If you're a lecturer or teacher in Nigeria, you're badly underpaid. You need to have a career step-up plan or Japa plan.

If you are 40 plus and seek to Japa for PR, choose New Zealand 🇳🇿.

Many countries including Canada, Australia and the UK have some set rules in place that caps opportunities for people above certain age from securing PR. For instance, Australia limit study and post study opportunities for people aged 35 and above except you are going for certain PG research courses. The UK also has similar rules in place. It makes those that are 35 and above feel ostracized from the commonwealth of opportunities.

In Canada, once you peak age 39, chances of maxing your scores for Express Entry is greatly diminished except Provincial Nomination intervenes. However, this is not the case in New Zealand.

Here the opportunities open to people aged 35 and above. Including 40 plus in New Zealand.

1. You can study for PGD, Msc and PhD. You can bring your family. Your dependants will also secure visas including work visas for your spouse. Kids also school for free (work visa).

2. 40 plus are eligible for Skilled Migrant Residence Visa. Age is NOT a factor. Visa is approved typically within six months. SMC Residence Visa is one of the most simplified visa in the Western world as it is based on a six point system.

3. 40 plus are eligible for Straight to Residence. If your occupation is on the Tier 1 Green List, you are eligible to apply for Residence. You mainly need a job offer.

4. 40 plus are eligible for Work to Residence. If your occupation is on the Tier 2 Green List, you are eligible for Residence if you secure a job offer.

5. 40 plus can work in the Seasonal Employer Work Visa stream. Valid visitor visa holders are eligible to apply.

6. New Zealand welcomes anyone aged 18-55 to apply for their Residence pathway. If you under 55, let nothing stop you.

7. 40 plus are also eligible to Straight to Residence available for Teachers.

Age is not just a number, it is a blessing and New Zealand is one country that welcomes you with open arms.

Work Visas abroad - important tips

One of the most "abused" Japa packages is work visa. Many people sell work visas for different countries abroad but the reality is that it doesn't work like that.

Here are some tips to help.

1. Easiest work visa to get when you Japa is in Top C countries. These countries you will get work permits and visa sponsorship from employers but it comes at a price. The employer "owns" your stay in country and you are paid very low wages and you do a lot of work. This is what you will experience if you travel to the UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the likes. Note this doesn't apply to expats.

2. Sponsored work visas - work visa sponsorship is typical among Top A countries but not widespread across these countries. UK for instance has an employer based visa sponsorship system, New Zealand doesn't have such (you only need a job offer from an accredited employer). In America, an employer can file for you. In Canada too. Getting a sponsorship visa is NOT what anybody can do for you. It follows a process, mostly formal and in some cases, through agency.

3. Pool-based work visas - these visas are semi-easy to get. It requires that you Japa to work in a specified occupation or industry with conditions attached to the visa. For instance, countries like Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Netherlands and few countries in Europe are big on hiring Seasonal workers. These include Seamen, farmers, and a host of other professions that have high employment surge in their peak season. New Zealand allows you to convert to other visa types, so that is a plus. Other countries don't.

4. In-demand work visas - these visas are the ones that will land you permanent residency especially if you are in target occupations. Go the national occupation list and apply using the appropriate portals. Most Top A countries prioritize these occupations. This one is a do-it-yourself project. No one can do it for you.

I know you all want work visas, but it is important you do your due diligence. No one can automatically issue you work visas except they have licensed affiliation or accreditation to recruit from overseas.

You have a better chance of securing a work visa when you have the authentic work visa to be in the said country.

Also remember, not all countries are worth going to for work, especially Top C countries, because one thing is certain, if you don't have an exit plan, you will get trapped.

Let your 'poverty' ginger you.

When you look around you and nothing seems to be working, you can't feed your children, you can't afford three square meals, let it ginger you. When you experience opportunity poverty characterised by living below your potential due to lack of funds or access to it, let it fire you up. When you experience geography (location) poverty, and you constantly experience a glass ceiling on your talent and ability due to your location in this world or the colour of your passport, let it ginger you.

Poverty is my biggest motivation. When I think of the moments when I was in my lowest of lows, when 30,000 naira was my take home salary and when abroad seemed like a distant reality, or when a few persons wanted me to 'suffer', it gingers you.

Life will not give you what you deserve, but what you demand. Let poverty push you to apply for scholarships. To learn new skills. To light up the midnight oil. Let it cause you you to put yourself out there. Let poverty put fire in your bones. Poverty should be your catalyst not your excuse. I have lived abroad for the years and I have seen people from very poor homes secure scholarships in Top universities abroad and land six figure salaries in Top companies.

Refuse to allow your environment, grade, family dynamics, personal limitation, geography, disability, or any other excuse under the sun, prevent you from being the best of you.

You only live once, make it count.

Residence pathway for Vocational skilled workers in New Zealand - important tips.

It is no longer news that New Zealand is launching a bold Residence pathway for Trades, and Technicians in 2026. Already in 2025, these occupations have been added to the Green List, meaning they are considered by immigration to be in demand.

Here are some important tips to get you ready to secure Residence ahead of time.

1. Get your skill assessment done - Trades and Technicians skills are essentially one that requires certifications or assessment done. If you are already a skilled vocational worker you should get a certificate of skills from your home country. The best bet is to go to the Ministry of Labour and Productivity in your home country (other countries may have it differently). The key takeaway from here is to secure your Trade certificate.

2. Acquire vocational skills - if you are an undergraduate or a graduate, start now to learn a vocational skill. This can be plumbing, electrician, mechanical technician, HVAC, fitters, carpentry, Trades and the likes. Go for these skills and others required by New Zealand on the Green List. Be ready, be prepared.

3. IELTS - there is a high chance you would need a General IELTS or PTE English Proficiency test result. Aim for a band score of 5.5

4. Polish your CV and cover letter - this will be your keys to the kingdom. Excellently, put together a brilliant resume that will brilliantly showcase your skill set to prospective employers in New Zealand. You will be needing it.

There will be more information coming as the day inches closer

Secure a job in New Zealand as a vocational worker. You will secure 5 years of Accredited Employer Work Visa. Work for 2 years and you bag your New Zealand Residence. With your Residence, you are set for the rest of your time in New Zealand, because it would only be a matter of time before you land your citizenship.

If you can, do everything to ensure your living & unborn children, NEVER "beg" or "apply" for visas. This is an inheritance too
