If you are currently working in a company that pays you N700,000 monthly and you are on the right path to becoming a director in that company by 2030 (8 years from now), will you resign and relocate to Canada? Note the following:

1. Directors earn not less than N2,200,000.00 monthly and salaries are reviewed upwards in the company annually.

2. You and the company both contribute to a pension fund with a reputable pension fund monthly and your pension fund balance in just 6 years of working with the company is over 8 million naira.

3. The company caters for the health needs of you, your spouse and 5 children at no cost to you under HMO.

4. You enjoy performance bonuses annually.

5. Your next promotion is to Assistant General Manager where you will begin to earn $6,000 per annum as foreign trips allowances.

6. You are married with 5 children.

7. You are 35 years old.

I won't. I'm a king here, why will I want to become a dog in the city when I can be a lion in the jungle?

Very dicey decision to make... But you must understand that this is Nigeria where you may be kicked out of what you deserve with no justice in sight. Just follow your intuition

Nothing is guaranteed in Nigeria. New government may come in and its policies Bleep the company up. People earning more have relocated abroad for sanity and future of their kids. You can send your wife and kids abroad too while you stay back.

oga please shut up . Please ..


He should go to Canada and start from square 1 ?? Did you really read all the bonus he mentioned ?? Most Canadians are praying for this .or is it in Canada new government policy cannot close up a company

You are quoting someone who has given the best advice . Wait until nigeria hit you hard then you will know what you are upto

With all the aforementioned why don't go on vacation during summer break with family. With such CV it's easier to travel with it. Canada is cool but you need to work in their environment to be able to understand their work ethics. Either a study permit turn to PR or Work visa. This process is money and time consuming. Never will you have rest of mind as now because of your quest of new world.
Let me sit down and pick my beans in peace

oga you are not the only person that wish to leave Nigeria.. me too want to .. but with the Above.. Nigga I go nowhere .. it's what he worked for ... When it's time to rip from his labour he should just abandon it and move to where he will start all over

my post was not directed at you. Clearly you have never being in management positions before. Alot of Nigerians went to Canada and continued from same role they were doing in Nigeria. In my case i got a level higher. There is labour shortage in Canada so people with valuable experience get juicy jobs. My first job here the monthly savings was times 2.5 of my salary in Nigeria. Second job i no wan talk before enemies go say i dey brag lmao. And Canada is flexible, after getting your pr you can stay outside for 3 years before coming back. In that time you can apply and get the job that you feel worths it. The ogas in most top companies in Nigeria have foreign ports or have their family abroad. E get why

I will maintain my work and send my kids abroad to study in the same Canada.

Dear op kindly follow this advise. Dont resign send your family abroad visit them frequently and stay back. If you trust your wofe oh...

This is not even close to a 50:50 situation or anything lime dilemma.. If i was you nigga id stay back here.. Can vacation to ca and 50 more countries wen i like..
But things for you to consider..
You and your spouses interest.. Esp hers, else thr may always be trouble.
Secondly.. Are you assured you can earn as much or even more in ca?

7. You are 35 years old.

I will relocate to the US or Canada if I am in the situation above.

That 2.2million you hope to earn monthly is not even up to $4,000/month at the current exchange rate. If the naira continues to depreciate, it will be a lot less in 8 years. $4,000 per month is $48,000 per annum. If you are a legal immigrant and you are educated, you can easily earn a lot more than that in the US.

Then consider you will have to pay school fees for your kids, provide your own power, water. You can't escape bad roads, police checkpoints, generator noise, etc.

I won't even think about it, I will leave if I have the opportunity. Actually, I left already and it is one of the best decision i have taken in my entire life. I only regret not exploring the opportunities available and leaving earlier.

Hmmmm you are in between devil and the red see . This is the time to activate your money sense don’t let Japa syndromatics use your head drink garri in the name travel and double your earnings
Let me collect fresh breeze in peace as I sedon outside my appointment

Many thanks for all your contributions. I am more inclined to stay back in Nigeria and I will. Starting life all over again in a new country is a turn off for me. For my profession I'll need to spend a year or two writing exams in any new country to get certified in that country before I will be able to get similar job and roles unless I want to switch careers. My job in Nigeria is secured. The Company is over 50 years old and even though it started as a one man business it's no longer so. After becoming a director within 3 to 5 years you become a shareholder. Shares are allotted to you as part of your employment benefits and the shares are often enough to make you part of the decision makers. I feel I have better prospects staying here and building my career than relocating to a new country and starting all over again.

I think it's better you stay back in Nigeria. It is always difficult relocating when you are in your mid thirties and above, and besides you established in Nigeria.

I was in a similar situation as you. I and my wife had a combined monthly income of N1.5m when we left Nigeria, I wont lie, it was a difficult decision to make, now we make about $200k PA in about 2 years, which will only go higher, so no regret.

Canada is great for their immigration friendly programs. For anyone looking for a 2nd port, Canada seems to be the best option for now and the flexibility is appealing.
However a higher degree or Canadian experience is key to getting those juicy jobs in most companies. You very likely hold a PG degree outside Nigeria and gained experience or you have to be very talented.

Good luck and wishing you the best in your decision. If there is a pathway for you to relocate LEGALLY, it won't hurt to explore it.

Hopefully you won't wake up 5 years from now and wish you had taken a different decision. I am speaking from experience, I had the chance in my late 20s / early 30s but ignored the opportunities. Fortunately, another opportunity came again in my late 30s and I grabbed it. Best decision ever!

What is so funny is the way you are mentioning two million like it's ten million . Besides most people relocating are doing so for their children. How many upper middle class if that even exist in Nigeria can beat their chest and say their kids will have much better careers than they do especially with the trajectory Nigeria is headed.

I won't move, but I'll try to secure citizenship for me and my family as an alternative. Even if you earn double monthly, you can't win against the falling of naira, you feel it when you import something, or go abroad, to even Ghana.

If all you listed above is true, I'll suggest you stay back in Nigeria. You can always send your kids and wife to Canada.

I live in Canada and I know what I'm saying.

Peace!

Children should be raised by their father and mother under the same roof after all it takes a man and a woman to make a baby. This silly thing that I see Nigerians do whereby they get married but then live apart from their spouses for extended periods of time is not how a marriage should operate. It opens room for cheating and adultery. If you can't live under the same roof with your wife and kids as a husband, STAY SINGLE!

Abroad is for Tourism-Fun while Nigeria is a Home.

When reality hit you Ori e a straight..

You know what's interesting? The equivalent role and pay in US/UK/AU/NZ/CA or any other desirable location doesn't afford you as many options and opportunities. It's only people abroad in high 6-figure roles that have the same options in-country as a Nigerian with the job described by op. What I mean is having substantial capital to invest and being able to easily do well in business. The American would have to borrow, sacrifice, and take high risks. Even if successful, the margins may be terrible and have them doing not that much better.

But to answer the question, someone in that position should do both. Use the good salary to get some investment real estate, and start a bunch of businesses. Then basically buy a foreign port. Apparently, you can buy citizenship (for your whole family) in multiple Caribbean countries for a few hundred thousand USD. You can basically do the same thing in Greece and Portugal. When your kids are ready for uni, send them abroad. Maybe invest in some real estate or businesses abroad too.

For a start, all these perks mean little if one lives in a fragile and unstable country like Nigeria. By the way, which company is that?
