My 500k,with the potential to increase this, is preferable to that $3k which comes after slaving my ass on multiple jobs a day in the USA, paying numerous unexplained taxes and stands the risk of being treated as a 3rd class citizen with no right.

Not bragging bro, in Nigeria I live happily like a king
Stop speaking for others when you only know about you
I work 1 job,i dont slave my ass,never done anything manual here and take home more than that after taxes
Numerous unexplained taxes?..
Lmaooiii...spoken like a true nigerian who knows not what they speak
Every single tax is explained in your tax brochure and p/s...out of like 5k take home,i paid about 1.2k in taxes which leaves me with 3.8k to do anything with...1.9k goes to home and car and other expenses leaving me with 1.9k to do with as i pleasr
Get some education begore you come here,mix with people and not just Africans cos you are too scared to explore and stop being like your fore fathers who believe all they can do is drive cabs

P/S i know at least 6 nigerians doing better than i am and none of them has been involved in crazy many labor and p/s United states is much more than texas,new york,chicago and Maryland which are the places tou all rush to

God bless you big time for this, people in Nigeria tend to spoil their image , Africa is the best place in the planet,the most fertile land,west Africa are the kings of gold on the planet and if not for bad leaders Nigeria was the second in oil in the world, most people out there know the truth tho, but their hunger won't let dem think, we just need leaders that are not greedy, so we can move forward
U re absolutely correct bro

I know a couple of guys who were doing relatively fine in Nigeria. The left in search of greener pasture

Almost all of them are regretting it.

One of them warned me not to contemplate leaving Nigeria
Dude relocated to Canada with his family
A guy sharing flat with them started fuuucking his wife.

Dude can't dare do much about it
He is stuck
If he files for divorce he loses everything
and the guy fuuuuucking his wife will no longer be hiding to do it

With due respect to u bro, this thread isn't about job and its specifics. Rather its about the quality of life obtainable in Africa

And my point is, one can live a comfortable life in Nigeria with a monthly income of 500k. 500k monthly income is not uncommon in places like PH, UYO, Lag and maybe abj

africa is not better than america but it has the potential to be great but its not being utilized.if africa is better how come africans are migrating in their thousands crossing through deserts and oceans in a migration similar to that of the great exodus in the bible.America has now bcome the biblical canaan flowing with milk and honey.

Africa is not better but Africa is good. We have a rich history, rich culture artifacts and lots of natural resources.

Africa is just cursed with terrible leaders. But the people and the society is good, (discount the few bad eggs, they are everywhere).

However foreign media do us no good and we don't do ourselves good either. Example is Nairaland where the average youth has nothing good to say about their nation, women, culture, religion etc.

We will never be taken seriously if we don't take ourselves seriously.

Our people say, the owner calls his house wretched and the neighbors help him set it on fire.
[color=#990000][/color

I like your comment but the part you advise the youth to take this entity corrupted by our selfish leader serious is a Capital No for me. If I may ask, what is the cap btw the rich and poor. As human we have 3 fundamental needs, food, cloth and shelter, naturally life has been given to us freely by God. In Nigeria, government has not live up to expectations. Everyone occuping seat of power in Nigeria are there to rape the nation to death.. We generate our light, generate water, build house we live in, pay for security, sometimes we contribute money to construct road we walk on. What is the responsibility of government to her citizen? If life were something to purchase with cash we wouldn't have been alive today. Nigeria government is wicked, and we will continue to demarket this fake product until the producer do something about it.

See you...you spoke about people enslaving their lives to get 3k monthly but at the same time,you want to overlook how people get 500k monthly in nigeria..you are either a gman..in oil or in govt to make such monthly or a kidnapper...if i was into any of such here,i would be speaking in millions not in thousands

You speak of quality of life,does your enviroment come into play as well for if that comes into play..how do you explain to me that constabt noise from a genrator is much more pleasing than peace and constant power supply..how do you explain to me that messed up roads that will cripple ny multi million naira car when i can drive it on roads that are better
How do you explain to me that living in fear of SARS is better than an accountable policing system

Are you sincerely opining that unless one is a billionaire or related to one, he can't be comfortable in Nigeria?

All these ur 'no lite, no this and no that' can be fixed with very few millions.

I repeat again, I'm very comfortable in Nigeria

Africa has more natural resources than the whole North and South American continents...but what we don't have is belief in self. We have very low self esteem as a people, and don't believe we have all it takes to be greater than America.

Senegalese-American Entertainer, Akon has shared an interesting perspective on why Africa is better than America.
According to the music mogul, it is the media that is portraying Africa in the negative light:

‘the images they show about Africa are so negative. It’s conditioning what we believe. Africa has a rich story too. More people died in Chicago, more school shootings in America" he said

He further stated in the video that Africans need to start telling their positive stories to their children and stop the spread of negative news about the continent, as the media are always quick to pick this up and spread further to the rest of the civilized world.
