Gerrard59: In my opinion, no. Just as there are mediocre American public schools, there are literally thousands of high performing public and charter schools in America and while I’m sure Nigeria has good schools, why would parents living in America send their children back to Nigeria to attend elementary, middle, and high school? Let me clarify— my previous reply was taken out of context. Sukkot said salaries in America were drained by bills, taxes, and school fees to which I replied that there are no school fees because all children can attend public schools for free. Then of course to deflect, the goalposts were moved to something else about schools. 4 Likes |

1stGenAmerican: Why was Charter schools created in the US when there were thousands of public and private schools. Without delving into the history of public schools over the years, I can summarize it as "to improve student learning" and the public schools were inadequate. As expected there are good public schools, but that has diminished over the years and the govt is now trying to give it attention. As for parents sending their children to Nigeria, I can only assume they feel they will get better education at that level comparatively. Otherwise I don't see any reasons why many private schools have foreigners in good numbers. After their secondary education they leave the country for higher education. 1 Like |

Do what works for you? Everybody has different paths to their success. People leave for different reasons. There is good and evil everywhere, you could get robbed in Nigeria, you could get robbed anywhere else. Even your organs can be harvested or you can get trafficked. Do what works for you? If you feel that you will be better off somewhere else, make good plans and leave. It's not about money sometimes, it's standard of living. Also, many parents and great grand parents migrated from their states and villages to Lagos yearssss back for opportunities. Their children are actually benefitting from that migration. A landlord in Nigeria, what about landlords in the US, Canada or UK, what is wrong with that. I know many folks that have more than 1 house in the UK. I know folks that have houses in Canada. These are fully paid mortgages. Don't just give people the bad stories, let them hear the success stories too. 9 Likes 1 Share |

sukkot: U don't know anything about doctor's salary in the UK. Some of my colleagues paid corporate tax of 50k to HMRC working as a GP. And if u know anything about company tax, what he paid wasn't 18 % of his company income. New generation of wealthy migrants are emerging in the UK, it's not what u left behind when most naija migrants were illegals or low skilled hustlers. The average price in my estate is around 400k yet we keep seeing more blacks everyday at the bus stop in the estate. Nigerians are following the Asian route of self independence rather than the 9 to 5 job synonymous with Nigerians in the past. My aunt has 4 nurseries in London and she's yet to stop. Her friend has a care home in London while another of my colleagues own one here in Midlands. We now actively encourage solid middle class amongst us to buy 2nd or 3rd house in the UK rather than building in naija. Virtually all my friends have kids attending private primary schools, it's the in thing if u can afford it. Give it 10 years, we will change the financial demography of blacks in the UK. U guys that came in 20 years ago did a terrible job in attaining financial freedom, u guys were probably carried away by the good roads, 24 hrs light or maybe the women; while the Asians silently took over. Now compare achievement within the Asian and black community. An Asian friend of mine has 7 care homes in the UK. Tell me how his generation will suffer in this UK. It's not all your sob or regret story. Recent migrants has will have their own challenge no doubt. Overall, UK is not for the weak. U have to be hardworking and smart, but it's rewarding if u know what u doing. One of my church members who is a carer and hubby a security guard both build 4 houses, an event centre and a hotel in Ibadan area within 10 yrs of coming to uk. The man now spend more time on naija while the wife is still here. Now tell me how they will regret relocating to the UK. 18 Likes 5 Shares |

Rilwayne001: U are very ignorant of the country u live. U said self employed don't pay tax. Go to alaba or Ladipi market n see how Lagos state govt tax the hell out of those traders. From omo online, to touts, to local govt council. Yet Lagos state revenue office will still come n collect their own. I've not mentioned hotels, restaurants, eateries, supermarkets etc ask them wetin dem eye dey see from tax revenue officials. You guys paint a rosy picture of Nigeria to deluded Nigerians living abroad. That's why a lot of them that return home eventually run back after seeing reality. 5 Likes 4 Shares |

It is very convenient to criticize what you don't know or ever experienced. How can a sane person who is smart and diligent have £1k at retirement, it is just laughable. I can conveniently tell u such person has at least a house worth more and would had lived a beautiful life than someone earning Ur dream figures in 9ja. Many will say shit about this move but will jump at it if they had the means or offered a visa. To be clear, I am not saying we should put ourselves under pressure cos of friends or people we know are moving. But if u can afford it MAKE THE MOVE URSELF cos it's fucking worth it. sukkot: 3 Likes |

studyless123:you analyse am well. Wetin make me laff taya when I saw 1stGenAmerican post earlier was I know damn well and sure that if a garbage disposal guy who ticks all the other boxes ask am out before she had access to this info she shared, she would 99% turn him down....if a garbage disposal guy ask am out now after having access to this info she would 99% still turn him down🤣🤣🤣. We know there is dignity in labor but that bias go everly still dey💯. Same reason a babe that works in KPMG will likely not accept to roll with a lastma officer stationed by the side of the road despite that he ticks all the other boxes, even tho those guys are making maybe close to half a million every month in illegal deals. All in all, I don't know why all these threads keep popping up. Anyone wey wan go, na their business. Conversely, anyone wey wan stay na their business. Even tho my patriotism don die, as a businessman I go everly still stay to milk the mula from this mammoth crowd wey dey here. Those wey wan go collect there, no supos give anybody headache na... whatever challenges are to be faced here or yonder also no supos give anybody headache aside the person facing it. Ire o! |

Guy this post just shows u no know as e dey go kankan. I'm sure u got most of Ur info from unreliable sources. How can u say nurses get £12. I'll advice u get Ur story right and stop confusing people. To be frank, Japa is good if u can stomach it. Consider benefits of health u don't pay for, no police harassment or herdmen wahala just to mention a few. If you don't work, u no go chop and that's just it.

Rilwayne001: Tax is tax, u pay tax out of your income. The fancy name given to it is inconsequential. Lagos business owners are subjected to multiple taxations by different revenue agencies. Go to alaba and ask those traders their ordeal with Lagos state govt, U will write a book. Right from apapa exit gate all the way to their shops in Ladipo, it's taxation galore. Why do u think APC govt is very unpopular amongst traders and business owners in Lagos- taxation without accountability . If not for the senseless Gbadebo guy with his oral diarrhea, APC was a goner in Lagos. 4 Likes 1 Share |
