I’m way more successful than you think...

There is no point exchanging banters with you...

You’re clearly not making any sense.

How can you be telling that you are successful and you couldn’t even afford a flight ticket to Nigeria since past 6 years that you entered USA ? You need to enlighten yourself and stop hiding on the internet!

LUCAS99:
You’re very stupid...

I’m a United States Citizen...

You really need to check yourself into Mental health facility.

You’re obviously loosing your damn mind.

Still that doesn’t make you a successful person Boy !

Im not your mate,cat don’t mingle with lion!

Stupid Boy !

Lmao! Ungrateful hypocrites all over the place. Sometimes, no matter how much you try to explain a concept, some people won't just get it. I'll stop trying.

See them talking about saving $100k-200k to move back to Nigeria in the same country where they said it's impossible to save any money due to tax, bills, debts, etc.

I'm glad I was able to leave at a young age

You can fool yourselves by talking up Nigeria like it's flowing with milk and honey over there, lmao. Is it not the same Nigeria?

Sit down there and listen to stories of failed people, continue reading things online about losers and keep deceiving yourself with the Idea that everyone is suffering here lol. Your ignorance will only increase.

I shake my head when I think of the barbers, hairdressers, truck drivers, welders, auto-mechanics, plumbers, etc. in Nigeria and how underrated/undervalued they are.

As I am typing this comment, I just thought to myself... I can conveniently walk into a car dealership this weekend and walk out with a brand new 2018 Honda Accord if I wanted to and I'm just an average person with a nice credit score and a good job. I'm only having that opportunity because I'm here.

Oh, and guess what? I tried the Uber/Lyft thing last weekend lol. I made $432 driving Thur-Sat, evenings only. Not bad for a rookie, is it? I spent about $30 on gas, though. I'm already fighting the temptation to make another $400+ this weekend.

I'm glad things are working out for me beyond my expectations. Wherever you are, if things are genuinely working out for you how you want, awesome!

EDIT

Just checked the exact figures, it wasn't 432. It's 246 on Lyft and $201 on Uber making $447.

I mentioned it in my post earlier,They would want to move back not for good intention but it’s simply because they cannot adapt and cope with the society.They couldn’t cope with a functioning system with no fraud, bribery and many other criminal activities!!

LUCAS99:
Are you for real?

Do I look like a homeless person to you?

Well you can check my pictures and see for yourself.

I’m done with you because you’re a slowpoke...

I don’t need to see your dirty pictures.

With the ways you have been insulting and abusing people on here ,You sound like one of those Dude managing life in places like ( little Haiti )with no academic background!!

LUCAS99:
You’re very stupid...

That’s the same stupidity that makes you think that Nigeria operates a Capitalist Economy.

Anyways not everybody that travelled out of Nigeria,actually had priviledge to get common sense...We know people like you hanging around One of those downtown.

You are so naive and daft !!

LUCAS99:
Okay, I’m done...

I’m already tired of the back and forth...

Fyi I’ m an American Citizen but I love Nigeria as well.

I shouldn’t have argued with you,Had to read your past post and I can only see that your IQ and thinking is so low..

LUCAS99:
You’re a very confused. Nigeria is not a Capitalist Economy.

Stop arguing blindly...

Ostensibly it is an economic system built on capitalism, but corruption is an overriding factor. According to the country’s National Bureau of Statistics, Nigerians on average pay six bribes per year to public officials. That amounted to $4.6 billion in 2016, the equivalent of 39 percent of the country’s federal and state budgets for education.

Nigerians rarely report bribery solicitations and payments as they have little faith in the ability or willingness of the authorities to crack down on bribery. It is a systemic problem and part and parcel to how the economy works.


I understand that you are very patriotic Nigeria but let’s call a spade a spade Okay !

LUCAS99:
If you think that Nigeria is a Capitalist Economy then you are very wrong.

Maybe you need to update your knowledge on the definition of a Capitalist Economy.

Right now, you don’t have an idea what you’re talking about.

You should rather educate yourself more and detail the characteristics of capitistic economy...

LUCAS99:
Nigeria is not a Capitalist Economy.

Nigeria is a Mixed Economy.

Stop peddling false information...

Forms of Economy Institutionally

Nigeria is a Capitalist economy with free market.It is either you get rich or you die trying.In this kinda of society, Its citizen get less or almost no attention and required support from its government.Such system can also be considered an individualistic System.Example is the united state of America or many of these African countries.

Socio-Economy Government

Germany,France,Finland,Sweden and many other developed western Europe practise what is called,Collectivistic.Its citizen tend to enjoy many benefits ranging from Gender equality, free Education, free Health care,High infrastructure,Responsible government providing for its citizens and you tend not to huzzle too much before you get the taste of quality of life.


In Western Europe its difficult to become a millionaire because even your million will be taxed.Income taxes are way so high.

In countries like Nigeria or America, If you channel your energy towards money and you strive strategically towards goal,It might be easy for you to become a millionaire.

