Axis313:
God bless Nigeria with "natural resources",but refused to bless it with "good leaders",while Japan have little or no "natural resources",instead it is "natural disaster" they were plagued with,but He bless them with "good leaders".
All of us can see the results.

Please, today is Christmas. Don't blame GOD for wicked leadership in Nigeria/Africa. GOD did not bless those nations with leaders.

Their leaders are men and women who DECIDED to put the fear of God as their guiding principles in the leadership of their countries. Thus, they ensured a SYSTEM that catered for their people/nations.

Nigeria/Africa political leadership is still steeped in satanic wickedness which is the foundation for selfishness, corruption, and unexplainable craze for acquisitions that are lost to develop other nations of the world.

A nice thread. Interesting.

You forget to add medical charges in the US vs UK. It’s almost free or let me say in fact outrightly free in the UK, while u pay ur ass out in the US except u have insurance which reduces ur charges

You omitted the most important
System of Government
UK practice Parliament System of Government
USA practise Presidential System of Government

Funny enough, I prefer Lagos to UK.

boss not everyone know or understand that they can apply to study abroad and also be consider for scholarship. Also we all have different stories to tell as regards our grades in school

Anyway, can someone with 4.15 Cgpa be consider for admission and funding?

4.15 is solid, especially if you study a STEM course. You need a good GRE score, solid SOP. You also need to start doing research to target some certain universities and reach out to the profs. If you need guidance, lemme know,

APOPTOSIS:
I have lived in both countries.
The United States of America remains the best destination for both the singles and family structured and for any human being on earth including the animals. The US brings out the best in you even when you have nothing to offer. That's the only country on earth you can wear slippers to visit & leave wearing Timberland

The country is structured to make you successful.
The jobs opportunities in America can confuse you for years, as one would be confused where to specialize.
The only country even when you don't have papers you are not embarrassed or castigated, rather you are encouraged to get such. In the United States you rarely fear deportation. You would have committed one of their worst crimes for deportation to be revisited.

I told a friend who came to US on visiting and still had 8 months remaining on his Visa not to relocate to Canada. He was given a temporary stay in Canada and later got deported back to Nigeria. I told him except that you committed any crime, don't you worry about deportation in USA. I wish USA can re-structure its broken immigration laws. I have been living in USA for 17 years and no valid documents and documents by marriage is what I detest most.

USA is arguably the greatest human civilization that will ever be. I have made $79, 000 this year just working at Amazon with no degree required and I don't think I can make that anywhere else in the world.

The US's government requires the employers to pay times 1.5 for any weekly wages after 40 hrs. I make $28.50 per hour and $42.25 per hour after 40 hours but Amazon only allows 60 hours per week unlike other jobs that let you make up to 80 hours per week.

Your number 3 is the other way round

Ashirioluwa:


I am only telling you the truth: the truth is that some people will not trade Naija for anywhere in the world because they are making it big here in Naija.

Someone like Dangote is not going to trade Naija for anywhere in the world, and the truth is that the guy might not be as successful as this if he had relocated to the US or UK during his youth days. Just saying, I don't know.

I understand there are limited opportunities here in Naija, but some people will still make it big and become super rich.

Dangote this,Dangote that.

Nigeria only has a handful of millionaires that you people worship when 99 percent are suffering and making less than $5 dollars a day.
Okpe.

You didn't get the point, and I only used Mr. Dangote as an example.

I am not discouraging relocation abroad; I am just saying some people prefer to stay here because they are making it in this country. While others prefer to move abroad because of the limited opportunities available here in Naija.

The point is " very few" make it in Nigeria doing legitimate work...the percentage is extremely low.

Abid2020
There's nothing surprising about these differences. They have been there for ages.

kabukabu50:

You're correct, and I'm referring to those very few selected ones.

These very few may not wish to leave Nigeria since they are either making money here legally through their business ventures or illegally through dubious means like our politicians or other folks doing shady businesses.

The bottom line is that the majority of our youths are leaving this country because of the limited opportunities available, and we can't blame them for moving elsewhere to look for a better future for themselves and their families.

May God interfere in Nigeria affairs

Nigeria has not copied any system. What we are running is not the American presidential system.

Most sensible talk ever on nairaland.

So you follow for the 13 million people wey we dey look for since.....Hmmmmmm. Make sure you no look for our trouble..., we already know where you dey and that you know right...? 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Anyway stay away from trouble. I pity those wey jump fence, dia matter dey like okro wey dem pour on top smooth rock. Dat's the second greatest sin in the U.S

Just like you put, the United States is just an amazing destination. We just need to reinforce on what its founding fathers did , and that will be fine.

Phd program: in the usa you have t0 take classes and do a qualifying exam. In the uk ots kust 3 straight years of writing.

Regex:

My own definition of punctuality is having a meeting or appointment with someone. If an American tells you we will meet by 10:00am, I swear the person will not get to the meeting ground 10:01am even if he/she will drive for 2 hours to the venue.

I have never seen an American that will give you an appointment and appear late, it can never happen. If the person won’t make it, he would have sent you message ahead of time for you guys to reschedule.
