Two of the same things I listed: usage and weather. OgaTheTop2, looking at your amount, I guesstimate that you live in a home that’s between 2,200-2,800 square feet. Am I close?

Square wetin, I don't even know how to calculate that My home is four beds family house, with a full basement I rented out to a kokoye friend.

Why are you people this unfortunate? Why are u guys unrepentant when it comes to lying and showcasing your achievements to people who don't deserve to even know? Your Only solace is in getting to rub off your achievements to others face without caring. But when y'all get called out on your lies, you resort to things like this.

Was it not you that said you made $1M the first 6months in this USA? You claimed you're more successful than 99% of Nigerians who are not in the abroad. And when people later get to know about these fallacies you all share

Unfortunate human being. Don't reply this at all cuz I won't reply. I pray you rot in hell. Omo ale

Being fair and honest, since I’ve been on N’land, I don’t remember Gerard’s moniker ever saying that he’s here in the US or claim to have made millions. I think he may be in a Far Eastern country or was there in the past but he’s never said he was in America. Gerard also asks questions about life in America or other Western countries but you may have mistaken him for another moniker.

To repeat myself, billing for electricity depends on the size of the dwelling and the person living in it. Some people have a combination of gas and electricity so their electricity is cheaper, some run only on electricity which is higher. This is my current bill. My house is all electric. There are things that I can do to curb my use and get it cheaper but for now, my usage suits my lifestyle better. I do know people with small bills a tad bit over $100, some in between, and some more expensive than my billing.
See the differences with my usage in the picture below. In January, I had houseguests who were home when I wasn’t, I heated the pool a few times in order to use it, and charged my car more because I traveled further for work. Those things made January’s bill lower. My September 2022 bill was below $200 because I was out of town the larger part of the month.

Mumu seeing the dirty well you drink water from as a pool. Suffer head sleeping inside a 1968 Ford bus. The money I pay my four bodyguards in a month will feed you and your family for 10 years. Mugu

I can assure u that I make more than ur three jobs here in Nigeria.

Yes,if u want me to explain i can do that with clarity.

Nigeria is still a gold-mine only if u can look at everything with a strangers eyes.

Could you kindly explain please??

Thanks so very much.

IyaebeTheGreat:
People are making what you make in your three different jobs monthly in a day. Most abroad guys are very stingy, it shows things are not easy over there.

Like who?
Compare a lecturer in Naija vs Abroad. A banker in Naija vs Abroad, A gateman in Naija vs Abroad, An accountant in Naija vs abroad, a mechanic in Naija vs abroad…. Dont tell me about politrickians who have stolen money

I have at most 7m, I'm planning on moving to the USA but also having doubts.. Please someone should give me a piece of advice on weather to stay here (Nigeria) and run a business or relocate to USA. I just do not want to make a move that I'll regret for the rest of my life😔. This one that some people are saying they're suffering there while others are having a 250m projects..

No doctor can achieve that in 60yrs. All my families are doctors practicing since the early 80's to mid 90's. You don't know what you are saying. Even if you earn 500kusd annually as a doctor you can't

ok bro. i believe you

You will regret. There hasn't been a single Nigerian who didn't regret traveling to America or Canada. You will surely regret, nothing like grace. Failure is certain

Liar, she wont regret nada

OgaTheTop2:
Speak for yourself o. I have never regretted relocating to US. A beautiful family, two fine 2020 SUVs, lovely mortgaged house, three beautiful houses in naija, three fine cars (two SUVs and one 2016 car) in naija. Parents and siblings are well taken care of. Friends are supported in tunes of millions of naira in their various businesses. Tell me, what work could I do in naija within four years to achieve all these and still going? You pay bills in US, that's a must. No food for lazy man in yankee o

Lol, feed us small small naw

The first two to three months of Nigerians getting abroad is always like;

"ohh my God, see 24hrs light, Nigeria failed us" most even forget they pay $300 for utility bills every month. LoL

"See road. Ohh my God, there's no road and fine cars in Nigeria, we all trek on mud"

"Mehn, see fine fine oyinbo, I'll Marry like 2 oyinbo for here and get papers within two years" only to later realized this is only but illusion as most Nigerian guys are ugly and might not be good enough to even get dates.

"Damn. See how much my salary is wen I convert it to naira. Now, I'm earning more than a bank manager in Nigeria" Only to later realized that 60% of this money will go to taxes and bills. Nigerians at home will also bill them

"Take pictures every day to pepper ignorant Nigerians at home" only to get tired after two months when reality knock

That was me when I paid $350 for light in February

Plans to travel is nearing completion but I'm discouraged by talks like this. E even be like my sponsor dey overbearing these days. He's just too pushy. Hmmmn! I hope I'm making a good decision, not so keen about it anymore especially as I'll be leaving hubby behind for now.

Hey, Placeofallure, how's it going?

