The people you speak about in Africa are in the minority. It’s not even up to 1%. When it comes to absolute wealth, Africa is nowhere near the rest of the world. Africa barely accounts for 3% of the global economy making it economically irrelevant.

Learn to separate the people from the country.

Africa is different from Africans.

You are missing the point.

US is a wealthy country but has one of the largest homeless people in the world.

Read the content of the topic. Don't attempt to change it and impose your own thought. You are miles off the topic.

at the end of the day a teenager called kobbie mainoo that just started his career yesterday will buy you a 100 times..I will always be fighting all this evil mentality we got.. happiness in life is beyond money..no be all this all who better pass rubbish.. if you fit eat .live a standard of life that makes you happy..even na 1 kobo you dey earn..oga dey enjoy yourself dey go.. 200 years from now.. no one here will be remembered here except dose who put smiles on people faces and made the world a better place.. who still dey remember Rockefeller..Mr ibu,sam loco or jacki chan is more likely to be remember in history than him

You ended up writing rubbish.

How çan a sheer volume of mediocrities and silliness be deposited in only one person?

I feel sorry for you.

Bankowner:
What the OP has said is relative. I have seen Regional Managers of banks in Nigeria coming abroad to do the same so called menial jobs to survive. Why do you think many bankers are japaaing from Nigeria? As time goes by, they are able to adapt and find their footing. Life abroad, though not bread and butter, is easy as long as you have a steady source of income and you do not expose yourself to unnecessary credit. At least I can speak for myself.

Stop being a liar. You didnt even see one Regional Manager, you saw Regional Managers of banks. Softly softly, comrade

Do you know how much a regional manager in Nigeria earns to be doing menial jobs abroad? You guys can lie.

A regional manager of banks can only come abroad to shop on the high street.

Don't you know most banks use contract staff ? Those are the lowly paid and those are the ones you are referring to. The real bankers with perks are comfortable, not to talk of digital bankers who you don't see at all. They are behind the scene, driving all the operations of the banks digitally. They make good cash.

Silentgroper:
hahaha .. funny .. if A. I would takeover anything first.. it's you guys job in the tech sector ...


Let me see how A. I would takeover the job of a forklifter .. maybe they'd have to build a robotic A. I. For that ...

Tech guys (the dev) are like gods. They create magic and the magic works wonders.

If only you know what happens behind the hood. Dev team builds AI and are responsible for the maintenance and upgrade.

It's you guys that will be replaced. There are AI that will be performing medical surgeries and make intelligent decisions during the medical procedures real time. You are talking of forklifters, so easy to replace. You will see robot that has AI capabilities doing your work efficiently and seamlessly. It was on CNN two days ago ( you can also Google) that AI is revolutionising auditing and accounting jobs. That task that takes you a week to deliver will be processed by Ai and delivered within a nano seconds.

You better catch up on the news. The era is changing so fast.

Olympuse:
But you are yet to admit my assertion that AI has really put a dent on the Tech bubble of post covid period and it's about to burst. And coupled with the fact that the competition out there is fierce. It's getting tougher

I admitted to your assertion that post covid bubble for IT will be gone but other sectors will be badly affected.

Ask yourself what caused the post covid bubble - many people who did not have the IT fundamentals sneaked into IT. They go into area of IT that is not so steep and these are the people that do not even understand what a "class" in IT means or how the tech ecosystem connects.

Many roles were created which did not require you to be steep in IT. Tech gets bloated.

These are the people that would be swept away. Tech will hold on to individuals with solid skill sets.

I just told you I rejected an 800 GBP per day job. I am negotiating for a 1000 GBP per day and we are still on it. I work on AI projects across the continents as well.

If you want to go into tech, understand the fundamental, have interest to create magic , not for the money alone.

A lot of companies want to build AI for their processes. The opportunities are bigger than they have always been, if you are thoroughly skilled!

Silentgroper:
lol . Leave am .. na tech A. I go first flood before any other profession

I am sorry, you do not have technical depth.

Goggle how companies are looking for technical IT resource world wide. I get jobs more than I can handle.

Just google it.

