i experienced it this Ist 5 years .. 2 jobs .. i could not even account for most of the money made

U re welcome , if u re still young u still get opportunity ..no paying for baby sitter amgst other bills

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG IN EITHER GREEN CARD OR 20 MILLION ..BUT get the mindset that IT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO SETTLE ABROAD

Damilare5882:
Green Card to Canada or Australia

RaptorX:
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.

GMan650:
See as u mention #20 million and green card and people are making different wishes. You better wake up and stand up to work cos if wishes were horses I would be a master in polo

[size=20pt]Hmmm

I will take green card[/size]

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.

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.

The green card...
why
1. Qualitative education for my children
2. I see one of my children becoming the next president of America... sorry to disappoint you folks it wont happen in Nigeria.. ethnicity, rotational crap and all that.
3. A society that values truthfulness more than money! see what bill cosby is going through!
4. A society that questions the source of your wealth
5. Qualitative health care system. why do you think all our rich men rush abroad for medical treatment.
6. No big man can dupe you and get away with it... the story of Nigeria
7. I dont have to make any funny calls on behalf of my children for someone to fix him/her up... if he is hard working he will easily make it abroad.
8. No need to worry about the so called african jazz.
9. Free from all those extended family.... constantly demanding...
10. I can comfortably drive my brand new car and be happy to see all around me people with beautiful rides
11. no more living in gated house, gated roof, gated street.... when one is not in zoo.. i call that living in bondage
12. It is better now to invest abroad... with the fall in crude oil price, the real value of shares will soon reveal itself which is southwards!
13. The average Nigerian worker is becoming poorer by the day due to depreciation of naira against major currencies.

That is a fallacy.

dangote turn 500000 to become a billionare.

With green card ur not guaranteed to make 20 Million naira in 10 years. As your getting the money your spending it.

Everything is overpriced especially health care.

And then paying for insurance rent etc

Funny Nigerians. Even with green card or any kind of card you won't be able to save $15,000 in 20 years. Most Nigerians are truly in the dark. 62% of Americans don't even have $1,000 in their savings. Even if you go to college you won't be able to save 20million in 15 yrs. People need to wake up, 62% of Americans don't even have $1,000 in their savings account while most Nigerians are here thinking America is what they see in Hollywood movies. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/most-americans-have-less-than-1000-in-savings-2015-10-06?siteid=yhoof2
