@ All-Greetings.
Eventually-I am reporting, dear forumites, that our passports with the visa's were delivered to us by DHL midweek.D famous maple leaf on the visa is actually gold coloured!One should just budget abt 2wks from the time one approaches DHL for pick up assistance.
It's strange that having received the visa,I am not so sure again.I am not just knowing tday that I am already 50 but I am wondering whether I hv d energy for the initial adaptation-can be energy sapping.
My next to do is to cntact IOM,will be happy to know of cheaper flight options.We are considering travelling by Nov during my annual leave but will want t return considering all my children are in the university and it's unwise t uproot them abruptly.
I wish to appreciate every one on the forum who hv helped me untie a knot directly or just putting out their experience.God bless you and for others on the queue,God speed
Congratulations.
I was smiling as I went through your post. One, I was impressed that u already have children in Uni. Two, I widened my eyes at ur age (I kinda thought you'd be in ur thirties), three, I smiled at you not being sure...
Now, about the possibility of you not having the energy to adapt, I understand but disagree. I believe firmly that a Nigerian would adapt anywhere. We r strong in body n spirit and of course we know how to call on God when stuck.
I am sure you would settle in faster than u imagine. Since ur children are no longer teenagers (I presume) I am nt sure there would be a challenge higher than having to raise teenagers over there. It's a plus for you. A kinda working-reitrement package, in the right environment.
If you are an owambe person, sure you would miss the parties n bonding here in naija. U may miss the level of authority u most likely have in ur office too...
All in all, it is up to you.
Congrats again.
