If you have spent at least a decade living in western countries and have mingle with Nigerians,You will realize that many of them with no purpose and goal tend to easily disclose that they have American Nationality.That is Only a necessity,He is a failed coward trying to console himself with American Passport!!!
A failed coward with about $10,000 in savings?

Are you kidding me?

Continue making a fool of yourself...

No wonder you’re unable to make something out of your life.

You’re the only one responsible for the current state of your life.

Don’t blame people for the wrong decisions you made...

Please, I’m not like your fellow Nigerians without any Purpose & goal.

I’m doing relatively well compared to my age mates.

Having a U.S. Passport is just an icing on the cake.

You sound like a very pained individual.

Those kind of people hardly make it anywhere in the world be it Nigeria or Abroad.

Where/when/how did I make it seem easy for a RN to earn/save/make $100k? I only said it's a possibility. I don't know where you people live that bills and tax is taking all your earnings o.

RNs with experience, working in ICU for example, can earn $80k+ AFTER TAX (I know one in Tennessee). It depends on lifestyle. She currently has two houses, 2 cars and has $55k cash in her account. I promise I can show you proof if you think I'm making it up.

My point is: it is not an impossibility. Things happen in this life of ours.
I didn’t say you’re making it up.

The point is that for her to command such Salary she definitely has a ton of experience.

If she is making $80K+ AFTER TAX, then that means she makes around $120K+ BEFORE TAX.

That’s a lot of money anywhere in America and not so many people command such salary

I usually put 0 when filling out my work paperwork so that the government takes all their taxes.

But like you know when we file our taxes during the beginning of the year we usually get a lot of money that was deducted from our paycheck during the preceding year.

Yes, I usually go to Strip Clubs & mess around with escorts and I post my experiences over there.

There is nothing to be ashamed of.

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 grin

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. grin grin grin
$447 is really good just for three days of work.

I heard most Uber Drivers & Lyft Drivers make a lot of money on Weekends.

Usually Friday, Saturday & Sunday from 10:00 PM - 4:00 AM.

There is usually a surge around that time since most people are going back home from the Clubs & Parties which in turn increases your earnings.

Mr Man be matured.

Success speak itself, same way you do not need to tell anybody that you have common sense before they confirm it.You have no reason to come on a faceless forum to give evidences and confirmation that you are successful.You are just so weak and also an attention seeker!!!

You are not fooling anybody but yourself.I wont reply you again because we have enough idiot like you on here already.

Look at the way i have been replying you and look at your own response.
Well, you were the one that said that I couldn’t afford a Flught Ticket back to Nigeria.

I proved you wrong by showing you that I have more than $10,000 laying around in my Business Account at Bank of America.

You can also send me a PN and I would pay your vacation this year to visit Monaco...You just fucking bro and trying to be real...You can travel the whole world and doesn`t even know how the Golden gate bridge look like....mumu
Firstly, I don’t live around Harlem

Secondly, I don’t need you to pay for my Vacation.

I have more than enough money to take a Vacation with my Girlfriend

Besides who goes to Monaco for a Vacation?

I wouldn’t go even if it was free.

Most people go to Jamaica, Paris & London.

Are you talking about this credit from a Nigerian bank? If yes, that's awesome!!! I didn't know Nigerian banks could do such. If No, can you do the same with a Nigerian bank? If yes, that's still awesome!!!

PS. You can save $100k working a regular job here (if being a RN and making $80k+ per annum is considered regular). It's not as impossible as you're making it. The question is... who's willing to make sacrifices to have $100k cash sitting in their bank account? Lol.
No, I’m talking about American Banks like Wellsfargo & Bank of America.

It’s not as easy as you make it seem for RN to $100,000

You fail to realize that $80k+ per annum is before tax by the time taxes are taken out and Bills are paid including Rent & Car note then it becomes very difficult to saved up such amount of money.

Lol, the moving back concept is really baffling. Someone's talking about moving back with 30-60 million Naira ($100k-200k). That's a lot of money. How many people can save 60m Naira in Nigeria? How many?

People have failed abroad, people have also been fooled into moving back home thinking it'd be easier. In the end, they lost their way and their only saving grace was that they could realize their mistake and flee Nigeria again lol.

A functioning system is a functioning system! It's complete ignorance to compare Nigeria to a such countries. There are still places in Lagos where you can't drive to. You have to park your car somewhere and walk or else... you'll spend your next salary fixing your car.

I'm not against anyone wanting to move back. As long as they do it for their own reasons without saying untrue things, we're cool. Not even 2m Naira a month can make me move back to Nigeria. I can't deal with stupidity anymore.
Again, we’re not talking about saving up $100,000-$200,000

Heck how many people can save up that amount by working a job abroad.

I was talking about taking a $100,000 a Business Line of Credit to establish a Business in Nigeria.

Stop confusing yourself...

I personally know a lot of people that have moved back and are doing very well.

The now shuttle between Nigeria & the United States of America.
