I know a single naija IT girl, she did house warming in May this year, she hasn’t spent 4years abroad but bought her house and paid full mortgage... she paid all.
While uncle that has been here for 15years is still paying house mortgage.
She does 3jobs no time , just raking in money, Na she we dey follow.
Trump open the door for us ( before it used to be only Indians & Chinese chupping the money ) but God bless Trump he shook the table and we blacky can chup too.
While you guys (old school ) are busy wasting time, trying to become citizens, marry or go to uni for MSc do all sort of arrangee just to get into system. We here focusing on the money.
If I do 2jobs from comfort of my home and earn what I ought to earn in 10 yrs in 5yrs, why not
After all we work now to play later

Let me conclude
Everybody hear ooh ... according to our abroad uncle and Pearl1910...
abroad no easy



When you say she bought a house.. Do you mean a single family house, townhouse, or Condo ..... Prices of homes varies from state to state.....

Now places like Texas, Arizona, Atlanta, Las Vegas . homes are cheaper in those areas... But they pay less in those states........

So which state did she buy a house and she was able to pay full mortgage .. What type of house did she buy etc ..

Now the average cost of a house in the USA is around $374, 000 .. Now in my state the average is around $ 575, 000 .....

Now below is the highest paying IT jobs......

Information security engineer — $131,300.
DevOps engineer — $137,400.
Enterprise architect — $144,400.
Technical program manager — $145,000.
Software architect — $145,400.
Applications architect — $149,000.
Infrastructure architect — $153,000.
Software development manager — $153,300

Readers keep in mind this salary here is before taxes. You will pay at least 40% in tax.. The more your income the higher u can pay in taxes...


So Bazz001 that Nigerian IT girl that paid full mortgage for a house. What area of IT does she do .......

If you making good money, there is no reason for you to do two jobs.... When you do 2 jobs when do you have time to rest... This is I keep asking you what type of IT job you are doing..........

We need to be well informed so that we don't have to do 2 jobs to survive .. If you are doing IT the job should be enough without getting a second job....

Now a friend of mine that does IT . He is a programmer. He makes around $150k a year.. The job takes so much of his time mentally , he can't do 2 jobs .
The job is mentally draining for him ... But again what area of IT do u .....


Now all the questions am asking you are valid questions.. I want to be well informed and I want the audience reading this to be well informed

Elaborate on what ?
Kukuma kee me... I should state how much I earn on public forum ?
Ordinary I’m in US, You don’t believe I, but you want to believe how much I earn.
I stay in village according to my guys here that I should come to city, but don’t worry leave me in the village, I enjoy my white community village, drive 5mins to work , no heavy taxes, have everything I need , same malls in big cities, parks and beach.
But no crime , no gun shots , if you call 911 3 police cars will come, with ambulance and fire truck , cos they are bored and low crime rate.

I should leave Lagos and come to be living in big cities with heavy taxes, or wearing bullet proof vest to go out cos one crazy guy can decide to shoot people.

I carry Lagos street sense come here...
One thing I will tell you for free is that all the people that have been jappaing in the past 5years are doing way better than people that jappa 10/15yrs ago.




Fair enough.... What area of IT do you do. We need the audience to be well informed so that they can better make sound choices...


The questions am asking are fair and balance questions.....

You are missing the point here bro .........

What type of IT are you doing .... What is the salary range etc ...... If you want to motivate people to jappa u have to give people more information to make sound decisions etc......

For example when I invested in uber ... Alot of my friends wanted to invest ....since I wanted to motivate them ... I basically told them my earnings, expenses . I worked them through how my business operate...



If you can recall here .. I explain how I search for cars and explain my landing cost... And also I gave out a detail explanation on how much I spend to get my tokunbo cars ready for uber......

My transparency was able to better prepare any potential investors .... People were calling me and asking question. And I was able to help them .. I didn't have to give people any information .. But I wanted to help and motivate people........


When are trying to motivate people let us give them as much information as much as possible. This will help them to make better decisions....


The sky is big enough for everyone.......


Our American uncle you win...
Lagos easy pass Abroad ehhhhhhh
All intending comrades to jappa should remain in Lagos and be driving Uber inside AC.
No job abroad,
Trump will soon return... stay in your Nigeria

It is called PTSD


Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder that develops in some people who have experienced a shocking, scary, or dangerous event


The events that he has experience at an early stage in his life is causing it .. And it makes people very bitter ....

We have all experience it at a stage in our life knowing and unknowing ... We all have trauma at a stage in our life..

It is how we deal and cope with it that matters. I think his own copping skills is by venting online and talking about it indirectly.......

It is normal and nothing to be ashame of it ... Nigeria will do that to u ..

After 2 stops. I finally reached this rider’s destination.

Rider: Please what’s your account number?

Me: you don’t have cash?

Rider: No.

Me: Well, I don’t accept transfers because I don’t get alert. You will…

Rider: cuts me off. Please give me your account number.

