If you have the money move to the UK. English is the official language over there and it will be easy for you to get along than here. Although, I could say 95% of Swedes speak English but the expect you to speak Swedish. Please am not a “Sir” Nigerian and their entitlements �
Hi, a friend forwarded this post to me. If your main purpose of coming to uk is to school then find work ..I advice you look else where ...but if you plan on schooling and going back to your country please feel absolutely free to come. Due to brexit things have become ANTI MIGRANT. Please I'm not discouraging you can still find a job after school but as at now I advise you have a plan B. If you have a lot of money and can stay without a job please feel free. As at now people are being laid off from work..only those who work in selected occupations have assurance of their jobs. Nevertheless destinies are different, you can find favour. Just doing my part as a Human.Have a nice day

You are still blabbing,what is the population of those with good job in europe/america? what is the definition of your good job?
How many of you walked straight into a 6 figure salary?
I repeat so many people will not fork over $100k for one worthless citizenship, including you that you are blabbing,if you have that $100k cash in your account you can as well head back home to reinvest that money instead of using it to pay mortgage and what have you.
The problem with most of you is that you think everyone is foolish,you come here to justify what is not practicable,you come online to project what you are not.

I am interested in knowing your profession and how much you earn per hour,your years of living abroad,the location of those 3 properties and i will find you out.

I can tell that you are just a wannabe BRITISH-NIGERIAN,a true British-Nigerian will never see senses in all you put together,Do you know how difficult it is to put £10k as savings? the same set of Brit-nig that knows how difficult never encourage anyone to put hundreds of thousands of life changing dollar's to go buy a worthless citizenship.
i have guy's with British, American and EU passports,these are guy's that have spent 20yrs minimum abroad,they are tired,they want to come home and invest their little savings on viable business that can give them a higher return's,most of them are not even finish building their homes, these are guy's who have been away for at least 2 decades.


You are talking about fulfilment,which fulfilment? a guy who can fork out such an amount has unrestricted travel to virtually all the travel destinations of this world,even with their Naija passport,some of them even have a resident of other top european or North American States,
some of you go just come here dey open mouth dey yawn rubbish.
Na so one idiot claimed to be an engineer here until i burst his bubble and told him he's a cash mule.
Nairaland na leveler, everyone get opinion but don't come here and start talking rubbish, people like us will find you out.
Like I said you judge based on the majority.. I also said I'm very comfortable here...the experience is different for everyone most people that migrate to other countries mostly do school and find it hard but I got a job in the uk, got married and I'm very very comfortable so please dont compare me with the people you know. If the op has enough it is his/her choice. I'm honestly tired arguing with an ignorant, single-minded person. Have a good day. Ask your friends or people you know in other countries if they had a good paying job in a top position if they would want to go back to Nigeria. Like I said you are ignorant the fact people say uk is hard or life is not easy dosent mean its everyone. I'm not trying to brag or anything I'm just saying dont judge people based on the majority. You yourself said it if someone was living like a king in Nigeria why would he want to leave.. if someone was very comfortable in the uk why would he want to leave unless he had other personal reasons. I for one dont have any reason to leave but someone else with much wealth here might decide to leave. Please before you judge people or compare them learn first. I said it in a previous reply 'I am not rich ...very comfortable yes[ like a middle class upper] and yes i can easily fork out 10k ..dont compare every Nigerian abroad to the ones you know or the ones that are still struggling to find foot. Oh and yes I have completed houses (3) in total. When you come to understand there are different people with different mentalities in this world you wouldn't make silly arguments like this... you would understand people better..as someone who travels a lot you'll eventually come to understand.

Keep living in denial,money is not everything,yet you want to buy a passport of one worthless island for hundreds of thousands of dollars,if money is not the problem then you are a criminal.
is either you are a criminal looking to evade justice or you are moving for economic reason.
It is only a mad man that will be jostling to leave his country when he's not in hardships,i repeat how many of these rich people go die put for one useless country wey no get name?
people wey dey enter better country still wan land Naija for holidays when everything is settled.



Palestinian who suffer heavy bombardments on a daily basis who can use that act to claim a refugee status elsewhere are even staying back.
i have heard over use of that language that "not everyone that is leaving Nigeria is leaving because of money" tell us why you are leaving ooo mr Man,all yah mate's that lied it's because of their children are held up abroad now,some of them don get papers, children grown and settled yet refuses to come.
Make u dey hide behind a finger
I am not the one who said I wanted to buy a citizenship
..I only said someone who is willing to bring that amount of money obviously has more. I never said I was interested in buying a citizenship as I am already a Brit-Nigerian. You obviously are ignorant and dont even know what you are talking about..I never said i was wealthy..very comfortable yes, please before you type think properly and go back to the first comment I made here. I have met people who are wealthy but still not fulfilled in Nigeria.. please I advise you think properly before you talk or message someone. Your reply has only proved how ignorant you are. Like I said money isn't everything..there are other things that are missing in this country, although no country is perfect people have other reasons to migrate. You judge based on the majority which is a sickening attribute of a narrow minded person. Most people who are wealthy in Nigeria has something that ties them here..their booming business might be in Nigeria and may not excel in a foreign country or may take time to gather clients in a foreign country, the person may be in a governmental position with good pay and cannot leave because his money is tied to a job in Nigeria, there are other things as well. Like I said money isn't everything, please try to open your mind to different possibilities and stop being a narrow minded human being. I do agree that some people are ignorant and just want to leave the country to a country that isn't worth it but dont just judge people. You might have mistaken me for the person who asked the question..I only replied you I am not the op. Try to reason like someone who is capable of thinking.
I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK.

