You don't even know anything yet here you are, yapping fumes!!!

Try and proof me wrong bro nah. You the omniknowest.

tensazangetsu20:
So in your mind, Nigeria is better than Azerbaijan. They have a per capita of 18000 USD and a much higher human development index than us. Same as Armenia. North Korea maybe but that's even plausible.

North Korea maybe ke? That's prison; you dare not even move interstate within the country without government's approval. You, as a female, could get murdered or imprisoned for dressing in jeans. It's that bad. BTW, read about Azerbaijan-Armenian war.

tensazangetsu20:
Please which country is Nigeria better than in Asia and South America. I dey wait. Better we get light pass them, better school, better healthcare, better work. Road and general infrastructure. List I dey wait.

Better migrate to North Korea where your use of the internet is regulated and you can get murdered for even saying this or Syria where you probably would have enlisted into the army and running about with grenades and RPGs. What about Azerbaijan and Armenia where mines would have blown you to pieces in broad daylight or Kazakhstan. I understand you and sincerely detest this country myself, but to be honest, as unbelievable as it sounds, you'll appreciate this place despite how shitty it is when you get to hear the experience of people in other places. Also, I pray your relocation works so we get to rest on this site.

Akeem1987:
Those your friends are telling you the bitter truth about life. No be you write this topic very carefully and well punctuated. My brother Nigerian government doesn't have plans for his citizens. You will definitely end up working for him in his company after graduation. You have no excuse now and you can akso combine the two together. Na people like you dey talk say yahoo no good but like spending the money. Mtchewwww you be mumu. Continue school if your papa get company or if you get politician as uncle.

The bitter truth? How's that truth? So there are no legal ways to make money besides fraud? And since kidnappers make as much as 100-200 millions per trip? we all should start kidnapping? Is your conscience completely dead? How would you feel working your company from nothing from th very scratch to a multimillion venture, only to end up losing it all to fraudsters who spend half of the proceeds on prostitutes and drinks? Or a loved one of yours loses all his/her funds and collapse right there in your presence. No wahala, you dey meet your Waterloo soon.

MrLobe:
Wrong, there are many certified gee boys with top notch company....Go to Badore Ajah and Oba Akran way in Ikeja ask for their CEO....The tin just be say such money dont last long
Meanwhile as my oga slawomiir will always say" first do some dope shit then invest later, most of our billionaires today have do some fraudulent deals years back....Go and ask how Mrs Folorunso Alakija got her first million dollars

How did she? Kindly indulge me.

JackDaAlienz:
This is why I hate showing off Wealth

It's even far more dangerous to show off Wealth in a messed up country like Nigeria.
Ordinary Benz wey I use enter my guy neighborhood. If you see the way ppl for that street dey look me like say I'm the reason for their poverty.

The level of jealousy in this economy is crazy.

Best believe, they'd be mumuring underneath that you're a yahoo boy.

Hello great people of Nairaland
I have been an ardent follower of this section since 6 months ago when I began saving for a car and I must say I have learnt quite a lot
I am thinking of getting a 2010 Hyundai Elantra, or accent of higher years (2012)
I am also considering getting a Kia Rio (year 2015 upwards)
Please guys I need your opinion on these as I am at crossroads on what to go for.

Gazzuzz, Radautoworks

Based on hearsay, those brands are best bought new rather than as fairly used or Toks.

jeyem:
Yes

You are definitely being paid in USD and you don't reside in Nigeria, that I'm sure of. It's cool. Are you front-end or back-end?

jeyem:
32k after NYSC in 2011
105k after 3 month probation 2011
180k after 3 years side hustling 120k
4millionper month now after taxes but rent is 1million per month
Doing some certifications exam to make it 6million

IT?

IbileIfe:
N800 monthly in 1988 as a young national Program Consultant for UNICEF in Nigeria.
I was in my early 20s.
Minimum wage was N250.

Real wages fell significantly in the l980s following a statutory wage freeze (1982-88), salary cuts in the public sector in 1985, and a constant nominal minimum wage that started in 1981. From 1986 to 1989, real wages fell almost 60 percent.