Who builds AI?

Olympuse:
But you will agree with me that there are some areas of tech that AI is gradually taking over like web development and graphics design. Have you heard of Devin AI? I know AI can't organize interviews but since it makes work easier why would companies spend much money on recruiting juniors when a senior Dev can just do the work of two more devs.

Yes. AI affects tech but not like the other sectors. It is tech people that still build AI and maintain it.

Regarding the DEVIN AI, it is hyped. I have watched the video and read vastly about it.

The best that can happen to Devin is it will be another tool that developers will leverage on. If you are into codes, you will understand what I am saying.

Codes is not about knocking things together. It is about understanding the technical requirements , arrange it to align with global best practices to meet up with the use case. You can't just feed Devin AI the requirements and deploy the generated code into the production environment. A programmer will still type the requirements one by one into devin, read the generated codes, understand it, refactor it.

It will only make a developer to become lazier and more efficient as he does not need to generate the algorithm by himself.

No organisation will feed generated codes by Devin AI into the production environment. You are safer being in tech than any other profession.

Usefulsense:
I'm sure you do not consider a man of 48 as a child. The decision I took is not only in my best interest but also I'm my offsprings best interest.

I started conversing with Australians the first day I landed.
I regret nothing. A friend of mine, an accountant too, list his job in Nigeria. He has not been able to find another in two years.

He is a taxi driver now. He kept wishing he migrated like me when he had money.

It reeks of inferiority complex when you write that "you started conversing with Australians when you first landed".

And does it mean they don't lose jobs in Australia and struggle badly to get another for months ?

Olympuse:
As if that AI isn't coming for tech jobs too, infact they have started feeling it in the Tech world with the number layoffs and downsizing.

That is where you miss it.

AI will enable most people in tech to be more efficient. AI cant sit in a meeting to gather technical requirements but developers can leverage on AI to write his scripts.

An experienced coders will even refactor codes written by AI because it is not reusable and not the best for the use case.

Hook yourself into tech before the train leaves, if you can.

faithfull18:
Nigerians and unnecessary arguments, the OP made his decision and doesn't regret anything, You too make yours, simple!

The Op should have stuck to his story.

He should not have been intoxicated by the facade of his experience by hurling insults on Nigerians and Nigeria just because his children have started speaking through the nose

femi4:
Tech isn't for every brain. It's for those gifted in that area

I recognised this your assertion and I stated in my write up. I said if you can, the time to jump in is now.

The threat of AI is so real and fast coming

CodeTemplar:
that's the advantage of adding value to the system over just chasing money. We chase money in Nigeria unlike advanced minds who create so much value, everyone (virtually) can afford basic valuable things.

Don't tell me you believe what the op stated that a cleaner in Australia lives a better life than a regional manager in Zenith bank.

That's totally hogwash my friend

Princedapace:
Omo, when I see the wahala people go thru in the name of this JAPA, i just know that it cant be me. I just want to love the freedom tech gives me. Na so my guy moved to the UK for the past 3 years now, he has been working in a warehouse, very stressful job, works multiple night shifts daily. Infact, he laments badly. For those who can do such stress, I wish them the best. I cant. Na why i switched to tech since. I can even sleep and wake up and decide to drive out and rest when I want to.
I mean, god bless tech. If I decide to move out today, i can and will not need to do all these wahala. Imagine all the wahala he had to do just to settle in Australia for life wey we all go still die las las
Tech remains the best choice I made. Writing codes is fun and building real apps are amazing. And no body go ask me to work for warehouse or do night shifts or do multiple jobs to pay bills.
A friend wey dey UK, another one, where she works, they dont allow them use phones. She always kind of sneak to use her phone. Oh lord, it cant be me. I cant

People do not know the power tech holds, and the capabilities it could unleash.

I was just offered a job of 800 GBP per day in the UK from the country I currently reside and I still rejected it, despite the fact that I will be working remotely as a senior software developer cum software architect.

