Nigerians working in the civil service of Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire? As japa hustlers or senior advisers that are well paid? I doubt that you have ever visited Côte d’Ivoire with this okpata wey you dey yearn.

Ogbeni, I repeat. If you are a poor man in Naija looking for where to japa to hustle to earn a living, avoid Côte d’Ivoire if you no wan suffer for this world. I don talk my own.

You are just talking rubbish because in any country you work according to your qualifications.

To each his own

If you feel Nigeria would favor you stay, if you feel it won't leave.......

You are on point bro, the rate at which people travel out now irritates me. I need me a connect in the oil and gas sect, a connect to a strong politician won't be a bad idea also.

I've always known that Nigeria is not good only to the broke people, the rich goes out for vacation, businesses and study and prefer to come back as soon as possible.

Which qualifications? You think you don’t need work permit to work in those countries? And you think they give work permit to you to come and take jobs from nationals of their country? Why am I even wasting my time responding to you? You go just open mouth waaa dey mislead people. You wey never see international airport before. Hiss

Thanks bro. I also recommend pathfinder/Gobarau school, being an english teacher won't be a bad idea for you.

You are a clown else how would you say someone you never met has no intl passport? I tried to insult you but was restrained by the bot. I can see that having an international passport and travelling out of the country are among your greatest achievements, isn't it?

Nigerian professionals work in North America and Europe. They also work in Ghana especially. That they require work permits don't negate this fact. Many times employers are desperate to employ and the pay is better than the pay in Nigeria. I doubt you have any other achievements outside travelling abroad. Do you?

There is absolutely no job creation taking place in Nigeria. Serious unemployment and underemployment. There are minimal opportunities period> So if anyone gets the opportunity to get out of the country, they should As long as they do it legally. And they should be ready to develop themselves and work hard at whereeever the destination may be.

Brain Lines

What are you trying to say pls?
I don't fully understand.

The reason why every Tom, Dick and Harry want to go to certain countries is because the minimum wage is high but the reality is that minimum wage earners don't have it easy in any country and countries with ultra high minimum wage also have ultra high living expenses. The high minimum wage is the attraction or ad.
In reality, every country has expatriates or immigrant workers but the heavy traffic is to countries with high minimum wage.
In conclusion, employers only pay according to the cost of living in each country. Employers are not there to save anybody. If cost of living rises in Nigeria to be at par with the UK then the wages will respond in the same way and the minimum wages will be similar even without regulations but a high cost of living is a disadvantage in any country.
If you are a barber, trucker, plumber, teacher and etc in any country, what you will achieve in life will not be much more than own your own home, train your children and etc and you will do it with whatever is the per Capita GDP of your country.

Why does it irritate you? Are they travelling with your money? But the way your politicians steal the commonwealth of the people does not irritate you. Nigerians are not really different from the people who govern them.

weldone British man, carry ur m*m* comot here abeg

Wow.

Great.

But you should also note dat even if cost of living is high in countries with high wages, they monitor their inflation(cost of goods) to tally with their citizens income, so atleast you spend and see value, unlike nigeria, even if nigeria becomes a high income country, it will still remain the same with high inflation.

Yes because inflation is source of income for all governments. If a government is not collecting enough taxes ie the tax to GDP ratio is very low then they will print money to spend and this is inflation. High income countries are better run because they have a high tax to GDP ratio generally and the government therefore have enough money to spend to make things better for all.

However any money you invest is out of reach of inflation and therefore the main people who suffer inflation in Nigeria are fixed income earners. When there is inflation, your investment will go up in value.

In my opinion, Nigerians have advantage in owning their own homes while people in high income countries can own nice cars, flashy things and be able to afford expensive holidays.

If Nigeria gets it's acts together and substantially increase its tax to GDP ratio to have money to solve it's problems like mass education, healthcare, infrastructure and etc then it will have a huge advantage. Nigerians still won't be able to afford expensive things and expensive holidays etc but investors will troop in.

The best bet however is for high income countries to force down their cost of living for there to be evenness.

I am not the reason why you are broke and frustrated.

let me guess that you are out of the country (nigeria), let me also tell you for free that you can be outside the country and still not be as rich as the people in the country. Enjoy your serene environment in peace, you have a poor mentality to be rich in reality.

Damn, the way travel agencies search for customers ehn and lots of Nairalanders are even more educated than some agencies . A friend was telling me there are lots of potential travellers but most of them are scared .

Wow.

Brilliant.

Sorry for my late response.

Amalekki:
Well said and 100% agree with the OP. Japa if you can but if you are unskilled you better take care of that first before you leave Nigeria.

Those who japaed and are moaning abroad are those who capitalized on our terrible system to move ahead but found their true level abroad. A bank manager with no real tangible skill or respected certification in investing/banking/accounting is not worth more than a cleaner at a warehouse in the UK, US or Canada.

In essence, a cat pretending to be a tiger in Nigeria due to our horrible system will almost always rediscover his or her true self as a mere cat abroad. Skill up right from Nigeria even if it's being an expert barber, welder, mechanic or HVAC tech then move. Lastly, your move must be legal. It's expensive but that's the reality or it will end in tears.

You spoke facts there.
