Yes. You are buying citizenship without living in the country. FlashDboy: Thanks for the reply.
Please , let me get it straight, the donation to the government is free, as in, no return profit monthly or quarterly to the investor? |
Travel › Re: Wealthy Nigerians Are Buying Up Passports For Cash From Caribbean Nations by Freedomfsl: 8:34am On Aug 29, 2020 |
Yes. That is the whole idea. You can always travel on a whim without worrying about visa rejection. You are investing as a donation to the government of these countries. There is the option of buying property as an investment too, but I think this option is better if you plan living there. If you are a freelancer or can work from anywhere in the world, you can live in Europe for 1 year ( You can live visa free in Germany, Spain,Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands etc. for 3 months each) Worth the investment. FlashDboy: Wow, this quite interesting. Knowledge is power aswear.
So, one can be in Nigeria, process every every?
The money ur investing, is it dash or u will be getting paid some profit even when ur not physically there?
Abeg, no vex for my many questions.
Thanks. |

Everything you said is true. Nigerian passport is worthless and for the same price of an overpriced 4 bedroom semi detached duplex in Lekki,you will get yourself a better passport. godforus: Though not a cheap money, but realistically affordable. Many houses in Lagos cost that much, while Lagos properties will only accrue more value, investing in this passport opens more gates for you, and to an extension your children because a sole Nigerian passport is risky and not advised. |

Exactly! Getting another passport is a better investment. There will always be new models of these overpriced cars people buy to impress and opress. Newboss: Not true. They need a multiple passports for visa free travels. It's just under $200k. What some Nigerians spend in buying and bringing a new car into Nigeria.
Every Nigerian needs another passport. Nigerian passport is useless. |

$1million no be small money. I'll prefer to get from Antigua and Barbuda for $100k or Grenada for $150k. Getting US Visa from these countries won't be hard. Your parent and kids can benefit from it too. My friend has a US multi - entry visa on his passport. He can travel anytime without queueing and begging for a visa here in Naija. J111333: Not news, even the so called almighty US do it too. Just prove to them that you will invest reasonable amount in the States and receive Permanent resident card asap, forget Trump's visa ban.  |

Travel › Re: Is Life Really Better Abroad? by Freedomfsl: 10:15am On Jul 25, 2020 |
MrBean: There is no right or wrong answer to this question. Its down to the individual. However the fact remains that most of the contributions to this thread has been directed toward the middle class which is not a good representation of majority of nigeria but may be in the case of the US.
My point is the percentage of nigerians that are suffering is insane. I dare to say 65% Kids hawking on the street countless undocumented murders, rapes, kidnappings, Jobless graduates etc
I will be a doctor here in the US in few months and I will say even back at home in Nigeria I was priviledeged to be from a middle class family and could always afford to come here on holidays but it broke my heart all those years seeing the contrast between the standards of living.
Anytime I go to Nigeria on holidays. I try to have fun and I also see all my friends that are doing well in business and their respective careers but the fact still remains that majority of nigerians endure suffering that many US citizens see in movies or on CNN
The system is in shambles. Let me ask the comfortable nigerians some questions:
1. How do you feel driving in your vehicles and seeing a boy your sons age trying to sell to you under the scorching sun? Just another day in lagos eh? your hearts are hardenend so much so that its now a norm.
2. have you been to the public hospitals and check out the infrastructure? sorry i forgot you use private clinics. Most nigerians cannot even afford to pay registration fee for the hospitals. some cannot even afford transportation to the hospital and they die.
3. Do you pay your regular toll to the police officers at every checkpoint? (bribe)
4. What is the average time for picking up a body killed trying to cross the road? My last visit to lagos I saw two bodies in the last stages of total decomposition on public streets and kids see these sights too.
5. Have you experienced the traffic menace constituted by the "yellow devils" that leads to endless hours on the roads. You are probably used to it.
These are the few i observed in my breif visit in 2005.
The problem is the system is broken and a few Nigerians getting ahead doesnt take away the problem. I personally don't do well seeing the number of women and children suffering. The number of comfortable nigerians if negligible when compared to the nigerians suffering.
This is not about how much money you make but dignity and decency for human life. This is widely accessible in the US and scarcely seen in nigeria. Inconclusion my answer to the question is Life is better here a million times over judging by these parameters.
Like someone on this thread rigthfully said: "A country that pays a policeman 7000naira ($60) a month and gives him a gun is set for anarchy'

Imagine that A child born when this thread was created is in SS 2 or 3 we are still on the same argument in 2020. I know some hopefuls will come back in 14 years to tell us Nigeria will be better. Better when  If you can leave, please do now. Don't wait till you hit 40 to realize that this country has nothing for you. The leaders don't care about you and they are not pretending to. This comment made in 2009 Now.......we are half way in 2020 and this argument is still goes on everyday. After 14 years.....no progress. Any hope for this country? My conclusion......Nigeria is a hopeless situation.[/quote] |
