Travel › Re: Finally Migrated To Australia At Age 48. This Is My Story So Far by Princedapace(m): 10:29am On Apr 01, 2024
Usefulsense:
Before I commence my story, I want to specifically thank those who advised me not to travel. Your advise was borne out of genuine love and concern. One stated clearly that I should not leave known for unknown.

However, taking the bold step to leave Nigeria at the time I did was the best decision I ever made in my life. In fact, given the same scenario and even if I am 52 and my salary was #2million per month, I will still leave Nigeria.

The first 2 months was very difficult. The mistake I made was my insistence on getting accounting job. I did over 60 applications and all of them were rejected. I have no Australian experience neither do I have Australian certification.

My wifey was indeed an angle in human form. She provided the needed support. She shouldered all the financial responsibilities all by herself. This is the part that almost pushed me into depression. As an Igboman, we consider it a taboo for our women to feed, house and cloth us.

After two months, I decided it was time to re-strategize. I enrolled for a forklift training and within two week, I obtained my forklift license.
Not satisfied with that, I took some courses and did some checks that will qualify me to go into disability support work. I obtained First aid certificate, Diploma in mental health, certificate in infection prevention and control, certificate in care for the aged and disabled, police check, working with children checks, NDIS worker check, NDIS orientation certificate and many more.

I started applying for warehouse jobs. In fact, I had to reject a lot of them. I settled for one of the warehouses and it has been awesome working for the organization.

I have not gotten what I am looking for yet. I am using the warehouse to keep body and soul together. In the warehouse where I work, you will see people of different ages. from 18 years to 65 years working and making a good living. in Australia, there is always something to do.

The only thing I miss, is the big man mentality we have in Nigeria. Where I will sit in my office, call one of my staff in intercom and ask for a cup of coffee; and it will be brought to me in seconds. You can't try that rubbish here.

The level of security here is top notch. I have no fear, i move about anytime of the day/night.

After one week in Australia, I concluded that Nigeria is a completely lawless country and an animal jungle. Here everything is ordered. I am yet to hear a driver blow his car horn while driving. There are no touts, there are no omoniles. Electricity has never blinked for one second. water is constant, gas is there. I have never seen two persons fighting in the street. I have never seen a mad man or woman on the road or street beggars. The air we breath here is different from the air we breath in Nigeria.

It was in Australia that I realized that the saying in Nigeria that Nigerian police is your friend is actually true. Break the law in Nigeria and police catches you, just give them #2,000 you are off the hook. And the circle of lawlessness continues. Here, it is a different ball game. Proposing bribe will be used as evidence against you. It doesn't matter who you are. Every one is civil.

While in Nigeria I suffered malaria every month. There is no month I don't treat malaria. Since I got to this country, I have never had headache let alone malaria.

Children are doing wonderfully well at school and are already speaking through their nose.

In conclusion, I made the best choice. Even though I have not really found the kind of job I want to do, the little I am doing now contributes in paying bills and I have savings more than my monthly gross per month in Nigeria.

If you are above 45 years and have your partner already in this country, and you are an employee of a company, it is in your best interest to leave Nigeria. Provided, of course, that you are healthy and you are not lazy.

One dark side to moving abroad is that you have more chances of being divorced by your wife. This is a story for another day as I have gathered enough reason on why families divorce and will create a thread on this someday.


I am open to any question you may have.
Thank god for tech, we dont need to go thru wahala! My best decision in life was switching to tech two years ago. We can even live in Namibia, SA, UK, US, Nigeria, anywhere and be fine.
I no get energy to do all these stresss when una dey do! I wish u all the best. My guy wey dey UK dey do Night shift. Lol, god forbid! Nigeria is bad shaa, but omo, there are things I cant do.

I don't understand, you mean Putin is deliberately prolonging this war that has killed thousands of Russian soldiers.


Russia isn't fighting like world power, if they truly are
Hahaha. They have occupied 20 Percent of Ukrainian lands and all the efforts made by the west plus sanction has not worked.
It is not easy to fight a war under sanction. Not even US can survive it easily. Russia is strong and I respect them more now.
U know, the US thought that they could ginger the enter world to blacklist Russia and sideline her which would have crippled the country to submission but that didn't work.
With all the intelligence supplied to Ukrain by western forces who are many in number, nothing is bigger than intelligence during war.
Russia still stood their ground and control 20 Percent of Ukrainian. that is superb.
As for losing soldiers, yes even with US and UK forced put together in Afghanistan, they lost forces too. Not to talk of one country fighting another who is supported by many powerful countries.
Only Russia na men.
Imagine 30 countries having sleepless nights over one country. Give Russia their flowers. They have refused to how to US led monopoly and I give it to them.

