When someone sold lands, cars, houses and other properties to japa, even after landing an okay job there, how many years you wan take gather those things back while still maintaining your bills in that abroad. This shows e no easy anywhere especially for those from thirld world country like ours.
I believe if those foreigners hear the amount we spend to japa, they will think we are mad because majority of them no get that kind money in cash.
I really pray you reap the rewards of your labour and sacrifice. Open doors for you very fast.

We already think that, it will take at least 15 years to get all those things back.
It make no sense to me whatsoever.
I just cannot understand it.

What do u mean by processing?
I already knw about production.

But if u can sha, define the two for me.
Gerrard59:


To be fair, there are multiple businesses worth investing in, just that investors should not go into processing or production without a strong financial war chest.

and how do you come to these conclusions? I think we make too many assumptions. Everyone stories are different, I have said it in the pass, if anyone has a relative abroad ie in the Uk or US and they keep telling you back home that they are broke and struggling, the fact is this, they aint, they are just broke for people back home whom by the way might be leeches!

All those things you mentioned are honestly true but they all need certification first and also experience... Having work in similar places. For amazon I have applied.
Even to work as a security you have to get certain certification and training that will cost you almost 1 million naira.. Google sia training and learn about more

Now am on two training to get certifications from the but this certifications is cost money.
This is the point where you have to put your thinking hat on, life is in stages, you do the jobs that does not need certification 1st , then gather money and doo certificates in preparation for the ones that needs certification, that junk yard Job being offered does not need certification so jump on that. Then save enough money to do SWIA licence for security (DO nights), then get a provisional driving licence for most ID and proof of home address. I came to Uni here in 2000, life and communication was way harder than what you guys have right now, You have it real easy yah dnt know. Stop moaning bro crack on, you are in a better place, you have teh chance to change the whole outcome of your family back home and indeed your kids. people here do big things and create Generational wealth. So you better sleep less and think big will leave you with this. Work smart not work hard!

landlord are refusing to give out their houses to student.. especially to family couples.
they require you to make 6 months upfront or come with a uk guarantor
this is my observation

imagine paying 5m for house rent after spending all your money in nigeria.

LOL. My rent is £1,200 per month.

I shudder to think about the Naira equivalent.

my dream was that immediately I came over, i and my dependant will search for jobs.. work and pay bill. but that is not feasible as I am seeing it.

i started this process with 15 million naira then when naira nose dive i had to borrowed extra 15 million to top it with interest of almost 2 million naira. landed in uk, started seeing the reality on ground

i have been in UK since 1 month plus. but getting a job as a migrant or new commer without UK experience is not easy.
in fact i have sent over 200 job application for cleaner, care assistant etc but all came with a sorry we have moved on to the next stage or you don't have uk experience.

school fees has to be paid. everyone here in tight corner... school has sent mail threatening to report to the immigration if school fees is not paid in the next few weeks to most Nigerians here.

no job, house rent is expensive.. going for 450 to 600 pounds per month.

travelling through student route is not really easy because you have to balance between work and school.. 'even at that where is the job as a new migrant.

Please if you are considering coming to UK for now.. please put on hold. the crowd from Indians, Pakistani, Malaysia, china etc is overwhelming.

it's not worth selling your home to be here.

i sleep in indeed and all this job site.. still yet nothing, bills mounting up.

all my colleague i came with are still with no jobs in other cities

after spending 13 million coming here with extra 3k dollars now almost exhausted chai


if u know you don't have full school fees, house rent for 12 months, upkeep.... running to 35m to 40m please stay back... stay back or apply through skill route.

edited with more info.

Sorry about your experiences so far.

The job drought might be dependent upon your location. Cities with large student populations, especially in the Midlands and Northern parts tend to experience greater job scarcities than cities in the South-west and South-East.

A friend of mine based in the Midlands faced a situation similar to yours and I told him to consider searching in the Southwest area, which he did. The wife eventually landed a support role with sponsorship.

You are in an entirely new country, with a handicap of a limited visa and funds from a similarly handicapped country.
You have been there for one month, not really sure what you're expecting. Similarly to just starting out in your home country, you have to get the lay of the land, you have to pay your dues, Give it time bruv.

