This is what I think.

Every ing istration in Nigeria have only worsened the state of the country.
Do you wanna remain in this situation?

Do you have job satisfaction and do you earn enough after deduction monthly expenses from your salary to save at least 300- 500k?

If not.. Leave Nigeria.
Marrying will make your savings dip further every month. You will be under pressure and that wouldn't be nice. Plan to leave Nigeria to Australia or Canada or even the USA..
I don't like UK but it's a matter of choice.

One thing is certain, after you gain stability in these countries and you know what you are doing. You will save at least 1k dollars monthly after expense.

You can pick a wife from Nigeria, try to get a nice woman for yourself now. So she go through the phase with you in prayers and to you with words of encouragement.

My reason for choosing Canada especially is because it is easier to gain stability and immigration documents faster.

UK and Australia ain't bad either.

When you finally finish your one or two year program. Come back to Nigeria and marry your fiancee that would have been with you during this phase and begin to process her papers.
She will you as dependant.
She will also work and add to your savings as one family.
While she is in Nigeria waiting for you to get done with school. She should enrol in programs that would prepare her for the new country in relevant trade.
Hair making, etc.

If you happen to get a medically inclined lady, it is an advantage to your progress.

Age shouldn't rush you into marrying now.
Proper plan and execution will be worth your wait.

May God direct you.
Op better listen to this.

Hello guys,

.

"I belong to the school of thought that believes can make it in Nigeria despite all odds". However, considering the economic realities of the country, I have recently contemplating of japa and maybe get a Nigerian lady for marriage after my studies.

.


Obviously, you've graduated from that school of thought for contemplating the economic realities of the country.
Anyway, this is the ultimate advice, if a japa chance opened and you are not one of our politicians whose budget for feeding alone is amount to tens of millions or billion of naira like our ALAJEKU leaders, take it or your future children will hate you for making a dumb decision to wait on government of lies and deceits.

Marry first .build a house and travel with your family if you desperately desire to leave Nigeria

Are you for real....build a house in this current economy with N200k monthly income...unless it is a thatched house you want Op to build.

To build a 2 bedroom bungalow now will cost nothing less that N5 - N8 million excluding land cost depending on your class and taste.

OP's best option is forget about marriage for now and pursue his dream to further his education start earning good money and consider settling down, the best time to further his studies is now when the distraction of marriage is not present.

Enemy of progress. You want him to stay in Nigeria for your useless government to improvished him together with other Nigerians

I know you're a billionaire, go and help your fellow Ronus dying of hunger in South West

But success is all about running after or pursuing money through lifetime? I am sorry to say ure in the category of young Nigerians that need proper orientation about life mission. Some of them are into yahoo yahoo here pursuing money without purpose while the few educated are pursuing japa without direction. Early raising of children (if ure not a papa) is worthwhile for those who understand the purpose of marriage. Although it is meaningless to those who believes they can just pick a white girl to impregnate in order to get a foreign citizenship. Before you tell me something about poverty, it only exist in your mind or imagination.

You must be a very complex ignoramus to believe that poverty only exist in the mind or imagination.

Werey it is people like you who mislead people... japa is scam... if you like believe it

If you can raise 3or5m to japa in this same bad country then I think you can do better. But nin.com.po.ops like you reason upside down because you're cursed to be poor and frustrated. You don't have a winning attitude undecided

You are seriously asking which law firm will pay her 2700 pounds? You really think 2700 pounds is good money? You must be a villager.
Which law firm will pay her 2,700 pounds after tax at her level? List them, cityman.

Those with wealth of experience make a min of 3,500 as gross pay monthly. Consult Google if in doubt. By the time you deduct taxes, what's left won't near the 2,700 which Ngozi is making effortlessly.

Don't travel o! Its a trap! There is nothing there for you. It is just degrading work, you will only be using your mind to be changing the few pounds they pay you to naira, but you can't spend the naira over there! Stay in Nigeria, build your life, enjoy yourself.
In a few years, you will even be travelling to that same UK for vacation.
Don't get swept by the hype, there is nothing but suffering over there

Hello guys,

For some days now I have been on a serious dilemma whether to resign from my federal government job that pays me above N200k for my current position and migrate to the UK or stay in naija and set up a business to augment my salary. I will be 34 years next year, I feel traveling to the uk for studies next year September will delay my chances of getting married, as I have planned not exceeding 34 years without getting married.

I belong to the school of thought that believes can make it in Nigeria despite all odds. However, considering the economic realities of the country, I have recently contemplating of japa and maybe get a Nigerian lady for marriage after my studies.

Please I earnestly need matured advice from you guys to know how to start the coming year.

This might sound harsh but this is true. We need to look at the statistics of everything majority of those who enjoy this country(average to wealthy life o)are the political class, the number of ā€œordinary/poor manā€ that enjoys this country are few, the question is are you going to be part of them ?

I have a friend who graduated with first class and risked everything and started a cold room somewhere in Rivers.. spoke to him last week his transformer spoilt going to 2 weeks now. He has been down, these are some of the things one can face doing a business here…And believe me I’m a very strong advocate of invest in Nigeria but recently with experience my stance is changing gradually

There are opportunities in this country, you are even a federal worker so job security is guaranteed. But you need to also consider future Prospects, how fast can you get to the top of your field? What will you be earning in the next 5 years at your current job to your family? Godforbid you or anyone close to you develops an expensive sickness. These are factors you might have missed which you have to include while making a final decision


Finally I’m in a similar situation as I have a fully funded scholarship to the uk with stipends, my current job pays me something similar to yours. and these are some of the things I considered

Everything is a risk but which one will you do and per adventure it doesn’t work out, you can leave with?

why are you running?

You are in a federal government job, why arent you patient to climb the leader and reach the top, everything takes times

Why run to the uk and be stagnant

Building your career in your government job is better than moving to the uk. in the UK, you will be stagnant and wont get social network and career progression like you do in Nigeria

Eveeything takes time but i will rather be in Nigeria with my federal job, move up the ladder, improve on myself, build my social network, retire and get a good pension

why waste your time in the Uk living an average life
Oga u are the only person who have made a valid point , wisdom speaks through you

What skill do you have? & What gives you the confidence you can make a better life there ?
Don't get me wrong, 200k monthly is small.

You are even making any meaningful thing and marriage has become your major problem. This is how you end up falling into poverty. For your traveling, if the option isn't to be considered by the government over there for basic benefits, then think twice about it.

Hey chief, I am eager to understand what you mean by this please.

It's obvious the current economic situation in d country is so melt down that no reasonable person will think twice before jetting out...The reality within this concept is that Western World is getting tougher on a daily basis...Just last week,UK government announced that Nigerians migrating to the UK will no longer bring their dependants along...Canada has ed n announced yesterday...My candid advice,stay back n continue with ya Pensionable job..Life is that easy over there now...

Ignorance at his highest peak

Yet, naija top the ladder of unemployment and poverty in the world
Naija top the ladder of weak and worthless currency in the world
Naija leaders are one of the highest paid in the world while their subjects are so poor that they can't afford ordinary 3 square meal daily

If you think this country will ever get better then you're either a politician, Yahoo Yahoo or ritualist

You have time quoting one of the low..lives fo.o..ols.
