Am gradualy saving up! When it hits d desired amount! I'll say bye bye to u guys

Nice one bro�

Eriokanmi:
Come back 15 years later and share your Canada experience with us young man . But when you come back, hope you'd not hide when you see your friends and mates you left behind Progress .

Nigeria is a land of opportunities to only those who have the inner eyes to see one. Nothing can ever make me take such a decision of relocating. If you want to go, bye-bye but you'd spot the difference in later years if you choose to remain there . Why not apply same spirit on developing yourself here? Go there for studies and come back with opportunities. I'd like to cite a few examples below on some of us who came back, against all odds.

1- I've been around the globe, even acquired certificates, up to 4 different ones and some training skills in amazing facilities. I came back with an opportunity which is seriously proferring solutions to our problems in Nigeria. No manager in the leading oil and gas company in Nigeria can match my worth...no be bragging matter. I don hobnob with world leaders, including Barack Obama. I'd have regretted it, had I stayed back.

2-Anyone who goes to one of the old generation banks would see an inverter with battery banks on one side of their banking hall, powering their atms... its as a result of an innovation brought home by my uncle. He left union bank for Atlanta in the 90s, got employed at Walmart as stores officer. One day, as he was going home branched at a newspaper vendor( a mexican) booth to read papers as usual and there he spotted an Inverter company located in Arlington. I'm mentioning it as it is so people could check it out. Its called Trace Engineering, later changed their name to Xantrex. He applied to them to be their rep in Nigeria to solve the epileptic power supply in critical sectors but they refused his application for 3 reasons. One, that the product was new to Africa and 2ndly, that being black, it would be impossible to convince his people on adopting the technology. 3rdly, that they weren't ready to expand beyond the shores of America as at that time. He felt disappointed. 2 months later, they called and told him they had reconsidered his application and invited him for 2 weeks training after which he was asked to come to Nigeria with demos to show to his prospects.

Long story cut short, his friends of Nigerian decent blasted him, they said his village people had come calling. He summoned courage and left America with almost nothing. On getting home, he started from his 1-room apartment he left behind. He went to companies, the CBN and other places in government too. CBN told him they had constant power supply with 3 standby automatic switch generators so, they'd not need his ideas. He told them but its free, they now allowed him to install one at their IT dept. 6 months later they had issues with their generators as there were a major power outage from national grid so they over fired the generators. They all packed up within same time. They had to order parts from abroad but then they needed to keep their IT dept running to prevent loss of files. The moment the 3rd gen stopped , all the directors were panicking, rushed to the IT room only to find out that the staff were working as normal with lights on. The called my uncle over, thanked him for saving them a major disaster and gave him a contract to install the inverter on all the CBN branches nationwide. Shortly after that, the atm revolution came and CBN recommended this man to all banks starting from the old generation banks...this man won a global distributor of the year 4 times and was invited with family to the USA for an award each time. His colleagues back then can't even near him in anything. Rather he gives them money on each visit. If you want to go...go and school or you spend a little time and while you're there, study the environment, study our challenges back home and you'd not regret leaving for home ultimately.

A friend is talking with sanwoolu on ocean transport from ikorodu to lagos Island now and discussion is at advanced stage . He's worked with a similar company abroad for some years now and now he wants to tap into the opportunity and the company is ready to fund this project 100%. When you see his private jets or copter hovering ahead of you tomorrow you see him on forbes list, don't say money why...while working in the biting cold over there.

Kenny and D1 would have stayed put and remained stagnated. See the duos balling today. Their contribution to the entertainment industry is invaluable. These are the people we know. There are several other successful guys out there who took a similar decision.

My 50cents had been given...

The opportunity came because he travelled abroad. There are no opportunities here like that.
All the big companies I have worked for ... I got all the jobs from the directors. I am also working on establishing my own company by God's grace.
What if he was working in Lagos.
How will he come near an inverter company in USA.
It's just God's purpose.
Everywhere is ok.

how? I don't know anybody in Canada

lekki1444:
nigga you got 2 million naira put yourself through

Kokaine:
Omo.... These comments don dey make me fear make I no lie. Its like there are two sides to this abroad thing oh. Maybe I've been seeing only one side. I have a good job here I don't know if going abroad is worth it. Make I no go do watin I go regret later

Bros these inconsiderate people in power are working hard to officially devalue our currency N1000 to a dollar within the next 1-3years, that means that the very good job salary real value will drop from 500k to 150k by then.

Is that what you want?

FinianIb:
I remember one time, I was talking to a Nigerian born American complaining about how bad the economy is and so on, he just smiled and said this "you don't know how bad Nigeria is till you leave it" then he said " if you say Nigerian economy is shambolic, you are praising it"

There is no Economic model in Nigeria.

