✈️ Moving abroad isn’t only for the rich: here’s proof

Every day on Facebook and Google, thousands search:

  • How to japa under ₦1 million
  • Affordable relocation guide for Nigerians
  • Visa sponsorship and scholarships Nigeria
  • Cheap countries Nigerians can relocate to legally

Yet so many give up before starting, thinking it’s impossible without millions, a powerful uncle, or paying fake agents.

But what if you discovered that ordinary Nigerians, students, and workers have successfully relocated abroad – spending less than ₦1 million?
That’s what this article is about: real action steps, proven routes, and inspiring stories that show you how it’s truly possible.


💡 Step 1: Start with affordable, overlooked countries

Many Nigerians rush towards Canada, the UK, or the US – but these usually cost far above ₦1 million before you even pay tuition or visa fees.

Smart movers look at affordable, welcoming destinations such as:

  • Poland, Hungary, Georgia, and Latvia (Europe)
  • Turkey and North Cyprus (Middle East / Europe blend)
  • Malaysia and Vietnam (Asia)
  • Mauritius and Seychelles (Africa)

These places often have: 

✅ Lower tuition fees or even tuition‑free options
✅ Lower cost of living
✅ Part‑time work rights for students
✅ Easier visa acceptance rates compared to top 3 popular countries


🎓 Step 2: Use scholarships & visa sponsorship to cut costs

This isn’t theory – real Nigerians do this every year.

Popular scholarship and visa sponsorship routes include:

  • Erasmus+ scholarships (Europe)
  • DAAD scholarships (Germany)
  • Chevening (UK)
  • Country‑specific partial scholarships covering tuition or living costs
  • Student work‑study visas in Hungary, Poland, Lithuania

Real story:
Blessing, a 24‑year‑old graduate from Lagos, got a partial scholarship in Lithuania. With savings, family support, and part‑time work rights, she moved abroad with around ₦850,000.

Action steps: 

✅ Search "scholarships for Nigerians in [country]" on Google
✅ Use trusted portals like scholarshipportal.com, daad.de, and official embassy websites
✅ Never pay “agents” promising guaranteed scholarships – real ones are always competitive but free to apply


💵 Step 3: Build a realistic relocation budget under ₦1 million

A common mistake: people guess costs or copy from YouTube videos meant for Canada or the UK.

What smart movers do: 

✅ Use a relocation budget calculator (like the Excel tool in our book)
✅ List your major expenses:

  • Visa application fee
  • Initial tuition deposit or first semester fee
  • Flight ticket (find off‑peak months)
  • Proof of funds (sometimes can be shown as family sponsorship)
  • Emergency funds for first few weeks

Often, this adds up to ₦800k‑₦1m for affordable countries, especially with scholarships.


✈️ Step 4: Save on flights & travel

Real tip Nigerians use:

  • Book flights 3‑6 months early
  • Fly during off‑season (not August or December)
  • Use student discounts (STA Travel, studentuniverse.com)
  • Travel light: extra luggage fees can eat ₦100k easily

🛡 Step 5: Avoid scams and fake agents

Every year, Nigerians lose millions to fake “travel agents.”
Some vanish, some send fake admissions, and some even get people banned.

Red flags: 

❌ Agents who won’t let you see the university’s admission letter directly
❌ Demanding large cash payments “in cash only”
❌ Promising guaranteed visas

✅ Always apply yourself when possible – use the trusted websites and checklists included in our book


🏠 Step 6: Plan your first months abroad wisely

Budget living saves lives:

  • Start with hostel or shared accommodation
  • Use free city transport passes for students
  • Find part‑time work quickly: cafes, cleaning, campus jobs

True story:
Abdul, from Abuja, moved to Poland with around ₦950,000. In his first month, he worked evening shifts cleaning offices and earned enough to pay rent and settle in.
