ALTERNATEID:
But Adebanjo can endorse Peter Obi. Nonsense.

Igbo want presidency anyone not seeing this na him know... Na just the yoruba people dey make me laugh ...

ariesbull:
that is the mentality fewer economic activities... That is the stupidity.

I opened my firm about 4 yrs today I am thinking if expanding to ICT and cloud computing in Nigeria...

Nigeria is the biggest market in Africa... And that is huge opportunity for an intelligent man. A market that has over 200 million people exchanging hands is huge

Think

You dey para ooo

ariesbull:
I know many that came back and said they can't stand that rat race anymore... And they are doing fantastic here...

There is money here just that people aren't seeing it

Nigeria is untapped ooo

ariesbull:
shameless skunks and sloths are they go there to enjoy what their fellow humans built. They don't have dignity at all

That's why when they racial profile them I don't pity them... They will still do crime there

Lolzzzs...
Watch a movie about a war between French and England ... Nottingham to be precise... These guys don fight war ooo ... To enjoy what they are enjoying as a citizen today ... Nigerians na to dey find cool place everytime without thinking about their future and culture... Most of our musicians abroad then had to come back and blow here before getting recognized globally ...
My own be anyone that japa should enjoy his life as them dey see am... Same with those that decided to stay too... It's all choice sha... But for me ooo... I should only travel for business purpose ...

maasoap:
The storekeeper there should try to buy up his boss company there. That's the point.
I know a man in my area who went to UK, went there since 2008. With all the "big man" display he puts up here anytime he's around, he's still doing night guard/security in addition to his day job.
I was still in school when he left, today I have 11 family men working under me. And yet, I'm in Nigeria. Not that I didn't try to japa too (I actually won USA visa in 2013), thank God that the process failed. I would have been working day and night too till now.
My point is that we should open our eyes, opportunity is still around us right here

Am telling you

MT:
I was only telling you that no where is safe in the world. Despite our challenges, we are safer than some western nation. Do you know how parents are scared when their kids go to school in the states.

It is not right to rubbish your nation at every opportunity when every country has its challenge.

100

faceland:
If in your mind, Nigeria is safer, you should be happy, you are safe.

I think Nigeria is not safer. There are many ways to die here including guns.

People only die by gunshot in America

gbengaeed:
please note, the dollar is 450 it's the black market that is 800+ and who buys from black market? They are the people who can't explain why they want dollars and most people usually sell to aboki rather than selling to bank at official rate. mean why, aboki is ready buy from you and sell to those who can't buy through bank at whatever rate he likes. Nigerians are the biggest enemy of Nigeria. It's more of the people and less of the policy.

God bless you ... Most people ain't really different from our leaders

sihamey:
The guy ask simply questions how can you help him migrate abroad and all you could tell him is to learn skill set and change job to save money and relocate for how many years he will achieve that
Most Nigerian Japa syndrome don’t have skill or money but borrow POF to Japa. They guy ask you for help because he sees you promoting Japa and you can’t assist him.
You are abroad are yet to tell us the reality on ground

Lolzzzz

acorntree:
That situation is random with the probability of it happening very low because they have a proactive government. In Nigeria the probability of kidnapping his professor dad is very high. If the Dad can pass through ijebu ode-ibadan road or lagos-ibadan road in his Toyota Camry by 8pm to 5am successful, even to fix a flat tyre he has Gods protection over him

Alaiye stop lieing joor... If you in Nigeria why dem never kidnap u.. And if you are not then you saying what you dont know

henrimoto:
.. Plus Effective, better health system & Effective system of governance. Effective rule of law.

