163. MENTORING AND COACHING




Abroad, success is not only about what you know but also about who guides you. Mentoring and coaching are vital tools for growth, yet many Nigerians overlook them. In Nigeria, we often rely on informal advice from friends or elders, but abroad, mentoring and coaching are structured, intentional, and highly valued. They are the shortcut to avoiding mistakes and accelerating progress.





A mentor is someone who has walked the path before you and can share wisdom. A coach, on the other hand, helps you discover your own solutions through guidance and accountability. Both roles are powerful. For instance, a Nigerian, new to the UK could benefit from a mentor who has lived there longer, and understands the systems. At the same time, a career coach could help refine CVs, prepare you for interviews, and strategise for growth. These are not luxuries; they are necessities for faster integration and success.





Too many Nigerians try to figure things out on their own, resulting in years of trial and error. Mentoring and coaching shorten that timetable. Instead of battling blindly, you receive guidance from someone who has already found the road. That instruction does not guarantee that you will not experience problems, but it does ensure that you will not make preventable blunders.

The wonderful thing is that mentoring is more than simply getting; it also involves giving. As you grow, you will be able to coach others. This initiates a circle of empowerment. Nigerians abroad can create dynamic groups in which information flows both ways. By mentoring and being mentored, we raise the bar together.

Mentoring and coaching open doors that qualifications alone cannot. They provide access to networks, clarity of vision, and accountability. If you want to thrive abroad, don’t just work hard—find a mentor, invest in coaching, and later, be one for others. Growth is faster when someone is holding the torch ahead of you.

75. DON’T BE OVERLY TRUSTING - Jack’s Japa Empowerment - Diaspora Handbook - Jack Lookman Limited - Rita Nnamani - Olayinka Carew

75. DON’T BE OVERLY TRUSTING Relocating overseas exposes you to many new situations and individuals.  It’s natural to be overly trusting, especially when meeting other Nigerians or Africans.  Hearing your native language or seeing a familiar face might bring comfort.  But don’t let shared ethnicity blind you to reality: deceit, treachery, and exploitation may come from anybody, including your “brother” or “sister.”  In reality, some of the worst experiences that immigrants have, come from their own people.  Painful, but true. You must learn to check, not simply assume.  Just because someone claims to “know the road” or has lived in the UK for years does not imply that they have your best interests at heart. Don’t let anyone collect your documents, charge you for “connection,” or drag you into shady businesses in the name of “helping.” Many people have lost their savings, lost job opportunities, or even lost their status because they trusted too easily....
