I suffered in Nigeria o. Thankfully I learnt tech then that was my saving grace. If I didn’t lock in that 2020, I don’t even know how my life would have been now. I would have probably killed myself 😂

Lol. You won't kill yourself O, cos when there's life there's hope.
I'm surprised that you weren't even into tech when you left and abandoned your job in Europe, and came back to Nigeria where there's no any hope. You get mind Boss, I swear🥱

lol I would have killed myself especially with the kind of pride I have inside me. I rather be a dead man than live as a poor man in this world and if the poverty no even get hope of escape for me there’s no need to continue living.

No my first job out of school when I was still a marine engineer was working in Europe in Italy precisely travelled and didn’t see the hype and got back to Nigeria. This was back in 2019 as Nigeria wasn’t as bad as today but as Nigeria got worst over the years I needed to escape. Europe was out of it. I never fancied any of the countries. My plan was the USA and moving to the USA from Nigeria was very hard so I two options came up that will enable that move long term and that’s how I ended up in chile. I don’t even know if I want to move from Chile Anymore as I can get everything I want in life here.

WowBro what did your family say when you came back from Italy to Nigeria

The guy talking on that tiktok video is a street guy in Brazil, & most of the street guys in Brazil are not necessarily concerned about having documentation, because majority of them works with the locals. If you know you know.

Alot of people thinks Brazil revolves just around Sao Paulo, Brazil is a very big country, and there are other states you can explore to go get your documents. But everyone is busy congesting themselves in Sao Paulo, hence the bureaucracy.

We know this , my concern is those people who agent will milk millions of naira telling them there many jobs in Brazil. Most Nigerians wants a place they can easily be making a living and earning, if it's for only documents or one have money for biz Brazil can be okay but not to go work but not for someone who wants to work.

Yes, you're right about those agents lying to their clients all because of money.
There are jobs just that the pay might not be encouraging, not much menial jobs that pays well the way it is in other western countries. That's why most people opt for business instead.
But if you have high demand skill and can speak the language, definitely you'll enjoy Brazil.

I grew up poor in Nigeria, so I learned to guard every little thing I get. Life was hard, so I always think about tomorrow. I worry I may not get money again. That feeling made me keep everything to myself.

Since I moved to Chile, that mindset still follows me. I am very careful with money. My girlfriend even told me I am stingy. That surprised me.

For example, I share a small room even though I can afford a better place. I could pay three years’ rent with one month’s salary, but I still stay where I am. I do not spend on clothes. I have never taken a vacation here. I mostly stay in my neighbourhood and only went to Santiago one day for a job interview.

It is not because I do not have money. Poverty in Nigeria left deep fears in me. I would rather protect what I have than risk losing it. Sometimes the fear is so bad I would rather not face a future with poverty. People may call me crazy, but these are the scars I carry. I am trying to change, but it is taking time.

Don't beat yourself over it.
You will come out of it with time.
You will loosen up.
I call it Post-Poverty Trauma (PPT).
Where you are scared of spending unnecessarily due to long exposure to hardship. Something very very common in Nigeria.
Reason why when you loosen up and start spending, families and friends in Nigeria always look at someone as wicked or wasteful because they believe you have to be extremely careful in spending it and should only be investing - their investment is mostly to dey buy land and mould block they build yeye houses sef.
There is this fear deep down you that keeps reminding you that poverty is lurking just behind the corner breathing down on you ready to pounce on you if you nogede.
It seems you are feeling the heavy breathing of poverty just close by waiting for you to make just a single simple mistake.
Have been there, I was there but slowly I started loosening up.
It was from buying 15k clothes to over 40k ones, sneakers started upgrading, perfumes sometimes over 100k and so many more.
Food taste and choices started changing, attending events/vacations/movies at cinemas and so many more.
My wife observed me for a long time a day and just said have changed a lot.
We don't argue about money again nor does she have to ask and ask or talk and talk before I do small small things. I just do them quietly even beyond her expectations and she always get surprised.
Chaii....
God punish poverty and Nigerian Politicians .... Amen

Depends on the western country. I tell you that the only western countries better than Chile are the US and Switzerland. There’s nothing in the west you can’t find here in Chile. The Chilean passport is as good as any western passport. The level of development in Chile here is better than a lot of western countries. I have lived in Italy and Chile is one billion times better than that country in every way possible.

So Chile is better than the UK, Spain, Germany and France?

Yes by one million times. Let’s even remove my remote job. I have worked here in chile with a local Chilean company and what I was earning after tax I can’t earn that in Europe. My first job here in Chile was for a Spanish company and I rejected it to stay here in Chile. In my own opinion, the only countries better than Chile are Switzerland and the USA. What I achieved here in Chile it will takes me 10 years or more in any European country to achieve what I have achieved in Chile in two years with the same knowledge and skills.

Anything that makes you sleep better at night bro. Chile has a stable small economy but you cant compare with giant of Europe. i get it, it is more suitable to you than anyway but common. I'm typing this while eating salmon from chile though.

