DON'T LISTEN TO Anyone Who Discourages You From Travelling Abroad by Basalt(m): 9:46am On Oct 27, 2019 |
Yea, it's me Basalt and I always don't wanna paint words. I am a graduate of Geology from UNN (with over 4point GP). I received much discouraging advice especially from my relatives in America and even my friends telling me that since I have a high GP and still young I should continue applying for jobs in Nigeria because Abroad is no longer what it used to be. I was listening to their lies and applying to non existing jobs for complete 2YRS. Out of all those applications, I was able to secure only private school jobs which paid less than 30,000 with lots of stress on my life. After 2years of frustration and earning like a rat, I came back to my senses. I sold everything I had, borrowed money from my elder sister's husband (God bless them for me) and entered Germany last month on student visa because to me, all die na die (even if I perish in Germany I will perish happily than continue crying in silence in Nigeria) On getting here mehn, the first thing I regreted was not leaving Nigeria earlier. I blamed myself for listening to their lies and discouragement all these while thats why I deem it important to open this thread and pray Moderator pushes it to the front page because I know there are many people receiving such discouragement as we speak. within three weeks of comming here, I have a part-time job that pays me 13.5 euros per hour (I work for 80hrs per month) in addition to that, I have one mini job that pays me 445 euros per month. My accommodation is 350 Euros per month and my living expenses are about 150 Euros a month or highest 200 if I spend heavily. In addition to that, I have access to a world-class education for almost free and stand a better chance of getting a professional job after my masters and you know what that means? Now do the Maths and tell me how it is not better than less than 30,000 Naira which I was earning in Nigeria before leaving? Some people will say I am lucky but honestly, I am yet to see any student in Germany die of hunger here unless he is lazy. I repeat, NEVER you listen to anyone telling you to remain in Nigeria UNLESS you are earning fat salary in Nigeria, even the so-called politicians send their children here. 339 Likes 34 Shares |

OP I like your encouragement but what works out for you might not work out for others that's just life but still it depends on the individual and the country they are trying to get to and I wish you success over there. And what part of Germany are you in? 27 Likes 3 Shares |

I wonder what people gain by advising others not to take giant leaps to their destiny, like if you are scared of leaving your comfort zone, why encourage others not to We should be careful of those we take advice from!! 51 Likes 3 Shares |
