Nigerian Man In Dilemma After Bagging N5m Salary Job In Nigeria And UK Student Visa

A Nigerian man is torn between pursuing studies in the UK after receiving approval for his student visa or accepting a job offer in Nigeria as a managing director with a monthly take-home salary of N5 million.

Career consultant @king_kriyl shared the man’s dilemma on TikTok after receiving the message in his DM.

In his message, the man explained that he has been granted a UK student visa and is set to start school there in September. However, he is also offered to work in Nigeria as a managing director with a monthly salary of N5 million.

“Pls I need your advice: “I have a UK student visa to resume by September this year and an employment letter to work here in Nigeria as an MD with a salary of 5m naira. Pls make me anonymous,” he quizzed.
