Raph82: I've been saying it, now you have said it. It's jealousy. The fact is an ordinary blue collar worker makes more money, and enjoys a better quality of life than, these "big boys" in naija, who are nothing abroad honestly. They wouldn't move abroad not only because they're ignorant, but they have this false superior complex. One bafoon here months ago was mocking people who travel abroad and end up doing blue collar jobs, like this man working in a warehouse. When I informed him if you get a unionized blue collar job, specifically with the government, you have made it. That I know city bus driver's and cleaners making over 100k dollars per year. He laughed and called me a liar. After showing him proof. He got extremely vex and said there's something wrong with the system when an "ordinary" bus driver can make that much money. He was just vex not only does a bus driver live a better life than him, they also make more money than him. His "big boy" flex wouldn't work abroad. These jobs also come with benefits and a government pension for Life. The pension you'd actually get paid out to you ever month for Life ! Not story time when it's time to get paid. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/415-bus-drivers-sunshine-list-1.5505087 4 Likes |

maternal:My brother, there's nothing any of them can say that will hold water, the fact is obvious, blue-collar jobs in developed countries are miles apart from white collar jobs here. I have some1driving company truck in the US who has a modern bakery in Ondo town. Every thing in that place is automated. The factory is solely using transformer that a whole street will be struggling to have in five good years. This same man has 5-star hotel, car stand and several other businesses here, a driver. To hell with bank manager here. 5 Likes |

AmuDimpka: Absolute LIE. A blue collar unionized janitor/ toilet cleaner makes over 100k dollars per year easily in the west. With overtime and shift prenium. They also get a gold plated government pension for their old age, along with health and dental benefits. I know 2 "toilet cleaners" personally who work for the government, and make over 100k per year, while owning several properties. Like stated before, a "toilet cleaner" lives a better life than a "big boy" bank manager in naija Of course there's no waiting list to see a doctor in naija, when Witch doctor dey in your village. A high school student here has a better understanding of the human body than a "doctor" in naija. With the 52 years life expectancy lol. Go and sit down. Not only can a toilet cleaner afford to travel and spend weeks in another country, HE DOESN'T HAVE TO APPLY FOR A VISA .. And has a strong purchasing power. https://www.cnbc.com/2016/11/04/how-one-bay-area-janitor-made-276000-last-year.html https://nypost.com/2015/09/20/average-nyc-school-janitor-makes-109k-a-year/ https://saskatoon.ctvnews.ca/saskatoon-city-custodian-earned-more-than-mayor-police-chief-and-top-managers-last-year-1.5942134 6 Likes |

Raph82: I'm assuming he drive across the US and Canada delivering goods ? That's a big boy job. You'll be on the road a lot, but one can gross 200k USD per year. More if you own your truck . |

Re: Finally Migrated To Australia At Age 48. This Is My Story So Far by ariesbull: 6:50pm On Apr 12 |
Bro people spend 20m to 30m. Some times is not someone’s fault, it is the perception one has. Before I traveled , my guys that were here told me they were making over 5000 euros a month after bills, so I was so desperate. I finally got here to find out that they don’t even have apartment of their own and not to talk of 5000 euro a month. The only reason why I didn’t regret it was that i didn’t contribute one naira to my travelling expenses. Imagine me spending 20 to 30m to experience what I saw when I came here, I wouldn’t I have forgiven them. If not for social media, no body in Nigeria would have known that abroad is just packaging. That is y I tell those who want to come the truth, so that they will prepare themselves financially and mentally before travelling. Imagine guys in their late 40s still not married, no child, in dis abroad. A man who is supposed to be a family man will still be sharing apartments because of bills. 1 Like |

Chief, which country are you in and what’s the major challenge, is it lack of jobs or lack of papers to get the right job or lack of skills to get a good paying job? ariesbull: |
Re: Finally Migrated To Australia At Age 48. This Is My Story So Far by ariesbull: 11:15am On Apr 13 |

Re: Finally Migrated To Australia At Age 48. This Is My Story So Far by emmyslimzy: 1:03pm On Apr 13 |
Chief I totally disagree with you on this one. If I’m relocating to a good country with the right means and 20million is the price to pay, trust me I will do it without looking back. If 20million will amount to giving my kids, my wife, myself a better future without having to beg someone to get them a job, having to travel by air not because I’m rich but because of high insecurity, be able to achieve our goals without knowing one or two politicians, eating and taking good food and drinks without fear of fake drinks, fake medication, increasing my life expectancy, then I think it’s really small. You actually don’t know how bad this our Nigeria is right now till Nigeria happens to you man which no one prays for! I ask again, please which country did you relocate to? ariesbull: 2 Likes |

emmyslimzy:better future ? Define it ? Is it a future that kids will abandon their homeland? Is it a future that I will be old and be thrown to old people's home ? Is it a future that I will want to come back in 60s but afraid to come back cos my wife and kids aren't coming ? Is it a future that at 48yrs and I am stating life afresh again ? I really want to understand the concept of better future ? |

ariesbull: It is a future where the chances of you being kidnapped and your children rendered helpless is almost zero. It is a future where human life is highly regarded. It is a future where most things that kill African children will not take the life of your children. It is a future where the restrictions that apply to most African children will not happen to your children. It is a future where almost everyone knows what to do or who to call in case of emergency. It is a future where your children will never struggle like other children in Africa. If it takes a man to start life afresh at 60 to be able to give his children better future, a noble man will embark on the journey. If my children decide not to return to their Homeland, does that reduce them from being my children? Those in old people's home are treated better than most elderly men and women that your government has neglected over the years. Why will you come back at 60 when you are almost always taken care of by your family and government? 11 Likes |