You must be retired by now sir.

able20:
Sometimes I get scared when folks on NL say no amount of earnings is sustainable in Nigeria.
I was planning my retirement soon with 850k monthly income.

Retirement? Indulge me sir. Are you in your 50's already?

Iyaebe:
That's an insult to the husband

Buying a vibrator or fornicating? Which is better?

Babastrong:
I am not a salary eaner but employer. The least amount my employee in the lowest rank is receiving now is 45k/month.
But As an employer i know that being an employee is a modern slavery no matter how much you're receiving monthly.

Tell that to the expatriates working for oil companies or the team leads at Microsoft. The salaries of many people dwarfs your annual earnings by a mile. Be humble sir!

wunmi590:
He might actually be earning up to that...

I have a friend earning that exact amount monthly...

Just pray to God to open ways for you...

Some people are earning big oooo

What is this guy's specialization?

Born2conquer:
I hope someone will read this because it’s on page 10 already,


If my DADDY wasn’t a giver, we probably wouldn’t have gone through hardship.

My dad was a senior officer back then in the civil service and man worked for over 20years, he was giving his money out gannnn! To church, to community projects, and a lot of his siblings children lived us, we had nothing less than 10 kids living with us back then man had no savings because he was disbursing his salary.

He lost his job in 2007 and that was when his siblings came to pick up their kids and till date, those kids are doing fine and non of them even visit my dad again.

He lost his job and he was forgotten, church and Alfas first took the few changes he had left all in the name of praying for him before they all left!

Hardship CHOKE!!! we were living in an estate and we had to move into my mum’s 2 bedroom uncompleted project, lol, I left my private school to a public school..


Arghhhh! My dad was in one social club when he was balling but they all left when he lost his job.

A big shout out to my Mum for raising 4 kids singlehandedly without anybody knowing.

Glory be to God, things are better because we’ve finally built our house and we now 2 rides and we all are gainfully employed

Guess what? The leeches are coming back they finally remembered we exist again

They came back? That's really shameful. I guess it's now easier to say no to them.

internationalman:
This man's net worth is some Naija billionaires tithes..

I mean the dollar billionaires like dangote, Otedola and the likes.

No matter how rich or poor you are there are people who are richer than you except you are Jeff bezos and people poorer than you except......

Modified : I just realized a big error in my comment as I was high on orgasm while typing it..

What I meant to say is; this man's tithe is most naija billionaires net worth...

Thanks to everyone for the chance I gave you all to insult me.

Or you mean some Nigerian billionaire's networth is Zuckerberg's tithe?

olukaygold:
Inside One of the room at night

Congratulations boss. This is wonderful. Please update regarding how much you've spent so far.

AlphaLion:
Hopefully your abroad runs will pay so everybody on nairaland will rest. I even wonder why you returned back to Nigeria after getting the opportunity to leave the first time. No wonder you always sound so frustrated.

Anyway, you are Ibo, so the bitterness about Nigeria na follow come with una. God go do am for you

LooooooL.

Dextre:
Unlike you, i know of nigerians doing relatively okay in Germany, wey dey go on vacations often( not a sign of wealth but at least they are good). You determine how you thrive in a place, not the country will determine for you. Nigeria is a good example of that

Vacations aren't a big deal in Europe. You can travel to 3 different countries for vacay on less than 150 pounds, which evidently is affordable for a minimum wage earner. Visa isn't required for travel and air ticket is ridiculously cheap.

ezewealth:
What u should asked yourself is "if you find yourself in their position will they help you?.
I am not asking you not to help people but don't displease urself to help people apart from ur siblings n parents. I used to be like you bro, till I learn it d hard way

So much wisdom. Your siblings and parents should be the major priority as they would be the ones to run to when chips are down. The so called beggars won't waste a second trashing your number.

HenryDion:
We're in the same boat. I've already made up my mind to leave my current location, and also throw away my old number. I'd advise you do the same...

In your new location, lay low... Never allow friends to choose you, choose them.

