afam4eva: The best way to make a killing in America or any foreign country is through self employment.

dare2think: @op

Different countries different opportunities. It is never easy in another man's country as you often have to work twice as hard to get paid equally or less than the indigenous folks.
Most advanced western English-speaking countries are often not that bad as compared to Nigeria or other countries. Countries like Greece, Spain, Portugal
are becoming increasingly xenophobic as their economic situation begins to take toll on the social structures and environment. As with any society, when
things begin to go wrong the 'foreigners' are often the first Scape-goats to be pointed out. This has happened through-out history.

The EU countries still fair better as compared to middle-eastern, Asiatic or eastern bloc countries in terms opportunities, acceptance and discrimination. This is often due to the democratic and educational background of majority of their respective population. Integration and multi-cultural exposure of certain countries play a part on how successful an immigrant can aspire to be in that social structire

In some countries, foriegners often classed as lower-classes often fair better than middle-classes in African countries. Basic amenities such as good electricity, security, affordable healthcare good road, adequate transportation, easy affordable cable/ internet subscription often give these perceived 'lower classes' much more life value than the perceived 'middle-classes' where these basic amenities are limited or nonexistent.

The OP's question is quite legitimate and judging by the global crisis, I would assume not as much depending on the foreigners circumstances. However, one must factor one crucial and important puzzle as well in the spirit of objectivity; Is it still rosy at home?

Rhino.5dm:
coming from someone that only sees abroad on movies? Dude, this thread is for people living abroad or have lived abroad and not some local chimp that haven't moved passed the local wing of MMA.



why don't you start by telling us how to live in Aba or Onitsha, chimpy?

Now get da hell outta hia!!!.

afam4eva:
I don't know where i claimed to have lived abroad. Who's dragging abroad with you. You must think it's every tom, d1ck and chukwuma that wants to run away for greener pastures abroad. I guess it's that slave mentality in you that makes you think people abroad are any better than those in Nigeria.

noble_gas1:

Have you ever been/Lived or worked in the middle east

Rhino.5dm:
You mind telling us how you managed to relocate to Lagos from Aba? was it through night bus or via cross country? LWKMD!!

Stop commenting on issues you have no clue of.

Now, walk along you local chimp!!!!

ebamma: no matter how hard life may be for nigerians abroad,the will not love to return to nigeria because its worse down here,from epileptic power supply,bad roads,corruption to now terrorism.

pDude:

Hmmmm. I'm not too sure about that o, considering a nearby city: San Bernadino just filed for bankrupcy. Also being black and African isn't really working for us sometimes. Let me give you an example. Some weeks ago, I got called for an interview for a pharmaceutical company.

You applied for a job in a pharmaceutical company. . . .I thought you were a medical doctor abi na surgeon?

afam4eva:
Dude, don't you have some dead bodies to wash somewhere?? Stop following me around. I'm not Gay.

Much better than a system run by retardeen Goatlock for sure and whose shaite is licked by lapdogs like the OP. In a system that works, not chaotic like odechukwu's Nigeria, you will not cope you will actually excel without any connections or boyboyism. Get an education, work as hard and smart as you can in whatever you do, you will be able to afford and have everything you need and get even the things you want while keeping your dignity and humanity. You will not have or need millions of dollars in your account like sellouts like the OP who help to rip off the patrimony of their fatherland to feather their individual nests but you will have enough and more depending on your talent, hard work, dedication and focus.

You will have good roads to drive almost everywhere you turn, healthcare that will take care of the smallest injury to the most life threatening ones without needing to travel to another country, buy or rent a good house / apartment, buy a very good car, take trains or buses, never have to worry that someone might bomb you and your leaders will do nothing but brag, get the latest electronics, travel to any part of the planet without needing to die at the embassy applying for visa, if you lose your job you never need to be an eye-servicer like OP to survive because your employment insurance benefits kick in for several months, enough to find another job, you can wake-up everyday and have peace and a clear conscience not those seared with hot irons like that in an environment where the quality of life is determined by how many billions you have looted of the country's wealth. All these you can do without carrying a credit card debt and be in control of your life. You will not need USELESS PRAYERS for NEPA to bring light, or BH or defend a good for nothing foolishe leader like Badluck Jonathan in order to get your own share of his N 1 B cassava bread handout! This is the real meaning of wealth and a good life not primitive acquisition!

Rhino.5dm:
which is better, washing dead bodies or sending scamming mails out and waiting for potential victims? those guys you tried to demean are earning their living legitimately while you on the other hand wait for emails from potential donors to swindle. What you are doing is called ADVANCED FEE FRAUD aka. yahoo yahoo.!!!

Besides, I have never lived abroad more than 6 months in a stretch. I made my money here in naija .


Still waiting for your adventure from Aba to Lagos. LWKMD!!!

mylunch: U hv a misguided believe,i reside here in europe,with absolute certainty,life is tough here.Aside lack of jobs,ur wages are lesser than your bills.Yes good roads and all of that,but u pay through ur nose for it.As soon as am done with my masters,am headed home,i can't wait to leave here.I hv couple of friends and relatives in d UK,they sob daily,what is d reason for this?life is tough.Most times they ask for loan from me,and d answer to this request is obvious,i don't have enough to spare.Am aware of d power failure,so what i have in mind is to come along with a moderate solar to power me 24hours,nigeria is blessed wt plenty of sun light,so i would use this to my advantage.Is better back home,i know what am talking about.

afam4eva:
You made your money in Nigeria doing what exactly. Thief. With your reasoning faculty, i doubt if you can make a penny doing anything legal. You sound like a fraudster to me. What fraud sector are you into?? sending bulk emails to suspecting victims or the conventional 419? Or are you just a pick pocket?

andre99: Walahi no place like home, I stay in Colardo not too far from the cinema where the Dark knight shooting incident happened, we are afraid because another incident happened in Winconsin temple, walahi I want to leave Usa for Canada, problem too dey here, it is just the beginning of the shooting spree here in USA.
