It could happen and is happening in Nigeria. The simple thing is that no matter how well you think you're preparing your children for life, you can't choose anything for them in the end.

If you're migrating it's because you personally want more money or whatever it is you're looking for. Your unborn children don't really care, because they aren't born, and because even if you birthed them in a hostel or gilded palace, they will still find their way around life in their own way.

Life is not hard in..
Canada
Switzerland
Singapore
Japan
Luxermbourg
Qatar

I could go on but I’m sure you get the drift.

This form of deception is so annoying, I wish I could insult you. Sometimes I wish I had a gutter filled mouth, you deserve some real insults for this trash you just wrote.

Nigeria is not just a shithole. A shithole seems like heaven compared to this place.

Zahra29:
Migrants are not entitled to child benefit or any public benefits such as housing support. Healthcare is free at the point of use, but you pay taxes into the system and migrants pay a health surcharge on top of this

jesmond3945:
that average wage is allowance more like pocket money. The average british man gets free health, free school for his kids, he gets child benefits, he gets support for a house or a car, he gets universal credit, he gets support to travel. So all these to that salary you will know a brittish man is balling. When you see a british man complain is in their nature, they are very entiltled.

Gerrard59:
If he is above 35, no point in doing so. Rather, he should save and invest to send his children to some of the best universities in countries where attaining citizenship is relatively easy. Countries such as Canada, Australia and many others.

sihamey:
Ask him how much he spend in UK and how much left . Don’t be deceived by social media pictures of your class mate abroad

jesmond3945:
let me tell you why. Oyibo is a leveller. You enjoy 24hrs light, 24hrs water, 24hrs internet, snow, fireworks, train rides, skydiving, good roads, maximum security, no mosquito, no generator fumes, free school fees and meals, playground for your kids, a lot of parks, a lot of food, international culture, AC standard weather. Whether you are a cleaner, security or you dey pack shit you would enjoy the same thing a ceo in a company is enjoying. Many people in Nigeria will not experience one quater of these things in their lifetime. So when people in abroad complain na these things dey keep them there.

Kingsley10000:
My class mate, a nurse was earning 35k before the pandemic.
He is in Uk now living a good life. The guy is looking transformed

Gerrard59:
What is an economic crisis to westerners is not the same to black Africans. Notwithstanding the economic woes, there are more jobs advertised on UK's LinkedIn than Nigeria's own. Apart from Nigeria and South Africa, I seriously doubt you would see recent jobs in other sub-Saharan African LinkedIns (assuming they it o). Ethiopia, some people were applauding, does not have one. In Bostwana, the most recent job posting is three weeks old. African countries populate the world's unemployment rankings.

Who is the man of the house... Wait your wife is telling you to leave your law firm that you are doing well to come over! I don't get it!

You have a law firm doing fantastically well in Nigeria.. Paying lawyers and having great briefs and you want to close shop to live in UK. That will be the GREATEST REGRET of your life! Trust me!

Many in UK especially Kent, Peckham and some other places will pray to exchange positions with you. That is why folks like Tiwa Savage, Dbanj, Don Jazzy, NAIRA MARLEY NETO C and others left their places and came back today they are doing well.

My brother never make that mistake! If you can take that risk so be it unless it's the wife that is feeding you or paying the bills.

Tell her to come home...Nurses are making good money here also... They don't look for jobs but that is not the point. You can be visiting and coming back but to close down a thriving law firm for an unkwown life in UK of all places is a big NO NO for me.

ayandee:
Since his wife is a nurse in the UK, that means he could work in the UK. He should continue his practice here in Nigeria, write the UK bar exams and get licensed to practice in the UK as well. So He practices in both countries. I know a SAN who practices both in Nigeria and Canada.

Munamoqel:
no way. Aspire to be in like of Ricky tafa and other senior Nigeria lawyers you can see fayose is owing 900m in legal fees . All this election tribunals. You can join care home abi .

ariesbull:
that is why they go on dreads... They can't afford to barb.. So dread are cheaper

Karlovych:
Not everyone is doing shitty jobs abroad.

Karlovych:
Don't mind these depressed people, the same ones that don't get adequate sleep and wake up by 3:00am in Lagos just to beat traffic to get to their depressing work and spend a large amount of productive hours in traffic are here preaching about rat race.

hotwax:
Yes because I don't support your tinubu, I am now Igbo. Yeeeeee...it's official. Millions of yorubas not supporting have now changed their tribe to Igbo.

I guess it was Igbos that voted for adeleke in Osun...lolz... Alainironu Ara galatia

hotwax:
We..you can't be we.

semmyk:
To avoid more problems for the family, let the family be guided by evidence-based decisions
From Sept 2021, there's been some changes to the pathway to getting qualified. That doesn't mean there are no challenges.
SQE 1 and SQE 2 (written) can now be taken at test center 'abroad' (outside of the UK). See the link on the Lawsociety webpage where it says ... Find your nearest test centre on the Pearson website
If the test centers in Nigeria (or Ghana or Cameroon) are no longer working, let them raise it with the UK Lawsociety.
NB: the costs are not pocket friendly!
Let the family read the provisions of the legal body and inquire from legal associations.
In my view, if SQE 1 and SQE 2 (written) are done before hitting the UK, it
1. Reduces the barrier
2. Should reduce the stress
3. Should make it even easier to take on non-Solicitors roles (such as those in the corporate)
4. Reduce the time to getting fully qualified. NB: SQE 2 (oral) must be done when he gets to the UK.
All the best.
PS: there's hidden gem in koonbey statement: ... "There's a reason why partner-level lawyers from tier 1 firms are leaving to posts abroad." Let 'em ponder on it. In any case, let 'em move for a reason and not any reason.
NB: koonbey is right that ... it's not 'easy' by any means.
NB: alongside the three (well articulated) options, there's a latch-on 4th option: starting from 9ja

koonbey:
SQE cannot be sat for in Nigeria.