@Santos02, thanks so much for taking your time to advise, all points are noted. Since NZ borders is even still closed, I think I may be looking at considering other options. What is the tution for international student like in Japan ??
Sorry for the late reply.. I honestly dont really know much about schools here but
1) It depends on where in japan you are planning to study (I'm only here till probably next month) but I know a lot of schools are very good here.... I currently stay in fukuoka . Tuition ranges from about 4000 usd[ about 1.6 milla to over 8000usd[over 3milla].
2)learning the language can be difficult but they are schools that have courses in English for both Bachelors and Masters. You can use MEXT scholarships[ I know about 3 people who got the schorlaship from Nigeria..I dont know if you have to go to Abuja sha] The schorlaship makes the Visa process easier. As at now the border restrictions are very tight [I'm supposed to be in uk now]. Just do your research if they issue student visas.[https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.edarabia.com/universities/fukuoka/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjmw-3O8dfwAhXAA2MBHUEaC1EQFjAKegQIBRAB&usg=AOvVaw3lw7NljU479Iiual7toMM4] the link is for schools in fukuoka but you could check schools in other places tho.

Have you ever asked yourself how many people have legitimate $1million to plough into buying a citizenship of one worthless nation?
If you could work and stack up $1m from this "barren land" you are obviously living like a king already,2nd citizenship of another country won't make any difference in your life.
Examples are bound in this nation and beyond,but to majority of you who have never stacked up ₦100k at a go you always feel such an amount of money is nothing when buying a foreign citizenship.

The depth of your thinking is still at it's lowest depth,no apology
You obviously didn't read what I wrote earlier..like I said not everyone wants to leave the country because of money, people have different reasons although majority is to find a better life..some even say a foreign passport has a lot of opportunities. It is clear now that you are one of those who think money is everything..yes one can make a lot of money in Nigeria and live mike a king but not everyone that wants to leave this country does it for money. You judge people based on the majority which is very wrong..when you come to meet different people in life you will understand money is everything.
Before you reply someone you dont know, think from another angle to get the person's point of view.Money isn't everything.

Having enough to relocate is one thing, replenishing where it comes from is another,which is what that comment is all about.
No be to just reply comment, think deeply,embrace logic before you reply
Anyone who obviously has that amount of money legally will surely have a legal and right source of income. Not everyone talks before they think.. not everyone is in a financial crisis.. some people have the money and a good source of income but just want to leave the country.

Thanks for the reply and advice @Ticha, highly appreciated. Can you give me your E-mail so I can send the visa for you to peruse.

Also how can I apply for NZ jobs by myself from Nigeria here? Is there any dedicated website/link for that ?
As for jobs website I recommend LinkedIn.

Hi..I don't mean to sound discouraging but I wouldn't advise NZ, fine I understand everyone wants to leave Nigeria because of the situation right now but have you considered where you want to move to...I believe you probably hope to settle there with a job but have you considered?
1) Newzealand is beautiful..far away but still has a lot to offer [ I have met different people who just want to leave this country to find greener pastures but until you travel abroad you will understand life is not as sweet as it seems]..opting for a job is good as you will have something to land on but do not forget before you can be given a job you must have an exceptional quality that would make a company want to employ you..[note that you are not the only one applying and they would want to consider their citizens or people of less burden first]
What do I mean by people of less burden?... As you will be looking for a job and would need visa sponsorship ..in that case the company would have to wait for about 2months or less for the visa process and some companies would pay for your flight and other expenses incurred in bringing you over[instead of them going through all that they would prefer someone that wouldn't give them much stress..., but like i said earlier if you have what it takes you have absolutely NO PROBLEM]
2) Newzealand is ranked No 1 by WHO for high skin cancer rate due to where it's located. [ however this does not imply that you will have skin cancer it just states the country is more prone]
3) High cost of living( especially for most imported goods)
4) Culture and other personal factors determine[ I love koreans and their culture..although I had never been to korea at that time I told myself I would learn and integrate very well...when I did travel I became sick and couldn't eat most of the food but I later adapted over time] my point is prepare to be shocked culturally and personally...( you will eventually become used to it)
5) HIGH number of earthquakes( most times it depends on where you are residing) you should find out where you are applying for a job[ you dont want to settle in and have everything destroyed by earthquakes]
6) I don't know about active volcanoes but just do your research.
7) It can get boring...[ I am british Nigerian and has travelled a lot... because I have explored a lot Newzealand was boring for me but coming from Nigeria you might be fine. Most people come to Newzealand to rest or vacation but I tell you it is beautiful and worth it.
I am not trying to discourage you or anything..when I first left Nigeria to Canada I had so many expectations but it was all ruined for me[ Everyone has different experiences] I had to come back to Nigeria with Nothing, I had spent all I had on Canada and regretted it...eventually I went to uk and lived for 7 years before becoming a citizen and now with my passport I can travel to some countries visa free. I am only telling you so you dont put all your hope into this and get disappointed at the end..please still carry on with your dream but dont put all your egg in one basket.. Also check on the covid measures on who they currently allow enter the country. I am currently in Japan but if you need any help feel free to ask. Like I said the process is different for everyone the fact my first experience was bad doesn't mean yours will ..I just want you to be absolutely sure.

Someone forking out $150k for citizenship will most probably buy a house not less than $200k to live in,how about furnishings of such?
Will he/she be living on a cheap diet of $5 Burger king meal?
Most of you talking here don't even know that relocation is highly expensive,it is even costlier for people like that because they won't drop their standard.
Averagely someone in that region will require about $500k to settle fuly into such an environment.
Do not forget that they have to keep paying taxes on those properties and some other luxury item's.
Where will the money to keep up with such an expensive lifestyle comes from?
it means you have to look for something you can invest on that will bring you a humongous profit to be on track as they Can't do all these shitty job's people do to survive
someone willing to drop that amount of money will obviously have more than enough to relocate.
