while everybody is entitle to their thesis about Nigeria Vs Abroad, the problem here is simple. Most Nigerian are not patriotic and are cowards. The situation in Nigeria is the result of the aforementioned. most of us will not do the things we do abroad as stepping stone. Eg, no body will do security to earn feeding money then attend school to obtain higher degree. Nobody will clean old peoples ass to earn Nursing degree. Nobody will work in a Mc D. All these are what things most ppl do when they arrive US initially. until we start doing things in order, life will continues to be hard for black people PERIOD. Oyinbos love their land and will not run when things are not going smooth. they will face it and over come their issue. How many recession has passed in US? every ten years, US experiences recession, you don't see them running for the airport like black ppl do

Everything you listed above is exactly why Nigeria is a third shiit hole. There's no law,order and organization in Nigeria. In Nigeria,anyone can just do whatever they want ,You can buy any land and build a house without regulations and without taxes.You can refuse to pay your employees, You can kill anyone and go scot-free because there are no investigations ,fingerprint nor ID database(ID database also keeps track of population without conducting a census). There are no observation towers (like CN tower or Seattle space needle)in coastal cities to checkmate sea piracy ,human trafficking and to shoot missiles at the sea pirates from the tower . Nigerian education is based on theory instead of practicals in order to utilize the acquired skills in society. most Nigerians are malnourished due to the fact most Nigerian foods are carbs and starch . Nigerian environment is mostly dirty and polluted and induces numerous cases of kidney failure . Nigeria's life expectancy is just 50( a person can just fall sick and die suddenly.)
Only immigrants feel the way you do,those who are born and raised in a developed country are used to the system such as putting on your sit belt,obeying traffic,paying mortgage & insurance, and have lots of friends ,go to the beach ,movies,camping,skiing,skating,NBA game,Hockey game,Base ball game, etc. There are numerous homeless shelters ,clothing banks,Subsidized housing and food-banks for the poor to get free food. There are 4 interesting varieties of seasons instead of just 2 hazy and boring season. there's more freedom of self expression.
A Norwegian or American immigrant would also fill out of place in a hell hole like Nigeria. Personally,I can not live in Nigeria for more than 1 month as the atmosphere is primitive ,backward and discouraging.
In all due honesty,the only thing I like about Nigeria is afang soup and fufu (I think that soup is delicious and people from around the world would like it),the Adamawa,Plateau,and Taraba Hills and lakes are beautiful. that's it!

So you feel minimum wage in Yankee will allow you live a comfortable life. That money you're calculating have you factored in tax and the costs of renting accomodation? At the end of the day you might be left with just enough to survive until the next month.

50k or 60k a month in Nigeria will guarantee you a better life in some places than $1240 a month will give you in the United States.

DO YOU REALISE HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO MAKE IT IN NIGERIA?

tai2:
Lol. When I wrote this piece. It was to help the people who want to travel by all means and end up suffering abroad. However some have taken it to imply that I am currently in that state of limbo. Far from it. I live a quite comfortable life abroad but I know what it took and I know how many misguided Nigerians I see everyday looking for how to survive or living on the wrong side of the law just to stay behind.

If I didn't have the money to live the life. I would be gone in a month.

Some live their lives just to be constantly on the run from the police or immigration officials, meanwhile their mates in Nigeria have gotten themselves small jobs and moved ahead whether in civil service or private sector.

A banker in Nigeria will be earning small money, dump it all and run to the U.S only to end up in poor circumstances due to failure to plan. Success is easier in some foreign countries than others and by learning how to seek it appropriately. No be to end up for Poland or Kazakstan in the name of searching for foreign visa and end up suicidal or frustrated.

This piece is for potential travellers in the foreign section. All those looking to leave the shores of Nigeria to make it to foreign lands (obodo oyibo) at all and any cost in order to leave behind what they perceive to be the frustration and lack of progress in Nigeria. Only to land in strange destinations and find out all is not as it seems, with no means of return or imprisonment for crime or debt or even suicide and death. Read and be warned.

1. Cost

This is the number one disadvantage with obodo oyibo. That mouth watering salary you were told you would earn abroad i.e. anywhere from $2000 to $10,000 a month and you were converting its equivalent to Naira, lol, better throw away those calculations.

Getting the job or the money is one thing in the first place. Saving enough is another. Everything is expensive. So don’t think you will “manage” on $200 a month and then send the rest to Nigeria and build a palace to rival that of the richest man in your village.

In obodo oyibo, you must pay for everything, electricity, water, tax, food, plumbers, and carpenters. There is no Nigerian “oga abeg them never pay me, I dey wait for money”. Fail to pay your bills and your electricity will be cut off. If you live in a land of cold, the cold may kill you or if you live in a hot country, you may die of heat stroke and people may not find you until the smell of your body disturbs your neighbors or your landlord remembers you haven’t paid rent.

It is not Nigeria, where you squat for free in one brother or friends house and eat free food, with nobody ever wondering when you are going to get a job or get your own house. In obodo oyibo, your blood brother will throw you out if you are not contributing to the bills.

The more savings you come with while you do whatever you intend to do to make money (school, find a job etc.), the better off you are. Otherwise be prepared to suffer when your money runs out, as it will. Two million naira is nothing. Obodo oyibo will swallow that money in one month or three days if you are not careful and spit you out like orange seeds.

Stupid mentality of the 21st century man, spits

His people in nigeria will know that he is a taxi driver. They shouldn't have shown his pics.

ayd91:
That SUCKS.
I am not homophobic but I'll be damned if I tolerate two men kissing and smooching in an area I control. I don't even feel comfy when men and women do it.
