OP, Luckily for you, this video that addresses all your concerns was on Nairaland frontpage this monday. Japa. still worth it?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAiqIyuG0hM

Here, fourteen people discussed all the things you have to take into consideration to make your decision to relocate including the three highly controversial pathways to residency. I suggest you listen till the very end. It's a very practical conversation, highly educative and thankfully, they aren't selling you anything. Pay particular attention to what the geologist says he had to do when he relocated. You can thank me later.

All the best.

Me too, I just got appointment as an SA to a Governor, and my total take home a month is around 5million, but I am scared tribunal may throw my boss out soonest and I just got a work visa to Mozambique, I don't know if I should leave this SA job and japa or not.


Nairalanders abeg help a brother with some good advice

crown2525:
My candid advice is that just build yourself here, later you can relocate your family abroad and go visiting!!!

Boyjaco:
Send your kids and wife abroad put your kids in a very affordable school and wife let look after the children

JIBO4REAL:


If you say another thing I may agreed with you but best education spoiled everything
When we have a third class graduate in Nigeria top almost all the class in abroad

Alot of NGO in Nigeria paid more than that WHO,GiZ Nigeria, Unicef, Plan and many more

Daxray07:
5mil a month is enough for you to start something before your boss is thrown out if that eventually happens. I personally don't enjoy working for people and I'm always looking for ways to invest or start something just for myself, with your current financial status you should be able to start something that would grow and stop you from seeking employemnt upandan. My take though.

fyzaila:
Japa to go and do what there exactly? It's not as if there is war here.
You have a good job already, why not hold your peace and build your abroad here.

SSpeter:
is it the low purchasing power of the Naira you will use for vacation?

LastProphet:


He works in an ngo, if he earns that much then he will get official foreign trips, trainings etc,may times no dime from her pocket

Berankis:


I earn 10.2m a month too, can you advise me?

Dadatao1998:


Are you believing this guy? If so, i am sorry to say that you are a mumu. How can he be earning 5million naira per month as an S.A to governor?

motionarena:


He is a massage therapist

SSpeter:
going for trainings abroad is not tantamount to taking a vacation neither does foreign trips which are work related. When you go on vacation, you plan to relax and spend money

Nonexisting:
Guy, NGO job no dey guaranteed. I'm anti japa but you have a child, a son for that matter so japa for his sake. Country no level. Even though I'm still comfortable so far, if I have a son, I will japa to give him a better future. God forbid I raise a son in this dark part of the world.

Other things being equal, STAY.

You already have a good job and a side hustle. You don't need to jaba. Just invest part of your income on landed properties in anticipation of life after retirement.

Oga, which type of VISA? If it is PR yes but if it is visiting think twice. I was earning N1m and I got PR. Am not regretting relocating

My friend no let anyone fool you. A third class graduate in Nigeria cannot top all his class abroad at least not in the UK where I school. Education in UK is harder than Nigeria where we all copy ourselves. U no how many resit my friends have. Some were even professionals with other masters before this one.
Back to the op. If u actually earn 1.2million u don't have business coming to the UK save for the insecurity in Nigeria. Take that away u are fine in Nigeria because coming here u will be saving equivalent after paying tax, bills and rent.
