in Nigeria how many retired civil servants at 55-60 have enough resources to even feed let alone travelling around the world, or is it the less than 20k naira they earn as pension that will finance such lifestyle most are even owed their pension.

I wished him luck

Yes it is very humbling my brother. I can not imagine a man at almost 50 years decelerating from being a Boss to a Boy Boy for Oyibos. In exchange for clean 247 electricity and security. Definitely, they are better organized than us, right?

But it depends on where you lived in Nigeria. You mentioned being an Igbo man, so it could be that your city is not properly organized as opposed to other places with serene air and cleaner environments.

Alternatively, working as a warehouse handy-man is boy boy in your language. But congratulations for promoting yourself from big man to boy boy.

I promise you that we will build Nigeria, so your children can have a better place to return to, and hopefully you will be visiting often and not when you are too weak to be useful to Nigeria.

That dude can't come home and his children will not return to Nigeria

Do you think air ticket from Brisbane or Sydney to Lagos is beans for a forklifting dude ...


Forget them returning ! Dude just reduced himself

it is a slave mentality

Mumu! Nobody dey drag anything with una! Stop this comparison rubbish! It makes no sense. We are all Nigerians and every Nigerian has the right to live anywhere he/she wants so when you think you own the SE or the yorubas own the SW , you lie. You no own shishi! Small time you go jump go thread of " hunger dey kill us".
And please note; you cannot compare lagos with any part of the SE. It's like comparing Okpoko to Awka. It makes no sense.

Mugu ...Lagos this and that like say Na una build am


Oya show me the one una build from Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Ekiti etc

seborrhic:
The three months is the shocking part.
If he is correct and truthful,then he had well laid out plans and is lucky.
I am just imagining someone going to a new country and already started doing well at 3months.Shelter,kids already in school,fees settled,got a job already and saving.
Thats quite an enormous achievement

that dude isn't telling the truth truth me...he wants validation ..give it to him

lacasera14:
Gone are the days when migrating to UK is seen as an achievement. Those winter coats, boots, head warmers, long socks, and gloves no longer hold water. They may look classy and fab but that person just finished washing toilets all through the day and is about to do security work at night. Then a manager of Zenith Bank will resign and move to the UK with his family. Succeed in Nigeria and have the money to travel to any country of your choice for vacations. There are some things you'll enjoy in Nigeria that you can never in the west. Choose your tradeoffs wisely.

you are right

EleventhWeirdo:
@Usefulsense

If you had ACCA from Nigeria, I believe your experience with accounting job hunting in Australia would be different. Its hard to imagine an FCA of our noble ICAN packing trash in Australia. ICAN needs to do more in terms of bilateral cooperations with other professional bodies. You would have been able to practice with your FCA in England, I believe

that was my position

CharleyBright:
It is well.
I have never understood the unhealthy beef and dangerous rivalry between Yorubas and Ibos.
Pure raw hatred for each other is what they spew.
It has grown worse since the 2023 elections.
I dare say that a Yoruba man is safer in the East than an Ibo man is safe in the West. The Yorubas are to take much of the blame. Their Yoruba Ronu gospel only brew hatred against Ibos.

Sadly yorubas and Ibos that should be uniting to face their common enemy are so disunited and at each others throat to the advantage of their enemy.
Today's Yoruba and Ibo youths below 40yrs are brainless without vision of purpose.

Igbo no get Yoruba time...your a naturally hate Igbo

Yet, an Eze ndigbo was flogged in Akure by the youths.

I don't even know who's doing competition with you guys! Oya, make una go hawk gala for anambra and Imo. Leave lagos alone

Na gala money dem use dey develop . .what did you achieve with skulling money

FreeStuffsNG:
Adegboye said she sees the deportation order from federal immigration officials as a death sentence for her family, which now includes two more children who were born in Canada.

She issued a plea for Canada to reverse the deportation so she can continue to build a life for her children and care for her patients.

Obviously, she's lying! The family is lying by raising religious persecution. They are Yoruba and in Yorubaland there's no religious persecution. The 3 religion of Christianity, Islam and Yoruba traditional Isese religion exist side by side even in every family and community. She should have been honest enough to state the main reason instead of denigrating her place.

