hopful: @op,
You are entitled to your decisions, but pls make an informed one.
Leaving such combined couple income to start afresh needs a second thought.
You said its for your children's future; with what you are earning , you can send them to ivy league schools anywhere if you save upfront for that. Even many citizens of the developed nations cannot afford such.
I agree that the Nigerian situation can be frustrating even when you have money, but plan well before you leap.
Don't think that some people are not suffering in the US, i have seen homeless citizens here and I vowed that rather than become homeless , i will go back to nigeria. I am a student on scholarship and I thank God for that, otherwise, living here could be difficult financially, except of course you have people back home to rely on. So if you decide to come for studies, consider the financial implications for a family of 4, with need for health insurance etc.
I cannot discourage you from leaving nigeria, but have a solid plan.
A work based migration will be a good option, so you can explore such.
If you really want it, you will find a way.

ty osho: i just had to login to respond to your post.
@op,please do relocate legitimately as long as you are qualified for it.Try the canadian or Australian migration programme as both are wonderful countries.I totally understand the angle you are speaking from as i agree that Nigeria is a frustrating country and there doesnt seem to be hope of it getting better soon.
I spent 4months in the US last year when i went to have my baby and i must say i felt like not leaving(it wasnt my first time overseas but it was the longest time spent outside this country).Nobody is saying its a bed of roses out there but its WAAAAY better than Nigeria.I stayed with an excolleague who migrated with the visa lottery program 6months earlier and shes doing a whole lot better than me with my 7years work experience.Everything thats easily accessible to majority of folks out there is an exclusive of the stupendously rich here(good food,insurance,healthcare,quality education,social welfare,holiday travels etc) and its so frustrating to see ppl suffer over the smallest of necessities in Nigeria.
The most annoying is that most Nigerians dont even know they are suffering cos they have never had it any other way.We have tried for the Australian scheme but didnt qualify cos hubby has less than the 4years required experience required.

The most important thing is migrate legally and every other thing will follow.

For those saying 8m annually is good enough reason not to migrate,well thats what i thot too that didnt make me migrate during the UK HSMP years.Today nko?the company has not only closed up,it closed up owing me months of salary and no plan anywhere by anybody to pay us the money owed.My male ex colleagues have seen weeen.

Answer question naauuuu...haba :/

oolumide: @hopful thanks for you insight. Well I may be wrong but my thinking is that many nigerians want to go to major cities in places like US. What if I decide to go to a place like wyoming (I hope I got the spelling right) with less population and also decide to stay in country side will cost of leaving still be so high and challenging? I dont know. I av always wanted a country side life with so much privacy with my family and with so much interest agriculture. Well the idea is also to learn a lot about animal farming and with the plan to probably come back to nigeria later year for non economic reasons. However the things that are important for me is access to good health care and good education for my ward. Do u know that I pay about 320k for my 2 children sch fees per term and it is still the basic education.

hmmmm

dizzyk:

Think the poster is not saying the truth, earning 10Mill (family),that is over $5K per month, am not sure this is real for a man who still wants to go abroad on this income in 9ja, if you earn this much and never been to Europe, UK, US or Canada at least for vacation then you must be joking about your earning, dont think this forum is a place to come and just pulling people' legs...my family earn less and we have been everywhere with 3 kids and never think that earning 70% of your claim we can live abroad because, to earn equivalent of "your family income" abroad in this present global melt down, then you must be BIG....

Olofintunyin: I decided to sign up on this forum because I realise you want to make the biggest mistake of your life. Life is not greener on the other side. I live in the US and have lived in the UK before and some other countries. I am fairly successful but it is not easy. No one, you may not get the equivalent of the job you have in Nigeria here and same with your wife, there are lots of factors on that, your background (college certificates, accents, culture shocks etc). Two, you stand the risk of divorce because it is higher here and our women misbehave more here, and then you will spend the most part of your life supporting them with nothing left for you. 3. Environment: the weather is not favorable The struggle to get all the documents that will allow you to work 4. Jail is not far away from anybody, even when you are decent, it goes from traffic to domestic misbehavior , at least you lovely wife will at some point calls a police on you.
However, if your sacrifice is not for you but your kids, then you can move out of Nigeria. This depends on the ages of your kids, if they are above 10 years, do not move. The younger age the better because that will help the integration. I agree that there are challenges back home but the challenges here is far more but different with style. Most challenges in Nigeria are physical, here is emotional and could be more frustrating. That is why suicide is very rampant here even among Nigerians.... All in all.... with your income in Nigeria.... DO NOT LEAVE NIGERIA... May God gives you the hears to listen!

KA24DETT: Dude, Get out while you can . Apply for a school in canada like Memorial university. MUN.CA. Its a very cheap and good school in canada. You can immigrate with your kids.
This is not about you anymore. This is about your kids. You need to give them a better life, better healthcare and better standard of living.
There are things money can't buy in Nigeria. What you get in developed country is a better standard of life and not really the money. I know people like you with higher income in Nigeria and still immigrated with their family to come over here. You can upgrade your qualifications and move up fast.
Get out while you can.

oolumide: @dasparrow thank for ur highlights. All ur points are valid. African countries option seems a good one. My only challenge with it is that it is mainly southern african countries that are a bit okay. Zimbabwe would have been the best option for me. For it capture the serenity that I desire, but things have gone too bad there since I was last there in 2003. Then it was one of the few countries in africa that you drink water directly from the tap, it was also then the food basket of southern africa. I was once in one of their secondary school and it was like a university in nigeria. But since then a lot has happened. But then thanks for ur input.