Black lives matter... Person wey don die know if their is effective rule of law

gassbee:
wat if d son gets gunned down by those thugs thru gun violence

You dey mind am... Just giving excuses... Some are in Nigeria and they lived long while some that moved died in the other side they travelled ... Vice versa... People who stayed back or move are wealthy and also poor

acorntree:
But is his father at peace as he? The father can be kidnapping at any moment with no one to rescue him. Earning big salary in Nigeria is not the main thing now. Nigerians living above average life now are the main target of kidnapping, robbery etc. No sanity again. Even if you buy your security by employing personal guide, your life is still not safe

No place is safe abeg

acorntree:
It really worth it if you want to live a life of sanity. Nigeria is no longer habitable for normal, honest and hardworking individual. Those who claimed you can easily make it and build a house are mostly those who have been benefitting from the corrupt system. Many Nigerians now are into fraud, scamming and all sort of illegal things, so such kind of people don't see any sense in leaving the country. Please if you're below 40 and have the means to leave legally please do now before it will be too late. We that are over 40 now are regretting not taking those decisions then. To live comfortable in Nigeria is a huge task now, no where is safe, security is at lowest ebb now, health care is nothing to write about, standard of education is low, anything investment now is scam. Youth and those below 40 especially graduates in STEM field, my advice for you is to plan your life, so that you won't be entrapped like us who believe so much in this country only to be disappointed. If not for age and cost of leaving and settling in foreign land, I won't be in Nigeria. My children are grown up now

People making money are benefiting... Just stop abeg...

Vietnaminfo:
Before traveling abroad, get a skill. You must be ready to work your ass off for your money. There is no free money on the street or on the tree. Forget about what people tell you. When you finally leave, you will have cause to have a rethink. Don't fall from frying pan into fire. Never you go to any country with visiting visa with the hope of hustling or staying back. If you are selling your property to come abroad as a student and think of making it, that is the joke of the year. Your 20 hours a week job, the salary will only be enough to pay house rent, tax, bus and train ticket and feed. If is work visa, I will tell you to travel but be rest assured that you must work for your money. A bird at hand worth more than 9 in the Bush. Many people abroad are waiting for Peter Obi to win election next year to start relocating back to Nigeria. Use your tongue and count your teeth.

Lolzzzz

koning:
Correct analysis, my guy. A chilled Gulder for you.

Someone once described living in the West as this: IT GIVES AN ILLUSION OF WEALTH TO CONCEAL POVERTY.
A very accurate description for many Africans in Europe, USA and Canada.

That statement is powerful

yahoodetector:
Most of the idióts who japaed from Nigeria from 2017 till date voted for this present administration and ran away.

May you all meet your Waterloo wherever you are if you are among them.

Na your money them use travel?
Wetin you talk no make sense... Why you too no travel... Them hold you

OdefaGirl:
You can't deny you don't see what happens here especially on Nairaland..... This is racism at it's highest level..... The thought that someone you are supposed to regard as brother would turn to tag you all sorts of name and spit the hate on your face is worse than receiving that from a stranger.

You sef join them do am

Lekan239:
wen kasala start to burst, na still Nigeria govt go still carry una come back with free plane

Sigh

cooooooks:
You are evil. May you reap what is happening. May you and your family suffer the realities of living in Nigeria.

Please say Amen.

Carry your frustration go front abeg... People no dey die abroad ni

Blitzerz:
Thats if herdsmen or bandits dont harvest you and the 15 million......

Na lie abeg... We get farm for ogun state here nothing do us ... Stop leing to people ... E get where herdsmen dey ... And even dem don dey reduce their killings sef unlike before

OdefaGirl:
What's the essence of your big man here if a storekeeper there can buy up your company here....
Do what suits you and let others live their fulfilled lives.
That someone Japa doesn't mean they can't be running big investments here and coming back home and traveling back again.

If you left your father's house for a better life anywhere in Nigeria, same thing for someone who left Nigeria to a country of their choice.

Some folks are here shouting racism, whereas tribalism is the order of the day in Nigeria.

Hypocrites!!!

Because you no make am in Nigeria mean say another person won't bah

ComradeShegs:
My bros, japa and thank me later. U are not only japaing because of your financial freedom but going to where things work and your life and property is protected.

