Because women are toys for you to play in your scheme of life right?
I hope the new girlfriend he impregnates and abandons in order to satisfy his parents will be related to you. Wicked person

Johnsown1:
Brother your case is as easy as laughing, as an igbo man, i would advice you to search for a greener pasture abroad as for your parent, you don't need to defy them, get your girlfriend, impregnant her (after all your parent need your replacement incase you close up) and go abroad.

200K and a decent Accommodation is great, wonder why u still want to travel outside, You are the only child, trust me, Your mum needs u more than any billions u think u can make over there...Family First

If you can confirm that the job is legit and your work visa is approved, relocated shapaly!
You'll earn more, and have an improve standard of living.

I Need Serious Advice On The Path To Tow

I am currently confused right now on what to do. I need advice.

I got this job that pays 200k+ a month plus a decent accommodation. Iam very good at my job and I have been planning on opening my own. As a matter of fact I have planned to start buying the equipments needed for the company by October. Although if everything goes as planned the company would begin operation by middle of next year. I also have the intention of combining my job and running the company(it's no big deal). However I ran into this sure link of getting a very high paid job abroad. The link is legit and very sure, all I have to do is accept and I will leave ASAP but my problem here is that my parents wokldolet me step out of the country cause I'm their only son. I needed the abroad job as it would boost my income and enable me achieve what I had planned. If I should follow my initial plan the company would run on a small scale. However, with the fund from the away job I could get enough money to go into full business.

Iam thinking of defying them and go ahead with the abroad plan. But one mind is telling me to hold onto my initial plan.

Please what do I do?

Ps I have already been offered the job abroad all I have to do is to accept it. And I don't have much time left.

I'm a practising christian and even though I don't go to church Every other day my church is my conscience

that dosent mean many Nigerians aren't guilty of these things and use church as a covering
my moms aunt and husband were strong Catholics but when the pangs of childlessness was too much you know, you succumb to the advice of one or two people

at the end of the day the child still died at the prime of his life so what was the point of dipping their hands into Satan's things
Satan can never give you he will give what he knows he can collect . its not worth it relying on him.

Many pple who earned over 300k and with plenty assets have left the country. Please i take God beg you, accept the job and move ahead. If you don't, you may regret it for the rest of your life, even after your parents are long gone. If you are young, there's no harm in trying out abroad. You can always come back. But the older you get, the lower your chances of succeeding abroad.

I say dey waka you still dey ask me question

don't you know people get children from covens and riverine goddesses .

continue speaking big grammer

many children you see are misbehaving today sometimes its not their choice or fault its what their parents have deeper their hands into.


ask anybody about children gotten from marine world . they are always close to perfect but its either they just die untimely at the peak of their life to cause grief to their parents , or for the lady's they can't get married Or have kids.

I won't argue with you

but I will just ask have you ever had any experience like this ? if not don't argue.


maybe your ancestors served benevolent spirits or your folks are prayerful that's why you can speak big grammer like this
Oh my goodness, you believe in too much superstitions.

Marine spirit, mamy water, etc are all superstitions, do you have any evidence for these imaginary entities? Or do you also believe in the little marmaide, Aquaman, Posiedon?

Babies are not gotten from imaginary spirit, you might hear or see people going out to see spiritual priests for babies but it's not what they claim that happened, like I said quit believing in superstitions, it's illogical to believe these things actually happens especially in this tech age.

I fit swear say na Rad or Med Rehab.

First off: Guy march.

Next, run the numbers. What is the starting salary, so you can estimate the tax (it's highly unlikely your effective tax rate for a start will exceed 20% but VAT go do you strong thing)? Where is the hospital located, so you can have an idea of the rent (na the major expense)? Then go to any expat or pro forum to estimate the cost of living in that specific location.

What you want to find out is the amount of savings you could be looking to make annually. Your salary might look nice when you punch it in the calculator, but after the expenses, it may not look that amazing. In any case, e sure say ur savings go at least equal your Nigerian salary, while your skillset improves immeasurably.

Also have a long term plan. How long do you intend to work there? Coming back to open a private center is a good idea. But that doesn't mean there aren't opportunities for specialists in Nigeria. Get the right connect back home and you could be paid like an expat. Not a hearsay.

Good luck.

If only you knew the kind of mistake you are about to embark upon. Good job, nice apartment and proposal to start a business! How foolish can a man be to throw off real for hope, tangible for promise, happy life style for stress, fustration and regrets. You wanna leave real money for written money, for those who dont know what I mean, thats where you make $55, 000 per year on your payslip but only get save $7000 after taxes, bills and living expenses. Stay back progress gradually...and build your own business. Then vacation and smile.

You guys just make up stories.

As I said before, if some of us weren't exposed to how things actually are, we would be believing some of the things that are said here.. Some of you just throw numbers how you like.

$55,000 per year comes to $43,000 after tax. Please can you smartly explain how "bills and living expenses" can possibly take almost 84% of this, for a single guy with plans and no wife and pikin bukata or family bukata?

Even me living in one of the expensive cities here, with all the bills and all, if I had a plan todo business, I can live on 24,000 dollars per year, easily.

Sometimes I marvel for nairaland posters. That's how the other one said blacks and Nigerians don't get top jobs abroad.

And even if we assume very wrongly that he is only left with 7,000 dollars savings after all expenses and taxes, that is still way more than what he will save in Nigeria on a salary of 200K per month (assume zero tax, which is not even correct)..

So, in case you have not thought it well, think again. Some of us have lived in both situations. We are not just typing..

And by the way, you guys should stop telling the OP he is making a mistake. I remember the story of one nairalander 5 years ago, I forgot his name ooo. He worked for Addax and was earning around 500K or 1million per month. Then he got a scholarship to Tu Dellft and he wanted to resign. Everyone thought he was mad, as per naija factor, lol. Oh, you're making the worst mistake of your life, ooh, abroad is hard, ooh, this and that...But,, the guy resigned and dared them. He went to Tu Delft, did the 2-year masters and fantastically landed a job paying him multiples of his naija salary..Guy, if na your story, abeg show here.. The same people telling him he was making the worst mistake of his life were the ones praising his decisions.

If OP's education side is very tight, and the job is sure, I would take the job sharp, sharp..So, there are many variables involved here. This life has big opportunities and sometimes one needs to take calculated risks

That's the thing. OP is not giving helpful details, but I hope he is got some good ideas from all posters. I keep responding and responding to posts here because I had been in OP's shoes before.. The decision OP takes now can mean a lot in the next few years. If the OP is still mid 20's, then he can take risks anyhow, but anything after 30, open eyes oo

Guy, e depends oo. You cannot use the "so many people" argument. So many of those people are regretting badly. I remember a story one my flat mate told me in Italy. Bad, bad stories. If one is reasonably well paid in Naija, they should only leave naija, in my opinion, if there is a really strong reason to leave. Like they got a sure job at a decent company abroad or they got a nice scholarship or some other sure stuff. You don't leave a good job in naija to just go and roku abroad. Na hunger oo. Minimum wage jobs are hard and tedious...
