Pls do you know the meaning of green card I guess you don't know because if you know the meaning you won't be comparing 20 million to green card ok.

Now listen very well green card in your hand is the beginning of a new age slavery under the white man get that fact today. This is mistake many are making green card is not money ooo listen very well it's just a *a stay* or resudency* that is all, you will need to work your a s s to become anything in that environment, millions around the world from Nigeria with stays or green card are roasting out their some has be working with that green card for 15 years or more without having 1 million naira in their accout in Nigeria or equivalent in any foreign currency wherever they are talkless of 20 million.

I live their, I studied and not only live their i have their citizenship but Bro home is good I mean my Nigeria is great if not for bad government what is green card Bro it's a mere travelling and working paper, period

Have advised so many of my friends to come down home snd try something but some accepted but many refused and can't blame them insecurity etc but it's our country if Dangote, Adenuga etc still stays here in Nigeria then what is the excuse Home is good Bro.

God bless.
now im skeptical about somany things u typed here. If going by what you typed, i want to presume you have lived there for about 10yrs, atleast 5yrs and probably you lived in US....you mean after living in US for about 5-10yrs, you cant boast of having made up to One hundred thousand dollars? Then i should question you and not the system. The 20mill naira is just one hundred thousand USD and i know like a billion nigerians who have lived in the states for 5yrs, even less and have bought houses. Maybe its the country you lived sha. Please which country did you live in and became citizen? And please how is a greencard enslavery?

U right, but I'll stand to correct u on something. Everybody in the State work their ass up to get money not just the immigrates. Even white folks are homeless. But once u study here, you'll be able to have a better job to move to d middle class. From there you work on how to move further. There is more opportunities here in the state than in Nigeria but with 20 million naira? Am staying in Nigeria lol

I will take green card

If I get a green card to u.s. and I am allowed to enjoy the benefits american citizens enjoy, I can make back that 20 million and even more within 2 years....

Looking at things from another angle, 20 million naira is less than 200 thousand dollars and the average folks in u.s. go homr with about 50-80k dollars after tax.
The smarter choice would be the green card.
The easier choice is 20 million.

Well somany might see no sense in this but i still would say it anyway. I currently live in canada with a green card and i work $23/hr and 40hrs a week, pls do the maths and calc how much i earn in a month....mind you, this is my first job and i am just 4mnths old in Canada. Somany would pick 20mill and think they would start a biz with it....yeah it makes sense, only that 20mill might not sustain you for a long time and dont forget that theres no extra income to care for your needs, which means you probably would be practically living on the profits made from the biz you are starting and who says the biz will even boom?....remember you have families too that would not let you rest from the fact that they heard that you just received 20mill ooo. As i am, i can travel to any country i so like....any country!
But just analysing the two things, i think the green card is better cos it would give you the opportunity to make a good living both for you and your immediate family and you can make a living that would save you 20mill at the long run but on the other hand, 20mill will almost never give you a green card even if you get successful at the long run. This is just ma opinion sha ooo

But if you're like most Nigerians who are successful within Nigeria, you don't need a green card to provide for your family. In fact, it's those people I admire: they have successful businesses; mansions in Nigeria AND in the US/UK; can travel as they like; and send their children abroad to study. Very very few green card holders can do any of that; most are just barely surviving. Which leads me to do the math, as you say.

$23/hour * 2000hours/year translates to $46000 anually. Let's break it down (roughly):

Tax rate in Canada on the first $45,000 is about 16%, leaving (46000 - 46000*16%) = $39000
Housing is about 1400, give or take, depending on if you have dependents, and adding heating+electric+internet+cable, leaving (39000-1400*12) = 22200
Food is about 500, transport 200 (600 if you loan a car), clothing, cell phone, etc. can become another $1500/month, leaving (22000-1500*12) = $4200

$4200CAD is about #700,000NGN

These numbers may not reflect your reality, but I'd be impressed if you managed to save more than 700k per year in Canada. If you did, you'll need to save for almost 28 years. Don't forget you're also going to pay sales tax on your car, clothing, phone, in short most things, so you'll end up with less than this.

With 20million today, hah, my life will change.

Wow, I see somebody has been deceived dat he'll make millions in America within a year. My brother no b so. If u see anyone dat has collected his house within 2 yrs dat he got to America, pls call him n ask wat he does. Just do d calculation urself. U make $10 to 15 per hour. Max of 2500 per month. Ur home take is 1800 after tax. U pay house rent 700/month, light 80, gas 200, , car insurance 130, food 100, car loan 300 to 500 depending on the car. Water bill 50, trash 40, and other personal bills like credit card. So tell me how u wanna build a house in with 2 yrs when u still have to send money to ur people at home

With all due respect that's just £57, 971. Do you know the fugg you can achieve with a green card, if you work hard enough?

I'll make that 20m in just over 2 years and still hold my damn password to the world.

Mark you, my living condition and quality of life will still be better than the guy with 20m in naija --all things being equal.

If for example you limit the right to stay to say, 2 years, then I'd take the 20m.

You must have been watching too many Hollywood movies if you think within two years of getting to the US, you would have saved 200,000$. Lol the ignorance of many Nigerians about life abroad is something else. 95% of American citizens not even immigrants do not have 200,000$ in their bank account, most live pay check to pay check. I will reject the green card for even ordinary 10 million naira.