Yes, i am sure any kinda visa wouldn't be a bother for an individual holding a British paasport.

I would not want to set up a heavy business in these countries, it isn't much about financial gains for me hence i would choose Beach cafe or bar. It is about doing something entirely different and living an entirely different lifestyle and ln a different country or environment.

It would also be easy for me to pack up and leave when i want if i didn't like it or if it didn't work out. grin

I know a lota black british citizens who reside and own houses and small hotels in these countries.

It is those businesses that form the work visas they use in domiciling in those countries. However, if you can show me how such can be set up in Namibia or Botswana, I will be grateful. The Caribbeans are well developed for such, but they are too expensive and far from Africa.

They mean the same thing. Growing cassava is one thing, being a processor of it is another. There is money in both, but more in the latter which also requires lots of capital and involves power generation.

May the Almighty God bless you for this enlightment. Do not be discouraged by the naysayers, you are speaking your truth and it's well appreciated. Early this year, I was almost in the same position. My relatives in Canada were urging me to relocate with my wife and two kids. According to them, Nigeria is completely finished and will implode any time soon. I told them to give me the cost estimate of the relocation and they did. They even offered to foot 50% of the payment.

Lucky for me, I have a few friends who are abroad and I reached out to them. After much discussion, I realized that I'm better off here where I have something doing and at least doing well for myself. I jejely called my relatives back to decline the offer and to thank them for their assistance. I've said it before and I'm reiterating it, it's not always rosy abroad. All these stories of abroad being a bed of roses and land of opportunities will continue to fuel Nigerians greed. Do your due dilligence and consultations before jumping on the JAPA WAGON to avoid stories that touch. angry angry
U get brain bro...u get brain..

Please, if u don't have a genuine skill rating can fetch u more money that u re getting in Nigeria abeg no go, unless u secure a job and that is fine

He should go and put money into “investments” then wake up the next day to see that government has implemented one policy that’ll strangle life out of the business abi? You’re one of those unrealistic patriots it seems. Either that or you own one of those “agrobusinesses” and you’re just salty about not getting investments.

If reputable, big big companies that have operated for YEARS in Nigeria are closing down and leaving the country, what hope is there for any “investment” in one small unknown business??

people are here making big money u lazy dummie...

Come let go to ogbomosho, let spend three months together to buy cashew with that ur 20m, if u don't come back with 35m or more after that three month then tell me what happen..

Bross all you need do is look for a guarantor, check all your village people who live in the Uk, take time and search, you must see o ne person that knows your father back home or mother, I signed as a guarantor for a 26-year-old boy who turned up to go to a Uni in Ipswich last month. The estate Agent sent me the form and I signed, i don't know him but my mum knows his mum from back home, so she explained the link to me and since it cost me nothing I signed.So my friend nah to search well, nor give up

I see, i didn't know this.


I am not very aware of how those kinda businesses can be set up in Botswana or Namibia or even anywhere, It is just an idea, something i would like to venture into in not too far future when and if it is possible. I wouldn't even mind in the Caribbeans, like The Bahamas, Hawai, Barbados, St Lucia, Antigua or Gyana. However, I would preffer Africa rather, Ghana, Republic of Benin or any coastal region in the west africa, somewhere that would always bring me back to near my origin. Like a retirement business plan, i would take out all my pension early and would still get other incomes from England, that was why i explained earlier that it wouldn't be so much of a financial gain venture, though i would still expect to make profit.

Few people i know are currently in the business, they have being perssuading me to join. As it appears it has being quite profitable abundantly for them. That is where i the idea came from.


From your comments i found that you are viewing it from a big business set up point, although a "small hotel business" is not small business. I admire your optimism.

Ironically he may not have 20m or 35m as he put it. He did say people are making money not him is making money. grin grin so his story is just hearsay.

That is 100% lie even in 2017 like the guy said.

The problem with buy and park in is that in 2 yrs time, you will spend the exact amount used in buying to do repairs. Very substandard. Forget the painting and fittings or designs we see. From the blocks, concrete and rods are always substandard. So house foundation most times are faulty.
I will never encourage that.
