I like the answers here, thanks everyone for saying that he should invest in Nigeria.

Business ideas for you sir, but pray and ask God for direction

1. Transportation business: you can buy 5 tokunbo 2000-2003 sienna's with 9m and put them in the road, one sienna can bring you profit of 400k monthly

2. More are coming

Hmmmm. For these terrible roads?

Nice but what type of business?

But sincerely, part of the reason why i want to leave is safety of my life and my sanity.

I want my future kids to come into the world in a sane environment with top class Education.

I feel with me in the USA, i will be opening doors and opportunity for my siblings which are in school right now.

One of my sisters is studying as a nurse, i want her to work in USA as a professional Nurse and i feel with me establishing myself there, if will be possible.

I don't think about myself only, as the eldest child and son, i want the best life for my siblings, so my parents will be proud of me, i want my parents to visit me freely In USA and i feel this 20 million naira is GOD answering my prayers.

Hope you understand?
lol oga travel out. People here are advising you better and you're still stubborn. Ordinary 20million. The way you will go broke on USA will shock you. Goodluck

A better option will be to apply for the Canadian skilled worker, get a permanent residence in Canada. You can then start a business in Nigeria and shuttle to Canada at will, that way you wont be testing the waters with both feet.

Best advice so far.

My brother stop disturbing us you hear?. People that have 20M don't ask this kind of question. You no get money jare

I think it's very clear the guy has no such funds in his account

Someone advices him to start biz with the money, then he asked the person which biz, how did he get 20million in the first place

If he really hustle legit to get the 20milla, I don't expect him to be asking which biz he should start with 20milla

I started biz with 10k, plus plenty side hustle, we save up till the money could start a bigger biz

Hello dear nairalanders.

Please I'm going through a state of mental confusion.

Currently i have approximately 20 million and 300 thousand naira in my bank account.

I have two thoughts.

1) I am 25 years old but I'm not a university graduate, i only have ND (National deploma) from a polytechnic In Edo state, Auchi precisely.

I would have become a graduate years ago but after my "ND" years ago, i refused to go back to school and i decided to hustle for money.

Most of my classmates in school back then are all graduates but all the same, looking at my bank account now, i have no regrets.

So this is what i plan on doing.

1) Can i further my Education In any university in the United States with the money and plan on staying back after my degree, for the fact that I'm 25.
Will that be advisable?

2) should i stay back in Nigeria and use part of the money to build a house In my hometown in Benin and use the rest for business?

3) Is there a chance of going to USA and start all over again, look for job.
Will the money be enough to rent a house, foot some bills untill i see a job in the USA.

Note i choose USA only because it's my dream country, I'm not scared of the traveling ban because I'm 100% confident that it will be taken away few months from now.

Please i won't be replying any mention or questions.

All i want is to take note of good advice.

I already know a reliable traveling agent.

Please other suggestions are welcomed apart from mine.

Please help


Nice to know you had your N.D from Auchi Polytension cheesy

I'm gonna give you two options as stated below:

Relocate to the States and establish yourself but have this in mind that their lifestyle is more better than Nigeria. THERE IS NO PARADISE IN AMERICA.

Start a exportation business in Nigeria (Exporting of Charcoal, Bitter Kola, Cashew Nuts E.T.C) You will make profits in millions within a couple of months.

Please and please do not travel to america better use that money to start up a business go to china and import goods and resell it here in nigeria.

if was in your shoes i would not be talking about travelling out. As of now a business trip to china with 20 million to buy goods will fetch you not less than 28 to 30 million within three to five months after you must have sold off your goods i am sure of what i am talking about. i have friends that are importers with lower amount but the profit they make is mind blowing.

please dont travel to america.

Me thinks, the money is not enough to give you the good life in America, but can start you off well enough then with some more hustle, you will make it bigger.
Get an admission into a US university, study for a degree and while at it you can get some lil student job to support yourself and possibly you can delve into car imortation business if you have someone you can trust down here in Nigeria or some other things which you will notice once you are in the system in the US.
If you can hustle over time and make 20m in Naija, mehn, u should be able to make more overseas.
Those advising you to start business with the 20m too may have a point, but if you see the the way businesses are folding up due to the harsh business environment in Naija, you will fear.
Leave this country, and give yourself 5-6years overseas, you won't regret it. That's what I feel Sha.

