Have you ever left your lucrative Nigerian job be it in the banking, oil and gas, health sector for a menial job overseas & what do you feel about it right now.

We do know that is not that Rossy abroad as no country on earth is filled with milk and honey[/quote]

How can that be possible?

Honestly, my dad knows a person in this situation.

He earns 1M as salary monthly and also has a side hustle which should be bringing him nothing less than 200k estimate. But the man still wants to leave 4 UK. And getting a job in the UK at the age of around 45+, isn't that almost impossible?


His wife is already there and she's doing care-job.

I still don't understand why he wants to move.

If I ever meet him with my dad before he leaves, I'll tell him "sir, you're making a big mistake!"

Well, he's still agile. I guess that's an advantage.

I believe u earn more than your dad friend

You will only do menial jobs for long if you japa illegally or didn’t have the right skills from Nigeria. Most people i know that came to Canada with permanent residency are doing job they were doing in Nigeria. Some of them had to start with menial jobs sha (2-4 months) before getting their dream jobs.

But there are people who still japa with visit visa or claim asylum. They don’t regret the menial jobs cos they are still able to save than what they saved in Nigeria.

There are several people who left their jobs in Nigeria for better jobs in the US, Uk and Canada

Misery loves company.

In Nigeria, some people are doing so well, they are successful in their fields. In the abroad, people are doing so well, they don't have time for sorry story. They get up and succeed. Why do you think it is lonely at the top It's because many people give up on their way to the top. That's why it looks like it is difficult to find successful people. They are so busy with maintaining their success, you will have to find them to interview them. The ones that are not successful will be whining about life. Life is what you give to it.

The same abroad. Choose your own coin of life.

Nope, I earned my yearly salary in 2weeks. If you're not lazy, you will make it. Nothing like menial jobs, there is dignity of labour here. Its challenging but you can do it...

It's not about the jobs in abroad, it's about the worse economy of Nigeria, if Nigeria economy is not competing with the developed world, you will never regret travelling abroad


Even if UK enter recession and 1 pounds, euro and dollars are still hundred ahead of 1 naira, you will still never regret migrating to a more advance countries except you are lazy like one poster said

Its Better to reign in hell than to serve in Heaven. Nam Angels(Who re that movie)...

Sometimes it's not all about money. What happened to good healthcare, security, economy, sound education sector etc. you may not really understand it, but it gets to a point in life where all you want is a safe.and secured environment where you can raise your kids in peace while giving them the best in life. Imagine being kidnapped and a ransom of N500 million is asked for. Where would you start from?

While I think he may exaggerate, there are many people here in Nigeria earning cool 7digits on monthly basis, there are even some in the region of over 2m on monthly basis though most are with multinationals.

The man wants to earn more and he will, age is just a number, unless he is sick.

This is an interesting topic that deserves wide exposure to get real life opinions of different Nigerians based on their real life experiences and to enlighten those planning to make a move, but the issue is, Nigerians are not honest people when it comes to issues like this. Even if they are suffering and regretting, they will never tell, they will not even share their regrets with their closest friends and relatives talk more of sharing it with strangers.



They can only share such regrets with someone far better than them whom they strongly believe would assist them, if not forget it.


But from my own experience, I would advice Nigerians earning good income in Nigeria not to abandon it outrightly to Japa with study route to countries like; UK or Canada. If you get a job offer with sponsorship you can go but do not abandon your lucrative job in Nigeria for a study route to UK or Canada right now.


UK is filled already, the only available jobs for those that are not in healthcare and not top IT experts is care job, security job and all those odd jobs that will hardly earn you 2,000 pounds a month. If you convert 2000 pounds to Naira it will look big and juicy, but you are not going to be spending the money in Naira? By the time you deduct tax, deduct bills like gas, electricity, car insurance if you have one, feeding and rent, you will definitely need another odd job to meet up with your bill, which means you will be working almost round the clock just to pay bills to remain in the UK.


Canada is not much different, just slightly better than UK but the extreme weather condition in some provinces will make you regret ever moving to Canada.


The best route to Japa to UK or Canada now is work visa if you are working and earning well in Nigeria, but if you are struggling or in an uncertain job in Nigeria with no future or job security, you can Japa even with study route because the future of Nigeria looks scary with the crop of people in charge of federal government of Nigeria now.

A software developer with 3+ years of experience can easily earn 1m+ in Nigeria; fulltime salary + side gigs.
