What’s a piece of advice that stuck with you for years?

Saying kids are expensive when you never had a kid is diabolical.

My personal experience on this 👇 After I got my admission to Germany 🇩🇪 in 2020, my girlfriend (now wife) was very skeptical about when I would come back for her. Her concerns were valid, her environment was filled with stories of women who hadn’t seen their husbands for years after they traveled abroad. To be honest, even I didn’t fully know how the future would play out. All I had was my full commitment to her, despite the distance. We prayed about it and agreed to continue with a long distance relationship. The plan was: maybe when I start a PhD, I’d come back, marry her, and take her along. We also started exploring other options like Canada Express Entry along the way etc. But life had a better plan. During my MSc, I got an international job offer from the Netherlands 🇳🇱. In the HR email, they asked me to send the passport details of my wife so they could process her visa to the Netherlands 🇳🇱. I was shocked 😳 I replied immediately to confirm. I told them I wasn’t married yet, but asked: “Do you mean if I’m married, you can sponsor my wife, even if she’s in Nigeria?” They said yes. Omo… I can’t explain the joy I felt that day 😭 That same day, I started planning my wedding 😂 I resumed work in September, traveled to Nigeria in November to marry my babe, and by February, my employer had processed everything and she joined me abroad. Just like that. So yeah… I guess we were lucky. But more than luck, I’d say it was faith, timing, and commitment aligning perfectly.

What’s something people chase that isn’t worth it?

Sending 100 generic applications vs sending in 5 tailored CV’s. The latter is always going to get you more results, I promise you. For the 5 you send, ask yourself: What do they need? What type of person are they looking for? What problem do they need me to solve?
