Can you people just acknowledge the fact that you are trading some good things in Nigeria for some bad things in Canada/abroad and vice versa and let's move on?

Skyview01:


I agree with you Gaby my brother from another mother. I gave on the country more than 10 years ago when it was in way better shape than this. in two years', time , we will need visa to enter Ghana, Togo and neighboring African countries.

Since you don't have ambitions and dreams
Stay where you are

maasoap:


You got it, the problem is our leaders, both old and young, from Obasanjo to Tinubu to Atiku to Obi and the rest. Only if they can love this country with all their hearts, instead of stashing funds meant for developments abroad.

You dey wait for government you go old
No go find money comot for that useless country that has no single hope for youths

I knew where I started in 2015 and where I'm today with no tangible assistance from anyone or government. They should just provide basic amenities, stamp out corruption and provide little assistance to those who need support to grow

Please explain. How is traveling an investment?
Imagine legitimately investing 15million here in 9ja. If we'll managed that could grow to something Huge in the nearest future.

Bksense:


Where will you see $15M ? LoL. Another delusion about abroad. There's no guarantee anyone can amass up to $500k even working for 45yrs

Helpout12345:
Honestly, it's 100pct worth it if you are going with Permanent Residency. You get to settle on time economically in your destination.

If you are relocating through student route, it's largely going to worth it if you do your research very well and understand how to plan your way to permanent residency at your destination in the shortest possible time.

If you are going on a visit visa, to become illegal afterwards, it's not worth it at all except your life is not meaningful in Nigeria.

Whatever you decide, let me end it with my usual assertion. "A Cat in Nigeria cannot become a Lion overseas, and a Lion in Nigeria will not become a Cat either overseas.

You know yourself, capabilities etc. Research your destination and set your expectations accordingly.
Good luck !

not everyone is living in kidnap prone state . There is oyu ,Calabar ekiti ,jigawa osun with 0.00 cases of insecurities .

Can you imagine. About 1m naira monthly. Bros in 9ja you be living like a king with that amount

saipn:
please check your email

Primusinterpares:
We also got good schools here in 9ja. Although they are expensive sha.
But we got good schools too

frozen70:


Is alright

Imagine, you traveled out send 15 million Dollars for building an estate, put it on rent and enjoy the inflow of money

ComradeShegs:



He doesn't need to be richer than INNOSON and co to have a comfortable life when compared to a life he would have been experiencing if he had remained in Nigeria.

ttoyetade:

You have just come abroad. Things at abroad get better with time but it could take time . You can bring your family from home, you can finish paying your mortgage and even buy bigger house or additional houses, buy new and expensive cars. People abroad don't make noise about their wealth but I can tell you the rich guys are in abroad especially with the Naira falling in international market.

Feggie3:
That doesn't invalidate my point.

Let me tell you the truth, those you see in care homes are properly taken care of even more than most African kings. That is why they are called senior citizens. They are seen mainly by professionals, Professional nurses, dieticians, GPs. Government provide every damn thing for them. Their families come there to visit them always. They are not abandoned. They are taken there to be properly taken care of by professionals.

Same thing is obtainable in Nigeria.

Let's get it right or continue in this path.
God help us all

SpyChild:
nothing on my email. Why not drop it here though

ogbonti:



God bless you, the 10k is even an overestimation but i didn’t want to sound too pessimistic because some latinos who live like 11 in a 3 bedroom apartment and being very disciplined working construction can pull that 10k savings off BUT everyday normal americans don’t have that kind of money- people don’t get it - to save $5k cash na wahala with bills everywhere - dem never travel before no mind them

Primusinterpares:
So lately I have seen friends, families, colleagues at work, church members relocating abroad.
These people are "doing well" here in Nigeria.
Many of them resign from their high paying jobs, sells their properties and put up to like 25 - 40 million naira to relocate a family of say 5.
Is it really worth it?
Can't we make a good living here in Nigeria especially people with a good job here?
I need clarifications from those that have gone to enlighten me.

Creamcrest:

Sharrap, Nigeria is not nearing collapse,it's still one of the best countries on earth.

Nigerians in Canada and America are even complaining of not being able to build wealth.

Shootings and gun violence also happens in America and Canada.

Some Nigerians here have 24hrs power using inverters and solar.

Most Nigerians can easily build their houses while you niggas in canada and US will be paying for mortgages for several years.

Regardless people are still doing fine here in Nigeria.

Asour:



Canada doesn't have a gun violence problem.

You don't know the meaning of MOST.
MOST Nigerians don't even have their own homes never mind building it 'easily'.

TWoods:


Shootings and gun violence happens in the US, but it does not affect the vast majority of the populace. I’ve lived in 4 states over 17 years and never had a problem with violence. In Nigeria, even your governors and pastors are not immune from violence, armed robbers and kidnappers.

Yes some Nigerians have access to 24 hours electricity, but they must be wealthy enough to be able to afford inverters and solar infrastructure. That amounts to <0.0001% of the population. By contrast 99% of the US population takes 24 hr electricity for granted with no need to invest in anything else.

The idea that “most Nigerians can easily build their houses” is false. <0.001% can truly afford it. Most of those who can afford it do so by stealing public funds. How many Nigerians can truly build homes on their legitimately earned income? The average American can own a home on an average pay check.

TWoods:


You essentially got lucky. Kudos to you, but how many Nigerians have such opportunities? Be honest with yourself.

ariesbull:
and work till the end of your days... I have been abroad my fear na person wey never travel....


Here there are tons of opportunities in Nigeria but people aren't seeing it. I hated abroad when I experienced racism in train...

I can't stand it... I am fine here..
