How I Would Start My Relocation Process Today if I Had Only ₦500k
If I had just ₦500k to my name and I wanted to japa, here’s exactly what I’d do, no pressure, just strategy!
1. I’d study low-cost, low-barrier countries like Germany 🇩🇪 (Ausbildung), Hungary 🇭🇺 (vocational training), Lithuania 🇱🇹, Latvia 🇱🇻, and Poland 🇵🇱. © Lisa Agu
Some don’t even need IELTS or heavy bank statements.
2. I’d spend small to gain big
I will research on real relocation course, join mentorship group, or verified guides that break it down step by step.

3. I’d prepare documents quietly
passport, CV, certificates, motivation letter, and SOP. Na who dey ready dey move fast when opportunity show.
4. I’d use free platforms wisely
LinkedIn for visa jobs, YouTube for skill-building, Reddit for real visa stories, and join Facebook groups where people share updates that matter.
5. Then I’d build up my ₦500k
take remote jobs like virtual assistant, online customer service, transcription, or translation.

₦500k won’t pay for flights yet, but it can fund information, strategy, and growth.
Start from where you are. Relocation is a journey and some of us started smaller.

We can all win together.
