[b]Conman?how...i just gave my objective opinion boss...and conman doesn't seem to me a proper language..my objective response is based on experience of both side of the coin of living in Nigeria and also living abroad.I quess i made sense to the op..by the way before you conclude that i am one of those naija that wont hesitate to leave naija with visit visa or one of those that ran away to abroad and are no where to be found...i worked as an Accountant with the Maritime in Nigeria for 12yrs and now living in Canada with my family as permanent resident and work with one of the richest Estate and property development company in Western Canada..i moved to Canada under the federal skilled workers program out of choice of getting tired with what naija offers in terms of living life and for the future of my kids..and i have enjoyed every bit of my decision so far.

sorry it Was a typo.

I meant best comment.

You said it all

kelzgie:
Yeaa...obudu mountain resort is cool mehnn....
I was there and used a car to ascend d hills...men twas such an experience....as soon as you get to the top,.weather changes....everywhere becomes cold....sometimes the cloud comes so close to you....you ain't gonna see your next man..
The road up d mountain is ziggyzaggy...nice structures and environment...

Was it affordable?

Like can you please give me an estimate on the bill?

pansophist:
If you're white, then yes, it may be the best country to migrate to. I've lived in Sweden and I will chose Canada, Australia and even USA before Sweden. Heck, I'll even chose South Africa to Sweden.

Regardless of the material comfort Sweden offers, I can't live in darkness for 8 months in a year, endure winter that goes below 30 degrees, always feeling "out of place" due to my skin colour and endure the racism that comes with it. And of course, the antisocial people that makes its difficult to make friends. Life should be more spicy than that, not Sweden.

Beautiful country though

This guy again

Too conscious of his skin color


Sometimes you just have to chill and not take things so serious

gentleiphy:
[b][/b]All the advice and contributions by everybody here as regards the OP's question whether to stay back in Nigeria or travel abroad are all valid point made.Being objective in some decisions seems the best way to tackle issues as well as being realistic.

For starters,no country in this world is the street littered with money money that as soon as you are born or arrived the country you start picking the coins and notes on the road...you have to work through your strengths,ability,ambition and mindset to achieve anything.With that said,in every country there are rich and poor,in Nigeria there are also rich and poor,graduates in any country also have to face competition to get jobs like Nigeria.In every country people have started jobs got fired and lose it from there,same in Nigeria.In every country you also need capital to start off a business so also is too in Nigeria and if you don't have capital you cant start..however some countries have stable economic environment to encourage business growth while some the harsh economic weather can stifle any intent of succeeding in business.

Now let me go to the question.Travelling abroad should not be seen as a do or die thing and also should not be seen as a route to the syndrome of Make-money-quick..if you intend to be in a legitimate job with a legal status..its easy to delve into the make-money quick in Nigeria than elsewhere because the system in Nigeria is based on anything goes..fake drugs goes,substandard materials goes and the rotten political systems and financial fraud.So many have personal reasons to relocate under [b]LEGAL[/b]means and not on a visit visa...some also have personal reasons to remain put in Nigeria and wade through the storm of hardship created by the politicians which by the way can in the near future end and things return back to normal.

someone here rightly said that so many in Diaspora are not better of because they have not built a house in Nigeria or have any investment in Nigeria...yes but measure of success mostly are not by how many houses you own,measure of success to so many is the quality of lifestyle you live with little or no money as compared to non quality lifestyle some live with plenty money..i will explain.

Some Nigerians left the country in search of better quality life for their family,kids and have access to the most commonest basic things being denied in Nigeria.Some have held big managerial positions in Nigeria but when the chips are down they are caught up in the web of confusion and hopelessness attached to Nigerian society.Some run away from Nigeria not because they dont have this money but because they seek for quick access to good and quality health care delivery system with or without money,some seek better security and protection of their lives,some seek easy access to clean portable drinking water and 24hrs electricity,some seek the freedom and respect as a human being first and foremost where rights are both for the poor and the rich and not only for the rich and where the legal system protects them whether rich or poor,some seek to relocate to better afford their kids a fast and assured future both in education which is quality and at a pace commensurate with their age.Most also sought for better job and at the same time enjoy all that i have mentioned above..nothing good also comes easy,you have to raise the bar to fit in to the new country you relocated to.The okonjo iwealas did not just get successful in the US,she worked hard for it and which she was to be in Nigeria she would been see as being made once she gets to Abuja politics..but US offered her the opportunity to become what she is today and mind you her kids have never lived in Nigeria.

Not undermining also the achievements made by so many Nigerians in Nigeria too and all that didn't come on a platter of Gold,hard work was also visible.But the difference is,the society and its perception about what quality life should be..Nigeria is zero and not looking like its going to ascend out from the zero mark anytime soon.Apart from the rich and the lucky middle class,can we say that everybody in Nigeria has the same access to same provisions of things that makes life easy?nope but in western world everybody both rich and poor have access to the most commonest things that makes life sweeter and better...in western world people may not be earning half of what an average Nigerian earns but are better in living life...simply put in western world both rich and poor are LIVING life while in Nigeria both rich and poor are merely EXISITING.. the difference in both[b] LIVING[/b] and EXISTING can put this way..the existing always run to the living for help and that clearly defines the abroad we talk about and the Nigeria we are comparing it with.

Finally,no place is as sweet as home,but sometimes the heat in the home will drive you outside to go receive the airconditon in another mans house and when you come back to your on house where you left you get surprised seeing the heat rashes(Poverty and stress) left in the body and faces of those in your home sweet home.Decision to relocate should not be based on what people abroad or people at home tells you...base your decision on what you actually want for yourself..is it money? or is better life or is it for the sake of running away from Nigeria...people work good jobs abroad..in US 99% of Nigerians are highly skilled and hold various top positions in their chosen profession and some destiny too kept them away from breaking through whether in abroad or back home...after all some in Nigeria started business before Dangote but some have parked up and return back to the village.But in all please do not relocate to any country without the legal way,do not run away to any country with visit visa...otherwise the sufferness you will meet wont be a nice story to write about..life is better abroad than Nigeria no matter how we explain it or try to use those that immigrated illegally and those not being fortunate to do the job they did back home which in anyway is tied to destiny...success is not by hardwork alone...success is favor from God first..to whom God chooses he bless.if you like run to jerusalem or remain in Nigeria what God decides about you is all that matters.

wisdom is the best.think carefully before you take any leap.

This is the best conman here.

I intentionally do not want to comment as regards the council meeting. The last time I went to confirm, some people said I went to count cars. The council meeting was actually held that particular day. But people never believed me simply because result was not released. What if the council recommended an adjustment on the results?

I hope say you no dey vex o
That will be too bad.

But do they really adjust results ?

aduntemi:
Professional. Nope, a couple of other materials I don't want to see again, at least not for the purpose of writing any ICAN exam. It has to finish here o

OlalekanEdun:

BabatundeBMS:
