If you had ACCA from Nigeria, I believe your experience with accounting job hunting in Australia would be different. Its hard to imagine an FCA of our noble ICAN packing trash in Australia. ICAN needs to do more in terms of bilateral cooperations with other professional bodies. You would have been able to practice with your FCA in England, I believe

Gone are the days when migrating to UK is seen as an achievement. Those winter coats, boots, head warmers, long socks, and gloves no longer hold water. They may look classy and fab but that person just finished washing toilets all through the day and is about to do security work at night. Then a manager of Zenith Bank will resign and move to the UK with his family. Succeed in Nigeria and have the money to travel to any country of your choice for vacations. There are some things you'll enjoy in Nigeria that you can never in the west. Choose your tradeoffs wisely.

The three months is the shocking part.
If he is correct and truthful,then he had well laid out plans and is lucky.
I am just imagining someone going to a new country and already started doing well at 3months.Shelter,kids already in school,fees settled,got a job already and saving.
Thats quite an enormous achievement

A 48yr old man is still young, so nothing do you.

My own classification of old man is 70 and above and besides I know a man who only starts seeing money at 50, he should be in his early 60s now and now multi millionaire if not a billionaire.

LOL. You guys don't know how it works here. Who told you he can't get back to his accounting profession? He needs to get life started before securing his career. If you are washing plate here, you don't wash with your hands. All you do is put all dirty plates into the dish washer, set the timer and go sit down. When it is done, you unload the dish washer. That's all. Same this applies to refuse dumping. You don't touch any thing with your hands. You do more of monitoring than manual handling. I work in the disability sector where I have gained a lot of experience using modern equipments to do various form of jobs without touching the person. What you don't know is bigger than you.

Last year, I sought the opinion of Nairalanders concerning my plan to move to Australia.
My major worry was my age (48) and also considering that my net salary in Nigeria was a little over a million Naira per month as the financial controller of a manufacturing company in Onitsha.

Below is the link to the thread I opened to seek peoples advice and I recommend that you go through the thread to fully appreciate
the story that follows.

[url=https://www.nairaland.com/7825207/japa-confused-please-advise][/url]. I promised to tell my story after 3 months of my stay in Australia.

I finally left Nigeria on December 7th, 2023 and arrived the country on December 9th with my children. Today, I am exactly 3 months, 2 weeks and 6 days old in Sydney, australia.

This is not a hearsay, it is not an eye witness account, it is my story.

This is intended to guide people who maybe planning to travel outside Nigeria. Should you migrate at an age over 45 or not?

Those who told me not to go are right and those who told me to travel are also right.

Given another opportunity, will I take the decision to move out of Nigeria at 48? Have I made a mistake? How am I surviving?

You will find out in this thread.

To be continued shortly .........

There is no boy boy here. It is only in Nigeria that people are treated as boy boy.

Here people drive latest model of any car brand to work. What is the work? Cleaning, picking and packing cartons.

That big man mentality is why Nigeria is in a bad state.

For me measure of progress is different.
A toilet cleaner in Australia lives a much better life than the regional manager of Zenith bank in Nigeria.

Yes it is very humbling my brother. I can not imagine a man at almost 50 years decelerating from being a Boss to a Boy Boy for Oyibos. In exchange for clean 247 electricity and security. Definitely, they are better organized than us, right?

But it depends on where you lived in Nigeria. You mentioned being an Igbo man, so it could be that your city is not properly organized as opposed to other places with serene air and cleaner environments.

Alternatively, working as a warehouse handy-man is boy boy in your language. But congratulations for promoting yourself from big man to boy boy.

I promise you that we will build Nigeria, so your children can have a better place to return to, and hopefully you will be visiting often and not when you are too weak to be useful to Nigeria.

Omo, when I see the wahala people go thru in the name of this JAPA, i just know that it cant be me. I just want to love the freedom tech gives me. Na so my guy moved to the UK for the past 3 years now, he has been working in a warehouse, very stressful job, works multiple night shifts daily. Infact, he laments badly. For those who can do such stress, I wish them the best. I cant. Na why i switched to tech since. I can even sleep and wake up and decide to drive out and rest when I want to.
I mean, god bless tech. If I decide to move out today, i can and will not need to do all these wahala. Imagine all the wahala he had to do just to settle in Australia for life wey we all go still die las las
Tech remains the best choice I made. Writing codes is fun and building real apps are amazing. And no body go ask me to work for warehouse or do night shifts or do multiple jobs to pay bills.
A friend wey dey UK, another one, where she works, they dont allow them use phones. She always kind of sneak to use her phone. Oh lord, it cant be me. I cant
