Baba, when you don’t know about something try to keep shut. It’s not a must to shalaye. There are people making it big in Nigeria. The country is not working for you doesn’t mean it’s not working for others. There are a lot of wealthy people who didn’t come across 8 million, but today they are making it big. You sef reason it why do you think everyday the Chinese and Indians are trooping into Nigeria, even the Lebanese. It should tell you that there is something they are seeing which you are not.

Xeeex:
I'll advise him to study in a country with free education in Europe. People are asking about their language, sha not everything is for everyone. With 6 months, if he is there he will be good in whatever language the country is speaking.

Or he should go to Canada and pay fees for 2 years and money have finished.

It's up to him

Kekereekun123:
those ones are above the law, you a common man aint. Different treatments by government.

Damian457:
wisdom is principal thing. I see no logic in your analysis. You said he should go to school in Europe? What happens after schooling? I’m sure the primary aim of going abroad is to relocate? Most of those European countries don’t have a merit based immigration system. Spending that money to get a Canadian Education automatically qualifies him for a post graduation work permit that will culminate in getting a Canadian permanent residency

LeeSantos:
₦8m won't last him a year a abroad.
he's a student.
that could go a long way here in Nigeria if he invest well.
let him conduct research & feasibility studies on what & how to invest wisely.

it will only take him time to make more million. but patience, dedication, and management is the key.

Xeeex:


Ok fine
I guess 8 million can pay for his fees and upkeep while he is schooling and sustain him while he is searching for employment.

Since, you decide to comment without researching about the immigration systems in some European countries that offers free education, then fine, I can't do that for you.

Let him go to Canada.

KendrickAyomide:
my friend shut up. I knew I would find idiots like you in these comments.. what exactly should he invest in?

Damian457:
You still don’t get the picture. You think it’s everybody that study in Canada that pays tuitions? He should zero his mind for Canada and start working on getting a Admission into a RESEARCH BASED MASTERS after his undergraduate.

timkuro:
Please experts and fellows in the house, a friend of mine wants opinion on whether to stay in 9ja with the 8 million he got after his father's death (he's share of his father's gratuity) or to relocate to Canada.


# He's in final year in a Nigerian public University and he's 29 years old.


Please advise is needed.

I hope that you read this? Do you know Msc in Germany is for free if only you have 5million Naira? Citizenship is very easy to obtain as well.

Berlin people speak English very often, although you just need to pick up German lingo to a decent level. Medical care is highly affordable, world class, good schools for your kids, good football clubs to become superstars, good currency ( euros ). If you are in environmental or engineering field all the better.

I really hope you see this. Because Canada and USA are too expensive. I wouldn't want you to risk staying in Nigeria, at least not until you find out you can survive well in Germany with that amount and advance your career as well as those of your kids.

Kekereekun123:
alot of international students from Germany are emigrating to canada after their studies. That should tell you something. It is not easy to learn the language or get a job after

flyingpig:
so it is Canada where jobs are available? What happened to the phrase "Canadian experience ". Alberta can barely survive since oil prices plummeted. Germany has far more jobs and vibrant economy than Canada can offer. You can argue the language economy, at least it's not as cold as Canada or boring as Canada. If you read danielhouston thread you'd be amazed how thrilling Germany is, just like London and Lagos.

Think9ja:
To an average black man (especially a Nigerian), money is everything.

I'm not saying OP should stay or go but all those people talking about investment.... Money is not everything, peace of mind is! Some salary earners abroad have more peace of mind than some so called billionaires in Nigeria.


With your billions as a Nigerian, you'll still drive your car on bad roads. You'll still use generator or inverter to power your home/office. You'll still live in a city with very poor town planning system and architecture. You'll still face SARS/security intimidation.

No matter how much you think you have in this country, your peace of mind is not guaranteed.
Dangote should drop his security and walk on the streets of Lagos or live in ikorodu and see what will become of him
Yes, you can hire a security guard to follow you everywhere you go but to what end?


You need to live in a country where you can be anything you want to be.
You need to live in a country with good town planning system and architecture.
You need to live in a country with stable power, water and other amenities.
You need to live in a country with good infrastructure.
You need to live in a country with some good recreational facilities. All these things help prolonge life.


But in Nigeria.....

You'll apply to study law, they'll give you political science or sociology. You'll apply engineering they'll give you physics, etc.

This country kills dreams. In twenty, twenty five years, all those migrating now will look back and be grateful for their decision to leave Nigeria.

This country bad, asin, e bad. And it will keep getting worse.
But unfortunately, we think once you have money you're ok, which is not true.

Kekereekun123:
at least in canada its easier to get permanent stay and citizenship. Germany its not.

flyingpig:
Please! Germany is not notorious as USA for being stingy with residency or citizenship. Maybe Canada is better in that regard, but Germany is doing absolutely well there and better than Canada in economy, jobs, purchasing power of currency and fun.

Kekereekun123:
[s]you obviously haven't left the shores of Nigeria before. No need arguing with you[/s]
