Recently i have been under lots of pressure from friends and family asking me to try and get a visa to leave the country, but i have declined

i understand that things are not well organised in this country but travelling out to me is like putting yourself in an uncertain situation , you don't even know what to expect when you get there

The most annoying for me is the fear of being denied a visa again after trying some years back

I will prefer to rather put my money into a small business here in Nigeria no matter how small and try to grow from there

At least i know some people that have travelled out of the country for years and when ever they come back home they still cant afford a house of their own, they stay with relatives that has never even been to Ghana before

What is your opinion on these nairalanders

The way to escape the harsh economy is productivity, if anyone were really productivity, of course such a person won't leave assets behind to flee anywhere...Like the panacea for darkness if light, so is the panacea for economic challenges productivity. Increase your earnings, Issac sowed in the land and reaped when people were traveling abroad...the likes of Ruth and Her family traveled abroad, what was the end? Traveling abroad is a great way to escape the economic harshness but isn't the only way...Seek jobs you can do with the same time you use in attending to other projects and double your earnings with the same time you use for other projects. God help us all..I'm still on the way too sha...

Not the only way, but one sure way (@ least 75% assurance) for anyone who knows what s/he is doing. I've had a strong belief in the project called "Naija go better" for quite some time, but the way things are going I doubt if this crop of leaders will ever let it be. Countries like US, Canada, Australia and other economically managed countries are not a bad idea, but please, DON'T BE TOO DESPERATE ABOUT TRAVELLING ABROAD, the over desperate applicants are not usually granted the chance.

Does it matter who he voted? Whether Jonathan or Buhari, would there have any difference from the mess we are currently in?

OP, traveling out of the country doesn't guarantee you escaping this current mess, but in my opinion, it's a step in the right direction, and that's even if you know what you are doing.

Op don't leave Nigeria just because people are advising you especially if you have nothing set up that you are going to. Trust me those 'advisers' will tell you're on your own if you end up struggling abroad. People are making a living and more in Nigeria and people abroad are heading back to Nigeria even though they were born and raised abroad.

If you are going abroad to study then go ahead but otherwise you may not be able to stay on the right side of the law immigration wise if you plan on being an over-stayer.

At least i know some people that have travelled out of the country for years and when ever they come back home they still cant afford a house of their own, they stay with relatives that has never even been to Ghana before

Some people have houses of their own but will need "help" to pay their kids school fees, unexpected medical treatment, major,car issues

some people don't have houses of their own but can visit nigeria regularly, their kids are guaranteed proper education and healthcare (abroad or in Nigeria)- they have a good quality of life

Owning a house is not a significant measure of success

At OP a Visa generally speaking is temporary permit allowing you to travel through or to another location.
So it would not help you escape anything. Of course unless you intend to flout the visa conditions and disappear upon entering the said country.
If you can secure a Work Visa on the other hand it is much better. However this "normally" requires you to secure employment beforehand or find a potential employer that would guarantee you a job when you enter.
There is of course other methods previously the UK had a skilled migrant programme that allowed you apply without the requirements above but they've stopped this. Australia and Canada still offer this to a degree.
However for this to be an option for you, you have to be proficient in a sector where there are skill shortages like the medical sciences (nursing etc) or Information Technology etc.

I don't just know why I dislike people that think travelling out of the country is an escape route.....heck, if u can't succeed in ur homeland, where else?
i'm not against them though......different strokes for different folks.

It's a lazy man's mindset, they want to enjoy the fruits of another man's labor - people who have often worked hard (and sacrificed lives) to engage their own political class and better their environment.

No political system or nation is perfect but Nigerians are too content with taking scraps at election time from senators, governors and local government officials who prefer to stash public funds than build/maintain the infrastructure that is needed. Then when you ask why the various communities/community groups don't do anything about it they'll tell you it's not their business. Gross stupidity.

We really need to be honest with each other... who travels outta country if there are opportunities here. Few people get this opportunities now. Its not only about job.. but security een if we leave out infrastrucutures. How can you not be safe in your own country. Am not saying its the best solution to travel out. Travellin naturally is good for the mind. If not for the rotted mind of our leaders.. should they travel out and still come back as fools?? SSo i wont blame anyone that wants to travel out. Yes nigerians do crazy hectic work abroad.. a kind of work you had never dream of doing. Am talking legal now though. But this same job is feeding their famiies back home and giving them something to hold on to everymonth. Guys Nigeria is the problem. Its aleady a state of emergency. When you grduate with good results and you can only be luckky to get a job.. thats very bad

We can only go forward in the event of a situation where we have the opportunity to single-handedly change our past mistake immediately, or better yet letting our experience of the past guide our present. Talking about the 2015 election, we cannot change the mistake we made then, until 2019, can we?

OP, reading your story i have to ask myself that hope am not the one that wrote this in my subconsciousness​. i am also under pressure to get a visa and leave this country. I lost my job last year due to downsizing and i have tried some very small Businesses with what i had but at the end none is yielding, people owing me here and there. The economic environment is not friendly.

In all sincerity, i do not really keen about travelling out but what other options do i have left now, i am in my late thirty with a family and we all need to survive. The few companies that are employing make tougher their recruitment Process due to large, unprecedented number of people in the labour market, this make it a bit hard to get a job now. There is no hope in sight that things will get better any time soon.

Well, i am still trusting God on this before i take any decision.

Can relate with your post, dont stop praying and doing critical evaluation.

We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps. Prov 16, 9

You should try and focus on providing services rather than product based business...

Try and look at business you can do right in your house, trading Nigerian stocks is a perfect example....

@ OP it all depends on the Country you wish to travel to, there are some countries that their labour structure are well Organized, unlike Nigeria here where it takes forever to implement increment of minimum wage and other relevant issues... What our leaders know best is to play politics at the expense of the masses. So my advice to you is to make your research well Cos it ain't worth staying in an economy that is retrogressing.

Abraham was in Ur for Donkey Years, nobody heard about him until the day he took the bold step of leaving Ur for Canaan(whether God asked Him to or Not isn't my Biz)...Today, He is the father of All Nations..

Moses was Just Another Prince in Egypt until He led a handful of Slaves OUT of Egypt through the Desert to Canaan...and today, He is the Father of the Jews.

Mohamed was a Nobody in Mecca, until he went to Medina to get his Mojo before Returning to Mecca as a Conqueror

Ordinary Steps give you Ordiabry Results. if you want a simple contented life with no hassles, then stay in Nigeria and push it, you will surely make it..But if you are my kind who wants to sacrifice all for an excellent tomorrow for my CHILDREN, and see a dream bigger than yourself, then Move. Sheer Determination will get you there.
Go to Travelling Section and seek advice from peeps who have already taken the plunge not from Pussies who havent even left their state of birth be in Nigeria.
