If you have the means to leave this country legally, pls move out. FYI if you think you can make it plain, clean, legit and direct , then move out. There is no hope for you when you beat them, so to have a little hope, join them.

And btw, why do you want to regret moving to Copenhagen or Oslo or Norway or Denmark or Netherlands? Places there's value for human life .
Ok, value for human life. How come they all have higher suicide rates than Naija? cheesy

You can at least go get a job cleaning toilets for minimum wage abroad.

In Naija, the options are the dehumanising beg or steal or ignorant prayer!

It is beyond your current level of evolution that is why it is bewildering

Generally people seek that which confirms what they know or believe

Anything else is painful

Abroad is sweet but just hold one million pounds before you go or else you go suffer. Bills and taxation go finish you
Having some money is good, but one million pounds is at the extreme, except the person does not want to work.

that's the point. Abroad is only sweet if you don't have to work. And you need 1 million pounds for that. Buy house cash down 300 k and put 600 k into fixed deposit of 10 percent and collect 60 k pounds every year and chop life in UK. 😁😁

This is a proof that money is not everything. Money can be made in Nigeria. But there are levels of comfort that money can never guarantee in Nigeria. Some poor people abroad are more comfortable than some rich people in Nigeria.

The only reason Nigerians/Black people go abroad is because nonblacks are constantly stealing resources and undermining our governments. Black people are not immigrants. Black people are refugees of neocolonialism and oligarchs.

The last thing any black person wants is to live in some nonblack's shit country. Nonblacks are ugly af. Pale, bad built, and look like the inbred or missing link they are. Their cultures are lame and boring. Their countries are ugly. Their food is garbage, and their music is terrible. And they're unpleasant to live around, work with, and do business with. They're literally too stup!d to not be racist. They're like wild animals that can't learn. Then there's the fact that they pollute your children's minds with their depravity. And they erode your culture. One day you may have grandchildren that don't speak Yoruba/Igbo/etc., or worse, they may be mixed race.
interestingly this is almost the same view they have of black people even among the educated ones.

Please don't let Nigeria politician see this your comment. Let them leave some money for the poor masses. But come to think of it, no bank gives 10% on fixed deposit in most western countries. The most on CDs is around 4%. (minus income tax). So you will be looking at 24k interest, minus tax. Net could be 20k.
From that 20k, you pay the property tax on your house, say 7k,
Pay home insurance say 5k
Utilities (water , electricity, gas. internet,) alone could be on monthly 1k. x 12 = 12k yearly.

So far we have 24k on expenditure. While your income is just 20K
Where will you find the extra money to "flex" if you don't work?

ahhhh you missed out the part where I said house 300k and fixed deposit 600k. If you have 600k you will get higher rates. Or you can put the money on usa government Treasury bonds at like 20 percent interest. Now you have 100 k cash at hand to play with. Buy a small car 10k and drive Uber 2 times a week for extra pocket change to flex

Will you keep quiet.

What do you know about 'Sub-Saharan Africa' apart from the selective, biased garbage you see on CNN?

How many of the 54 African countries have you visited?

What do you know about Tanzania?

Or Gambia?

Or Senegal?

Or Ivory Coast?

Or Bostwana?

Or Rwanda?

Or Kenya?

Or Namibia?

Or Mozambique?

Or Angola?

Can you even name more than one city, if any, in those countries?

Most of you here know Nothing about Africa.

I did not miss any part in the calculation. I calculated based on the remaining 600k at 4% interest rate. And that is 24K per annum. Less tax would be 20k.

Secondly, the current US Treasury bond yield is 4.4% at most.

ok buy 10k car with the remaining 100k cash and Uber twice a week. It's still a life of ease. No stress. Use the rest to pursue your hobby which could be say you enjoy vlogging on YouTube etc. that's another income. Etc. life can be easy if you are blessed with a starting lump sum.

Why will someone in a better country miss a place where there's no peace of mind? Fear of kidnappers, no light, no good road, hunger everywhere. Except the people that traveled through Backdoor and not finding it easy to get papers.

The truth of the matter is that most African countries oppressed their fellow citizens in the name of tribal Superiority eg hausa yerobas oppressing igbos just because of the war they lost and never want a better arrangement with them so as to live happily with them that is why Tribalism is promoted and the politicians take the advantages to be looting anything lootable without consequences until we free ourselves we keep japaing to to the western world and impoverished ourselves 💟
