Is Going To Cyprus Worth Quiting My Job For? by ksbusari(m): 11:25pm On Jan 25, 2019 |
I have an opportunity to travel to Cyprus but my problem is I know nothing about Cyprus. I'm a father of one, a lecturer in one private college of Education in Osun State. I just want to seek a greener pastures but would Cyprus be a great place to go? is going to Cyprus worth quiting my job for? Thinking of Furthering my education by opting for my PhD (well as a consolation) before I come back. my intention really is wanting to live a better life. |

As long as you get a good job doing over there, forget that old saying about "no place like home" cos it really doesn't include if you are from Nigeria.. Everywhere is better than Nigeria presently. 7 Likes |

op you see that rubbiish guy, there is a bit of truth in what he's saying. I have two friends in cyprus, they said things are hard somehow, most Nigerian students are doing yahoo. You can take your time and read about Cyprus threads on NL very well before u take that step. 3 Likes |

ksbusari: Anyway, now that I have let the ignorant people have their say, I can now advise you. Cyprus is divided into two. The South is the internationally recognized state. North Cyprus was annexed by a 1974 Turkish invasion and has no international recognition. Many Nigerians are being fooled to head to North Cyprus, which is a dead zone. South Cyprus has three booming industries: financial services, shipping/logistics and hospitality (seasonal). If you want to succeed in Cyprus, pick up skills you can use in these sectors. I have a professional qualification which enables me consult for companies in their financial services industry so I should know better. Forget the "there are no jobs" bullshit. There will never be jobs for the unskilled, be it in US, UK, Europe is even in Naija. If you have the requisite skills, you will make it. We even have many Nigerian footballers plying their league. 6 Likes |

Dear op, I have come... allow me to open your eyes about T.R.N.C or North Cyprus. 1. If you can't speak Turkish, "You will Suffer" especially if you claim to have a job there. English is scarcely spoken there, so the only people who do are mostly foreigners. 2. The currency unit in Cyprus is the Turkish lira, and the maximum you will get paid is 2800-3000TL which is about 500usd assuming the exchange rate is 5.4tl- 1usd (and I am talking about the maximum wage) ... Let's do a lil bit of economics, from that 3000TL at least 700TL will go for your rent and bills per month, at least 800TL for monthly feeding it could be more if you eat healthily and visit restaurants, you will definitely make calls to your family so at least 120TL monthly for international call and data package on Turkcell, other miscellaneous expenses I will chuck down to 400TL per month, it could be more it could be less, now you are left with 1000TL which is barely 200usd, that's what you get to send at the end of running your pay. Is it worth it? 3. Prepare for bouts of Racial profiling by the locals especially if you are not a student, a very common scenario in North Cyprus. 4. As much as Cyprus is a very beautiful island in General, You will be going to a globally disputed and illegal Island... put that in mind. 5. The sun there is on another level, it can roast you alive during summers (I experienced 46°c once) so if your job makes you work outside... May God protect your hussle. 6. You can't self sponsor your university tuition with the salary of your job there esp for a PHD program except you get a scholarship... it's impossible, why? Because you get paid in Liras while the tuition fees are usually in hard currency. 7. North Cyprus is like an Annex of Turkey, so expect a Turkish layout, not a European layout. 8. Everything is expensive there I.e Island price. 9. Most professional jobs are reserved for their nationals so your job is most likely going to be a blue collar job. 10. Flirt with a Cypriot lady and you are dead. 11. Expect a society that has settings which do not support integration. 12. Yahoo boys are very common, mostly Nigerians. 13. You will have to work very hard... three times the effort you do in Nigeria, oh I need to inform you of something called Mesai-overtime, that is where you will see work, Turkish people love work. 2 Likes
