One thing about these trips abroad is that grace and luck must be involved else you hit the rocks, God forbid! Also your freedom will now be seriously restricted because you must work harder; maybe everyday to be able to meet up, and before you know it, you are home-sick again.

As for me, if I have cool 22 mila like you, I would choose to stay in my country and pursue businesses that are rewarding. But then, you should enrol into a 2month coaching on how to run a successful business.

Abroad no dey smile again oo,trust me

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.

Travel! Travel! Travel oooooo!!!!

Make I add my mouth for this matter.
Me na there I dey. To say it in simple words, I no go advice you make you come.
The hustle here no be for the faint hearted. You will need to earn everything you get here. No Favour's, no anticipate any. People wey you bin dey look up to for here go fail and betray you. You will start from the scratch Work no too dey like that even the menial ones go do you guy (cleaning Oo, factory or even care work) etc.
Coming as a student without full tuition and up keep na big challenge, almost a No No. make I calculate your earnings for you. As a student you get only 20 hours to work in a week when school dey on. That brings your total earnings to 20 X 4 X £12.21 = £976.8. Government go share small with you because you just come. Rent go take about £400 depending on city. If na only you maybe your bills go dey like £150/month. You will most likely to be left with about £350-£400 per month. When you go fit gather am pay your remaining tuition. Ming you the school go dey write you love letter everytime like babe say dem still dey. Na Naija you go still run back to for bail out.
People say travel because of family, that na dey biggest deception and reason to travel. You family is what you will loose first if you come here. Your wife go grow horns and your children no go dey hear you again. E go do you like film.
If you come manage finish school, immigration settle matter go start, you will need a company to sponsor your stay. If not you will need post study visa which go give you only 18month at about £2600 if na only you. Na that high jump you go dey till you go begin reason your life......
inside all this one, cold go dey mama your body, better food to see chop na problem.

If you must come reason am well. No be only school be the way. Other was dey but my brother na scammers full that road. That pesin wey dey talk like say him be better pesin go chop you now now. Dey suffer don change plenty good people.


If you get better business for Naija, focus and grind am to success. The energy you need to make your business in Naija work is small compared to what require to survive here!


Las las you go dey alright.

You can't work and pay your remaining school fees. You'll certainly be broken beyond repair. In fact, your plan will collapse. Don't forget, you are only allowed to work 20 hrs weekly. Also, there are no jobs to easily walk in and start working. At the end of the month, you may not be able to save up to £500. Keep in mind there'll be no post-study visa for you in the UK. That means you'll likely migrate to another country after your studies. In fact, don't consider UK. Look elsewhere. If possible, find scholarship opportunities.

I think that another factor you should consider is the influence of AI five years from now. Already, people are struggling with getting jobs. AI is seriously displacing lots of people from their jobs—NOT just IT jobs. Right now, no one is regulating its development and in few years, its influence on the labor market is going to be massive—negatively though. Organizations would always prefer to make more money, replacing people with machines where possible. As the AI continues to create unemployment, countries will begin to focus only on their citizens for jobs. You'll be forced to come back home, or remain a slave over there. You won't be able to make any serious money and you'll pay house rent all your life. Don't forget, you will likely have dependence/family given five years from now. Think!

Coming back to Nigeria, I'd say the country isn't encouraging right now but it's our country nonetheless. You can always find a way around sh!t here than over there. I'd encourage you invest that money here. Take some and buy a land, use the remaining to go into production, especially in the area of agriculture. Do your thing little by little and keep growing. Get a supportive woman to join you and keep growing. The world is growing wild and if you're not from money, it'll be very hard for you to become so rich. However, you can create a stable life that'll ultimately shield your family from lack. That's better than thinking your children would always get a job where you live because there'll always be jobs. Look, a time is coming that even football won't be profitable.

Start building for yourself and unborn family today, forget about this idea of looking for a job. The insecurity crisis in Nigeria is a government thing. Once the government changes, it will go with them.

May the oil of wisdom on your head never run dry.
Wish i can buy you a bottle of chilled stout.

I give you facts!
My people are there balling.
Are they not English speaking?

They speak German there. Many people are balling in the UK too. Just that too many people entered the UK and they want to weed out the useless ones that entered via care and other unskilled jobs that were previously given same priority as skilled..

Look for a cheaper EU country to do your Master's. It's not very feasible to work to complete the fees. Unless you got a backup back home that can bail you out when e red.

God is about to punish someone..

Why not try other European countries. There is a lot of anti-immigration crusade in UK at the moment.

Ebubu6:
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.

Guyyy you confam!!

'Look for a good job' I laugh.

You will keep laughing because you personally know you can ot compete there. Jobs all over the world today is about getting into data or AI related course, genetics, health related (not care) or research. Oh.....you must be one those the UK has stopped because the only visa you want to use is care. Lol. Guys are still getting nice jobs in the UK if you do what you are supposed to do there.

