You do know six figures is a million naira or so, right?

I like the online teaching and private practice part. And the platform part tells me you're in a school where the rich bring their kids.

Teaching isn't the best job in Nigeria, but I like it when I see teachers who have foresight.

Ouchbabe:
Shameless people everywhere.
You rip her open at age 13.
You will still come to a forum like Nairaland to be shouting "if your wife is not a virgin.......bla bla bla.

May that useless man rot in jail.

Kudos to the DJ

What potopoto region.
If only you knew. Some Igbos are no longer just building homes—they are creating legacies. Villages within villages. Boulevards within boulevards. Cottages within cottages, crafted not just for the present but for generations yet unborn. I attended two housewarming events recently, and it hit me like a hammer: 2025 Christmas will be an entirely different spectacle.

My grandfather created a small boulevard for himself and sons and grandsons. I thought we had arrived until I saw a family that created a village within their village for their sons and grandsons. The wealth fueling this transformation isn’t just trickling in from Lagos—it’s pouring in from every corner of the globe. The diaspora is speaking with brick and mortar, with sprawling estates and architectural marvels that are rewriting the meaning of homecoming. This isn’t just a cultural renaissance; it’s a bold declaration that the Igbo are no longer competing with Nigeria—they’re competing with the world.

Hi guys...

So I got a job in Saudi Arabia as a heavy duty equipment electrician 2years contract but renewable but am very scared to make the move cox of the fear of the unknown... Firstly I work with a reputable company here in Nigeria in the maritime sector as a FTE and I get approximately 400k monthly and I am being offered a salary of 3500sr(1.3m) for the Saudi Arabia job. I will only visit my country once in a year, am not married and am 33, n pressure of marriage dey my neck. Though accomodation and flight expenses will be catered for by the company but I don't know if it's really worth taking the move though I don't know the cost of living in saudi Arabia.... I don't know if you have a saudi Arabia experience.. please I need your inputs...

Thank you very much

Wotowotoman:
You responded to the guy that was talking about how most Nigerians that japa were economic migrants. And you used Tonye as an example. How can you? When I know Tonye mostly in Naija.

The problem with you is that you read a lot of junk online and think that gives you the knowledge to state facts carelessly on Nairaland. Some of us actually know these people. Stop fucking arguing and humble yourself young man!

Btw, if your mum was so rich as you always claim, you wouldn’t japa to Japan of all places while hating on Naija every damn day. Oga, abeg face your hustle and leave Naija for those that have the means to live in the country jor

Bayo only did his undergrad in the UK and immediately moved to the States for law school and MBA at Harvard. His first job was after Harvard in yankee!!!

And he was never loaned or bought out by First Boston. He was a lawyer on a deal (representing his law firm that acted as legal adviser on that deal) that involved First Boston and used the contacts made on that deal to secure a job at First Boston. Get your facts right dude!!!!!

Jerchance:
Hello Nairaland!
I'm reaching out for your honest advice:
Today, I woke up feeling overwhelmed by the uncertainties of life as a father,with a 9-5 job that doesn't pay much. I've struggled to make ends meet. I have no savings to fall back on, and the pressure is mounting now that I'm married with a new baby. My salary of 300k is quickly depleted by responsibilities and debt.

Could you offer some guidance on how to improve my financial situation? What skills can I learn or what steps can I take to increase my earnings, considering I don't have any savings to rely on?

Thanks!!!!

blackbriar:
Thanks for your the further explanation.

This was here i was headed in my comments. Have you ntoiced that are more indinas in tokyo lately and they all work in IT.
I spoke with 2 , and they moved to Japan form USA becuase they couldnt et their H1B visas and an IT form in japan offered them a job.

Nigerians are mainly focused on englih speakign nations whose visas are herculean compared to Japan. I just wish they could broaden their horizon.

blackbriar:
Education Route is the always the best route.
There is also the ALT Route but still semi-education based because you have to prove your comeptency.

Lastly and Sadly, why are nigerian IT guys not applying for jobs in Japan and getting your work visas.
Indians are applying form mumbai and delhi and getting full time jobs and work visas.

Trustyourself:
If you work hard in Europe, you can make the amount you mentioned in less than 3 months

olabrad:
You are a cursed fool that places his mother above his father. You are really cursed. Wait until you get married and we will.see whether you'll cheat on your wife or not.

Idiot senseless fool.

Acidosis:
The only and major problem is that we don't have many Lekkis in Nigeria. If what you see in Lekki cannot be replicated in at least 15 other states, then Nigerians are poor.

Infotubia9ja:
For me, Nigerian degrees even if FIRST CLASS it's not actually useful outside Nigeria. Mostly in western countries i.e USA Canada Luxembourg etc.

That's why when people who relocate to this country who want to push on their professional careers always go back to school in those country.
Reason I guess is based on their educational and teaching standard requirements.

Wetin concern religious Nigerians with space
Mr Tunde, even after living in Canada for how many years, you still did not seize to ask a question like a typical backward indoctrinated Nigerian.
Make we share money dey go Mecca and Jerusalem and bow down to white man and lick Arab assholes.
Then build the biggest churches in Nigeria.
While the rest of the world explore the universe and continue to advance.
You run quickly go the advance country and your mind is to populate your descendants there and they change their names to Peter, Michael and Jessica and speak through their nostrils forming accents and say my parents are from Africa, I yam a Canadian.
Dress and take pictures with snow and feel good about your japa and lost identity and heritage

holysaint1:
@op... My advise is that... Whatever one intends to do as a profession or business, he must have previously learnt or done the job.

So i suggest he drops his ego or pride and be ready to work in that his uncle livestock business for atleast 6months so he can atleast learn the modus operandi of the bhsiness. Only then can he decide if he still wants to venture into the livestock business or not.

Deeegbee:
Gerrard56, please how easy can you convert L1 Visa to a Green Card?

ednut1:
it used to be. Also timing matters. If you applied while still a student you will usually get it i know 2 babes that got it. But when you cross to graduate visa and you no get better job. They already know whatsup . They will likely bounce you.

Treadway:
have you watched the VP debate?

Vance is so darn brilliant, knowledgeable and articulate...

40 years old and that loaded. That guy will be president some day. Heck, I'd vote him for president today sef.

rock86:
Do you ever get tired of this country? This isn't life. Working all round to pay bills, no real connection except fake and superficial people.. No wonder people develop mental health issues. Which country can one go that gives a perfect blend of Naija vibes and Western sanity?

ednut1:
no difference . They have been denying people on post graduate visa this year

Drxxzy:
I would actually like to enter legally, but then, I feel the Visit visa is easier to get. Thanks for your input 👍

Drxxzy:
My backup plan is to apply for a Master's program in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. Since you're in Canada, I think you're the best person to give me some advice on this.
