They all have permanent residency abroad, not just residence. If you have residency abroad, you're AUTOMATICALLY on those countries' tax book. So they don't care about taxes. They have lawyers that handle their taxes.

Bro, there is no real difference between the rich and the poor. They're just normal people like you and me. Multiply your lifestyle by thousands, and you'll come close to the lifestyle of the super rich.

You're only going and coming because you can't afford the expenses involved in living there continuously and because you have businesses to attend to here. These guys have set up money making machines. They're literally as free as the air, financially.

They don't live here. They only work here. The only thing that brings them here is their business, family and friends.
Rebuke:

What?! Bros, please just shut this crap yhu are typing here.

How many rich Nigerians do yhu even know and where do yhu live that yhu are running yhur mouth?

Let me ask you? Why would these people who have most of their investments and family in Nigeria be living permanently abroad? Is it because of the extreme weather conditions over there? Or the kind of loneliness that would be following them everywhere? In abroad, they're nobody which nobody gives shiit about but in Nigeria, they're Kings who attract attention everywhere and everyday. They have no reason whatsoever to stay abroad, just vacation and nothing more.
It is the poor that worship abroad because they believe menial jobs that they struggle for in Nigeria are plentifully available for them over there. The rich just go and come back

Why will somebody move back to Nigeria from America?

Is the person mad?
Why would you be a second class citizen in a foreign land?
You don’t appreciate your country until you face the reality of life abroad.
Despite the unfriendly weather which is quite nasty and unpredictable, Many diasporan are unable to return home due to shame and reproach of being a failure.
They came home to realised their friends and peers at home aren’t doing bad as such !
You might be interested to know that most Nigerians abroad take menial jobs and work as a Security guard and a Care giver (care of the elderly).Very few got their dream job!
People returns back home after realising their home country is quite better in terms of sustainability and decent peace !
You don’t appreciate what you have until you lose it !

wee you keep kwayet and stop running your mouth. rich people do not live abroad. rich people love power, there is no power abroad. rich people love using their money to get free access but abroad nobody cares about your money. so these rich guys dont like living abroad. living abroad is for poor people who cant get the comforts of life they want in nigeria but abroad they get it at a cheaper more affordable price. but for rich people ? they can afford all the luxuries in naija so they are not going abroad for luxuries. go to a rich mans house in naija electricity and AC is running 24 7. they have solar energy as well as these extra HUGEEEEEEE mikano generators and they are never out of power. theree estates have tarred road and looks like beverley hills. they have police escorts ( they cant have that abroad ) and they have all the money to bully people around in naija ( you cant bully anyone abroad with money ). so why would a rich man want to live where he has no power ? SEE THE PROBLEM HERE IS YOU ARE USING YOUR POOR MAN MENTALITY AND OUTLOOK TO JUDGE A RICH MANS ACTIONS. and in that you are wrong. to you who is suffering you see abroad like heaven. to these rich men ? abroad is a medical trip. THATS IT. THEIR DOCTORS ARE ABROAD. NOTHING ELSE. so please stop thinking like a poor man

Get rich first then japa. its only when you lose what you have is the only time you appreciate what you have. get me ? there are no utopias or heaven on earth. the man with utopia or heaven is the man with enough money to buffer the harsh realities of this life irrespective of location. the suffering abroad may not be hunger but it is spiritual suffering. SPIRITUAL SUFFERING IS MORE PAINFUL THAN PHYSICAL SUFFERING. MOST NIGERIANS ABROAD OVER THE AGE OF 40 SUFFER FROM DEPRESSION

Well, I don't regret it. Though I'm on int'l employment status plus int'l voluntary setting and I'm sure I have more than such opportunities (that's if we say they are opportunities in d first place).
If Indians can make sacrifices in d past which today placed their medicare among d best and affordable in d world, so why can't we?

It's my choice anyways and i owe nobody any explanation to that.

Awesome. I love your spirit. May God bless all your hard work and sacrifice. Your family and community is blessed to have someone like you,. You will go far, just stay calm and happy. Best wishes. #rarenigerian

Have you ever asked yourself why 9ja celebs have not all relocated to US?.... Why haven't they relocated already? ... Simply because they earn millions here.

The travel agent preaching to you that America is heaven on earth. Why haven't he yet relocated already. Abi he no go like enjoy the heaven? He will live large in Lagos every year after collecting millions from his ma.gas

What I observed is that Nigerians criticizes the country too harshly unlike citizens of other African countries. For example, if quarter of arm robbery,car snatching, Kidnapping and general gun violence going on in South Africa were to happen in Southern Nigeria by now Japa will be trending all-over. But you will hardly hears South Africans talking of Japa despite the rate of gun violence in their country.

Herdsmen will strike in one rural community in Ogun, while someone living in Lekki will say he wants to Japa due to insecurity Lol.

Africa need me. Nigeria need me.
I personally requested to serve (NYSC) in d north where others find less appealing to them.
Even when I'm called to serve within Africa at anytime I choose like Liberia, S.leone and Nigeria.
I believe we lack access to good medicare and I'm obligated to render d service within my capacity.

It's a choice.

Wow!! Really?!!!! Awesome! This is basically me!!!, I want to give back to my motherland. Africa needs me too and I will Give her my best especially when I'm Young. May God help both of us and others who are in the minority (hopefully that changes positively soon) to develop Africa. It's not an easy road though. But it's worth it and our reward is in God's hands. God bless you so much. Keep going.

bro, dont listen to these people, the truth is that rich nigerians actually do live in nigeria. they have their own estates in banana island and chevron. there is this estate in chevron where that okoronkwo billionaire lives, if you enter this estate you will think you are in beverley hills. all the houses have pools and jacuzzi and big parking for at least 10 cars, the houses are huge and scientific with many gadgets. the gates are electric and they open with buttons. all their doors open with BUTTONS. everything in the house is opened with a button. the streets in the estate is paved by german companies and there is nice trees on the side of the road. BRO DONT BELIEVE THAT NONSENSE THAT RICH MEN LIVE ABROAD. THE ONLY ONES WHO LIVE ABROAD ARE THE ONES WITH MEDICAL PROBLEMS WHO HAVE TO BE CLOSE TO THEIR ABROAD DOCTORS. THE HEALTHY ONES LIVE IN BILLION NAIRA HOUSE ESTATES IN CHEVRON LEKKI
Well... if they are getting all the luxuries that are abroad in nigeria that would make sense..

What i meant is living in the same streets or neigborhoods with ordinary nigerians. Like the guy claimed. Obviously they are living in ngeria like they would live abroad. There are no difference living in an expensive electric gated house near the beach in nigeria and living along Miami Beach

So many came back to start business, not everyone have enough brains or will to become an entrepreneur, some are meant to.be workers till they die...most prefer going to America for trips and business, not everyone like being a bloody immigrant or second class citizen grin

On a serious note, we need more Nigerians to travel out, and send back foreign payments, so Nigeria traveling out is a good thing, since our population is huge.

Does he not deserve the beating he was given over there? That's a normal thing that could happen to anyone, anywhere. Does that mean no security there?

Do yhu even know the meaning of security? No security here, what we have here is injustice and oppression playing out.