For those in Nigeria’s government, how much did International Oil Companies pay in today, and how much was realized from the seaports to share, is the only model.

Jungle Economy in Nigeria.

humilitypays:
it is an impossible task to flush them out and make Nigeria a developed country, to be frank with you, there is no hope for a collective better Nigeria. The youths agitating to take over are worst criminals, are they not the same people that make up Boko Haram Militants, bandits, kidnappers, political thugs and armed robbers and rotualists killing their fellow youths without mercy Is it not the same youths that spend their data and time defending a directionless, selfish, wicked, nepotistic Buhari government Nigeria and all West African or black nations can only get worst by the day, it is their destiny.


You can only work for your personal and family breakthrough, it is the saddest truth about black nations.


Which black nation on earth is doing well to give you hope that Nigeria will be better someday None! Even the ones with less than 5million population and massive crude oil resources are struggling to exist, take Gabon and others for example.

Black Africans are shameless people. It hurts me a lot that I am one of them because I know I was designed to be a pure Caucasian but mistakenly landed in Nigeria

hhhhhhhh absolutely funny though u made sense but when there is life there is still hope mr CAUCASIAN

LutanFyah:
Your subtle attempt to discourage people from migrating to better opportunities cannot be hidden and I will never standby and watch any of you dampen the spirits of people who want to migrate with your watery rhetorics.


You're a slave right in your own country cos you can't stroll out at night without police behind you, you can't question your Governor for siphoning your money, you cannot protest against police brutality (soldiers will kill you), herdsmen can comfortably go to your village and rape the women in the farm (you can never do anything about it),you still see flyovers as development, you cannot ask your leaders to fix just one refinery after years of independence (try it and get shot) your employer can comfortably sack you for being Yoruba (Not that you don't do your job)



NOW WHO IS THE SLAVE?

how many time did you call America govt to fix the gun control problem in their country?


a slave and his fellow imbeciles trying to prove they're not slaves. imagine doing testimony and Thanksgiving for travelling to abroad, such a joke in this 21 century


many ediots had emanated from Africa for real, just make sure you don't breed another imbeciles like you

Are you aware that there are exceptions to every rule? That you've gone round the world, had an opportunity to speak to a past president had an uncle who cashed in on solar energy and stuff.
That's YOU.
Some people need to leave this frustrating system before they can make any headway in life. Respect that.

YourGrandfather:
how much you get

I have 2million in my account will that be enough to leave this country sharp sharp

YourGrandfather:
you are worried about a drug addict shooting anyhow, the one boko haram dey do na Tom and jerry abi?

the killing in northern part of the country is what their people want or do you see them protest against it?


as you will never see me step to that usa to be killed, is the same way you will never see me live in northern Nigeria


so what exactly is your point and how is BHT activities my concern? worry about the existing problem in where you're

Maize621:
I came to Poland and in this short space, I have realised how messed the Nigerian system is. It doesn't build her youth for success, it destroys them. Here, we're hopeful for tomorrow as there's light at the end of the tunnel. We can see it, and it is for this we put in hard work

Nice. If you don't mind my asking, Sometime back I intended pursuing an Msc @ SGH Warsaw graduate school.

What are the after School job prospects for foreign students? Or even going to western europe?

Kokaine:
Omo.... These comments don dey make me fear make I no lie. Its like there are two sides to this abroad thing oh. Maybe I've been seeing only one side. I have a good job here I don't know if going abroad is worth it. Make I no go do watin I go regret later

You just have to prepare. If you have the experience or skillset for a job and you get employed there, you have no issues. I feel it's if you have issues with your papers that things won't really favour you. The chances of you clinging a job over there without greasing palms is infinite.
Boss, since you have a good job, why not try vacationing in one of these countries for a start. Do your observations and make your judgement.

SAME HERE PLEASE

Blackdeewhy:
To whom it may concern!
Let's make agreement, you pay for my trip to CANADA, I will work take many jobs it takes to pay you back in TRIPLE FOLD!

Jaqenhghar:
Its jealousy. Plain and simple. You know in prison, not everyone is happy when a prisoner is about to be freed so they will try to humiliate that prisoner and break him before he leaves.
Look at rhe woman talking. She looks like she is past her productive age. What can she contribute to any serious society?

You're right boss.

Jaqenhghar:
Trust Niggerians

ABEG WHO GET SOMEONE THAT IS RICH ... ABEG MAKE HE SPONSOR ME I GO PAY AM LATER WHEN I GET TO CANADA

I CAN'T WASTE MY DESTINY HERE !!!

