I have a different view about this... People relocate to other countries for various reasons... Those that I know migrated to Canada because of the quality of life which can't be compared to what we have here in Nigeria. Lemme us my family's experience, my wife works with one of the big 4 audit firms and several of her colleagues have relocated to either UK, USA or Canada.. as with all things, when u get to a new location, you need to do certain things to fit into their society. Accountants in Nigeria wanting to migrate to Canada are usually advised to write CPA, CIA or CFA. Our local ICAN is not recognised there.. I have also seen doctors in Nigeria work as medical assistants in UK because they could not pass PLAB and other required medical professional exams. To the aspect of saving, like it has been said here by pa Emmanuel and ahib... If u don't have a saving culture in Nigeria, it would be very difficult to save abroad because the system there does not encourage saving, rather it encourages credit system and if you are not self disciplined. You won't save a dime.. There's a story/thread of a young man that saved quite a lot of money doing menial jobs in Canada. Cc tundednut NIGHTLIFE100: 6 Likes |

You seem not to understand what the guy is saying I am based here in Canada the grass is not always greener on the other side. Making it here is not a walk in the park. Also if u have kids they are expose to all sorts of unethical sexual doctrine. I will also take my kids back to Nigeria for secondary school education, until the university level. Whatever you choose think right. Even investment in Canada e get as e be. 2%. Meanwhile here in Nigeria u can get better investment. Even the yeye Canadian dollars no dey rise against the naira that much compared to US to naira . Guys make we go back to TB bills jor. seunpinky: 5 Likes |

Olaide1295: I see you took out a loan in order to invest. That was probably not the wisest decision you could have made. please pay off that loan first before investing. Secondly ,agric tech is still a very new area. the risk is high. however you are young enough to recover if the untoward happens. I must commend your interest in investing. if you avoid common mistakes,you will go far. 11 Likes |

missjekyll: The loan is at about 15%(effective interest is less since i'm paying monthly) while the investment yields 30% in 9 months. I took the loan in January and have paid back 300k now. The goal is to use debt to finance my investments. I am not from a wealthy background so when i made my first big money two years ago, i invested the entirety in building a student hostel in Ibogun for OOU students. (I thought real-estate will never let me enter poverty again) The house is not 100% complete though but it gives me a measly 600K annual instead of the projected 1.2M. I regret the investment as its neither liquid or giving good returns. Agric tech is insured though. I will risk it for two years and start looking to see if i can hedge/double insure it from the third year. 5 Likes |

As someone who have lived abroad for up to 20yrs, i will advise you to stay back in Nigeria and invest that money in your business if you are into business, if you are not into business you can invest it in MMF and continue to do what gave you the 15M, abroad is not always rosy as most people in Nigeria think. afroxyz: 9 Likes 1 Share |

Of course you can keep buying USD but at a reasonable rate, if you find dollar at anything less than N400/$ buy. One thing this government cannot do is reverse depreciation, even if they pump the whole reserve into the black market, the value of the Naira getting back to usual will not be achieved. The Naira will keep depreciating until CBN intervenes to add some stability. The last depreciation burnt me hard. globalresource: 5 Likes |

zamirikpo: That is the difference between business and investment. We need to strike a balance between both, part of the money from business should go into investment. You can make 500k or more every month doing business with your N35 million, while if you invest the same amount you will get 300k of less per month. It is not everyone that has the time and energy for business. Those who have the the time and energy for business today might not have the health to do same in a few years time. This is where Investment comes in Business is active, it requires our time and continuous energy. Investment is passive, does not require your and continuous energy. You do it once and continues to generate moderate income. People who built their houses for N40,000 about 37 years ago and generating rental income of N2,400 per annum. Fast forward to 2020, the same investment is still generating income 37 years after. Depending on the location such investments are generating between N2.4 million and N3.2 million per annum 21 Likes |

missjekyll: Getting a loan for a business or Investment is not a bad idea, provided you understand the business or Investment and also have a good track record in the venture. The problem is with the average people who use loans for consumption like house rent, weddings, school fees. Smart business people and Investors use returns from their business or Investment to fund consumptions, and use their savings and debts to fund their business and investment 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Adefajofashola: You will get about N4000 every month I don't see fixed deposit as an investment. It is savings. The essence of savings is to help us when emergency arises, when your savings get to a substantial amount eg if the savings can sustain your expenses for about 2 years. It is advisable to move 75% of the fund to a business or Investment 6 Likes |

ahiboilandgas: True and even @Emma made a clear distinction between investment and business. Am in my mid 30s so now is the time to hussle , by 45-50yrs, I should be winding down by God's gave and shifting into investments with a bit lower yields and less risk.

emmanuelewumi: I'm not sure this thing is this straightforward. Lets look at this hypothetical scenario. Two people work in the same place that gives car loan payable in five years with monthly deductions from salary. Both of them can afford to buy a vehicle without taking the loan. One takes a loan to buy, and passively invests the money he would have used to in say Mutual funds. The other buys from his "savings" or maybe interest from another investment while he keeps collecting his full salary. Which one would you say has made the best decision. |

rationalmind: It is their life and it is their debt just telling you how smart business people and Investors reason. And it is quite different from how most of us in the rat race reason. None of them is right or wrong it is the future that will determine Worker A got a loan of 18k to build a block of 2, 3 bedroom flat at Maryland Lagos in 1982, his friend worker B got a loan and bought a range rover for 18k. They both finished paying their loans after 5 years. Fast forward to 2020 the property worker A built is generating income of N1.6 million and the property is valued at N20 million. Worker B has a car that is not generating income and currently valued at 200k. Both of them are right, but who is having a better cash flow at retirement? A guy in the car section wanted to sell the car he bought on credit late last year because of the liquidity and cash flow constraints caused by the current recession. The person who bought from the returns on his Investment or business won't be under that type of stress. 7 Likes 1 Share |

emmanuelewumi: Ok, this is an interesting perspective though I think those loans are usually insured against job loss. Personally, I likely will not use my money (whether from return on investments or savings) for consummables if I have access to an insured loan that can be used for same purpose.