The people u abuse wanted to leave Nigeria in 1967, ur region fought them to stay back! U refused and formed a centralized system, that is why some of them are in ur region becus of Lagos.

Your hit song may not be hit song in other regions. Nigeria is large.
The guys I mentioned have great songs that we vibed too.
Na only Una know wetin some of u gain here by ways dragging Ur selves..pls Una matter tire me here abeg.
I personally don't even like many of the so called south west musicians. For instance, Davido sings nonsense.
In award matter, a lot of factors are involved such as connection and PR. That doesn't make u a better musician.
Kizz Daniel sings better than Davido but has not won the so called Grammy. Tiwa is a great singer but has no Grammy.
Pls make Una park well with this Grammy thing.
The guys I mentioned took Nigeria music to the next level that paced way for what we have today. same as nollywood that was why we had some yorubas act in Igbo themed movies such as Olu jacobs.
Pls give Igbos their flowers and make Una stop this craps. I don't know what Igbos and yorubas do each other shaa.

Sit in your Mkpummiri joint and be typing rubbish instead of you to go and learn Yoruba.
Fvck off with Grammy. Which Grammy? What is my business with an award owned by the US? Does kizz Daniels is a better musician than Davido with hit songs that has gone all over the country, has he won Grammy? Tiwa sings so well, has she won Grammy?
Abeg make Una rest with this yeye Grammy. I'm tired of some of u here.
Igbos chest beat, Una come for them that they chest beat, but u guys are free to chest beat every time ?

In Naija music, if you don't understand Yoruba language, you can never enter top 5. Never.
oga shut da fvck, Kcee rained in his time and bagged many awards. He is a boss to still make songs that trends globally till date. He has been on this for over 10 years. Not too many musicians can remain relevant for that long. So chill
At one time, it was dominated by the Igbos with the likes of Flavor songs hitting all over the country, Psquare heating all over the country, Phyno even been played in the north, Tecko hitting the airwaves, RunTown rulling the continent, Don Jazzy, and the list goes on. The igbos also ruled the movie and music industry few years back. It is the turn of the Yorubas, enjoy. No body wins for ever, na turn by turn.

If the police lost personnel to killers still at large - and in 'retaliation' they burnt down an entire village - Nigerians (to the last man) would condemn it. But when the army does it - somehow its ok. undecided

The army lost several of its personnel in this attack under circumstances that are still very unclear. Instead of a proper investigation (like its done elsewhere) the next step is burning and wanton destruction. undecided And some Nigerians are ok with it.

When someone said years ago that the number of normal people in Nigeria is less than 7, we all had a good laugh. But behind the laughter, there is a sober reality. There are far too many of us who are not normal. Those who are normal should (for their own safety) very carefully assess and review their ineractions with their countrymen. Their lives literally depend on it.
Honestly, I dont know why Nigerians love and appreciate military brutality. This action happens a lot and we kinda have accepted it as normal. Our military behave like they are above the law.

But where was the Nigerian police?

How come the police weren't called upon first?

There's no reported case of external aggression, so why was the military the first to get there instead of the police?

Is the Nigerian military now trained to settle community issues? 

No one is asking these pertinent questions.

While we condemn these acts, this could have been avoided. 

Our military is now getting too involved in acts that are under the purview of the Nigerian police force.
Nigeria is a failed country na grin
It is a total failure with no shame. The country has no single sector working

Nigeria is a disgrace to humanity. Nigeria has not been able to get anything right for the past 60 years. Over populated with humans who have low IQ. Nigeria is the most useless place to live. I have never seen such a failed entity that keeps fighting her own citizens. No one kills Nigerians more than Nigerians. Nigerians are not at war with external factors but with internal factors.
Politicians keep looting the country and the security arms keep killing everyone.
Soldiers in Nigeria behave like this. They have done this in south east and south south a lot. Such a useless and painful country that UK created. This is why I dislike that country called UK and wish her downfall. I wish UK will fall becus of creating a country like Nigeria which has became a human disaster.
Each day I live here, I am scared. If u dont die by kidnappers, u die by security men. I mean, some people killed ur soldiers, ur acclaimed world best soldiers, that wasnt shameful enough. U could have proven to be tactical by conducting proper investigation and capture who did that and take them to court as the law demand. When a high profile police man was killed, Police didnt go to the community to burn it down and kill everyone, they rather did investigation and captured the cultist behind it and he was killed. But soldiers are so shameless, they do this like local cult group.
The greatest pain god ever did to me was making me a Nigerian. Even Ghana is far better. Omo, we die like chickens here. Dam!

