I was at UNILAG studying computer science 200L but applied to join the British Army while in Naija. I went through the process and got a 6 months visit visa to UK. This was back in 2009. went on to spend 5years in the Army, went to Afghanistan a couple of times. I've left the army now and I now work as a software developer. I came to and stayed in the UK through a tough means but God saw me through. 32 Likes 1 Share |

Read what he posited again. If you want to leave the country, leave through the right channel. You can't go to US on a visiting visa, and decide to stay back. The system is against you already. 9 Likes |

Some people don't go prepared, they jump in hoping to pick money on the streets. That set of people need to be told the truth. Preparation is a key factor. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Information is key. I got the information on nairaland take vamoose 5 years ago. I knew the Tsunami Buhari was coming. Worked very hard to escape it. And it worked. Being to many countries in Europe and America since then. Never used any agency. I am my own agent. 13 Likes 1 Share |

Preetychina22: I'm surprised anyone compares life abroad with Nigeria Am average person has a better shot to succeed abroad than in this failed shitjole dump called Nigeria On average There are outliers who succeed in Nigeria But with the overwhelming poverty, foolishness and hopelessness in one space, one is better off abroad No sentiment One who did not make it abroad will most likely wouldn't have made it if he was in Nigeria So it makes NO difference 16 Likes 1 Share |

Preetychina22: I don't jump into conclusions . I mention more about the life here in Nigeria, how some Nigerians can deliberately hold down money meant to be paid for services rendered. Whether it makes them happy the service render is always asking for his or her balance I don't even know. Or companies withholding salaries. I know of one next to my office. They owe this new secretary money after like two months, she couldn't bear the suffering anymore, she had to arrest the manager of the company and file a report at the police station. Police came, sealed up the office and invited the manager to the station, cause the OgA has traveled and not always around. Mehn, they paid her money in full before the gate of the company was opened up again. She is one lady who didn't take rubbish from her employers, because the company is known to always place advert on Guardian, people with suits and tie will queue up there during interview, not knowing the company only uses people. For a month or so, then only the employee will leave by himself. It's that bad. So I'm talking of what I know Then I have a friend living abroad, before he left naija, he was suffering Even though he has a job. When he travelled and started a job abroad. Come and see this guy now, we always video chat. He looks so frosh and fine, I almost proposed to him. Not too long ago, he recorded himself suited up and dancing on his whatsapp status. He looked so happy, robust, dancing and singing . I was like wow! I was forced to pray for him through whatsapp call., that his joy will never be cut off! His joy will be complete sooner than he expect in Jesus name. I was so happy in my spirit seeing him very happy and robust unlike when he was in naija. As in that's when I realised Nigeria is hell fire! Na hell fire ooooo! I will scream it loud for all to hear, if it's possible to scream online sef Nigerians abroad don't believe the lies. Some people say here o! It's terrible here, except u know God that's when ones path can be soft and rosy. That's for me anyways. I have said my own o 20 Likes 2 Shares |

So,I left lagos Nigeria in 2015. I currently live in Atlanta GA. If you want to travel out of naija to the US or many other western countries. I believe you should have these 5 core things to convince consulates folks. Do you have travel experience? Its very important. Dont do there with virgin passport except you depend on miracle. You need to be making good money or at least tell them and write it on your form. You dont want to be an economic liability to them in their country. Be ready to speak to everything on the form you filled. They like you to smile � and be accurate. If you say youre a manager be ready to tell them your duties. Let them know youre married with kids that way they will believe you will come back. You can go with documents but US embassy dont have time for that. Two to there sentences for every question is perfect. IE Are you married? Yes, happily married with 3 kids. 2 boys 1 girl.... Why do you want to travel is usually their first question. Say hey my cousins wedding is coming up in May. Looking forward to seeing her after 8 years for a reunion and vacationing in Florida. Again, dont be afraid. Go with confidence of if you want give me give but i no dey do shakara. That way youre yourself but not proud. Remember smile. White pple like it... Tell them you make for example 3000 dollar a month. I have been here for over 4 years finally doing what i like in the IT space. Before now i did all sort. Jobs;uber security. Keep your mind on the goal. Remember get your sources secure. They will verify your story before you get the visa. My 2 cents 27 Likes 4 Shares |

I will try to be brief but Firstly always say to every desperate one who wants to travel out of Nigeria at all cost, I say to them "travel and see". Many persons are not concerned about leaving Nigeria for greener pastures but instead they just want to leave the country so as to take crisp photos, enjoy 24hrs electricity, enjoy good roads and most of all freedom otherwise with all the warnings of people, more persons still want to go see for themselves. I assure you 90% of you saying " If it's not easy return home na " Will still end up saying to others "my guy abroad not easy oh". Please go and see for yourself... Most especially Dubai...its cheap but scam in the country na 80%, be careful, rethink and be very guideful of your money. The only way you can make it quickly overseas is scam, fraud and illegal activities 5 Likes 1 Share |

victorian: How old are you? You are convinced by a video call and a robust sight that he's living the best life... Well yes he maybe but can you do what he did to get there? Can you do fraud? Can you scam people of their money? Just saying.... I don't even know how to explain this a broad thing to people. You have to go to understand. The reason persons are not returning home is because of the things they see and hear about Nigeria on the internet but they rather feed from mouth to mouth than return to Nigeria. When you compare many things in infrastructure and basic needs you'd rather overstay your visa. 3 Likes 1 Share |

I knew I’d have better prospect abroad than Naija so to cut long story short, I met my wife in a school in Abuja where she was visiting with her two friends, they had visited a primary school to donate some study materials to a school in Garki during a college break. We started talking from then until a year later when she came down to Naija to see me and I proposed and we got married at AMAC registry Abuja few days later and 3months after I moved to Britain to join her. My life has never been thesame again and now a naturalised citizen, obtain a pharmacy degree and never regretted. 13 Likes 1 Share |