When choosing, make sure they aren't church rats, but people on the same level as you in terms of financial capacity.

Nothing brings a hustling man down faster than familiar beggers.

Loool. To the extent you intend to discard your old number. It must be that bad.

tensazangetsu20:
I used to abuse the older generation blaming them for completely destroying the country for the younger generation especially Nigerians in the 45 plus age bracket but I have been thinking and I feel that age range of Nigerians actually had it much worst than Nigerians of today.

Nigeria is still an absolute shithole today but at least the internet exist which is enabling young people to make a living online. Something that was impossible or unheard of like 10 years ago.

How did older men survive Nigeria when they were young. I mean let's say you graduated from unilag or unn with a mechanical engineering degree in 1984 when Buhari was head of state. They were no jobs, unemployment was still very rife. There was no internet for freelancing or stuff like that. Bujari destroyed the economy then and a demon IBB entered and became president as if that wasn't worst Abacha came in. By the time Abacha left, a 22 year old man from buhari tenure might have been 35 or close to 40 years. Lived through all this bad governance, poverty and hardship. It's so terrible when I think about it.

Older Nigerians how did you guys do it? I am really curious to hear your experiences.

Nigeria was way better then than now. You can get a full-time role in a bank with a school cert back then. Even a masters degree doesn't guarantee you a contract staff role now. You have companies waiting for you outside your exam hall with official cars while writing your final paper. It was way better then than now. Dollar was even weaker than naira in the 70's and 80's.

arthurwillia:
Sorry if your mothers tongue intonation is reflecting in your spoken words then I’m sorry for you o

Loool. There's no solution to that?

bayo2018:
Good day nairalanders

I wanna seek advise on behalf of my parent. My dad is a road side mechanic while Mum is a petty trader. Dad is 55yrs while Mum is 52yrs. I wanna ask what type of Business can I set up for my parent based on the Economy growth of the country.
I plan setting up a mini mart for my mum earlier buy after asking my sister about it she said it’s not a good business in terms of profitability.
Kindly help to suggest what type of Business I can set up for both of them so I can start working on it.

Ask them yourself. They're adults and should know what they have a flair for and can manage.

[s]But in a mysterious way, the tree rose back on its roots again, about 24 hours after on Tuesday.[/s]

The Oyo people found it incredible, that a tree deemed dead could spring back to life.

Hundreds of people were attracted to the scene, as they shared folk stories about the tree said to have been planted by a Sango worshipper.

you'll see brown roof people worshiping the tree soonest....

a tree was washed deep-rooted by erosion y'all are shouting mystery TUEH SMH

within 24 hours?

You'll get labelled as an enemy of progress

you read my mind

tensazangetsu20:
As for saving make sure to save in dollars or crypto stable coins to beat inflation. Dont do any foolish business in Nigeria o.

Is there any coin that is stable in crypto besides USD teether?

Raalsalghul:
I agree, but there's need to always have some physical cash lying around in case of emergencies.

Not all investments can easily be liquidated.

To be fair, it's better leaving one's money lying in the account than investing considering how volatile and toxic Nigerians and Nigeria is for business currently. Despite my research, I've lost a lot of money to several investments myself.

Homguy:
Hi Jiren01, sorry it's coming late.
Sure! You can get PNP and it's not so hard. Main thing is to get into the pool regardless of what your score is. Contact the province you would like to get PNP from and hope they like your profile.
My Bro-in-law just got a letter of interest from Alberta with a CRS score of 437. So it's definitely doable. You should reach out to as many provinces as possible just note that you will have to live in that province for 2years which is definitely better than anywhere in Naija.
Have you written IELTS or assessed your Pharmacy degree yet?

and is this brother-in-law of yours a pharmacist?

I appreciate your heads up sir. I'm already in the pool with a CRS score of 475.

There's nothing disturbing about this. It's acne vulgaris, the condition of which even appears mild.

Hi,

If you fall within the age grade and you take the graduate trainee route, you will be considered for HR.

Is the GT role contract or full-time?
