yes he attended CSU after 25 years you have come out of your rabbit hole to say he indeed was a CSU graduate - that’s fishy

Next phase - IF Tinubu was indeed born in
1952 as be claimed, then he was 27 years old when he graduated in 1979.. HOW COME HE DID NOT SERVE NYSC?

We have seen people resign because of this and yet we are overlooking this every critical
component of National significance which many graduates die for and die because just to make sure they are recorded as being patriotic

A simple NYSC certificate would have layed all this to rest - no one is even talking about this anymore because there is too much controversy with this man rhat no one remembers or talks about his other little mischievous acts that are enough to disqualify him IF Nigeria was a lawful country

It’s just saying Presidents Goodluck Jonathan or Umaru YarAdua did not serve NYSC - this same Tinubu will make sure he drags them to court to get them out of office

Tinubu is too illegitimate- he has gone to borrow a classmate just like he did with the fake bishops before the elections

cheap propaganda- Oga show us pictures

talk is very very cheap

Me too I was class mates with Bill CLinton at

I know people making $150k a year & It is not uncommon at all.

You are obviously struggling in America to make such statements.

Even in Nigeria, people make as much as $40k or $70k a year for Remote workers in different fields.

On that Upwork thread, people get full-time jobs from past freelance clients on Motion Graphic Designs etc & they get moved to full-time.

So relax.

From this explanation, It's better to just save $200k in 10 years towards housing fund than $432,000 in 20 years. Makes much more sense. A job of $150k per annum in US should be able to get you to save $200k in 5 - 6 years.
Dude, stop all this unrealistic talks here
the way you are talking na prison dey hungry u
$150k a year ? it is 1 out of every 500 Americans

that makes that type of money AND why do
you think you can make that money
look here have u been to the US before ?
or you are just typing nonsense from your

A senator of the USA makes $174,000 year

who be your papa for America? 🤨

mortgage is what husband and wife can put

must have a good and stable job to be able
to do that - all this ona naija hotty body talk

think this way you will surely break the law in the US and you go go prison

take life easy ok ? life na jeje

to save $200k in 10 years no be beans even if you make $100k a month - life will
overwhelm u hear and that money 💰 go disappear from your hand

if u live in a poor zip code where rent is $700
a month u can’t get a job of $100k a year


for you to get $100k a year job you should be living in places where people bought homes mot apartments complexes- if your live in poor area or poor zip code - where rent is $800 - na job of $45k a year maximum na him go dey cal you - this is one dirty secret about America no

The only advantage to living in Nigeria FOR MEN is the availability of cheap sex provided by impoverished and terrorized females. NOTHING ELSE. Which means there's nothing for a woman to gain from choosing Nigeria over migration to the Anglo-West.



You have no idea the of the WIDE DISPARITY in earnings potential between the Anglo-West and Nigeria, or maybe you're doing the usual Nigeria thing of sticking to a stubborn argument out of pride.

Do you know how much it costs to provide childcare or daycare in Nigeria? Many old men and women here in the USA earn over $400 per week watching 3 or 4 little kids while the parents are at work. I've used such a person for my own kids. I myself used to babysit kids FOR FREE in my earlier days in America, I didn't even charge.

My mother just sent out $5K = ₦4.5 million to some relatives and friends in Nigeria. Just one person got ₦1 million. How many people in Nigeria have ever or will ever have ₦1 million in their back account? When I read Nigerians denigrating US & UK na laugh I go de laugh grin Actually I think the chasm is just beyond their ability digest without going insane with jealousy.

Don't blame the Nigerian diaspora, blame Buhari...you voted for him.