Please Bro run as fast as you can, you won’t regret your decision, don’t be cajoled into doing business in Nigeria with that money, it doesn’t worth it.🙏

If I were you, I would just chill in Nigeria and start a YouTube Channel showcasing infrastructural progress in various states, and then branching out into other African countries. Think Tayo Aina. Wode Maya. If you're serious and consistent, you could be on 5,000 to 10,000 dollars a month within a year.

Your own boss. Answerable to no one. You wake up when you want. That's a luxury.

Within 5 years you could be on $60,000 a month.

No job in London will give you that.

You have the money to start now.

Today, in this digital era, what matters more than academic qualifications is the ability to impact and influence the masses with your voice and perspective. If you're reasonably educated, smart, and well-spoken, you have enough.

Start naming them na, amd let's look at their path to residency and even the opportunities there. Una go just dey shout EU EU. Which EU exactly? Go on, start naming them....we will look at it together. I can beat my chest to it. The UK is now very OK for anyone who is ready to go into data related career, AI, genetics, or into research. But una wan dey use care enter. Una wan dey wash yansh there only?

Consider travelling to a better European country as UK is now a slave trade centre. Having to wait for over 15 years before getting settled status with hard work to maintain living oo

You wanna hear the truth?
If you are going alone,omo it's gonna be a really long ride given that you have a limited number of work hours. And if your plan is to work beyond the permitted number of hrs (20 hrs /week) you might need to reconsider japa plan because the foundation of your future in the UK is built on and tied to this.
The UK being a working system keeps track of your activities so they will know if you flout this basic immigration law and your ability to extend your stay through the ILR (Indefnite Leave To Remain) stands a risk.

However going with a spouse / dependent on the condition of working unlimited hrs to help you raise your balance as his / her own contribution to this package will in no small reduce the burden on you. So you need to be open about this.

Have you ever heard of students who lost their admisss a result of their inability to pay their tuition fees balance?
Bro don't let anyone anyone deceive you that 20 hrs is enough for you to work to raise your tuition fee balance. Lol.
Consider the fact that you are not the only student looking for work oh, how many jobs really dey available to immigrants in the same condition you are in (students).
What special skills do you have that can help you stand out in the job market?

Lastly, there is a spiritual amgle to all these things oh.
BATTLES ARE FIRST WON OR LOST IN THE SPIRIT REALM FIRST.
Are you ready to embark on a spiritual journey to settle this matter spiritually first? I womt stress this too much.
After settling the spiritual angle,
Are you someone who is not lazy?
Someone who is always up and doing.
Someone who is always thinking in the 4th dimension?
Someone who is production & result oriented?
Someone who is positive minded, always seeing a way when others see no way.
Someone who gets to action when others ate just lamenting and complaining.

Note:
Being around the right person /people , having access to the very right information needed, being in the right place at the right time, taking the right step at the very right time can make a huge difference in this your journey.

ABOVE ALL. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE UNTO THEM THAT BELIEVETH.

Selah.

If your destiny is 9 to 5 slavery go to UK for master but if not stay in Nigeria do business and as your business stabilise do your master however you wish.

You need to seek God's face about the decision you are about to take. I am God's servant . Please send a DM and I will pray and help you ask God about it .

iHart:
why do we always place our kids in the centre of Jakpa? Why can't the jakpa be because of us? Why always because of our kids?

If you jakpa because of kids, the kids will grow to forget you because kids raised abroad tend to drift away from their parents when they clock 18 and above.

Simple, point will always overlook

Do MRes and travel with an understanding dependant. Don’t come to the Uk alone to study unless you have a strong financial support.

Godblessme1:
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

Does the age really matter ? I will be 31 by June and I’m already thinking to japa.

Buffalo2:
Go to The Scadinavian or start a poultry business.

Instead of poultry u go into animal feed business... Which one b poultry?

Ordinary small diesease 35 don die

Blackman101:
`Buy two more lands at about 3m each to hold and use the remaining cash for your business


discard the uk japa

Ireland, but e hard small Sha.

sogamica:
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

Yes, the idea of visiting first is good, but the point is going to visit and come back, about #5m naira don comot from the money.

CharlyOp:
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.

What’s wrong with traveling above 35 ? My then pastor traveled at 40 and he’s doing well now

Spend 1 Year to learn and Master French Language up to B2 Level.

Write DELF Exams if you get the certificate. You can now decide what to do.

Invest in learning a second foreign language.

Amen, sir. This really put a smile on my face. I've been on this forum for so long. I'm a Nigerian, I love Nigerians, and I want the best for everyone of us. I don't know anyone here but I believe most of us are Nigerians, living in Nigeria and facing the same sh!t. I pray we all succeed, regardless of consecutive bad governments we are forced to face. One day, things will change.
