ogbonti:

.... Long term you said.... For now, I'll pick my 9ja life over...... In 9ja... There was always light in the estate I stayed in at Arepo..... The few times the light went off.... I had both gen and solar on standby.....
Also I get to eat my favorite food for cheap in 9ja...

Here in the UK...... One fufu is one pound.......
Something that is 100 naira in 9ja....

See this kind yarn o. You know one data point I want to get for Nigeria? I want to know how many adults, especially university graduates over 50 years old, own a cement or brick home in the city where they work and earn a living. And of those that do, did any of the funds come from their relatives abroad? How many Nigerian adults over 30 years old own cars or can afford one? I bet you it's not over 20%.

Look this argument has been hashed over years on Nairaland. Why not go back as far as 2003 and see the threads. The Anti-Jakpa people were using these same lines. They've been proven wrong for over 20 years now as Nigeria gets worse and worse. At this point one can confidently call these delusional whitewashing.

Just look through all the threads started by Ozoemeka, Sukkot, Ahiboilandgas, Sihamey and other like minds.

Oga rest abeg. I remember the Great Recession in 2008 when Nigerians back home were making fun of those abroad, but here we are. The bottom line - nobody ever lost money betting against Nigeria. The country is in continuous decline compared to the West....USA, Canada, UK, Germany and such.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

sukkot:
so you owned 4 houses in Nigeria and you sold 2 and japa ? Were you remote controlled ? But you are one of the lucky few because you still have 2 houses left in naija. Why not cut your losses and return home ? What's keeping you there ? You obviously sound like you are in distress over there . What's keeping you there ? Remote control ?

Biafran children ko, Biafran children ni . That's the dumbest shit I have seen this year.

maasoap:


She didn't say it's late, just that it's becoming more difficult due to high exchange rate, increasing visa and other fees, etc

Mcslize:


Now I can say you are only concern about yourself. You have constant light in your estate. What then happens to the millions of others that are suffering epileptic power supply? They should fvck off isn't it?

In essence, you're encouraging us that it's only the rich that should enjoy Nigeria while others should suffer. Am I not right?

004gist:


Will I leave my school and return instantly? Lete get certificate.

I am not telling you not to leave Nigeria. But if I tell you the cost of travelling either through skills sponsorship or through education you will say instead I remain in Nigeria.

There is a friend that came through skilled. Spent over 20 million to get (buy) sponsorship still get no job . The company that took him here don't pay him.

Many that got here through care same issues. One no shift since demand although that one spend 10m.

But all in all ensure you are dealing with thr right company.... Directly like NHS if you are a nurse or directly to a company owned by a white man and you apply through their website and get response from them

sukkot:
wow you and your friends spent alot of money's on this japa adventure.

But they say naijas are suffering. But suffering men can cough up 30 million, 20 million, 15 million naira . The narrative is not adding up

Dennisochampa:
Don't envy o..
The cold alone is a reason to be depressed and if u no get means of survival for the first few months.... E don be for you be that...
The only difference between abroad and 9ja is that the system here is working....
In terms of food and weather and cost of living... 9ja beat abroad hands down......
So if you have a job that pays well in 9ja and you can live comfortably and still have some to save.... Broz I suggest you stay in 9ja...
Im speaking from experience

Animegirl:
Words can't express how I weep for this country; my future lies in the hands of this nation.

As a young lady striving for success, it seems to be getting harder each day. Things are becoming more expensive, with an increase in the dollar exchange rate.

Life now is about surviving, not living.

nairalee:
Born a Nigerian
Born into a poor family
Born ugly
Born without connections
Born timid
Raised with threats of future failure if u don't follow the rules
Grow up under systemic failure
Marry fellow poor spouse
Give birth in poverty born to suffer.

THE VICIOUS CYCLE OF POVERTY CONTINUES

Dont you know that there are foreign agent on nairaland here who swt mouth or hype institution just like we have techno, infinix agents?
They don't ask for money from u but give u an impression to go to certain institutions. They are hired by this so called countries to scout for students

The same way apc have agent here who hype the party

004gist:



See I have seen lecturers, bankers, engineers,, nurses, who sold houses, lands cars etc but still like a year now no job... Like I have discussed with them on one on one. We shared gist and they voice their frustration and only hope it gets better some day here.

Some families are fighting saying to each other na u make me leave my job come.

Am not saying this to those who wishes to travel but no fund. Mam talking to those millionaires that might think of selling their house not to try it.

Please if you are reading this please don't sell ur house.

And if u must travel have skills like carpenter, joiner, welder, plumber this skills we look down on in Nigeria and get certification to in that field to back it up

ogbonti:


people do not die of accidents and crime in developed society? even in the UK do you know how many fatal stabbings happen a day ? do you know many people die from mass shootings in the USA every year ? who told you people do not die of heart attack in western world? yes people trek alot in naija calling it sufferin but that is the cardio that most people living in the western world are denied off because of driving to every point and then heart attack happens because the body lacks constant exercise and before you mention gym availability in western countries how many people find time to use that gym membership? who told you there are no car jackings - needless murders and abductions in the USA ? Have you seen the list of missing kids and missing person in the USA for the past 1 year ? you will be shocked to your marrows - google is your friend

pansophist:


Point of correction. CFA has more value than the naira.

tensazangetsu20:
To be honest even outside the country the hustle continues but the difference is you see the results of your hardwork. You can plan stuff, work towards them and actually see the results manifesting but it's a whole different scenario in Nigeria.

Femeto:
You no know wetin you dey talk. People can barely save. I am talking about people earning 350k below.

Why not go back to Nigeria?

Intrepid01:


People living in Nigeria should brace up for tough times lie ahead. Crude oil price will progressively fall in coming years and that’s a chaotic issue for Nigeria, as earnings would drop further and the country won’t have enough to service debts, pay for importation of goods and even run the government. That will further put pressure on Naira, making it to deep further. May God help us all.
Instead of hearken to this holy advice, some will label the writer, prophet of doom .

People who are still getting married and giving birth to Nigerian born children are some of the bravest human beings on earth.

The day they took the light out for 3 mins here to do some maintenance. They brought doughnuts, ice cream and burgers to apologize . I remember when internet went out for just 5 mins, the next day the internet company was here to double check everything. The funny thing is the light bills and internet bills here are even lesser than in Nigeria. It's really terrible and to be honest the current Nigeria you are experiencing is paradise compared to the Nigeria in the next few years.
