My Fiancée just touchdown Melbourne like 3 weeks, trust me I’ve heard enough from her in this time frame, people mostly have drivers due to deteriorating health conditions or the expertise of the drivers to maneuver during times of dangers, if this two conditions are absent there’ll be less private driving jobs. As for the wages your pocket too heavy for naija pay na doc

Can’t believe I never visit that city, I for watch Man utd vs Crystal Palace but bad timing.

Thank you!
This picture below is what I'm trying to warn people of.
Many people abroad here are part of the reasons we have things like these happening.

Afrodoc, raumdeuter, chic2pimp, obianojazz. Ibime
Please you guys should do well to give a balanced view of things.

As you guys are sharing success stories and positive anecdotes, also do well to share the negative anecdotes.

Not one of you have told stories of the people who you know went there and failed.
Please don't end up misleading people by mistake.
Give the 2 sides of the story.

Obviously there will be people pushed abroad by their parents who were naturally lazy and are not used to working.
There’s a guy here that still relies on his parent for tuition and rent.
We had to force him this year to get a job as he started becoming suicidal that he is a failure, his parent always compare him to his successful brother in the US and all that.
I’ll say having the right mentality is a huge factor and that’ll take you far.
I got my first job in construction through some naija guys working there and they were saying I’ll quit in one week since I look like Ajebo compared to them.
Wrong, I woke up 4:30am for 9months to catch the bus before buying my first car.
Then I transitioned to another sector where I got paid way more for doing less
Now I’m even earning less than my previous job since I’m just a graduate but it gets better with experience
My British boss is pushing me to become a CPA that there are lots of opportunities in the firm for me and now I’m an associate member of CPA
If you choose to be lazy abroad, at least you’ll have constant light and good security
My housemate got a job as a civil engineer, a former broke guy in Ibadan helping his mom with her printing business.
Western society changes life bro, you don’t understand the power of dollars

afrodoc2:
I mean how come he is a nurse here and not a doctor. How long has he been here?

Oh He’s trying to write some exams but was waiting on his wife to arrive.
He should be four years in this country now and did his masters at Flinders Uni.

afrodoc2:
What happened to the guy?

Abia state government owed him salary for months, then he met my landlord back then and that’s how he started his Australia journey.

Unlimited22:
I like Oz. The only issue na say y'all are at the end of the world lmao

Also you're stingy with scholarships. European countries be like who dey find who go go school.


I saw one post on Twitter some days ago about a Canadian school whose entire LLM class were Nigerians.

As na Island country, they have a lot of control on people entering and they no want too much people.
But school is a sure route as long as one is willing to pay.

Wike go hear an if Amaechi ever becomes president

Unlimited22:
One of my chiefs left for Canny at the end of May. E no even tell anybody. Guyman take normal casual leave, next thing I see DM for Twitter with person wey dey shine teeth for Pearson Airport.
He is going to have to hustle his way into the system, as African medical degrees aren't accepted there, but whenever he talks with me he never fails To be bubbly despite the long road ahead. Why? Because of the system that works, and how his kids will be in it.


This is a family man who's at least 10 years older than I am. And you're telling me, a young single doctor to sit here and do what?


I agree not everyone can leave, but if you have the will and/or means, alaye as you're queuing for PVC, register for IELTS.

Met one Nigerian doctor who’s now a nurse here
The system frustrated him, now baba is enjoying life and planning his next move

donjazet:
What do you say to this man who japa'd at all cost?

There are more Italians cleaning toilets sef so what you on about
I’m sure he didn’t go through study route as well
Lastly, Nigerians abroad even contribute more than majority back home.
I was surprised when I discovered my previous Nigerian Landlord built this school in his community where most of the kids go for free.
This dude came here with nothing and his story changed
Works for the state government in Australia and keeps climbing up the ladder.

afrodoc2:
When somebody said Japa Club was a selfish club i replied that the selfish person is the one that is abroad and is telling others to remain in Nigeria and improve the country while he roams round Alberta, Canada looking for free healthcare card.

The heart of man is deceitful and desperately wicked.

Me no selfish sha
I encourage everyone that cares to listen and have the means to run.
I resigned from my job back then in Nigeria and chased japa judiciously and I’ve never regretted it
My cousin saw soft life and ran from Brazil to this place, now he’s in Perth
I kept on encouraging one married woman and her husband on this Nairaland to come over and their life changed for the best.
People talk about how life abroad is expensive and all that but don’t know one week wage covers most expenses

Some people wicked sha

Most People that hate japa were either bounced by a western country or don’t have the means

LegendHero:
Declare a vote of no confidence on Adamu.

