One serious problem we have in this country is the issue of AGE DISCRIMINATION. Despite being a backward nation in dire need of increased productivity cum development, we still discriminate against people of certain age and hinder them from actively working and participating in nation building.

Imagine someone who's just 40 years asking this kind of question, clearly believing that at 40 he has grown too old to travel out. I don't blame op though, it is the kind of mentality people have here.

Whereas the whiteman would open up his labor market for different age groups (except of course, the very vold and frail), the black nations would come up with some unfounded theories to stop or discourage people from working and aspiring to achieve greater heights on the grounds of age. Tell me why we won't continue to be underdeveloped.

My point is, Nigerians should learn to jettison any cultural practices, believes or rules that discourage people from working and aspiring for greater heights at any ages! All these organizations that restrict people of certain ages from working for them (eg banks) should be seriously sanctioned. If we can have people in their 70s get elected as presidents of the country, then we should not discriminate against people of same age brackets that still want to work in any organizations. Let's learn to fire from all cylinders in our quest for development!

Just imagine that.

Honestly, we need to stop age restrictions and get all hands on deck if we want to grow as a nation.

I relocated when i was 41,
Thank God I did.
Am better off here ...



I also relocated fully to California, U.S at 40. Try not to allow anyone into your plan except God. Many will say things to make you feel stupid and be able to change your mind. Be focused and prayerful and things will work out well for you but be careful which country you decide to go cos it's not so easy in some countries like it is where I am here. Choose wisely.

Hello,

This is my honest advise for you aside been a lawyer one of the best selling profession is quantity surveyors with the 4 million in your account its best you register your self a company and link up with properties household companies and agents personnel that could link you up for business, there's lot prospect being a Quantity Surveyor don't Japa look at the bright side of life what you need is connection find a way to register yourself in a social club like Lion's Club, Ikoyi Club, Polo club joined this club and make sure you an active member also make sure you have a complimentary card with you that will show your profession just one or two sales of property or lands worth billions my brother God don answer your call the rest is referral by clients my brother be hopeful there's opportunity for you here stay don't run.

As far your profession is concern going abroad now not will help you look around there are lot opportunities. Properties business is a Big Business just be hopeful and be honest you always see client remember when God pick your calls.

All the best

Thing is I never had the chance to practice. Immediately I graduated i looked for jobs at related fields. Even offered to work for free so i could get experience but, i no know wetin I do people. Whenever i talk about learning from them they Ghost me. SO in order not to just dey like dat, I started looking for other means of hustling... Bolt, Poultry, and some other small small things... So as Tinubu don scatter e-hailing for us. No profit at all with he current fuel prize. there's no point again... so i wanna sell my car add small thing and look elsewhere.

What's wrong with that? My friend was around 52 when he migrated with his family to the US. It is 10yrs this year. So what do you mean by why he what to migrate at 40? Is 40yrs that too old to relocate to another country? My friend's father and mother, who are both also 80, emigrated to the US to go live with their son over, there is close to 10yrs now. Keep shut if you don't have the means of moving instead of discouraging those who want to.
You cannot compare then and now.

Lot of resources here on nairaland.


[b]b]nteresting to say this,
The first time I was about to board airplane to Unites states, I was scared and happy at the same time because i don't have no knowledge of how it looks like up in the air nor do i have someone sat me down to tell me what to do and what not to do apart from the only information i read online on google my dependable friend.
My final destination was Baltimore but i had a ticket with stopover in Heathrow, London because the only ticket i got cheaply then was British Airways.
So, I observed peoples' behavior in the plane, smiles and also pretended to be comfortable up in the air, it took me forever to have confidence to go use the bathroom.
On arrival at Heathrow , I have to figure out how to transit and my next gate to avoid missing my flight, the layover was about 4 hours, so I was looking stupid for a long time trying to know the next line of action but after several ups and downs in the airport i finally made it to my gate now I started feeling like " I got it"
My next challenge was at the point of entry in Baltimore where people get sent back home or admitted into the states.
Please be prepared before you travel and open yourself to learning.
All these happened in 2015.
Good luck to y'all.[/b]


am kind of person that observe alot I will quickly understand nessary things,

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO EMIGRATE ABROAD

SO LONG AS THE COUNTRY YOU GOING TO ACCEPTS YOU THEN KEEP HOPE ALIVE

HERE ABROAD ...THERE IS NO DISCRIMINATION AGAINST OLD PEOPLE WORKING

IF YOU LIKE....BE AS OLD AS METHUSELAH....SO LONG AS YOU ARE STILL STRONG TO DO THE WORK...YOU WILL BE RIGHTLY PAID FOR YOUR SERVICES

Na you dull yourself na, she works in a hospital, as one those casual worker, she's a very responsible, she's planning to settle down with that my friend. I had a video call with her early this month, she even told if I can japa I should do so that Nigeria may dull me to achieve what I want, that she's very OK in UK.


My late sister's husband is in UK too, done with his masters @University of East London late last year, he is doing fine, though he is yet to get that his dream job, we do chat very well, sometimes he throws in lil stuff into my Akant grin

Ageism isn't just a Nigerian issue, the only difference is that Nigerian companies have the effontery to state it in black and white. In other countries, it cannot be blatantly stated due to laws but they certainly practice it notwithstanding.

Never you allow anyone to discourage you with their age limits. You can be anything and go anywhere at any age if you are determined. All those saying 40 is too old to relocate will soon hit 60 and still be looking for someone's daughter to marry and still want to have kids.
You are not in a competition with anyone..
Good luck with your plans.

Canada makes sense.

A caregiver in Canada earns an average $C45, that is Canadian dollar(#550 Naira exchange rate) per hour, so if you work an average 7-8hours per day, do the math &that's what you earn, imagine you do this for a week, then month You're better off in the next couple of years (2years working Visa), then gets a Permanent Residency afterwards.

The cost of living is what is missing in your equation. Even if you earn $C45 per hour, it's not about just converting to naira because the country's expenses are much higher relative to expenses in Nig, and then factors like tax etc.
