Simply put Op does not know what 7figures means or he is just high on some cheap shyte

God bless you - this japa thing going on now is more from inferiority complex than the motives they state openly

My friend is in the US- I feel so inferior to him whenever he visits - his skin is nice looking- he speaks phonetics - people respect him

No I must japa - this is the mentality fueling 99% of japa - they forget that friend does not have 10% of what they have

he visited Nigeria borrowing to come intimidate you and later return to pay huge debts and suffer working long hours with zero savings

BUT those feeling inferior and feeling intimidated have house of their own and car- all payed for no debt YET they feel intimidated

by someone who pays through his nose monthly for the next 20 to 30 years for mortgage and even when he pays if OFF - the house

can be taken away from him someday if he fails to pay property taxes, insurance or association fees - and you in Nigeria, you do not

suffer such inconveniences much like those living abroad - let me stop for now - A word they say is enough for the wise!

dalaman:
100 million naira is close to 120k dollars. [b]Considering that 90% of Nigerians living in Europe, Canada, America and Australia are only able to save between 1000 to 2000 dollars monthly. [/b]You can calculate it and see how mong it will take then to save up to 120k dollars. That will be like 6 -10 years.

how many Americans have $10,000 savings a year ? please see for yourself below - and $10,000 a year = $833 a month - and this is averagely

ooo, which includes billionaire and janitors ------you are the people fueling this japa moves like abroad is heaven - IF indeed abroad is heaven

your Presido wont sell powder in US 2 survive ---and you guys are here talking about saving 1k to 2k monthly -? wetin ona dey smoke sef?

WHEN PEOPLE TELL YOU LIES about how easy life is abroad, HOW you can save $100k in 6 months - GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND!!!
In a country of 300 million people - 87.4% of the citizens = 262.2million do not have $10,000 saved a year - then you coming from naija. no papers, cocoyam accent, no US work history, no address, fresh off the boat- or rather airplane, zero US mannerism- want to save $100k a year- no be juju be that ? - this is the attitude of greed and unrealistic ambition that has made Nigeria a cesspit of corruption because people live beyond their means and think life overseas is a cake walk- yeye people, ona go see pepper, make ona japa- we dey wait to receive ona especially those who want to make $1m a month in yankee mind you the figures below is not per month oo - it is per year!!!

Zyxsc:
I'm a software engineer working remotely from Nigeria. I earn a 7-figure monthly salary.
With my salary only (at an average exchange rate of 850/$), it would take me about 6.6 years to save up 100 million, provided I have zero dependents and had to cater only for myself throughout those years. It's quite a naive way to project this though because a lot of things can happen along those years. But it still gives an idealistic comparison base.

So my question goes to Nigerians currently living or have lived abroad. Can you tell us the country, the job title, and how long it would take to save up to NGN100 milliion, assuming you have zero dependents and have to cater for only yourself. Do remember to factor in taxes if any and other living expenses for yourself alone

The reason for my question is not far-fetched. I'm just wondering if it's worth it to sell ones' properties worth milliions just to JAPA and go start over again. Please, refrain from dragging the country's situation into your answer or any other reason to JAPA. Kindly focus on answering the question as best as possible.

Thanks.

you are not making sense at all - I am sorry to say- IF indeed you are making 7 figures remotely working in Nigeria - why d you wan to Japa?

What exactly are you escaping from ? you think abroad is bed of roses ? you better seat your butt down and keep buying lands and

properties from those fo ols selling their lands and properties to travel to the world of unknown (japa) only to realize they have been sold

a dream. While you are planning to japa, an army of Chinese and Lebanese youths are moving into your country to take over

WHEN you and those who "blindly" japa - return in 10- 20 years from now, you will hardly recognize your country as it will be

RECOLONIZED by new "economic" - IMPERIALISTs - whom you japa-ed and left the country for. INSTEAD of you to make money in

Nigeria, train other youths too to make money remotely in Nigeria - and travel overseas for vacations and live the best life ever in the

Land of your birth - you are joining those heading for "modern slavery and racist subjugation" all in the name of "I live abroad" - hmmm

I have lived almost 30 years in America - IF I am in your position right now 30 years ago, with what you earn, and knowing what I know

today about the western world 30 years ago, I will not japa... God sees my heart I am speaking the truth, and not to deceive you...


