Why dont you learn to ignore some people.

There are certain people here I have chosen to ignore. They have tried different means to get my attention, but hell no.

You don't wrestle with pigs. Don't burn your energy over someone whose experience of living abroad is based on hearsay, rather than him being their to have his own personal experience.

Just ignore them and move on.

God bless you - this japa thing going on now is more from inferiority complex than the motives they state openly

My friend is in the US- I feel so inferior to him whenever he visits - his skin is nice looking- he speaks phonetics - people respect him

No I must japa - this is the mentality fueling 99% of japa - they forget that friend does not have 10% of what they have

he visited Nigeria borrowing to come intimidate you and later return to pay huge debts and suffer working long hours with zero savings

BUT those feeling inferior and feeling intimidated have house of their own and car- all payed for no debt YET they feel intimidated

by someone who pays through his nose monthly for the next 20 to 30 years for mortgage and even when he pays if OFF - the house

can be taken away from him someday if he fails to pay property taxes, insurance or association fees - and you in Nigeria, you do not

suffer such inconveniences much like those living abroad - let me stop for now - A word they say is enough for the wise!

Do not bother telling them again. Let them go and experience it. They want to become billionaires overnight, they will become trillionaire self. I have stopped telling them to lower their expectations.

I moved to America more than a decade ago, and I can tell you that it is almost impossible to make 100m naira at once abroad. At least l, not from just your salary alone.

When I got to America, I got into tech after working a few years as an office manager for a rehab Healthcare clinic. When I got into tech, my first salary was $125k with a sign on bonus of $20k.

I was not married then, so I was able to save more. A friend then advised me to trade stocks instead of letting my money sit in the bank and get only 1.5% interest in return for a year. I decided to trade stocks on the side while working full time. I got married and was making a decent amount on the side. One day, I fortunately caught on the GameStop boom a couple of years ago and made over $900k in one day as the stock skyrocket from just above $3 to $600 in 24hrs. The SEC had to put a hold on trading, but I had quickly sold.

I took that money and invested it in real estate.

Not many people are that fortunate. So, again , I say, if it is just salary, over time, you might be able to save up 100m naira, but you can NEVER do it at once.

Living in America is quite different from the rest of the world, opportunities are endless. Salaries are very high & housing with mortgage is cheap compared to the rest of the world.

Whatever you're making in America is 5 times better & higher than the rest of the world, so that's it.

Lol, please never run to 3 years time, I get some questions abeg. I know we should be investing but that's different from savings & since they have different purposes. So why does it not make financial sense especially when it is saved in dollar equivalent?

I invest & I also save, my savings account is where I deep my hands when something crucial comes up.


I said three years because I don't have it at the moment. So, I don't want to make up figures. About the bold, it is still the same thing - having so much saved, whether in dollars or any currency equivalent, does not make financial sense. There is a place for emergency savings, but to have 100 million naira as savings? Nah. Money should work for humans at a point, not the other way round.

It's quite simple. Every person has innate potential. Take something like HEIGHT, our genes determine our POTENTIAL height. But ENVIRONMENT determines how much that potential is met. So take a child with tall ancestors and put them in an environment of food scarcity and they're LIKELY NOT to grow as tall as they would in an environment with surplus available food. This is actually VISIBLE in the Nigerian community if one cared enough to look around and think about it.

Same with quality of life OR in the Nigerian obsession, financial success. It's about the availability of resources that will CONTRIBUTE to the achievement of full potential. Sadly due to RESOURCE SCARCITY, any Nigerian is more LIKELY to utilized their potential in the Anglo-West than in Nigeria. That's NOT an illusion, it's plainly true.

Thanks and Good Luck to Nigerians.

Beautiful piece but the bolded made it too generalistic. Most people lose their ways when they see unlimited freedom - they become WANNABES. Just few in this regard take the opportunity their new environments offer them.

I have heard this multiple times from people. Speaking in Nigerian terms, keeping that money in foreign exchange currency & leaving it alone is enough because the Naira will keep falling. But let's say we want to actually invest it.

The question is, invest it in what exactly?! I examined the options: Stock Market, Real Estate, Fixed Income, Mutual Funds & Cryptocurrencies.