PataAlhajaKeji:
To all the Naija-based hustlers that made it while in Naija ... Double twale to all of us! We too much. Despite the hard, harsh economic environment, we still dey ball!

My padi once told me that this abroad-travelling thing na for those wey no dey strong and smart enough to make am for Naija. I agree with am small sha but not fully. Some people just want a society that works and "abroad" will give you that, no doubt.

But for me, I can never trade my stay in Naija for any damn thing!

On a visit, few years back, I spent two weeks in the posh, serene, organized streets of Baltimore, MD, U.S.A and I was fuckin' itching to return to my hectic, stress-filled Lagos. I just couldn't fathom why. May be 'cos I was missing ẹwa agoyin, cat fish, Nkwobi and cold Guiness big stout.

Wahala Eko b'ami lara mu bajẹ bajẹ ...

Your name and Personality along with your comment dey wan kind. PataAlhajaKeji Smh

I also have two million but i don't even know if it is enough or how i will do it sef
what if I get denied where i go see money do another one again

Hassanmaye:
I have 2million in my account will that be enough to leave this country sharp sharp

InvertedHammer:

It is pointless debating with anyone living in Nigeria. Once you leave Nigeria and land in any other country (especially outside of Africa), you will realize that Nigeria is worse than a shithole. How can you debate with someone who marvels at the construction of freaking flyovers or pedestrian bridges?

Hahahaha

destiny waster country where children in primary school sit on bare floor with caved in roof to receive learning instructions and even where undergrad also sit on the bare floor with bushy environment to receive lecture!

Is that what u are proud of?

YourGrandfather:

you go waya your entire lineage koboko, how is that my business


I made my stand without forcing anybody, you can go to your Canada and save those that don't want to go the stress

sweetmelanin:
The way folks are running to Canada..I'm starting to get tempted myself. I wonder how many people from the UK have relocated there too.

..at the rate at which things are going, Nigerians will soon turn Ontario into Peckham

like Peckham Nigeria's village in the UK so is Ontario Nigeria's community in Canada.

gypsey:
You don't sound convincing enough, you are mocking me more like.

Give me a good advert on Nigeria, make me believe Nigeria is a place worth relocating to.

Mocking you ke? Shebi you said if we all run who will fix Nigeria? So I'm urging you to be the change we wanna see

encryptjay:
The way they insulted that Muyiwa guy ehn. I didn't expect that sha.
Very vile comments. You can succeed anywhere, if he felt Nigeria wasn't good for him, fine! Don't know why they were dragging him like that.

Because many use it as a platform to insult their heritage.

If the guy struggled so much with IELTS, it wouldn't be premature to conclude he'll indeed find it difficult to land a white collar job over there.

If you have close ones in Canada, ask them what they were doing in Nigeria for work and how it compares to what they do in Canada.

No doubt, the society is more organized but it doesn't tell the full story of what our people end up doing to survive over there.

you go waya ur papa koboko
oya leave me alone

you go waya your entire lineage koboko, how is that my business

Canada doesn't take just any Nigerian. Their immigration system is designed to hand-pick only intelligent and resilient immigrants.

Do you think intelligent and crooked Nigerians don't have a certificate.

lekki1444:
2 MIllion is morethan enough. thats like 5 thousand dollars.you can buy enough ticket for 6 people to canada sef

Don't expect any "collective progress" of any black group anywhere in the world.

It will not happen in our life time. Not today not tomorrow.

Black race is "intellectually inferior" when compared with other races. The race with the lowest IQ. I have no apologies for this.. that's the bitter truth. I said this in another thread and some ppl couldn't bear it.

Black people in Africa are poor and backwards.

Black community in America are the most poorest and backwards when compared with other races.
Black people in Brazil are the poorest when compared with other races there.

The same goes with blacks in Cuba, Venezuela, Haiti, Australia, Europe, Asia etc the story is the same where ever they reside. They're always at the bottom of every indexes no matter the continent they are found.. which goes to indicate that the problem is in their brains.

So don't be surprised when you see Nigerians preferring to constitute nuisance all over the world instead of thinking ways of fixing theirs,even if it means starting a revolution and dying in the process. After all most of these countries they're running to once had bloody revolution in the past.

But they won't, the problem is in our psyche.

in which region is that happening and your propaganda won't change my stand, if I'm not proud of Nigeria present state doesn't mean I should be a slave in another person's Land


till date I still hate what my ancestor went through in the hand of these useless whites, I'm an African man and a Nigerian, till southwest have her own country.


I swear I've the opportunity to travelled abroad some Years back but politely rejected the offer, I hate being a slave. not everyone that's living in Nigeria is suffering, white that you're running to that country, stays/live in Nigeria too perhaps for business like every Nigerian businessmen and only return to their countries during holidays
