The moment he said he is from Benin i has 20milla i knew he is a yahoo boy

Michellekabod2:

You celebrate mediocrity....if he said he has just 1000 in his account will you ask how the 1000 came about?
Leave him alone

Beautifulgirl:
. a responsible man with as little as N2m will never ask this kind of question online.
oga N20m is not small cash.

Hello dear nairalanders.

Please I'm going through a state of mental confusion.

Currently i have approximately 20 million and 300 thousand naira in my bank account.

I have two thoughts.

1) I am 25 years old but I'm not a university graduate, i only have ND (National deploma) from a polytechnic In Edo state, Auchi precisely.

I would have become a graduate years ago but after my "ND" years ago, i refused to go back to school and i decided to hustle for money.

Most of my classmates in school back then are all graduates but all the same, looking at my bank account now, i have no regrets.

So this is what i plan on doing.

1) Can i further my Education In any university in the United States with the money and plan on staying back after my degree, for the fact that I'm 25.
Will that be advisable?

2) should i stay back in Nigeria and use part of the money to build a house In my hometown in Benin and use the rest for business?

3) Is there a chance of going to USA and start all over again, look for job.
Will the money be enough to rent a house, foot some bills untill i see a job in the USA.

Note i choose USA only because it's my dream country, I'm not scared of the traveling ban because I'm 100% confident that it will be taken away few months from now.

Please i won't be replying any mention or questions.

All i want is to take note of good advice.

I already know a reliable traveling agent.

Please other suggestions are welcomed apart from mine.

Please help

[/quote]If I were you, well I think Canada should be another option instead of USA in terms of a more friendly environment for foreigners [quote author=Brodapounds post=86854251]Nice but what type of business?

But sincerely, part of the reason why i want to leave is safety of my life and my sanity.

I want my future kids to come into the world in a sane environment with top class Education.

I feel with me in the USA, i will be opening doors and opportunity for my siblings which are in school right now.

One of my sisters is studying as a nurse, i want her to work in USA as a professional Nurse and i feel with me establishing myself there, if will be possible.

I don't think about myself only, as the eldest child and son, i want the best life for my siblings, so my parents will be proud of me, i want my parents to visit me freely In USA and i feel this 20 million naira is GOD answering my prayers.

Hope you understand?

with 20 million Naira you can start a very good business. Please do not make the mistake of using your money to travel abroad. There is nothing there.

stay in Nigeria, invest the money, after 2-3 when you have made profit you can now travel to USA, UK and other advanced country for vacation.

but to live in USA?? is a big no

horpigee1:
I guessed u studied entrepreneurship in d university, you have different species of business in ur skull, bruh u must make it in life.

Toaskarity:
Hi, I think I might be in a good position to answer this question. I am two years older than you now, I moved to America on my 20th birthday. I just graduated from college last year.

Short answer: MOVE!!
Let's say you move
At 25 yrs old, you re still a baby. What is you life mission?
Money? There re 11 million millionaires in America(2/3 of lagosians) and most are in their thirties. In the whole of African continent only 144 thousands millionaire out 1 billion ppl. Nigeria has about 500.
Quality of life?
Average life expectancy here is almost 80 yrs unlike where you are right now with 53 yrs (at 25 yrs old 50% your life gone).
Your worth as american vs naija
$59,000.00 gdp per cap
$2000.00 gdp per cap

It will be a struggle at first but I promise you it is nothing compared to struggle in a third world. Your struggle here is different from the struggle in Nigeria; basic things such as food, water, housing, electricity and even car will never be a problem. You concentrating in school and not getting carried away might be the struggle for you. I said this cos I noticed naija guys that achieve little thing back home wants same life real quick here with out going through the process. If you have same mindset stay tf back home. Also choose the right field in school too. My suggestion: computer, medical ( do something that get you a Certificate)

4-5 years from now (29-30) your life will be amazing.Aleast as a graduate with above college field is 60k and above a year (21 million naira) You will make your money back with a better life.You can literally afford anything anybody in most part of the world can afford.

I have been to Nigeria twice since I moved here, i swear to God what people define as development in Nigeria is not, it's just hype including lekki this or that.Nothing has changed since I left Nigeria and nothing will happen anytime soon. Yes there will be few road construction here and there and block houses but my brother pack your bag and get tf out!! It is home and will always be home. You can always visit or move back if you feel like it.

Ps: I assume you are so sure visa will be given to you if you haven't or not sure. I want to remind to remind you that American visa is hard and it's better to improve your life in Nigeria than throw away money for visa

Prec1ous:
Seems the "hustle" paid off big time. Do not forget, they do thorough check at the American embassy.

But to be sincere, if I was in your shoes. I will stay back and start a business. I don't know the business but I must find one.

On second thought, that kind of money means you have grown bigger than asking for life changing decisions from strangers.

So let's not deceive ourselves, if you travel with your limited education, you will be dumping your money in a soak away.

20 Million at 25 in Nigeria, what is the name of your start up in Nigeria, your stage name, political office, yahoo format or you sold your family land?

MODIFIED


I did not advise him. I said "if I was in his shoes". If it was me.

I did not say "he should" instead I said "I will".

He is not me. Read between the lines always and understand all context before quoting.

AuroraB:

FryMosquito:
Nobody want stay this country again.. Well, I will advice if you have a reliable travel agent you can give it a trial. There's business I would want you to start when you reach USA, inform me when you finally entered and I will tell you,not now.

Hadampson:


Thanks for the mention boss

@Brodapounds

I want you to ask yourself these questions. Why do you want to migrate to United States of America? What is the most important thing to you.. Is it sanity, security of life, staying in a working society or money?

Concerning going to the US. US has placed a ban on NIGERIANS, so i would advice you not to waste money on US visa. Instead apply for Canadian study visa. With 8m (tuition fee, flight ticket fee and other miscellaneous fees), you can study in maple land (Canada) and after you graduate from your studies, you can apply for a work permit under the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program and become a permanent resident after some years. Canada has a point based system called CRS to access and score the profile of applicant for getting permanent residency. They evaluate your degree, work experience etc. By studying in Canada, you will be given PR within 2 years.
Canada is a safe country with high standards of living. It has low crime rates, great health benefits for the citizens, PR and foreigners.

After getting your PR, if you are not comfortable in Canada, you can move to US.

Don't mind those people telling you to do business in Nigeria. If you want to stay in Nigeria, you can invest your money in treasury bill and be making your cool money or better still, learn programming or any IT skill in any institute in Lagos or anywhere in Nigeria and dive into the world of e-commerce.
E-commerce is one of the most promising in Africa and world at large, reaching out to the whole world as an attractive investment opportunity. Involvement in e-commerce holds the promise of huge potential results against little investment.

As for the music aspect, Nigeria is the only place where you can try your luck. The competition in the US music industry is high. You have a higher chances of making it in Nigeria as a song writer/artiste. That's all I have to say

Prost.
