alvan06:
no i live abroad myself,I pay 650€ monthly for 2 bedroom apartment and my condominium is 170€ although my light and gas is bill come every two months which is around €320 or more depending on the usage, all am saying is that if in Nigeria we have electricity and security bros I’ll comfortable prefer staying in Nigeria with less than 400k monthly.

So you came straight from Nigeria and rented a 2 bedroom apartment, right??
Answer me nah cos una sabi talk well well

Thanks for the information about the homeless people in the West.

So, most or all are Junkies, Mental Cases and what have you. It is Ok

And Films and Music are portrayals of a Society. They more often than not potray Society and it's way.

It is true I have not lived abroad before but I am damn sure that not all homeless people are Junkies and mental cases.

I have been oppourtuned to live in Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Kaduna. The homeless in these major cities are "migrants" workers in these City searching for a better lives. It will amaze you that their numbers dropped significantly when you move in to the hinterlands of Nigeria.

It is also true that our Government never provide Social Housing for anyone but one thing you should know is that these Social assiatnce put in place in the Western world did not arrive in a day. It takes time and surely Africa nay Nigeria will get their someday.

I still repeat, if you have the means to leave, please do so by all means andif you want to stay, please do.

I usually don't listen to these pontifications from people who have made a lot of money either abriad or in Nigeria telling people not to leave.

If you look at the Sister Ajayi now, she probably have at least 4-5 houses in America, her kids in America and spend more time in America than Nigeria yet they will tell you not to go to the same America

Ofcos all the well to do and enlightened people in Nigeria have their kids schooling abroad or living there. And waht I told you of homeless people is true, I have lived in England 22 years and aint playing!

alvan06:
let say you earn €1600 monthly and you pay 400 to 600€ rent a month then gas, water ,condominium will surely take up to €300 think of feeding fuel ⛽️ or tickets to work before you feed them family and friends who now thinks that you live in heaven will be frowning with that you’re not sending something o,bros the only difference between Nigeria and abroad is security,electricity and maybe freedom.

Your assumption is flawed, and you are not close to anyone abroad ,let me tell you those who live in that bracket you mentioned paying such rent do not pay any utility bills its all-inclusive as they rent rooms in a shared accommodation, the next thing they pay for is t fare to work and feeding.

Eriokanmi:
Congrats brother and sorry for the ugly experience. Most likely, you left for the States before i did . I left in 2004 for schooling in upstate NY. I used to visit Dallas in TX back then where I had a friend. There's also a course mate who got employed in TX correctional centre the one at Nazareth. He later left cos of distance. I came back after my studies though i worked for a short while. It was while on the job I saw the opportunity and we're doing pretty fine in Nigeria today.

I'm really not against the japa time but my question is, is it worth it and on what purpose? And if you eventually japa, look for opportunities and bring it home. Market over there is saturated while Nigeria is a virgin land of loaded opportunities

All the best.

Thats another gains when you Japa, Ideas and skills, then you hustle start up money return invest and smile.people go thin say nah Juju

You are very stupid.

How will urchins react to the blunders that will be coming from the agbado munchers presidential candidate

Honestly, urchins are shameless bunch of clowns .

We don die B dat, Local debate E fear no attend you want him to go internationla, nah blahh blaah glu blahh E go talk

Lukuluku69:
Bros, first of, we could have a Convo without such words like "embarrass yourself" It is not the way of Civility.

And talking about homeless people, if my memory serves me correct, I remember a Phil Collins song in my University days. The song " Paradise" was done to point attention to homeless people in New York and America I think.

I also watched Eddy Murphy's Coming to America and I saw two homeless guys too.

What am I trying to say? There are homeless people everywhere. You have them in Lagos New York, London, Paris and every major City of the World

That said, like I said earlier, if you have the means, Leave and if you want to stay, please by all means stay.

I will still say this, yah problem is hear say and not do your proper research B4 just typing. If you ever lived abroad B4 you will know that the Homeless people are not normal people, they are sick or have drug dependency issues. Government in the west provided social housing free of charge for those who cant work. In General, the Homeless persons we talk about in the west are not those that go to work and cnt afford a house rather Unwell people who have lost the ability to actually live in a house. This was what I meant by people and persons embarrassing themselves, come on guys I'm sure you are brilliant enough to d a weee bit of research! and not assuming. Not everything you see on Movies is real

sweetTai:
Some of them has a good point but it’s the one that generalizes that pisses me off. I always advise people. Don’t go to ANY country without proper documentations.

