These "perks" which I enjoy is called a loophole. One that can easily be closed and enjoyed by a few.

But at the same time, it's important to note that this is not attributable to only Nigeria.
American government and UK government gave out huge sums as COVID stimulus check and at the end, more than 20 billion dollars went Missing. Tell me how that was possible if not corrupt politicians exploiting loopholes.

What about rich people in those countries who hide their money using offshore accounts?

Corruption and loophole exploitation happens everywhere. You cannot use that as a basis to denigrate Nigeria. No system is perfect.
Everyone of us have benefited from a loophole in one way or the other. That doesn't mean we shouldn't hope for things to get better.

The people lambasting you are even doing worst.

gustav25:
Nobody says Abroad is a bed of roses but with elegant hardwork and self purpose , one can do more.

You can do more in Nigeria with this mindset than in a foreign country with high cost of living that will choke you to death.

Ibime:
Where the heart is willing, it will find a thousand ways, but where it is unwilling, it will find a thousand excuses

You think people who sell their entire inheritance and savings in Nigeria to go abroad are not serious and willing?

Expert17:
No 3, just confirmed your level of ignorance.

That part is not for half baked I.T guys like you struggling in Scotland.

Think4Yourself:
I will rather be educated by a toddler than you.


Your misinformation is haram

Kk.

Think4Yourself:
You stink of backwardness.....

Ask questions so I can educate you.

This whole abroad is utopia nonsense that these nigerians peddle is just a mirage. There are only 3 groups of nigerians enjoying abroad and anyone who does not fall within that group is suffering. thats just facts. and these 3 groups of people only constiture about 4 percent of the diaspora or even less than 4 percent meaning 96 percent are struggling. The 3 groups are

1- Nigerian children who live abroad and stay with their parents.

2-Medical doctors.

3-IT GURUS. and not just any run of the mill IT guy but i mean like an IT guy who can code in almost 10 languages both frontend and backend and can handle database administration etc

These are the only 3 groups of people enjoying the abroad . everybody else is struggling harder than the common man in Nigeria. The high cost of living there will kill you.

obainojazz:
Yeah I see a lot of them in Australia struggling with delegate money they earn in just two to three months in their fancy cars and nice appartments.
Choose your struggle

Bro I have heard life experiences from people who went and returned. A cousin of ours who have B S from an American university returned last December after completion of his education and gave us first hand account of how Nigerians, blacks are going through hard times there. When you are broke in America you will realize how easy you have it in Nigeria. If you go abroad you will see people that sold their inheritance to travel and they are stuck. If there are 100 people abroad , maybe 5 may be successful but the other 95 will be full of regrets. The high cost of living there negates any perceived positive.

obainojazz:
America is not the only western
99% percent of people who migrate to a western country speak positively about their decision because they know how things were back home.
Be it bank managers or regular civil servants

Wrong. Large percentage of people who leave Nigeria are struggling abroad.

Stop the cap lol. Do you know what you're even saying?

Have you ever seen an active Ambulance in Nigeria? Charges are even paid out of city's pockets in some states, and in some it's mostly dependent on the distance and type of services you received. Last I remember in Roanoke it was around $9/mile. And hospitals are like half a mile from each other.

Ever heard of insurance? No one pays that much to give birth man


20 years repaying loan? Lmaoo. Long as you studied a decent course, it doesn't take even half of that, and if even depends on how much you're earning to even start with. Are you going to talk about the numerous scholarship given to students you can barely see in Nigeria? Or the proper education they receive compared to the trash in Nigeria?



Look up what Quality of life actually means. And stop misinforming people. One more time, what can you boast of as an edge to other countries?

You are the one capping. I will drop various links for you to educate yourself.

Roland17:
And they are still living in that same America abi?

Some returned home in shame. Others refused coming back for reasons best known to them.

WhoDeyHause:
This is why I first asked if you live in America. Are you saying this from you experiencing them or Google?

From my research and testimony from those living there. America na hype job.

WhoDeyHause:
Someone who is not lazy and ready to work would take that instead of continue suffering in this dead country. Are many things not even expensive for the common man in this place?

When taxes and debt choke you, you will realize it's not by hard work. Ordinary giving birth is $7k minimum then house rent yearly is 30k dolls. You will know America is not great.

