With the recent news that dollars is going to be deemphasized and might probably lose values, I'm beginning to think twice about my relocation move. My uncle that recently came back from the US gave me $5000 to do business and I initially thought about using this money to move abroad.

I'm not like an average Nigerian who get carried away with "there are good road and 99hr power supply abroad". When I travel, I'm going there to go and make money not to count ceiling and take hot picture for the Instagram and to pepper people at home.

If dollars get decentralized and $1 = about #250, thouh this development will not go well with people abroad since they'll have fear that the little they send home will no longer be able to surprise anyone, and their usual conversion strategy will no longer work. But on the other hand, this move will help people in Nigeria as there won't be that much of a difference between someone earning #500,000 in Nigeria and the one earning $3000 abroad

Your uncle wey dey America 🇺🇸 gave you $5k just to better your life. That’s Over 3.7 million naira. Just like that? And person wey give you that kind money, suppose at least get like $100k reserve.
And now you no want follow him go that place him dey make this kind money so that you go begin make that kind money, at least give others.
This is the definition of village people calling you nonstop.

This Op is not serious Sha!

So, your sole reason for wanting to Japa is to make money and send to oppress those here!

What a joke of a human being!

Your types are those that delight in the decline of Nigeria and Africa economy!


In spite of how I despise all Nigerian politicians and elected leaders, there are 2 things I desire greatly:

1. Nigeria gets it right by increasing exports and massively cutting imports and cost of governance.

2. Nigerian currency improves massively either through the above point or decline in demand of the Oppressive Dollar.

He may be right on his position. Not everyone likes Abroad. I've been to several countries of the world myself and to some extent I don't prefer oversees to Nigeria. Also the only genuine people I've seen in all the countries I've been to are the indigenes themselves. Every other nationals esp, Nigerians appear "fake and superficial" in their lifestyles abroad. Need I say, a fellow Nigerian brother just stole my phone last week here. Their hussling is tripple real here and that's why many wouldn't even attempt coming back home because their expectation of better off than people back home isn't actually true.

Having said that, I would not discourage anyone that wants to leave the shores of Nigeria. Abroad favours some and also doesn't favour some. If it doesn't favour you, you are always welcomed back to your country. The only thing I hate in many of the countries I've been to is the feeling and treatment like fourth class citizens. In all, they are great cities and great countries. Nigeria no just near them at all!
you said it all...if persn travel out go better country and has nothing to show, na him fault..9ja is good but no security, bad government, etc. I would love to visit 9ja once in a while when I finally travel o.. it's better to love 9ja from overseas. Make God do am for me too as e do am for you, find me and travel, get citizenship.

Useless talk everywhere.
If dollar come down and exchange rate reduce prices will reduce and living will be better. Who dey abroad don't need to send money to naija as the people living there will be living well. Even if you send any amount the change it will be OK for them to live. Whether $1 = 1 naira. Abroad still better pass naija.

99% of the richest sorry wealthiest Nigerians made their money in Nigeria. But doesn't negate the opportunities abroad since not everyone want to be wealthy over being rich or comfortable, because there is a difference between comfortable which you get from a job or rich mainly from business and wealthy from business and investment.

Countries choose to use the U.S. dollar as their alternative currency because it is stable. Stability of currency is not only based on economics but other factors like security, policies and strong rule of law.
The strength of the American economy is one of the reasons why the U.S. dollar is the world's dominant currency. No other country has open book policies like the US. Investor love transparency., which allows for near accurate predictions. So, the investment would continue to flow in to make US the largest economy in world. Remember that the world's most commonly used currency, the dollar is also the world's reserve currency, meaning it's held in large quantities by central banks around the world. Dollar was established as the world's foremost reserve currency by the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944. and as of March 2021, nearly half of all US banknotes were held by foreign citizens, amounting to roughly $950 billion. These people trust the system to protect their money.
This is the reason US is the greatest country on earth and no other country can take that position for now

In as much as I hate America and agreed with some of the points you made, I like to point out to the fact that the Breton woods agreement that was signed in 1945 actually said that every dollar printed must be backed by gold,meaning that they can’t just start printing money like they’re doing now.

Dollar was pegged to gold until 1971 when President Nixon duped the whole world by printing more money without backing them with gold and ever since then inflation has riddled every country in the world.

America is a scam and the dollar is a scam too.