So classifying peoples Income Class could be either you are super rich ,middle class or extremely poor(Lowest Class).In Nigeria we only have people that are either rich or poor with little percentage of middle class.In western Europe nobody is poor..(Welfare for all).

Now what is the definition of poverty,This simply means that many people lack Basic Amenities and the extremely poor people live below 1$ per day.

Basic Amenities: Stable electricity,Equality,Functioning Legal system,Standard Education, Infrastructure, Free Health care or sound one at least,Security,Access to subsidised public transport.

I think if Nigerian government can provide its citizen all of the above mentioned points, then we all are gonna stay back home.



Argument Between life in Nigeria and any western countries.

Only a stupid person will come up with the assumption that he or she travelled out of Nigeria because there is no money in Nigeria.See my Fellow Brethren,The money Otedola or his likes are having out there is never gonna be easy to get, in Countries like Usa, Uk or Germany etc Unless you engage yourself in Illegal activities.I hate it when Nigerians tell me that they emigrated from the country because no money.What do u mean by no money when you can easily do Yahoo, drugs, participate in Corruption or other illegal activities.Even if you want to climb through legit means in Nigeria still its easier cos you can easily build a small kiosk and start business but at Silicon Valley its either you have inherited some bunch of Dollars or you able to convince those Ventured Capitalist.

Now,Those that makes sense more are the one that are so smart and were able to detect the fault in the country called Nigeria and they left legally.The fault means no Basics Amenities, Irresponsible government.These ones tend to complain less and appreciate white Man land,WHY ?? They got no worries about those Bills.They got so much patience to further education and build a new life...(Advantage to you more,if you still got good age and not 60 yrs before detecting error)

The Reason why many Nigerians in Diaspora bad mouth a White Man land is this….They never thought that they are gonna make money and pay necessary bills,They thought that once that pay check drops its over.Once you do not mix the concept of migration up and you are able to define your purpose of leaving your country, I think you are good to go.

Those that belong to becoming Otedola abroad always end up selling drugs, involving in criminal activities and las las incarcerated.Very easy now to get track down and put behind bars cos of technological Advancement.If you wanna migrate for a good life,I wish you good luck and plan well.If you wanna get rich quick also,Think twice about it.


PS: I live in Germany and have been to so many countries and can easily internally analyse many of them for ya.

No Place like home though.....

Pavore9:
Wouldn't it have been better if he had stuck to one wife and used the money spent on sustaining a polygamous setting for a solid health insurance rather than relying upon the considerations of others?

Women and fame ooo....he was from a well affluent family.

It is not only Third mainland Bridge that has been a spot for suicide but many lonely bridges...The same goes to the Golden gate bridge in California.I once also experienced one at the Eko Bridge in Idumota. She got out the wema bank, Her account balance was empty and she was lonely and depressed.

It is only Citizens that could help themselves,The only solution is this,Once anybody notice someone wandering and loitering around in a lonely place like third mainland Bridge,Approach them with love and try to talk to them.

And you guys think one of the Villagers wouldn´t try to exhume the corpse later,In order to steal the car?

They are right on this one or they will ask you to show a copy of the credit card while departing to your destination.

I can see many people keep on saying that they do not wanna take their kids to the boarding house.I can only say that every experience worth it,I was also at the boarding House for 6 years and i can tell you that i really do not have anything to regret.

I rep Ijebu Ode Grammar schoool,It was fun!!

If you travel out of Nigeria with a Tourist visa which also is a Non Immigrant Visa.I am only going to assume that your cousin filling for you,Means that he is gonna generate a Invitation letter for you.

Okay the main fact is that Immigration laws are getting stricter than never,So if you stayed back leaving your wife and kid in Nigeria...Are you ready to emotionally bear the pain of being away from your family?Its take rigorous route to get a legal stay after sneaking in Illegally.I think it would be better for you to invest in business in Nigeria and legally start travelling abroad.

After the expiration of your visiting visa,You automatically gonna be an illegal alien in the foreign land and automatically expose to deportation.

Number 15 is true,I have never see a relationship whereby Mum gives warnings and the relationship last..

INSIGHTFUL OBSERVER says:
Every profession is important and needed by the society. The choice of course to study is usually motivated by several factors, of all the reasons, job security is by far the most regarded yardstick in making a career choice.

PHARMACY
Pharmacy is a course that deals with the art and science of drug knowledge in all its aspects and ramifications, ranging from drug discovery, drug use, pharmacotherapy, toxicology and a host of other aspects.

This is a course that can be pursued by a science student for the benefits that come with studying it. These benefits include:

1. Job Security
Pharmacy is a course that guarantees Job, either self-employment or civil service. Considering the Nigerian situation, most people are after what will offer them food on the table.
There isn't sufficient number of Pharmacists to cater for the Nigerian population, could you imagine as of 2010, there was only one Indigene Pharmacist from Zamfara state and one Pharmacy in Jigawa state despite the numerous opportunities.

