Is this JAPA or JAPADA?

BoldBrainz:
Oh!

So the same America that is "protecting" South Korea from the intimidating tendencies of North Korea is the one giving military might to Israel to intimidate Palestine in their own lands, and your sense of reasoning tells you all of that is just proper?

I'm done with this conversation.

What's your own about Nigeria gan sef??!

Anyone needs a soothsayer to know all these textbooks economic and financial principles and laws don't work for Nigeria

They keep pushing us into ditch...wetin we do Una

We need generic home grown solutions to our problems...not all these laws of demand, supply, price elasticity, equilibrium, scarcity, wants and those known laws wey dey work for other countries.

Nigeria is Unique...our market behaves as if e get legions of evil spirits controling am..so, those laws no dey work here..abeg!

Make CBN no listen to these people...look inwards and let's consider irrational crude methods...it's possible what will work no dey inside textbooks or articles yet.

They're extremists.

The Caliphates had all the time in the world and resources to eradicate the Jews. They didn't. In fact, the Jews flourished.
By the end of the 16th century, the Ottoman Empire was home to the world's largest Jewish population.
But the opposition to the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine by the native 90+% of the population is being misconstrued as genocidal intent.

I'm sure if the Afrikaans had evicted the majority black population from South Africa, enforced unlimited Caucasian immigration, and used Genesis 1:28 as their rallying cry; these clowns will be singing a different tune.

Zero empathy because of religion. Shameful!

LordAdam16:
Are you saying it is okay to kill 2 million civilians to get to 40,000 fighters?

Furthermore, Israel has a well-documented history of using relocations as pretext to steal lands. That's how the country was created. They forced out most of the inhabitants and stole the land. They've done the same in the West Bank where they've slowly edged out Palestinians and settled "innocent civilians" in Palestinian land.

This is all Israel's mess.

90% of Japarians can't even buy some Bungalows in my own street here in Abuja. I said it with my whole heart.

When I returned back to Naija from Sweden, I couldn't boast of what I am having now.

My wifey is in shock how I did it (Blow like Satan II). But her lucrative job can't let her leave the country. If not she for find her way too

JAPA is not meant for everyone, if you JAPA and it favor you, thank God. If you JAPA and it does not favor you, please keep shame aside and return back like me.

My wife was literally feeding me in Sweden. I felt so useless that when I look at my naked self on the mirror in the bathroom. I see myself having a P*ssy not a Dick.

Some JAPAnarians will not even see 10million in Naira till they die talkless of 100million

Japa vs anti-japa

I've lived in 4 countries, so let me offer my two cents.

First, if you're looking at it from a financial standpoint, those who live in Nigeria and work for organizations in Europe or the Americas are far more gainfully employed than those living in these places (even though those living abroad are more paid than thier offshore counterparts). Even if you spend mindlessly, you'd still likely be very rich cause of exchange rate. If you're single, you'd probably be spending between 5% to 10% of your salary (depending on your level) and the remaining part (which could be more than a million depending on your level) could go to savings and investment. Meanwhile, your counterparts in the Western world will be spending in the currency of the resident countries. Some of them might even be struggling to save after paying monthly house rent of about $2,300 in NY and bills like electricity, water, gas, internet, phone, cable etc. as well as other expenses like transportation, groceries, wears, haircut and entertainment. There's simply no comparison here.

That said, like someone has already mentioned, living abroad isn't all about money for some people. Other factors like amenities, safety, passport (freedom of movement), exposure to diversity and, most importantly, the future of your offspring all come into play. Now, to your question, it all depends on the individual's field, level, the country where they are and the exchange rare at the time. Some countries pay more than others. Some fields pay more than others and advanced/senior professionals earn more than mid level and entry level professionals. So it's not very practical to give a figure. Moreover, people aren't dumb enough to keep compounding money in the bank like that. That's a poor man's mindset. Buying assets that appreciate with time or investing in financial instruments that counters inflation is the only way to secure the value of your money. Finally, whether you move or not is up to you. You might save less (even though you get paid more when you're there), live in a much smaller apartment and deal with the cold weather and racism, but there are benefits like thes ones I mentioned above. It's an individual thing. So take a moment to understand your priorities. And if you're still not so sure, secure a visitors' visa and go see for yourself first (bearing in mind visiting/vacationing in a place is far more fun than actually living there).

