Hello fellow Nairalanders,

I find myself at a crucial crossroad in life and would greatly appreciate your valuable insights and diverse perspectives. I have worked diligently in a private organization for 15 years, managing to save up to N20 million. Additionally, I own a 3-bedroom apartment. and a few plots of land in three different states in Nigeria.

Current Situation:
Recently, I was disengaged from my job, and this has prompted me to contemplate a major life decision. I am 45 years old, and my wife is 42 years old. Together, we have three children, two of whom are in secondary school.

Contemplating Relocation:
Given the circumstances, I have been seriously considering the possibility of relocating to another country with my family via study route. Two countries have caught my attention: the UK and Canada. I believe that I still have around 15 years of active career working life by the Grace of God, and I am open to exploring new opportunities abroad for the betterment of my family's future.

Reasoning:
The motivation behind this move is to provide my children with a better education and quality of life while also embracing new experiences. However, I am fully aware that this is not without risks, as it would involve utilizing my lifetime savings and making a fresh start in a foreign land.

Seeking Your Advice:
I humbly seek your honest advice and opinions on this matter. Here are some key points to consider:

Family considerations: How will relocating impact my children's education and overall well-being?

Age and career transition: Is starting anew in a foreign country feasible, considering my age and accounting background as my profession?

Financial stability: Should I be concerned about using my savings for this move? What steps can I take to ensure financial security in a new country?

Visa and immigration: What are the challenges and best practices in obtaining permanent residency in the UK or Canada?

Job opportunities: How promising is the job market for accountants in these countries? Are there viable prospects for career growth?

Investment options: Alternatively, what investment opportunities in Nigeria can provide a stable income stream for my family?

Conclusion:
I am deeply grateful for any advice, personal experiences, or suggestions you can provide. Your valuable insights will play a significant role in shaping this crucial decision for my family's future.

Thank you all for taking the time to read and respond to my post. Your support means a lot to me and will help me make an informed choice.

Warm regards,

You can't travel to the UK with your kids starting from Jan 2024 so I think you should focus on anada..

And if you really want the UK.. I hav a private university in the uk that has intake in Oct, Nov and Dec... which means.. if you can start now.. you can resume in any of dat month and move with ur dependents...

Generally, if your mind is off Nigeria.. den pls move...

DanielsParker:


What other route? I’m also considering relocating . Budget 5m

If relocation is on your mind, look for jobs abroad. If you had experience in a highly sort after position I am sure you can get a work sponsorship. You can also learn french and move to Canada through express entry. Dont waste your money on farming or anything. Once your 20 million, disappears poverty go nack you front, back, left and right. Convert your money to dollars while thinking so it doesn't lose more value.

[/b]I have seen lot of advises to learn French for Canada japa. Please can you elaborate, does learning French increase points. However, I gave up on PR due to my age, am 38 in the last year of my PhD. Can learning French renew my hope? Thanks[/b]

Hello fellow Nairalanders,

Age and career transition: Is starting anew in a foreign country feasible, considering my age and accounting background as my profession?

My friend and his wife once made such decision. I advised against it, they said that thier definition of success is THEIR KIDS SCHOOLING IN USA.
7 years down the line, one kid in university, others doing well in high school but parents have been living from hand to mouth.
There isn't anything you could do with accounting degree. You would surely start afresh with other jobs that feeds you and family without savings.
The kids enjoy free secondary education, you labour Latour Latour. If you are the kind that can't stand having savings per month, you might not survive it.
Go to oyo, osun, states or ilaro side in ogun state, get big farm land against next year.
You can farm up to 100 acres of cassava, under good farm manager( with help of locals too), you would make unimaginable profit after one year.
Invest the remaining money in little thing to feed family before the harvest starts.
Planting season starts March, buy land learn it next year start work

It baffles me how some of you think that money is the only reason why some people want to relocate. Too many kids on Nairaland, not the best place for advice.

Better don't waste your 20 million naira o

Thank you for this advice. I will think about your proposal and see how it will work for me. I honestly appreciate your time.

Please, if you have ideas on how someone can be a middleman in farming values chain. Please you can share. Thanks

Ade1907Ade:
Farming is a great business that you can venture into. It is what I have engaged in and it is profitable. I live in Ota, Ogun State, you can buy land for farming or better still, come to Covenant University farm, they have acres of land for rent yearly and they also have equipment that you can rent for farm. there is a company in Igbesa that will buy your harvest. I wish you best of luck and God's guidance.

I will strongly advise you to embark on this noble adventure if you have the opportunity. Please do not listen to anyone advising you to stay back. For instance, we have up to one million Nigerians that are resident in the United Kingdom. Despite all the shout about how tough it is to settle abroad, I cannot count up to 0.1% of these residents who have gone back to Nigeria. Be mindful that 0.1% of 1million is 1,000. I am waiting for anyone to provide contrary figures.

What you are contemplating is called Economic migration which is even practiced by citizens in developed countries. For instance, there are 1.3million Britons currently residing in E.U. countries. So many went for better economic opportunities despite being citizens of the 5th largest economy in the world.

I relocated with my family at the age of 45 and my life has been reinvented beyond my expectations. This is within three years!

What you require is discipline, persistence and focus. There are abundant opportunities in the developed countries. The economy of these developed countries is primarily driven by the Private sector. The economic value chain is unbelievable which gives room for novel job roles.

When you relocate, simply upskill/reskill etc. if you require a corporate job. However, you can still earn a decent living with blue collar jobs as a warehouse operative, care worker etc. These roles are in abundance and you can never be out of work. With your wife, the monthly bills can be shared. Honestly, you both can get by except you wish to live an extravagant life of alcohol and clubbing.

If you are coming to the U.K, please explore organisations like Tritech, itonlinelearning, stl-training etc. They train you in Project Management and prepare you for job interviews. They also provide work references as you will execute live projects with them. With this skill, you can easily attract jobs paying £250 per day.

-1 UK is out of it

Completely out of it... infact no even think am

-2 Canada might not give you visa because of your age except you can try and learn french and see if you can get express entry as a french speaker

Gbam!

-3 Other countries have language barrier and putting your wife and kids through that is something else o.

Oga your head dey dia

-4 I think your best bet is to learn french aggressively for the next one year and try to get to B2 level and try express entry

Although French is not an easy language when learning it for professional application, he may end up with blue collar jobs in Quebec, but that is his best bet. However his children will be the main beneficiaries of such a move.
