lol in your dreams

Why using a different account from the one you posted with?

LandMann:
Indiscipline, challenging environment and lack of focus is why you are unable to learn a skill in Nigeria.

In you spend 25-30 million to migrate to Canada, nobody would tell you to sit up and learn any available skill to perfection so that the money you've spent migrating won't turn to waste.

Also, the challenge of paying bills in whatever country you migrate to will force you to sit up or risk failing and returning to Nigeria.

If I was in your shoes with same opportunities I'd risk 5 million to load up on any one or two crypto that will blow next bull run... Then I'd stop day trading and use the next 18 to 24 months to focus on learning a skill that will be useful to me if I decide to be self employed in future...

Once you've acquired the skills you can then decide to migrate from Nigeria if you so want.

In all this, I think you need an accountability partner... Someone to monitor your progress in your skill learning journey and motivate you to continue before you find another excuse to abandon your plan or course of action.

I can be your guide and accountability partner, your vocal conscience to motivate you to succeed and always remind you of the cost of failing. Send me a pm.

Lol see his mouth like 5m on project that wil blow in next bull run... I wish it was that easy man.. all these beginners forming pros 😂😂

If you have the means to relocate abroad, please do. You would thank yourself in the long run.

These generalizations are usually from either Nigerians who haven't travelled abroad yet or Nigerians who are still fresh abroad...

Not everyone travel and "thank themselves in the long run." Especially people doing well here before relocating... The "abroad" has its own challenges too. I mean social challenges, security challenges, economic challenges.

If you're doing well already in Nigeria, make your money and keep making your money here. In time, you'll prolly even be able to own properties or get citizenships in these countries (if you'd care to). I wish many know this!

This japa frenzy is all hype and naivety.

@selfkontrol Send me an email on gnjemanze@gmail.com let's discuss..

I will advise you plan your relocation properly.Cost of living has increased substantially especially rent in bigger cities(which most immigrants prefer). Study route cost a lot of money and as well as a lot of time before you become a permanent resident.I will advise you really understand the journey you are about to embark on fully before you start.Ask a lot of questions if you have friends abroad..What program do you intend to study, how long?what is your pathway to acheive permanent residence afterwards?

All the best in your endeavours

I completely agree..No easy pathway for permanent residence/citizenship.

UK is a no no. U get nothing in return not even passport while they suck you dry. No good jobs apart from care jobs. U can imagine someone that has seen millions going to uk to do care jobs with no even guarantee of getting a good job afterwards and passport lmao. Canada remains the best

RawSex:
I didn't read your story but do everything u can to relocate from this shithole


Nigeria is among the Top 20 worst countries to live on Earth; trust me, just runnnn!!!

Yet here you are on Nairaland shouting Jagaban up and down whilst living a slavish life and looking for bear bear from north to south .
You people never cease to amaze

Natural stone has long been admired for its timeless beauty and durability. It is a popular choice for both interior and exterior applications in construction. From granite and marble to limestone and slate, each type of natural stone offers distinct characteristics and aesthetic appeal. Natural stone not only adds elegance and sophistication to architectural designs but also withstands the test of time. Its inherent strength and resistance to weathering make it suitable for a range of applications, including countertops, flooring, cladding, and landscaping. By incorporating natural stone into construction projects, builders can create stunning and enduring spaces. https://experttoday.pro

if he had traveled u and your brother could equally be useless and maybe murder him with gun.anything is possible.

Yea, you are right. But right from the beginning, we are not wayward or bad. So, I strongly believe, we would have been positively influenced.

Good day Nairalanders. Pls I need some mature advice because I’ve been in a dilemma for a long time now concerning relocating abroad or staying back in Nigeria.
First of all I’m not a japa advocate. I believe if you’re doing well in Nigeria then there’s no point relocating abroad but I feel there’s so much uncertainty and I don’t know what the future holds for me in this country.

Now I’m a married man of 30 years. I will turn 31 by this September. We have no child yet but wife is preg now. I have a B.Eng in petroleum Engineering but have never worked in my life. My current business is crypto trading which I have been doing for years now. During the 2021 crypto bull run I made lot of money and acquired some properties that’s currently valued atleast 60-70m naira in total. bought my car same year and got married same year to my long time Gf, settled some family members etc . I don’t have any other investments or business aside my properties and crypto portfolio because crypto trading has taken all my time and I won’t complain because so far it has been good. Making money in dollars while in Nigeria is bliss. Even though we have been in bear season since 2022, I still make some money every now and then that’s sustainable for now until we hit another bull run which is likely to happen from next year 2024.

