All good choices.. Although Ethiopia is looking shaky with the civil war over there.. but they signed a peace deal recently, so things are looking good for now.

Don't sleep on Southern African countries.. Zambia, Botswana, Namibia.. Angola has the 6th largest economy in Africa. Mozambique is also opening up.

I once lived in North America....the major problem North America has is that YOU ARE ALL ALONE. It's same in naija but more pronounced in North America. Even with a gf or wife in North America both will be working so you are effectively alone to a large extent. That poster said he works 70hrs per week....to me that's not life....

But in Nigeria there's village heads, kindred, extended family, cousins, neighbors etc who all have time for each other....the vibes is just different and I prefer the naija vibes....

When you speak of a fulfilled life naija is the place....

Everybody will die one day, but by living in some countries, some people will live longer than others. It is called the life expectancy rate. People live shorter lives in DRC than in Nigeria, and those in Nigeria live shorter lives than in Norway.



Many have tried the same in Nigeria but Fulani herdsmen destroyed their crops and rendered them poor. People in Delta, Ogun, Plateau, Kaduna etc., have suffered from Fulani marauders. Again, nothing stops you from going into farming. People are different and they have different circumstances. These your rants are becoming to sound like envy. As someone hell-bent on staying in Nigeria, you should be glad others are emigrating.

I am not in competition with anybody but anyone claiming that Nigeria is better than USA with regards to crimes and or economic opportunities is either being disingenuous, delusional or is a paid government agent.

It is that simple. If you like do well in Nigeria na for your pocket, but I will share my opinion in letting people know that their are indeed better opportunities outside of the trenches of Nigeria

I worked 60 hours in Nigeria weekdays not including weekend which I also pop in therefore I have to be in town,hence can't travel,bad news is the hours don't directly reflect my effort.
The man that worked 70 hours chose to do so ,I want to believe he's been paid hourly and has the freedom to choose his overtime.

In a similar vein, all those Human Development Index reports from UN is basically UK marketing their colonies - Canada, Australia, New Zealand, US, etc.. they said Vancouver, Canada is one of the best places to live in the world...but that one na for people were never go before.....those that have gone know many non-western cities are much better than Vancouver...

pansophist:


No vex comrade. I have seen the foolishness of man to a point wey I no care anymore. Freedom of choice also means having the freedom to make bad choices. But to expect me to help you clean up your mess, na there me and you go enter the boxing ring. Carry your cross yourself.

Most importantly, it reeks of a colonial mentality to see only the west as the destination for greener pastures. The world is so big and vast, that you can make it in most places. Brazil alone is a giant that is bigger and wealthier than ecowas combined, but nigeria has more population than it.

What about China? Colombia, even Russia? does it have to be the west, especially UK and US? This might sound like me being proud, but I can personally never suffer anywhere I go. I know one thing for sure, and it is that human need is universal. I will just look for something the world wants and offer that service. Cocacola for example is in all countries (well maybe except north korea), I will sell something similar, or food.

Or go into women hair, or transportation. If your eyes is open, there are so many things you can do, especially in a lawless country. I can make bread in my house and put a stand in a bus stop, and even police that should ask me for nafdac will buy my bread, and drink it with zobo I made. How can you cry of poverty in such system? You just lazy. Abroad for many is like giving themselves an impression of success, but it is not success. There are those born abroad and failure, so whats the point?

Everybody in every corner of the world likes Chicken and rice, I will open my first restaurant and maybe within the year, try and open ten more, and maybe 100 branches in the next three years, and dive into another related business like poultry and just keep growing. You can do this anywhere. It is a shame that Nigeria still imports foreign chicken. Instead of wasting 15M abroad, why not face that problem, in your land where you will be king? Where you will be the alpha male?

As a man, I know for sure that I need respect. In fact, the only time an immigrant should do menial jobs should be when they are a student, studying toward greater things, not as a mature man in his 30s, worse, 40s. Life would be hell. You will be so invisible, that all the fine girls and men that are successful will see you as someone they don't want to be friends with.

Fun fact, all the wealthiest black people in the world made their wealth in Africa. Not abroad, but in Africa. They may live abroad, but they made their wealth in Africa. What does that tell you?

abeg no bring tribalism here.. I be pure bred igbo... Me no dey trip for japa... Na go do business come back be my own... Na the letter level we dey look

There are some great whiskies in Eastern Europe like Poland, Czech and other countries of Europe that are looking for market entering in Africa...

With 20m you can get to do franchises agreement to be their distributor in MEA region.. That is big boy. That is what I will do with 20m...

Send em email and do a proposal... They will invite you for talks you can travel if you want see Europe, sign agreement with them and come back and do your marketing...

Take this from an Igbo man

Stop blaming igbo man.. All those yoruba guys wey full Peckham for London na wetin...

It's just a crazy blackman mentality.. How can people sell their homes resign from jobs paying them from 300k upward only to go do 3 jobs a day and live in credit... Isn't that madness

emmaodet:


You know, this issue of abroad, have realized not many people have the skills and knowledge to run a business. A
They just want to work so I have to understand with them.
As a matter of fact, 80% of the world's population just wants to work and earn not run a biz or create one because it is tedious.
Reason why even the people going abroad, after saving and converting to naira, what do they do? Just to buy land and build house for rent, or buy land to keep and sell later or send cars to be sold here.
Most never float a company or factory that will employ workers, generate monthly tax for govt and those are the real drivers of economy but it takes a level of dedication, skills and knowledge to do that.

There are opportunities everywhere in the world but it takes another level to see them.

One thing I know is that, those who fail to face their problems today, who are scared of trying a biz and fail before getting it right won't have a choice than for their kids to apply and work for those trying today.
They can't escape it.

Forget rice

Do you know what it means with 20 m just bring out just 10m...invest in poultry and cold room.

Imagine having one thousand layers daily...focus on them, get vetinerians to look into it forget big Grammer..

One thousand layers after 4 months will be producing about 1500 eggs which a crate is about 1700 wholesale price and the total is about 145,000 on eggs alone on daily basis...

Is their market yes... The last time I checked... Nigerians are still eating eggs, still baking breads and cakes.. So you don't have to worry.

You will have your office brand your firm and get marketing team to handle it

Imagine 145,000 daily by a month we are looking at 4 m plus then take out 2m for overhead and salaries you have over 1.5m as profit...

Then you can still invest in hatchery and fishery


Dude money dey... How Can people use over 20m to travel to go do jobs in warehouse and 2 jobs

That's madness for me.. I think it's laziness.

Treadway:
guy why you drop the exact point I dropped na..lol. That is just it sha. The way a boss/business minded person thinks about money and a jobs minded person thinks about money na opposites. One is seeing 6 and holding on to it, the other is seeing 9 and holding on to it. Both will never agree. Both should do what works for them. Make everybody rest jare. It's been an interesting read tho.
