Please sir, 🙏 please mentor me on this journey. I don't know how and where to start from, too many confusing information online. I appreciate you since you have gone through the route. I have sent you an email or better still, you can drop directions here as my senior professional colleague for others to learn too. Thank you sir.
We talk when I close from work today.

Sir, I still maintain that a shit packer in Australia lives better than a bank manager in Nigeria.

a shit packer is even paid higher than those of us that worked in the warehouse.
a shit packer has electricity 24/7
a shit packer has 1000% better access to good medical care that a bank manager in Nigeria.
a shit packer has no need to fear kidnappers, armed robber etc here.
a shit packer has no need to queue for fuel
Your new monthly minimum wage is a shit packers 2 hours wage,
a shit packer most likely has another job such that your bank manager will only dream of his monthly savings when converted to Naira.
a shit packer eats better food with fruits and beverages than your bank manager.

if you see the kind of cars warehouse workers drive to work, you will marvel. It is in Nigeria that your bank manager driving tokumbo Toyota rav 4 2015 model will think he has arrived. Come over here and see guys driving tear rubber suvs of brands you have never heard of.
Though, you may say those machines are on mortgage.

I worked in the warehouse and disability organisation for four months and acquired a parcel of land in the East measuring 90feet by 93feet. The total cost plus fencing is about 11 million naira. Your bank manager cannot afford it legally even in 2 years.
You didn't add no traffic and mosquitoes. I haven't treated malaria in years.

They have left Africans behind oooo, even in UK, see cars factory workers drive. You will be wondering are they not only factory workers?

After the post I made in March concerning my experience after 3 months in Australia, I received a lot of responses on the said thread with many insulting me for migrating at age 48.

While a lot of people congratulated me for making the bold decision and taking steps to relocate my family to a better clime, others wondered why a financial controller, earning more than a million naira net per month, will leave Nigeria to become a warehouse worker in far away Australia.

I did my best to explain that even as a warehouse worker, my savings in a month after all expenses is almost twice my monthly net in Nigeria.

I mentioned that, apart from the few who had jobs before coming to Australia, you would most likely start life in the warehouse or as a disability support worker when you get here.

A particular guy told me in the said thread that I will never get accounting role in Australia because of the competition.

Glory to Almighty God who answered my prayers. I have my appointment letter as an accounts staff in one of the companies Australia.

Though, my position is lower than what it was while in Nigeria, it is a good starting point.

The journey wasn't easy but it's worth it.

To be continued...........
