Should I stay in Nigeria or travel to Ghana my in-law place in search of job

Let me talk to you as an elder and a former resident of Ghana for 2 years in recent times.

LEGAL STATUS
After 90 days of stay, you need a permit to remain in the country. It comes via business, study or work.
- study: this is automatic. Your passport will be stamped accordingly and the name of your school has to be checked against a list the Ghana immigration has for such a purpose.
- business: already heavily flogged. You need $1m in cash or in equipment/goods as a 100% owner of a business in Ghana. Entering into a partnership with a Ghanaian where you give up 51% ownership cuts this amount to $200,000. Exemption to this payment is if you operate a company involved in manufacturing, or involved in exportation of Ghana's products. Most Nigerians are unaware of this loophole and do not make use of it, preferring to go into the prohibited retail spaces. Also know that there are certain business sectors reserved only for the locals.
- work: your company has to sponsor your work permit, which is then used to process the residency permit. A check will be made to ensure your employment does not flout expatriate quotas, because the company pays the government a sum of money for each expatriate employed.

You will need to go to the NIA to get a non-citizen card to at least have the confidence to move around freely.

So let me tell you frankly: you leaving to Ghana to "look for work" will leave you very frustrated. You will never get one legally. That is why many of our people go there, and they get stranded. Then they turn to criminal activity.

Already as a Nigerian, you have a reputational problem. The system is already wired to reject you.

- You cannot get a MoMo license as a Nigerian.
- You cannot get register as a Bolt or Uber driver. The few Nigerians I met doing this were those who had one parent as a Ghanaian.
- Even if you decide to open a store or small business under the radar, the Ghanaians will report you instantly and you will have unwanted visits from area boys (yes, they exist in Ghana) or the Ghana Police Services.

Also, can I tell you that the cost of living in Ghana is higher than in Nigeria? Fuel costs the equivalent of N400 per litre. If you try living in Dzorwulu or East Legon or Adjiringanor, you pay house rent in dollars. Let me not even talk of Osu or Cantonment area.

Luuuuuxxxxxry!

Why do some people always think the wives of rich people just sit at home doing nothing?She has been managing a foundation with her husband for years.
She has a B.Sc in computer science and an MBA.She worked in Microsoft in her early years.She's an entrepreneur and a writer.

Abeg keep quiet. She married Bill Gates as the world's richest man.

Which kind of income does an MBA and a BSC in Computer Science deliver?

This story has a lot of holes in it.

Here is a perspective which has been confirmed from other sources.

Can't call mine anymore. He's late. He was the best. Sacrifice was his middle name.

Getting into a legal wrangle with a company that has UNLIMITED RESOURCES is a complication you do not want in your life. Not to talk of the fact that the company has noted you, and has probably put out a global espionage operation on you and your family using your devices and stuff.

Kill the business and do something else with your life.

Modern day Ahab and Jezebel.

Evil things that thought their "dead bodies all over the streets of Africa" agenda will work.

Anyone who thinks evil for the African race must die and burn in hell fire.

The last time I tried full payment before delivery I was cheated greatly. instead of 50kg rice, the thief bagged 44 / 46kg wet rice and sent to me. On receiving it , I called him to know why, all he could tell me was that he doesn't have anything to say to me or do as I should be grateful I got something at least. Since then, I'm so skeptical and afraid of payment before delivery

What I do is to waste that money in the realm of the spirit. That person will develop a pocket filled with holes...

Aflao border was closed during the pandemic's hottest point last year, and it remains closed. Trying to cross this border is a criminal offence.

He was lucky he was not shot.

Let him try to find out what happens to those who do the Nazi salute in several European countries. Then he will understand that admiring people, a cause or a symbol carries consequences.

The driver of that van is Leo Prinsloo, a firearms instructor and former SWAT commander with the South African Police Services. He has been in these scenarios his whole life, which explains his calm response to the whole thing.

He actually turned the bullion can and chased the robbers to a hotel and pinned them down, from where police took over and arrested the robbers.

Sadly, we hear the one called Robbie did not make it. He was probably hit in a back up vehicle.

To think that Ashley Young, Lukaku and Sanchez were allowed to go to Inter and became reborn just shows what a scandalous Chairman Ed Woodward was for Man Utd.

