK bar exams and get licensed to practice in the UK as well. So He practices in both countries. I know a SAN who practices both in Nigeria and Canada.

Thank you sir,I will tell him this.
She has been threatening him that if he doesn’t move then they should divorce.
A man with a law firm,and making cool money...
I’m just scared all his hard work here might go to the drains.

Fearyourcreator:

Alaiye stop lieing joor... If you in Nigeria why dem never kidnap u.. And if you are not then you saying what you dont know

Lie!! Maybe you're not conversant with what's happening in your environment. What happened to me personally is even worst than been kidnapped. Nigeria really failed me despite my trust in her and my patriotism never favour. I regretted not leaving Nigeria when I was young. I pray you will experience what's I've experienced due to useless government we have here

hodari:


You won't admit it, but I'm sure you went on that cruise using credit (debt). Nobody can afford anything in these developed countries without debt.

You went on a cruise but nobody wants to interact with you on the cruise because they think you're servants / waiters. Imagine living life at the bottom of society, despised, scorned and treated like trash, no matter how much money you have.

Your kids are grown up but probably act like Akatas and have no African culture again. They're probably into homosexuality, pornography (onlyfans), drugs and other degenerate behaviour accepted as normal in the West.

Wow !!!! Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed or what? By the way how is your African Culture doing for yaa. You keep to your side of the track I will keep to mine.

Fearyourcreator:

Ask yourself all those questions. If you follow for people wey vote this administration, thunder *****

GeneralShepherd:


Oga you people should stop this cock and bull story. Majority of oyibo don't have 10000 USD in their bank account?

How do you know this? Tell me. You people talk all this nonsense about mortgage and loans, you think anybody can go to a bank and get any loan they want.

You dont know loans are means tested. When you see someone living in 2m dollar house, they put it in 20% of that money down to begin with which is 400k. Then what ever job they have must be able to cover three times the mortgage payment that is how mortgages are means tested. If you go to any major city in the world the majority of houses there are over 800K , from Melbourne, to Toronto, to New York and even Sydney.

Many Nigerian immigrants but houses that are at least 600K. 10% down is 60K which can build a house in most areas in Nigeria. After that down payment most of us pay a mortgage of nearly 3200 every month comfortably because banks will not give you a mortgage you can't pay comfortably. Again keep deceiving yourself but at least don't deceive people.


I don't have any issues with y'all saying these things to convince yourself you are better off in Nigeria but you are deceiving other Nigerians

I was being generous with the conversion, 7m is not up to 10000usd in the black market where majority of Nigerians buy dollars

I mean they are delusional they are comparing life in the USA to whatever they might have seen on YouTube. If it makes them happy thinking that they are better off in Nigeria that is okay. let them think that each individual situation is different.

Remnita:

Have touched money, and am pretty certain 500k per month salary is big money... if I may ask, how much do you earn presently in your current country and what property have you acquired so far ? ..... Note: just asking, not beefing

Gbam!!

Gerrard59:


To be honest, I cannot blame them, especially if one looks at the future of Nigeria. Some people prefer peace of mind and security, others prefer the fast lane. Like someone mentioned, the thought of driving through the night is something I cherish and owning that the chances of anything happening is very low. Nigeria is too unpredictable for me, so for those who say "you can make money here", that is one aspect of investing in the country. Before I left, I wanted to invest in having a cassava factory that would process large quantities of cassava and even begin an out-grower scheme within the locality. Only for me to read in the papers that Fulani herdsmen cut off the hands of the farm manager of a nearby cassava plantation. An aide to the governor owns the farm, and till date, the culprits have not been caught. You want to arrest senior citizens? Someone will mention Indians, Lebanese and Chinese, but don’t forget that most come with huge capital, the Nigerian government loves foreigners more than some Nigerians and these people have deep networks built over the years. This is something Nigerians who relocated a long time (esp those in the UK) should have built especially regarding entrepreneurship. But being the divided people who we are, they could not do so.

Also, the country is too divided and ethnic bigotry is rampant, so why should say an Igbo man stay when he has the opportunity to leave? Why stay in a place where the people at the helms of affairs don’t like you and keep throwing slurs at you? Worst still, this place is the world’s poverty capital. So, it means even if you would experience racism outside Nigeria, it will be in a prosperous place rather than inhaling tribal slurs in a privation-laden environment. Additionally, elites in Nigeria have second passports and can jet out at any given time. Furthermore, most of the politicians and big business people in Nigeria once worked or studied or did business abroad before returning to the country. So, there is no point wailing or whining that people are relocating, whereas Adenuga, Tinubu, Innoson, Saraki and many, many others did the same thing during their prime. Also, due to the unpredictability, even Dangote has parked his wealth outside the country to mitigate against currency devaluation. You have Islamists in the north (I once fancied owning a big farm in either Plateau or Taraba), and wanton attacks on citizens, including students who were returning to school after wasting almost eight months at home because of strike. Whereas a man who japa’d 25 years ago has his child in a good school abroad and is not worried of the child being at home because of an annual strike ritual.


But errm, Indians and Lebenase are moving to Nigeria. The same India where many are moving to Nigeria has her nationals moving in droves to the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and even Japan.That is the thing, people would always migrate. Your parents migrated to where they are/were and if you did after graduation, you had your reasons for doing the same. People are at different levels in life, but would always put economic reasons as the number one for doing so. You don’t know the condition of the Lebanese who moved to Nigeria. Why did he not move to the US or France? He moved where his knowledge and finances can carry him to. Ditto for those who have moved to Canada or the UK from Nigeria.

Live, and let's live.

Instead of all these beer parlour gist of a cleaner earns this abroad and a cleaner earns this in Nigeria.

Make Una tell us how much do you save monthly working in UK, USA, Canada or whatever?

Coz if you are saving £200-300 monthly after expenses in UK
Then that is not impressive enough for me to leave nigeria