The grass they say - is always greener on the other side - ---- who no go, no know -- IT IS WELL

BItt:
Majorly because they speak one general language and they are years older than the country Nigeria.

Also [b]I noticed Africans hardly think towards improvements [/b]or perhaps, we have a lackluster attitude

you are right about us not thinking forward towards improvement, BUT it is deliberate! -

Most Africans, especially Nigerians have an "I better pass you" mentality - aka "what I can do, you can't do or where I can go, you cant go or what I can enjoy, you can't enjoy it" - and it is born out of deep inferiority complex - and once it starts, it is sustained by the insatiable desire to feel superior to one's peers, and create a class of oppressors, committing all manner of impunity to fuel that sadistic desire of "I have arrived"

This is why our politicians steal and invest the money abroad, because they hate to see even the people they stole from pay to enjoy little comforts and pleasures of life..

AWONEYAN:
Mortal men should not speak like the immortal God. Though I am not a fan of Obi. But I feel Reno is overstepping his human boundaries

I pity his poor kids, family members and even those not related to him who will have to deal with the consequences of bearing that name

"OMOKRI" in future as Reno is gathering hatred for them for life ------- btw RENO, did Peter Obi f v ck YOUR WIFE ?

That is the only reason a man can be so obsessed with hate for another man!

Kilometres:
Hon. Justice David Hundeyin has given the social media judgement long time ago

and forfeiture is not a punishment for crime ? when custom seize your goods, is it because they hate you or you broke the

law of contraband goods? when Tinubu money was seized, was it because they hate him because he is very ugly or because

he broke the law of narcotics and many laundering ?

WE WILL MATCH TO THE SUPREME COURT - even if we do not get justice, let the SUPREME court tell us now if having dual citizenship

does not disqualify one from becoming President or a State Governor -- that alone will encourage a lot of us with kpali in the diaspora

to come with our UK/US/Canadian citizenship to come run for President and Governor in Nigeria -- so I want Supreme court

to deliver that judgement - we in the diaspora are watching

Father4all:
He is becoming too sarcastic. Boko Haram vice president. Your dad's on the seat are number

The pride that goes before the fall --------- he will be humbled soon ---- To Supreme Court we go!!!!!!!

Nobody told us it will be easy, fighting the institutions of criminality is a task that must be done --- TINUBU must vacate ASO ROCK

PEPT is not the SUPREME COURT --------- that is why there is a supreme court --- they want us to be tired - WE WONT

THE SUPREME COURT HAS A JUDGEMENT ON FORFEITURE, THE SUPREME COURT HAS A JUDGEMENT ON 25% ON FCT

we will go there and let's watch the supreme court say their own past judgement is now bad judgement because of TINUBU

The institution of criminality must be expunged and we ARE MATCHING FORWARD --- it is not easy BUT Victory is ours!!!!!

monkey hold bread and butter - he cant eat it, because no be him food

the nigerian hold rotten banana - he cant eat it - no be him food


make monkey collect him rotten banana - so he can give the bread and butter to the nigerian

so there can be peace and progress - it's about putting square pegs in square holes!!!

TINUBU is occupying the office of President against the people's wish - until that is reversed by the court, Nigeria is lame duck!

Its all motion, no movement we are going to be revolving in one a cycle for the next 4-8 years if TINUBU is kept in office

Tony kabaka and his elder brother Bob izua hav kill more souls in Edo state than boko haram in Borno all in the name of cultism n politics.

...... and their brother Kapuepue

kingthreat:
E get level wey you go just tire for the matter.
The killings in Benin too much. Even women are becoming collateral damage.
The way cultism has ravaged places like Benin has to be studied on why that nonsense lifestyle should be squashed at all costs.
But our government won't do that. Cultists are the number one enforcers/riggers recruited during elections.

i heard some powerful traditional rulers are also cultist in edo state

DSS AND POLICE FULL THIS FORUM DEY ARREST PEOPLE!

oya make dem arrest everybody na - wetin everyone dey fear for sef? who no go die for this world ?

