cool !

The advantage of traveling abroad is enormous. I’m in a similar shoe with the OP, have a few plots of land, but instead of developing them, wish to relocate.
Mostly because of my kids. Opportunities for kids in Nigeria is limited but boundless abroad.

Just like some people have said, pray but if you don’t have checks in ur heart pls travel to a good country. I hv never seen someone who spent his career abroad and regret it.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT SEND MONEY FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO DEVELOP YOUR LAND FOR YOU!!!!!!!!! Have someone monitor it BUT DO NOT GIVE ANYBODY SHIT TO DO FOR YOU. I can’t repeat this enough.

Certainly a bad idea of a country to relocate unless your life revolves around Ashawo

Travel abroad but not the UK. Avoid the UK by all means. They are only interested in our money. After that, they flush you back home. Do your masters instead in South Africa. After masters, you get work there and live a quality life that UK can't even give you. Thank me later

If you do not like South Africa for their xenophobic tendencies, then pick Ireland. After studying, there are job opportunities. After studying, you can apply for job, green card or resident permit. Also, as a student, you are permitted to work up to 40 hrs per week compared to 20 hours per week in UK. Fvcck UK bro

My own opinion is if u are a Christian, pray to God first about it. We are all human beings nd limited in things pertaining to the future, God knows what is ahead of u.
It might eventually be either of the two ideas or none of the ideas. God knows better, pray to him and ask for direction,he will surely direct ur path.

God bless you for this comment.

@OP: If you are a Christian, please seek God's direction; nobody on this platform knows what will happen in 10 minutes time but God knows what will happen 40 years from now. What worked for Mr. A might not work for Mr. B.

Don't you think it's wise to seek his face on this issue? He will definitely direct your path.

So I have a bit of time and I feel I should drop a point or two. As Nigerians, we have a problem that needs to be addressed, that problem is the sense of entitlement. When you apply for your UK visa in Nigeria, there’s a clear immigration rules pertaining to what your rights are as an international student visa. Reading some comments here, I’m disgusted by the number of Nigerians who believe that just by having a student visa and finishing a degree here, everything should be handed over to you on a silver platter; job, residence permit and whatnot. Making a transition from student visa to being able to get work placement, blend into the society and hopefully get a permanent residency might be a farfetched dream because they don’t expect you to stay here after your graduation. But we have this problem of thinking we have a degree, then UK should provide a job after spending a fortune in tuition fees, NO they won’t! Infact your student visa is like a contractual agreement between two parties. In this scenario, yourself and the British consular in Nigeria who you convinced to give you a visa.

You are allowed to work maybe 10 or 20 hours per week and it is no brainer that the UK put this filtering system in place to prevent the influx of international students in their labour market, they will give jobs to their citizens first and I will tell you this for free, international students will be at the very bottom end of the spectrum unless you have a desirable skillset or a STEM degree, a job you will be lucky to get anyway because work experience will probably be required which boils down to the main point that as soon as you finish your studies, UK expect you to get on the plane and jet back to Nigeria.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not trying to knock anyone for wanting to get a better life and try their luck in the UK, but that sense of entitlement needs to stop. If you want to come to the UK, you’re within your right to do that but get your fact right, educate yourself, ignorance is not an excuse because otherwise you will be slapped in the face with reality when you get here without planning and weighing your pros and cons. On the issue of getting a permanent residence in the UK, I guess there are different ways to skin a cat but I can’t stress it enough, get rid of that sense of entitlement because UK don’t owe you anything, not a job after your degree, not a residence permit. Nothing!

You just mislead people anyhow with the information y'all heard from 'Dem says'


Anyways it's left to the OP to decide the best for him. Because right now I'm very sure he is more confused than he was

Skymoore1004:
Go and ask people that got the two years before it was ended by Theresa May, most of them still came back to Naija. Two years post study visa doesn’t guarantee shit! A white man will not hire a man from a country known for fraud, to manage his business or company. That two years visa is only going to benefit a very small percentage of people eg: medicine students, some good IT & engineering guys. Most other people end up just doing part time work all through that two years to make up their tuition and plan their next move, which is coming back or looking for who to marry or another country to move to or some shit. Truth be told, that two years visa is just to attract more students for their benefit (tuition revenue) and more international students to work in care homes etc

Oga sir,for countries like USA and Ireland that also give post study work visas,is it automatic renewal after the expiration? U make it sound like UK is any different from these countries own!
The two years post study visa is to enable buy time to try and get a permanent residence permit as well as a job with a sponsor.....changing to tier 2 visa.
Many people want to leave nija and trust me they don't mind changing their current profession or course just to get something to keep them permanently in the UK. An accountant in nija can go to the UK and switch to nursing after doing masters in UK just to get a sponsor to change visa to tier 2.
Stop discouraging people. Also tell them the pros and stop reeling out the cons. People need to hear about the two sides,not one side...... especially the discouraging ones!

Don't make this mistake sire, even if you will travel, develop your home front in case things go south.

