You think if I were eligible for an EU passport (or anywhere else) I wouldn't have it by now? JFC.

Got Irish grandparents?

Bermuda might be an option. Its well run like Scandinavia but witha liberal guest worker visa policy.

Lots of Indian waitstaff there. When my wife and i had beers with them they said it was easy for an Indian engineer to get a job in the US but impossible for an educated but unskilled person to get a job here but that Bermuda paid better anyway.
They reminded me of my friends when we graduated; over educated, underemployed and having a blast.

If i moved there atmy age now I would go for "manager" or something.

No. The only way I could get another passport is to marry into one. That's it. That's my only option.

I have to wait until 2028 to get a Nigerian passport.

The law there is if you are a non-Nigerian woman marrying aNigerian man you gotta wait 6 months for a passport.

Men gotta wait 15 years.

Apparently this helps with Polygamy.

That's just not true. It might take a few years of planning and adjustments, but it's very doable.

Might as well go for the sham marriage, sounds like the same hassle.

Who needs a foreign passport? These days anyone with a technical qualification can take their pick of countries to emigrate to.

That is what I am hoping for. OT Cybersecurity is taking off (finally)

I mean, Ideally I would rather do it in the USA . I am big fan of protecting American power, sewage and transportation infrastructure.

But if not that, I would friggen love to protect this awesome project.

Americans are not used to the idea of leaving. Hell, most Americans never leave the country ever.

We are accustomed to people wanting to come HERE, so it’s a bit jarring to consider fleeing. I can’t wrap my head around what it would be like for democratic countries to be put into a position of accommodating American refugees.