In November 2020, I Paid my neighbor who has a car stand for a toyota highlander 2010. He said he can bring it for 4.5m and asked for 2m deposit to balance when the car comes. Long story short, I ended up paying 5.3m and he came up with several stories about processing custom duty and didn't bring the car (a different 2008 highlander) until January 16.

I traveled few days after and on my way back, I got stopped by customs officers. The duty on the car was shoddily forged. I parted with 220k after long hours of begging. I got to Abuja with a soldier that I paid 40k. In summary, the car has cost me 5.7m.

I returned the car when I got back and he said I'll pay 60k to cancel the registration and he'll sell the car . since February 3rd, he hasn't paid. Once he said some people deposited money and I asked for it. He sent 200k in March. He's been posting me week after week. Different stories.

What's the best way to recover my money? I'm tired of the stories.
He said he's retired SSS

Why did you return the car? Simply go to customs and perfect the duty.

BadRadio:
Please guys... what do I need to do now...ni just swallowed a mango seed !!!

It will germinate in your belly!

On a serious note, you will likely pass it out undigested. That is if it does not tear your anus open in the process.

Hahahaha..

School fees money don dey dry up for US universities.

This fellow is demon possessed. Another R Kelly!

Anything we see in this Buhari term, make we just take am. Na one chance govt. we dey

They have been charging this for a long time. Try doing a foreign transfer. You pay offshore charge, VAT, Telex charge and commission. FOUR charges!

His village people have tied his legs and his destiny.

daveyjay:
Bossy by vacating my bed and sleeping on the floor since January??!
Bossy by tolerating her insolent behaviour for one full week??!

C'mon

Why are you replying that Richotet thing? You should know those whose power of comprehension and reasoning is below that of pigs. Even animals do not tolerate such insolence.

You should be able to take the situations around you and make a joke out of it...on the fly.

location?

Na wa.

The way God just protects us in Naija. No natural disasters, no meteor strikes, no hurricanes, no typhoons, no earthquakes. Even COVID-19 is not as bad as it is elsewhere.

Meanwhile India saw more than 330,000 new cases in one single day. We dey here dey register 45 new cases. What did we do to deserve such unmerited mercy from God?

Father, we thank you.

Hello freelancer's earners.

I just got a project from an employer based in UK but his country indicates Netherland on his freelancer profile.

He's requesting for me to pay a refundable of 44£ before giving me the job which is "rewriting a PDF document of 22pages to Microsoft word" at 20$ par page.

I'm suspecting him to be a scammer.

Please, I want to know, are the employees paying security fees before landing their projects on freelancer?

I will like to hear and learn from the experts.
Thank you.

The guy is a bloody scammer.

AllenSpencer:
$18k

I use to believe at some point that players like Amuneke could write of that amount.

May be I am wrong.

On what basis? Is N6m a joke?

FineUsername:
Lets say you've a first degree, a PGD in different discipline and you're currently running a professional course which is related to your first degree and job; saving an average of 1.5m Naira a year from your work. Then, boom! An all full tuition scholarship (undergraduate) came with a monthly allowance of approximately 30k Naira. Location? China! Course? Same discipline with your first degree.

Will you resign from your current position for the scholarship?

Reasons.

China does not provide post-schooling employment visas. Unless the scholarship is for a course that actually gives you skills you can privately monetize, you should not consider it.

To CSP Nwafor and other SARS killers,

this will be your fate one day. Keep hiding.

This man oversaw the collapse of Man Utd. He should have been long gone.

His residency documents were stolen at a point in time along with his passport. So what will he be staying in Nigeria with?

Gbaramatu Kingdom, Tompolo's area.

I am starting to think that this guy switched his father off.

RIP Football

1863 - 2021

Wrong. Football was created by the rich aristocrats in the UK at the time.

inumidun2010:
How much are they going to pay him
.. Nobody should say MONEY doesn't matter cos he's BIG already oooooo... LOYALTY doesn't PAY the BILLS , MONEY does... Cos any HARD TACKLE can spoil the NEXT SEASON for the BALLER OOOO

Is he better than Ronaldinho, Juan Riquelme, Alvaro Recoba and others who ended their careers in their home countries?

bigjackass:
the suffering person is brain dead and can't seek God's face. So is it appropriate for him to continue suffering because his family didn't? . A serious God will reveal himself to the man in coma who will then wake up and testify. Not this sadistic fucker you people call God

Are you not an idiot?
