TravelRe: UK Removes Over 100 Occupations From Skilled Worker Visa List by Cousin9999: 6:54pm On Aug 31, 2025
This is less about immigration and more about late-stage capitalism. And the UK probably feels it worse than a lot of developed countries because they've had conservative government for so long. Salaries are truly bad in the UK. And when you combine that with offshoring and bringing in immigrants to lower salaries... it's a mess.

Nigerians have nothing to do with this. It's the Indians. The UK has like 70M people. India has like 1.5B. Also, Indians think scamming and cheating is something to be proud of.
CrimeRe: Crippled Man Posing As Beggar Arrested With ₦20M, Accused Of Molesting Boys (pix by Cousin9999: 6:39pm On Aug 31, 2025
Begging is one of the most lucrative things on earth. That's why organized crime traffics people and forces them to do it.

There are beggars making more in a day than you make in a week or month.
TravelRe: Japa: I Sold My Father’s House For ₦45m To Relocate To Canada, I'm jobless by Cousin9999: 12:03am On Aug 31, 2025
Jakumo:
At today's exchange rate of 1,500 naira to the US dollar, 45 million naira is just $27K USD, which is only enough to rent an apartment for less than a year, leaving the costs of food, transport, electricity, gas and water unpaid.
Uh, it depends on where you are.

If you're in Philadelphia or Chicago, that would pay rent on a good apartment in a central area for at least two years with about 10k USD leftover. If you actually sign a 2-year lease, you can get a lower rent. If you're willing to live in a smaller and less desirable place, you can pay significantly less than that. If you're willing to have a roommate or rent a room, you can also pay a lot less.

Transportation wouldn't be expensive because a bus or train pass would get you everywhere you need to go. Heat, hot water, and gas is included in rent, and many buildings will flat rate your electricity (at a low price) or even bundle it into rent.

Food, even healthy stuff, isn't expensive. All you need is a sack of rice, cheap veggies, and cheap protein. For breakfast and lunch, cheap bread, protein, cold cuts, and a pack of eggs has you covered. A sack of rice lasts one person a long time. You can get a bunch of chicken and pork cheap. Beans are cheap and healthy. Cabbage is cheap. Frozen vegetables are cheap. And there's lots of grocery stores focused on delivering food at the lowest price.

Doing Uber/Lyft/Taskrabbit is a solid option. It's not glamorous, but it can put decent money in your pocket. CNA work is easy to get. Again, not glamorous, but it can pay bills, especially if you do travel work or take long-term work with a rich or upper middle class family. There are other jobs that are less desirable, but pay decent and are easy to get. Usually they require only a few months of training, or companies will accept people without training. 3rd shift jobs are another option because most people's bodies cannot handle those hours. But those jobs are good because you may barely be working. And you can study while you work. If your English is good and you have a degree, you should also be able to land a remote/WFH job doing customer service. It won't pay a lot, but it's WFH. These jobs are just random options, I'm not saying you should do it long-term.

I need help with the contents in this plate. There are many people outside the country here. If you are familiar with any of the food here pls I would appreciate your input.
Looks like the "Chinese" food that various Asians sell in lots of white countries. Lo mein. Teriyaki beef. Steamed white rice.

TravelRe: Buying A House Abroad Vs Building A House And Investing In Nigeria by Cousin9999: 6:40pm On Aug 29, 2025
Do both:

Let the property you buy abroad finance your properties back home. Rent them out. And remember that not every house costs a half million. And the cheap houses aren't all in bad areas or the middle of nowhere. You can also find cheap condos. There's tons of them.

People abroad don't buy these homes because their fragile ego dictates that they buy stuff they can show off instead of something that makes them financially comfortable.

Furthermore, if you know anything about carpentry, electrical, and plumbing, you can buy a house abroad with a tiny salary. For example, Detroit, Michigan is almost giving houses away:

The city of Detroit has this land bank, and you can buy houses for as little as $500 or $1000 (USD). The reason it exists is because the city had a rough time economically, and many people left. This resulted in tons of abandoned homes, which became violent drug dens. After a high profile crime, a millionaire partnered with the city to buy up these places and offer them cheap, so the right sorts of people could acquire them and revitalize the area.

These homes are obviously not in pristine condition, so it's only for people who either can do carpentry/electrical/plumbing/HVAC, or who have friends/family that will do it/help for a fraction of the cost. But it's worth it because you can rehab these places for like $30,000 (give or take) and you'll have a 2-4 bedroom house or rental property with no mortgage.

TravelRe: Nigerians Eligible To Apply For New Zealand’s Seasonal Visa Schemes by Cousin9999: 10:12pm On Aug 24, 2025
There are lots of valid criticisms. But some people are being silly.

