That's because you have never crossed the boundaries of Africa

See how much plumber make on the average, what they make in a week is probably what you haven't seen in a year in your little village where you live

What they make in a year. I doubt you have ever seen it in your entire life

Have you compared that $30 with what the average IT person would earn?

Blood money, my ex is doing well hat there, he went to their school there. He came back last month for vacation.

How much is "blood money"? What would "blood money" translate to as monthly pay? $5k? $10k? $20k? I have an ex school mate pulling $30k per month in Tech and he doesn't consider that "blood money"

What's with Nigerians always advising others to learn menial skills before relocating?

What's wrong with us aspiring to be more like Indians who have taken over the tech industry where they reside? Higher pay, breaks the seeming glass ceiling, and the attendant social class makes it easier for your immigrant countrymen to be respected.

Our psyche has been destroyed. That's why. Cos I don't get why why people will say a barber makes "blood money" abroad when an equally skilled and experienced tech person would be the one whose "blood" they will be looking for, to make the so-called "blood money". Why plumbing? Or carpentry? Why not Accounting or Finance? Or any of the other better paying, less physically tasking jobs? I mean don't get me wrong...I personally like plumbing and carpentry because of the outright shoddy nonsense our handy people do here. But why bother to emigrate to be a carpenter when I can emigrate to become a Finance professional?

Don't mind the ignoramus. He thinks everywhere is like Nigeria, if I tell him the highest paying job you can get in Canada is truck driving I'm sure he won't believe it.y cousin in Canada rented his house from a truck driver and he told me he has several similar houses in Alberta. Infact, that my cousin has dusted his certificate and he's learning how to get the truck driving license from his landlord.
Everywhere is not Nigeria and you require a license to practice most of those vocations abroad.

This has got to be the biggest piece of exaggerated reporting I've read. A Truck driver earns more than a tech CEO in Canada? Or more than a neurosurgeon? Please

Not much. It would just make it easier to get jobs in warehouses or factories.

Or worst case, construction sites. Don't know how people can be exalting forklift driving as a lucrative job when it has very limited transferable skills

This is one thing that actually pays for new migrants that are hustlers. Aslong as they can get their trucker driver's license.

Which many people cannot get upon touch down abroad. A truck driver here that emigrates and an ordinary person with no trucking experience would both have to attend the same type of training abroad to skill up and be licenced

Indians want to emigrate to work as techies and in the health industry.
Nigerians want to emigrate to do menial jobs and glorified househelp jobs they call "caregivers", cleaning poop.

The Filipinos are still battling the call girl and househelp stigma even though they do diverse work.

Nigerians just want money regardless of how degrading it is. We can be more. We should aspire to be more.

IT is not for everybody, everybody can’t follow one direction.
And check my previous comment, all this handwork is not as it seem for an immigrant. You don’t just learn this skills and enter the US and begin to work immediately, but provided you have your legal status settled and free to work, you can do plumbing and make it big in America. People even do smaller jobs and have built mansions in Nigeria

Just as IT isn't for everyone, so is plumbing or mechanic or barbing or tailoring. Not everyone can do those. So all this talk that they pay "blood money" needs to stop. And where you say:
provided you have your legal status settled and free to work, you can do plumbing and make it big in America.

Is it not the same with IT? You can get into America and learn IT just like you can go in there and learn plumbing. Plumbing is a very technical profession very similar to the level technical stuff you find in engineering. How many random people can size a water pump? Or calculate the required pressure for water to sufficiently run in a house? Anyone who has the mental capacity to study plumbing, in my opinion, also has the mental capacity to study IT. And they should go for IT instead of going abroad to be a plumber.

Dirty jobs to you because you have been programmed to think everybody must be doing white collar jobs so you can look down on the rest like they dont matter.

The dignity of labor is well respected abroad and all animals are equal. You will see a beautiful girl will be proud to say her father is a plumber and that's her family business.
You will see a normal white babe or dude will say proudly that her family are into bakery.

And that's the business they do they use in living a quality life and sending their kids through college.

The kids even finish high school and start the family business.... they live a far better life than you..
You don't look down on labor in Western world

Yea, KFC started by cooking few tasty chickens in his neighborhood and boom! It has been established all over the world. He made it at old age after doing many other jobs and failed. He was around 80 years then. You can Google about him. There is dignity in labour.

Your mouth is dirty I swear grin

Understand though that an American dog is in a better position than a Nigerian dog. Yes theybare both dogs but Bingo is never on the same level with say a Golden Retriever. A golden retriever would see a dentist when it has toothache. Bingo will be beaten silly for not cracking it's bone with it's broken tooth

Sure but a dog remains a dog and will be seen as a dog.

Im not talking about the money. Any idiot can make good money in this life. Doesnt change the fact that is not a dirty, labour intensive and smelly job

That is a very poor comparison because okada riding is a flat line . There is no upgrading or elevation. You are riding the same bike and earning the same money year in year out. It is a dead end that only looks good to the short term instant gratification seekers.

The above is a schedule of projected earnings for tradesmen in the uk




Regardless of what u do it is u that determines to get elevated or not. But when u talk about pay many okada riders earn far more than office graduates the only difference is that the job is dirty and stressful

Find all the people I mentioned especially fan Kennedy read all his books to get good at marketing.

Read thegaryhalbertletters and marketingbullets by Gary halbert and Gary bencivenga.

If you can follow Gary halbert advice of writing by hand 100 of the best sales letter in the world you're garanntee to be a great copywriter without any course

Only few people follow this advice they successed in confusing themselves it does not work.

Dan Kennedy follow that advice I've followed the advice too but not 100 sha I was lazy but I still do it
