Procashtips:
80%?

How did you arrive at this?

I'm only using your own logic

You said people can decide not to drive during winter, then I also said people can decide not to drive on pothole infested roads too.

Does it mean you also don't drive for making such statement?

What's the reason for this discussion?

Death by road happens everywhere in the world, the difference is in numbers.

IbeOkehie:
There's homeless people everywhere. There's middle class comfort everywhere. Good and bad healthcare happens everywhere.

For the person citing startup millionaires, that happens everywhere too.

There's racism everywhere. There's family breakdown everywhere. There's crime everywhere Unemployment happens everywhere.

The issue, the BASIC ISSUE, is preponderance and PROBABILITY. Anyone who can't grasp the logic is uneducated in the real sense of it.

Everyone knows that there's a higher probability of the negatives in Nigeria than in any Anglo-Western nation. That's why migration is a hot topic on Nairaland and those who can't migrate are consumed with rage and jealousy.
DO we have racism in Ghana and Nigeria?

If that one doesn't make sense, go and search for Jakpa topics on Nairaland as far back as 2003 or 2007. Find out for yourself the if Nigeria is better or worse since then. My people say if no one gives you advice, advise yourself.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

Procashtips:
But potholes aren't on all roads too na?

You can also decide not to ply the roads with potholes if you can stay home during snow.

Procashtips:
Not oblivion to these things, just saying death by accident is everywhere.

Our own hotholes is their own slippery roads caused by snow. Snow on the road kills alot too

Overspeeding kills alot of people there too caused by good roads lol.

Cmeo:
We should let the government institutions do their job wether witch-hunting or not. Any party that is not satisfied can approach the court of law to prove being witch-hunt or breach of right.

Thank you "Dropped mic"

All i see is greed on the side of the property owner and developer. How can you construct a 4-storey building in such a tight space with no ample surrounding space? In retrospect, politics of bitterness is the reason why politicians don't make/keep majority of investments in their home state and the country at large. Thereby depriving locals the job/business opportunities that will be created from such investments.

And whether you like it or not, the political class are part of the richest class of the society; even before they ventured into politics. You can never be a notable figure in politics without your own money or the sponsorship of a Godfather/politician with money.

Smartguyboy:
No gun violence

Procashtips:
People die through what you listed overthere too.

Smartguyboy:
Big lie
If it is true than 50% would have been dead by illness by now.

Smartguyboy:
You still can’t compare the killings in USA to Nigeria
Some state even have more killings and police brutality than Nigeria as a country

planetx:
I can see that you are a bloody illiterate, because someone get the peanuts that government pays them in the form of unemployment benefits and section 8 and council housing for the poorest of the poor that means they are not broke or struggling. You are a big dummy and a ignoramus. Government gives you free houses indeed, why don't you go there and get your own free house and free food and free everything that another illiterate like yourself told you about.

IamKizzbrown10:
WHAT KIND OF TRADE WHEN I DON'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO GO OUT

planetx:
Nonsense you obviously have no clue typing this rubbish, life can be hard anywhere and NO they are not lying. You must be out of your mind saying nobody is broke or struggling abroad.

Smartguyboy:
It’s so annoying when people think the only reason to japa is good road and security. Nowhere is safe dear they are more killing in USA than anywhere in the world .

TheFacelessMan:
Next time you use your brains for better things than begging.

What my dog eats, your father dreams of.

I have the antidote for your stupidity.

TheFacelessMan:
That is for the people YOU associate with.

That's your f*cking life that doesn't interest me in the slightest.

Generalizing and roping those in my own circles is what I balked at. What those I know are facing is their own experience.

You are not the prime minister of UK to tell me or them different.

