see now, you have also dropped an ignorant claim. Internet is more expensive in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, and I'm talking from direct experience of two of those countries and from friends in the other two countries. Not people using WiFi at work o, I'm talking about prepaid internt plans. They are far far more expensive. Shey you go argue that one too.

People can't pay for starlink here sef

Treadway:
see what I mean, does inverter translate to solar and must the setup be mega! Jeezuz! I don tire o...lol. ok guy, you can set up an inverter that will last you 3-4days to watch TV, power fan for you to sleep pretty at night,and lighting (with energy saving bulbs) to go about your activities all for under 200k even as things cost now. How much more before now and the many ppl that have set it up. I haven't even incorporated solar to mine cos the current setup is still okay for me. Why are you jumping straight to the millions millions setup Hehehe. O GA oo

Elijah if you want to buy a car now, will you only consider a 2022 range rover OR a car that you can afford that can get you from point a to b without issues. Cmon man! Well I have shared what i want to share with you, if you get it fine, if not it's all good. Cheers

No mind them ... Na to bad mouth everything about the country dem sabi

elijah101:
U know how much inverter cost … u go use Ac … use fridge … use other small small things u dey compare inverter to normal light … even if na solar sef … normal light still better pass am … 100

Light na free for abroad?

Munamoqel:
did you know him to reach that conclusion that your weekly income is =to this yearly or you just be silly like most Japarains do to feel fulfilled .

Lolzzzz

TWoods:
Just more word salad… a cursory read of your posts and it’s clear this is your MO with other folks like justwise and Ednut.

I make what you make a year in a few weeks… my 2 best friends from college in naija are in high ranking jobs at chevron and BASF US. See, I can use 3 of us as “living proof” that a life in America is far superior to the life you live in the hellhole called Nigeria.

Your reluctance to answer my questions speak volumes. You won the birth lottery and think you can lecture everyone… good luck when you get any health issue beyond malaria. If you had the brain you delude yourself into thinking you have, go back and ask why you pay income tax and yet have to provide your own basic utilities. You own an inverter/generator, you build your borehole, fire service is basically nonexistent, no healthcare… and the dunce thinks an inverter is all there is to life? take a seat young man.

If you can't make it in Nigeria doesn't mean another person can't...

Indians before colonisation was a very rich country. Uk met them extremely rich and plundered them to oblivion. They just bounced back and is taking over their initial spots in world politics. Pakistan and India were one before.

We wil talk about different nations in Nigeria before colonisation after the election and where they were with civilisation. Nigerians going to uk or abroad still have the average Nigerian mentality we display at hone which is show off.

Kenyans are taking over the sport after India in uk.
Indians are united, will circulate info that will benefit them but see a Nigerian showing what to do to excell, its very impossible. You rather hear from Indians or other African countries. Indians start grooming their children as soon as they are born. We are busy with owambe, feminism and back biting. How can you groom your kids when more than half of the Nigerian population are divorced because they want to be fake oyibos? Custody battle and busy trying to get the kids to hate the other parent. Others have moved on.

Lolzzzs...

Gerrard59:
While I agree, I find it extremely odd that till date, Nigerians are not a major entrepreneurial bloc in the UK. There are Indian and Pakistanis born and bred in the UK who are multi-millionaires and even billionaires but not a single Nigerian. Yet tomorrow, some newspapers will chant that nIgErIaNs aRe eNtErPrIsInG pEoPlE.

Lolzzzs...

sonnie10:
You that you are in Nigeria, why haven’t you opened a business that is similar to Amazon and make that money that is plentiful in Nigeria

What are you saying

Treadway:
the bolded are wildly inaccurate and exaggerated. Most working class folks use inverters now just as most homes now use boreholes for water. I have been using an inverter right from 2014 even as a bachelor with 120k salary. Till now I have 24hr electricity as do most of my contacts/friends etc. Having an inverter setup is pretty commonplace these days.

It is actually very easy to build in Nigeria thanks to lack of regulations. Not everyone will live in Lagos, as Nigeria does not start and end there. I got mine sorted before I got married at age 30. Buy land today and with enough funds on standby even with the horrendous exchange rate you will build a 3-bed tastefully with 15m total (land cost inclusive). Buying is even easy now, 6-7m and you'll still get a 3-bed in an okay area. It always easier and cheaper to buy houses as people only sell houses out of desperation. Ppl selling lands are not usually desperate to sell. Smart people are buying property for really cheap rates at the moment. Screw Bitcoin, buy houses!