This is what you get when you build your lives on lies. Truth will eventually catch up with you.

If you check her background now, she's probably one of those educated with tax payers money and on graduation deserted the nation for a foreign country that made zero investment in their public education before leaving Nigeria.

We have patients in Nigeria too and we need more health workers too. Please come back home with dignity, your children are watching and learning from you if you build their lives on lies. They will grow up not seeing anything wrong with lying and denigrating their origin.

God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

she should come back..her brother the Babablue is the president....she will do well here

Why don't they buy Toyota or Lexus


It's European cars....

Pgirigory:
Incomplete information, landmass were omitted in your propaganda

well tell that to UNDP ...or maybe do your own research let's review it

The Nigeria as a country is been divided into six region with the Yoruba having the SW region while the Igbo have SE region and parts of SS region. The Hausa have the NE and NW region

These are the level of development and urbanism or urbanised places in these regions according to research

Also there are quotation of governance and indebtedness of these states that makes up regions

Russia that cannot even dominate the airspace of Ukraine up till now!
Russia whose see fleet has been 30% wiped off by Ukraine who doesn't have a single ship!

Oya tell Nigeria to dominate am

Zwooks:
Nigerians will always find a way to beat the system. When do we talk about cemetry space fraud ? The frayd at FRSC is almost never detected. Thise ones will take you to the office, make you oay to an office. They even have designated account numbers and lots of POS operatirs around them for the sake of obtaining. At the end of the day, na wash. Tbey get 30 billion, they declare 21 billion to FG amd share the rest. Untraceable, no audits


And you think Nigeria isnt a failed nation, dey play

don't call Nigerians....Lagos people have a way of allowing touts and tugs to run their things ...

Don't call Nigerians

tradepunter:
You BE FAILURE FOR REAL LIFE..... if you know how to use your daft head to research you will know.... most USA army death is as a result of high end training....... they stimulate all conditions which in some cases results in these accidents..... it's the reason why in war you hardly hear about high casualties...... it's why there's a clause when you sign up to certain unit...... go to Ukraine and see how retired vets is taking off professional spetznas.... it's why Russia cry's like a bitch and threaten using nuclear weapon.....
ODE .......RUSSIA KEE YOU THERE

yet they ran out of Vietnam, Afghanistan,Syria and about doing so in Iraq

TenQ:
It just simply mean that they have more aircrafts than most other nation.

Na these flying caskets dem wan use fight Russia

Flying caskets

VAPatrick:
Someone who hasn't travelled outside Nigeria will never understand. There is no basis for comparison between Nigeria and a developed country. In terms of everything, I mean everything, countries like Australia, UK and Canada are way ahead of Nigeria. Having said that, the decision to relinquish one's job as a manager in Nigeria for a low level job (e.g. forklift operator) in Australia is personal, which we should all respect. Besides, no one migrates with the primary objective of taking up a cleaning or fork lift operator job. For most people already at the middle or top level of their careers, they take up these jobs to survive, pending when they land their ideal jobs.

For me, if I am to choose between being a bank manager in Nigeria and forklift operator in Australia, I'll go with the latter. As a forklift operator in Australia, I will live a good life and provide a better future for my children. Even if I decide to return to Nigeria after 25 to 30 years, I'll live very comfortably, far better than I would have, had I been a bank manager.

To reiterate, no basis for comparison, and respect people's decisions. Shalom!

You can't separate emergent, urgent and routine care- its manytimes a continum. There is a reason your presidents have spent months abroad on health grounds. Even with full access to the national chest and every local physician at their call, they still scurried abroad. The average general hospital in the UK is more equipped than all medical centresvin many states of our nation.

Secondly, which class of home based Nigerians do you think are buying houses abroad or sending their kids to school abroad? I recently met a high court judge who's who has been frantically looking to relocate his family. There is a reason for that.

Look at the pyramid, why do you think health and safety are level 2?

