Care jobs pay very well. The Australian govt has invested heavily into caring for the disabled through a scheme known as NDIS. I know a naija guy here in Melbourne who does disability care full-time (i.e. Mon-Sun) and is raking in money. This is someone who has his PhD in a biological science shocked. I was told that Disability care is even more lucrative than Nursing and less stressful. One can get paid betw $30-35/hr on weekdays and as much as $40-50/hr on Sundays and pub holidays. One would need to do a Certificate IV course on disability but because there is a high demand for these workers (speaking from a Melbourne perspective), some agencies such as OnCALL are willing to give you a short 4-day training to get you working sharply. I have attended this training (as well as bolaobby) and I have started getting shifts though only on weekends as I have my regular 9-5 infotech job on weekdays. Infact the agency keeps calling me to accept shifts on weekdays which I have repeatedly turned down.
One thing is for sure: except you are lazy or you are the type that likes forming, you cannot be poor in this country. Jobs dey plenty.

PoliticsThe Rise And Fall Of Buhari by desertboom(op): 2:40pm On Jan 06, 2018
The Rise and Fall of Buhari.

This write up coming from the London Economist, a magazine that endorsed Buhari for President in 2015, is perhaps the most significant, objective, unbiased, unsentimental and deeply incisive analysis of the policies and actions of this president so far. The facts are unimpeachable by any objective mind.

The Unprecedented Level of Patience Shown to Buhari---the ECONOMIST

Nigerians have never shown such level of patience and tolerance towards any of their past leaders for his record and strange policies as that shown to their current leader, Muhammadu Buhari – a former military dictator now self-confessed democrat who said he came to fight corruption.

Buhari, 75, is being plagued with failures across every single sector in the economy, the like as has never been seen before. Less than a year into office, the economy plummeted into recession, an economy which had till then grown at an average rate of 7% in previous years (2011-2014). The nation’s currency lost 70% of its value, unemployment rose from 6.5 to 26%, commodity prices tripled across many quarters and the state-regulated premium motor spirit prices were hiked by 67% without practically anybody batting an eye.

There have been stern opposition to his policies however and to his very personality as well, notably in the South East and South- South regions in the country as they are called, where he both received less than 5% of the votes cast at the last Presidential election and where he has always been sternly unpopular for his history of bigotry against the people, perceived incompetence and dictatorial tendencies. But in many other regions across the country the people have rather resolved to suffer patiently, drawing up excuses for him at will, blaming everyone including his hundreds of political appointees, anything and anybody but never the man himself.

Buhari’s party, the APC, promised Nigerians unprecedented swiping changes in government and the eviction of all corrupt individuals.
One possible explanation for this could be his party’s hope narrative in the 2015 General election where citizens were promised an unprecedented crackdown on corruption and the abolition of all government waste by a man whose financial worth they declared to have been less than N30million ($150,000 then), a historical low for a former top official in the country and most especially a former leader.

In a country plagued by acute corruption problems and with the unremitted crude oil revenue scandal of 2014 still fresh in the people’s minds, many were eager for an abrupt change, the like as never been seen before. He was seen an army general, already experienced in government, with a great strength of will, tough to take on the nation’s cabal of hardened criminals. He promised to appoint only technocrats to head the country’s departments and to see out the lingering Boko Haram insurgency from the warfront. For a nation lacking basic amenities such as power supply in spite of its huge energy resources and with the lingering insurgency crises, the choice seemed easy to many- the general with integrity was the man for the country.

Talk was cheap then but now reality has taken its course. His earliest opponents pointed out to his track record and not to his speech, noting that the last time Nigeria fell into dismal failure, currency woes and commodity shortages was when he had seized power as a military general in 1983 and stating that the facts of that record contradicted the poems of his image brokers.

Many however just wanted “change” as it was then called and so voted the General and sat to wait for the sung promises. But from the onset of his government, the course was as his critics had predefined: Incompetency, bigotry and dictatorial tendencies plaguing the country.

He ignored the newly born genocide in the middle belt of the country perpetuated by the Fulani herdsmen of his kindred against the Christian communities in Benue, Plateau and later on Kaduna. He breached the Central Bank’s 2007 Act of Independence, telling it to suspend forex disbursements to steel importers and other manufacturing sectors in a bid to defend the Naira, a disastrous action which kick-started a spiral of recession.


He took 3 months to appoint his Chief of Staff, 6 months to appoint a cabinet and now 23 months and yet counting to appoint heads of agencies and board members he was so eager to fire upon his assumption into office and rose import duties on the most basic of commodities in a bid to raise government revenue.

And as for the corruption fight, the facts on ground do not show any one at all. Apart from a few officials harassed or imprisoned without court order, the country is yet to witness the first victim of the said campaign at the court stands.

Government waste is on the rise, officials publicly caught in graft acts were swiftly excused, the 2016 Budget year passed without implementation and most worrisome, the Central Bank’s foreign reserves were being shared among unknown Bureau De Change operators at variable rates at the detriment of critical manufacturing, business and banking sectors.

The government continues to praise itself but the people seem to be increasingly tired of the paraded self-righteousness. The President’s recent illness was greeted with cheers by many. Many are just tired of the government. But the remarkable level of patience shown so far has been unprecedented and many a times the general reactions towards acts of constitutional violations was one of calmness or insensitivity.

If the Change narrative of the 2015 election and the songs of man of integrity are to account for this, then Nigerians may have just certified themselves on the world map as a nation easy to fool with propaganda. An adult should be judged on his track record not on his tongue.

Because there's no cause to make. And how's saying silly statements such as there are more poor people in the u.k than in Nigeria fighting for Nigeria's cause or most Americans are on the brink of suicide?
Imagine saying there are poorer people in UK than Nigerian.
A civilized and a first world country with endless opportunity. Damn
Nigerians that are always very happy to buy fairly used items from Uk and US have suddenly turn richer.
I reside in Nigeria and there is no basis for comparism.

A Nigerian graduate who secure a 50k naira job per month will go to church for thanksgiving has suddenly turn richer.
A Nigerian will save for months and years just to buy a fairly used car and will celebrate as if it's a big achievement.

They make life too difficult and impossible for a hard working Nigerian child and one faceless will tell me Nigerians are having it good. Imagine lies upon lies

So go ahead and name your best brains abroad. All neoliberal slaves furthering the cause of exploitative capitalism. Nigeria must be nationalistic, no single Nigerian have business going abroad
Even the the thread you are quoting me is about a sojourn of a Nigerian professional that left. Can't you see?
If he was not good at what he does back home would a UK company have sponsored his VISA?

You still want me to reel out names when it's evident on this thread

We must say the truth first, Nigeria is ours.

We're merely existing and nothing rosy in Nigeria for a common man

America and UK have more poorer people but the black brain can easily be brainwashed and you are one of such. A careful research will make you realize you have been under an intense brainwashing circle since birth. Nigeria have no single best mind abroad, no Nigeria who reside abroad have been rated in anything globally, they are all wage slaves
You're a bloody liar from the pit of hell.

This Pidgin2 gets me irritated so much

Lets be realistic. What will change the fact that inside our country in the year 2017, more than half of the population are languishing in poverty, unemployed/underemployed and survive on less than a dollar a day? Some of the countries we helped now enjoy stable power supply and have good basic social amenities which are inaccessible to the common man in Nigeria. Most of our country's best minds are abroad building other nations and a lot of the ones in the country want to go abroad. Charity begins at home. The government should redirect its resources at fast tracking the country's development instead of you selling lies to people here.
I reside in Nigeria, it's only a tiny few that have it good here.