What’s the giant of Europe? The one you have to pay 50 percent tax rate on puny salaries 😀😀🤪

Over the weekend I visited one of the poorest neighborhoods in my city here in Chile, and honestly, it hit me hard. The “poorest of the poor” Chileans are still living with a quality of life that even some of the wealthiest Nigerians can’t match.

Here’s what I mean: in Chile, even in the roughest areas, people have 24/7 clean running water hot and cold, straight from the tap. I’ve never once had to buy bottled water since I arrived; I drink directly from the tap without worry. There’s constant electricity. Affordable, stable internet. Every home has basics like a fridge and an oven.

Now compare that to Nigeria. How many Nigerians even have refrigerators? For most families, the “standard” is leaving food in the pot and reheating it every morning until it’s finished. People switch their data on and off just to manage internet costs. And the daily routine of carrying buckets to fetch water is normal in Lagos, the supposed commercial hub! I can’t even begin to imagine what life looks like in other Nigerian cities.

And the crazy part? The city I live in here isn’t even a top city in Chile it’s like the “Gombe” of Chile. Not in the top 10 for anything. Yet the living conditions here are lightyears ahead of what we have back home. Honestly, the black man has failed.

I don’t usually listen to Andrew Tate, but one of his videos recently crossed my timeline and it got me thinking. He said it’s easy to make more money in today’s world if you already have money, but extremely hard to make money if you don’t and that’s true. If I had 1 million USD right now, I know exactly where I’d invest it and confidently turn it into 5 to 10 million over the next decade. Back in the 80s and 90s, building wealth was even harder you often had to start a business, hire people, and take on huge risks. Today, starting a business is still possible, but the competition, especially against global corporations, is immense.

The real question is: how does someone actually get that first million? If you live in a struggling country, it’s 100 times harder. Sometimes I open my Binance app and see BNB at $1,000 or Bitcoin at $100,000, and I think if I had been earning what I earn now back in 2017, right after university, and invested in those assets, I would already have at least a million USD but life after university was hard and brutal. The truth is, with a million in cash invested wisely, you can never really be poor again, not with the opportunities that exist today.

As the saying goes: the best time to plant a tree was yesterday, the second-best time is today. Better to start now than to look back in ten years with regret. If you are reading this as a young man especially below 25 try everything legally to start earning money. Forget about people telling you there’s time, there’s no time. The wealth gap will get bigger and the chances for investing money you make will get slimmer. One needs to make as much money and save and invest. Saving money is very important.

Broooo, this is nothing but the absolute truth! I saw that video as well.
I do trading but funds ain't available that much. What template would you draw up for someonr hungry to break this jinx??

Chile at 40% or there about is not great either but the infrastructures in Europe are far better. I can put my kids in public schools in Europe without fear, in Chile the disparity between the public and private is very obvious. Let's not even talk about the currency.

I posted pictures of a public school close to my house on this thread. What infrastructure is available in Europe that is not available in chile? What’s with the currency? And Chiles tax rate at 40 percent is a very big lie. I pay two taxes in Chile including contributions and everything comes down to around 20 percent.

Lets see if you will put your child in a public school when you have one . The highest rate of your taxes is 40% depending on your income code and they tax on your worldwide income if you are a resident. There might be some deductibles that helps you bring it low which is available in europ as well. As good as it is it's not what you are making it to be online. I'm presently in Santiago and i will be leaving for Panama in 2 days incase you want to meet.

You will always be a Nigerian even if you chose to renounce your citizenship. There is no escaping for someone like me that values his family and heritage. I can enjoy the skyscrapers, smooth roads but i will never despise the humble beginnings . Good luck to you and eat your hotdogs and wines.

No o..Nigeria is a better country, we have stable light, security, zero corruption...I just heard that some people were sent to God in kwara state without visa and guess what? The president is about to go a book launch in oweri!

The country is really working, this is our humble beginning like the clown above me said.

If you said you will always be an Igbo man I would have completely accepted but Nigeria is a British construct. I am an Igbo man and soon I will be a Chilean man. Nothing concerns me with that British creation.

Per capita income doesnt mean anything if the money isn’t entering your pocket. The UK’s per capita income is 60000 dollars. How many Nigerians in the uk earn up to 30000 dollars a year. My first job in chile with a chilean company was paying me more than that. I still maintain my stance though. What I have achieved in chile in two years on a student visa with the restrictions on my visa I wont achieve it in any European country in 10 years with permanent residency maybe except Switzerland cause it’s the only country in Europe with high salaries and low taxes.

You've been blessed by God in Chile, there are many blessed by God in the UK and other European...leave the noise they make on nairaland about everybody doing minimum wage jobs, same way there are those doing minimum wage jobs in Chile.

Regardless, using an objective metric of wealth per head as capital income adjusted by PPP or Human Development Index, Chile falls well behind any Western European country.

Its good you are updating us on Chile. If the UK become too tiring, we will come join you in Chile.

If Chile is that good, people will be trooping there for jobs, Africans, Indians and others and it will all be in the news. Stop spewing propaganda.
