Learn a good trade gradually. And you will need to ignore your age, personality and status while learning the job or when doing the business. For instance, you may bear some insults if want to be a bolt driver.

If you have plans of having children I advice you start up a business and get married, age is no longer on your side. Or do you wish to have your first child at 50?

Why are you throwing and dishing out abuses and insults to the op. That he doesn't conform to your idea of success doesn't make him a failure. I feel you're the bigger looser for not identifying the fact of time and season. Even the good Lord won't judge a man until his demise. I know of a current house of rep member who even till 42 is yet to get is footings together in life, he's in his late 50s now and a member of the house of rep. Most of his mate who got their footings earlier on are all duffing their hat and celebrating a man they once called failure like you did to the op.


You calling him looser in your previous post and dumb now says alot about your person. Tell me your age and what you've achieved, I will portray a younger person with better accomplishment then you can see how rubbished your definition of looser is.
Exactly those washed-up types, whose only "success" in life is grabbing power through corruption, are the reason everything is falling apart in Nigeria. He didn’t succeed at anything in life, and then in his late fifties, he managed to get a small piece of political power.
With what kind of life achievements did he even run for public office?

We don’t think on the same level.
To you, he’s a successful man.
To me, he’s a failure — a symbol of a failed country and society.

As for the original poster specifically:
He sold inherited land. That means he sold something he wasn’t capable of acquiring himself.
But he’s capable of selling and spending what someone else worked for.
What’s there to explain?
He’s the perfect example of a loser.

An apartment, a house, construction land, arable land, gold, silver, water sources — those are lasting assets.
Things that are passed down through generations so future generations can be wealthier and more successful.
He sold what he inherited for fiat currency — which has no real value.

On top of that, he's thinking about emigrating — to New Zealand, no less. That’s how five-year-old kids think.

Note:
A lasting asset, if sold, should be sold only to purchase another lasting asset.
You don’t sell farmland to buy a car.
But if you sell a car to buy farmland — now that’s the right move.

And you think you're making sense? Bro you can't run your definition on life on everyone around you. There is difference between true and truth. The fact that your opinions are true doesn't make it the truth. And who told you he can't start up life again even at 70? The question is who told you he isn't contended with the life he's living? Bro I wish you can go out and learn better that life is a personal race and all this things we acquire doesn't make us special. I got my first car at 20..... Never have I done scam and I'm not even on facebook. I realised that doesn't make me successful the day I saw a couple I know and I think less of buy a jincheng motorbike and they were jubilating like it's Lamborghini, it was the pinnacle of success to them. As a fact beautiful Nubia small people anthem comes to mind. Today I'm doing very well according to my definition but I'm far from been successfully as lots of unmarked plans and ambitions. In short, success is not quantifiable and you can't judge him the way he lives. Live and let live always remember that.




PS

about the politician, he went back to school for a degree at 41, got a job afterwards in government house, he met some bigwigs through that and started political things. He got federal appointments and decided to run for house of rep which he won. Note..... Within 10 years of proper plan and remodelling, he turned himself around. He got elected to HOR last election and he's in is late 50s.

I can route you to a good African country to hustle and double your money for at least 18 months then you can advance your journey to the western countries or return home to settle with fund enough to keep you in business and buy you a land and a car and if you are smart in business ,you can start building your house and marry simple and cheap.

I like car sells business because it's in block. Money at hand and no credit most times
No African country is better than Nigeria in terms of business.


If you cannot make it here in Nigeria , you cannot make it in any other African country.

Don't listen to anyone telling you to start a business. The current Nigeria atmosphere and administration is not good for businesses, especially as a starter.

Now, back to your travel plan. That 5M is enough for your visa. That's your visa money if it's New Zealand you're aiming at.

The current fee for a New Zealand Skilled Migrant Category Resident Visa is NZD $6,450. This fee applies to applications submitted on or after October 1, 2024.

Convert the 5M naira to New Zealand dollar and see. That 5M, is enough for the visa. The most important thing is to get the resident visa if you have work experience and the right qualification.

Don't worry. Get the visa first. Use that one to pursue the visa. One thing is to get it. You can then make plans for your flight and pocket money. Don't worry too much about how you are going to survive. What matters is getting a legit visa. Not visitor visa o.

