No they do not need 7-10 year if they are leaving legally with a green card, work permit or even possible citizenship . Mind you I’m speaking from an American perspective. I don’t know anything about UK. I do realize they are very different. So if I’m wrong it’s only about UK. Someone from the UK can correct me. As a new grad after I finished school here, I started with over *** with no experience. (States are different and I’m only speaking for my state as well. Red republican states are notorious for poor pay, so I encourage Nigerians who live there to leave and come to the side of light  ). It’s been years and obviously the price has gone up. It definitely doesn’t take years upon years.SeaTrade: 5 Likes 2 Shares |

sunboy: I’ve never worked for Amazon and I haven’t earned $15/hour since I was an undergraduate but hourly wages have nothing to do with the question I posed about remittances. Every story Nigerians tell about people abroad involves struggle, living in poverty, and barely surviving therefore I asked how Nigerians in the diaspora manage to remit $19.2 billion per year if they are all struggling to survive another day as Nigerians say they are. 5 Likes |

SeaTrade: Very correct. That’s true. But I’m not omitting any details. That’s why my initial posts says traveling the right way. If he’s traveling legally meaning he had a job offer before he left, or admission to higher education that offers path to employment after graduation or green card from a family benefactor etc. those are all traveling the right way. Those people are recognized by the govt and won’t have to scrape and struggle to make it. Traveling the wrong way is 1) coming for visit and overstaying your visa. 2) Coming for education and refuse to leave after you graduate. It seems like that all we talk about when we talk about immigration. Because people are leaving the weird and not straight forward way. Then yes you will suffer and do minimum wage jobs to get by. Again remember I and 1stgenamerican are talking about legal immigrants. Not wayo corner corner immigration. 5 Likes |

234GT:It was tough . He sent his wife and kids abroad with a plan that he will join them the following year. But shortly before his exit he was promoted to a senior manager role and decided to stay back. By year 3/year4 he was promoted to AGM with prospects of making it to DGM soon. However his wife put a lot of pressure on him and before they knew it they had spent 7 years apart . He made visits during vacation and all but that wasn't enough. At a point he had to let go of the job to go join her. Everyone has a story. Manyyears ago my dad's friend left NNPC (Napims) as a GM to move to canada. People called him all sorts of names but he confided in my dad that he had been diagnosed with stage 2 lymphoma (cancer) and the oncologist in Canada advised him to move back to canada for better care. He earned a PhD at western university and became a citizen before moving to Nigeria in the 80s. He eventually died at the age of 71 in 2019 2 Likes 1 Share |

KanwuliaExtra: Excellent statement. I want to say something about the safety you mentioned. When you say safety, they don’t fully understand what real safety is. It’s not just police and fire protection that you’re talking about, you’re also talking about social safety which they have never experienced. I get sad when Nigerians talk about people abroad ‘living off the government’ because if Nigeria offered its citizens the benefits that other countries do, life would be much better for all of them. They say it like it’s so dirty and evil but even the people who get government benefits pay taxes so the government isn’t giving them anything that they haven’t given the government. If the Nigerian government offered Electronic benefits for people to purchase food for themselves and their children, government sponsored insurance for the poor, and clean subsidized housing how many Nigerians would refuse any of it and look down on others for taking it? Look at all of the jobless people in Nigeria. If the ones who were sacked unfairly or even laid off could receive a few months of unemployment payments, would they refuse it and look down on others who accepted the help? And their favorite topic: menial jobs. If Nigerian employers were legally required to pay their lowest paid workers doing menial jobs on time, every time like clockwork while being required to treat them respectfully and like humans and being legally obligated to provide a safe work environment, would they still look down their noses on people they think are doing menial jobs abroad? If people in Nigeria working menial jobs had the peace of mind that comes with knowing their boss can’t make excuses or withhold salary, would menial jobs still be such a bad taste in their mouths? 6 Likes 1 Share |

1stGenAmerican: Thanks for explaining better. I didn’t even know all this, but I have friends and family in both sides and I can tell the difference. I also work remotely with an American and a Brit, the difference is clear when it comes to wages. I love the Brits though. They are more humane or at least pretend to be.

cococandy:I was also talking about legal immigration. Higher education isn't free,whose gonna pay for him? Your guess is as good as mine. So he had to work and pay his tuition and living expenses, This will take time. Then after that ,job hunting takes another time too before you settle. 7 years don pass. You'll not start making great money from the start except for very professional courses which cost way more to have school wise and takes more time. Before you work your way up and start making decent income,get a mortgage and things like that,time don go well well.. He would have done more in Nigeria with that 10 years and won't need a mortgage then,e go just go lekki buy house.. Well,long and short of this is for everyone to suit themselves. 1 Like |