Shehu SHAGARI, (President) Adisa AKINLOYE (NPN Party Chairman) Justice Ovie Whiskey (FEDECO Chairman) all those that rigged the elections of August 1983 (40 years ago) are all dead now, no one killed them, nature took them out --- BECAUSE no one lives forever

while I am alive I will speak the truth - no one lives forever, just that we all wont go back to our creator on the same day - but every soul that breathes today owes a debt of death - everyone... no one will escape it, both the rich, powerful and famous, the poor and downtrodden!!!

I hate nansense..... na so Martin Luther King keep quiet na him America good today? the same America every Nigerian wants to
japa to today? people fought the system to make it conducive for black people to live there in peace and prosper - Let's speak to make Nigeria better to live in too for the sake of future generations.

Love56743:
Only a fool will think tinubu can be kick out of Aso rock, them nor born any justice well to remove tinubu from office

IF you were alive on December 31, 1983, exactly 40 years ago - you will not wish for what you are saying right now

It was this kind of "Machiavellian" mentality that made a certain Brigadier Sanni Abacha announce on air - "Fellow Nigerians"

The NPN of President Shehu Shagari rigged the elections through their main man at FEDECO (the INEC) of those days -

Justice Ovie Whiskey - and they wrote results for Nigerians to see - EVEN Nnamdi Azikiwe (Great Dr. ZiK of Africa) of the NPP

lost in Anambra State - with C.C. Onoh of the NPN emerging as Governor over the people's favorite Jim Nwobodo of the NPP - we all knew that

was a lie then. Even Alhaji Waziri Ibrahim of the GNPP lost in Borno his home state to NPN, as Sheik Jarma of the NPN became Governor.

--- Chief Awolowo lost his territory of Ondo State and Oyo State --- I remember Akin Omoboriowo (Ondo) and Omololu Olunloyo (Oyo)

emerging as NPN governors in these traditional Awolowo strongholds -------- and SHAGARI and his NPN gang of election riggers

(just like the APC of today) threw it in our faces then -- "yes we rigged, cry to hell" ---- and that Abacha announcement came


Former President Goodluck Jonathan has warned for the right thing to be done to save our democracy from all this rascality

let those who have ears, let them hear -- Those who fail to learn rom history are doomed to repeat it

Trustmea:
But Shauibu was loyal na even to the extent of fighting other political antagonist of Obaseki just to prove to the Governor he is loyal. This their latest fight is really surprising. However lesson is to be learnt here never carry another person problem for head, never inherit another person enemy inherit ur own. See shuaibu that was fighting oshomole and wike just because of this same Obaseki that's showing him shege now. Always stay on the sideline and watch. Shuaibu really Bleep up and I know he is regretting his actions by now

not true - Shaibu was not loyal, and come to think of it, RULE 101 in swimming is - study the tide and know where the current flow

Shaibu must have been a political neophyte to dream of succeeding Obaseki when the logic does not add up

since 1999 - Lucky Igbinedion ruled for 8 years as Governor [EDO SOUTH] -------> May 1999 - May 2007
Oserhiemen Osunbor ruled for 1.5 years as Governor [EDO CENTRAL] -----> May 2007 - Nov 2008
Adams Oshiomole ruled for 8 years as Governor [EDO NORTH] -------> Nov 2008 - Nov 2016
Godwin Obaseki WILL rule for 8 years as Governor [EDO SOUTH] -------> Nov 2016 - Nov 2024

So if Shaibu gets in and rule, when will the "marginalized' people of EDO CENTRAL whose son ruled for only 1.5 years in 24 years come in
as Governor? This is the reason I said - Shaibu should have applied the RULE 101 above that he was going to swim against the tide IF he aspires to take over from his Boss Obaseki because the current in the river is flowing towards Edo Central

Lastly - Shaibu is a paper weight politician who is very greedy. A whole deputy Governor could not deliver his own Ward and Local Government in Edo North in his own re-election in 2020, YET, wants to run as Governor in 2024? - you think PDP will be so foolish to hand over that governorship flag to such a light weight ? that will be a recipe for disaster! Moreso, PDP natural home in Edo State politics is Edo Central - so make Shaibu go rest.. If I was him, I will work with OBASEKI - finish well, and go and rest for the next 8 years and re-strategize, to take over in Edo in 2032 IF the Lord spares his life.