Are you headed for the Middle-East (Asia), Canada, UK for work or academics?


Here's more of my POV below:

If you've done your due diligence and the offer is genuine (with real testimonials from others and references) in the medical or tech fields for instance, then just do it. But then again, since your subconcious is reacting to the
RED flags such as you having to leave your man behind in the interim, and the "pushiness" then you have to step back more and logically analyse the situation.


There have been horrendous stories though of innocent and unsuspecting young women and men from Yorubaland and elsewhere who spent millions of
Naira (derived from selling their family lands or borrowed money) to travel to Oman, Lebanon, etc, and ended up getting their travel passports seized and turned to sex slaves as housemaids instead of getting the social worker or other formal or semi-formal jobs they were promised.

Abike Dabiri's intervention got the ladies out of Oman and Lebanon back to Nigeria.

It would have been better if these folks had used the millions of
Naira spent to travel out on agribusinesses and other investments back in Nigeria.

No, nothing of the sort. It's UK and for studies and work. The man pushing is family, an uncle, me no wan go, but he just wants me to go. He
believes more opportunities abound there. He's lived and worked there too. Hubby will join later.

fykes:


What are you doing that you can't save up $10k ??
In 8 months in UK I saved up £10k without pressure.
Abi you no know road? Or you dey count buses for road?
Better ask questions and stop discouraging people.

Someone said he spent £600 on gas and electricity...LIAR. even in a 6months you can't spend that amount at all.

🤣😂🤣😂the way u guys contradict urselfs in all of these figures and spending abroad makes one confuse on what to believe honestly, na wen person go there e go fit ascertain the truth. BTW I also have a brother in UK for over 12yrs he can't boast of a house in Nigeria talk more of making millions that would effect meaningful change in the family. How com u are able to make £10k in just 8 months?

Simple....I am not your brother.

The climax of myopic reasoning is believing that what's not possible to you is equally impossible to another.

Y'all can't get any lower.

Oh, I see! That's fine though if the offer is from your fam member in the UK. I've got fam in the UK... My younger brother lives there too with his immediate fam. There's been a spike in inflation in the UK due to global financial headwinds, but with focus, one can develop streams of income to weather the storm. London is more expensive than areas such as Manchester so you just have to figure out how to cut cost.

You should give it a try though since it's for education and work ... and you have a small nuclear family.

The exchange rate differential majorly is what makes folks in Nigeria to want to leave, otherwise, why go to struggle in another country? I still remember how back in the early to late 1980s, Nigerians used to fly regularly on holidays to the UK and NY onboard the iconic British Caledonian, PanAm, and Nigeria Airways and return. Those days can still be got back and even better with proper decentralization of the economy based on
innovation.


Talk to you later.

I was only curious to know and be clarified on the difference in contested figures and as it relate to possible outcome in UK.

Leave them. Most things you read here are lies. They claim they make millions of dollars within two years in abroad. Lol. Wheh it's possible for you to be here for years and you won't even have $5k to yourself

Right. I am even about completing students hostel in a university town in the SW. Next project is a fine hotel building budgeted at 250m. Shey na naija go ginger me to achieve that? I have NEVER regretted moving abroad.

They just don't know what they are saying. Some guys would not even bother building a house in naija, they will just buy house gbam..Case closed.

Like i said somewhere, you won't know what you can achieve out of life if you don't try. Some think I do drugs, I am not Tinubu abeg
There are many financial facilities you can enjoy in US. Banks will be offering you with loans and credit facilities once you have a good credit score...It's automatic. Many people make it big through this route, couple with their works. Some Nigerians have low self-esteem and look down on others making it. You don't travel abroad and hope to make money while sleeping. I only sleep 5 hours in a day, the rest na work and driving. Not easy, but you make your money. You work well, have good business and stay out of trouble...you are good to go. Once I am on vacation in naija I enjoy my life to the fullest. Back to US, na work, work and work. That's life.

You sleep five hours in 24 hours and you are really proud of that.

Do you hope to live real long after making the whole money in the world. Have you considered what inadequate sleep could do to your health on a long term risk?

Manage your health today so that you see tomorrow.

Seriously, I've stopped reading the hype of these guys abroad because they're making some of us feel less achieved. One was talking about a project of #250M completed in Nigeria and I don't even know if na this same abroad I dey with them too. I been here in this abroad and I can't even boast of $10k USD. It's well Sha. I just hope they're not lying with all these things they're saying

Many do tell lies just to backup their claim plz don't let intimidation kill u ooo...

Liars are everywhere because i have a brother too that travelled to Texas Abt 9years ago till date he can't send me just 1 dollar always complaining of he is not balanced yet 🤔 even as am in igeria i can boast of 200k and that's even more than 1dollar mtheew

Tell your brother to contact me and I will teach him how to make money in US through car scrapping and dismantling and I bet you that in a year, he can boast of $30k to $50k dolls for a start.
