After all the invectives you have thrown here you want the same people to advise you? US remains the gold standard and the most difficult to enter

I know you are referring to the time we had that squabble. I'm sorry for how I responded to you. It was poor behavior on my part. Kpele.

Still I'd rather work for a US company from outside the US, especially where rent is cheaper

Remote US job that pays at least 20k usd per annum. Get your laptop, running shoes and headphones. Tour the beautiful countries in west Africa (jump Ghana).

Rent is available on monthly or 3-monthly basis.

Dont be afraid of the francophone countries.

Did I remember to warn you about Ghana?

For income above 40k usd, come to the uae. It is more secure than USA, UK and Canada combined if you promise not to stay in the cheap immigrant locales.

Above 60k, go to europe. Portugal, Sweden, Germany etc. UK only if you must.

Above 90k and you are remote? You be chairman. Any place is home.

UK is so expensive and overrated, I'd rather be in a cheap EU country and have access.

Electricity bill and tax are the reasons why UK is expensive.

When e start, e dey sweet. Until you realise that you cannot party on Friday night. And Sunday night wey free pieces for you, na only you and Yahoo boys go dey outside.

On a more serious note, it messes up your sleeping cycle. BIG TIME

If you already have a good paying remote job in Nigeria, I don't see the reason to japa. The time is normal for US workers. Millions of persons work 2nd and 3rd shifts.

Without doubt! A good paying US remote job doesn’t warrant any japa. I know of a dude that moved from $15/hr in 2022 to $100/hr in January 2023. They guy said “I’m a night animal now o!”

If single then Gulf nations more anywhere, as rent and transportation are cheap.
You will save more money in Gulf nation than any Western country.
Remote working is far better in other western Africa countries than Nigeria esp place Like Senegal, Togo and Benin Rep

What makes you say this?
Peace of mind
No police embarrassing and threatening you because you are driving a nice car.
Better security
Good electricity
Good value for your rent.
Nobody is going to keep harassing because you have a laptop with you.
Even though Nigeria government is far richer than those countries yet their health care is little better than Nigeria.

God forbid, it’s when someone is seriously sick, the person will know that Nigeria health system is the worst in the world

Okay 👍. But wasn’t this the same situation in Ghana until Yahoo boys went to spoil that place. Can the same not happen if there is a mass migration of our Yahoo boys to the countries you mentioned?

The only caution to Nigerians: Please don’t discuss politics too deep with anyone in any francophone country.

There are more security police and political informants than you might want to guess.

There is a reason why it is only Ghana and Nigeria that has been having democratic changes in the last 20 years. Dont find out the hard way.

That is why the few Nigerians in francophones are not publicizing it.

Besides, English makes it easier for the stereotypical yahoo boy to thrive in Ghana.

To thrive in a French speaking country, you must be patient and ready to learn.

Oh sure for that one.
Well, must Nigerians, I knew in those countries then never get involved in their politics ooh even in Ghana.

Generally, Nigerians don’t get involve in politics unless they have been living in that country for over 20 years.

You know our normal beer parlor politics gist in Nigeria.

It is easy to start asking foolish questions like ‘why is the eyadema family the only people ruling you this people? Shey you cant vote them out ni’?

Nigeria G-boys are everywhere oooh, in fact they are common in Senegal, CIV, Benin Rep and Ghana.
That’s the reason the Nigeria Amb to Senegal then said if any Nigerian working in Senegal legally, is arrested, they will come to any place.