PS: I never even got to 500k monthly salary till 2020 when I resigned to face business squarely. Sales reps in good companies/multinationals like Merck, BAT wey I know dey build block of 4-6flats, most of them still under 40. Artisans,meat sellers sef get their own house. Fancy or not, it is theirs. So scratch the only the wealthy can own house thought.

Okada rider dey my side wey don build two house... As person see am naso e go be for the person... Na the way I dey reason am be that ...

TWoods:
You essentially got lucky. Kudos to you, but how many Nigerians have such opportunities? Be honest with yourself.

Smiles... Got lucky.. Some are making it here abeg...

TWoods:
Shootings and gun violence happens in the US, but it does not affect the vast majority of the populace. I’ve lived in 4 states over 17 years and never had a problem with violence. In Nigeria, even your governors and pastors are not immune from violence, armed robbers and kidnappers.

Yes some Nigerians have access to 24 hours electricity, but they must be wealthy enough to be able to afford inverters and solar infrastructure. That amounts to <0.0001% of the population. By contrast 99% of the US population takes 24 hr electricity for granted with no need to invest in anything else.

The idea that “most Nigerians can easily build their houses” is false. <0.001% can truly afford it. Most of those who can afford it do so by stealing public funds. How many Nigerians can truly build homes on their legitimately earned income? The average American can own a home on an average pay check.

Just because you don japa no mean say people wey dey make no dey make am... This life make one just hustle hard... Okada man dey build house well for Nigeria ooo...

Thortp:
I wont say much
See the headlines in just one day in a country

What are you saying...

Primusinterpares:
My brother... 2023 is critical to Nigeria and Nigerians.
Let's get it right or continue in this path.
God help us all

Lolzzzs.... The masses and government are the same... Na same result e go end

Primusinterpares:
We also got good schools here in 9ja. Although they are expensive sha.
But we got good schools too

Good Education no dey cheap na

Primusinterpares:
Can you imagine. About 1m naira monthly. Bros in 9ja you be living like a king with that amount

My wife customer just moved back from SA ... They were complaining of bills...

Bksense:
Where will you see $15M ? LoL. Another delusion about abroad. There's no guarantee anyone can amass up to $500k even working for 45yrs

Lolzzzz

frozen70:
Since you don't have ambitions and dreams
Stay where you are

That money is much

Munamoqel:
there is no peace of mind when a simple hair cut is going for 20usd ,pako house 1500usd per month . Inside temperature of freezer .that you need heat to stay alive .that already a nightmare .

You dey vex ooo

Munamoqel:
also add the number of gun deaths in America within the months ?all die na die .but as slave worshipping negros they prefer to die in Mass shooting in America than been kidnapped in Nigeria . They phsycologically feel the mass shooting death is more prestigious!

You dey carry me go where I no know

ednut1:
english is not that hard. I said looks like its nearing collapse, I didn’t say is nearing collapse. You guys wish that we should be doing McDonald job’s abroad ba. But sorry to burst your burble na office job most of us dey do earning cool money. In uncertain times some will still make money, some will japa, its human nature.

My mum went for a burial in our state yesterday , a relative that had kidney failure, he was to travel to india next month but his dialysis was messed up by the hospital. Same yesterday there was news of kidnap on lagos ibadan i sharply had to call to be sure she no dey among. These are some of the issues wey dey make people japa o

Office job ... Hmmm ...

Bksense:
How is Nigeria nearing it's ruin to be honest? Gun violence and kidnapping happen in USA everyday. But you won't talk about that due to White worshipping..but you people wish bad things happen to Nigeria and her people everyday so you'll be able to justify your Japa and tell them "we warned you". Why can't you people Just accept the fact that not everyone want to come And live a lonely and boring life abroad Just because of 24hrs light which you pay for with your nose anyways , and McDonald Job of $1500 per month. The money you earn over there doesn't even find you that boost until you convert it to naira in your head just to validate yourself and say ",I'm earning more than a professor in Nigeria". This is a trend I see Among you people.

