VanuatuWycombe:


I give you six months to collect N400k consecutively and you would discover you need more money. N400k is too small to build a future on in Nigeria. You will feed well and be able to buy basic things though but it doesn’t take you far, especially if you live in big cities where you can earn that N400k. Ask people earning it and they will tell you.

Speeddial:
The American visa is ready and having a job that pay $400 monthly.

Take the American visa and travel to the US? Or stay in Nigeria and take 400k monthly permanent Job.

Which option is best?

TripleOh7:
What kind of life will you live working for $200/month. Accomodations, feeding, transportation etc.

Maybe you'll be able to get a second job to complement that one, otherwise, it doesn't make sense.

Also, 400k per month may not be much in Lagos, but it is manageable.

FarinJini:
I'm not disputing it sir. 9ja is pretty messed up at the moment but with the options the op gave, 400k here is better. You pay little or no tax unlike in the US. Plus you can't compare the cost of living. A decent apartment that'll cost 150-200k in a year here can cost more than 400 dollars in a month there. With a better job in the US, we wouldn't even be having this conversation... Everybody go move but the 400 dollars there against 400k naira here isn't it.

That mean millions of Nigerians do not have a future, because small fraction of Nigeria population earn such amount of money as basic salary.

He cannot be captured by the US tax net for now because he is like an undocumented immigrant since his name is not in their Labour database. So he will spend is $400 to improve himself while squatting somewhere. I am sure when his name is mentioned as an outstanding Nigerian in some years to come, you would be part of those that would be proud of him being a Nigerian.

Nigeria is DAAB (Dead And Awaiting Burial).
So if you are given one day visa, abeg use the opportunity o. The US is multi trillion dollar economy with over 500 million inhabitants. The opportunity is huge there than here.

For accommodation, if it’s Lagos, you can’t get a DECENT apartment at N150k even if it is a room self contained. A room sef con that is decent starts from 500k in Lagos mainland. There are even those that go for 700k. Quote me anywhere. I have firsthand info on them.

FarinJini:
So you'd prefer squatting in the US to owning your own place here? Of course I'll celebrate an outstanding Nigerian but would you celebrate a criminal who is a Nigerian? Being broke and indebted in the US will only push one into criminal activities.
For accommodation, yes you can't get a decent one for 150k in some parts of Lagos but u can in many other parts of the country but in US how far? Can you? You can but it's definitely not for a year. And the type of houses you get for 500-700k in lag that you talked about will cost you more than double the amount in the US.

I just laugh at clueless posts like this. The blind leafing the blind. Both places have advantages and disadvantages. It's true that you make more money WITH HARDWORK in the u.s i.e standing for 10 hrs... no time to gist ... just work work work... but more importantly it's practically impossible to save in the u.s especially as an uber driver. The bills pour in like tsunami.
Food is cheap.... hehehe... thats the Trojan horse they sell to you. 5he pharmaceutical companies own the food production lines, so the GMO foods are packed with fat, sugar, cholesterol salt and insidious substances to make you sick and without the relevant nutrients. So you may see apples the size of coconuts packed with sugar and little vitamin C or you eat chicken that's been grown / dipped in steroids within 2 years you're being diagnosed of cancer or diabetes or heart disease. As for the children born ...they're quick to vaccinate them with hundred of vaxcines.. Those kids hardly grow up healthy with underlying diseases and autism in a lot of cases. If you're black the healthcare system is your number one enemy. They never treat you completely and even try to give you more complications so you keep coming back... because heathcare is paid by insurance. Its an iteration process. The drugs are weaker than what you get in naija for a start you can't even get simple anti biotics except you go see a doctor which will be billed from your insurance .. the doctor has to diagnose and make sure you always keep coming back. That's capitalism. Then they poison the foods to control populations ie by zipcode the big retail marts are used to destroy populations by sterilizing people via the foods. So yhe real people that enjoy u.s ate those that come here work for about 6 months then go back to naija and convert their funds to naira.
As for women... loneliness wan kill them here. Men do not want to marry. Sez is even more difficult here npt just because the girls all want 6 figure earning men but more importantly you touch a girl ghost her and the next day you are accused of rape and your life destroyed infact God saved me once while in school a chic was making advances on me I dulled cos I had other options and wasn't really reciprocating even after she'd invested me to her house 3 times(her 5 kids..YES ..5 were asleep as she claimed ). This devilish chic.. fone chic... went and filled a sexual harassment case against me and identity theft ie she didn't feel safe with me in the school. I faced a panel and my saving grace were all the text messages she'd been sending me. She went Scott free. Marry at your peril in u.s for sure as a man. A worse mistake is to bring a girl from naija to marry here ....heheheeheheh. ... Doom.
As compared to naija where you deal with the high class girl most guys here have to deal with the most toxic women on the planet lol. You buy a house and yet don't really own it as you have to keep paying the taxes WHICH IF you or your kids miss will be taken immediately.. There's a big smoke screen about the u.s.

The things that make us tick in nigeria are impossible to get in the u.s. You'd be shocked at how much freedom you have at work. You gist play etc. Cherish that beer parlor lol.. loud music. Suya... and most importantly the NATURAL food which we eat. That's why our immune systems are a million times more powerful than the average person in the u.s. You can buy land and it belongs to your generations. Our Healthcare is terrible but most of the population do not require them cos we're quite a healthy population as compared to the u.s. Though this buhari govt has really Decimated nigeria but I know the moment the dullardeen leaves things will get better..

Both ends have yhe advantages and disadvantages. If you actually get a job that pays 400k omo.... stay back in naija then visit the u.s and flex then go back. Give birth to your kids here so they can be citizens and raise them back in naija.

Though you give a very extreme view about the USA, but as someone who live here, I won't say I do not have or share some of your sentiments. USA extreme capitalism is evil. If I remove the constant power supply, running water, quality healthcare and education, and modern infrastructure, then one has no business here except if you have young kids. However, as someone who just returned from a trip to Nija some days ago, living in Nigeria is like being in an open-air psychiatry with extreme chaos and disorder that make one wonder if indeed Nigerians are human. Maybe it's better in other state aside from Lagos. Extremely poor roads, flood even in areas with expensive properties, no drainage. I hate complaining about Nija but it seem to be in another "world". And in the midst of all that madness, what most of the vibrant youths care about is BBNaija.

Anazp:
when you caculate rent or mortgage payments plus other expenses food, car payments, taxes, entertainments and if you have kids their welfare and all you will realise that making 4k dollars monthly is thrash

VanuatuWycombe:


He will be able to get another job, for sure. He can even leave this one and work at order fulfillment centers like Amazon. They pay at least $15 per hour.

kenrisma535:
Leave for the United States. Houlry rate is 15 dollars. Monthly rate is 2250 dollars.. Apply for a visa ... Not only are you getting this much wages but you're getting a free accommodation, a free insurance and all health or medical costs are covered... That's not all... Your unborn child's gonna get a free education. Nigeria is corrupt and shite.
