Boss man no be money but remember i get boss and my boss still get boss and they get higher fortnight payment.

25 per hour is not money bro , atleast its not enough to afford to rent a 1 bedroom flat and still eat in my city. Im not even adding making car payments and saving. To live a decent life in any major north american city one needs atleast 75k annually and thats the bare minimum to rent , pay bills , get a car loan , save and still go out

Celepope:

Here lies one of the major reasons Nigerians abroad go into fraudulent activities. How many Americans earn this much? Just imagine this dude's statement. Very sad

Dont go and bunch yourself with north american problems because you and an american arent coming from the same place.

So because most north americans are bums dosent mean i have to me.

whatever you do in life, politics controls it, so if u want to be super great, u must consider politics and play politics.

My political nature comes from family background, and because I know one can't do without politics if u aspire to be at the topmost top in life.

My interest in life bothers around finance/money, technology/ICT, politics and romance, then others.

I am a programmer from childhood. I code too. I develop apps. I code for fun, and I write too.

I can never disclose my domains or sites cos I have so many spies and enemies here due to my blunt political views and criticisms against the barbaric government of Buhari and APC!

I have had several attacks, so don't ask for further details from me.

I have worked with Russian programmers, I have few Israeli friends who are also coders, so I couldn't argue Fiverr cos Israelis are as great as US, and if they exist for another 100yrs, they will join US and China, maybe with Biafra too wink

See eh, I live in the Netherlands. I am so comfortable here that moving to the USA will reduce my quality of life. America has no public healthcare system, and healthcare is the number one reason for bankruptcy in the US, meanwhile here, even if my medical bills cost 100 million dollars, I won't pay a dime. It is completely free. Education is almost free, and as NL is a country of the EU, its citizens are entitled to live anywhere and access quality services like citizens there. Education in the Nordics are completely free, and I will take a course in maybe Sweden or Finland next year, and it will be completely free for me. An American ex that came to my uni for exchange could not believe that it was free for us to study, and she has close to 150k usd in student loan. Imagine starting life as a young adult with that amount owed to a bank, and it grows with interest. Just in case you do not know, student debt is a common cause of suicide in the US among young people.

The US is not safe, with the gun problems, I can't imagine raising a kid there. How about the foods? do I need to remind that the US is the most obese country in the world? Americans are fat because the food there is horrible. GMO in foods without the label. Over here, every foods has a label if its GMO or organic, so I know what I am eating. And I do not like that government spend money bombing other countries, policing the world and destabilizing smaller countries. Also, mobility in EU is so efficient. Go to ryanair.com, wizzair.com, or easyjet.com, you will see cheap flight for as little as 5euros to let's say the UK from Germany. Travelling is cheap, efficient and awesome. It is difficult for me not to travel at least once a month to a different country. In the winter if I need sun, the Spanish island in Africa, or Malta, or somewhere in Italy will do. Like snow? go to Scandinavia, the EU is like a giant, multicultural country, and I love it.

The US taxes its citizens on income they earn abroad. SO if you are an American working in the UK, you pay tax from your salary in the UK to the US. I am trying not to write a long sentence here, but if you wanna know exactly how I feel like a European to move to the US, read this thread on Quora, with European telling you why the US is a bad deal for to move to. I tell you in all honesty, I won't if you gave me an American passport. I can visit, but will never live there.

This is where Black human beings are terrible. Nigeria has the potential to be great with its diversity in culture but the fundamental disease of being a black person won't allow this country be great. Nowadays I see being Black as a genetic disorder because of the way people in Black nations love to see their neighbours suffer. Just look at Nigeria for example.