They should rally loyal NWC members.

What he did is a coup on APC inner democracy. It must not be allowed to stand.

Like Buhari and APC has ever respected democracy
People that recruit thugs to chase out peaceful protesters

diggz:
Amen o!

As you don paint finish, I fit come next your house boy sir

nihilistjnr:
$18.50 per hour is just above minimum wage in some states.

Minimum wage in Nigeria is N30k per MONTH.

1$ = 600 Naira.

Compare and contrast the plight of minimum wage earners in both countries then.

Are you a salary earner?

You forget people mostly earn way above those minimum wages abroad and earn less in Nigeria

In other news, if you don’t like earning your money right… stay in Nigeria

Bro I have heard life experiences from people who went and returned. A cousin of ours who have B S from an American university returned last December after completion of his education and gave us first hand account of how Nigerians, blacks are going through hard times there. When you are broke in America you will realize how easy you have it in Nigeria. If you go abroad you will see people that sold their inheritance to travel and they are stuck. If there are 100 people abroad , maybe 5 may be successful but the other 95 will be full of regrets. The high cost of living there negates any perceived positive.

So is he making it now in Nigeria or came back to feed on dad’s money and now blaming the system.
I also know someone still feeding off his dad’s money here in Australia as rich pikkin while many of us have settled and worried whether to buy or build a house

Godx:
Wrong. Large percentage of people who leave Nigeria are struggling abroad.

Yeah I see a lot of them in Australia struggling with delegate money they earn in just two to three months in their fancy cars and nice appartments.
Choose your struggle

Godx:
Access to better Health care.......... Do you know how much for ambulance in America? Do you know how much to give birth In America? Just Google it and then come back to me. The prices will kill you.


Education.........Go and check how even after 20yrs after graduation many people are still paying of their students loan.


Quality of living.........This one na pure lie. People that are paying over 30k dollars minimum a year on rent. Baba rest


America na hype job.

America is not the only western nation and I’ll rather pay student loans for years in yankee than remain in naija.
I paid more in tuition than most yankee schools and I don’t owe school shishi
I visited the doc for full body checkup where I paid 70$ and I’ll be claiming that back
99% percent of people who migrate to a western country speak positively about their decision because they know how things were back home.
Be it bank managers or regular civil servants

Oasis007:


Preachers of Japaism should be clear with their Sermon. If you wanna japa and don’t wanna regret it, try America, Canada and/or Europe only.

Don't try Arab Countries, only very few Nigerians are legally doing well in UAE, majority doing well in UAE are into Frauds, Drugs, and illicit Affairs.

If you ain't a financial Expert, IT/Tech Guru, Medical Practitioner, internationally certified Teacher.... avoid any Gulf Country.

Funny but Australia should top your list

Havertz10:
Nigeria is actually a poor country but you people aren’t ready for that conversation

You mean with all those resources, we shouldn’t be better than we currently are?

larride:
Nobody can screen Tinubu out of the primaries. Not even Buhari.

Hopefully not, he’ll be the best from APC

raumdeuter:
This primary na breakfast and cashout

As least money go circulate small

airmark:
Is it true that Tinubu has been screened out?

I hope not cos that’ll bring lots of pains and sufferings to his supporters

People saying Peter Obi didn’t do anything, man killed the idea you could loot under him which is our biggest problem today.
Go check out the amount of good government hospitals and inter community roads linking villages.
Thousands upon thousands of workers are confident they’ll get paid monthly and the money is regularly circulated in the economy.
That’s why the buying power of an Anambra will still be one of the highest in Nigeria.
Imagine if we had rivers money and we’ve been prudent
How many bank robberies happen in Anambra or how many people kill for money ritual nowadays in Anambra

Ibime:
The only candidate I see who has performed an economic miracle at any level that can even be remotely compared to Nigeria is Tinubu

What Tinubu did in Lagos is still unprecedented and 100 times better than any other Naija politician who just collect state allocation and spend on white elephant projects while increasing their state debts. Tinubu is the only Governor whose investments generate ROI commensurate with the investment.

And Naija problem is still 100 times bigger than him because he can never have a solution to insecurity and a mono economy

Same thing I told my mate today, Aside making Lagos rich… Tinubu is the only one that successfully ruled a state that benefitted all indigenes with minimal to no bigotry
That’s why anyone can come in and claim Lagos state…. Problem is, he looks sick and hopefully APC hasn’t changed him to one heartless person

Ibunkun1:
Wow! Congrats

Cheers bro