We cant access many services abroad from Nigeria while as South AFricans, Ghannians, etc can access such services too. It is becus we are known for crime. Fraud is crime too.
It is due to unemployment and underemployment that leads to such crime. At that same office I worked, two guys were caught doing fraud and linked to bank staff. It was even published on national daily. The day efcc came to carry them, they were working at the office. Lol

Buh someone without any Job can he ever have any hope talkless of thinking of Japa....
No body used underemployment to japa. I was underpaid as a graduate in a customer care job where i was paid 35k per month. How on earth will I use 35k per month to save to japa? Or what on earth will 35k per month do for me. This was 4 years ago and that companies had many many graduates and even masters holders there. This is the story of Nigerians bro.
We always love to lie to our selves, it is why we have nothing working here.
I had to quit after one year to go and hustle on my own as a software developer. Till date, many graduates earn 45k in Nigeria. U cant save up to japa with such.

Faiththatworks:
I'm sure the people writing this article don't have a binance account,they just come online and report fabricated stories to scare people.
I bought usdt now on binance just to test if there's any ban on purchase and I sold some usdt on Monday without any issues.
I repeat what I wrote earlier today, binance is one of the major manipulators and speculators of our Currency,the Naira.
The rate at which they manipulate prices on that exchange is criminal,infact they are worse than the BDC.
Like someone wrote on a comment I made, yesterday it was 1700 to 1$ usdt,today it's near 1800 and I'm sure tomorrow it will be 1900.
I ask again,which economic activities are they doing that allows the exchange manipulate the Naira so blatantly,it's economic Terrorism.
Let binance show Nigerians the economic indices,the Algorithm,and the individuals in the Binance Economic Team that determine the daily value of the Naira to any crypto.
It's very very absurd for any entity to have the right to just wake up every day and assign a value to the Nigerian currency without having any methodology known to Government.
I believe that's what is called speculation.
Binance is very useful to me but I will never ever encourage the daily speculation going on in that exchange.
Binance must subject itself to some form of government regulation if it wants to continue operations In Nigeria,infact like I said earlier it must fix it's crypto value to the daily exchange rate release by the CBN,not the crazy bureau de change operators.
This is time to take patriotism over profit.
God bless my country Nigeria........
I thought Nigeria floated Naira, so the market force can determine the true value. If people dont rush to buy dollar with naira, naira will gain strength.
The problem is that the number of people seeking to purchase dollar is high, from those seeking medicals abroad to those seeking to travel abroad, to those paying school fee abroad, to those importing items abroad. The list goes on and this is in millions of naira.
To strength our naira, we must fix our educational system to reduce the number of nigerians running abroad for education, we must fix our health care to reduce medical tourism, we must fix the rat at which Nigerians dey japa. If these arent fixed, nothing will make naira gain strength. binance operate in many countries, no one comes to decide the price of trades than the market forces of demand and supply.

I want to start by commending our House of Reps for taking the bull by the horn,Democracy is a responsive type of government,the government listens to the people and act based on the feedback
The people have been clamouring for state police,the State Governors are just figureheads and can't act to defend their people
States where bandits, kidnappers and ritualists are having a field day will begin to know that the people are ready to defend their terroritites using what is available to them
I am not saying that everything will be perfect but this is one step in the right direction,all policing is local and nothing stops states from having inter state exchange of personnel and intelligence
Our police force is already stretched thin,and the truth is locals don't trust the police to defend them

I encourage the House of Reps to go the whole hog and look at the structure of financing in present day Nigeria,the Federal Government collects too much money and as far as I am concerned do very little
Let the people's house look at reducing the funds at the central and give more money to the Local Governments,this are the closest governments to the people and they must begin to act as the Engine room for reforms and Economic growths
If we get it right at the Local Governments,we will begin to see wealth at lower end of the pyramid and remove more people from endemic poverty
I have said it before that the federal govt is useless to Nigerians. Collects a lot of money while the state which is closer to the people have little or nothing to work. Completely decentralize Nigeria and see Nigeria work. Infact, make regions run their own league and invite other states to particpate, there will be mad competition and Nigerians will enjoy.

There is nothing like economy hardship, it's we people that need to live up to standards.

Tinubu won't borrow money from IMF to feed anybody ass or to run government.

He would generate the money to build our requiref infrastructure internally.

Even tho, I'm very sure Tinubu will increase the minimum wage soon because there are already some negotiations about it.
Can Tinubu cut down on his own cost? I mean, my tax even when I work for foriegn clients are collected and sent to Nigeria govt. So, Tinubu and his family live on my tax. Can they cut down their own expenses so that all of us go suffer the suffer ?
Politics › Re: Are You Still Batified? by Princedapace(m): 7:45pm On Feb 18, 2024
emkz:
Yes.