1. Stock Market: ETFs & compound interests.
2. Real Estate: Used to be a good investment in Nigeria but preserving your money in dollars is better due to constant Naira inflation, your asset will also depreciate in value as Naira depreciates.
3. Fixed Income: less-risk but very low rewards. Government bonds, corporate bonds, or fixed deposits with banks.
4. Mutual Funds: I don't have deep knowledge about this.
5. Cryptocurrencies: Too Risky.

The only thing that makes sense on this list is Stock Market & stocks can also fall as well.

The best and must be the NYSE. Anything else is a loss.

Unless I look at the numbers, merely buying lands and selling them or building houses for rents with dollar makes no financial sense because returns are in naira - which is weak. The cases where such make financial sense is if the person is based in Nigeria or a diasporan who plans to relocate to Nigeria for good. In the former, it is very OK as the person uses his/her dollars to invest, but hopes of breaking even or generating profits should be reduced since they are generated in naira.

That is why I cannot buy lands in Nigeria while in the abroad using dollars. I would lose. If Nigeria were a major tourist destination throng with foreigners, I would invest in a hotel with dollars because the returns, although in naira, revenues would be very high and consistent.

3. Fixed Income: less-risk but very low rewards. Government bonds, corporate bonds, or fixed deposits with banks.

No difference between this and savings. The returns are too low to warrant cracking one's head to know how much potential returns can be generated.

4. Mutual Funds: I don't have deep knowledge about this.

Ditto here.

5. Cryptocurrencies: Too Risky.

The same here, plus I don't understand it, and I don't bother to.

The only thing that makes sense on this list is Stock Market & stocks can also fall as well.

There is also business, especially export driven. That is the option Nigerians, whether in Nigeria or abroad, should aim at. How do we take advantage of the low naira to sell products to the global market? Even as a dollar earner residing in Nigeria, going into business is also appropriate.

Making money comes with risk. This is why investors should conduct due diligence at the prospects of making it.

Okay with you have written here, the only winner is NYSE.

Investing in Business requires attention because you cannot risk being passive as you need to be involved in your business in Nigeria for anything to move forward & to avoid been defrauded. Especially for OP since software development is time consuming on it's own.

At the end, keeping your money stashed in savings in not such a terrible idea, there aren't a lot of great options for investment.

It is good to save, but amassing savings of 100 million has translated to him working for money, rather than money working for him. At a stage in life, that is not financially sensible to continue.

I've lived in 4 countries, so let me offer my two cents.

First, if you're looking at it from a financial standpoint, those who live in Nigeria and work for organizations in Europe or the Americas are far more gainfully employed than those living in these places (even though those living abroad are more paid than thier offshore counterparts). Even if you spend mindlessly, you'd still likely be very rich cause of exchange rate. If you're single, you'd probably be spending between 5% to 10% of your salary (depending on your level) and the remaining part (which could be more than a million depending on your level) could go to savings and investment. Meanwhile, your counterparts in the Western world will be spending in the currency of the resident countries. Some of them might even be struggling to save after paying monthly house rent of about $2,300 in NY and bills like electricity, water, gas, internet, phone, cable etc. as well as other expenses like transportation, groceries, wears, haircut and entertainment. There's simply no comparison here.

That said, like someone has already mentioned, living abroad isn't all about money for some people. Other factors like amenities, safety, passport (freedom of movement), exposure to diversity and, most importantly, the future of your offspring all come into play. Now, to your question, it all depends on the individual's field, level, the country where they are and the exchange rare at the time. Some countries pay more than others. Some fields pay more than others and advanced/senior professionals earn more than mid level and entry level professionals. So it's not very practical to give a figure. Moreover, people aren't dumb enough to keep compounding money in the bank like that. That's a poor man's mindset. Buying assets that appreciate with time or investing in financial instruments that counters inflation is the only way to secure the value of your money. Finally, whether you move or not is up to you. You might save less (even though you get paid more when you're there), live in a much smaller apartment and deal with the cold weather and racism, but there are benefits like thes ones I mentioned above. It's an individual thing. So take a moment to understand your priorities. And if you're still not so sure, secure a visitors' visa and go see for yourself first (bearing in mind visiting/vacationing in a place is far more fun than actually living there).

Good luck!

Well stated

What some of you don’t know is that what your white client consider to be struggles is not the same compare to Nigeria man struggle. If you don’t get it forget it

And the Nigerians who struggle over there? Who are they?
What u also need to know is that what u kill ur self to do, most whites don't even care. U want to buy house, drive latest car, use biggest phone, buy all the lands, do they care about that that much?

