Oga you people should stop this cock and bull story. Majority of oyibo don't have 10000 USD in their bank account?

How do you know this? Tell me. You people talk all this nonsense about mortgage and loans, you think anybody can go to a bank and get any loan they want.

You dont know loans are means tested. When you see someone living in 2m dollar house, they put it in 20% of that money down to begin with which is 400k. Then what ever job they have must be able to cover three times the mortgage payment that is how mortgages are means tested. If you go to any major city in the world the majority of houses there are over 800K , from Melbourne, to Toronto, to New York and even Sydney.

Many Nigerian immigrants but houses that are at least 600K. 10% down is 60K which can build a house in most areas in Nigeria. After that down payment most of us pay a mortgage of nearly 3200 every month comfortably because banks will not give you a mortgage you can't pay comfortably. Again keep deceiving yourself but at least don't deceive people.


I don't have any issues with y'all saying these things to convince yourself you are better off in Nigeria but you are deceiving other Nigerians

I was being generous with the conversion, 7m is not up to 10000usd in the black market where majority of Nigerians buy dollars

Munamoqel:
but a recent survey says 70 percent of American don't have 1000,,USD to cover an emergency .so you where be migrant dey work like donkey no agree with the statistics the oyinbo put

GeneralShepherd:


Have you ever heard of Saudi Arabia or Kuwait? Foreign oil and gas worker get all these things plus safety. You dont know anything about oil and gas oga.

GeneralShepherd:


I will be happy to see that survey

GeneralShepherd:


I will be happy to see that survey. Also so you educate yourself, savings in a bank account is not and should not be the measure of wealth.

Let us talk about other assets like stocks, bonds , yields, and real estate portfolios.

Munamoqel:
Saudi and Kuwait no follow for japa .talk of operation in the Northsea and the life style.

GeneralShepherd:


Oga sir, I have worked in Kuwait and I still have friends there. Anyone who is an engineer that have worked in Kuwait or Saudi knows that the perks you get there are 100x that of Nigeria plus safety

Munamoqel:
Survey finds more than half of Americans can't afford a $1,000 emergency. Bankrate, a personal finance company, conducted a survey in January to assess Americans' ability to pay for surprises expenses. The results found only 44 percent of U.S. adults had enough money saved to cover a $1,000, unplanned expense.19 01 2022

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

GeneralShepherd:


You like to argue for arguments sake. What is the median household income in Nigeria vs America?

ariesbull:
that is the mentality fewer economic activities... That is the stupidity.

I opened my firm about 4 yrs today I am thinking if expanding to ICT and cloud computing in Nigeria...

Nigeria is the biggest market in Africa... And that is huge opportunity for an intelligent man. A market that has over 200 million people exchanging hands is huge

Think

Backpedal:

A big market means nothing when the MAJORITY of the people are impoverished and miserable

I'll rather do business in Switzerland with fewer people but with deep pockets
Than Nigeria breeding economically useless Homan beings left and right

Munamoqel:
nearing collapse ? 500 bn USD economy the largest in Africa bigger than eypt south Africa and Algeria and top FDI and FPI investment destination . Nearing collapse and MTN just raise 100m USD for network expansion .nearing collapse and the FDI lekki 3 bn USD port is ready .nearing collapse the America embassy is building 550m USD embassy in Eko Atlantic .nearing collapse Nigeria student form the 3 largest student population in uk this year .una just van validate the 2 class citizens life una dey live abroad . ( Self consolation )

Actually, I would say that Nigerians in North America and Europe are 3rd class citizens. The Asians are the 2nd class citizens.

Munamoqel:
story so why is Amazon and HP opening new office in Nigeria . Are you a inferior being or have accepted been an inferior race

GeneralShepherd:


You people like to throw out words. What makes a Nigeria a third class citizen? You have the exact same rights as everyone else.

You think people queue up to go to Canada to become slaves or what?

Munamoqel:
probably 4 class .the Middle easterner are still rank higher

GeneralShepherd:


As an igbo man have I been accepted in Lagos or Kano? While racism is a concern , you have better recourse in law if someone overtly discriminates against you in America vs Nigeria.

You know Amazon has had a huge datacenter in South Africa for nearly 10 years now right.

Now let me tell you why Amazon is expanding to Nigeria. Every public company needs to continue showing growth, Amazon has dominated cloud computing in every continent and the only other way to show massive growth is to dominate Africa. A single datacenter in South Africa is not enough to serve the African market.

If Nigeria was such a prime market, they will not be expanding to Nigeria literally when they have no where else to expand to.

GeneralShepherd:


Who does this ranking?

frozen70:


Its not automatic
Its a gradual process

GeneralShepherd:


Have you ever heard of Saudi Arabia or Kuwait? Foreign oil and gas worker get all these things plus safety. You dont know anything about oil and gas oga.

Also why would you need a body guard when America is 10x safer than Nigeria?

Bksense:


Instead of you to simply check FBI website, you are here capping. Just like y'all think abroad to be paradise, you never imagine these countries are also inhabited by humans.

DannyFX2638:
but do you like the fact that you always dress like Ninja before leaving your house?

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

Munamoqel:

Primusinterpares:
some deep truth bro.
I understand the uncertainty in 9ja, insecurities, bad economy.
Are we saying there are no good things in Nigeria?
Can't people make it here?
If we all channel our energy into being productive and we have a good government things should get better I believe

Backpedal:

We are not an inferior race
We are a poor and impoverished race
