ibolord: I have businesses in Ghana so live there off and on. Its a great place to make legitimate money quickly if you have the capital for investment. Just save up the money made back home here in Nigeria and it would be similar to the speed of making money in USA. Whites and black Americans, British, Canadians, Russians etc are everywhere in Ghana and you can even find them in so called remote villages there. Only lazy Nigerians or the criminally minded Nigerians would claim Ghana is hard. My Children school in Ghana and their level of Brilliance always amazes me. Ghana being a majorly tourist nation is focused on keeping a good image and order and it works. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Stop wasting time seeking advice from people who have never travelled or experienced what it meant to be living abroad. No country wants you as a single parent even if you have a required skills and your kids won't have opportunity beyond secondary education. You will not be granted valid immigration papers to enable you settle down to work apart from the cost of taking care of your two kids. Things have changed now and thus the reasons many immigrants are now illegal and the shame of coming back to Nigeria is a big burden to bear. Besides, you need a valid documents and reasons to secure a travelling visa to your preferred destination. But if you choose to relocate travelling through the Deserts, Borders Agents, Traffickers etc,then you're doomed as they will collect your money, raped and sold you off as a sex slaves. However, the choice is yours. 3 Likes |

4mykids: Might be better getting a good job in a West African country.. Ghana or simply another part of the country. What you're considering is rather momentous... I'm yet to find anyone who has singlehandedly relocated with children successfully with no sob story...with no family support in place as you are suggesting. Your children are scarred post-divorce, don't add other scars of sudden relocation, poor fit at schools neighbourhood bullies you will not notice initially as you're often away at work, substandard housing and joining neighbourhood gangs. In addition to these well known vices, what about cases of transactional sex:---often seen but not spoken of in African communities.. Everyone in Church or mosque knows Uncle so-and-so is only helping financially due to the "favours" he gets in the oza room. Another flavour is county-lining where pre-teens are encouraged to disappear from home to sell drugs in another town. These kids are targeted from poor backgrounds which unfortunately you may fall into if not adequately prepared or with confirmed job prospects.. In all madam, not to sound like a scaremonger:think am wellllllllll... If you are insistent on going, consider getting family support wherever it may be otherwise I hope you won't come on here in a few months bemoaning. I really wish you well but want you to perform your due diligence. Suffering and smiling is everywhere, it only varies in the type of scars it leaves :-physical or emotional!!! . 3 Likes |

Madam,your decision is good. I just came back from London. My short visit there made me realise how backward this country is. Think of UK,Australia,Canada, Germany. Turkey is even far advanced than this country. By advanced,I mean better education and exposure for your kids. Nigeria is a mess. I can't wait to leave here permanently. 5 Likes |

4mykids:I have an idea why you want to move away from here.... Right now you're very vulnerable and not in the right frame of mind to take good and informed decisions. Secondly, the probability that you're going to fall into the hands of scammers and dupes is 95%. My candid and honest advice... Take all your time and don't be in a hurry to move. You can try the option of relocating to another state(You can do well to tell where you are now) and start up something that can engage you while you gradually sort out any travel arrangements if you still feel there's a need to. Once again do not be in a hurry to travel abroad and be wary of wolves in sheep clothing. They're all over the place including NAIRALAND. Shalom 2 Likes |

4mykids: If you have a good paying job in Nigeria then you are about to play the biggest gamble ever with your life and that of your kids which could either be a win or an irreparable loss. As someone living outside the shore's of Nigeria, my experiences and challenges within the first 2 years of relocating wasn't such a bumpy ride because I did a comprehensive research of the country before I eventually made my decision to leave for good. I had my uni-friends in the U.S that where single then and willing to accommodate me until I was able to be on my own which I will forever be grateful for. It is tough to settle in a foriegn land as an individual let alone coming over with kids with virtually no arrangements of accommodation for a considerable time frame (1-2yrs) before you start gaining some grounds. No amount of money you travel out of Nigeria with relocation in view as a salary earner will sustain you except if you are going on an already planned vacation. God forbid you or any of you kids falls ill and you have no medical insurance like here in United States then you will have to pay your medical bill out of pocket with the minimum in most cases being $1500 - $2000 (writing from personal experience) which is a huge drain to your wallet which wasn't envisaged. Relocating is always better when you are embarking on this adventure alone because there are lots of uncertainties on the way which will almost break you, then imagine exposing your kids to such uncertainties. Sadly, 3 known close friends of mine back then in Nigeria with high paying jobs relocated with their family to the US and they are now badly broke because getting a job without SSN and a work authorization is pretty hard and it is even harder getting under the table jobs depending on the state where you relocated to. My advice to you is this, don't gamble by quitting your job and now embark on an adventure you don't know what's on the other side. First, go on a vacation alone, make your observations first hand and them make an informed decision based on the informations and knowledge gathered during your solo visit. Best of luck. 11 Likes 3 Shares |

Re: A Single Mum Wants To Relocate Abroad, Needs Ideas by Nobody: 4:17pm On Jun 16, 2019 |
Flytime: You seem to be one of those carried away by this hype of so called developed countries. There is absolutely no country in the world that is "developed" as it were. We are all developing. Its just that some are ahead of others on the development index. Technology evolves and as long as it keeps evolving, even the so called "developed" are still developing 6 Likes |