Some of u paint it like every single one abroad has a great life. Come on, a lot of them have spent over 6 years abroad with nothing to show. Still borrow money up and down.
A staff member of mine sold her iPhone few months ago to send the money to her bro abroad to pay off his rent after he couldn't pay. This guy has spent years abroad. Abeggg.

Abroad is great. But u guys should stop painting this image of like once u are there, u have solved all ur problems.
Many Nigerians are still under paid abroad. Stop converting their earning to naira becus they surely would spend their earning over there.

I know some abroad now, they are tired, it didn't work but can't come back becus of shame.
They got to abroad becus of the type of pictures Nigerians paint for them here that once they get abroad, they have made it in life.
One specifically has achieved nothing. Working life a machine and full of regrets. His story if like that for a lot of them too but he refused to return becus he would feel like a failure.
That is why many of them still go into fraud , drugs, human trafficking etc.

Nigeria top the ladder of unemployment and even poverty in the world. Na only person wey spend decades for obodoyinbo without making it na him una dey see. Have you not seen those who make furtunes abroad? At least an average Americans are miles ahead and far better than an average Nigerians that cannot even afford 3 square meal.

If you think a poor man child in today Nigeria can make it without involving in crime or fraudulent acts then you're decieving yourself sir. That was in the past. Where son of nobody can become somebody in Nigeria. Not anymore. Millions of graduate are unemployed roaming the streets daily. Many households can't afford 4 square meal daily that i know not ear say. Most average Nigerians cannot afford those 200k and above tuition fee with 30k as minimum wage and high unemployment rate. Even those that are working are still suffering. Their take home hardly take them home due to hyperinflation.

No sane Nigeria will have the opportunity to US and will not make it. It is never possible. With any legit job. I mean any legit jobs you go make am. Only those who involved in crime to make fast money are foolish. Leaving Nigeria to US is a goodbye to poverty to an average Nigerians

Baba, dont misunderstand me. Abroadee started all these madness when they dish out mumu words like those in Nigeria are all dead hungery and f*olish. I mean, it is crazy. I even see them rubbish anyone who didnt migrate to Canada, UK or US. These are wack mentality.

For instance, my self, I am a software developer, I dont really need migrate to Europe, if I must migrate, I simply care about stuff like electricity, sane environment, and I can get that anywhere in the world once I can afford it.

Life is not all about making all the money in this world. Allow people breathe in peace.
And stop casting down at other people's choices. Tell people the truth about moving abroad. U must be skilled, valuable and useful to their economy to earn well and u must be ready to work ur ass out to meet up.
U guys wont pant these pictures to them and they move and begin to struggle.

I wonder how the northern region will look like. Poverty is now a norms in Nigeria

I laugh at you guys comparing Nigeria to America or any other developed countries. It's like comparing first-class graduate to third class. Shoe get size sir



My father prepared me never to look for work unless it's high governmental research opportunities which ofcourse must be freelance.


Being offering service, building businesses for 15 years now. Should be retiring before 40 with atleast grin


Life is Game plan. Unfortunately many don't find it.

Then why do we have government? Why do we elect leaders with trillions of naira allocation? Would everyone venture into business or freelance? Would everyone venture into IT or whataview? What are the responsibility of government to the masses according to our constitution

Security of lives and properties
Enabling environment
Jobs opportunity
Quality education
Good healthcare
Infrastructures
Power supply
Accountability et al

Are you blaming Nigerians for being poor and JOBLESS now? You mean our leaders are doing the right thing but na Nigerians lazy or refuse to work or learn? I don't understand some of you guys seriously. Some of you will come online be claiming business man, millionaires, investors bla bla bla. Please does that erase the fact that we top the ladder of poverty and unemployment in Nigeria? Does that erase the fact that your neighbour probably do not have food to eat? Does that erase the fact that there are unemployed graduates in at least 2 of every 3 households? Does that erase the fact that an average Nigerians cannot afford a bag of rice now? Does that erase the fact that an average Nigerians cannot afford those exorbitant tuition fees now? Does that erase the fact that an average Nigerians are angry?

Seriously i don't understand. Or you're just after yourself. Provided i am rich or comfortable then i careless about others. Just like what your politicians are doing. Or you think your leaders care for the masses?

Yes. It's the responsibility of.government to put things in lace, but when we have Satanists in power, won't we learn to hunt ourselves ?
