TravelRe: With #1.5m Monthly Income, Suggest Countries I Can Send My Wife For Studies.. by Usefulsense: 5:15am On Nov 13, 2024
Originalsly:
Your wife is an RN ... and you want to send her abroad to study. You should say how many hundreds of millions or how many billions you have saved so we can give you better guidance. This I can tell you ... if you want to keep your family ... move together as a family. If you can't... don't. Your wife is 99% likely to hook up with somebody abroad ... most likely her school mate or work mate if she gets a job. If she doesn't get a job ... can't afford schooling ... she will have to make hard choices ... go into survival mode which has a way of suppressing one's moral code. You have a Plan A .... do you have a Plan B ...and C as backups? Those who succeed are those who research and plan very well.
Why are we so much fixated on women leaving their husbands when they come abroad?

Are there no examples of women who kept themselves for their husbands abroad when the later is in Nigeria?

you just advised the Op based on your experience, no one attacked you. Another person also advised the Op probably based on his own experience but you attacked him with insults. Nah waa ooo.

Because it worked for you does not mean it must work for others. And because it did not work for you doesn't mean it won't work for others. We have read so many times where it did not work. We have also read so many times where it worked.

I wonder when it became an offense for someone to give his opinion.
The harsh words are regretted.
TravelRe: With #1.5m Monthly Income, Suggest Countries I Can Send My Wife For Studies.. by Usefulsense: 4:40am On Nov 12, 2024
Op, do not listen to anyone trying to discourage you.

You are a good man who wants the best for his family hence your thinking about sending your family abroad.

If I had listened to people 3 years ago when I was about sending my wife abroad, I and my family won't be where we are today.

For every family that separated abroad, there are tens that survived.

Do not listen to men who cannot keep their wives. Let them not influence you.

Many men who are abroad today sent their wives first. And the families are now together and happy afterwards.

Do not allow vain men to ruin your strategic desire to give your family the best abroad.

My 2 cents, sir.

With the way you're doing currency conversion upandan, it seems you don't know how things work abroad do you? grin...

Lemme put it into perspective for you undecided...

Let's use your own calculations undecided...

Can 1920 pound/month in the UK give you the same standard of living (or better) as compared to 1.5 million/month in Nigeria? undecided...

The answer is NO!! undecided...
Sir, it will and I will tell you why.

You have very good roads.

You have healthy water to drink.

You have constant electricity.

You will worry less of thieves, armed robbers etc.

If you buy one litre of fuel abroad, it is one litre.
You live I'm a clean and healthy environment.

You will worry less of malaria
No body will harass you on the road.

Above all, you will have peace of mind.

What other standard of living do you expect?

Stop using your family experience in advising other men.

Read what you posted and tell me why you should advice a fellow man that way.

For your information, there are millions of men living happily with their families abroad.

Op be ready to lose you wife. Don't come back here to disturb us with stories that touch.
Don't listen to this loser. He has always been a loser, advising people out of his stupid experience in his own marriage.

Bro, I sent my wife about 3 years ago to Australia. My salary then was a little above 1 million naira net monthly.

She came to Aussie as a student. After 2 years she invited me and our children.

I am now in Australia. The best decision I ever made in my entire life is to leave Nigeria.

If your family mistakenly come ta Australia, bro, they will forever remain grateful to you as my family is to me.

You are still young I suppose, I came into Australia at 48.

Bro, again, if you mistakenly enter Australia, you're made.

Your wife is even a nurse. The much needed nurses.

Hello,

What is exactly is the colour of your problem when there are thousands of Nigerians hoping and praying so hard to get an opportunity as such as the one you have, who tells you can't get a job with your current age of 48, Canada, US, UK, Australia, Germany e.t.c are not Nigeria where they put limitations and restrictions and overlook competence, skill and experience and age is never a barrier in countries like Australia what stands you out is your skills, expertise and experience in-fact some companies do no longer hire degree holders, the look for skill-sets and experience stop this unnecessary worries, and Age barrier thing, Australia is not Nigeria there's nothing to compare Nigeria to with Australia the difference is clear just packaged yourself update your CV, evaluate your degree or masters certificate via (WES) and if you don't have a degree, or certificate you are still not useless, what skills do you have? are you a carpenter, painter or plumber? trust me you will even make money than most people in white collar jobs, though at the beginning things could be a bit rough but you will be amazed about the progress you will make within a year, compared to Nigeria where there's hopelessness age is not a show stopper working overseas if you have the experience and if you are qualified for the job and you be hired please move forward i wish you all the best.
This was the question I asked last year before I left Nigeria.