We've been through this before- point is there is a litany of safetynets and life necessities/enjoyments average westerners see than even the rich in Nigeria only dream of. No need listing them. When I've asked before, take away 'enjoyment' due to rampant poverty around, what else does a rich person in Nigeria enjoy?

I know many business owners here in Nigeria that aren't even politically exposed that have homes abroad

Usefulsense:
The man who inducted me in the warehouse where I work is 65. He is a made man. He told me he comes around to work because there is no one to stay at home with.

This man has about two houses he receives rent from every week. The rent is enough to pay his bills for life.

As per accounting work, I already rejected one because they wanted me to sign an undertaking that I will never leave before completing one year.

The pay they offered is exactly what I'm earning in the warehouse. I made it clear that if I must sign the undertaking, I will need at least 10Aud on top of my current earnings.

Bros, I will move into accounting before the end of April. Some recruitment firms are already on my case.

However, if I don't get it, I'm already doing better than I was doing while in Nigeria.

you still don't get it...everything ain't about dollars and cents...stop looking at life that way bro

Where do you want to be in the next 10 - 15yrs

Do you still want to be earning hourly pay or do you want to retire and let people work for you ?

chidi4sam:
You are so misinformed. How much is ticket that people in Australia cannot afford? Let me shock you, I have not seen one begger in Australia. Whoever the person is, not withstanding his visa status, everyone is OK here. I can get my to and fro ticket fee by working only on Sunday. Australia pays the highest wages when compared to Canada, UK, and even US (in some companies). Use your google and search about it instead of displaying your ignorance online.

you think long haul flight isn't expensive..don't worry

jedisco:
Did you read his post?

He said with what he knows today, if he was 52 and earning double he would still have gone.

Stop, think through that before criticising.

I said I wish him luck

jedisco:
Its would be a multitude times easier for him to travel the world on his current job than for someone earning 2 million monthly in Nigeria to do same.

the people I know for years now that are in Brisbane, Adelaide hasn't even afford to come back to Nigeria for years now...Na the world they wan travel

Bossman:
What percentage of Nigeria's population in your quoted age group are retired and traveling the world?

I said I wish him luck

Gerrard59:
Not again!!!

Unless he intends to return to Nigeria later in life, why the conversion? Is he spending naira in Australia? Just as I stated above, returning has to be planned now or else, he will be in Australia for the rest of his life, as flying to Nigeria would not be feasible unless he gets quite rich to afford it. Remaining in Australia for the rest of his life erodes whatever AUD to NGN conversion you have there.

His earnings and expenses are in AUD, stick to it. Nothing concerns NGN in Australia.

No mind them...always converting like bureau de change ...like say Na Naira dem dey spend there

Gerrard59:
This is an interesting tale for Nigerian immigrants who live in far-flung places. As they age, they should make plans regarding who they marry and where they will want to retire because travelling between a place like Australia and Nigeria is not feasible continuously compared to a Nigerian in, say, Germany or the UK.

So, one should be mindful of who he marries while in Australia, how many children they have and where exactly they wish to retire vis-a-vis physical assets they will own.

The truth is that many of them their wives push them into this decision. I know many of them and soke regret it and while some hide it

That's the truth !

chidi4sam:
That is in Nigeria. People are still active even at 80 years in Australia.

been active at 80 is different and working at 80 is different

I want to retire at 58 plus .. that is what I want of life ..then I can travel around

Gerrard59:
OK. Point noted.



If the person was a truck pusher or Danfo driver while in Nigeria? Yes. But an accountant who was earning 1.1 million naira doing sheet packing? NO.

Please, let's fear God when we use the phrase "decent life".

Thank you.

someone who is an accountant earning 1 million plus and leaving Nigeria to be a forklift driver in Australai hasn't made much progress..he is at the lower ring of career ladder there and that's the truth ...

It's like been a medical director in Nigeria to travel and be a truck driver ...the person hasn't made progress in career ...that's the truth. Forget all the money . Within him he will know the truth and will tell himself the truth forget these things ....

That's the way I measure progress...notdollar and cents ! At 48 yrs he is a forklift driver how long will he work and click career ladder in Australia...maybe 15 yrs or plus ...then calculate his age