Re: Reasons I No Longer Have Interest To Relocate To America by nappy760(m): 7:23pm On Apr 06, 2023
Truth of the matter is the dollar is merely printed paper backed by nothing. Our government are exchanging what have real value ( gold, minerals , commodities) for mere piece of paper to the Chinese. The Chinese are smart and accumulating value while we accumulate trash. By the time the dollar is devalued all those criminals in government will weep.
What is happening is part of a bigger agenda to implement Central bank digital currency (CBDC).
It is not a mistake what is happening in Nigeria with the scarcity of note and unavailability of new note. It is all part of their plan. Implementing CBDC will give them literal control of everyone's lives. They can determine how much you can have and how much you can spend.

There are so many ways to move to America legally. I mean with permanent residency. Not going with visa and staying back. Living as an illegal immigrant and embarrassing not just yourself, but the source country "Nigeria". Switzerland is a far much better country. Infact there are so many countries better than America. But please move with permanent residency. That way, you keep your dignity and respect.
Switzerland is not better than America for an African immigrant. America is 100 times better for an AFRICAN IMMIGRANT than any country in this world and that is a fact.

The only reason is that US is the Super power and World police. World bank and other UN organizations are there.

There are other currencies that are performing better and more valuable yet US dollar is most acceptable. Long and short of it is that the Western world is controlling world economy one way or another.

Re: Reasons I No Longer Have Interest To Relocate To America by viodemus: 7:37pm On Apr 06, 2023
Chairman, nice conviction. But be very sure that the USA will not miss you at all.


As for the de-dollarization, that did not start today. Call it any name, if America becomes a signee of it, she will be the richest of that currency. if nigerian govt decides to devalue the currency, dangote and others like him will still have the most money.


Your talk about every country will be equal is also a naivety assumption. If every country decides to start again monetarily, Nigeria will still be backwards in 2 years, and back to this stage in 10years. It is not by jawing brother, it is by work put in, it is by establishment. You cannot compare people that don't have bearings and a strong system to people that have bearing and direction. Nigeria has not had a respectable power generation and distribution since Otedola was born. That is not people you compare to serious people. Moreover, the financial system will not tolerate the money laundering and people corruptly moving around with bags of money.

Even china cannot compare with America as of today and tomorrow. China is steadily devaluing their currency so that their products can seem cheap. That shows they are not confident to let their currency fluctuate. If America and china have the same strength of currency, many people will buy American, because you know they also have quality control. That is why in America, they give you sometime to return the product if there is a defect. Something china cannot insure. Mind you, I respect the discipline of the Chinese and asians in general. China is also the current leader in mathematics. if china keeps up that pace for 15 to 20 years, then maybe china might overtake America properly. But trust America, they are working to stay in the game. STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) is the wave in American schools right now. They don't wait around for stupidity to overwhelm them.


You also made some remarks about those in America feeling some kind of way about finances, and maybe going there to be looking at ceiling. Chairman, you don't know about the day to day struggle in America until you experience it. It is not a joke. Is only a few people that goes there and really have a good paying job in 5 years or more. There are many unanticipated curves that can be thrown your way. It is even worse if you don't have family or friends support, and it has to be dedicated family and/or friends support. I can assure you that many people are not playing around over there, many have become hardened criminals and know that it can be over at anytime. The street life is not a child's play. Just pray that luck is on your side.


Also try and understand the currency market if you want to hinge your future decisions on it. Currency market can give you serious money off just understanding world dynamics. China is surrounded by enemies she created, so china and her enemies have security limitations, why would someone have a long term bet on their currency. Or is it the terrorist trainers of Saudi Arabia, these ones are toothless dogs. All America has to do is arm the oppressed people of Saudi Arabia to put them in a 30 to 50 years of turmoil and instability; but America is too great to be too petty, but if push comes to shove, anything can happen. America treasury is still the highest holder of bonds for countries and people. That means countries and people still bet on American stability.


God bless the USA.

No, it's not because it's stable sir. There are more stable currencies out there. This is in the public domain.

The USD became the international currency the day America became the country not hit by recession after the 2nd world war. There was no money in most countries and America (the biggest opportunist then) took over world leadership for this reason.

America stayed out of the 2 wars most of the time until all big countries were exhausted, before striking and taking the glory.

Unfortunately, the world is becoming tired of their arrogance and as we have it now are ready to call their bluff (Already in action).

Did I also tell you the USD is not pegged to anything valuable unlike in 1947-1971 when was pegged to gold?

In less than 5 years time, the dollar is going to lose its hold on the international market.

This is not for debate, just do your research sir, I may not respond because I'm still in transit with no stable network.