WhoDeyHause:
Let me ask you my question. What are the so called positives of Nigeria compared to the great America?

There's nothing great about living in America. The high cost of living there trumps any positive you may think they have.

VargasVee:
Access to better healthcare?

Education?

Infrastructure and General quality of life? As much as I want to go on and on, it's almost pointless this comparison.



I ask you again, living in Nigeria, what can you boast of?

Access to better Health care.......... Do you know how much for ambulance in America? Do you know how much to give birth In America? Just Google it and then come back to me. The prices will kill you.


Education.........Go and check how even after 20yrs after graduation many people are still paying of their students loan.


Quality of living.........This one na pure lie. People that are paying over 30k dollars minimum a year on rent. Baba rest


America na hype job.

VargasVee:
I'm not about to write at an epistle for you. Your type is literally the ones who convince people to stay back as 'e go better'.


Same story that has been reshuffled year in year out. If the US is a hype job, best know 9ja is beyond a nightmare.

No need to write epistles bro. Just list the so called positives of the great America.

onyemaair:
I want us to put things in perspective.
Nigeria has problems, YES! So too does every other country. You guys are making it seem like nigeria is a totally catastrophic hell hole. Until you look at Sudan, Congo, Ukraine, etc. Then you realize it an issue of how relative our problems are.

In America, gangsterism and gun culture has led to a culture of violence. More than 100 people die everyday in America due to gun violence from citizens owning guns to gang affiliated murders in ghettos. Should we talk of Spain and Italy plagued with immigration problems?

Well said.

EmmanuelScott1:
oga nah only America dey this world, the Ogas shouting JAPA is because it's only option dey took and it favoured em, they no dey force you ooo, as for me nah JAPA.

By next year I go finish my education, I'm into tech too, JAPA no go miss me

Don't fail to mention those that Japa and returned to Nigeria empty handed.

VargasVee:
What manner of half-assed comparison is this?

Even when you try to compare it, Americans have a lot of positive things to count towards.


Matter fact, the positives almost nullifies the negative ones.


As a Nigerian, what exactly can you boast of?

What are those positives? Am all ears. America is an hype Job.

raumdeuter:
Do you have kids of your own? IMO those are your primary responsibility. Cousins, nephew nieces are just secondary and dont take over your immediate family

Family remains family. This is the kind of mindset that will make your extended family abandon your children when in need.

The America you one to Japa to, how many people have died in the past few weeks due to mass shooting ? How many of those living in America here have ran away to another country.

You say tribalism/religion is dividing Nigeria yet in your own family you are already having secondary and primary priority.

raumdeuter:
If your 5yr old brother never chop and your 1yr old son never chop. Who do you think is your primary priority and secondary

Family is family. There's nothing like secondary or primary.

WhoDeyHause:
LMAO. This dead club is now doing weddings in camp zoo for payment. Which kind of poverty is this? They will become more desperate and send their woman team to go and do hookup. Boehly should buy this worthless dead club so we can have collect their small resources. Cc Neimar, andrewbaba44, Godx, kilishihunter, Taguchi,jpmoriarti and other dead barka fans.

This your forced rivalry and obsession with Barca is something I will never understand. It seems you don't know your level in the football food chain and hierarchy.

Lebron James officially a billionaire. With all the money football players earn,no one is sensible enough to invest properly.

User09:
Oh it is. Extremely even.

Do the numbers. U'll realise quickly

If Nigeria is a poor country, then no country in Africa and South America is rich.

popizaino:
You are not looking for any clarity, you are only looking for an opportunity to write that your useless k.

Kk.

Elder0001:
E Remain to add "discuss" for the end of your question.

I am just curious about your assertion and looking for more clarity.

Elder0001:
Christians oppress atheists and traditionalists in Nigeria, but nobody says anything.
Muslims give the Christians a taste of their own medicine by oppressing them and they start wailing all over the place.

Fvcking clowns.

In what ways do christians oppress atheist and traditionalist in Nigeria?

Capaldi:
Complete set without the community shield?

Lmao

One of Pressure fc ex player was crying on Twitter.

Vvd locked down Benzema yesterday. He had a superb game.