You if invest or start up a business for Nigeria with that 20M, tomorrow lack of adequate security go flush am..

Stop leing abeg

CuriousX:
Brilliant submission. You hit the nail on the head. Everything is not about money. Peace of kind and a sense of security tops it for people like me and also very important is responsive and functional health care system.

One can be rich and die in a Nigeria n hospital, if there is an emergency because of lack of basic things like oxygen.

So rich people dont die in America hospital... Stop it na

ariesbull:
we have been there... Dude when you start paying folks hourly come let's talk... I dolt talk to hourly earning folks...

You dey vex ooo

TempleHouse:
YES, I CAN SLEEP WITH MY TWO EYES CLOSED IN IBADAN AT AKALA ESTATE ANYTIME

NO SHAKING !

I AM DOING WELL THAN MY COLLEAGUES WHO LEFT FEW YEARS AGO AND I PITY
SOME WHEN I WENT ON HOLIDAY IN UK

OVER 90% OF THE STUDENT'S WORKS IN CARE HOMES EVEN MY FORMER SENIOR COLLEAGUES IN THE BANK!

I CAN ALSO AFFORD MY KIDS TO TRAVEL ABROAD LATER IN THE FUTURE IF THEY CHOOSE TO.

WE CANNOT ALL RUSH OUT BECAUSE ALL IS NOT WELL.

ENJOY YOUR UK PROMO AND TO SELL YOUR HARD-EARNED PROPERTY TO BEGIN ANOTHER SLAVE TRADE IS WHAT BAFFLED ME

PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THAT WE CANNOT ALL BE PROSPEROUS MOVING ABROAD

WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF LIFE IF YOU CANNOT DO SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY

ITS YOUR CHOICE !!!

Hmmm

ariesbull:
Majority of these guys are bleeped in the brain... Inferiority complex dey worry them....

They should be ashamed that they are enjoying what others build on USA and Europe only to mess it up with their criminal tendencies

100.... If you know what this people had gone through to make their country what it is today ... Kudos to their ancestors... Most Nigerians don't like building

Mummyimbecile:
bro, our leaders no wan fix the country, so we gats JAPA...i don't for a second regret leaving the country!

Where you dey now some people made the sacrifices to make it what it is today...

ariesbull:
no be humans like you create am black man

Na person leave canada come start flutter wave here

Satazaa:
good bro, and added to that is that you put up with punishing tax payment that makes nonsense of your pay and you are just making enough to make ends meet, let me tell you all those guys that send money to naija are either into fraud or if you work legitimately you have to starve yourself to be able to send money home, how many people in naija do you see doing odd jobs in three places just to survive, haba, if you have capital stay in naija, make money buy your comfort, use solar, use strong SUV, get nannies, dig your borehole etc I have seen countless guys travel and come back to naija only to meet thier old friends living in thier homes with other properties as rent, and they are like WOW UNBELIEVABLE

This thing even happens to I dey lagos people sef

Munamoqel:
how you want rest when hair cut na 20 USD baby care na 500 USD , insurance na 200 USD to drive rent na 1500 USD . mortgage na 2k for 25 years .child support ,divorce litigation .IHS , park fee , University loans .the bese na endless ! But oyinbo don inherit houses from Papa so no morgagate or rent payment .that already 2k per month off .

They don't inherit house?

Intellectuall01:
Don't mind them. Na who nor get family members abroad na such person them dey deceive. I have 7 siblings abroad. Na only two get their own houses when them buy. The rest are still paying rent.

Though they all have good jobs but bills dey collect almost everything and they are complaining of too much workload. They wish they can accumulate wealth and retire the 9 to 5 type of life.

A month ago, a lady slept in the UK and didn't wake up. She died due to stress from work. If one can make money in Nigeria, life sweet for here pass abroad abeg.

As for me, I cannot relocate abroad, na only visit I dey visit.

Hmmm
