Run to Canada run to Canada, if trump insist on this his new taflrrif idea old boy Canada don cast. I will advice you go into buying and selling anything that won't make you too much dependant on staffs and nepa. Then you are good. But that your 9m will vanish if you go into water business. I know its Canada you want to , but it might interest you to know that with 9m and no debt, you are richer than 25% of Americans . Think about 6 Likes |

eezeribe:I totally object to buying and selling. I will suggest a service rendering kind of biz. If you're in Lagos, think about Keke transportation biz. One keke sells for 640k, plate number and other logistics will take the total cost to almost 700k after wish ur Keke can hit the road for their money. Having said that, if u invest 7million to put 10 Keke on the road on an hire purchase agreement, each will give u 1m after 14 months ,profit from each will be 300k. Imagine 300k *10 Keke, in 14 months u will have both ur investment capital and a total profit of 3m. This is legit. I am into it and it's cool. If u ask me, I think 3 million naira profit on an investment of 7 million for 14 months is not bad. Remember, patience and discipline is key to succeed in this biz and I'm sure the op has it. 2 Likes |

Appliedmaths:Baba, you too much for this tip. I wonder why a banker like him couldn't even forget the money in the money market and go home to sleep and let the money work for him because 9 million yield on any T.Bills Tenor alone is big money payout. The guy should really put this into consideration. It's the reason they often say, the rich gets richer and poor gets poorer. 1 Like 1 Share |

With your determination please continue to save up till 15 million. Pure water business are not sustainable so think of toothpick or polystrene food packs. Canada will only Favour you based on the skills you have attained here and being in a bank for some many years I am not sure how marketable your current skills are. |

Some one mentioned Treasury Bills...you can invest One million in that... 500k or another one million..is a lot of money to be put inside mini import that can generate 3million or more in one year..if you thread well. I love the idea of Canada so don't kill it...am just saying spread your risks.. apply for Canada while your still working..while doing the above suggestions..so that before the application is ready Iluv made a lot more..at the same time spreading your risk to be safe..but it Canada show...cut out |

Re: Travelling To Canada And Starting A Pure Water Business In Nigeria. by Nobody: 3:24pm On Jun 02, 2018 |
Op, Buy Treasury bills or Mutual money funds, Let the money work for you, You could also go to Canada and study while you get your pay out when when it matures or stay back and sleep in the house and still get your pay out upon maturity. The only work you need to do is get a credible account officer. I'm surprised you a banker and don't know about this. Money market investment is the reason, The rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. |

I hope you get a good advice. For me, I would be more inclined to relocate. However, What I will say is don't be in a haste. Gather as much info as possible. Things continue to change and opportunities come up every day. Purewater business is seriously poluting the environment. I hope a technology replaces it someday. But please advice us too. How did you manage to save up to 9m? How many years have you worked? Did it all come from your salary or you have other sources of income? Did you just leave your money in a savings account or you invested it in such things like fixed deposit, FGN bonds, etc? Please advice us. Thanks. 1 Like |

Masters in Canada no not right away,It seems you haven't heard of the Express Entry program that if you get gives you permanent residency and then you can pay the same school fees as a citizen and ultimately can apply to become a Canadian citizen in 3years. Google is your friend fortunately there is a thread on Nairaland for that follow that link you must be willing to read and ask informed questions to be abet to DIY I advice you DYOR. https://www.nairaland.com/4212543/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled#62945314 Nothing is cast in stone,My advice will be hold on to your job first take your time to research and study both prospects and weigh your options. My personal advice would be do the EE Program and give yourself another option in a saner Country that doesn't have the drama that comes with Nigeria and it's corrupt Leaders but then that's just me,Some people have the dodgeness and unwavering believe to stay on and make it here in Nigeria.Different strokes different people. At the end of the day,I pray the spirit guides you to make the best decision for your life. All the best. 3 Likes |