For many years, we have been living in a bubble. We subsidized the consumption by the rich. Our refineries have not been producing. There was pervasive insecurity. Oil theft was rife. Chinese were stealing from us. We started handing out dollars to people for reasons that don't make sense. The subsidy was consistently being abused by people who claimed it and still took the products across the borders. Local fuel consumption was inflated. There were no investments in critical infrastructure. Questionable billionaires emerged following the start of the 4th republic. The bought banks and no one knows the source of their incomes. Industries completely collapsed and religion became rife.

Infact, we started borrowing to pay salaries and subsidies. People like Professor Usman Yusuf in NHIS used their positions to rob the nation. Today, they are sudden moralists for a better Nigeria.

What Tinubu is doing is an attempt to refocus things so that the pains will not be even more in the future. Tinubu demonstrates the boldness many before him lacked. We can see some improvements in certain areas. For example, after the kidnap of the Nabeeha family and the killing of Nabeeha herself, we can see how Wike and Co swung into action and have arrested the masterminds. Our military chiefs are not talking too much and are doing the job.

I recall when they started partitioning roads in Lagos for BRT. As soon as the buses were rolled out, no one criticized Tinubu again. So the suffering we are currently facing are pains that will pass.

We only call on Tinubu to go after the sponsors of terrorism, banditry and rogue businessmen inflating prices. We also call on governors to show workings. It is evil for PDP governors to be attacking the president when they should be worried and working harder for their people.

As a people, let us put the same pressure on the governors, representatives and senators as we put on the president.

If the elections hold again, I'd still throw my weight behind Tinubu. Atiku had his time, and he had nothing to show for it beyond plundering national assets to cronies. He is one of the architects of the current mess and should take responsibility. He also lacks understanding of presidential processes. Peter Obi is just a revolt against the status quo and people conveniently forgot he was a governor as well and Anambra did not improve.

Any sincere Nigerian would make suggestions to help the nation.
Omo, Nigerians o. I just read ur context, I will never assist any one who ask me for money again, obviously, Nigerians are never ready.

When people say there is enjoyment in nigeria, it's about the communality, food, being the default, lack of civic responsibilitiee, and "freedom in chaos" such as hook up, bribery, abusing others ( eg sales girl, house boy) etc

Apart from these, I don't know exactly how Nigeria is fun. If one have adapted to their new home, it's far better fun than what's obtainable in naija

How can you enjoy a place with no light, dirty beaches that's not free, no free museum, architecture, library, etc?

And a preventable situation such as bad roads, dumb police officers and bad medical care can kill you in an instant?

Also, your money can only go far in a functioning society. It takes me about 20euros to fly from Amsterdam to the Spanish islands in Africa (Gran Canaria) , but can same amount take you from Lagos to Abuja by flight?

If I dump you in the desert with a million usd suitcase, your money becomee useless, just because the desert can't convert your cash to value.

It's the same thing with being wealthy in Nigeria. Hopefully the drugs you bought for headache is not fake. Imagine paying for your death.

So no, there is no enjoyment in a dysfunctional system. Just that human natures will adapt to bad situations and create fun in it. Just as the kids in the ghetto are having fun, but it's not good life.
Everyone can not leave Nigeria, if everyone leaves even u out there in Spain would be in danger. So, leave people for what they wish to term enjoyment.
Just as u are moving away to Europe, I can count how many Black Americans that I know who have moved to Ghana to live fulltime. The same Ghana we all will reject in jesus name to relocate to.
Everyone have their own peace as they describe it.
I for once would gladly relocate to Ghana than living in Spain.
I mean, the US company that I work for, has helped many move to Ghana and I speak with some of them and they are so happy with their choice.
My point is, everyoen can not relocate to Europe which is what many here tag as the real abroad. I earn in $ and I am okay here, I have solar installed and I am okay the way it is becus what I may tag enjoyment may not be what u may tag enjoyment. Flying up and down with flight is not my thing, neighther is going from one museum to the other my thing. So, humans are different. For me, the only thing I really dont like in Nigeria is healthcare. Aside that, I can cope with every other thing becus life it self is vanity in the first place.

APC has nothing to offer Nigerians. All their struggles to grab power from PDP then was simply to devour our common wealth and feast on it. They don't care about the masses or their reactions. When PDP was in power, how much was a dollar, how much was a kg of gas etc ? I pray that God will continue to provide for all the people who did not vote for this calamity of a government.
What people dont understand is that Buhari finished Nigeria. He was so tribalistic that he rated his tribe's interest against the interest of Nigeria. Tinubu inherited a finished Nigeria. Most of the security issues we have got worse under Buhari simply due to tribalism. Omo, to fix Nigeria now go need miracle. Tinubu seems to continue with the tribalism stunt grin
