Should I Keep My Job Or Travel To The UK by mistacoco2: 6:31pm On Dec 31, 2023 |
Hello guys, For some days now I have been on a serious dilemma whether to resign from my federal government job that pays me above N200k for my current position and migrate to the UK or stay in naija and set up a business to augment my salary. I will be 34 years next year, I feel traveling to the uk for studies next year September will delay my chances of getting married, as I have planned not exceeding 34 years without getting married. I belong to the school of thought that believes can make it in Nigeria despite all odds. However, considering the economic realities of the country, I have recently contemplating of japa and maybe get a Nigerian lady for marriage after my studies. Please I earnestly need matured advice from you guys to know how to start the coming year. 16 Likes 4 Shares |

Forget marriage. Marriage is NEVER late for men. If you have the money, LEAVE Nigeria. Don't even think twice. There's no reason to stay in Nigeria unless you are part of the cabals. 175 Likes 13 Shares |

Brother, go for your studies, you can marry when you are through. It's not easy to marry, keep the woman lonely here and go there studying. And it's not also easy securing visa for her when she isn't coming to do anything there. Or packing your family down there. More expenses and workload. Take your time with studies, study a hot course, get employed there. If you see a white girl, impregnate her and get double citizenship. $ will never stop running in your account 57 Likes 3 Shares |

If you have the means Japa. By the time u get married on that salary u ll realise it's not much. Unless, u ll get a lady equally working and can augment Ur salary. Factors like Ur present grade level matters too. If u are around 12, u may need to reconsider japa because of Ur prospects. 32 Likes |

why are you running? You are in a federal government job, why arent you patient to climb the leader and reach the top, everything takes times Why run to the uk and be stagnant Building your career in your government job is better than moving to the uk. in the UK, you will be stagnant and wont get social network and career progression like you do in Nigeria Eveeything takes time but i will rather be in Nigeria with my federal job, move up the ladder, improve on myself, build my social network, retire and get a good pension why waste your time in the Uk living an average life 118 Likes 7 Shares |

You should consider your future in terms of comfort and education before you even consider marriage on the same scale. Its more reasonable if you maintain your job, save and establish a business... But if you want to hit the risk bigger, you may quite your job but proceed to the UK. 7 Likes |

AfahaAbia:But success is all about running after or pursuing money through lifetime? I am sorry to say ure in the category of young Nigerians that need proper orientation about life mission. Some of them are into yahoo yahoo here pursuing money without purpose while the few educated are pursuing japa without direction. Early raising of children (if ure not a papa) is worthwhile for those who understand the purpose of marriage. Although it is meaningless to those who believes they can just pick a white girl to impregnate in order to get a foreign citizenship. Before you tell me something about poverty, it only exist in your mind or imagination. 38 Likes 7 Shares |

This is what I think. Every passing administration in Nigeria have only worsened the state of the country. Do you wanna remain in this situation? Do you have job satisfaction and do you earn enough after deduction monthly expenses from your salary to save at least 300- 500k? If not.. Leave Nigeria. Marrying will make your savings dip further every month. You will be under pressure and that wouldn't be nice. Plan to leave Nigeria to Australia or Canada or even the USA.. I don't like UK but it's a matter of choice. One thing is certain, after you gain stability in these countries and you know what you are doing. You will save at least 1k dollars monthly after expense. You can pick a wife from Nigeria, try to get a nice woman for yourself now. So she go through the phase with you in prayers and to support you with words of encouragement. My reason for choosing Canada especially is because it is easier to gain stability and immigration documents faster. UK and Australia ain't bad either. When you finally finish your one or two year program. Come back to Nigeria and marry your fiancee that would have been with you during this phase and begin to process her papers. She will join you as dependant. She will also work and add to your savings as one family. While she is in Nigeria waiting for you to get done with school. She should enrol in programs that would prepare her for the new country in relevant trade. Hair making, etc. If you happen to get a medically inclined lady, it is an advantage to your progress. Age shouldn't rush you into marrying now. Proper plan and execution will be worth your wait. May God direct you. 42 Likes 3 Shares |

Namaster:of course he will be one of the cabals or was connected by one of the cabals. Because, only connection will give a 34yrs(if true) above 200k federal job when their are federal professors, medical and teachers etc in their 50's , 60's still earning less than 100k or a little abv 100k. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Don't give yourself hypertension. Do your calculations first to know if your current income can sustain a small family in this economy and still afford you a business of your own. If yes get married and start a family. If no, go further in your studies abroad, get a better job then look for a wife and marry. If you choose to go abroad make sure you already have a job and accommodation waiting so you don't get stranded and start regretting your move. 4 Likes |