moststylish: They cannot burst that route that's why they are advising USA to scrutinise people they give visa to come to USA. Part of that arrangement is having Canadian official as part of USA official to interview anyone coming to USA. If you pass that interview and you find your way to USA, nobody can stop you from entering Canada. |

papascode: Lets chat as pals. I currently live in Canada and by God's grace a full time permanent employee of the govt. I came in for masters - U of Waterloo back in 2012. Before then I was in lagos hustling big gtime. Had one of the best results from oau - first class - but no job after nysc. So here's my 2 cents: You are 35yrs old and have N9m and currently employed. If u relocate here, it will take u almost 5yrs to be stable - School, job, PR, etc... That's for sure. So unless u r willkng to spend another 5yrs to do all these, stay at home bro. You claim to have 9m. If i had 2m back then I swear f***k abroad. I'd stay at home. Many people don't have half of ur money yet they are doing perfectly well. Why would u want to throw that away? If you are not getting promotions at work, improve urself with qualifications. With 9m my network of business and social connections go badt pass anything. Improve ur network. Roll with people who would give u better job opportunities. At 35yrs + N9m u wan go start from the scratch in a strange land ? Your momsy no dey follow u talk? Shouldn't u be planning on settling down? Canada is best for young people coming in before 27yrs...anything later, u 'll be delayed (settling in) by almost 5yrs if u r lucky. So do the arothmetic bros. Cheers. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

@OP I think you made the first mistake to come here seeking advice. I have read all the comments and I’m not surprise with the comments here. I would drop some things here, but I don’t know if it would help you. - Your N9m is relatively not much. However, if you are resilient you can convert that money to an empire. - You already have a Masters, why go for another Masters again in Canada. If you are looking at education as a means to immigrate, please note there are other ways to immigrate to Canada apart from Education. What many people don’t tell you is the pains they go through during schooling. You don’t need to go through that stress to immigrate since you have a masters and why would an Employer employ an individual with 2 Masters. He seems confused academically or too expensive as a staff. The average highest degree in Canada is Bachelors and Canada is big on experience rather than academics. Canada is also big on soft skills than technical skills. If you want to immigrate, please note that you have to be prepared. You cannot escape Bills as it’s being done in Nigeria. Also, you cannot get rich quick or get rich at all, but you may afford the basic things of life which is treasured as Gold in Nigeria. You cannot oppress anyone abroad materially because the average Jones on the street is just like you and basically has everything you have. The only people you can impress is Nigerians in Nigeria or illegal immigrants. Nobody send you for abroad. So that Nigerian mentality of getting rich is useless. - On the other hand, the business environs in Nigeria is tough and comes with challenges. I cannot tell you to go and do business because only you would face the challenge. First, You need to sit down and evaluate your life. You seem dissatisfied. It’s normal. Do you want to switch job. If you get a job as a permanent staff, would you be more happy? If that’s the case, then start looking for a job. If you claim you don’t have time, then you don’t want another job. Also, another question you should be asking yourself - why do you want to start a business? Do you have the entrepreneurial skills? Do you have the ability to be resilient when there are challenges? Are you a good sales man? Do you have people skills and can you manage people and motive them positively? Do you hate working for others? If these are your question, then start your business. If you cannot answer these questions, your N9m will go down the drain and put you under pressure. Finally if you are considering the immigration route - why do you want to immigrate? Do you want to switch career or environment? Are you a flexible person that can adapt? Are you willingly to change your opinion? Can you integrate properly? There is no money to pick on the streets in the western world? You actually work thoroughly for every hour and on the hour? The Canada you want to run to still operates the Contract worker stuff. In fact it’s a normal practice, but as a contractor, you may earn more or less depending on your skill set, experience and the need for your skill. So you maybe running away from being a contract staff only to end up being another contract staff. It’s just a Nigerian perception crap and poor labour law that makes contract staff look like stench. I have written more than I initially prepare to. 18 Likes 1 Share |
