Ẹwa agọnyin is the main reason I refused to stay in the U.S.

Anyone residing around Magodo Phase 2 Gate - Shangisha area, should know one Togolese woman wey dey sell ẹwa agọnyin close to the Estate gate.

That woman's ẹwa is the reason I left Baltimore back to Naija.

... sounds funny but very true. The heart wants what the heart wants.

Naija till I die!
As funny as it sounds, I believe you.

America should conduct a IQ test when granting a visa to immigrants .Thats one way to stop stupid morons from bringing down the IQ levels of America.
If america deports this slowpoke ,he will start speaking in tongues and becomes overnight gay to stop deportation .
Well said, US shouldn't have granted visa for low sighted being like him. Very stupid view. He should come to Nigeria where even if you escape those mentioned above in Nigeria your unsecured life nko? Banditry, kidnapping, most importantly Fulani/Farmers crisis + boko boys issue. I implore him to come home and stop being low sightedness about comparing his shameful country with advance modern world like US. I rest my case.

A US-based Nigerian give reasons why Nigeria is better than the US. Do you agree with him?

A US-based Nigerian give reasons why Nigeria is better than the US.

- Can anyone in the US use $1 for breakfast? No! But in Nigeria, 500 will give you breakfast and lunch.

- Insurance in the US is $280 and that is almost100, 000
monthly. In Nigeria we don’t pay half of that

https://twitter.com/CoolFMNigeria/status/1379699416890810370?s=19

- Majority of people's monthly house rent (self-Contained apartment) in the USA is $1,000 and above... and that is your own 2 year's rent.

-Says he pays 40,000 monthly for phone bills or else they will block his SIM. Whereas MTN can be there for months without recharge.

https://twitter.com/CoolFMNigeria/status/1379700408420012034?s=19

- When last did you work on Saturday and Sunday? This I do compulsorily and on regular basis.

Don't get me wrong, the US is better than Nigeria,
depending on which angle you are viewing it.
But many people in Nigeria live a more fulfilled life than
those in America

https://twitter.com/CoolFMNigeria/status/1379700771135098881?s=19

If you are black they will kneel on you, and you need many jobs to truly live well.

Is there anything you don’t agree with in what he
said?

I know someone (a female..friend of my babe) actually leaving the U.S to come back to Nigeria. Actually she is in Nigeria now.

She prefers Naija because she says U.S is not what people think. Especially with racism and all that.

And she works for a Fortune 500 company. You all know the name because you use it everyday. So no she isn't one of those broke ones.

But she will work remotely from Naija tho.

If not for jobs I am sure many will come back home.

Lol. And that is why she came back. You think I wouldn't do the same thing if given the choice. Well, maybe not come back to Nigeria per se. God forbid. But maybe Ghana. Do you know how far your income will go in a dilapidated country like Nigeria if you earn dollars?

Another point is...

In Nigeria, people can get to the mall without having a fear of being shot at, it’s not so in America..

In Nigeria, politicians can steal money and run away with it, example Alison Madueke, such can never happen in America..
Rubish, can you go to the mall at 2 Am in Nigeria? if robbers don't shoot you the Police will.
JW Bush/Aliboton? make any sense?

Even before i opened the thraed, i knew this would be the reply of POVERTY Stricken Nigerians on this forum. There are many of them.

The answer is this. He has gone, he has gone. He will return back to Nigeria as soon as he raises enough capital to be self employed.

All he posted are pure facts. Besides for one to compare The US with Nigeria, you must have spent reasonable time(Years) in both places.

But broke azz niggaz who have never had the opportunity to compare will always diss Nigeria. I really hope you'all will be given Visa so that you can get the hell out of Naija.
The guy angered them by saying 500 naira can get you a meal in Nigeria, when most of them hardly even can afford garri let alone groundnut a day, so they are angry . The op. Should direct his write up to middle class and the rich.

that she chooses to come back to Niggeria doesnt mean living in Niggeria is better. Its her choice.. lets look at statistics. What is the number of people actually leaving and not coming back versus the number of of people leaving and actually coming back ( like your friend) ?
Of course I have other questions I would like to ask her but let's start with the bolded

Become nuisances committing crimes up and down.

