Your question is very unnecessary and Childish. You're acting like a child who just got a new car and is now asking why is everyone trekking on foot or taking okada.
People have different reasons for doing what they do. Whether it is to move from the mainland to the Island, from a state to another or even JAPA outside the country. I know someone who left because he got shot when he was robbed. Some just want to experience a new life some want a better life , whether they enjoy it or not is not your business and how much they make along the way is no one's business. Just Hope that Nigeria doesn't happen to you with all your 100 million.

How do I as an individual living in London for the most of my adult life BEG people i n Nigeria? and for what?
Most people own thier own homes abroad have two cars one for wife the other for himself, kids go to school and can afford vacation in India, however when people from Nigeria ask them for money you will hear, life is though we are barely able to pay the bills.

phemmyfour:
100million naira is around 100k pounds. That should take me 100000/12000 after tax...
That's 8yrs but if I m taking extra shift, that's 100000/18000, that's around 5yrs

TheFacelessMan:
A friend of mine just said " Going to USA briefly....be back soon" in December 2016. He never returned.

He showed me credit cards that had over NGN 100 million by January 2022.

He is not into crime in any form. He is actually a banker.

He has very well off folks home and away with NO dependents. Just gifts his mum from time to time. He has at least 3 other successful siblings in the US.

For those who want to go - US, Australia, Canada .... in descending order. Most UK folks I know are really struggling.

ajimo54:


Do not be pained! You can afford a better life for yourself in Nigeria if u truly earn like the OP! What life is abroad? One of ur people living abroad duped me of $ 6,000 in 2018. You all talk of future? What is future without money? Europe looks so bleak! I actually don't see future there. Future is in Nigeria!

Please, refrain from dragging the country's situation into your answer or any other reason to JAPA. Kindly focus on answering the question as best as possible.

Thanks.

I'm a software engineer working remotely from Nigeria. I earn a 7-figure monthly salary.
With my salary only (at an average exchange rate of 850/$), it would take me about 6.6 years to save up 100 million, provided I have zero dependents and had to cater only for myself throughout those years. It's quite a naive way to project this though because a lot of things can happen along those years. But it still gives an idealistic comparison base.



So my question goes to Nigerians currently living or have lived abroad. Can you tell us the country, the job title, and how long it would take to save up to NGN100 milliion, assuming you have zero dependents and have to cater for only yourself. Do remember to factor in taxes if any and other living expenses for yourself alone

The reason for my question is not far-fetched. I'm just wondering if it's worth it to sell ones' properties worth milliions just to JAPA and go start over again. Please, refrain from dragging the country's situation into your answer or any other reason to JAPA. Kindly focus on answering the question as best as possible.

Thanks.

2 years financial history is not enough to secure a mortgage,you need at least three to 5 years unless you have initial capital

TheFacelessMan:


That is for the people YOU associate with.

That's your f*cking life that doesn't interest me in the slightest.

Generalizing and roping those in my own circles is what I balked at. What those I know are facing is their own experience.

You are not the prime minister of UK to tell me or them different.

Procashtips:


Advantage here is that most remote income earned in Nigeria hardly get taxed.

yoged:
With the amount you Dey make. If den born your papa and mama well, try travel by road across Nigeria especially the Northern part and let’s see if you can come back safely. . You guys always think it’s about the money. SMH

Eastcoastboy:


He can still get shot over there, the difference is that he'll gain access to medical care quick.

erico2k2:

OK we agree with you, The people you associate with and in your circle struggle abroad U win.REST

Do you want to hear the Truth?
To earn 100Million Abroad depends on the kind of skills and Industry you are.
Medical Practitioners, Tech and few other industry will certainly be earning a lot of $ so it'll be easy for them to make that in few years.
Some Resident doctors for example make $5000 per month, Nurses around $4000.
But all these is after years of hardwork. Also, Keep in mind they're heavily taxed plus Bills too. Removing tax and bills 40% of their income is already gone.