But i want to ask, cant one build a house from scratch in abroad, just the way we use to do it back home.
yes you can- just that it is more convenient and less costly to buy than build - because the builders have contracts with the construction company because they are building on multiple sites at the same time so these construction companies get good deals to reduce the cost - just like wholesale and retail trade- you pay less when you buy wholesale than when you buy retail

Wnat is mortgage pls?
it is the monthly payment you pay to the lender who borrowed you money to buy a property

if you live in the western world 🌎 especially USA and you want to buy a home, most likely and this is true of 99.99% of Americans - they don’t have the cash to buy that home. Say it cost $200,000 - you will need financing

so you go to a bank for instance- they run your credit report to see how credit worthy you are— once you get that clearance based on your financial history in the US, you are loaned the money - to buy the home - your income amd current financial liabilities are extremely considered when granting you such loans because these are peoples money put in the back as savings that they are lending to you the borrower

A cash deposit of about 10% of that $200,000 will be required from you as down payment - that’s $20,000

So once you pay that - then the remaining $180,000 will be spread out for for say 20 to 20 years and you will be paying monthly and that comes with interest too

so $180,000 spread out for 20 years will be like $750 but that’s just straight calculation - if you add compound interest on the loan to it and other fees like state and county taxes -community association fees -property insurance - all that 9 yards - or will be about $1,800 monthly - and solute to pay - say you miss payment in a given period for that 20 years for any of the payments highlighted above put you in a foreclosure situation where your house can be taken away from you.

so if you were able to pay off that house in
20 years assuming everything went well - you will end up paying $432,000 of your money over 20 years which is different from the advertised price of $200k that was sold to you 20 years earlier - let me stop here because I am not a Financial Advisor or into Raal Estate - this is just my pedestrian knowledge of answering your question

company will hire you as an accountant or

even a grocery store will never hire you

as a clerk IF the basis of their hiring you

is because you claim to be a graduate and

there is a major issue on your certificate

as regards your gender - they will not

accept that, moreso being a black person

they will kick you out before you say Jack

Robinson - America is the home of

background check and a company like

Mobil will never hire anyone with such

discrepancy in their result or certificate

So it’s a fact now that TINUBU never worked

a professional job in the US because you

can’t be a MALE and parading a FEMALE

and then in the 70’s being

transgender was a strange thing, unlike 2day

that anyone accused of perjury, conspiracy

Nigeria where airport officials will push you to the back of the line and jump over themselves to cater to Oyibo or Asians.

that is why you an immigrant can afford to work a low paying job and send your kids to university and build houses in Nigeria and people born in America will never have anything to their name in all their years in life - becasue you came to AMERICA - and you are seeing opportunity where those born here see challenges and excuses - same for the Chinese and LEBANESE who fly in broke and end up making millions in Nigeria- it is a universal principle - when something is too available to you - you procrastinate and you make excuses, BUT when you pay for it, when you strive to achieve it, you value it - I use to have a friend who made up his mind to return to Nigeria after just staying 6 months here in America - one word by his father kept him going - "who will you tell in Nigeria you went to America and you returned empty handed, son, please stay there and make it, please" - he labored for years - with very little to show for it, while his younger brother was raking in millions as a procurement contractor in Port Harcourt.

I've lived in the USA for over 30 years. This is my real name, I have nothing to hide. I started out working illegally as a fast food cook. I know what I'm writing about. You can believe whatever you want, just remember that even poor migrants contribute to the $10 to $25 billion in remittances to Nigeria from abroad.

Have a good night.
Bro, if not that I do not want to expose or embarrass some guys i know in naija by exposing their identities, I will tell you of some guys making cool millions of dollars annually in Nigeria - these are guys (Nigerians) black like me and you doing legit hussles in Lagos, Abuja, Kano etc who earn what you make a year in America in 2 weeks in Naija - they are not into drugs or yahoo - just BUYING and SELLING merchandize in that same naija you are encouraging people to flee - I DO NOT WANT TO MENTION THEIR NAMES BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT LIKE THAT PUBLICITY - these are up to 20 guys who are not more than 40 years old. in that same naija you and I left to come to America