It's actually very easy to leave Nigeria as an educated person but these fool's who can't even sort out ordinary visa will be cursing Nigeria

When they get there and realize how hard they have to work to make a $ they no turn to drugs and yahoo and further kill the image of the country.

Living in Nigeria is better in many instances. And because people don't come back as much does not mean they wouldn't like to.

It's just like someone in Nigeria at a job they hate and they complain about constantly but yet don't leave because of fear or inability to get a better one. And people then ask them why don't they leave that job.

This was why I made the last statement in my earlier comment.

Many would prefer U.S as a vacation spot but as for daily living and interactions and freedom, people would prefer their home country.

That's why many comfortable and rich people live in Nigeria. Its mostly the uncomfortable that want to escape. And there is no problem in that.

Many people do not like the taxation, loneliness, racism e.t.c that they experience over there.

I don't like calling people idiots. But this is the most idiotic thing someone will ever write.

Can someone tell him that minimum wage in the US is $7.50/hour (and they are clamouring to increase it) but it is 15 cents/hour in Nigeria and there is no hope of increment?

Nigerians are like goat..too stubborn . two different kind of struggel, the struggle in nigeria is mostly economical and peer pressure struggle. Not too many opportunites and una like to dey oppress una self. So d next man wan better pass im neighbour. in US , it economical and mental, becasue as an african man in the west , the moment u get a foothold in the system with ur paers/citizenship. U will understand that the whole system is not designed for u. ITs designed for u to be at the bottom. Thats y many ppl dying of depression and the bills upon bills (with interest).Everyday is another bill and dem no dey miss . 1st of the month u don get like 3 or 4 bills waiting for payment and dem get interst charges if u dont pay on day 1.

T

that 7.50/hr na suffer head money for america, u will struggle to pay ur house rent of minimum 1000$ per month, wat of if u get wife and pickin that means una go need upgrade to atleast 2 bed room. that is 1500$ per month. 7.50 per hr at 160 hrs a month = 1200$

and u go still pay tax untop that 7.50 and then other things like insurance for health( which was compuslory during obama time) and if u get car, u must get car insurance maybe 100$ per month.
On top ur 1200 u go pay various tax ( federal,state, social security) maybe ur money go remain 700$. u neva pay car and health insurance and u get house rent


The more u work or earn the more tax u pay. u go come calculate am say less work =same amount
If police stop u randomly and them check say u know get insurance . Dem charge u to court and then u will pay heavy fine of 1000$ at least if dem no tow ur car join.
7.50

Re: Why Nigeria Is Better Than The US - US-Based Nigerian Gives Reasons by lightest(m): 2:06pm On Apr 07, 2021
The Op that wrote this is idiotic. He forgot to tell us how much he earns per hour and how much Nigerian earn per hour.

He is only doing currency convertion comparison. What I will tell anybody leaving in Nigeria right now is that if u have ur ways, its better u leave and when leaving do ur calculations very well.

I just migrate to UK some months ago and after spending all the spendables, bills food, and some dash to Nigeria, I can tell u am still saving close to 300k Nigerian naira.

Though the hustle is real my people but its still far better that Naija.

Naija dey change once destiny.

Note: u must make sure u have papers in UK but US and Canada enter there u go survive

My piece of advice

Joke apart you can live better in Nigeria than USA without a job...you can imagine you won't be able to make or receive calls if you are broke and can't afford to pay for it while in Nigeria even if he recharge#100 once in a year your line will be on for you.
If you no fit pay for house rent you can find an empty land to construct a "batcher"..or you relocate to your village and be eating free food while I the USA na prison or on the next flight back to the land you are running away from, and trust me, your joy will know no bounds when you breath the fresh air of your father's land.
