"Giving me $1,080,000 in child support in 18-years is înjustice. What if I spend all the money? I've used $100k already." __ Ayesha Howard, Anthony Edwards baby-mama crîes out 🥲‼️

"Anthony Edwards' child support was very small. I accepted that $5k because I knew that I can go back to c0urt in few years and demand a raise if his income increases and he'll start paying like $15k every month. But that wîcked guy went ahead and paid all the child support at once. Now he doesn't have anything that do with me again and I can't take him to c0urt even if he starts earning $1-billion every month.$1,080,000 to raise a child is too small. What happens if things get expensive. I blãme the jūdges for allowing such înjûstîce on a p00r woman like me." ~ Ayesha Howard

19-year old NBA star, Anthony Edwards' 37-year old baby-mama, Ayesha Howard is currently ãngry as Anthony Edwards makes a historic move by paying $1,080,000 in child support all at once, covering 18 years worth of child support payments.

"Canada wants you, Australia will work you, UK will bill you, New Zealand will chill you, and Portugal just wants you to speak Portuguese!"

Choosing where to japa is like picking a spouse—each country has its own wahala:

Canada: Will love you, pamper you, and give you PR faster than your uncle’s US visa denial.

Australia: Will give you money but make you sweat for it. If you’re ready to work like a Lagos danfo driver, this is your spot.

UK: Will take your money, stress you, and then ask, "Do you have sponsorship?" Like a t0xic ex that just won’t commit.

New Zealand: Will give you peace, good weather, and easy PR… but finding a job there might feel like searching for signal in the village.

Portugal: Super cheap, but if you no sabi Portuguese, you might just be doing charades at job interviews.

If you're considering studying and settling permanently in one of these countries from Nigeria, here’s a breakdown

1. Canada – Best Overall for PR and Family Migration

Cost: Moderate. You’ll feel the pain, but it won’t make you cry like UK school fees. Tuition is lower than in the UK and Australia but higher than Portugal and New Zealand. Expect to pay $15,000–$35,000 CAD per year for tuition.

Job Prospects: High. Canada has labor shortages in healthcare, IT, engineering, trades, and finance. Students can work 20 hours per week during studies and full-time in scheduled breaks.

Moving with Family: Easy! Bring your spouse, your kids, maybe even your goat (okay, not the goat). You can bring your spouse (who can get an open work permit) and children (who get free education).

Weather and Culture: Cold like your village chief’s heart when you ask for financial help. Cold winters but a diverse and welcoming society, especially in cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary.

Permanent Residency (PR): Easiest among the options. After studying, you can apply for a Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP), which helps qualify for PR through Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP), or the Canadian Experience Class (CEC).

Best place to become a citizen faster than your uncle got his US visa denial. This is the best choice for settling permanently after studies, especially if bringing family.

2. Australia – High Job Prospects, PR Process Takes Longer

Cost: Expensive. Tuition is around $20,000–$45,000 AUD per year. If your village people are monitoring you, they’ll think you’re studying medicine even if it’s fashion design.

Job Prospects: Excellent. There is high demand in healthcare, IT, engineering, and skilled trades. Students can work 48 hours per fortnight while studying.

Moving with Family: Possible but expensive. Spouses can get work permits, and kids can access education, but living costs are high.

Weather and Culture: Warm like Abuja in March but with cute kangaroos instead of okadas. Warmer than Canada, with a relaxed lifestyle. Cities like Sydney and Melbourne have large Nigerian communities.

Permanent Residency (PR): Longer than Nigerian elections results announcement. PR is possible but takes longer than in Canada. You need to apply for a Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485), gain work experience, and then apply for PR through General Skilled Migration (GSM).

Good money, good life, but you need patience and sunscreen. PR takes longer than Canada.

3. New Zealand – Less Competitive PR, But Smaller Economy

Cost: Moderate.Not too bad, but don’t expect cheap garri. Tuition costs $20,000–$40,000 NZD per year.

Job Prospects: High demand for healthcare, IT, engineering, and trades, but the job market is smaller than Canada or Australia.

Moving with Family: Spouses can get work permits, and kids get free education.

Weather and Culture: Comfortable! Not too hot, not too cold – just like perfectly cooked jollof rice. Milder weather than Canada, friendly and safe.

Permanent Residency (PR): Smoother than a Yoruba demon sliding into DMs.
Easier than Australia but takes time. You can apply for a Post-Study Work Visa, then work towards PR under Skilled Migrant or Work to Residence pathways.

NZ has easy PR, but job hunting might feel like looking for signal in your village. Easier PR process than Australia, but job market is smaller.

4. UK – Expensive and Longer PR Process

Cost: High. Tuition fees are around £15,000–£35,000 per year, and the cost of living is higher

Job Prospects: High in healthcare, IT, and finance, but work sponsorship is difficult. Students can work 20 hours per week.

Moving with Family: Spouse can join and work if you're studying at a postgraduate level(MRes and PhD), but the UK is expensive.

Weather and Culture: Mild but rainy. Large Nigerian community.

Permanent Residency (PR): Hardest among the options. The Graduate Route gives 2 years (3 for PhDs) to work, but you must secure a Skilled Worker Visa, which requires employer sponsorship.

Good for high salaries and global career opportunities, but PR is difficult.

5. Portugal – Cheapest, But PR is Uncertain

Cost: Cheapest. Cheap! Your bank account will thank you. Tuition fees is around €3,000–€7,500 per year.

Job Prospects: If you speak Portuguese, life is sweet. If not, life is confusion. More opportunities if you are fluent in Portuguese. Best for IT, engineering, healthcare and hospitality.

Moving with Family: Spouses and children can join but need financial proof.

Weather and Culture: Warm, relaxed, and welcoming.

Permanent Residency (PR): Takes 5 years, but better than UK wahala. Can apply for PR after 5 years, but the job market is weak.

Portugal is great and cheapest but not so great for job hunting unless you learn Portuguese faster than Buhari reads a speech.

In summary

If PR and settling down is your top priority → Choose Canada

If job prospects and high salaries matter → Choose Australia or the UK

If you want an easier PR process but a smaller job market → Choose New Zealand

If you want the cheapest option and don’t mind job challenges → Choose Portugal.

So, Canada wins for settling down, but if you just want to flex, go to the UK.
Now, pack your bags, tell your village people you’re going, and may your visa officer have mercy on you!