Relocating with work permit is very different from the OP that intends going for masters.

As another OP said UK masters is indeed "scamm" ooooo.. all they want is your money and if you really want to do well you will no have time to work odd jobs (which will barely pay rent and living expense), also there is no post study visa (although there are plans to bring it back). So once you are done and have given the UK Govt 12-15million you will be shipped back to Naija with an expensive paper you earned.. then back to the job market.

Relocating is good; but please explore other countries. Canada, Australia, Ireland etc with friendly immigration policies.. it isn't very easy to get admissions to these countries because it is a sure path to immigration. Give your land to someone to farm . and go look for Foreign exchange!!

What if you sell off everything and the money falls into hands of scammers.

How you go do?

Make sure you don't go waste that money abroad and return to an incomplete data home, please.

You didn’t even read the post you shared. It said 40hrs only vacation time and 20hrs during studies. Mind you, UK is unlimited hours during vacations.

Get your facts right before misleading people.

If them check you never even commot from your state once sef

Done that and got the certificate, nairaland is volunteering .

If you worked as a system engineer and was earning 2K euros per month in Germany then you degree doesn't worth the paper its written on.

bro if you have same degree with a German person do you think you will be receiving same salary? I never even tell you that I am receiving 2k you see how low your brain is?

I'm surprised you're giving this kids attention. They obviously don't know who you are and how you've helped people on this forum with your UK immigration knowledge.

OP what are you still waiting for, in Nigeria?
I will advise you to find your way out of Nigeria sharp sharp, if you have the genuine means of leaving.
I made the worst mistake in my life, in 2011. In 2011, I was making an average of #200k per month then in Naija, I thought I ve arrived. Anything abroad was cancelled in my dictionary. Within a space of 5years, I couldn't make up to #40k per month due to bad Government. Things became soo bad for me for many yrs, until I took the bold step to leave naija to one of the Arab country(GC).
OP within one year in this foreign country, what I couldn't achieve for the past 7yrs in naija, I have achievied them now by God grace.(though you have to work 12hrs/day).

Then build ur house in Nigeria

Canada
You can travel

SILVERLINES:


You are not traveling abroad for employment or business but a master degree programme, what will become of you when you are done with your masters and probably no guarantee job waiting for you?

Think very well before you lavish the money on unproductive projects or I will rather advice you use the money on meaningful business where you can generate more money to sort out others things your soul desire.

Even if you take other advices, discountenance this. If I did not, I would be in the rat race still. Go to school. Pursue education. If you can get professsional kpali or Phd. Masters don too common now. Aim higher. As for house, abeg leave that. When pple in church are giving testimonies of moving to thier houses "huts", look to move to your mansion. Dream big and aim big.

So u r saying, if u get UK visa today, u d Japa??

Constantjohn:
Incase you are traveling out. Can u fold me in your traveling bag??

Please take your advice from foreign based Nigerians or Nigerians returnees. These are the people that can give you correct information about abroad, not these wannabes. Do your research, find out what happened to Nigerians that left Nigeria in the 70s 80s 90s 2000s? Majority are still in these foreign countries struggling to survive. 90 to 95% of these Nigerians will die over there. Majority can't afford relocate back to Nigeria. Do your research and you will discover that I'm telling you nothing but the truth. I'm not trying to discourage you but just telling what had happened to Nigerians in U.S.. Good luck.

Even if you travel aboard you will come back one day now, is it my house you wanna come and stay or what... presently no road for travelling just complete your house

Are you Phrakleen a youtuber.

All I will say is Naira is just getting worse more depreciating in values against foreign currencies . Why? Because we are developing nations and we will continue depending on Big nations like the UK, USA, Germany, Europeans etc. No local production is guaranteed satisfactory. Forget all they preach we Nigerians like foreign products so the dollar and pounds will continue rising for now.

What makes a good nation is Good roads, infrastructure , health systems and quality of life.

You see that quality of life is what many are missing in NIGERIA, We want the best for our children because our own system cannot, No place like home but when a home is in disarray we move, see, no perfect place but a strong and viable nations will always do well than the poor nations where the leaders have emersed the wealth meant for a larger population through corruption and untill selfishness and greed is resolved, we may never grow in this generation and the one to come. Even the rich can't stay safe in Nigeria. I have heard what keep most rich people here is their investment, they go abroad like water, for what? To refresh, get ideas and relocate their children for better exposures. The rich are wise most have dual citizenship why? They don't trust your country, almost all our leaders have dual citizenship Why? In case things fall apart..I go Japa with my family, they know the important and will not want you attain their height.Except your God says you should stay here, men please go for your masters abroad, the money to complete the house will be achieved when you start working with your acquired skills just ensure your master is in a good field, and your work permit will be sorted with the company.The immigration system of Boris Johnson in UK may favour student in the next 4years. Sir, 1500 pounds to your Naira na basket full of money. Lastly, When you marry a good wife working together in uk or US you wiil be full with goodlife and wealth because two goods hands are better than one.

Goodluck sir.