- Guy, even if you do not have any business sense - IN that LAGOS, if you channel N2M to sell food - dont cook ooo - just be the one collecting the money from customers who came to eat - employ 5 calabar cooks to specialize on just jollof rice ---- eba and egusi soup only - 3 stewards to serve customers food in an area that moves (busy) - just be focused and be a good manager of your workers and people friendly - and let the food be tasty - dude - in 1 year, you will be making at least 3 MILLION a month as profit -- do you know how much people pay to eat a day in Lagos ? imagine IF you have 84 customers a day-- average of 7 customers an hour (BETWEEN 10am to 10PM - 12 HOURS ) who eat an average of N700 a plate of food - that is N70K A DAY --- we are not even talking of drinks oooo - thats roughly N1.5 MILLION a month- IF YOU CAN PLOUGH BACK just N400K MONTHLY - and lets say the rest go into paying salaries and food stuff and you are resilient - you will have N5M at the end of the year to modernise the location you are right now and then open another branch in town - PUT YOUR WIFE THERE TO BE COLLECTING THE MONEY - while you employ good cooks and stewards to run the place while she watches

And before you bring out calculator to start calculating what N2M is in dollars, do not forget, N2M will do for you in Nigeria what $3,500 will do for you in America and even more - For example - your annual house rent in a fairly nice area for a 2 bedroom flat in Lagos will BE like N2M to N2.5M a year ----- thats like $3,000 abi? that same money is like your 2 and half month rent in America - you see the difference

While this man selling food in Lagos will be building his house in Nigeria - in his village, in the city or capital of his home state, living life to the fullest with his family and friends in the land of his birth, that man making $2,500 after paying bills will not be able to save $400 (FACT)

Rent - $1,000 AVERAGE
Light - $150 Average
Cable TV + Internet - $150 AVERAGE
Car insurance $150 average
car notes $400 average
Gas $120 average
Food + Grocery $400 average (that is IF you are the miserly shopper who is shrewed)
Oga - if you venture say you want to hang out with friends to drink beer or go on a date -
YOU WILL END UP TAKING A PAY DAY LOAN ----- IN BETWEEN PAY PERIODS

When you make $2,500 net (after taxes and deductions) monthly, it means you are earning
between $20 - $22 an hour at least - How many Nigerians that are less than 3 years in America
make such money ? Am talking about vast majority of all these japa enthusiast here on nairaland ?

Many will end up in AFRO SHOP making $300 a week and having a room mate and will sot be able to
save $200 a month sef - no matter how austere they live or how hard they try - because the salary
will not be constant when a naija or african person is your Boss - and he or she can sack u anytime
threatening you with immigration - we hear all that stories all the time from the grapevine

Make I stop here - please stop selling false hope to these people ..... Let them know the truth and IF THEY
DECIDE TO GO, FINE- at least they have been warned of what awaits them there.

There's very, very few people that won't do better for themselves by migrating from Nigeria to the USA, even as an illegal immigrant. This I know from loooong experience and observation. I've explained all this in detail in previous comments. Anyone living in Nigeria who earns ₦500K per month thinks they're on top of the world and why won't they when only 0.4% of Nigerians earn ₦200K per month and 97.7% of banks accounts have less than ₦500K.

If ₦500K is such a big deal, then for most people, moving to any Anglo-Western country is a very good move....₦500K is less than $600, just think about it. Even 30 years ago working illegally as a restaurant cook, I was sending THOUSANDS of dollars to Nigeria several times a year and yes I worked multiple jobs and had a roommate. Today a restaurant cook starts at $11/hr in my corner of North Carolina. That's at least $1200 per month after tax. It's a start, with time most people move on to better jobs but as I've repeatedly explained, I know people who've worked these low skill jobs for over 25 years and they own homes, multiple cars, eat well and put their children through university. I've literally seen it happen for several families from beginning to present day...from marriage up till today in this USA. Nigeria can't provide such a lifestyle for unskilled workers.

As for skilled workers, well doctors max salary in Nigeria can never be more than ₦1million/month. Move that same doctor to the USA and the LOWEST TAKE HOME PAY for a brand new doctor, after tax, is over $7,000 per month and I'm being very conservative. I'm intimately familiar with the oil & gas industry, the salary of engineers basically TRIPLES when they move from Nigeria to here. Even 10% of their earnings can be saved and translates to an amount that VERY FEW people can earn in Nigeria.