Sadly, like I earlier stated, AI will take over all these menial jobs and office jobs people still do. This is the time to look in the direction of tech, if you can, to be relevant in the tsunami era that is coming. I understand not everyone can do tech, but if you can, do not hesitate please. It will hit a lot of people like an horror movie what is about to happen and western nations are so vulnerable.

Usefulsense:
For me measure of progress is different.
A toilet cleaner in Australia lives a much better life than the regional manager of Zenith bank in Nigeria.

You just ruined your narration with the bolded.

I refrained from joining this thread but once I read the bolded, I had to jump in.

While I respect your decision, just know that you are still being intoxicated with the neon lights you see at Night. You ruined your story when you got carried away and started to look condescending on Nigeria and the citizens - the same country you lived for 48 years with petrol and dollar subsidy

Oyinbos do not choose to work at 80 years old - they need that income to survive, pay bill and mortgages. Their pension is not enough to cater for all their needs and like every human, they want more out of life. The latest model cars you see on their roads are being paid for instalmentally, if you don't fulfill your monthly payment, the car will be taken from you. It is all a bubble!

By the time you spend like one year over there, you will need more out of life. You want to travel to other countries for vacation, you want to take family out to a decent restaurant to eat, you want to sight seeing etc. As it stands, you cannot do all that. You are focused on savings while you live below the poverty line. All those will fade away with time.

Please do not ever repeat the bolded anywhere. You claimed to have been a financial controller in Nigeria, I would expect you to sound as such or is this a way to make yourself feel better after the significant demotion experienced in Australia?. Just wondering.

Most of you don't see the Armageddon that is fast approaching, in the next 2 to 3 years, Artificial Intelligence would have matured and millions of people would lose their jobs, and the effects would be felt mostly in the western nations. Machines are coming to replace you and they are working day and night to make it happen. It is not a matter of IF again, but a matter of WHEN !!

It amazes me when you step feet into a foreign land and you begin to look down on your own country. That mentality needs to change please.

Whoever is deceiving this dude that he will be a Nigeria president oneday is not being nice.

The margin of loss can only get wider.

DeltaBachelor:
Japa route is always the better choice. Nigeria is becoming unbecoming for us all. Looking for IELTS runs to facilitate your smooth Japa progress, check my siggy for details . Cheers !!!!

You have ruined the life of many Nurses that relocated to UK and the US with your silly runs - they have been discovered and now facing prison time and deportations.

Aint you ashamed to be advertising this disgusting service in the public ?

@Seun Osewa, time to ban this dude for life, along with his IP address.

004gist:
There is a dentist crisis in the UK currently. If you are a dentist in Nigeria, just use any means to be in the UK. You are highly sought after. So many agencies, even the NHS, are looking for them to hand over sponsorship to them. Even the UK government is offering them £20,000 to set up practice in certain areas.

Someone I know wanted to pull a tooth and had to wait a month to get it done. Forget the hype of nurses.

Haven't you heard of more than a year waiting time in the NHS ?

My friend had to fly to Nigeria for his medical procedure to be done asap.

yahoodetector:
I thought it was N1200...or e don dey fall again?

If Tinubu can bring the naira below N700 where he met it after he came in...he will have my respect.

If he further brings it down to the N182 it was when Jonathan left, I would defend him anywhere with my life and become a die-hard Ronuite.

But guess what...HE CAN'T!!

If you go to the Mallam, you will get it for N 1250.

Mallams are creating a buffer against risk since naira keeps strengthening.

They don't want to buy today and run at a loss tomorrow.

Shame on the woman.

We are not saying you should not claim asylum but manufacturing story to tarnish the image of Nigeria is a no no.

This makes the international communities to look down on the country going by the degree of disgusting stories that these asylum seekers manufacture .

Others even add credibilities to their fake stories by paying journalist to publish their stories in some of these mainstream media. When they get over there, they start to present the published stories as pieces of evidence.

Dont believe some of the gory stories you read in the Nigeria Newspapers, they are so fake, just like this woman story.

