You will be shocked that there are tens of places far better than america and co and places you can settle down and plan ur future with full peace of mind

Try Germany ... At least you don't need to be burdened with tuition fees . And 5M is enough for block account . You will get a job there and save your money

Please more details

Germany or Canada are the two countries I'm interested in. Seeking for work visa either of the two.

frankmoney:
if you have the funds and first degree certificate ... I will advise you to go for Canada through the express entry . You will become a permanent resident and also be able to work legally , but it's a point based system so you will have to check if you meet the requirements .Germany on the other hand is good if you go through student visa , you will be allowed to work as well as study and when you finish your program you have 18 months to look for a job if you secure one , then you get a PR .

Do you think Germany would accept HND for masters ?

And please as a student can one have a job that'll cater for the person as a student ? I mean can one make up to 1000pounds every month ?

Thank you

frankmoney:
no .I don't think so . You will have to do another degree . I will advice you to do a bsc in Germany instead . You can make an average to take care of your basic needs . But it also depends on the workload of your academics . About making up to 1k pounds , I really don't know if that's possible , but then I might be wrong. You are allowed to work 20 hours per week as a student , and average pay should be around 5-10 euros per hour , so you should be making around 800 euros ..that's if you work 20 hours a week . But you have to consider your academics as well . I will advise you make more research or check the Germany thread here on nairaland

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

If I were you, Ill start an affiliate marketing as a side hustle. If you work hard (Im sure you can if you already hustle to this level), you can make the money back quickly. You can expend like 5m in it and if done well, youre made. Of course you can also fail, so its a risk. But all business ventures are.

If you go to Empire Flippers, you can see sites earning good morning monthly that you can buy and start making money immediately.

Of course, you have to know affiliate marketing before hand. If you are not savvy, Youtube is your friend. Watch videos on it all day and your learning will be quick.

I just gave you a blueprint that will help you stay in Nigeria and still do extremely well.

Dont go abroad o. That 20m will finish fast.

Export raw foods from Nigeria to south Africa, in 6 months time people will ask you if you are dealing on drugs.
Thank me later.

SocialJustice:
Your mind is made up on travelling and I support your view. You also sound like the money came from keyboard pressing. I advise you put N3-N5m in a business with fast turnover. Look for what you're most comfortable with. At the same time make your street connect stronger. Use N1m to travel build travel history, go to UAE, SA, Kenya.

Finally, look for strong connect to enter USA, buy confirmed job or use admission. Do not build house because you will exhaust that money. You be Benin boy, use your brain. If USA fail, pay school fees for Sweden and leave. Sweden 100% sure.

Also avoid beggars in whatever form they come in. Them go beg that money finish. Still first laugh you when you broke.

bigjackass:
please tell me what you know about this buying of confirmed job sir

SocialJustice:
Strictly connection, I had it once but couldn't afford it. A company in USA offers you job and invites you over. You don't pay anything until after visa is issued.

bigjackass:
wow. How much were you asked to pay or how much does it typically cost ? This is very good if one can afford it

20million is just $56,600.

With a master degree in STEM in USA, you will make that money in 6-7 month before tax.

If you have a sure way of leaving Nigeria to either Canada or USA, you better take the chances now.

Facebook for example give signing bonus ranging from $56,000 - $100,000. Let me paraphrase this, it means when you get a job from Facebook, they pay you this amount for just agreeing to work for them.

Reeses:


Not only facebook even Tesla is hiring.Stop decieving people there is no job waiting for anyone.i live here and lots of people are struggling right now there are millions of unemployed citizens looking for even a warehouse jobs or store jobs.

LegendHero:


You mean unemployed with STEM master’s degrees ?

I will NEVER believe there are millions of unemployed citizens with STEM masters degree doing warehouse job. It doesn’t make any sense.

If you say those guys are graduated and got F1-OPT and exhausted it before they can see an employer that will file their H-1B, that’s a different ball game. Even people like that can opt for a PhD program to stay in status and then hope to secure a job after graduating instead of resorting to menial jobs.

I don’t know the USA you’re living or the midst of Nigerians you find yourself, but the USA where I’ve been staying for quite some time will NEVER have millions of STEM masters degree doing warehouse jobs like you implied.

Unless if you’re looking at a different demographics.

Reeses:

Dude i repeat there are no jobs at the moment lots of experience junior and senior developers are currently out of work due to the covid and guess what? facebook will pick those guys first before they take a foreigner. So i will advice the young man to invest his money back in Nigeria then travel down here for vacations only.
