What country is that?
Australia. The truth remains that it's demanding because the work pattern is absolutely different. You're paid for every hour, hence you're expected to work every second, minutes and hours. Smiles but it's rewarding.

That's for those doing shady business. They'd face their comeuppance one day, leave those ones. There are many legit business you couid do and you'd be fine. I was picked up by a taxi driver at Thamesmead in 2026, a day after Donald trump won the US election. I was returning home from the UK. The taxi guy, a yorubaman like me but I didn't notice until we got to the central area of London. He just turned on his car cd player and I started hearing Barri wonder's song. I smiled and said, egbon( meaning brother) so you're yoruba but speaking phonę and looking like jamo( Jamaican). He was surprised too cos i didn't speak a word when he arrived. He knew where I was going after booking the taxi online so i just entered his car and he zoomed off.

In short, we started talking. He asked me same question you're asking when I asked him to consider coming back home to invest. He said...what business can one invest in sef, cos he's not been home for decades and he has no relations in Nigeria anymore, not even parents. I told him the business my friend was into. He had auto garage in lagos and soon to open the abuja office. He was so happy to hear that. I also told him he could come , do a kind of feasibility studies employ, stay a while and go back. He doesn't have to stay put here. He heeded my advice. He has 3 auto garage outlets today. One in lagos, one in phc and another one in abuja. See those oil and gas guys throng his garage in phc. I don't want to mention a popular politician here, a senator who is also among his customers he's a lover of cars. He had porch cars, very expensive. He can only trust his computerised auto garage for his fleet of cars. The sharp man included a baking station in those garages where cars can be painted and baked. He also added car paint lines to it. The last time we spoke, he's considering relocating here, to face it squarely cos he's doing well. He told me he'd include tyre business to it also, cos there are some expensive cars that can't use anyhow tyre. He's also considering automatic self care car wash. Imagine.

What do u mean by auto garage?

Car sales stand?

My weekly expenses is averagely $350-400 including feeding, rent and transport. Sometimes, it goes below $350 depending on my activities ie if I use my car all through the week, it gets to that but if not, it's around $270. My rent is #140 per week, food is the cheapest thing anyone can afford. With $60 - $80, you will be fine for the week. Transport to work on public TP is $5 per day bringing it to $25 per week. Then few dollars for miscellaneous. So I can save more around 3-4 days of my earning.
You get it?
$60-$80 a week?
That means you are not eating nice food
Just be low average .

Because no matter the city or county you are the inflation is affecting everybody.

Sorry to to say but this is a poverty mindset. You're one of the folks who believe that success or extreme wealth is gotten only through fraud and not through hardwork.

The same abroad you're talking about, there are young people, even less than 25 years, making good money, and buying houses. I know a 25 year old man who stays at Dubai and makes millions of dollars through information marketing. Change your mindset tho

My opinion is that Nigerians are jealous, always complaining about Nigerians that have been forced to leave Nigeria to better their lives, when the problem is Nigeria's cultures and societies that have failed to build a functional economy despite being blessed with numerous resources.

Nigerians in the diaspora are not responsible for Nigeria's problems, look to the leaders that you support. Millions of Nigerians supported Buhari and look what he has done in 8 years of corrupt and poor leadership.

Nigerian stranded are not the Diaspora, these are Nigerians that are not supposed to travel out in the first place. The Nigerians in diaspora are the legal Nigerians that are allowed to reside abroad.

Nigerians like Kemi Badenoch

Olukemi Olufunto Badenoch (/ˈbeɪdnɒk/ BAYD-nok;[1] née Adegoke, 2 January 1980)[2] is a British politician serving as the Secretary of State for International Trade and President of the Board of Trade since 2022.[3] She previously served as Minister of State for Local Government, Faith and Communities and Minister of State for Equalities from 2021 to 2022. A member of the Conservative Party, she has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Saffron Walden since 2017.

Smile. I eats well beloved brother with couples of fruits to go bye. For example a pack of strawberry goes for $2, a crate of egg is $3.7, water melon $2 and lots more in Sydney here. Food is very cheap regardless of the inflation. I am not trying to convince you but to correct the wrong impression you put up. Hope this is enough.