As for your comment on house ownership, well in Nigeria the government can take your house for ANY REASON, even if you pay every levy and tax and anything else because the land belongs to them. Not only that, ANYONE with enough money can induce the police or other government officials to start contesting your ownership of landed property in Nigeria. I've seen this and I know you've seen it too,

But it's OK, in any case Nigerians are voting with their feet. If the UK offered free entry to all Nigerians, half the population would flee and you know it. There's good reason for that. The 400% rise in the price of a bag of rice since 2014 is enough.

Good Luck to Nigerians.
your mind is made with your salary biases and conversion to dollars - without factoring in the standard of living - IT IS WELL Bro, whatever floats your boat- that same Nigeria you are fleeing and advising others to leave - a LEBANESE boy of 21 years is arriving Murtala Mohammed International Airport Lagos from Beirut, Lebanon tonite seeking the Nigerian dream of large easy market, less restrictions, friendly tax system

He has just $1,000 in his pocket, (less than N1m) He is going to scavenge the streets of Nigeria - look for trade opportunities, loopholes in our system to exploit, start a trade in Kano, Abuja or Lagos - be resilient - focused and he will be worth $5 million in 10 years from today - trading and doing business in Nigeria- Where we see challenges in Nigeria, these Lebanese, Indians, and Chinese see massive opportunities.

FYI - Chinese are buying up cassava farms in Edo and Ekiti States. processing Garri - packaging it and sending it to EUROPE and AMERICA making hundreds of millions of dollars annually and we are running away to go to Europe and buy the same Garri produced by Chinese in our own country - no be JUJU be that ? grin grin

And you will have a Nigerian doctor fleeing Nigeria - will spend 5 years of his life writing licensing exams in the US - Finally gets it, finds his feet after a few odd postings in a few years to rural America where no American doctor wants to work - and then he goes for Masters and as soon as he gets the American degree - he amasses liabilities of a home he can barely afford (the I DON ARRIVE MENTALITY) in a high brow area and gets sunk in debt living with the joneses. And in 30 years, he can not boast of $150k in his account - BEFORE YOU ARGUE with me, I have 5 doctors in my family - all here in AMERICA; Uncles, Aunties, Cousins - I observe them at close quarters - they are not better off than some of us doing regular middle class jobs because they have REGULAR money issues too like us - I cant mention here - FACT!!!

just watch the video below - a fellow Nigerian doctor (not a keyboard warrior on nairaland who types based on emotions - watch!! ENJOY cool

you guys think its all about the verdict of Obi won or he did not win - Far from it.

Obi wants certain things to be established by the supreme court and that judgement will shape Nigeria going forward'

Most of us wey be US citizens dey wait make supreme court tell us say foreign citizenship doesnt matter to be Nigeria's president

Then you will see an army of very qualified Nigerians with money coming from the US and UK to run for president in 2027

so I am very focused on what the supreme court will say - IF citizenship of foreign country expires when the foreign passport XPAYA grin

Do not bother telling them again. Let them go and experience it. They want to become billionaires overnight, they will become trillionaire self. I have stopped telling them to lower their expectations.
Exactly! grin

You will like horror movies. Such a gory narrative angry
God wants me to tell millions of fo ols the truth about the western world - it is amazing how people still get fooled in 2023 with the
availability of the internet so they can do their research - they choose to believe what they want to believe and take the plunge and later
blame village people. IF you have no means of income in Nigeria and nothing - nothing and a chance to japa comes, please japa BUT
kindly moderate your expectations to avoid a colossal heart break when u finally make it here.

BUT - BUT - BUT If you have figured out a way to make money in Nigeria, please I beg you with the name of Jisos, do not throw that away for the unknown- --
below is a video about poverty in America -

I wish I was happier than I thought here in canada , you won’t understand until you come in here.
no mind am - ONLY if they know how many Nigerians commit suicide overseas yearly out of depression cry
