Bricklayer carpenter don't let dem deceive u in nigeria those guys earn a lot of money, but drink, woman nor dey let dem see road so u think dey are poor

If u get bricklayer as friend tell him to honestly tell u how much he makes per month u will be shocked.

why would you work per month as a masonry and earn peanuts when you can work per day and earn more?

spartacus11:
Liar

actually it's true
A labourer on a construction site is paid 50 cedis per day
A carpenter earns 70 cedis per day and in a day he can do two to three jobs and make it big by 6pm.
A taxi driver daily sales can be more than 150 cedis on any good day.
An entery level worker in the private sector earn between a 1000 cedis and 2000 cedis a month.

Pidgin2:
You don't have a car and if you do then how much do you spend on fueling and repairs, don't you pay tax, what of mortgage? You don't buy clothes or eat out, what of furnitures and other minor needs, what of transportation when you are no using your car, phone bills nko, what of travel once in a while, unexpected bills nko, what of medical insurance?

and fees for the kids

nuelyoyo:
what the fuc.k are u saying? How many Nigerians are living well in Nigeria? On the contrary, when you travel out to Europe, Australia or north American countries, you actually come back and see that you are far better than those you left behind for the many years you have left for.

keep loving the illusion

nuelyoyo:
Abeg forget all those stuffs pple tell u about being insulted or maltreated in a foreign Land. Immigrants rights are more respected in Yankee than in Nigeria that is ur father land.

so you prefer suffering in the US to living well in your own country ?
Compare the cost of living in both countries and see whether it's worth it living a raising a family in the US.
You will come back home and realise, all your classmates are living better than you.

bigtt76:
They don't ha e savings because the system does not want them to have it. You don't buy with cash in those climes, you pay via credit cards and believe me, it's almost compulsory that you must be credit worthy.

Having all these opportunities made them not to care about savings or even owning an account. It's only the millionaires that have these things and still they rely on their credit cards.

They are mostly in debt
How is that better living

nuelyoyo:
Don't mind the ignorant OP, I was with an old university school mate recently in Benin, the guy works in a bank and has a wife and three kids already. He told me he is planning to move to Yankee, that almost all his colleagues have the same plan too. This is a guy that is doing well by Nigerian standard. To think that the OP of this thread says he stays in Lagos, Ajah for that matter, says so much about his level of exposure. A typical Lagos guy with street orientation know that hustling in Yankee is better than doing a white collar job in naija.

it is always better living in your own country.

MISTAICEY02288:
Oga thats a very big fat lie. In this present Naija, you can't get a 2bed apartment for that amount, except of course in an underdeveloped area. I was at Abuja recently to visit a family there. They are a young couple with 2 kids. Thay stay in a 2 bed apartment and they pay a milli per annum.

Also, i have been to America amd planning to finally relocate there. I was there for 6 months this year already and i know how life is there and know what Naija people there are achieving. Believe it or not, an ordinary salary earner or even a cab driver in America is far better than a bank manager here in Naija. After house rent, gas and electricity bills, Naija people over there still get to send money down home here and build houses and have investments here. That your assumption that a person doin normal job there can never build a duplex here till next 20 years is a big fat lie, make more research. You claim most Americans dont have up to 10k savings in theor account? You really more ignorant. Have you asked yourself this, the Americans people getting scammed of thousands of dollars through wire, dating etc, how do those people get those savings? There are lots of Americans with as much as between 100k to over 1milli savings in their accounts. Get ya facts right.

Also, even if we wanna assume "Okay, most Americans dont have up to 10k savings" dont you fink they might not feel the need to? Since they are earning their income constantly without getting owed like Naija Govt does and they get money to meet their needs at the right time cos payment is stable. Also, they feel its their country and no need saving up since they aint planning runnin to any other place. And also, they have everything within their reach e.g power supply, water, good roads, health care etc. A serious Naija citizen would feel the need to be saving up constantly cos he knows its not his country and he has to tie things down back home. Definitely, he would be saving every dime he has to spare and send down here to be getting projects done and investments set up.