2. Service to humanity
There is no greater joy than helping people, it gets back to someone in different ways.

3. In-study Financial opportunities
As a pharmacy student, one is eligible for oil scholarships such as Chevron, NNPC/TOTAL, AGBAMI, SHELL, SABF that usually give amount ranging from N100,000, N150,000 to N200,000 and you can get more than one, though now they're mostly restricting a person to only one.

If you are from states like Jigawa, Kaduna, Adamawa, Zamfara, Kebbi, Gombe, Taraba and Bauchi. You'll be bonded with the state government and they'll be paying you monthly salary of different amount ranging from N27,000 to N48,000 which should be enough to help sustain you.

4. Nobility and Prestige
Pharmacy is a noble course, being a Pharmacist comes with prestige and nobility, it commands respect and admiration.

I'm proud to be a Pharmacist

It is disgrace to be a Pharmacist in Nigeria.I do not even like this your own idea or point ...How can we have so many Pharmacists in Nigeria and yet the society consume imported drugs??

EMMAACHILE:
One of the limitations in my findings especially Africa is the limitation of a credit card system. Credit cards are good if used for business purposes.
A friend got a €40000 credit limit for a 36 month duration in Finland. Imagine if it was available here in Nigeria.
We are still a long way to go though an Australian man told me there are ways of tapping into the US credit card system from anywhere worldwide.

Many stuff remain unrealistic in Nigeria and in the entire Kingdom of Africa.So you want Nigerians to start using credit card so that can use their dubious altitude to runaway with funds.Nigeria still have a long way to go..Have you ever asked yourself why we only receive foreign funds but cant really send out?

well this is a nice post and I guess every sane person that live abroad would always meditate about life back home but I do not advise anybody to give up his or her own identity.You can get American passport or whatever passport you want but please don't get provoked with how backward NIgeria is right now.I think the only thing Nigeria society lay more emphasis on is MONEY.If you see someone living abroad and he or she is complaining, its simply because of greed.There is always a huge difference between having access to basic amenities and being rich at the same time poor. Buhari for example remain a poor man cos he need to always travel down to London for medical check up.

Whats Rookie all about ??

Firefire:
The thief should be arrested.

Dokpesi, you sold DAAR Communication shares to Nigerians and up till now no dividends, return my money or die disgracefully.


Professional looter!

Me too,It’s been over ten 10 years and I invested my hard earned in this shit public offer....Mad Man

and you think Nigerian University are better because of the above listed points?

wow Good news.my brother has been waiting for his filing since 2007,I would like to know how much its gonna cost him and wife finally when the filling mature!! and how long does the wait take after receiving letter?

ruggedmallaam:
I was having a heated debate with a guy about Buhari's government on one of these forums, we argued to a point that he had to ask me what have i even benefitted from this government that i am defending.i told him all i could.and now it was his own turn to answer my question(what did he benefit from Jonathan's government) but to my biggest surprise he said during jonathan's era, money was flowing but i told him hope he realized most of those money where stolen,but the guy said it doesn't matter, then i realized that i was arguing with a fool

That is why it’s difficult to rule Nigeria.I have a friend with thesame mindset of your friend.

In Germany your old age depends on the kind of life you had while you were young m.If you retire,You get pension depending on how much you were making while young.Many of these trash pickers are junkies trust me nobody is suffering in Germany.The government still make sure you get at least 400 from social account and also your accommodation would be taken care of.Trash pickers could also use collected bottles to get money from automated machine.

RadicallyBlunt:
But hope there's security against being resold when you're not ready to build.

That I can’t say,My dad also told me not to trust all these estate developers...They might end up giving you story..If you want to purchase a land ,go local and meet the family members and also involve your personal lawyer..The property bought those lands in bulk from local owners and they resell,sometime they can be dubious.

RadicallyBlunt:
700k on d island. Are u kidding? Sounds like fraud to me.

I do not think it’s fraud.You need at least 45 minutes from Ajah for you to reach that particular mentioned location.

Hmmm

I think “expose himself “ simply mean maybe His co worker always flaunt to people,The kind of job he does for a living whereby he is suppose to make himself anonymous or

MrBrownJay1:
a stingy person is someone who is careful with money, who knows the value of money, and most importantly, how hard it is to make money (thus they dont squander it on BS).

sadly, the majority of people in Nigeria who call others stingy have absolutely no money to call their own, and are usually the one begging that same "stingy" person for handouts etc (or expect him to spend frivolously on them).

Well intelligently said,Sometimes being Stingy doesn't really mean he is not nice and not willing to help.Just like you said,He knows the Value of money and doesn't squander it on BS.It mean he knows how to manage his resources,If you worth giving the money and would use it for a reasonable thing, then thats okay.Would you call me a stingy person if i decline giving you money to buy condom, Beer, Cigarette ,f**kn prostitute?The other day a good friend of mine told me to buy him game Pad.

Either the story is a fabricated one or real.I can only advise guys to stay away from those girls that had serious relationship for 5,6,7 years and later ended it.many of these ladies are still always acquainted with their ex, feelings and emotions still always there for them.Therefore, They tend not to give you the exact true love that you need.80 Percent of them would still always give their Ex's access to login and log out anytime any day.