And you can call me broke because I live in Nigeria. Since you can't even know whether I'm more satisfied and contented with my life or not

Thanks

You dey vex ooo

Creamcrest:
Sharrap, Nigeria is not nearing collapse,it's still one of the best countries on earth.

Nigerians in Canada and America are even complaining of not being able to build wealth.

Shootings and gun violence also happens in America and Canada.

Some Nigerians here have 24hrs power using inverters and solar.

Most Nigerians can easily build their houses while you niggas in canada and US will be paying for mortgages for several years.

Tell me more, please

gaby:
I've stated it here on numerous occasions that by the second year of the next administration, a Dollar will exchange for close to #2,000. Maybe by then, you'd understand what's fuelling the japa syndrome.

The country had been murdered from the inception, the funeral arrangements is what's currently ongoing.

Obi go change am

LOVEGINO:
very correct bro. But what's your own contribution to make Nigeria great.

Lol

Idaytesj29:
The ministries and government parastatals that are very engaging, what do govt offer them in return? Alaye leave matter for Mathias. With the way Nigeria is running it's workers renumeration, do you think workers will be dedicated? Look at ASUU after so much time at home and an agreement reached, Govt still went ahead to pay half salaries, is that a serious govt? You forgot an ebonyi lecturer that was assassinated while doing Uber because of poor pay and strikes, how can you be a govt worker and still be looking for side hustle? Like not out of interest in the hustle but to survive and feed?

Pls be considerate when criticize govt workers.

Have you said anything about the working environment of these people? They use their money to buy chairs and tables to sit on, offices has no AC, no stationeries, no imprest to run office, official vehicles are dead and not replaced,. No staff buses.

Some are work without going on leave for years, they transfer them in-between states with no DTA, they send on course and they have to pay their own money to register and never get any course allowance, I can go on and on. Lecturers use their salaries to fund research, no research fund or grants, even when they are qualified.
Majority of them are frustrated by the system.
Don't be too fast to be critical, investigate as well.

Which government workers most of them no wan work ... Only to collect money... I know someone then collecting free money when the place block the mumu can just figure his life

jeromestarks:
Shut up!
A government is different from a business company. Your father should have taught you that.

Lolzzzs... Many dont know this

ValCon888:
The truth is that Twitter as a company is severely bloated. Too many employees doing too little.

Now that a businessman has bought Twitter, he wants to run it like a business.
Cut costs and increase profits.

Employees are a liability when they're not generating revenue to justify their expense.

And this is the same problem with Nigeria.
So many ministers, senators, house of reps, special advisers draining the country's resources.

Too many allowances that don't even make any sense.

Go to the ministries and government agencies to see the high level of inactivity going on.

They're simply pushing pencil, chewing gum, playing solitaire on computer.

We need the the CEO of a Fortune 500 Company to run this country. In less than five years Nigeria will have no debt.

It doesn't take rocket science to fix Nigeria. The people that don't want the country to be fixed prefer Nigeria as it is because they're profiting from the waste and corruption.

Naso e easy na... See mouth

FavyGod:
Heartless bastard's

Cuz them no pay for work not done.... I will say it again ... Nigeria no fit settle...

Brendaniel:
All those shouting No work No pay, ask yourself, has Buhari and his entire cabinet been working in the past 7 years, and if you say yes, pray that everyone you pay service to do work for you to render it like Buhari and his cabinets are rendering to Nigerians and still getting paid.

Buhari and his cabinets are actually owing Nigerians for doing damage - they have no justification to owe the lecturers

Sorry

How he got to the pool is what people are curious about. Why are the police not saying anything about surveillance footage of the house? Does it mean that Davido did not have functioning CCTV cameras in his house and he left his son alone with strangers? That's carelessness of the highest degree.

Wahala..

Angelfrost:
As I watched the service last night, I just knew front page won't miss this part!

Waiting for you dumb hungry bloggers to lie and twist the great man's words for views and likes!

Anyone still supporting this government and ruling party is dumber than sheep!

A Dollar is on a sure course to hitting #1000 before the year ends! Prices of goods are jumping to keep pace... Yet, it's okay to campaign for those who helped create these problems!

Many of una go suffer for this life and the one beyond! Just continue!!!

Nigerians destroying Nigeria