My disagreement with you is that it doesn’t really take that long. But yes everyone to their own. If someone has a well paying job that is not a result of their high skills and qualifications, they should definitely keep it because the loophole they used to get that job may not be available in America and they might end up being worse off if they have no skills here. But if they have those skills and education, no one can take it from them. then they won’t need 7-10 years to assimilate. I just asked one of my friends who has been here for 7 years to show me her pay. Would you have advised this person to stay back in naija because it took her 7 years to get to this level? Mind you she’s not considered a highly paid individual in her field. Many Nigerians are also her bosses and seniors so they definitely make more than her. This was last year and she’s due to another bump this year. I hope you guys stop believing all these “they do menial jobs and 2-3 jobs and don’t have $1000 in their bank account” that people always say on NL. It’s not representative of reality. Even if this person paid for their education, they can recoup that in short while. So..? SeaTrade: 3 Likes

Everything is not money. Many leaving want a secured future for their kids . Insecurity and uncertainty is what's driving people out. Many that never thought of leaving are moving out of Naija fast while the money they have can still get them somewhere. The politicians who have a lot of money still make sure they secure something abroad so that they can run away if anything happens and these are the ones we look up to for good governance. It's the ones earning relatively well by Naija standard that can afford expenses for migration. ₦24m is approximately $38k , or $3k monthly  Almost nothing works here, sadly.

cococandy:Hmm. This is suspicious because I know you can’t make this rate in 7yrs except you are a doctor. For nurses to earn this there is a lot of overtime involved. A lot. Annual raises in pay are definitely not 14% more like 2% if any and that is with a very good review. Except you get a significant promotion. This looks like overtime work where the person is working a lot. That for regular hrs their salary will be half that pay. |

RedChiefPriest: From the way the original post is worded on Twitter, it may be that the combined income of the couple is 24million Naira per annum. Another mistake people make about the analysis of a good salary in Nigeria is that there is no consideration that the people with so-called great jobs may somehow lose their jobs and never be able secure replacements remotely close to their previous salaries. In fact, if you've had a relatively good-paying job in Nigeria, you are an "endangered specie" as it may turn out to be your undoing if ever something went wrong with your career trajectory along the way! You could be so over-qualified that you would be by-passed even for the simplest jobs that you could easily do. This is the experience of many people that I know in this category. They regretted not haven left Nigeria when they were at the top of their careers, even though they won't have minded securing jobs with average salaries now. However, none are forthcoming! There is no job security in Nigeria! If you happen to fall, you are most probably down and out! That's why people are so prayerful and many even fetish - so as to hold on to whatever good one happens to get in Nigeria! There are usually many "adversaries" who would be scheming to bring you down through any means possible, including going "spiritual" on you! If you know, you know! 6 Likes 2 Shares |

baby124: I think the hourly it said on there was $80/hr. Most nurses usually do 3X12 = 36 hours per week which makes it around 2880/wk Multiply by 52 weeks/ year this makes it $149k/year. So I think that’s accurate. If she did over time it would be way more than that I guess. Which is another reason why I believe folks don’t bother to disprove the NL beliefs because they’ll be called liars anyway. Also I didn’t state that this person was a nurse. Also your state of residence matters. 4 Likes |

cococandy:Average nurses salary rate is about 40-50 dollars. This rate is based on the annual salary earned. A 14% jump from a year ago definitely signifies a lot of overtime. But that’s just how I read it. Plus you have to be a really specialized nurse with specialized training to make that 80. Plus years of experience. I have a relative who is a doctor of nursing. |

cococandy:Before a doctor can make 500k/yr it’s not beans at all. A cardiologist takes at least 4yrs of bachelors, 6yrs of medical school and specialization if not more. 6-8yrs of very hard schooling and residency. That’s about 12yrs-14yrs if not more. During residency they make about 50k actually. Then you have to prove your merit and also work long long hrs before you make that money. I know that system like the back of my hands. America does not give you anything easily. Why do you think so called successful people keep being caught for fraud?  ?Go and ask spouses of doctors how many times they see them in America. Lmao. If America is paying you that money you will almost lose all your blood. By the time dr’s graduate from medical school you know how much they owe in debt? Go and ask dear. From 250k-300k 1 Like |

Yes you’re right. Doctors are not the average folks. The only reason I even mentioned them is because you said that $149k/yr looks like Dr pay. Doctors make way more. That was my point. Here’s another nurse’s job offer. She’s also my colleague. In fact I’ll be posting numbers henceforth since words don’t seem to be enough. At $94/hr working only 36 hours a week 3 days week, she’s making $175k/year. No overtime. In fact her organization is unionized therefore every shift she works that’s is over 8 hours she makes extra 50% per hour on the hour. I’m waiting for another friend to text me her pay stub.
