rentAcock:You spoilt your write up with the last part of extending your life span. What is the life expectancy of Nigerians? Is it up to 60? Go and check that of US, Canada and other westerncountries. Nigerians need to know that some people traveled out just to have that good life and live like a normal human being and not the kind of jaga jaga life we have in Nigeria. Until you sleep without the noise from your gen, bikes and until you stay with power for months and years without a blink in power you won't still realize why some people decide to go. 6 Likes 1 Share |

eazzzy1: Thank you my brother. Tell this young generation who thinks migrations is the solutions to theirs problems. When i said that i relocated back to Nigeria after about 35years in U.S. They called me frustrated returnee, not knowing that some Nigerians will love to relocate to their father's one day. I was lucky to have traveled when i was 19years old.These wannabes do not know what an average Nigerian go through in U.S. or Canada. This is why i advise Nigerians who are doing fine financially in Nigeria to stay put because it's easier to make money and maintain it in Nigeria than U.S. Make use of the opportunities that Nigeria has to offers. Chinese, Arabs and Indians see opportunities in Nigeria while most Nigerians see no 24/7 electricity, no good education, no good healthcare because they lack vision. They prefer slavery than freedom. Most Nigerians don't know that America is a journey of no returns, 90 to 95% of Nigerians in U.S. today will die and be buried over there. Because as time goes on, they will get older and will lack resource to relocate back to Nigeria. Their children will abandon them in the nursing home and that's when they start to regret their coming to America. This is American way, it is real if you get old in U.S. The thought of that forced me to plan for a dignified retirement in Nigeria. 11 Likes 1 Share |

smeag0l:Of course, we know not everyone is struggling in Nigeria. I for example have 3 classmates that are directors in PwC, GE and Standard Chartered Bank respectively. They are doing very well. Imagine if I told these guys to abandon their work and move to obodo oyinbo, won't they call me enemy of progress 1 Like |

Klass99:Do you know it's only in Africa we don't pay such bills or probably we try to cut corners, reason we are still were we re today. You make money in Nigeria without paying tax, you cut corners just to avoid that but in those countries the system has made it that you can't avoid tax, you must pay and that's what the government used in putting those beautiful cities in place and we start enjoying and admiring those cities from Nigeria. I live in Canada, and I pay my Bill's and taxes and I see what it's being used for so I'm happy to pay. At the end of the tax year you get your tax returns running into thousands of dollars. But what do we have back home? Another thing is people travel all in the name of traveling. Wetin you go find for Russia? I have friends in Australia, who re doing well. Nigerians need to drop the mentality of I'm traveling to become a millionaire overnight, it doesn't work that way. Canada for example, you work for every dollar you, no side gig or cutting of corners unlike Nigeria were we see illegal money before the month ends and do all sort of runs. You work legitly for all your dollars. You can do other business which will be taxed too. 2 Likes |

johhnnie:That dishwashing thing, I don't know how people survive on that job. I took a job of dishwashing once on a Manchester United match day. I did half of the shift before I quit. The polish supervisor said I won't get paid for the half shift I did. I told them to keep the money. That job is haaaard. You wont even know who is the real machine between you and the dish washer you are feeding plates. 5 Likes |

HeavenlyHolines: While I won't object the grace of God in making it in life, let me still point it to you that you can actualize all your dreams if you have clear cut plans. You can't just make it if you do not have set goals and work towards them. Making it in life doesn't require one sitting dormant without upgrading one self. God will only support you if you take action to make life good for yourself. That's why even the Bible said; faith without action is nothing. You must back up your faith with action. That simply means you must upgrade yourself. You must always look out for new opportunities. You must acquire well sort after skills. Nothing comes by luck without an atom of work behind it. When God sees that you are doing all you can to make life comfortable for yourself, only then he will come in to make things easy for you. So that a journey that will take you 5yrs to achieve, you will end up achieving it within just 3yrs. That's where the grace of God comes in. In essence, one must take action for God's grace to locate him. A dormant person that refuses to work or upgrade himself positively, no amount of the grace of God will be sufficient to make life better for such person because he refuses to work or upgrades himself. If one doeasn't take action, mannas will not fall from heaven for such a person on a platter of gold. 1 Like |

bukatyne: In my case, when I was leaving for Canada, I set up a business, with the intention to take care of domestic expenses in Nigeria with the income from that business, an investment of over 8 million naira, because I don't want to be sending money home from the abroad. As I write this, that business is in shambles. They ruined it the moment I hoped into the plane. I'm just trying to revive it again because I can't allow it to just die like that, it will be a great loss to me. My wife and I are always fighting over this matter because she advised me against is in the first place. Now, tell me, would you blame me if I decided not to send money home to anyone? Yet I still do. I know how much the four weeks Covid-19 lock down in Lagos cost me in terms of Canadian Dollars, and I have not been working since 3rd of April due to Corona. The poster that was talking about people in abroad asking for money from Nigerians back home doesn't know what he's talking about. He thinks we are talking about people in Libya, because I have a couple of guys in Libya then whose family send money to them from Lagos. We are talking about a society where the government takes good care of their citizen and PRs: I earn 2,236CAD every month, for the past two months, for staying at home and keeping safe; my wife, who is on a 28,000CAD OSAP grants per session as a full time student, is also receiving 2000CAD every month due to Covid-19; my two children receives 600CAD each every month; and as a couple we get 400CAD for Goods Sales Tax- GST (Nigeria's equivalent of VAT); Associations of Nigerians in Milton opened a food bank where you can go and get food stuffs and groceries; RCCG Milton organized a drive through sharing of food; what else do you want? 12 Likes 4 Shares |

Very valid points raised Op. I have many friends and family members living abroad, anytime we are communicating, I don't even bother asking for any financial help because I understand the situation over there. Even one of my brother who lives and works in Qatar hardly dashes money whenever he's on holiday in Nigeria, even to the extent of borrowing ticket fare from friends here in Nigeria whenever he's going back promising to repay after some months. 1 Like |

They will tell you how people re living on loans abroad but they have forgotten how people back home run from microfinance to another loan house looking for money upandan.
