If you are asking here that means yiu are not ready.
Do not take hash decision. Regardless of how much money you might have saved in Nigeria, you still need to plan it. I onow you are not retiring because you said quit notice which means you are resigning from your job with not future benefits. Why not consider relocation within Canada asI know that is easy to do.
Please think of the future impact on your family.
I am not saying Nigeria is a place not to live as eventually we all prayed of moving home one day, but it needs serious planning.
Good luck with any of your decision.

Its called myias and they use it in place of sharp sand for block making. I recently bought some to make sandcrete floor. Its to be mixed with granite and cement. Mine is finer without stones. I will post a picture later.

Oga Qc1, I'd hold on to my job for now.

I suspect there maybe a severance package tied to a deadline, maybe not.

Is a leave of absence on offer?. Leave without pay?.

Here's the reason I ask. Nigeria is a society with dynamics like you've not experienced in recent times. A good many wise men here have adviced that it is prudent to look well before you leap. A plan B and C must also be in the offing.

Buddy of mine in the same canada made the mistake of relocating at the wrong time. He is no longer with us. Guess who sent him to the land of no return?, his own family. Why you ask?, because he took interest in the rent on his property hirtherto enjoyed by these folks.

You see my brother, Nigeria is a difficult terrain populated by unconscionable and morally repugnant people.

As it stands, the economy is very bad. Unless you have saved or made good money, and have a foolproof business plan, please think it over.

You can also phase your move to Nigeria. 3 months in 3 months out until you've worked out exactly what it is you will do in Nigeria on a permanent basis.

It's good to want that reunion with mrs Qc1. What responsible man wouldn't?. But, if prospects and pocket dry, my broda, na there pesin go know say dem no dey chop love.

EgunMogaji:


This is why I've been reluctant to get into rental developments.

Demainman1:


You also forgot to let us know that your popsy is a very rich man and well connected for Lagos so you can afford to take the risk of returning to naija with little or no consequences to you financially.

Poor man pickin will not even entertain such thought in the present day Nigeria.

Qc1:





Okay....I know you know me, may I know you too?

Thanks.

fash78:

QC1 and ice4u99 you guys are my neighbors na. We all be Albertans.

Demainman1:


Qc1, it was only a calculated guess but I am always right about these things. Clap for me.

Anyway being away since 1992 is no joke. If you must, go home and enjoy your retirement brother. My only worry is with this unserious present regime.

Home is the best. I love Nigeria of old.

This is all wrong. There should never be anything urgent about a move to 9ja.

Unless you are taking up a lucrative employment in 9ja with excellent perks, you need to arrange accommodation and a regular source of income.

My initial thoughts along this lines was in 2007 and it took until 2015 to bring it to fruition.

In the last year I finally managed to survive entirely on my 9ja income save for my foreign trips abroad.

You pay for everything. School fees, car runing, fuel for gen and others, house keeping, feeding, extended family etc.

Going to 9ja is not the issue. The question is have you managed your expectations, how realistic and prepared are you.

Qc1:


^^^

sorry , I don't buy that buddy. Spill it out Mr. "Lagbaja"!


Okay.....I will buy you a beer, who are you? ...

Bongos Ikwue was born in Oturkpo, Benue State on 6th of June 1942 ... but then I thought that was Benue Plateau.
Yes, I know Sonny Okosun... that is why I said the "Papas Land" guy. Can you believe I still have their records? I mean LPs.
"Fire in Soweto" is also one of my favorite. Good singers in their days...
OK.. Back on topics... more info on doors thread o..

Isn't Oturkpo now present Edo abi na delta ?

Eng abouzaid, we do use this material for concrete batching expecially for bungalows foundation and lintel in suleja and it gives certifactory results.

But it is not really desirable for concrete where higher strength is required because of it dust content.

That coarse aggregates is called all in one aggregates and can only be use for bungalow where high strength is not desired.

Qc1:

Thanks my Oga. BTW I'll love to invite you to a party in Lagos, if it's not too much to ask. I'm going to be in Staten Island next month, would you like to meet in the zoo (Bronx)?

mavverick:
Talking of LP's, does anyone still listen to them ?
My dad does have a lot of it, but I dont know if they are still salvageable, the sight of the turn table does bring back some good old memories. If not for the b**stard asshats who stole our LP complete system back in Lagos.

Qc1:


EgunMogaji...you have to look at the prospect too! We ain't getting younger everyday!

It’s mighty easy to justify dishonesty if you make your living from it.

The subconscious mind makes no moral judgments. If you tell yourself something over and over, your subconscious mind will eventually accept even the most blatant lie as fact. Those whose lives and careers have been destroyed by dishonest behavior began the process of self-destruction when they convinced themselves that one slight infraction of the rules wouldn’t matter. When you sell yourself on an idea, make sure the idea is positive, beneficial to you, and harmless to others. Just as negative thoughts and deeds return to their originator, so do positive ones. When you practice honest, ethical behavior, you set in motion a force for good that will return to you many times over.


Good morning from Central time
