Munamoqel: I will be happy to see that survey. Also so you educate yourself, savings in a bank account is not and should not be the measure of wealth. Let us talk about other assets like stocks, bonds , yields, and real estate portfolios. |

GeneralShepherd:Hi business minded people of Nairaland. I am a diasporan Nigerian and to be honest am tired of this UK and am thinking home now.

Am thinking of starting it next year after the election. Set it up and go back to UK to finalize my final exit by Dec next yr. Am looking for location along Lekki Epe Exp or Ibadan Oyo State for now.

GeneralShepherd:Survey finds more than half of Americans can't afford a $1,000 emergency. Bankrate, a personal finance company, conducted a survey in January to assess Americans' ability to pay for surprises expenses. The results found only 44 percent of U.S. adults had enough money saved to cover a $1,000, unplanned expense.19 01 2022 |

Munamoqel: You like to argue for arguments sake. What is the median household income in Nigeria vs America? |
Re: Is Traveling Abroad Worth It? by GeneralShepherd(m): 11:36am On Nov 06, 2022 |
Munamoqel: You again are cherrypicking facts, you also conveniently ignored the fact that while only 44% of Americans have emergency funds that most had credit cars and can still foot their bills. You fail to understand that in a booming economy people do not saving, when their is a downturn people save. An article from Bloomberg is not an economic survey of how rich or poor Americans are. You need to look at household wealth and gdp per capita. In America it is 69k , in Nigeria it is 2K. Stop embarrassing yourself with this argument. In terms of wealth, quality of life , education , security and Healthcare (which your leaders rely on) their is no western country comparable to Nigeria 1 Like |

GeneralShepherd:Most Americans are still struggling to build solid savings accounts nearly two years into the coronavirus pandemic. Some 56% of Americans are unable to cover an unexpected $1,000 bill with savings, according to a telephone survey of more than 1,000 adults conducted in early January by Bankrate. |

Re: Is Traveling Abroad Worth It? by poseidon12: 11:44am On Nov 06, 2022 |
Munamoqel: Actually, I would say that Nigerians in North America and Europe are 3rd class citizens. The Asians are the 2nd class citizens. |

Backpedal: The way I see people employing circular reasoning on this thread is astounding. I will love a working Nigeria and to move back home. However it is because go to east, west, north and south, home will always be Nigeria for me. For my children, not so much. There are many reasons to what to leave here like racism, loneliness and cultural shock but ability to make money is not one of them, even for the average japa person |
Re: Is Traveling Abroad Worth It? by GeneralShepherd(m): 11:46am On Nov 06, 2022 |
poseidon12: You people like to throw out words. What makes a Nigeria a third class citizen? You have the exact same rights as everyone else. You think people queue up to go to Canada to become slaves or what? |

Munamoqel: As an igbo man have I been accepted in Lagos or Kano? While racism is a concern , you have better recourse in law if someone overtly discriminates against you in America vs Nigeria. You know Amazon has had a huge datacenter in South Africa for nearly 10 years now right. Now let me tell you why Amazon is expanding to Nigeria. Every public company needs to continue showing growth, Amazon has dominated cloud computing in every continent and the only other way to show massive growth is to dominate Africa. A single datacenter in South Africa is not enough to serve the African market. If Nigeria was such a prime market, they will not be expanding to Nigeria literally when they have no where else to expand to. |

GeneralShepherd:uk that don't give visa now dash visa like Bonanza . It a smart ploy . They are having labour shortages in dead end jobs like farm worker ,carehomes , sewages staff ,mutuary attentance etc . Smart govt give some Afticans English speaking Nigerians teir 4 visa to come in to fill in the blank . They pay us high visa fees pay us IHS pay us tution deposit ,rent our homes ,then systems force them to do our dirty jobs .... .u think uk.embassy don't know say na Borrowed POF una they use JAPA.but their Target is labour shortages in the bottom they allow in the high cost of surviving in their system will make Afticans with degree work in homes. 2 Likes |

GeneralShepherd: Don’t compare nigeria to any other country and stop looking for excuses to remain in country that tax will always take away all your money… You can’t just expect us to be living okay and earn huge in nigeria and you expect to leave that to japa to a country that I will be working very hard to eat everyday. Deep down you know nigeria is a great country for business and even work. Despite the kidnapping and insecurity people are still living okay, stop calling nigeria shithole 1 Like |

Primusinterpares: A lot of Lebanese and Indians are doing very well here in Nigeria. Nigerians, like most blacks are not builders. They always run to where others have built. Even in US, they keep running to the white neighborhoods while the whites ( builders) keep running from them. 1 Like 1 Share |
