America is the one of the world's most privileged countries. They are welcome to Nigeria if they have plenty of USD to spend grin

If you understand what it means that your GDP is $30 trillion when your population is just a little over 300 million, you don't know how privileged you are.
Some do, many don't.

The issue is America has a strong currency. That is a blessing, but it is also a curse in that cost of living in the US can be very expensive, so they move to a country where their dollars can stretch more and more better.

One American guy moved to the Phillipines...and he was able to build a house with money that won't have done the same for him in the USA.

Even some Nigerians who have worked in America for their lives, come back here to retire, build house and live a lifestyle that is rich...on their American pensions that in the US would be a struggle to be on.

KInd of, it's side effect of a strong currency..

It;s even happening in Argentina now. Argentina has a stronger currency thanks to Millei's reforms...good...but it means that costs and prices of things are now high ...so many Argentines are going to chille to buy stuff at cheaper prices that they cannot buy in Argentina ..bcause chille has a weaker currency.

Doesn't mean we should abandon capitalism. Capitalism is bad, but all the alternatives so far are worse. And as for socialism and communism...most socialst countries end up borrowing from the capitalist countries.

How many Nigerians in America are queuing up to japada to Nigeria, so they can drink water from shitty boreholes with us, since we don't expect governors to employ workers to make pipe borne water available huh

It is by far better than Enugu.

500 gallons of water go for N20k. Multiply by 4 in a month, that's N80k. By extrapolation, that's N960k in a year on water alone. Why? Because the governor believes that clean and accessible water is the least of his worries. Yet they prance around like Enugu is Abuja even though the red muddy soil will have residents looking like they went tomb-raiding at night.

But then, considering where it was before Peter Mba, one can understand the accolades being that he moved the town from 16th Century to 17th Century but not anywhere near 20th Century. 21st Century is a stretch. EEDC? The worst of all.

The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources in Lagos State, Mahmood Adegbite, has said that people drilling borehole in the Lekki axis of the state is probably drinking ‘’shit water.”

While speaking at a stakeholders meeting in the state recently, Adegbite noted that contaminated boreholes in Lekki pose health risk and added that treatment of waste water would eradicate any form of disease that may arise from it.

He said, “On waste water treatment, I will say that everyone digging borehole within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water.’

We saw this coming, many years ago and came back. My friend would be reading this news without any iota of surprise. Egypt was once world power, until their empire came to an end.

America will be like Egypt one day...maybe sooner than anticipated. No world power retains it forever. Only God is eternal. Nigerians living there should start having a plan B.

His life goal is to go to Amelika don’t bust the bubble they need some Mugu to go fight their wars.

I am just laughing as I read comments. The country is so unstable and bankrupt but some find it difficult to read things. Your safety and welfare is more important.

I have a child that was borne there and I stopped renewing her passport in 2019 and want her to take the decision to renounce her citizenship.

You're a bloody liar. Who told you there's no hardship anywhere in the world? You and @Kaliningrad are always menstruating in your pads when it concerns America. Have you fixed Nigeria? Is the country you live in better of today? Hypocrites.

Lol, Oga forget all those sweet-sounding statistics, that's just on paper. In reality, the US is a county where less than 1% of the population ownes more than 50% of the wealth, while others struggle daily and live paycheck to paycheck. Majority of American workers will go broke if they just miss one or two day's paychecks, that's why they work themselves to death while the Billionaires like Musk and Bezos and the rest pay them peanuts. The richest blessed country on Earth, yet more than 5 million of their citizens are homeless and more than 150 people commit suicide every single day!!!

Last last na imperialism, foreign military adventures and militarized economy/state go kill America.

Spending excessive money on foreign wars and military industrial complex but neglecting the basis needs of her people......... The true story of America failed empire.

A little secret, people migrate, not just Nigerians, and not because their country is bad or awful.

A lot of Americans migrate to thailand and mexico. Not because both countries are strong, or better, but because the relative strength of the dollar means they can live like kings there.

It is only in Nigeria that we think that japa must be for economic purposes...or that it is because country bad and no anemites.
Makes sense.

But I've heard Kuwaiti and Bahraini hardly migrate.

Don't even know how true that is as I no even get time to check.
Re: Record Number Of Americans Leaving The Country & Renouncing Their Citizenship by DickenClarq(f):
YES! It happened in Trump's first tenure and it is repeating itself again.


Trump is the most hated man in America currently, while the rest of the world see him as a Clown.
Even his MAGA wing die-hard supporters are now saying he was a mistake.

How can a president say that he don't care if prices of stuffs are going up due to the Useless Iranian war,
that he only want to stop Iran from from having a nuclear weapon, let Americans suffer.

When I see Nigerians openly insulting their country on social media, I find it funny. Go and check Americans social media spaces
The insult the presidents, curse their country and say worst things. One once wrote that if he can't relocate out of America by 30 years he will commit suicide.


May God help us

PGA rest with your lies. As at today, there are 25 million millionaires in America. That doesn't look like 1% to me.

America is still the fastest and easiest to become a millionaire in the world irrespective of your background. It remains the best place in the world for an immigrant for economic opportunities.

Instead of u looking at negatives, look at millions whose lives were turned around by America and make them your role models.

The truth is era of travelling out just for the sake of it is gone. Unless u attain solid middle class in any nation u live, there's no way u can escape economic struggle or paycheck to paycheck lifestyle. That's 2026 for u.

These are Americans who prefer good quality of life than political parties at any cost.

Even the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Gainsburg threatened to move to Canada if Trump was elected in his first term.

Most of those who wished they could, were tied down by other consideration. It is more a reflection of how their country is going down.

As for Nigerians, they only care about the political leadership of any party as long as that leader is from their ethnic group. Knowing full well, it has never benefited their generation.

Just want the satisfaction of denying a leader from another ethnic group.

Capitalism is not bad. Poverty is the natural state of things. We are animals remember, albeit higher ones. We come with nothing and shall also go with nothing. Capitalism is not bad.
