I wrote about this before. You need 3 things before you japa...age is not really one of them. 1. You need a Brain...You have to be smart, have initiative, be willing to adjust, return to school, take additional training and be willing to allow time to grow into where you want to be. If you are dumb, please save yourself the trouble...the odd jobs will frustrate you and age you faster. 2. You need a good heart...If you are already sick or dealing with some ailments, you should rethink because the kind of jobs you will do initially will stress you a lot. You might not be on insurance and you definitely dont want to rely on Emergency. If you are out of a job due to illness, you might not be paid...which is why people work till they drop dead. Think twice 3. Support ...If you have a good family or funds to support yourself or people it will also help you. If you marriage is not strong, it will be gone. Once the support is gone and you cant support yourself...then the body will go with it mentally and physically...and then your heart or vice versa. Usefulsense: 1 Like 1 Share |

Benjamin4388: Exactly oh because they believe in making others subservient to them so they can keep the big-manship cycle cycling. Awon ti o serious, they will now come and say making #200k per month in Nigeria is better than earning £2k in the UK. People wey no sabi wetin dey. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

Gerrard59:As much as I agree with you, I think you and others who make this argument underestimate the significance of this. The fact that he has more naira spending power is an enormous advantage now and later in life. This simply means that the option to relocate back to Nigeria to continue living a much better life at a cheaper rate remains open to him. Even if he has no plans to come later to Nigeria, the fact that the option remains open is a great advantage. On the contrary, not every oyinbo person can do the same. They are not Nigerian citizens and they don't know how Nigeria works. But for the Nigeria who earns in dollars or whatever currency and lives abroad, if he gets too tired of life over there, he can pack his bags, take this dollar savings, relocate back to Nigeria, and automatically become 3-4x richer than average. He can probably buy houses in a good neighbourhood and resume a better life in Nigeria. The option remains forever open as long as he maintains his Nigerian citizenship/passport. It doesn't matter if or when he'll do it. You don't understand the great advantage this is, until you hear about Americans who are paying enormous amounts to relocate to Portugal or Thailand just so they can avoid Uncle Sam's break-neck taxes and live a more affordable life. As a Nigerian, you don't even have to think it that deep. The option is just there waiting for you anytime you need it. 12 Likes |

Treadway:the biggest motive I have for wanting to travel has little to do with money. It is rest of mind and serenity for training my kids. There are big question marks about the future of Nigeria. We can just wake up one day and be gunned down by armed men or our ridiculous earnings further subjected to more misery by artificial inflation. The few who hold sway don't care if the rest of us perish. I won't be here when the waters get murky. If I am on the other side and things somehow gets better in Nigeria, I will of course be glad and felicitate with Nigerians but I am at my break point. I don't see any hope in sight and I won't wait to see either 7 Likes 2 Shares |

NuCypher:on the assumption that naira is still shit in 2,5,10 years time. Fortunately/unfortunately that could very well change with the right policies and leadership. What happens then? I am holding the bulk of my savings in USD and I currently have a pessimistic outlook to Nigeria, but I'm not stupid to arrogantly block off the possibility that naira could appreciate with the right policies at any time. If I as much as read news of at least two refineries (Dangote and at least one other) being truly operational lasan, you can bet I'm selling that dollar stash pronto, cos I know what that portends/means. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Gerrard59: Oga Gerrard I disagree. Even if he's not returning to Nigeria, he will be BETTER ABLE to cater for extended family dependents. Ask any high income person in Nigeria, the demands or duties of catering to the mass population of poor people is crushing. Just talk to the ones you know and they will tell you. It takes a lot of resources and income. And he may indeed be returning to Nigeria. Even someone like me as hostile as I am to the idea, I can't completely rule it out. It might just happen due to changing circumstances. Oga Gerrard come on now! Good Luck to Nigerians |

Matheusmartin: Start now. Time no dey o. 45 is the maximum age limit for a single person to migrate to Australia, except you have a partner whose age is below 45 who can serve as the main applicant. Anything above 45, you need a job sponsorship to sponsor you. In the case of Op, it was possible for him cuz of his wife who was already there, that's why the age didn't affect him. So, better start making plans now if you really want to cuz age is still on your side. 4 Likes |
