I am planning of travelling to the UK for my Msc programme. My main purpose of travelling is as a means of jakpa not that I really need the Msc. I sold the land i bought in Asaba in 2018 for N22m. I plan to use the money for the tuition fee deposit ( £5,000) and other travel expenses. The complete tuition fee is £15,330. I will study and work in other to pay the remaining balance.

My plan is to remain in the UK and work after my study. Please I need your advice.

I think you should stay in Nigeria and do business or choose a better country. UK is not what it used to be again

the problem with that 22million naira is that if you're not well-trained in business, since you are Igbo, if you didn't do "igba boy", learn under a successful business master, for some years, then its a huge risk because the business may fail. If you don't have a successful coach in the line of business you're choosing who has accepted to mentor you the business may fail because as you are learning the ropes and making mistakes, you may be losing money and by the time you've fully learnt the ropes, the money may be depleted to a level you need to borrow or sell land again to restock enough and make impact. Moreso because Nigerians are poorer now and due to inflation, can not afford most things they use to afford before. Very high inflation so many people can't afford things so make very good inquiry on what is selling under this inflation economy before you key into it. Otherwise if you're afraid of all these risks and didn't grow up in a business background, my brother carry the money and japa. If you exhaust it in UK, if you are hardworking you can gain back the money by buying another land in another remote area, or investing in other things that will increase your savings earned from UK hustle, at least you'll be in environment where if you blow the money, you have hope of remaking it in no distant time. Annoying thing with Nigeria is if you blow any huge money, e fit take you 10 years or more to remake it back legitimately unless you're into fraud or politics or hard drug sales. So in otherwords it is very risky to lose in business in Nigeria because there is no support or another means of making it back. Still, some people still succeed in business while some others lose. The economy is just so messed up but some people still make it in the economy, while others don't. Its your choice to make. If you're willing to go to UK, be ready to work and work very very hard . And if you're ready to stay in Naija, be ready to endure if the money goes down cause another opportunity go hard.

Which other English speaking country should i consider?

My brother.. if you have sure link to leave this country, please do .. not just because of you .. but because of your kids , raising them in a sane environment, where they will grow normally and have better health care, good school and a better government that care about the citizens.. even if it's not UK , you can find a cheaper and better European country.. bro sME Dey close down for this country everyday .. no light , taxes from left , right and center.. we don’t have a central tax system, anybody ( agbero) go come with uniform collect from you go , another one to come collect .. cost of running businesses in Nigeria no be joke .. and the system is not helping SME at all ..

If You're below 31 years or age and unmarried please travel. But if you're above 31 years and to top it you're married my dear it's a risk

I will advice you jakpa if u are not above 35 y ears of age and unmarried. If you are above 35years of age please stay in this country. U can still succed here if you have a good business idea.
Secondly, please learn a very good trade even if at least six months. It will really be of help and give you a sense of direction.

Good choice, i hope that the course your are about to study is a STEM course. MRES particularly.

Travel to the UK to further your education, stay back and get a job. Tinubu and agbadorians have totally destroyed this country

My bro invested in business in 2021 and now he has relocated and will take his fam soon..
This is bad times for startups

The way people just casually say they will study and stay back after study. It's not easy like that my brother. Many people have been forced to go back to their countries after study because they couldn't secure sponsorship that will make them stay back.
Do you have a solid plan in place to retain u in UK after finishing your studies?

Don't go to UK!
Don't go to UK!!
Don't go to UK!!!

Unless you know God wants you to go there, don't go to UK.


UK don cast! Many people there are stuck.

Baba go UK. Can that money withstand the shocks Government policies bring on the economy?
Go study and work, you might just make that same amount or more before you done studying...
But really, ask God o

Don't waste your money, UK is not better than Nigeria as at today.

That money will give you better life in Nigeria, God help you

Take a strategic position in this economic turnaround going on in Nigeria.

Don't listen to those who's not been to airport before. The other side isn't green either.

I bind and cast out that spirit that is telling you to stay back and invest in this country.
May your eyes 👀 be opened.
Go to the UK for your MSC and thank me later.
Good 👍 luck

`Buy two more lands at about 3m each to hold and use the remaining cash for your business


discard the uk japa

Stay and build your life. UK? I felt bad the last time I was in London. Come and see how people running to enter bus.

Walahi, the days of Lagos molue were better than this London.

Build something for your kids. I visit the UK anytime i want, but i can't reside there permanently..ko worth eh rara.

ask your relative in UK to send money home, you will see how they will send 20pounds and feel as if they have spent 1billion...their hustling over there na grade G

Try Finland

The UK is getting tougher expecially with the ongoing deliberation on ILR. Getting CoS after studies is also getting increasingly challenging. If you must explore UK, perhaps you should look into global talent visa if you meet the requirements. If age is still on your side, you could also explore Australia.

The people saying if he is above 35 he should stay back see my uncle travelled at 40+ like the op he sold his land and that was the best decision he has ever made. He has been buying property everywhere and anywhere in Nigeria.

What has Igbo got to do with anything


What are we doing in the same country with these things

Very insecure and toxic

lol see question and answer from people…. You better stay back with your ass and invest the money here in Nigeria. Take your time and think deep what you gonna invest in… tho you can choose to listen to those who are advising you and travel lol.. if it was me oh goddamn it I will stay back in Nigeria and invest more to make more money if u invest and profit you will travel to anywhere in this world. Be wise….

It is your plan after studying that matters. What are your plans after getting the msc?

i use God Beg you please face your business i live in UK I know how it is people are facing alot, you can come to visit and make decision after

Those who dont have a cap have a working head while those with many caps are headless.

No be me talk say a fool and his money are soon parted. It is not my place to insist what you have to do with your money but if I had that money, I would import clothes from Vietnam and household items and some car parts from China, then let the money work for me instead of forcing myself into a society that will not accept me, chain me into their economic machine while loneliness will become my middle name.

Too little information about you and your journey. Your success is not bound to any destination. A lizard in Nigeria will not become a crocodile in UK

Go to UK abeg oo

Doing business is very hard in this country, except you are sure dt u r capable of facing these difficulties and maneuver it to your advantage

Finland and Australia might just be viable options to UK in terms of longterm benefit.