Naija people in yankee with decent jobs are making waves here in Naija, get yo facts right and stop being ignorant.

there are 44 million Americans depending on food stamps to survive

Aquest:
My broda, i really appreciate your comments since have been following this thread. Pls my own question is will they ask you for a resident permit and work permit as a Nigeria before you can work or move freely over there in Ghana? Pls i will await for positive reply thanks.

yes you're required to have those

Bsmartt:
Russia's intelligence is extremely extraordinary. I don't know why Putin is doing this at the moment especially when the G8 has been unleashing various sanction on North Korea for his Nuclear activities. I pray we don't have WW3. # sigh

you should be praying the US does not start a war between Japan and China or invade North Korea in order to get a war with China because China is going to make the dollar worthless.

Holayinka2424:
who will defeat a country that is bigger than Africa as a whole or north america and south america combine together

I'm even wondering how you will defeat a country that has never been defeated in war before. A country with more than a thousand years war history.

mostwantedguy:
Wake up to reality. That 500k is equivalent to about 6k Ghanaian Cedi. You think Ghana currency is useless like the naira.

500k in Ghana
Anyway this is reality , only hosing will take all of that money.

ezzylee:
Very true. Even thought this their GH EXPRESS (THE BIG RED LUXURIOUS BUSES) go to Nigeria. But I was wrong. Definitely there will be a reason for them not transporting people to and from Nigeria.

They do go to Abidjan, Lome, Monrovia, Burkina Faso

ezzylee:
Lol.... Cross Country is the worst transport company I've ever taken when travelling.

My first time going to Ghana, I went with them. They'll tell you they'll start the journey by 6am, journey won't start until 9 or 10am. You'll now enter Ghana around 1am the next day (all this delay and all happened in all the 4 times I went with them).

Had some friends that were coming back to Nigeria with cross country. As usual, cross country told them to come by 5am this time. Their bus didn't leave the park until 11am. They were still in Ghana as at 4pm. They slept at aflao border that day and got into Nigeria the next day in the morning/afternoon.

Since I noticed all these things, I vowed not to do anything with them again. Now GUO is BAE.
GUO would leave Ghana 6am and I'll be at iyana ipaja by 3pm..... My house by 4 or 5pm.

unfortunately
I don't know but it seems Ghanaian bus companies dont like plying The Nigerian route

ezzylee:
Lol.... . Charlei I dey naija. Make dem come carry me

we will come for you at our own time

Silvawazza:
Are u selling it or giving it out for free?

selling it

ezzylee:
Yh.... it is. Busy is an ISP in Ghana.
Since the guy who wants to sell his mifi has cracked/unlocked it, it'll definitely work here in Nigeria.

The mifi is already 4g ready.

my company can still sue you for unlocking our product
Who want some? I work with the company and I have 40 pieces to sell

cstr1000:
The US is already at the top. China is the one looking to catch up so ofcourse they will generate more hype for little progress made.
The US has nobody to catch up on. Everybody wants to catch them.

you might be day dreaming

cstr1000:
See this guy.
So in your mind, china is more innovative than the USA.?
You think the world started 10 years ago?

what I know is
This century is not a US thingy

cstr1000:
Compared to Gold, it is.

if it was
Germany won't be laying claims to it golds

cstr1000:
There is nothing technological that china can do, that the US cannot do better.
Absolutely nothing.
Which Chinese system can you compare to Apple, HP or DELL.?
Which Chinese tech can you compare to its American alternative in any possible field of endeavour. Is it in automobiles, softwares, telecom or whatever.? The US beat them every -time.

just stop arguing
If the US can do anything, it should be filing more patents

castrogee:
Pls Bruv put your source link, I will want to cite it.