Well true, I stopped advising anyone on where to go, Nigeria is though, very challenging if you are on the ground floor. Imagine me at a mall going shopping with kids and at the counter pay N200K in PH for just everyday wkend, and a next man is earning N100k for a month, see how life no balance, anyone want to japa by all means japa

Eriokanmi:
We're doing well in my company. I'm an employer too and i put food at the table of my staff. I schooled , worked for a short while and came back home with the opportunity which had brought me into a limelight today. All thanks to God Almighty. My profession had taken me to DAAR Hall in DC where Barak Obama was the host

My uncle who encouraged me to toe his path is a multi billionaire today. Google Xantrex Engineering .he's the sole distributor for West Africa. He left America after seeing the opportunity and came back home with it. Only a few banks and online-based companies in West Africa aren't enjoying his service. He saw the opportunity on his way back home one day when returning from Walmart where he was working as a storekeeper and grabbed it

Well loads of people do not know this, all they see abroad is the money side not the opportunity side

timesuploaded:
500k too big. If you have 30knaira presently in your pocket you are richer than 99.9% of Americans. Americans are debt zombies.

Kia, there is hungry in the land,N30k wey men dey take drink beer

sweetTai:
This is nonsensical generalization. I agree, a couple should not go to America if you are without proper documentation. I will sincerely use my case as an example. I had a girlfriend in Nigeria in the 90s before I came to America. We stayed in touch and eventually began planning marriage. Unfortunately for me I did not know that this I had been dating since the age of 19 has turned into nympho. I ignored all warnings from family and friends until God saved me. She had received her immigrant Visa and I went home to put the finishing touches to her joining me in the USA. One night, I was using her phone and I became nosey. One one text message to her doctor was “Please, I need some medicine because my boyfriend’s condom bust when we were having sex”. And this happened 2 weeks before I arrived in Nigeria. I was devastated beyond words. I swallowed my pride and gently came back to the USA alone. This happened in October 2007. By June 2008, I heard she’d married one of her banker colleagues. But has bigger plans for me. I was introduced to another young lady from the same city as my ex girlfriend and all of our families knew each other. I married this girl in 2010 and today, we have 2 boys and a girl in Houston, Texas and our marriage is stronger today than when we began. My ex divorced in 2012. Where ever you found yourself in life be sincere, take advantage of opportunities and make sure you have the right documentations.

Well said and well done, these guys just dnt know. In life there is always a struggle 9ja or abroad, but I rother struggle abroad than struggle in 9ja

Lukuluku69:
At least the " Averagely poor Lagos guy" will have accomodations for at least a year while the Abroad guy can be thrown out after a month.

My take is, if you want to leave and have the means, please leave.

If you want to stay, please stay.

If you leave or decide to stay, na the same life we dey leave. One is just a little bit easier on the eye.

Why do you lot come online and embarrass yourselves, talking outta where the sun don't shine. Lagos has loads living under bridge, in the west if you try am nah cold go finish you, just so you know, I have never met any Nigerian homeless. There is always somewhere to stay E bad as E bad. The only place I saw something like that was France and Italy.

adedayoa2:
nawa o, I know 3 women that went there before their husbands, they worked and invited husbands over.

True this, I have seen loads

Nhemzie17:
I wonder why a Sane person who has up to a million or more in his/her account would spend everything to travel to another country with a lot of uncertainties. Why not stay back and invest that money and get established.
Don't be deceived by the fake life of those abroad, they are suffering and smiling.

You must be a kid or just have not seen Money, N1 million, to do what? Some people think big some think mall while some think average and some do not think at all. Abroad ie the west does not give you just money, it secures the future of you incoming generation, You might not make it Mega but your kids will grow up in a better place. Respected anywhere they flash their passport.

StagethemTVee:
I know of a newly married couple with a baby who decided the wife should leave first and she wrote the man it was over after getting there. He is yet to get over it.

Nah God save the man imagine if she was living with him in Nigeria

chris51:
It's usually for a short period of time when you are in another country.

You can't use Nigerian international licence in the UK because they drive on the left

Yes U can! But together with a provisional driving licence,

MarketDispatch:
Federal Gov of Nig issues International driving licence. Which I have used severally in the past. So is Lagos taking over the powers of Fed Gov to issue such licenses.

Play on words...permit, licence

ahah this is no Licence but permit on car, however people are too quick to conclude, to me this is useless and another scam loading

formular2002:
Yes, you can use it to drive outside the country. some persons are already using it. Its not new in Nigeria

you need to re-read what was written, this is not a licence but a car permit for cars not drivers

inoki247:
I fit use the International permit drive for outside the country


International passport we neva see am distribute we jump go International Drivers License....


anyway Issa welcome development....