Nigeria would have been the greatest country in the world if it was a white nation!

most jobs give you health care - moreover, in the USA, NO HOSPITAL WILL DENY U TREATMENT AS LONG AS YOU ARE HUMAN BEING - yes that will be a debt for u to pay later when you get well fully --- but you will be treated even if you dont have one penny in your pocket.. IT IS THE LAW.. and the same hospital will give u a list of charities who pay for medicals for poor people so u can call them later to pay ur bills.... so whats the fuss about ? THE REASON PEOPLE CANT PAY THEIR BILLS IS THAT HOSPITALS WILL TREAT U FOR COMMON SKIN STYE INFLAMATION and charge $2,000 which normaly is should net even be more than $200. NOW TRUMP HAS CREATED A SYSTEM THRU HHS that will enable patients to compare the cost of treating ailments across counties within each state so people can make smart decisions. SO GONE ARE THE SAYS WHEN HOSPITAL WILL TREAT YOU AND CHARGE 3K WITH THE PATIENT SHOCKED TO THEIR BONES. Now the patient can go online and see what the competing hospitals are offering to treat the ailment and this will soon bring the cost down drastically

I like the way you explained the healthcare

My brother lives there. I know they pay well but cost of living is high as well. I know that for sure.

Nairalanduseles is right. It all depends on where you live. If you live close to the city central in Sydney and Melbourne, cost of rent will usually be higher.

But there are other lovely places to live with cheaper rent like Newcastle in New South Wales. So, it all depends on where you live. Most persons like living in the busy, bustling city central. But for person like me, I will prefer a quiet inner supurb with lots of greeneries and gardens.

There is no need to scare people away from going to the US legally on a visiting or student visas.

After their three months legal stay in the US they can get an American to fall in love, marry and then can change their temporary status to permanent status via adjustment of status to obtain a green card. Unfortunately this is one of the weak US immigration loopholes that most visiting and student immigrants have used and are still using.

How is that unfortunate?

Majority of Nigeria citizens outside her country don't know how to fix easy math, moreover they want to live extravagant life higher than their income, imagine that guy talking about car loan, why get a car loan when 2 fortnight checks can get you a car to move around.... Lol

UK will die a natural death because they created evil in Africa and still supporting evil in Nigeria today!

Yes my hatred for UK is in two parts; one for their evil deeds in Nigeria and secondly for their crooked wicked ways.

Despite stealing from Nigeria and Africa, how many free immigration program do they run to help Nigerians and Africans enter UK to survive

Despite being the colonial masters of Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia and knowing Nigeria's official language is English why are they still milking poor Nigerians through IELTS before they allow them come into UK to study or work

UK have has no innovative brain to make money again, so they rely on crook crooked ways like stealing, and indirect slavery of black Africans through study in UK, IELTs, etc.


Their crooked ways can't allow them think and invent useful technologies that will boost their economy like US, China, etc.

I pity any Nigeria Nigerian that's living in THE UK or planning to move to UK there, they are better in Nigeria or elsewhere. They are better in Nigeria or elsewhere. * See below

**They tax their citizens so much. So it cancels the nonsense free education and healthcare cos UK citizens pay for it through their heavy taxation which make makes them poor and almost living from hand to mouth.

You can hardly see a Nigerian living in UK and doing very well financially, very rare, and if you ever see one, he or she is either a doctor or a nurse

From the point you complained about IELTS I had to make some corrections in your posts to make you see why the British requires IELTS even though Nigeria is an English-speaking country. Call it extortion, but I see them trying to preserve their language. Have you even heard the Indians speak English?

I know if we had a system to preserve our indigenous languages it would be a fvck fest because:

1. We still use English alphabets and special characters eg. é, à, ö to express our language in writing unlike the Russians, Japanese, Koreans etc that have a unique writing system for their own languages.

2. The problem of which language(s) to preserve will arise as any tribe whose language is not going to be preserved will suspect a systematic elimination of a part of their identity.

3. We are Black people, we suck at getting things right especially things that have to do with national progression.

4. The list is not exhaustive, but I will stop here.

I will accept some of your errors as the fault of your keyboard autocorrect (it happens to the best of us, including me), but if you wrote this text in an IELTS exam, the best you would score is band 5 in writing.

NB:
* Correction due to bad punctuation.

** Also bad punctuation.

first tell us the value of Australian dollar compared to US dollar before talking about their minimum wage. Someone earning $20 in Australia is the same as someone earning $13 in the US.