IamKizzbrown10:
my brother the actual pay is 40k oo but the company and the agent takes thier share every months so i only work to feed my myself at the end of the new month i will not any saving

it crazy

i need a well paying job that can come with feeding and accomodation

HardMirror:
I won't say that. Now that I earn this much it does not look like much, but I have to remind myself that there are people living well with 1/4 what I earn.
It is always good to just invest and grow your own business if you want to be rich.
I am sure by next year or 2 years time 100m won't mean shit to me. For now I will just appreciate the opportunity I have.

rickleye:
Simple answer is yes.
What you want to do when you move abroad is get a property.
So rent for first one year to get a bearing of where you want to live.
After that then look for a property to buy be in a duplex. Stay upstairs and rent the lower duplex .
So for example.
I know someone who bought a 400,000 house and placed a 10% down payment . So technically he was paying mortgage on $360,000 for 25 years at 2.5% interest. So about $1600/month.
The tenant was paying $800 so he contributed the balance.
He did a $500 contribution 2ce a year which went directly to principal.
In about 5 years the value of the house increased ( appreciated ) to 470k . The amount owed lowered to $350k .
Now technically he can only access 80% of 470k which leaves less mortgage with $25k in another 5 years - the property value will increase and payments lowered etc.

I will find an alternative .It is too much but kids who attend such tuition end up going to the best universities that is why there is a waiting list.

I am also considering boarding schools in Nigeria because kids are not as ambitious.
In Nigeria you see black doctors, lawyers, engineer and they are good role models. In the western world successful black people are sport stars or rappers. The TV are full of negative images of black people. It is not a very nice place and it become worst lately as the Japa people are now here working day and night, having no time for their children. Some of them are joining gangs.

There is no discipline and that is a big problem. I had a naija friend who was a teacher and was telling me the naija kids are the worst because they are now able to do the things they can't do in Nigeria.

43Ronin:
do the maths bro, 1 not-so-technical job will pay at least 90-100k (e.g scrum master). that 100k will cater for all your expenses even with dependants. The second job of 100k is purely savings. Nigerians in IT abroad are making money but keeping quiet especially with the ways niggers talk anyhow on socials. men are making funds bro.

HardMirror:
yeah.

HardMirror:
I live in Nigeria, work online and earn about same as you. If I travel out it would only be for my children to live in a society where human life is valued not for money

chiself:
Because they work very hard and if they don't take the occasional vacation they will go mad!
They do have a budget and you are not part of their budget.

chiself:
I received this email regarding tuition for my children:

We are currently fully booked but will have space in January. Our fees are £55 per hour. If you'd like to be added to the waiting list, please let me know

So English, Maths and is £165 per week. £660 per month per child!

I am sure it doesn't cost this much in Nigeria, even if it is a third of the above quote. Of course I can't afford the above but I want tuition for my kids because school is not enough and I want the best for my children.

IamKizzbrown10:
Someone like me earning 27k per months

ogbonti:
you are not making sense at all - I am sorry to say- IF indeed you are making 7 figures remotely working in Nigeria - why d you wan to Japa?

What exactly are you escaping from ? you think abroad is bed of roses ? you better seat your butt down and keep buying lands and

properties from those fo ols selling their lands and properties to travel to the world of unknown (japa) only to realize they have been sold

a dream. While you are planning to japa, an army of Chinese and Lebanese youths are moving into your country to take over

WHEN you and those who "blindly" japa - return in 10- 20 years from now, you will hardly recognize your country as it will be

RECOLONIZED by new "economic" - IMPERIALISTs - whom you japa-ed and left the country for. INSTEAD of you to make money in

Nigeria, train other youths too to make money remotely in Nigeria - and travel overseas for vacations and live the best life ever in the

Land of your birth - you are joining those heading for "modern slavery and racist subjugation" all in the name of "I live abroad" - hmmm

I have lived almost 30 years in America - IF I am in your position right now 30 years ago, with what you earn, and knowing what I know

today about the western world 30 years ago, I will not japa... God sees my heart I am speaking the truth, and not to deceive you...


The grass they say - is always greener on the other side - ---- who no go, no know -- IT IS WELL

TheFacelessMan:
Talk about yourself. Don't generalize onto others.

"fooling" doesn't apply to me. I don't beg like you.

Simply gave my experience of those doing really well in the US.

MuMuOnBail:
Na wa oooo



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
