if abroad tire you, come back. allow people leave and also give their own advice in 20 years time. u no even make sense for ur epistle, over sabi okuta007: I have lived in the US for 20+ years BUT knowing what I know today - If I have $13,000 (which is the equivalent of N10 million) cash at hand in Nigeria and I have never travelled before I will not waste $1 of that money jappa-ing anywhere. While you are planning to waste that money to travel to a place you absolutely know nothing about other than just the 2 minute video skits u see on social media and movies - it will interest you to note that some Americans or Europeans are looking for ways to come and live in Nigeria ESPECIALLY Nigerians who jappa decades ago but who do not have the money you have right now as savings and only wish they can return home and explore opportunities to make more money and spend less on bills. Bro, the variety and choices you have in naija of everything that makes life worth exciting and happy apart from money is not there abroad ooo - you will deal with cultural shock, racism, feminism, (bro no lady in the west is subservient like naija woman back home oo- before you talk 1 dem don talk 7), unending bills, difficulty in saving as things are damn expensive (you do not earn dollars abroad and spend naira oooo , na the dollar u go spend ooo and in plenty quantity) abroad nobody send you ooo, no one has your time to come sit with you and gist oo, everyone is always on the go, AND those you left back home who are your friends right now and even family members urging you to jappa will soon become your enemies when you tell them the reality of life overseas, as you are probably not believing me now, then they wont believe you too and they will mark you down as enemy of progress - and IF you leave any babe behind planning to come marry her later when you settle down, just forget about it - time and distance will tear that relationship apart and when you finally get your papers, she would have moved on to be someone else's wife and having at least 3 kids (because she cant wait, her family and society will pressure her not to waste her life that menopause was knocking - they will recruit her pastor to talk sense into her and soon she will yield) and then you will start searching for love as an abroad returnee and you will discover that every lady just wants to use you to jappa because they already have someone they see everyday in Nigeria who they really love - And after a while - you may toy with the idea of marrying a western lady who will make you look like a glorified house boy in your own house. IF you are married now nko? leaving your wife behind for some years before coming to her means exposing her to serious nacking by other men which may end up ending the marriage and make it loveless - is that what you want? jappa at the cost of ruining the sweet bond of matrimony which no amount of money in the world can guarantee you ? IF you jappa with your wife and kids, the suffer no be here ooo and it makes settling down very difficult - because you no fit leave ya wife go be with another - so think very carefully - all those mentioning masters - having masters abroad does not guaranty you papers oo - if it does, not people with masters from American Universities working as under table servers in restaurants or afro shop as undocumented workers earning peanuts will be CEO's by now at Silicon Valley - without papers, your masters is like buying building materials with no land to build your house ---hmmmm LET ME STOP - be careful with that money, enuf said!!!  |
