Don’t let anybody lie you!

If you have saving and assets, sell it off and leave the country. Nigeria is heading nowhere.

I have a friend who sold all he has in Nigeria, and moved to the UK. He is currently changing diapers for adults and doing fine. Another one resigned from a bank in Nigeria and used all his assets and savings to Japa to US, hommie is currently lifting boxes at Amazon during the day and doing uber at night, and he is doing fine. You need to see their pictures on Facebook to confirm the big life they can afford.


You just need to be determined, in a space of 6 months , you should be able to recover all you sold in Nigeria.

Is that the best advise you have for your country men? run to another man's country, as full grown man, to go and change the diapers of older men or women? What happened to purpose in life? Why is it that all we can think about and what drives our decisions is food to put in our mouth?

justwise:
Whoever worte this is a lazy freeloader. No don't work hard and pay for what you used.

Stay in Nigeria where people don't have to work and still managed to pay bill.

Nonsense!

I think the person who wrote this is already thinking of leaving Naigeeria, he is just as your said lazy and afraid to make the move.


He obviously believes there are no bills to pay in Naigeeria. Naigeerians pay more bills (undocumented money/bribery, cooking gas, petrol, providing their own water and electricity) than in the UK, Canada or America.

MarketDispatch:
If you are going to Japa...Japa with the mindset to quickly transition to a Business owner.

What kinda business owner? You think most people don't or didn't this thus? Until you get there and realise it isn't as easy as you thought.

neutralmind:
A total of 1,702 murders, 2,149 kidnappings, and 320 robbery cases were recorded by the Nigeria Police Force across the country in 2023.

However the United States of America recorded well over 16,000 murder cases.

Which country is truly safe ?

USA isn't the size of Nigeria though it's like a conglomerates of many countries,in the subject'Government'"a state",also means a country.
Infact Texas just one of the state in the US is larger than Nigeria.

BABANGBALI:
Japa is not just about money, it's about securing the future of yourself and your family. I am japa bound





Seun please monetize nairaland and let's start paying for membership

Correct.



If Seun monitise Nairaland many account would be banned and regulations will apply. Right now no regulations on Nairaland and he has to get rid of that people must accept to be musleem policy, it is biased. All the tribalistic comments and topics have to go too.

YeribanzaGoat:
Shut up!!! What is the minimum wage in Nigeria? How long do you think a man would work before he builds a three bedroom bungalow. Ofeke.

It takes 25 years to pay off a mortgage in UK. But please, you come shut me up.

YeribanzaGoat:
Omo shut up there!!! Easier said than done. Na people like una go quietly japa but na una like to dey give people rotten advice.

I am advising you to japa.

Life in UK is much much better than life in Nigeria, but please learn to read first or you would misunderstand people just as you are misunderstanding me.

They won’t listen of you tell them the truth.

Stevosty:
Read the post you quoted again.

I doubt YeribanzaGoat will understand if he reads that post 10 times.

I did not japa myself because I was born in japaland UK, and can safely say its better here than Nigeria, and worth japaing if just for the education and the healthcare.

YeribanzaGoat:
Okay sir

And ease up on the quick to insult!

The last time I went to UK, I could not wait to spend my 10days..

Haaaa very horrible. Na boredom go finish you.

As in, the worth of money is when people see you spend it. The worth of money is when they see it in you. UK money is for paying bills.

No wonder my brother living there struggled to send our mom 20pounds. The 20pounds he sent was like 2million to him.

During Christmas time, you will nearly commit suicide. Very boring and lonely place. No wonder our naija brother go to shiny places to snap and post on social media. The picture they are posting is their own Christmas celebration.

Most of them rushed home in december for detty december.

It’s true London is shiny with good transportation. I enjoyed their transport system make I no lie, but every other goodies is just shine shine.

Omo no place like home. I earn 900k per month here in Nigeria. Abeg, I no want UK or canada.

Imagine my childhood friend who used to work for GTB Internal control now work in Bakery. He slumped one day and spent a month on sickbed. He had to rush to go back to work because bills were mounting.

You can deceive the guilible, I Dey enter UK wella..eh no worth am Kankan..e Pele.

I am a social person, UK has nothing for me. If you are a melancholic person or an introvert, fine.

My friend in Canada had to rush his wife down when boredom and masturbation nearly killed him.

Talk to your personal persons living there, not people coming online to form ‘I am fine’

Anyways, I pushing for a multinational work so I can earn Forex. But I no fit japa if eh no be USA

She made sense about the cold and loneliness. But on the aspect of "paying bills", that happens everywhere. Adulthood is synonymous with paying bills. Someone who left Taraba to work in Lagos would say the same thing.