TotoIsGud4boy:
I was so broke and hungry in 2015, my mom was very sick too and we barely had enough to eat, we ate once a day… every-time I called my gf she was busy and couldn’t hang out with me, this is a girl I met when she was 16, I was 19 then, I bought her first android smartphone for her when she turned 18 it was around 50k as at then, she is so beautiful guys used to drive to her moms shop just to meet her cos she came from a humble background as well… fast forward to few months later my guys started telling me rumors that he saw my babe coming out of some yahoo boys lodge that he received intel that some guys Bleep my babe and that she’s now a freak .. I almost fought with my guy that day as I told him if he repeated such statement again that I’ll remove his teeth…

Weeks past and the evidence became glaring, I’ll call my babe she’s always busy.. next thing she has left to Abuja or Lagos and she was following a yahoo boy… I logged to her old Instagram that she logged to my phone and I saw my babe now does 4nal sex… I almost cried..

I became so depressed but I didn’t lose hope and started learning programming, I started getting jobs but it was not enough money so i joined blackHat and started HACKING , CCing, , CATFISHING, And CARTING….I can’t tell you what I did on telegram but my biggest cash out was $250k, I bought my mom a house and a nice Lexus and my sister now studying in the UK… I got a new gf now and I started several chain of businesses.

Don’t judge yahoo boys, some of us are good guys, life is just crazy sometimes, don’t knock off our hustle. Btw my Ex now broke asf.. she stay stalking me on IG… I sent her 100k last month tho cos if I love a bih, it’s forever.

@Seun Osewa, see a shameless Yahoo boy using your platform to advertise and recruit others into his fold.

This post ought to be deleted and the account banned for life ,along with the IP.

This is an animal in human form.

You have undoubtedly exaggerated your ill gotten wealth but for attempting to even fleece others, you will cry and no help will come for you. All those who shared in your ill gotten wealth will suffer as well, as they continue to flex over other people's sweat.

Silly, dirty boy.

I am a staunch supporter of Tinubu but I wont agree with this.

If there has to be a surgcal changes, we need to do away with government subsidising Hajj or Jerusalem.

Nigeria is a secular state according to the constitution.

All the pains endure by the majority of Nigerians are being wasted on Hajj which has added zero value to Nigeria.

Subsidy needs to be removed in any form of pilgrimage.

I sing his praise when he does well and give him knock when he performs low. I know this is a veiled attempt to court the support of the Northerners.

I do not support this.

Congratulations to all Nigerians - More foreign exchange earned through service provisioning.

This is a welcome development.

Virgin Atlantic and BA in the mud.

Gatwick suits me, Croydon is my hood in the UK.

OGUAF:
Just to add to what you've said

There's something called Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital for banks. Its used to caculate their capital adequacy ratio. Basically Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital divided by their risk weighted assets( primarily the loans they have issued using customers deposits)gives you their capital adequacy ratio

Recapitalisation of banks has to do mainly with their "Tier 1 capital which covers shareholders equity(retained earnings, paid in capital etc) on their balanced sheet.

While Tier 2 capital is subordinated capital e.g debts and bonds they raised.

The most likely way out for banks is to issue new shares or merge

You know your onions but most people can't relate to your writeup. Too technical.

If you can use plain, simple English to explain for them to relate to.

Bye bye keystone, sterling , fidelity and fcmb!!!

Banks are classified into different tiers.

Don't lump them together.

We all know our universities dash all these celebrities certificates without making them work for them.

He wont attend classes. He wont write any exam. He will dictate his own scores after money exchanges hands.

It is like issuing honorary certificates.

2700

lol...sorry 1270 naiira I meant

tunjijones:
What have U pple been doing with the ones you have collected

Using it to subsidise every dollar and each litre of petrol you bought in the time past

KWAM had hiis own problem but we just realised where the drummer spent his savings - using it to fly babes from Nigeria to Paris.

How would he build a house?

Donaldoni:
Dollar is NGN1,265/USD1 on ByBit

Its a fact. I negotiated hard to change at 1270 naira and the mallam told me that he was taking risk self.

I changed dollar today at 1270 naira.

If you have dollars, go and change it before there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.

The response to the question is not clear cut.

Some who have children regret having them. So having children doesn't mean you can't live a life of regrets.

No one can forsee the future.