And unlike some of the terrible places some are looking to go, NZ is actually a developed country where a lot of the population has sense and aren't degenerates.

That said, it's not the UK, US, or Canada. But it's also not Asia or latin America either.

And people shouldn't think so small. This opportunity gives access to that market. You could easily use that access to set up a business, acquire property, or whatever. There are people in Nigeria collecting rent money on property abroad, and it pays all their bills. There are people who use the resources they access abroad to set up random businesses that do well, like auto parts businesses.

TravelRe: Kisarazu: Things To Know About Japanese City Now Hometown For Nigerians by Cousin9999: 9:57pm On Aug 23, 2025
Cousin9999:
1. Japanese are very racist. Don't be fooled by emulation.

2. Despite a developed looking country, they treat women horribly and laws do not protect women and girls. It wouldn't be wise to bring a daughter or wife to that country. https://www.nairaland.com/8137163/black-box-diaries-womans-fight

3. They look the other way when it comes to crimes against children. And it's only recently that they raised the age of consent. Prior to 2023, their age of consent was 13. They also have tons of media and products that would be illegal in just about every other country because of how they describe or involve minors.

4. H00kers are everywhere, and they treat it as normal.

5. Asians are quite ignorant about the rest of the world and other people -- even people in their region who are only a 2 hour flight away. It's not west Europe.

6. There are no laws against discrimination.

7. It's very common for them to create racist media depicting black people in offensive ways. And they reject any criticism of the practice.

8. Japanese men treat women so horribly that some Japanese women will latch onto just about any foreign man so she can have a decent relationship. These women will give very regular men everything. But they're still racist. They'll have your child, get you connected with work and other resources, but still be racist.

9. Half white and half black children are terribly abused by other children (and adults) in Japan. If that's how they treat a child who looks almost 100% Japanese, imagine what they'll do to an African child.

If someone will travel to do farm labor abroad, why not start an agriculture business back home. Lots of random people are doing well with this. And you don't have to be rich or an expert to do it. And it's not like farming way back when -- it's a very different industry where people can make real money.

White people are bad built. Imagine someone actually getting into bed with that and passing those genes to their kids.
RomanceRe: Nigerian Girls, White Men Are The Future by Cousin9999: 12:41pm On Aug 19, 2025
Another point, even though this is a troll thread:

-- Imagine getting up every day to work 8-12 hours, and you bring that money home to a white. Do you have any idea how ridiculous that is?
RomanceRe: Nigerian Girls, White Men Are The Future by Cousin9999:
I know this is a troll thread, however:

-- No confident, well-adjusted black person finds white people attractive. Only people who internalized racism, or have some other issue.

-- There's no need to debate attractiveness of black people. No other group of people on earth is sexier than us. And it's absurd to pretend as if a white finding you attractive has any meaning or value. Whites are not normal. You don't even want to know how they think.

-- Creating a half white child is just birthing another racist or washing away your lineage or someone else's. You clown yourself every time you step out the door with a child that looks nothing like you. Other groups of people are clowning you too.

-- Some people need to stop and think about their actions. Actually allowing a white person to touch your body...no. No.

-- I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Dark skinned people look better naked. Let's be real. Men, do you really want to look at zombie boobs? Ladies, do you want to look at a bunch of veins and pinkness? You don't.
TravelRe: Why We Don’t Regret Moving Abroad – Nigerians by Cousin9999: 11:02pm On Jun 14, 2025
immortalcrown:
This is a proof that money is not everything. Money can be made in Nigeria. But there are levels of comfort that money can never guarantee in Nigeria. Some poor people abroad are more comfortable than some rich people in Nigeria.
There is no substitute for the dignity, beauty, and joy of living in your home country/culture.

There are no Nigerians that prefer being abroad. They're abroad because multiple countries and 1% entities are constantly stealing from Nigeria and undermining its government. They are not immigrants, they're refugees of neocolonialism and oligarchs.

On the most basic level, no country besides another African nation or black Caribbean nation can be as pleasant as Nigeria. Nonblacks are not attractive or pleasant to live around, work with, and do business with. Their cultures are boring and lame. Their food and music are garbage. They pollute your children's mind with their various kinds of depravity. They erode your culture. Your grandchildren may not even speak Yoruba/Igbo/etc. Worse, they could be mixed race.

Most of those kinds of countries have nothing to offer you, furthermore, they're the most racist.

You're better off looking into neighboring countries and starting a business there. Many people find that starting a business in a nearby country has none or significantly less of the hassles/problems they encounter in Nigeria. And you won't have to sell your house to move.
