IbeOkehie:


Depends on what you call "means".

I left Nigeria at 16. My plane ticket was bought with borrowed money. At the time I left Nigeria my family was eating 2 meals a day. My father was riding a bicycle. My parents combined income was $200 per month in Nigeria. I only detail these up because most of these discussions are too abstract, especially with very few using their real names.

Would I have done better staying in Nigeria? I can tell you from close observation and experience...the answer is NO. I've been through this on other threads sha so, whatever.

The core of my contribution here is that except for the top 0.05% of income earners, ANYONE else who has the opportunity will do better if they leave Nigeria for any Anglo-Western country. And by doing better I mean in EVERY facet if existence.

That is why President Buhari, GCFR has lived in UK and Spain with his family for the past 30 to 40 years. He knows Nigeria better than me.

Anyone who has the means should leave. If you CAN'T LEAVE that's another story. It's a monumental error to stay in Nigeria if you're not at the very top of the wealth scale. The future, going by the EVIDENCE, is very bleak.

Have a good day.

A naija prof sending 870 thousand Naira per month to her child in UK every month. How much is his salary to afford that amount. Except he's a political appointee of the VC, your story is a lie.

Brownshoe:
I will japa very soon , if I get there I will like to invest in ur project.

tete7000:


You conclusion of will do better gives an impression that everyone who has left Nigeria are doing better, but you know this is not correct. There are people who have left and are not faring better where they currently relocated to.

Yankee101:


Maybe read properly next time

It says
1. Local reduced fees
2. Scholarships ( I'm sure you've read of Nigerians offered over 7 scholarships worth millions of dollars to multiple ivy leagues in the US here on nairaland)
3. Or even....scholarships. ( yes, they are available as an oprion if you want. Some use it to buy new cars or just live large in school; but it's available. Gbajabiamila just introduced it as legislature under consideration for nigeria, if it wasn't an advantage why would nigeria seek to adopt it?)

You are welcomed



Anyway, Agriculture is life.

erico2k2:

I think this applies to those who have not legalised their documents.
If you are in a position to say people abroad are not doing that well then you must have at least N40M in your bank b4 you can make such assumption. What I can agree with you here is tis and simple. Do not think there is automatic money here, you must graft it.You work for your money then this is the best one, We all have equal opportunity at the start! For every profession you do in Nigeria if you do them abroad your life will be definitely better. You can only smile in Nigeria if you have money and to do so one must have i initial capital, Where do you get this from?

Angelfrost:


Yeah... Shocking!

What is more shocking is that such figures are killed in your country all year round!

Mtchewwww!

pacespot:
This is to tell how Nigerians are frustrated with the current Nigerian system, the same system that Tinubu and Atiku are banking on to win the next election. If you had the opportunity to Japa, don't you even think twice.

The best you can do for Nigeria right now before leaving the country is to vote in the right candidate that will steer the wheel of this country back to Law and Order in the next election.

Collecting minimum wage in UK cannot make u better than a Nigerian professor. Dead that illiterate mentality....
You will hardly see a professor that have not traveled out for research to Europe....

uvie66:
with all the research they have done in western country how have this improve Nigeria,

Ifakiland:

How many businessmen became millionaires trading in Nigeria or with naira alone? Dey there dey console yourself.....odogwue bitters that's N800 in Nigeria is £30 in the uk....30x905 is N27k foreign trade in foreign currency is the real deal.....by all standard....leaving Nigeria is goal.

tete7000:


To say someone is doing better means you are doing a comparison. You look at where they are, and compare to where they were coming from. Bro.,there have been Nigerians doing excellently well, earning and living well who have abandoned everything to start all over abroad. I know of someone who worked in a multinational, living well and can travel anywhere, anytime but woke up, sold all and relocated abroad. I have been asking what else can he be looking for? How soon can he get the job he left and attain the position he vacated?

I'll prefer to be a billionaire in Nigeria then I can travel round the world for vacation at any time





When you wn become the billionaire na the question be that, is it with that 200k paying for salary ?

Spiff20:
Are you living in Nigeria or in Togo? Over 200 million people here, don't you think it's a huge market? Won't you start here first before you go international? Or you want me to give you a list of naira millionaires? Some of you are just far from reality. If you want to japa, then japa. But there home made billionaires who will buy your entire net worth after staying abroad for 10 years. You people should be deceiving yourselves that abroad is the only path to success.

Clown said rich and poor have same quality of healthcare... Ridiculous statement

Jayphoenix45:
When you see the happenings around you, you will understand their joy of this relocation thingy. Imagine the pain the family of that lawyer and thousands of southern kaduna families are feeling this period due to the high death rate in the country. Being successful is a good thing but being successful in an environment that supports instead of reduce you makes it better. How many hospitals rejected the woman who was shot yesterday before she finally died? Will that happen in the place they are right now? Make your checks and maybe you will understand the euphoria of their relocation.

Backend software development with focus on Business process automation . Did it in banking in Nigeria , FinTech in South Africa and now Automobile service lane technology in Canada

SIRTee15:


If u don't know about something. U shut up and learn. I work in NHS and I treat both rich and poor. It's the same healthcare for everybody and it's free. Nobody jumps waiting time.
U can go private if u like and from my experience, apart from shorter waiting time in private, there's no difference is quality of care delivered btw NHS and private
I brought my dad here for glaucoma laser surgery, very few private hosp perform the procedure, something that's done like pure water under NHS.

It is not always about money. I could go for vacation but not relocation.