I think New Zealand has a PR migration route. Go on a serious hunt and research about how to go about it or look for sponsorship jobs if you have work experience. You can do it. A couple of persons have migrated through the job sponsorship route too. Look for sponsorship jobs for New Zealand and Australia. Grace will speak for you and luck will shine on you trust me.

Watch videos and search for how to go about it. Don't give your money to any agent o.

Cross your heart and tell yourself you can do.

Follow Loaded man on Facebook. He stays in New Zealand with his wife and 2 children traveling the world with a New Zealand Passport.

Best of luck🤞
Re: Travel To New Zealand With 5m Or Get Married And Start Business In Nig by Mcslize:
Trustyourself:
5million is too small for New Zealand. Only flight ticket is around 4 to 4.5 million naira. Because it's a far distant country sharing borders with Australia. Depending on the area you are located. If you are around Lagos-Ogun axis, kindly visit either Ogun Guangdong Free Trade Zone or Lekki Free Zone. These two free Trade Zones have the largest numbers of companies lumped up on a single unit of land mass in Nigeria. In other words, there are many companies producing different types of items in those two Zones I mentioned for which you can start with any of the companies as a distributor with the 5million in your hand. If you can do this wisely, you will certainly be counting in multiple millions in no distant time and even forget relocation agenda

I wish you God's guidance on how to navigate through this.
Haba! It doesn't cost up to that. Is he flying to heaven? Flight should be between 1.2-1.5M depending on the number of stopovers and the airline you booking with.

That amount you quoted should be for a family of 5. A man, his wife plus extra 3 children. A single person flight to New Zealand is not up to the bolded.

How Can You Sell Your Family Plots Of Land For A Meagre 5m?
How Can You Waste Such Lasting Legacies For A Change Of 5m.
See Ehhn, Traveling Is Completely Out Of It, 5m Cannot Even Complete Flight Ticket. One Wicked Agent Will Just Waste The Money For You.
Marriage Is Out Of It, If You Get Married With That Money, In 2 Years Time Or Less The Money Will Be Completely Exhausted.
Best Bet, Don't Touch The 5m at all. Lock It In Money Market (Not Fixed Deposit ooo, No Try Am).
Go And Do Some Spiritual Deliverance, You Need It Urgently Because Apart From Not Achieving Much At That Age, Something Is Definitely Wrong With You For Throwing Away Family Plots Of Land For That Amount.
Go And Learn A Trade Or Business And Engage In Farming By The Side.
After 2 Years Take Out The Profits Only From Your Money Market Funds (Profits Would Have Yielded Like 2m To 3m After 2 Years).
And Engage Yourself Since You Would Have Been Experienced By Then.

Did you actually do some searches before making your contradictory statements? Or you just wrote something because you saw figures that looked big in your eyes?

If you buy air ticket to New Zealand and Australia at the rate of 1.2 - 1.5million, how much will you now buy for the one of UK?

Kindly use any search engine of your choice or even ChatGPT to verify the current values of air tickets to New Zealand and Australia. These two nations are almost at the tail-end of the world. They are too far, ok! Please verify.

Exactly...I don't know why many people here are intellectually lazy...in a population of over 200 million and they cnt even figure out what to do .. that 5 million is even too much

The guy can even start small fry cleaning and environmental services firm with less than 2 million and once he is a good marketer things will come into play

How can one use 5 million to go sell themselves into slavery and at that age he should be married ..it's a shame !

Get one working woman pregnant, ola. With her and things will work into place

Don’t mind them, always playing the blame game since time immemorial.

Realistically, 5M cannot take you to a first world country… But there are other options… putting the money in a bank while learning a skill , trade or business. 5M can start a gadgets and accessories biz in a school environment, combine it with a POS and phone charging booth. That’s should fetch 10k daily easily while looking out for other things to do.

Buy from wholesalers and retail , you need no special skill to do this.

You also have no business going abroad if you don’t have skills to survive.

After that , get content creation Tools’s and start posting daily on YouTube , Twitter , facebook and instagram.

Connect your whatsapp business for more enquiries.

Run adverts.

Grow your business and build a brand.


But they’d want you to always spoonfeed them, Rubb!sh.