Even GoKada CEO has lost millions of capital due to sudden change of government policy

Re: With N20M, Should I Travel To USA Or Stay In Nigeria? by anonimi: 8:59am On Feb 22, 2020
BryanG:
1. Hold your 20m very well, and continue doing your business if it’s genuine business.
2. Enroll to start a part-time degree program immediately at a university closes to your business
3. But if you have the time and brain, enroll to start an external degree program at a university abroad. That way u don’t have to leave Nigeria and your business for school .
4. When u have the degree, you can decide whether u wanna relocate to the USA maybe for masters. If u get a foreign degree, u could land a job with it when you relocate.
5. Building a house in your hometown is not the best idea, except you have excess money.
6. Leaving your biz for USA to start afresh is a bit risky, except your absolutely sure. Having trusted relatives who can help you with accommodation until you find your feet can help.
7. Always a good idea to have an option of staying abroad in case Nigeria fails. There too much uncertainty here.

Even if he has excess money there are better, more productive things to do with the excess than build a wasting asset in a hometown.
How about renovating his primary school, secondary school etc in the hometown? Clinic, hospital, library? Won't they add more value to his life and the lives of everyone in the hometown than a building that will be used maybe 10% (37 days) in a year at most?

The too much uncertainty here is promoted by people wasting money on hometown houses they will hardly use while there are more beneficial things to spend "excess" money on.

With that type of money you are king in Nigeria. Look for a good and reliable business. Use your Brian and think of a good business you can handle. Eg, phone business, laptops, food business or transpiration business. Just look for a good and profitable business you can invest In. You can always travel to USA anytime once you double your money. For example, here at computer village. My boss is making is money here in Nigeria and he travels to any part of the world for holiday but is business is here in Nigeria. Once you start your own biz and you start buying goods from China, USA and UK na them go dey find you because they know you also contribute to their economy......... I don't know if this my comment make sense.

I like you guts. Keep it up. My 'if I were you advise' below

1. I will not use any agent, I will rather try to sort out the travel stuff myself by reading through the appropriate sections here on NL

2. I will either apply to go study in the US a 4 year course by which time when I graduate, I will have the opportunity to remain behind to follow my dreams after the ban must have been lifted. I stand better chance if I schooled in the US

3. I will also look at the Canada option to relocate and get my residency there and passport. This will give me unfettered access to the US in the future

4. I can also look at going to the UK to further my education and gain residency + passport then move to the US.

5. I will ensure that the source of cash flow is well documented in my bank statements to avoid stories that touches the heart.

6. I will not invest in any Nigerian shares or stocks. I will look to invest in shares abroad to maintain the cash.

7. I will not be distracted to start business of a y sort in Nigeria. I may set up my parents to do business for their sustenance though.

8. I will not gamble part of it or be deceived into using proxies

9. I will not hesitate to begin the process to relocate in earnest

All the best to you. Feel free to reach out to me.

Get a land in lagos or Benin where you will settle down after marriage

Put up a self contain or mini flat building upto 5 flats at the rear and the will have their own entrance

Put it for rent use the money and build a main building for your family and you will have your own entrance where you will settle

As you make more money, you will be thinking of how to complete your education and you make more efforts so thst when you want you go abroad for holidays and your wife will have her children abroad

Keep that amount of money away from the eyes of your family, even friends considering your age, it's a big amount of money

A lot of guys outside the country will run to Nigeria with that amount of money. It also good to travel as a young man. Split the money in half and travel. If you make it to the US, forget entertainment, the competition is cutthroat, it can even take you 3 year just to get your accent in check. Learn a trade 1_2 years Auto or HVAC you will be alright. Most importantly dno rush into marriage, study the system before you marry.

Do you have interest in aviation?
You could apply to any of the pilot training schools in the usa(as that is your prefared destination). To get you private pilot license will cost you around $10k. You do not need a degree for that.
On the alternative (which I feel is better), apply to any university in Canada for any course. You are entitled to apply for residency after 6 months. While as a student too you are entitled to bring your spouse or dependance once you can show prove that you can sustain them. This you have with 20m.
You ma wish to gamble your 20m in naija, but if na me despite my age, I go japa!
