Bro I understand what you are saying.
But what if I get a job before I land?
I have got friends (Indians) who are expatriate turned immigrant in Canada(because Canada is very welcoming to Cyber guys). Yeah they are Indians, but I have got 5 connection on LinkedIn(not bragging) from different companies.
So what if I've got a job and ma legal papers, I should still wait in Naija abi?
The truth is if I am fully sorted I go japa for this country. Olohun.

Then make sure the job is in the bag before you japa...Bro, many diasporans will not tell you, but if reality sets in, you will know why they say a bird at hand is worth two in the bush...

Don’t make the mistakes our more successful working class keep repeating...I escaped Naija because as a graduate, my pay was 20k which was irregular and I had to save my family and my life lol...If i was earning 500k, I WOULD NEVER HAVE LEFT NAIJA

If I no comment on this wonderful thread wetin I gain? Ibrahimovic may your barrack remain strong, and may your defense never loose guard. Thanks for putting off the veil from our eyes. I read painstakingly every page till the end.
My own part is this my people, I am a final year student, already in my second semester trying to right exams before ASUU bring their yeye strike. I want to leave this country by all means. I have always been a die hard lover of the US, until someone advised me to go for tuition free countries. From my research I know Germany and Norway gives free tuition for Masters, and I have chosen Norway over Germany because of their standard of living. Although there's no law binding their minimum wage, but you can get 21 dollars per hour as a minimum wage in Norway. I have a lot to do Ibra and my people
1: Admission opens in October for Norway schools, I am already in one thread concerning people living in Norway and I can see they are not active. I want to write Toefl, but I never hold money. I sometime stumbled on one thread at a time where someone was assisted in writing his standardized test. I wouldn't mind if anyone fit help my ministry, so I can move to the permanent site. If Norway, Germany or Finland come my way like Davolee song, abeg I Wan commot before January 2020.. God no go Shame us all.

If i was earning even that 400k, I would only visit the western world for holidays...The bills one even pay here is so mid blowing that you really have to work your ass off to even have savings, nothing is free here, I would only advice those hopeless graduates without jobs to migrate, not people with filling stations and big businesses, these types cannot face the kind of hustle we do here, because when they remember their class back home, they will just fall into depression, I’m getting fed up of senior ex bankers here from Nigeria complaining to me that they have been doing menial jobs for 8years...

Bro are you for REAL? Bro are you saying this because you are not in Nigeria? Both the rich and poor are facing it really bad. Insecurity, Inadequate Power Supply, Poor Transport Network, High Crime rate, poor health care etc.
Bro I know no country is without its own pros and cons, but seriously there are more cons than pros in Nigeria.
And as I said, I wouldn't abruptly leave Nigeria without first getting a job in my intended country. But if I can get a job in my field and my legal papers, I am off.

Yes oh...I’m particularly making reference to those who have/had the potentials to be multimillionaires in Naija but just threw everything away to come and hustle here for so many years again...I wish I could transfer the pains on their faces to this discussion, but your last statement is okay, if you get a fantastic job abroad while in Naija, it is a different case

Yeah more like it...with those, your future anywhere in the West is rest assured...I know that Naija is crap at the moment but the privileged ones should look before they leap sha...Truth is, a jobless graduate living in Shomolu and coming here to hustle menials will be happier than a millionaire from same Naija, haba...!

Good choice but Germany is cheaper than Norway...Like even Finns here dey complain about am, so as a student trying to migrate on a tight budget, I will advise you to observe Germany well unless maybe a big miracle happens that lots of money falls on you

Please, I have a question. Is there any opportunity for someone to get a better job in academics? Like, finishing masters over there and further enroll for a Ph.D with the hope of getting employed upon completion of the Doctorate programme.

Of course! We have a fantastic lecturer at VAMK..heard he’s a yoruba man that came here over 20yrs ago..others are still upcoming too, but time, grace, smartness and patience best describes this country/continent even, now you will need to learn how to display your talents to these lecturers, by speaking Finnish too and showing them how good you are, ”but never outshine the master” wink

Like even though the Standard of living is maybe a little higher than here, including salaries, but everything is damn expensive....For example the Tupla chocolate you get for less than €1 here can be as high as €4 there, if you are not on a great scholarship or your folks are not Otedola, omor reconsider.

I agree with you on this bros. Maintaining a good career line abroad if the opportunity avails is a good migration move that worths desiring But trading a good living here for uncertainty abroad should be given a second thought .