I can't give you my source but can give you a network you trust
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-38082210

castrogee:
Not true!

something that has been reported by media in Israel and confirmed by the Israeli defence authority Twitter handle is not true. I care less

Playing catch-up, China has recently achieved a bold breakthrough in secure communications. In August 2016, three years after the Pentagon abandoned its own attempt at full-scale satellite security, Beijing launched the world’s first quantum satellite that transmits photons, believed to be “invulnerable to hacking,” rather than relying on more easily compromised radio waves. According to one scientific report, this new technology will “create a super-secure communications network, potentially linking people anywhere.” China was reportedly planning to launch 20 of the satellites should the technology prove fully successful.

Over the longer term, the American education system, that critical source of future scientists and innovators, has been falling behind its competitors. In 2012, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development tested half a million 15-year-olds worldwide. Those in Shanghai came in first in math and science, while those in Massachusetts, “a strong-performing U.S. state,” placed 20th in science and 27th in math. By 2015, America’s standing had declined to 25th in science and 39th in math.

But why, you might ask, should anybody care about a bunch of 15-year-olds with backpacks, braces, and attitude? Because by 2030, they will be the mid-career scientists and engineers determining whose computers survive a cyber attack, whose satellites evade a missile strike, and whose economy has the next best thing.

Some telltale numbers suggest the nature of the future great power competition between Washington and Beijing that could determine the course of the twenty-first century. In April 2015, for instance, the Department of Agriculture reportedthat the U.S. economy would grow by nearly 50% over the next 15 years, while China’s would expand by 300%, equaling or surpassing America’s around 2030.

Similarly, in the critical race for worldwide patents, American leadership in technological innovation is clearly on the wane. In 2008, the United States still held the number two spot behind Japan in patent applications with 232,000. China was, however,closing in fast at 195,000, thanks to a blistering 400% increase since 2000. By 2014, China actually took the lead in this critical category with 801,000 patents, nearly half the world’s total, compared to just 285,000 for the Americans.

cstr1000:
Because fiat is sustainable. Gold is not.

really,
You mean a worthless printing spree is sustainable?
Not even the US Fed think so

cstr1000:
They can if there is a need.
The US already has an enormous computing power at its disposal that can serve them very effectively. Not to mention their satellites and enormous electronic spying capability that is un-rivalled in the world.
The day the US need the fastest computer in the world to hack China, they would build it.
It is also the same argument people make when they say Russia has the world's biggest nuke as a scare tactics. If the US needs the biggest nuke, they would build it in 6 months.

oooh yes there's need
It's because they can't build it that's why they don't have it.
And for satellites , they would be unusable in a war
GPS would fail and every thing would go cabum

cstr1000:
Look at you. Mine Gold from space.?
lol.
You think the Chinese are the first to think of Gold? lol

I don't think the Chinese are the first
I know everyone was much more interested in fiat than something with real monetary value

cstr1000:
You are Joking right?
When the US has Apple, Micrsosft, HP,DELL under its control via the patriot law.
Microsoft can create the fastest computer in a year if need be. That is not a problem for the US.
The US can at anytime cyber-infiltrate Chinese government and infrastructure with their own cyber resources on ground already. So there is no rush.

except all of them haven't been able to create a super computer that is fast enough for the Pentagon

cstr1000:
And when Gold finishes or get scarce, how do you conjure up more Gold?

one thing China has mange to do is not to leave it currency to speculation else the fate facing the US would befall it. The same globalist would take over, a nightmare they are so willing to avoid. Even if they would have to mine gold from space, they would.
Watch the price gold shoot up and lets see how finite gold would be

cstr1000:
I assumed you were talking about conflicts in third world countries like afgahnsitan or Syria, not among world powers.
Even in a war among world powers, the US has the resources to outlast them all.
And unlike those foreign wars that are most times unnecessary, this would be a war for survival and it would be a fight to finish with no consideration and so the US would be far more invested.
My money is on America to win.

you have no idea
War among powers would be fought with cyber and supercomputers
And for your info the US can't stand the supercomputing powers of China and it binarism