Phillip Shaibu is a billionaire. He has been in government since 2003 - (19 years) make him go rest

10 years as Member, Edo State House of Assembly
2 years as Member House of Representatives
7 years now as Deputy Governor ---- and counting

CorperKola:
You should be thankful i just insulted you a little instead of calling for your arrest and prosecution for treason.

if there is anyone who shoulld go to jail for treason - it is you and your Chicago powder hawking lord and personal savior

may your children live the life he has lived - awww JEREMIAH OYENIYI OBAFEMI AWOLOWO must be turning in his grave

knowing that "some" of his "supposed" proud and noble tribesmen are neck deep in endorsing an individual tainted with

so much criminal antecedents - just for a morsel of bread, they flood the cyberspace -without shame, typing nonsense!!!

famology:
You expect shaibu to defeat oshiomhole in etsako west? Let's be realistic please.

BUT Oshomole was not on the ballot, it was Shaibu - that should have counted for something - since he was the one in office with

the weight of state resources and all the apparatus of state security at his disposal just like Wike in Rivers .. is that not a realistic expectation?

tefund:
You go plan could naw and stop. ranting..

Whether Civilian, or Military, a Failure will still remain a Failure.

YOU ARE RIGHT - we have failed for 24 years under democracy, let's try another thing biko - all die na die

Parachoko:
I have no Pity for Shuaibu

He Broke Law 1

Law 1 is a very important Law. He should have learn from Asiwaju/Buhari Scenerio.

Do not mind them complaining - Didnt they see how Osinbajo was very loyal to Buhari ? why cant Shaibu be loyal to Obaseki ?

Cant they see the way Goodluck Jonathan was loyal to the Late Alameiseigha ? even when he was asked to take over, he refused

RULE #1 - Never outshine the master - HE BROKE THAT RULE and he will head to political oblivion

even Oshionhole - a critic of Obaseki told Shaibu to go be loyal to his Boss because Odubu was very loyal to him as deputy governor

--- The same Shaibu that could not deliver his own local government for PDP in his re-election in 2020 ? I hate nansense

Timoleon:
The question to ask is why will they take over when they already feeding fat?

the take over wont happen with the top generals - it should come from those in the rank of Colonels and Brigadiers who have the burning passion to effect a change i just hope the country can be salvaged because the civilian rulers have governed with impunity and they are not listening to the cry of the masses!

CorperKola:
You have to be a clown and an obidient
Abacha alone has stolen more than all the senators combined since 1999
You are just looking for a way to justify your delusion

must you insult in your response? why not counter my propositions with facts? are you so shallow minded that you must insult to eek out relevance? are you so rationally helpless that you cant entertain contrary opinion ? i really sympathize with you

talking about facts - how much was crude oil sold when Abacha was in office ? was it more than $25 per barrel ? how much was it sold under civilian rule - taking the highs and lows - averaging $85 per barrel - what have we done with it in 24 solid years of democracy?

Do not forget Nigeria was under heavy sanctions under ABACHA - we were even selling the oil at cheaper rate through unconventional (non OPEC) means yet, PTF (Petroleum Trust Fund) was busy constructing roads and building major infrastructures across the country without borrowing one kobo from anywhere - because no one will borrow money to a government under sanctions

You can talk about Abacha loot now because he is no longer in Office - what about the $16 BILLION meant to give Nigerians light under PDP?

