For real Nigeria is in a big mess.

quick question: what makes you think if you dad went abroad you would be richer than him now?

If my dad had sold his 8 milliion naira property in 1998 and invested it in a more SANE currency. I will never be as rich as him for at least 4 generations (400 years ). This is because he would be worth millions in dollars. WIth the way my income is now, i doubt i would ever earn that during my lifetime.

Hope this answers your question

They are the elite based on the 'hustle' of their parents.

Question now is, what is their hustle?

What are their expectations?

If they have a car and home already, I'm assuming they want more.

All well and good, but is that a realistic expectation? High school fees doesn't translate to high academic standard. His points are lame and shallow.

If you have all these, then your only rightful complaint should be issues relating to insecurity.

Wherever else you find yourself you would hardly have more than a car and home.

In probably on all the 180 countries on the planet Earth except Nigeria

in 1998, His 8 million Naira was worth 400,000 Dollars ( £500,000). Even if it was a random decent house he bought in the UK 20 years ago with his money Jeje.

That property would have been worth at least £2,500,000 today date.


Hope you understand now

Meanwhile, checked out the dude’s bio and understand why it’s perhaps best for him to migrate...
He’s a “writer” with ChannelsTV (a joke writer on ‘The Other Show’), trying to dabble in cryptocurrency.

It is definitely poverty mindset Bro LOL believe me.

Quick question... What is your confidence that investing half that money like you say for example would bring good returns, or the investment won't even die or rot away with time?

You people don't still know government policies do a lot to make a business float or die! Example... Do you know how many cement factories and companies died for dangote to be what it is today due to the government of obasanjo giving it the only license for imports at that time?

Do you know that singular move gave dangote the lion share of cement sales in Nigeria today? Then we had elephant cement, rock cement and many others... But today Rock cement is dead and you will see a thousand bags of dangote cement before you'd see 1 bag of Elephant cement.


The multiplier effect of paying 3.5m per term is absurd to a reasonable and prudent earner. with 7m you will get a good masters degree in oxford. i will rather chose dangote as a father rather than for my parents to pay such huge amounts in secondary school and i will still need to husstle abroad rather than being the CEO of my father's company after graduation

This administration you are rejoicing over is killing the middle class by its policies and not necessarily check mating the corruption and thievery still going on unabated at the top and that is why we are complaining!

The question is what did their parents actually do to afford that lifestyle for them back in the day? 3.5 mil per term school is definitely not for the middle class, even less 20 years ago. So why don't people like him just do what the parents did, continue running the family business and just keep getting richer?

My guess is that there was never any business to begin with. Maybe their parents were the jobbers who brought Nigeria to its knees in the first place, now they are either retired or dead, so no more access to free money. Of course the kids of today's political class and their proxies are the ones attending 3.5 million per term schools now. And guess what? Themselves and their parents are eating the future of Nigeria, today. Those kids will surely come back here too, to lament when their parents are dead.

Spoken like a wise man.
Thanks wink

so in the US or abroad they dont have police that kill innocent citizens?

Is that why Baba Suwe carried his son to the USA and many others are finding ways to get there and stay?
Or maybe it is the Americans that are praying and fasting for Nigerian visa to come and stay here since their own police kill innocent citizens to just like ours
