ShyWhale:Well I would advice you try Canada.Express Entry, your age is a great blessing, I wish I was your age now. You still have at least 5 years to manoeuver and get your footing. Don't get married yet in my humble opinion. Your views about a suitable partner may likely change over the next few years also. I left Nigeria last quarter of 2017 for Canada, and I see lots of success stories. I am counting down to my citizenship application, which is sometimes next year. I love Nigeria, I still nurture great plans to be back and contribute my quota , however, I will secure my self and family first....via citizenship. i have made it clear to my wife, I wil be back to Naija. I am also counting down on my mortgage, as I am six months old already, and have reduced the mortgage duration to 18 yrs by overpaying. . Going to Nigeria, It is not completely a bad idea, but you must conduct your SWOT analysis, and understand the weakness and threats. If you will decide to go back to Nigeria, make sure you have at the very least in the neighborhood of 20 million naira , roughly 50,000 euros as savings that you are bringing back. When you are in naija, you can invest close to half in treasury bills and bonds to guarantee living wage , while you navigate the business world. It is tough but doable..... 8 Likes 1 Share |

To chime in, as someone who lives and engages in business in Nigeria, I can candidly advice you to get another citizenship before moving back. Doing business here is VERY tough. Not to say that people are not successful but there is a vast difference between business plans and reality. You are just in your 20s. You come across as smart and focused. You can (legally) move to Canada or Australia via one of the skilled immigration pathways, try to get a professional job as you desire waiting the 3 to 5 years to get your passport. I wouldn’t advice you to marry the woman that you’re not even attracted to because of UK citizenship. No one deserves that. In summary, keep trying to get a professional job while your German permit is still active. Start the application process for Canada or Australia. Move there and do your best. Yes, it’s tough to get a professional job without Canadian experience but it’s NOT impossible. You can also start a business there. You mentioned agriculture. There are provinces in Canada that are rich in Agric opportunities plus they have supportive government schemes and grants to support. If you are still dreaming of Nigeria, that’s a good thing, keep working on your plan. Test our certain aspects remotely and move back AFTER you have your second passport. All the best.

1. Get a second citizenship first. Do not, repeat NOT come back to Nigeria without it, if you are considering coming back. 2. If you can get that from Germany, I think you shouldn't marry the UK lady. 3. Otherwise try Canada or Australia PR. At 25, you're lucky - you're well educated, damn young and you have options and time to see what these options can yield. 4. Repeat: DO NOT COME BACK TO NIGERIA WITHOUT A SECOND CITIZENSHIP. 4 Likes |

ShyWhale: If you have enough , why don't you try importing tokunbo cars from Germany to Nigeria and ask a trusted relation or dealer to help you sell while monitoring things from there The car section on nairalanders is filled with lots of gurus you can learn from. That way you can still keep doing your menial jobs and raising money to return to naija. You can also learn digital and tech skill which will enable you earn online from home. t least you will have the foreign residency to your advantage. Go through nairaland and be prayerful , your way will open this year by Gods grace. 3 Likes |

Re: Should I Move To The UK Or Return To Nigeria? by Babyvet: 6:16pm On May 14, 2019 |
Beautyaddy: Not true , menial jobs require a lot of hard work so laziness is not the problem. Honestly in the US, I have seen a Nigerians have different jobs from cleaner to business owners. The opportunities are there because of capitalism. But the US is tightening up their immigration. In more socialist countries like U.K. or Canada , opportunities are even difficult for the native borne citizens, so will it be harder for immigrants . The U.K. is tightening up their immigration , marrying a U.K. does not grants automatic status. In the Canada it’s easier to get papers but it well documentated that immigrants especially Africans work below their qualifications even in the long run . 2 Likes 1 Share |

ShyWhale: That menial jobs is better than coming to Nigeria except maybe your family is rich here in Nigeria . You have only spent less than 5 years in Germany , it takes time to settle in Europe because they have a very skilled workforce that you have to compete with. My brother stay back and hustle your life there and get your residency before you plan coming to Nigeria Don't be deceive, Nigeria is terrible and a third world country of which you don't know what will happen in a second in Nigeria . We Africans have this entitlement mentality that if you get a degree you must see a with collar jobs. Blue collars jobs is the key to advanced economy . The minimum wage is good for the menial jobs, for the future of your kids . Please do not come back bro 1 Like 1 Share |

Australia, Canada even Uk if you can get a job.., little money you get from menial jobs you get could be channeled into trying other countries skilled migration programs.

Oskydaniellyyy: His future is not going to be bright if works menial jobs. Who told you that menails jobs pay like that? He is going to be spending the money where he lives.

Babyvet: No necessary true. It depends on how much is being paid from that menial jobs and how much hours with overtime they are willing to work for. |
Re: Should I Move To The UK Or Return To Nigeria? by Oskydaniellyyy: 6:34pm On May 14, 2019 |
Babyvet: Do not be deceived , people that come back to naija are rich kids of which their parents will fund their marriages, give them apartments without rents, give them security assurance ( money , business contacts and many more ). 500k salary in Naija can never sustain you when you start raising kids and your family will be on you if you are not from average family . Germany is free schools and health care for you kids. Do you know how much is a decent school in naija and decent accomodation. It is easier to take loan in Germany as time the goes on to start your own company. No such facility in Nigeria . He is still a very young man he will never do the menial jobs all his life . 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Ohraykon: No, I never said the Naija based girls were better. My point was that do NOT marry any girl in the west or do NOT marry a girl in Naija and bring her to the west....she will ruin your life and make you miserable unless you really wanna be a slave. If you don't always put her on a pedestal she will file domestic violence against your as.s....Women, by nature, are Selfish and Evil! 3 Likes |

lilwetdick:There is no point arguing with you. You believe whatever you want to believe. US, Canada, UK, Australia, they are no heaven but if you work hard, you will make money. The problem with some Nigerians here is that they lack professional skills and are quick to settle for less. I have wanted to help two gentlemen here but their CVs alone were so disappointing that I didn't even bother responding back to them. 80% of Nigerians here lack viable technical skills and they don't even want to learn. If you want to make money here, it's either you go into health sector or IT industry. Other than these, you are on your own here! 1 Like |