Me: 00579…..

Rider: it’s done!

Me: Well, until I see the alert it is not done.

10mins no alert.

20mins no alert. At this stage I don central lock my doors with her friend inside.

Rider: please give me your account number again

Another long wait. No alert.

Rider: can I give you my phone number. If you don’t get it you can call me.

Me: Madam, I don’t need your phone number. I need my money.

Rider: I’ve sent it 4 times.

After all the back and forth. The mf rider had to miraculously pull out cash from her purse and paid.

It’s been more than 5hrs since that ride. I never see any alert.

An ojodu would have foolishly collected her number and rush to the next ride. Only to come lament on Nairaland with audio curses.

Seems to me like you're actually the ojodu. Has bolt stopped 100% compensation? So you wasted 30 minutes confirming alert that Bolt would have ended up paying you if they scam you when you could have used the 30 minutes to complete another trip.

I will not waste one minute of my time trying to confirm any alert. All I need is the screenshot on your app confirming the money and I'm good to go. If I don't get the money, that's bolt's headache and not mine.

By the way, look at the screenshot below. Someone sent me 50k, I received the alert, a couple of hours later the money was reversed. What will you have done if this happens after you've wasted 40 minutes waiting for alert.

What's funny there that made you open your teeth.

You are also deceiving guys about not travelling yet you applied for a visit visa application to canada.
At least being in the US without papers can be long as long as you keep away from the authorities, the authorities themselves know there are many without status.

But you want to go to canada that is worse when you don't have status. Canada is not a place to stay without status else you will cry your eyes out. Maybe you think asylum is still possible as before.

Dru, I have always enjoyed your posts and openness on this thread but I think baz001 is right on this one.
There are different IT fields where one can do two jobs or even 3 comfortably.
That your  friend is a programmer and decides to stick to one job is his choice but then again, I agree that programming jobs are tasking fields that demands attention especially if you're working for start up firms.
There are IT fields one can go in and comfortably do two to three jobs. Jobs like -
Cloud software engineers
Automation test engineers
Penetration testers
Scrum masters
IT project managers
Cyber security experts

IT is a broad field and if you don't get the right information you'll delve right into programming and think that's all to IT. Along the line you'll find out it's tasking and you weren't cut out for it. I have a friend who moved to the US in 2020 and he does two jobs comfortably,earns over 100k usd per month in each of them and can work from anywhere. He's Cloud software engineer and literally does two jobs. Told me he's looking to add a third when he's done with another certification course. There's nothing like enough money and if he can do two jobs to earn double per year comfortably why settle for less.
I have another friend in who is a pen tester and he's with 2 companies in that same US.
These day's youth are smarter now, even while working, they are looking out for Jobs that are less tasking but pay more and they can even do two jobs while at it.
One of the highest paying jobs in the IT field in the US and worldwide which is cybersecurity is not as hard as people think and you only need python basics to proceed with it.
Programming is just but a subset in the IT field, the trick is to learn one of these  key languages - Java, python and Javascript and go into a field like data science, Test automation, cyber security, AI. Then sit down after learning, maximize your time and earn more  money.
Web development which most people just call programming is what  we mostly know here in Nigeria as IT, this might not be as high paying in the future and is gradually getting saturated.
I am in Test automation and I can tell you that I can do three jobs if I want here in Nigeria. I work remote and I control my time and resources. All I do is to have my test suite ready and when handed a project I run my tests, get results, analyse and that's it. I tried coding( web Dev)  but that wasn't for me because I didn't have the patience for that . I dropped my 2nd job last month because I am now taking a new programming language class as it is a requisite for the new role I am eyeing . All these because I want to be ready for the market when japa comes. And I just got into the IT field this year.


As Bazoo rightly said, young graduates who move to the US within the last five years are more likely to make more money  because they are better informed and armed with the right skills than those who went way before them.

You can still be driving and learning at the same time. Read, research and know where your strength lies as IT can accommodate all.. But that's if you're between 28 - 40 with the zeal to get into the new future where IT will be the real deal in the market sector.



I posted here one time last two years or so that I needed a driver for one of my cars (camry sport 09) but I was advised against putting it up by someone here. I decided to not put it on e-hailing as I had a Corolla coming in. And when the Corolla came in, I looked at the market and decided it was not worth me (personal opinion) so I sold it. Things got rough last last year and I started bolt with the camry. I made the switch this year into IT (no certification, just knowledge) and stopped driving this year.  Nothing beats the peace and money that comes with doing what you love and at your own time.

I have learnt a lot from this thread and I hope this will also spur some people to see this as a stop gap, give yourself a target of 6 months to 1 year to stop driving and use that time to learn and upskill.. Finally, e no easy but e go easy if you put your mind there.


Special respect to Pearl1910 for your utmost maturity, Felicity,Dru, Pope, gentlelife, you guys keep the thread going and informative...
