Then invest 10M in business.

I stay in the U.S and I can tell you right now an Average American does not have 20 million Naira saved or $10,000, either way the amount of money does not matter as much as what you decide to do with it and this can be the difference between rundown and wealth!

Still don't understand your point. You make it sound like it is horrible in the state. Move back to Nigeria if that is your point.

I am guessing you have a green card and you have had to pay for school with fafsa before?

Not only a green card, I just got my Blue American passport this year. Yes, I've had to pay using Fafsa including getting Direct loans to cover the tuition for two MBA degrees.

1. I had already said the U.S will always give you options and it depends on you and how much you want to succeed.
does that mean everyone in aAmerica succeed automatically but one is bigger than the other? why then do we have so many homeless and hopeless beggars.?

2. I did not attend a community college and i did not attend an ivy league. Not everyone will get into yale and havard. But i did go to a reputable institution for my masters.
tell us the name of the University

3. I signed an initial 4 year contract as a soldier upon which i recieved so much goodies/benefits/perks/ including 120k for school, that i decided to make it permanent. Hence, why i said it depends on you and your choices.
how come those hopeless hobos ain't doing any of that? I mean really, 120k should be enough to set anyone up for life.. buy house and live good life.

4. Unlike Nigeria where you have to pay out of pocket, you can get a loan to go to school.
you can get a loan to go to school, but we are talking about 20million here.. you can go to best University in Nigeria, with small part of the money, do your masters with it and also, invest in that same money.. can you do that in America?

5. America gives you multiple choices.
Same as Nigeria if you have 20million in your account.

Re: 20 Million Naira Or Green Card: Which Would You Choose? by fostermd(m): 9:04pm On Jul 13, 2015
With 20 million you will realise there are medicall conditions that cannot be treated living in naija.Many Nigerian die unnecessarily from preventable illnesses,infections,emergencies,asthmatic attacks,childbirth,road traffic accident;insecurity,lack of opportunities,no fuel,no electricity,no water,no good roads,the list is endless.Even with one billion I will still choose to live abroad where I am.
I do not lock my doors when going out or at night before sleeping,I can plan ahead as policies here are predictable.you don't need connection to get any job,it's based on your merit,we have had medical issues and the ambulance is in front of the house in five minutes or less,same with fire service.i have lived here ten years and the light has never blinked.there are more than enough opportunities,grants,loans to improve yourself academically without help of God father.if u have issue,you have access to Govt ministers if u really need to..u get audience.
How can your 20 million naira in naija make one's life better than what I describe above.i live in one of the European countries.kids are on school break now,the have already paid my kids the money for the school uniform,shoes,stationeries etc...

Read it again! America is what you make of it but it's certainly not a bed of roses. I'm doing more than okay over here but if I received an offer that could match my monthly salary of about (700,000 naira), I would leave this place and never come back! America is wonderful but there's no place like home, no place like 9ja wallahi!

I really am trying to be patient with you because you are talking out of ignorance. On your point about why everyone is not doing it, well you have to live here to understand. People are generally lazy and want to live on welfare. There is no way to help people like that. Also one out of two Nigerian you see is here illegally so how can they achieve anything? On you point about the name of the university, well, i might as well google a name for you and there would be no way for you to verify, so what's the point?
On your point about the 120k, every soldier is given a certain amount to go to school. It's called the G.I bill. You can only use it for school, rent and tuition. Quality education guarantees you a six figure job so do the math. Again, i stress that you do understand that 20mil is only 10k. That's my tax refund this year alone.

Lol..so most Canadians have up to 20million naira ( equivalent) in their account Better don't rush..d grass isn't always greener on d other side ohhhh.
Obviously u know little abt living and working in Canada. Would you prefer sticking ur ass here in a country whose currency has dwindling value or stay in and work in a country with very robust economy. Canada presently has nearly the best mortgage facility. Do u know you while in Canada, you can secure a mortgage facility for a minimum period of time, you're to live in it while you make your monthly contributions. If you so desire to terminate this mortgage contract, you will recover all the payments you've made so far for a house you equally live in as well. They also have the best paying job. My dear, in all frankness, you see 20m naira as a whole lot of money but I see it as a mere paper in a country as this.

20M bucks? Sound tempting, but that's just a lil more than the annual income of a qualified plumber in Canada.
