Re: My Monthly Savings In Canada by SlowlybtSurely: 11:47pm On Apr 17, 2023 |
I have been following this thread since the beginning and here are my 2 cents. Nigerians in Nigeria so desperately want to believe the narrative that most Nigerians abroad are suffering; that the only jobs available to us are menial jobs, washing plates, and cleaning bums. Living from paycheck to paycheck. It makes them feel better about themselves and the situations they have found themselves in that country. I do not bother arguing. I just let them wallow in their acclaimed "comfort". Abroad is what you make of it. I always say that if you see someone who is here legally and has been here for a few years and is suffering. . . it is entirely their fault. The system is set up in a way that you can literally achieve whatever you want. It is not rocket science. You can shoot for the star. If you're in a career that is not paying enough, switch careers. No one considers your age here. Ask questions. Network with Nigerians and non-Nigerians who have these high-paying jobs. They will show you the way. Go back to school if that is what it takes. Get those certifications and you will be glad you did. The higher you are on that corporate ladder, the more you make and the less stressful your job actually is. And no, this OP is not the exception. There are plenty of immigrants doing really well here. We came here a little less than 5 years ago and now make about 20k per month after tax as a family and we are not the only ones in our circle making that much. We save/invest more than 50% of our income. We were also high earners in Nigeria but I cannot remember any month we could save more than 20% of our salaries. To top it all off, these jobs are not stressful. Some of us work from the comfort of our homes. I dare say, we are all comfortable and not one of us regrets leaving Nigeria. OP, congratulations. I have been following your journey and can tell you that the sky is just the beginning for you and your family. You have the right mindset and I see you soaring so high, which gives me so much joy. Do not try to convince people on here about your pay. Keep documenting here for you to look back on someday and see how far you have come. 17 Likes 1 Share |

Tadadobe: Most people needs to go through financial education, I will not obviously leave my entire life in Canada if it's me once I get to 55yo am back to Nigeria to enjoy my hustling money. If I put 120k$ which is around 60m in naira to a dividend paying stocks like zenith Bank or GTb I can be earning 12myearly in dividend 1 Like |

Nnamz: Please use the money to buy stocks like zenith or GTB bank that is around 55m naira that can be earning u around 6m in dividend yearly. No stories is better than being idle in the bank and better than doing business u don't know |

SlowlybtSurely: Abi1985 come and read o. All of you that always criticize abroad whereas you have never stepped a foot in the same abroad, we know una o. Read this write-up and see that those that always complain are illegal immigrants who went there through the back door. Thanks my brother for this write-up. At least we have those that are doing well for themselves oever there. Only the illegal lazy ones always nag, complain and enjoying the lawlessness of Nigeria and they call that freedom. Refusing to pay tax, beating traffic lights on the road, extorting people illegally of their hard earned money, are what they called having freedom in Nigeria. Abi1985 what do you have to say about this? |
Re: My Monthly Savings In Canada by Nobody: 4:35pm On May 11, 2023 |
Mcslize: Why is reading so hard to comprehend ? When did I say one should avoid taxes? Even fellow British and American complain of being overtax yet they pay. Abi do you enjoyed being tax to the core that you question your sanity. I never said one should not japa except you are doing well.for those who are well in Nigeria, they do not need to japa , they can visit. Never spoke about breaking traffic rules ; traffic rules are good and I support traffic rule. It maintain order and against hard earned money illegally exhorted. For the illegals, I do not blame them - not everyone is fortunate to come to abroad legally. Se illegal work harder than those who are legal and if they have choose to be legal , they will be. Consider yourself blessed to be legal abroad |

aremso:it's obvious you are a marketing their stocks. It's well |
Re: My Monthly Savings In Canada by aremso(m): 7:13am On May 13, 2023 |
smartkester: Lolllllllll have been investing in stocks since 2006, very obvious here most don't know how money can work for them they just work for money. I will never leave a dime in my account not working. I collected 1.4m from UBA as dividend not long. Very good to safe and best to invest the saved money. If I can work hard in Canada and safe like 150k in 5yrs then put the money in Zenith bank share then I will be earning around 10m yearly in dividend that is around 20k$ don't just work for money let money work for you in return. Most people abroad will work longer than expected for money that is the fact. |
Re: My Monthly Savings In Canada by Deltayankeeboi: 8:16am On May 13, 2023 |
aremso:You have been involved in stocks since 2006 and with all these your claims, you are not yet a multimillionaire. The 20,000 dollars you talk about is way below the average yearly salary of someone who lives and works abroad. Keep deceiving yourself. |

atutupoyoyo2211: You are quite inspiring Boss... Pls I need a clarification. From your explanation here, it seems one can get the visa but still delay leaving for Canada for another 3 years?.. |
Re: My Monthly Savings In Canada by ednut1(m): 9:26pm On May 14, 2023 |
JhyMedex:with Permanent residency. You go to canada and activate it. They send your pr card to the address you provided. In the next 5 years you need to stay in the country for a combined 2 years to renew the permanent residency, if you stay 3 out of 5 years you qualify for citizenship. Its called soft landing. So many people come and go back to their countries. 3 Likes |