This is not what you are thinking

legionISproteus:
Anybody here posting against the will of fellow Nigerians to travel is POVERTY-STRICKEN, JEALOUS and most importantly A BASTAAARD

GBAM or Deported!

benqo01:
Not at all we have Nigerians exceeding in other non English speaking countries,that is not an issue

But with that huge investment, I will say stick to English speaking countries, no time to do try your luck

Godsfavorite101:
Dear all, as you respond to my question just know that God almighty will shine his light and Favour on your family before this year runs out.

I was introduced to an agent that process Uk care giver visa package for me and my wife, ( 4 years Tier 2 visa, wife is main applicant ) 20,400 gbp salary per year and total package is 15.5m non negotiable and he gave 100% assurance. My question is it worth it? What is life in the Uk like? I can afford this money by selling my 2 cars and all my life savings, if you’re in my shoe would you make the move?

Sorry if I sound dumb but this visa thing don almost turn me to mad man.

Travel, if not for anything you have given your kids a better life, I am sure that in its own is wealth.

skentelelady:
How many % in Nigerian labour MARKET earn what your boss was earning? What was the guarantee that he would be in that position for another 5 years before he resigned?
As long as hes not complaining to anyone, people should learn to mind their business. He is happy doing 2 jobs to raise his family. He knew why he sold some of his properties and he will get better ones back.

His kids will go to a far better universities and he wont spend millions on them unlike if he was in Nigetia and decided to send them to s foreign universities where he would have paid more.

His plan was based on the future not the present

Well said

gypsey:
Naaa! I am only joking. One of my kids lives with her mother in Miami, i go visits sometimes there. But i don't like America, i couldn't live there, don't want to get shot, you know?

Me neither, I don't think I can live in yankee! all my holiday nah to go 9ja go eat Ram suya, I nor fit shout.

gypsey:
Jeeeeeeeeeezz!! What da....? If this is true i may consider coming to drive in the US,

So U wan japa frm Japa land, bross dont be greedy hustle the ground.leave the freshers to go there!

gypsey:
Yes, if she carries on with the saving lifestyle she will save N100M, i spend alot of money on holidays, petrol, wine, whiskey, shoes, trainers, child supports and all other life's comfortabilities, so i could not live like her, i just did some renovations on my house, so i am unable to save that kinda money, i am not looking to relocate to Nigeria, if anything i might go live in the Bahamas.

Bro this nah for young person wey nor get xpenses and just want to save and go bck 9ja,Im sure when family comes it will all change, when I was much younger in the UK I could save, now I am older to save meant locate family back 9ja and hustle solo and I swear down E dey sweet me!

planetx:
Wages are low in the UK, truck drivers in the US makes 6 figures within a couple of years driving.

I think the trucking Industry in the US is much bigger than the UK, we cant compare with the US much bigger surface to drive on ahaha the Eu use more freight trains.

quentin06:
Balanced for who? Definitely not migrants, I don't see a country with high crime rate as balanced.
A Nigerian actress was recently mugged her phone stolen, not what you expect from a balanced civilized country.

You read that crap she wrote to drive traffic to her page and you swallowed it hook line and sinker U 4 real?
Look there is crime everywhere, I aint going to deny that but Bross that's not what we are talking about today. I repeat it is balanced for Migrant if you are ready to get down and dirty, No free money here and you cannot afford to be lazy. Work hard earn hard.

gypsey:
Absolutely correct! £2000 is a brilliant wages to take home a month

I know a girl who quit her Job in ABJ, she came here for masters and after masters got sponsorship by a care home,, she neeeds do 38 hours a week for her sponsors the rest she works for other agencies, she makes average of £3k take home monthly.She lives in a £450 per month room, She saves all of her money cos she says she wants to go back to ABJ in 5 years and Open up a massive Biz, she tells me some months she saves £2000, equivalent to N1.9M monthly, in 10 months that N19m so yearly 20M she dey target N100M and she is 24 years Old.She is very positive and works really hard. On top that she will have the Blu P by then!Una see how life no balance for 9ja??

quentin06:
You forgot to match the living expenses, 30k pounds a year in the UK is poor wages.

That's what you guys don't consider the expenses associated with the income. The person earning that can't even save up to 3000 pounds in a year.

Its not a poor wage, it depends on what level of life you want to live. The Uk society is balance one can plan 5 years ahead. Men know how to live right, save money and plan well without local witch interference. £30K wage means you are earning Minimum of £2K take home. I am giving you true life experience not hear say or dem say!.U need to have a plan B4 you come and stick to it
