I have this Ghanian friend that worked at a hospital...

As an anesthetist. He had a poultry large poultry farm and did crop farming as side business. This is a poultry farm that had close to 10,000 birds and was doing well and he was comfortable. His wife also worked as a staff of one of the highest paying companies-Cocoabod.

Dude woke up one day and said he was leaving all these behind, including his wife and 2 kids to travel to America to go "hustle."

He told me he worked in Winter and his fingers froze from the cold.


Scenario 2 is another friend that recently traveled sometime in the middle of last year. This one also had a good job, an 11 acres peice of land where he did pig farming as side business (he even gave me about 3 acres from the part he wasn't using on which I planted maize and okra last 2 years) he had property a wife and recently had a kid.


This one called me just early this year telling me he was now in America looking for a job.

He told me he recently got a job, he didn't disclose the type of job. But I suspect it's one of those unskilled jobs. He was telling me recently when we chatted how he had to work and was paying the person whose paper he was using to work.

He said something like he was saving money for now to get his own papers and couldn't even afford to get a decent bedsheet for now. He didn't want to open up on many things but I could sense his struggles.


My question is why would someone be doing fairly or averagely okay in their own country and decide to travel to another country not to go work as skilled or start a business but to go do demeaning unskilled labor work.

Why would I leave my country where I live almost as a king to go live in a rat race.


I can never understand that.

Another person was confiding in me recently that he wanted to travel to the US. This is someone that has a small factory, into iron rod sales and construction business. I just looked at him and told him not to do it. He should focus on growing his business and I used the other 2 people I mentioned earlier as examples.

If I want to travel to the US or any other country it's to go flex, explore, or look for bigger business opportunities and not to go hustle and start from the scratch.

A crocodile in the my country is better than a lizard in obodo oyibo!

During GEJ time standard for any road was max 155m naira so now lets factor inflation it shouldn’t be more than 500m at most!! Including drainage or any kind

It's a duplex that is being converted to a flat, the upper picture is the Ground floor and the lower picture is the first floor. The stairs is from the ground floor to the first floor and the bedrooms on the corner have cross ventilation

mtchew

Darius84:
What is your thoughts on this plan, especially the room sizes

thanks for the laughs this plan is so funny 😆😆. Why is the dining obstructing the room and kitchen. Wait, where is that staircase leading to and where is it starting from! 3rooms and no cross ventilation? I can’t even understand the concept behind this design.

He set buhari up for a fall, otp

The usa have no problem with politicians coming to store billions of dollars in their banks but the small boys taking a few 100s is what they are not happy with. Look at the caos they caused in nepal just to get a USA friendly person into power that will help them loot their resources. Usa plants cia spies in every part of the world but they don’t want spies in their own region.

6 months straight i was buying from this particular ibo guy and after 2weeks the malaria is back even more harder than it was till i changed pharmacy and took another one then i was totally fine till date no symptoms. Why are some people this heartless? Is the life of humans worth this money they are after!!!

Anyone with 1m in 1998 is currently a billionaire with or without coca cola. My fathers salary that year was 75k.

Not on Nairaland. Just saying in general terms. Especially those that post on facebook or tictok status.

Saw what they did for a friend I visited his site.