Plus, it's not 'easy' by any means. It can be done in about a year plus but it's intense and the person has to be ready to study as if he was back in law School (lawyers will understand). @Sokeril, there are three options:

1. Come to the UK, prepare and write the SQE to qualify as a solicitor and then apply to work as a lawyer.

2. Apply directly to firms as a foreign-qualified lawyer. Many firms recruit Nigerian practitioners since we share the same system of law and they often have cross-border transactions that involve Nigeria. This will only work if he has solid transactional experience in a highly in-demand area of practise - finance/power/construction/tech etc., not stuff like criminal defense, divorce or petty practice generally.

3. Plan to work in roles that are legal but not directly practising as a lawyer as in going to court - so that's things like compliance, data protection, Intellectual property etc. This is the most straightforward and what I would recommend. While doing this he can then decide if he wants to shoot for a law firm using one of the other routes.

As to whether he should or should not, it depends on what his expertise is. If he's doing petty stuff like police station work and CAC registrations, then he'll find it more difficult. If he has solid, internationally-marketable experience though, he should definitely move. His skills will be valued and rewarded much much more financially and otherwise. There's a reason why partner-level lawyers from tier 1 firms are leaving to posts abroad.

Overall though, he would probably be much better off abroad. I don't know his exact status in Naija but unless he's working for a tier 1, it's unlikely that he's earning anything close to what he would be earning in the UK (full-time as a dependent) even if he has to take a junior role to start with, even when adjusted for living expenses. I would say he should just bite the bullet and travel - worst case scenario is he doesn't like it and he goes back.

bigtt76:
Travel visa free to UK, work unlimited hours per week, set up company in the UK etc and at the end, he and family can apply to be UK citizens

bigtt76:
He should take up the offer so he can be dependent to his wife and enjoy the benefits till the get the indefinite leave to remain. If not, he will have to be applying for visitor's visa even if his wife gets the ILR

humblemoi:
If only you had been on this thread a little longer, you'd know better than to quote that alias.

But to each his/her own.

Munamoqel:
the wind is already blowing in japa hq the original people the uk was built for are prostesting high inflation and cost of living . Japarains from Nijia are selling their properties and resigning from their plum jobs and japing straight into this economic crisis . Most Japarains are just following bandwagon effect of been sold a dummy by the UK and educational agent .

capnies:
EVERY MARRIED MAN SHOULD ADOPT A METHOD I CALL {LISTEN BUT DON'T HEAR]

IT WALKS VERY WELL FOR EVERY MARRIED MAN, NOT NECESSARILY FOR INSULTS; MOST WOMEN DON'T INSULT THEIR HUSBANDS BUT COULD SAY OTHER THINGS YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED IN HEARING, JUST BE QUIET AS IF YOU'RE LISTENING BUT BE THINKING SOMETHING ELSE THEN AFTER YOU ASK HER WHAT DID YOU SAY?

Rubbish
PRACTICE THIS METHOD FOR AWHILE, YOU'LL BE SHOCKED TO SEE THE LEVEL OF PEACE AT HOME.

FOR EG YOU COME BACK HOME AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE STARTS HER GENERATOR AND YOU DIDN'T HEAR ANY, AT THE END OF THE RANTING YOU TELL HER DARLING PLEASE I WANT TO EAT; SOME COULD START ANOTHER ROUND OF RANTING WHICH YOU WON'T HERE THEN AFTER THAT YOU ASK FOR THE FOOD AGAIN, YOU CAN EVEN GET CLOSE AND ATTEMPT TO HOLD HER WAIST. IN THE NIGHT DRAW HER CLOSE AND ATTEMPT TO WANT TO MAKE LOVE TO HER BEARING IN MIND THAT SHE MIGHT RESIST, WHICH WILL MEAN NOTHING TO YOU. BUT WHEN YOU LEAVE FOR WORK THE NEXT MORNING SHE WILL BE WONDERING WHY ALL SHE SAID DIDN'T AFFECT YOU? IF YOU PRACTICE THIS FOR LIKE THREE MONTHS, SHE WILL START FEELING STUPID THAT ALL WHAT SHE'S BEEN SAYING DOES NOT AFFECT YOU SO WHATS THE NEED
GO AHEAD AND PUT IT TO PRACTICE. WITH THIS METHOD YOU WON'T LEAVE THE HOUSE YOU WILL BE THERE WHEN SHE'S BACKING BUT YOU WON'T HERE A THING. GOD BLESS YOUR HOME

Nobody is envy of anyone. I am just stating the obvious fact. We also spend billions migrating there and putting more billions in their economy working there. We also spend billions here buying their imported goods. Thanks
