Indian scammers waiting patiently for applicants.

Finnish government should have put authentic lists of employers there now.

I'm not arguing based on personal perspective, rather I'm referring to the general situation in Nigeria. I have earned in excess of $1000 monthly as a freelancer while still earning from my other businesses. This was before APC came and ruined everything. AI too ruined freelancing. Even in the best of times, freelancers, youtubers, content creators etc can't be up to 1% of the population, so they're insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

I have lived or visited a number of Asian countries and saw how small holding farmers are able to make a living. But same can't be said about Nigeria. Farmers are raped & hacked to death, their crops destroyed by herders. Due to that, many have abandoned farming. Nobody is waiting for Tinubu to feed them rather he shouldn't be making life miserable for everyone due to his gross incompetence. Are you aware that Nigeria's GDP per capita fell from over $3000 to about $800? And the projections are saying it won't rise above $1000 in the near future! Such crash in living standards can only be witnessed in a country facing severe drought or disastrous civil war.

People in rural areas are almost all in acute poverty, even worse than low income earners in cities.

In saner climes, Tinubu would have been forced to resign or be impeached. What is his policy on agriculture or to stop herders from killing people and destroying crops? What was he thinking by removing subsidy & floating naira same time? What about his extravagance & unchecked massive corruption?

Nigerians don't understand how hopeless their situation is because even in the coming years, there isn't going to be any improvement.

Anyone who knows they aren't earning above 500,000 naira should seriously consider such options because they would certainly be better off!

Proeast, I agree with you Nigeria is different. This same complain about housing is the same in the first world countries, no one is able to afford to rent a house on minimum wage, you have to work multiple jobs. I know someone working 18 hrs to afford to rent a place. The truth is not everyone in Nigeria will get an office Job.
Agriculture is a good job. If you buy 30 local chickens and 1 rooster and you manage it very well. I can guarantee you in 6 months, you will be able to cover half your "necessary" bills.
50% of the cows we eat, come from Niger,chad,mali. Because we dont produce enough cows to eat. Cattle ranching might be too big, but what about goats and sheep.
Everybody cannot live in the city and expect to be a full time responsibility of the government. Look at skit makers, some of them make more than 1000 dollars a month from revenue sources.
You have to look for your god given skill. If you wait for Tinubu's governement to feed you, you will die of hunger.
I am not pro government either. But if school no work, go learn trade.

My goal isn't to discourage others.

I used to market a Canadian immigration course as an affiliate but stopped due to surplus amount of immigrants who have overloaded the system. I can't destroy a person's life because I want to make money.

Thanks for changing my views.

However, someone said that visa processing flight ticket alone will be around 5m. Do you think it will be that much?
Yes it should be upto considering 5million naira is approximately 3000euro. Naira has lost it value

The money is too low.

These Scandinavian countries are very expensive.

You're better staying in Naija.
YOU JUST SOOKE MY MIND. PEOPLE WILL BE LOOKING AT THE PAY WITHOUT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE COST OF LIVING IN THE COUNTRY.

Earning 1430 Euros in Finland is like earning 40k naira in Lagos.
Monthly taxes alone is 440 euros, 30% of the whole money.
You cannot live on net income after taxes on 1000 euros a month.
Stop converting your Euros to naira.
You wont pay your rent in Naira
You wont buy food in naira
You wont pay for phone, electricity,heat,trash in naira.

Don't waste your life going from frying pan to fire !!!!!!
You will be living like Almajiri
