Okay.
Tanks.

What of if your course of study is in arts. I have english degree.

humilitypays:
it's okay

WithX:
That is a known fact. However, it also depends on some other factors such as the lifestyle and bills of the person involved.
One has to be prudent enough to save up to that on a monthly basis doing menial jobs.

Love800:
Tankz alot.
I appreciate.

Onionstew:
Health care aint enough reason?

castins:
My dear, that you do not earn 1m/month doesn't mean people do not earn that.
My colleague earns 1.6m / month.
No senior staff earns less than 700k in were I work.
So talk the one you know.

Everybody dey form big man for Internet! I earn this! I earn that! But 99.4% of bank accounts in Nigeria have less than 500k in them. No be me talk am o, na NDIC! If you have the opportunity, make una commot from Nigeria. Exactly 10years ago, my wife was schooling in the UK and I was a civil servant earning about 150k oer month. I comfortably paid her flight ticket to come for holiday and intro then , it cost about 150k naira. 10 years down the line, the cheapest ticket is over 1.2m and the salary increase is not commensurate despite advancement in career. Imagine what it would be like in another 10 years, and Nigeria don't seem to be getting better.

Make una dey dey strategic in una thinking!

I currently save (after bills) my annual Naija salary here in Canada within 2 months.

Even a politician don't earn up to a million monthly and that is not even with an employee job. So shove up your lies begger

geoworldedu:
People earn millions monthly in Nigeria. If you don't know, you don't know. Come to lekki and see them. They earn 10 million, 20 million etc monthly.

This is an interesting topic that deserves wide exposure to get real life opinions of different Nigerians based on their real life experiences and to enlighten those planning to make a move, but the issue is, Nigerians are not honest people when it comes to issues like this. Even if they are suffering and regretting, they will never tell, they will not even share their regrets with their closest friends and relatives talk more of sharing it with strangers. You have successfully summarized this topic. Thank you for your view



They can only share such regrets with someone far better than them whom they strongly believe would assist them, if not forget it.


But from my own experience, I would advice Nigerians earning good income in Nigeria not to abandon it outrightly to Japa with study route to countries like; UK or Canada. If you get a job offer with sponsorship you can go but do not abandon your lucrative job in Nigeria for a study route to UK or Canada right now.


UK is filled already, the only available jobs for those that are not in healthcare and not top IT experts is care job, security job and all those odd jobs that will hardly earn you 2,000 pounds a month. If you convert 2000 pounds to Naira it will look big and juicy, but remember you are not going to be spending the money in Naira? By the time you deduct tax, deduct bills like gas, electricity, car insurance if you have one, feeding and rent, you will definitely need another odd job to meet up with your bill, which means you will be working almost round the clock just to pay bills to remain in the UK.


Canada is not much different, just slightly better than UK but the extreme weather condition in some provinces will make you regret ever moving to Canada.


The best route to Japa to UK or Canada now is work visa if you are working and earning well in Nigeria, but if you are struggling or in an uncertain job in Nigeria with no future or job security, you can Japa even with study route because the future of Nigeria looks scary with the crop of people in charge of federal government of Nigeria now.

quote author=lanresz post=134645534]Since your spouse is already in Calgary, your integration should be less stressful. Career wise in Canada, I will advise you to be open minded. Look for opportunities anywhere you can find it. You may be able to find banking job or other related jobs but don't limit yourself to it.

Nigerian degrees are not respected/accepted in most of the abroad. So you have to get a masters degree or in the case of medicine, pass the board exams. I am not sure if accountants need degrees or just need to pass licensing exams.

Going abroad usually means starting again from 0,wiping the slate clean.

What usually works is if you come in through a multinational - one which has the same culture nationwide. But if you are exited from the multinational before you have perfected your resume...

There is also another issue, a lot of so called accomplished Nigerians are actually very lazy in the workplace and with competence gaps. Things you can get away with in Nigerian as a Nigerian in American as Ana American, but not in America as a japa Nigerian

There is a lady engineer I remeber who could not understand the most basic things as a trainee. She got a good job and we were all trying to train her at the time. She literally resorted to paying people to do her work for her. She also understood how to play dirty politics very well. Today she is a big person where she works. What do you think will happen if she japas as an engineer? Will she be able to cope without a foundation?