Bottom line is if you're a king in Nigeria there's no need to migrate to become a slave. I for example earn almost $700 per month from Upwork and Fiverr, I also play 4 odds on sporty bed. my gross income is almost $1500 per month. if I convert my $ to Naira, that's a lot. If I were living in the US I will be a poor man. To make 100 Million will take me 2 -3 years.

Also here in Nigeria I'm not choked with taxes, I've never paid water bill before, I didn't pay tax when I bought my car I didn't pay vat or tax for my house, everything here is like cash and carry.

The only thing Nigeria doesn't have in human Security and Dignity of labour

But Still, I'd rather be a Rich man in Nigeria than be a struggling man in Abroad.

Most of my guys wished they never left but they'll rather die there doing manual jobs than come back because of shame.

This is not PR for Anti - Japa. I'm just telling you the reality, Abroad is not bed of roses. if you're making a lot of money here, I see no reason why you should Japa to another country to suffer.

If you're girl and you're freaky Dm

Very funny question!

N100m is about $100k

Even in the US, 90% of people no go smell $100k in their lifetime

Ajione:
Is not only money that make people japa, some issues are settled, like security good road getting values for your taxes and when children is involved, your children future are secured.
Anybody trying to japa and thinking of becoming a multi millionaire or billionaire Na big mistake. But am sure once you are not lazy you will leave a comfortable life.
With the present situation in this country things are hard, salary Na pie but.
If I come to you now and I said I need 50k will you give me?
I prefer leaving this country than leaving like a prisoner in my own country.

Prudency045:
And what is the percentage of Nigerians that will be able to save 1million naira before they die?

Even in the west, their citizens aren't rich in the context of their country but have access to credits and good quality of life.

It is not about money saved rather it is about the quality of life people can live with the money they earn.

digitalheadline:

Them don brain wash una head tire for naija. Better leave if you can. $100k no be money again for yankee. People dey aim to be dollar millionaires now...

BigDawsNet:
Hahahahah... wher you won make make 100m... for where...

Tho if you get in with a work permit and get a job as a Senior Doctor or top Software Engineer and work for probably for NaSa.. den you can make 100m in probably 3years

TheFacelessMan:


Next time you use your brains for better things than begging.

What my dog eats, your father dreams of.

I have the antidote for your stupidity.

horlahsunbo225:
What do you need #100 million for?

Smartguyboy:


It’s so annoying when people think the only reason to japa is good road and security. Nowhere is safe dear they are more killing in USA than anywhere in the world .

Klass99:


You understood the assignment, I enjoyed reading your entire post. Seven blessings to you!

NoNaw:


The jealousy perfume youre wearing is so strong.

Okay no problem then. Ive heard you

ogbonti:


God bless you - this japa thing going on now is more from inferiority complex than the motives they state openly

My friend is in the US- I feel so inferior to him whenever he visits - his skin is nice looking- he speaks phonetics - people respect him

No I must japa - this is the mentality fueling 99% of japa - they forget that friend does not have 10% of what they have

he visited Nigeria borrowing to come intimidate you and later return to pay huge debts and suffer working long hours with zero savings

BUT those feeling inferior and feeling intimidated have house of their own and car- all payed for no debt YET they feel intimidated

by someone who pays through his nose monthly for the next 20 to 30 years for mortgage and even when he pays if OFF - the house

can be taken away from him someday if he fails to pay property taxes, insurance or association fees - and you in Nigeria, you do not

suffer such inconveniences much like those living abroad - let me stop for now - A word they say is enough for the wise!

Oga in conclusion make we all runaway from Nigeria and leave Boko Haram conquer the country or a white man will come develop Nigeria
No vex how many of your family members have you help to immigrants abroad
They way you see dead body on the Nigeria road it evidence you have been feeding with fake news on social media, remember social media are monetized so read any news at your Peru
If what you portrayed Nigeria to be them we all shouldn’t be alive in Nigerian by now talk more of thinking for migration. Move all your family members abroad them come back to advise us Shikina

So this is the new argument to discourage migration...SAVINGS .
