Those opportunities available for those you mentioned are not available to you. You are black and occupy the lowest rung of the ladder.

Do not deceive yourself. You need to work in certain settings, be part of the elites for you to imagine yourselves in those space. I am a US passport holder but I do not receive myself.

You were not even birthed in the states, there’s a ceiling place on your head without you knowing. Most Americans are poor and the wealth of that nation is concentrated in the hands of the few. You guys are sharing the remnants among yourselves. Do some research and you will see the bubble.

Do you think you have the same chance as the whites in the US?

That doesn't mean shiit for those who don't plan to serve the system forever but already have their sight on how they want to be their own boss. My brother was laid off some years back during Soludo I guess, today he's far better serving himself.
Sometimes, our choices make or mar us. Imagine a professor migrating from India to Canada, only to be reduced to cab driver because there their education system wouldn't absorb him. Choices!

cococandy:
Is there any category of people who are destined for those jobs? It may not be your choice understandable but what’s denigrating about it?

Denigrating jobs should be things that are illegal. Any honest work shouldn’t be considered denigrating.
Do public bathrooms in Nigeria not have cleaners? Do you guys just let your public bathrooms deteriorate?

What the issue with Nigerians abroad doing such work?

Op is obviously a depraved African with extra colomentality on steroids.

You do not realize the quality of life and culture a man that has risen to be a bank manager has, but long for the grass is greener on the other side.

Another deranged African also said life is better lost in the sea and desert, to slave traders and organ donors or sellers than being shipped into slavery on sugarcane plantations. True because you pay through your nose selling all you have to buy tickets and visa to "achieve" the same sugarcane plantations beds overseas.

It shows you what we had been reduced to when they handed us Bibble and Koran in exchange for gold and slaves.

Of course good infrastructure anywhere makes life easier for poor or working class but that is not the definition of civilized life which is simply ability to live peacefully with one another. Village life where you get enough to eat and drink is what rich people are longing for in rich countries

For the information of Op, life is rougher for lower class worker in America than African middle class. Indeed, their life expectancy is lower as the infant mortality is higher.

Their chances in correctional facilities and being shot are higher than in African countries. So called "good" education for your children is how to deride your culture and deprive you of your children and wives.

Ah, some Africans are irredeemable.

You have said it all

erico2k2:
check the minimum wage in England please.
I dont think you realise that £1 is N2150 as we speak

Bankowner:
And what do you say about a banker who has worked over 20 years and still doesn't have his own house? Impossible, you will say. But it is true. And not that he is wasteful or anything.

NOETHNICITY:
Nonsense

Only G and H makes any sense

If you can pay 1000 dollars for electricity in the US then you can afford 24/hrs power in Nigeria
For example, I enjoy 24hrs power supply here and I am not even a multimillionaire

Here in Nigeria fuel is available for people who can pay 800 naira and above without having to queue at the fuel station
I bought fuel yesterday without having to queue and I bought for 850 per liter
While in the USA fuel cost far more than here Nigeria

In the USA if you don’t have health insurance you are going to have to pay heavily through your nose for healthcare. If the amount you pay for insurance is staggering.

How does toilet cleaner eat better food and fruits than a bank manager? What do you consider as better food?

I can keep going and I will cancel all the rubbish you typed up here except G and H!

maasoap:
It is an honest way of making a living, no doubt. But let's talk about what you have to put up with concerning such jobs. It is not for a fainted heart.


There is no any issue with them, they just have to do it because that's the choice they have. If they have options to chose from, packing shiit wouldn't be their choice

Notfogotten:
When we say a toilet cleaner in USA, Canada, UK, Australia is better than the manger of zenith bank, what we mean is that the toilet cleaner will never suffer what you are currently suffering in Nigeria.

Example include:

A. A toilet cleaner will never queue for fuel.
B. A toilet cleaner is less likely to be kidnapped in those countries
C. A toilet cleaner has 24/7 electricity.
D. A toilet cleaner has access to excellent Medicare.
E. A toilet cleaner is less likely exposed to armed robbers
F. A toilet cleaner eats better food and fruits than your bank manager.
G A toilet cleaner has access to good amenities
H. A toilet cleaner may have his children schooling for free in primary and high school
I. A toilet cleaner has a longer live expectancy than your bank manager in Nigeria.

If you spend one dollar in the uk, you are not getting equivalent value of N2150 don't be deceived.

If half paint of garri is being sold for N2150 in Nigeria for example, you are not going to get that same half paint of garri £1 in the uk. Rather, you will get it as much as between £85 to £130 ,hope you realize that?

MT:
Why are you comparing yourselves to benefit earners ? How much is the benefit that you make it sound like it’s a whole lot?

The benefits are being continually reduced and lot of these people are being pushed to work. As a benefit earner, you can’t even invite anyone from your family in Nigeria to visit you. The visa will be turned down automatically because they are seeing like “beggars” who are being fed by the govt.

Most of these benefits earners are homeless as the govt can’t provide enough housing for them and the landlords do not want them as tenants.

Is it the life of benefits that you want? May you have it then

It's true now, you will even pay more for it.

Do you think they produce cassava in uk that much?

And what’s the problem with that?

Must everyone be a king?

Honestly speaking, this is one of the aspects I rate Nigeria system very low. Things like car loans, mortgage, student loans, etc would have made many Nigerians grow economically and financially more than what we have at the moment.
Using 20 million naira to build a house when mortgage with little interest would do the job and invest such money to make more money

Kobicove:
There's nothing wrong with being a toilet cleaner per sé but folks should stop making it seem as if it's a role worth aspiring for just so they can brag that they live in Europe or America!

Keep deceiving yourself saying a dollar to naira is N2150 without considering that England have their market issues too, which are clearly different from what is obtainable in Nigeria

You are wrong and this write up you just did is based on assumption, stereotyping and full of prejudice. I am a manger and above band 8, I mange a team of 12 supervisors who are from every nationality and they in turn have up to a group of 16 men with them. I am Black, I am a Nigeran and I'm proud. In the west you will face racism, in Nigeria you shall face tribalism, the watch word for you is to face the reality on ground and deal with it head on. Every battle had been won by a strong headed person. I have friends who are Lawyers, barristers ,some even mayors. We al Nigerians. Go to the ministry of justice, the home office .Unless you are telling me the USA is different?

When did you actually immigrate to the US?

So, you do not know that there are serious racial inequality in the US.

Being black-skinned will create a systemic obstacle for you in the States. We are at the lowest rung of the ladder as africans