My fear lies here, on the long run crypto trading is not sustainable. If not for 2021 bull run I don’t think I would be in this position and even the projected bull run next year is not 100% certain

I plan on learning a programming skill which is very difficult, I tried learning it late last year but stopped along the line because it was distracting me from trading and missing some opportunities in crypto because making money is most important. Coding would probably take me a few years before I start earning even though it is sustainable long term but crypto trading can be life changing but not sustainable long term . It’s more like a gamble most times.

My plan A, is to gather enough money from now till 2025 which is the duration of the projected bull run if it happens and start investing in real estate development, Like building and selling and other businesses too but I don’t know how feasible that is in our present day Nigeria and if I don’t make my target amount, I might have to start with the available resources present.

plan B, gather some money, learn a skill then relocate to Canada with my family via study route since I don’t have any real work experience aside crypto trading but that would mean me going to study and starting afresh.

For my wife, she also has a degree in Human Resources with just nysc as working experience. She learnt wig making and installation and has been doing her online biz selling wigs etc.

Abroad folks, what are my chances abroad considering my current profile. Is it worth it coming over there to start afresh
And build? I have heard so many things how it’s hard getting a job and you have to rely on survival jobs for the first few years expecially for someone without any work experience.

I really don’t like joining the bandwagon cos everyone seems to be leaving, I love to weigh my options and hate taking unnecessary risk that might lead to regrets, at the same time don’t want to regret not leaving since I’m still young and have the opportunity that’s why I’m here asking these questions to learn from experienced and matured family men home and abroad the action they would take. We learn everyday,

For my unborn kids, if everything checks out, my plan is to give birth to them in either Canada or US for the passport and raise them in Nigeria and when they are grown, send them to study there and that is only if I’m not relocating. And if I’m relocating, what are the in-demand skills and professions I have to take since it’s clear I might be going to school because I hate survival jobs. What is your advice pls.
Mature advice pls. Thank you 🙏
@justwise @Disguy

You can practically do B and have A too.
You seem to be doing well financially. Why not register your businesses or get someone to run your investments for you and send returns there to you. You would guarantee money from here while you gone man. That you will be guaranteed to give your kids the best of both worlds. A great life there and enough money to back it trust me one major fuckup people make there is that they leave without any viable source of income coming in forgetting the system there you can't cheat on it to get free except you have financial backing. Today Nigeria is getting ran by men who have extensive links over there as well as back home. Do this bro and I swear in 15 years time you'll be on your Yacht and remembering these advice from millstone
Money dey this country o! Invest well, carry your wife there which would be cheaper right now than having multiple kids. Then you can do those investments and still give your kids multiple passport. Think Bro don't want you to regret ooo

millionboi2:
shut up,you that have acquired the skill have you used it to feed the poor ppl in your community....abeg shift one side,forex is risky not matter the skill.

You're a very naive big fool. If you don't know something ask. Follow those that know road and stop carrying file up and down looking for jobs.

Penguin2:
You are right. He was greedy at first. He was always trying to flip $4000 dollars into $8000 dollars within minutes. That’s how he incurred huge losses.

Now he claims he has learnt the skill but there’s no more capital for him to trade with.

No hope is lost. If he has truly mastered it and perfected it, tell him to try and look for small money and get a prop firm account.

Prop firms are companies that fund traders to Trade for them and at the end split the profits 80 to 20. 80% for the trader and 20% for them of whatever profit he makes.

But they will first evaluate and test him before giving him real money to trade. If he pass, they will then fund him with real money. That's what most retail traders that don't have money to trade are getting.

He can get a $5000 account for $45 (N33,000) or $50 (N37,000) depending on the prop firm.

If truly he has really mastered the skill so well, this is the best option for him to go for.

Ekpa. Malu malu. That's why you will continue to wallow in ignorance.

See all your mates here learning and banging $$$$$ and you are here fooling yourself.

I repeat, if you don't know something ask rather than fooling yourself in ignorance in this digital age.

Michaelspresh:
Are you rich and sensible?

If No, please don't bother me

Inferiority complex! No sane citizen will measure riches and sense by relocating abroad. You are suffering from low self esteem.

We are rich and we are in Nigeria. Grow up!