Factcheck0001:

If u get money for naija, naija too sweet especially if u dey south west with less security issue

Just have 1 or 2 functioning hotels or a farm with over 200 cows n u will know many are flexing

If I am able to arrange my farm well n balance everything within the next 3 years even if u want give

For dairy or beef?

How do you manage theft issues and employees attitude to work?

Do the math, someone who earns 900k in Nigeria hardly spend 200k on bills.

If you earn 1,000,000 per month in UK, I can assure you are spending 800k on bills.

Bede2u:
Someone who is earning 4 million naira a month in Nigeria (3000 usd) is richer than someone earning 10,000 Cad a month in Ontario, Canada.

With your 4 million, you are earning almost 50 million a year. A nice duplex in Enugu can be as cheap as 100 million. Your 2 years salary can get you a duplex.
A duplex in Canada is about 1 million cad. Your 120k cad a year will need to be saved for about 9 years to get you the same duplex.

Then there is the issue of community. You have a social life in Nigeria. It comes easy. In Canada, you have to make extra effort to have what resembles a social life.

Most successful Nigerians lived abroad for a while and came back. Think on it if you are a big person in Nigeria currently. The grass is not greener on the other side

Funny

Less than 1% of Nigerian population can earn 4million naira monthly what is common is 4 million yearly that is 300 to 400k monthly

This is just am ignorant statement, anyone earning 10,000 Canadian dollars a month will be able to build a house in Nigeria and buy one in Canada and still be sending money home.

You are absolutely correct...

Dude I will tell you from experience. US is the land of opportunities, just that most people wey Japa are not smart enough to grab these opportunities.
It took me just in my second year in the US to start making over $100k a year, grateful to God. gunning for $150k - $200k in my 3rd year.
I do HVAC... Heating, Ventilation and AC.
Insane career, right? Because it involves sales, so you double as a technician and a sales person.
Not here to brag, but I tell anybody who cares to know that you can make insane amount of money from this career, instead of those stressful jobs. It's commissioned, not hourly pay, you work less, I work like 26 hours a week, 4 days.
It's easy to learn, just be so smart and know how to talk 👄.
It's high in demand skill.
Opportunities are endless. Under 5 years, you achieve what most Nigerians can't achieve in their lifetime, together with living good life, wey be say na only billionaires can afford in Nigeria.

IfyAwazie:
“I feel like it’s crazy, imagine working all your life just to pay bills. It’s just that there is peace in the country.

Exactly, Na that peace they're looking for where them they japa to.... She's talking as if we no dey pay bills for Nigeria.

You mind her, make she lock up abeg.

Pesin wey wan japa make he japa jo, in fact, if you be my nigga and you wan kawa you have nothing but best of wishes from me to do so o.

No time abeg.

Rent (pro-rated), electricity bills, fueling, transport costs and health wouldn't gulp up to 200K for the typical ~1M naira earner in Lagos (where such salaries are possible)?

P.S. I've not mentioned school fees and family commitments as I assume a single person who earns such.

Love800:
Your country is a poor under-developed place with poor jobless niggas littering the streets. With your large money, you will still be affected with bad situations one way or the other!

there are safe estates all around Nigeria. I'm sure even in your state, there are big business men and even foreigners living and working there safely

DaddyCoool:
If you are not into any crime they'd manufacture one for you on the spot - it is nothing personal and they're not interested in arresting you, they just want you to give them money!

Why haven’t they done that to me if it’s what they do to everyone?

It doesn't matter whether there are safe estates. So wont you come outside of the estate to go to work, negotiate business with someone or purchase something? The poverty revolves around. It(results of poverty) may still cross your path as far you move around!

so how come there are still rich men in Nigeria? Why haven't they been killed?
How many rich people were killed in your state last year?

NOETHNICITY:

Well, maybe because you're a nonentity. They do it to ALMOST everyone

The country is heading nowhere. Even the crook leaders stealing the Country's money know it. That's why they hold their loot mostly in foreign currency, send their kids abroad for school, and try to acquire properties abroad and a more valuable passport. It's a sinking ship!

Even if you do not have the skillset, just get out and try to acquire the appropriate skillset wherever you end up. With the appropriate skillset and hard work, there is great potential!

Nnamdipapa:
I disagree.

Japa, get the experience , pali and foreign cobtacts and return to Nigeria. Then visit annually. Do not sell important assets.
Living abroad is the biggest education of my life. It completely changed the way I view things.

Fyi-
Japa is different from leaving Naija with a visit or Shengen visa o. You are only a visitor and can never have same experience as a migrant.

@ bolded, how??