Good luck!

Prudency045:
And what is the percentage of Nigerians that will be able to save 1million naira before they die?

tensazangetsu20:
I think the better question will be to ask what the value of 100 million will be in six years time and what would happen if you lose your job while in Nigeria and how easy it would be to get another one. 1800 USD isnt a lot or a mind blowing salary

Kenn55:
After you make the first 100m what next? Make another 100m?
@Raydos, this is what I was trying to talk about in your thread. Every talk or argument about Nigerians is about money, more money, more more money and it ends with money.
Nobody seems to give a damn about any other thing apart from the money they make.
This thread will degenerate into an argument on who makes more money, the stage is set. This is all we care about as a people.

Probably never lol.

You will most likely live paycheck to paycheck.

Swears!

Just yesterday, the US, UAE, Saudi Arabia, the EU, and India unveiled a massive intercontinental project to counter China's One Belt, One Road initiative.

While in South-Central Africa, China lit the fuse for Africa's first transAfrican rail network connecting coast to coast. The expanded Lobito corridor will connect the Lobito Port in Angola and the Dar es Salaam Port in Tanzania (image attached).

The Americans and Europeans are only concerned about the Angola, DRC, and Zambia section but at least they're putting their money where their mouth is. The US DFC will be investing $250M in the project, their first financing of rail infrastructure in Africa.

China is making them loosen their purse strings. And we'd all enjoy the dividends.

-Lord

LordAdam16:
China's largest export destination is not the US or the EU anymore. It is the South East Asian (ASEN) bloc of 10 countries.
Last year, China got cracking on the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, and this year Chinese exports to ASEAN crossed $600B every month.

But but but wE hAvE tO cOnTaIn CHINA!

China is expanding the Singapore model to the entire ASEAN zone. And in time the rest of the population will grow rich enough and be closer to Singapore's level and ultimately become a lucrative market in its own right. A textbook example of a win-win.

As an aside, the G20 accepted AU as its newest permanent member. Many thanks to China's doggedness and India formally putting stakeholders on the spot.

If only Africa had its sh*t together. Billions to be made and we're slacking!

Gerrard59:
I agree with you and Emmaodet.

Unfortunately, the most vocal people against such a plan are blacks, both Africans and African-Americans, based abroad. They will never return to Africa to make things work as they are supposed to, but are at the forefront of discouraging such a plan in the name of racism and whatnot. Unless enacted by African governments, most White countries won't involve themselves in such. The Chinese who are doing the same are being accused of racism, whereas no be dem trade black people in slavery.

We are too emotional. I and Tensa20 have discussed the same outsourcing and agreed that certain parts of the economy should be outsourced to people who know it better than us. If the ills of slave trade and colonialism would prevent us from working with the White man, let's do with the Japanese, South Koreans and Chinese. Hand construction and maintenance of key sectors to them. Let them run it as they do in their countries. Pay them good money, and ensure our people get trained.

There’s too much sex in this country and I’m not getting any, we’ll scatter this country if things continues to be like this

MT:
Seriously, the bolded always comes up as a reason when it comes to a matter of going abroad.

What do you really mean when you say "the future of the children are secured". Who secured it? How? I don't seem to understand that argument.

This is just an illusion. Yes, they have infrastructure. However, it is just the children that take the opportunities that will excel. The place is filled with lot of distractions and the laws restrict the parents to take either preventive or corrective actions . Most of their children don't do well in life. Mostly in rehab, doing one silly course, roaming the streets while relying on handouts. Just a few of them make it big.

No country signs any guarantee securing the future of any children in the world. Success is solely a function of how a child is determined to make the best out of life, irrespective of geographical location.