What about the $100 Billion debt the APC has plunged Nigeria into since 2015 with nothing to show for it? na Abacha loot wey no reach

$5 Billion in 5 whole years dey pain you.... The one our Senator alone have collected since 1999 is almost $75 Billion

rintileri:
Democracy is almost dead in Nigeria

how is this different from military rule ? even the military are not this brazen to arrest anyone who criticize them at state level

the military governors were more careful not to draw the complaints of major stakeholders in the state - because once those stakeholders

complain to the military head of state in abuja - one of these 2 things will surely happen

1. either you are redeployed to the barracks

OR

2. IF you are a major asset to the military regime, you will be sent to another state - with severe warning never to repeat that same mistake


but who is going to transfer Dapo Abiodun to another state? he remains there until 2027 pilfering the state with impunity

Timoleon:
For those thinking a coup will be soon in Nigeria. Our military is part of the corruption (especially the senior officers). They are a part and parcel of the rot. They are benefiting largely from the system. It’s hard to complain with a mouthful.

yes, its 2 things that will happen when the military take over

(1) the cost of governance will be reduced - 20 Supreme Military Council Members as legislative arm -

COMPARED to 109 senators AND 435 House of Reps members collecting insane "TOKENS" and "PRAYERS" every given opportunity

so you can not compare 20 Military Legislooters to 544 Civilian Legislooters


(2) there will be security - the military government abhors insecurity, not because they they love the country more than other Nigerians '

but simply because it puts their own survival on shaky grounds - if INSECURITY is allowed, it can lead to another coup or counter coup

which ends the existing regime. More so, when insecurity thrives, they can mistake it for a coup attempt - to they do not tolerate it


..... and INSECURITY is the major reason why food prices are off the roof today, people can not go to farm due to herdsmen

so please give us the MILITARY - it is the lesser evil - afterall - kidnaping will ends with offenders being tried quickly at special military

tribunals and executed summarily so other would-be kidnappers will get the memo fast


IF Nigeria today has security and people can buy food easily - who cares whoever occupies ASO ROCK? na who chop belleful and sleep

well for night dey get power shout democracy oooooo - IF you know the hundreds of thousands of lives wasted under this democracy

in Nigeria hennnn - compared to the Military era- you will know say democracy for naija na scam !!!!

mariovito:
What the Bleep is 50B? Is that money for recharge card, catfish and thanks for coming?

We should be looking at a sum in the neighborhood of 1 trillion.

$1 trillion ?, I do not know - I am not saying you are wrong - they may have stolen even more than that - but what am saying is what they

have $50 Billion physically in their houses here in Nigeria - NOT all they have and NOT including what they have in their foreign accounts

I mean $50 Billion NOT N50 Billion

Wizardslayer:
Why do ECOWAS allow themselves be western puppets. Look at the way they're being remote controlled.

Wtf

all of the leaders in ecowas are being blackmailed by the the foreign countries where the so called leaders have their bank accounts

its a case of do what i want or i will tell your country men what you embezzled and hid in my country so your citizens can kick you out

wher e is the military for goodness sakes

ShoeWorld1:
APC is bad doesn't make PDP better.
Things are getting worse in this country. We need a savior to salvage the situation.

we need a KU in the mould of JJ Rawlings ASAP

We saw the money in the house of Ali Bongo Odimba son's house - that reminds me of the money found in the house of Benson Alegbe

- the Speaker of defunct Bendel State House of Assembly on January 3, 1984 - It was a water tank full of money. That was 1984 where

a very good paying job in Nigeria was N550 a month - The (now) Late Benson Alegbe had almost N9 Million loaded on a water tank.

IF Army takes over today in Nigeria - I am very sure the physical cash they will recover from the house of politicians will be up to

$50 Billion - Enough to repair all the refineries and build one new refinery in addition - THE BLACK MAN IS CURSED WITH MISMANAGEMENT

DaTruths:
Bitter Pill must be administered for the common Nigerians right?
But The National Assembly and the Judicial council will be sharing Billions amongst themselves?


What are the steps made by Tinubu to reduce the cost of Governance so far?
Wike the other approved 825 Billion Naira for mere compensation of Abuja indigenes,which we all know is for embezzlement, what is Bitter pill about that?

i never knew i would ever regret voting for Asiwaju

you were warned one full year before the elections but you chose to be blinded by tribal hate and/or religious sentiments

IF a Presidential re-run is conducted this moment- you will still vote for Asiwahungry. [FACT] so please spare us the sermons!
