$3000 at N700 to a dollar is N2,100,000 .... Nawa for your calculation oó ���. Sarcasm, maybe

You don't understand what he's saying. How and how would you have that kind of balance in your account. Three thousand dollars ! Whao . Most of you don't understand. Most charges and taxes and bills are made before the remaining balance is given to you. My it's not easy. Get a good IT certification, work in Nigeria for experience in a tension free atmosphere, then move . Avoida Canada by all means.

90% of them can not afford flight ticket back home especially the married ones,western world is rigged in such a way that they can make you live like Dangote and make you believe you are wealthy but the time you pay all the bills,you will be left with few dollars,you won’t even have anything left to send people at home,I am talking about people earning legitimately
You buy a big while earning $4500 plus wife salary a month
You buy a big car for wife
Big care for yourself
Children going to school
Everything on mortgages
By the time you pay everything you are left with nothing
Who said they buy big cars for the wife and himself ??
Abroad don’t leave life like Nigerians. They have good transportation systems sometimes they do not consider cars as a necessity plus the cost attached to owning a car like insurance etc .
The problem is too much bills and tax which most of us don’t pay here.

Why do nigerians living abroad fail to come back to Nigeria even for Important things like their parents death, burial, brother's wedding etc? I also find it weird some remain there for 15, 20, 30 years without ever visiting home even if na just once.

Document is one of the major reasons whilst some are over there waiting to save enough to come impress their enemies lol

For me, it's high time people start seeing this abroad waka as something normal and not extra ordinary.

1. Might be security issues

2. Nothing stop his or her family from visiting him or her too

3. Most Nigerian families prefer you sending money than visiting them.

4. Once he or she takes care of his or her parents then I don’t see anything bad in it. Build them a house, put them on monthly allowance then other children and family members can visit them regularly.

5. Paperwork issues: some are still battling with immigration paperwork

It isn't all as was advertised to many of us prior to somewhat taking that 'shot in the dark.

My advice to anyone and everyone of our Brothers and Sisters who think there's some "pot of riches" in abroad ought to think again, due to the fact that when reality kicks in, reality will definitely kick in, and all those false narratives of the road painted in gold and people plucking wealth from the floor will indeed prove to be false and misleading.

My thing is, I wish everyone of my Brothers and Sisters on NL all the best wishes and hope everyone reaches their highest potential and all of that, however, the facts aren't debatable; it's way better and essential that we make OUR world a better place, there's simply no place on the planet that beats 'Home'.

Furthermore, thanks OP, great question.

Also, a lot of people visit home codedly, they just don't tell you cheesy

The problem with many of us is that we swallow the rhetoric propagated by the first world media that their country is void of problems.

There is one constant in the world, irrespective of the country. We have the wealthy, the rich, the upper middle class, lower middle class, and the poor. Very few immigrants break it to the upper middle class, fewer to the wealthy and rich.

So back to your question people can't afford to visit their home countries because they have financial responsibilities that out weight the need to come home. Moreover, them coming home isn't beneficial to them because those at home just milk them dry.

Most of them no get money. No let anybody deceive you, obodo oyinbo no easy. The system is designed to make you work your black ass like a slave for someone, get paid with one hand then the government use another hand to collect am. Some people have lived abroad for 20 years but can't even boast of $15000 as savings. People who go there and make it big with riches they start building mansions back in nigeria are into one shady deal or the other. No let them deceive you, the money no legit. Usually wire wire, BEC, drugs, robbery and all forms of fraud.

Not everyone is into something shady or fraud mate!

Abroad hard generally but some niggas are still cashing out big, legit o! The most easiest way to cash out abroad is to have a skill and possibly self-employed.

You know how much Asians dey cash out here in the UK via corner shops and chicken &chips shops? Africans should learn to come abroad with a skill and not just to come and work for agencies.

some dont have papers and cant come home, some used asylum format where you claimed your life is a risk, so going back home raises highbrows and you may lose you papers. Canada for example recently passed it into law, they will start tracking asylum seekers who go home. Some are broke- after bills the average person abroad has 100 dols to minus 200 dols as balance. Where will u see money for flights costing over 1k dols easily. Unlike today that it is easy to travel legally it wasnt so 20 to 30 years ago. Some also came home and had bad experience ( robbery,kidnap, police wahala, accident etc) and vowed never to come back, So dont think it’s deliberate.




The truth is that majority are suffering.

Hmm, I am not doubting u bro, just that 500k for a start is what raised my eyebrows.

Contrary to what anyone told us, it's "skills" ,"who one is" and "who one knows" and experience, that "pay the bills" in majority of these places abroad, oppossed to 'merit', as one would normally suppose.

Another piece of information that was convieniently omitted when they pitched travelling to me, perhaps the people who pitched this to me was themselves ignorant of these facts.
