Stop lying. You are just an ignorant fellow who has not gotten the opportunity to travel and see things for yourself.

Most drivers in my place of work are landlords

CaptainFM1:
What can be accomplished with minimum wage of 30k? This is why there's corruption in the society.

I still maintain that organized Labour should demand for hourly rate. If the hourly rate cannot put a meal on your table then we are very poor. And I'm not talking of dependants yet.

That 30k is quite deceiving. It's just about #150 per hour...and that cannot put meal on the table for anyone anywhere in Nigeria.

Minimum wage is not the same as average wage!

Another attention seeker

Sure

Fuji house of commotion

Who does he resemble between dad and mum sef

No Buhari. No Tinubu. No pain. No gain.

Tinubu used Buhari...

Nigeria

The interesting thing about Nigeria's average net salary is that many people earning such can end up accomplishing more in Nigeria than those earning thousands of dollars in other countries.

Did they tell FG when they were leaving for Sudan of all places

Nonsense!

But Peter Obi said he is a mere trader.

So what will he be teaching Also, I think he graduated with a "Pass" or something close

Strong face may be all Shettima has...

Was suprised the day I saw him weep profusely...

Na so

Pigs... should go and rest in peace

Okay

Beautiful!

Pigs... must find something to grunt about...

Pigs... must be behind it. But to what end? To gnash their teeth?

Pigs... oya start wailing...

He is gradually coming around - to accept Tinubu

Pigs... will be left in the mud

Anybody can call himself a pastor...

It does not make him one!

Little by little, they have started conceding...

Pigs... should just throw in the towel...

Pigs... should just give up already.

The Doctrine of Judicial Self-restraint precludes this Honourable Court from delving into matters with political colouration or matters aimed at getting direct or indirect political goals.

Wow! This has rendered all related petitions null and void. Nice one!!

Pigs... are on a long thing...

That's more like it!

Pigs... should just go and rest...

Damn!

Some Nigerians are just dumbbb, I swear!!

At least, talks about ING and military takeover thereby truncating the democratic process have been set aside...

I just hope the pigs... are listening

Pigs... will be in severe pains...

It depends...

(a) If you're just hustling to survive in the US and your family (e.g. wife, parents, siblings etc) is not there and you have skills/jobs that can pay you at least 500k in Nigeria, moving back might be better. In Maslow's hierarchy of needs, your mental health will come next after survival. With 500k, you'll always survive in Nigeria, and you can always be with your family. I perceive that 500k in Nigeria will give you a similar power purchase of $75k yearly in the US. With missing your family, friends etc, the conversion rate doesn't matter that much.

(b) If you are doing great work that is sponsoring your working visa in the US, you might want to have international experience and think of marriage with someone that you can bond with (Nigerian, American etc.) or bring one of your siblings that you can bond with over (if your Visa is that powerful). After getting your US Green Card/Citizenship, you might still move back to Nigeria (if you want) and evolve your own brand/career.

I understand most people that think everything is great about japaing. Some are struggling economically, and their best bet is to 'japa'; others are falling for the bandwagon effect ('me-too wan do am'), yet others want the experience of living abroad. What they fail to know is that:

- You spend much of your money on living costs (tax, house rent, insurance, health, car, etc.)
- The communal life is not here (everyone is running around to survive), and this can induce depression
- The weather can be very wicked, and natural disasters are common in some cities ( think the US and New Zealand)
- Marriage is under threat here, and depending on your values, you might be affected
- Depending on your family setting, the Black man tax can set in easily because there is a legend of some trees dispensing cash in Abroad. In Nigeria, even if you make more money than Abroad, that expectation is low.

I hope you look at your dynamics and make the right decision.

Abroad is definitely not for you.

Some people would rather in live in a studio abroad than in a duplex in Nigeria.

Also, many people equate Nigeria to Lagos which is wrong.

Where I stay, I don't have a generator because I don't need it. I could leave home for work sometimes 7:45am and still get to work before 8am. And occasionally I do 80-100km/h on the road.

Life is easy here...

Unnecessary

No matter how low I think of you as a lady, I will NEVER rubbish you for daring to approach me.

Nice
More pains for pigs...