I am now in Australia and it is the best decision ever.

Bro, I finally left Nigeria. It was the best decision ever.

My colleagues in Nigeria call me the man who saw tomorrow.

I heard that Nigeria is tough now. Feeding is difficult for most families. Naira has significantly lost value.

Last week, I changed 500AUD (which is my 3 days pay) and got approximately 483,000 Naira that I sent to my mother for upkeep.

If you have the means to quit Nigeria, please do.
TravelRe: As An Accountant, Obtain ANAN Certification Before Coming To Australia. by Usefulsense(op): 12:16pm On Oct 23, 2024
Usefulsense:
This is important message to Accountants in Nigeria who may be considering coming to Australia.

Ensure you have ANAN certification before coming. It is easier to become a full member of CPA Australia with your ANAN.

ICAN is not recognised here. They are busy taking sister professional bodies to court while ANAN is moving fast in partnering with world renown accounting bodies.

With my ICAN, CPA Australia has mandated me to write 6 papers while ANAN members have much easier pathway.

If in doubt please visit CPA Australia website.

I agree with you but if i’m right, it means he is leaving others with no choice. It’s a subtle act of manipulation and wickedness. Many times, our hunch is the only thing we have. What we call a hunch is actually the spirit giving you signs. Your spirit can see more than your physical being.

The chronology of events is actually the reason why it is suspect. It’s deliberate and carefully planned. The overwhelming and overriding theme of his narrative is that he made the right decision including ditching his skilled training as an Accountant for a forklifting job.

He is only 3 months in but yet he is somehow versed with his host country already. He owes no one an explanation yet he came back to continue his tale. I bet he couldn’t wait to continue the rejoinder which was written thesame time as the original event.

If Usefulsense was truly an Accountant, he should come and tell me what his role was as a financial controller.
I finally got an accounting role with a very good company here in Sydney.

I no longer work in the warehouse. Though my current position is much lower than my previous post in Nigeria.

However, I am currently studying hard for my CPA.

Leaving Nigeria was a perfect decision.

“Igbayi laro” meaning it’s now you’re just thinking about it.


You better stay in Nigeria, Nigeria is the best place to live if you have money that’s the slogan of some suffering and smiling people.

Na when they turn old age and have nothing to show for it their eyes go clear.

Truth be told, if you’re above 40, you may want to reconsider your japa plan.
The best decision I ever made in my entire life was to run away from Nigeria with my family at 48.

I am healthier, children doing well at school, and the environment is clean, friendly and without any form of insecurity.

Leave Nigeria when you're still alive.

So do you reckon that I stand a strong chance of getting PR?? Cos I'm looking at exploring that option. As I'm not so financially buoyant to chase the study route.

What are my best options?? School route??
A far as accounting is concerned, it is extremely difficult if you are outside Australia. Difficult if you're in Australia but not impossible.

Accounting is very competitive here.

To be honest with you. School route is your best option in entering the country.
As far as PR is concerned, forget accounting. Except where a company sponsors you.

I Have MSc in accounting and ICAN with over 5 years of experience. Please 🙏 do I start the Australia permanent residence program and the chances. Thanks in anticipation, I am 34yrs old. My husband has MSc in information technology with over 10yrs work experience, 42yrs.
It will be difficult getting permanent resident as an accountant outside Australia. Even those in Australia are finding it extremely difficult because accounting is competitive.

Your best bet is to come in as a master degree student. This also is dicey because of the 35years cap for post masters visa.
Nothing is impossible. You can get a company that can sponsor you when you eventually arrive Australia.

Most importantly, forget your ICAN. It is useless here. If you can, obtain ANAN certification. It is much more recognized by CPA Australia.
With ANAN, your CPA membership is guaranteed.

ICAN is busy fighting other professional bodies in Nigeria while ANAN is widening their acceptance in developed climes.

Just my 2 kobo.

Very useful post you got, I will have to tell my sister to apply using the student visa...
But can I join her after a year? And of course like roughly what's the estimate we will need to be looking at?
Naira to Aud is at 1,070.

One semester school fees depending on the course of study cannot be less than 16,000Aud plus health insurance, living expenses, and air ticket.

To be on the safe side, your sister must be prepared to pay one year school fees so as not to put herself under unnecessary pressure. This is about 32,000Aud. Convert this to naira you have about 33million naira.
