Mehn, it's hard to choose, especially when relocating to North America is utmost on my mind right now. Our money keeps becoming valueless with time that N20m doesn't look so attractive anymore. I guess only N1b can make me choose to stay back.

When you don't know what to do with N20m, that is when it is value less..

I really am trying to be patient with you because you are talking out of ignorance. On your point about why everyone is not doing it, well you have to live here to understand. People are generally lazy and want to live on welfare. There is no way to help people like that. Also one out of two Nigerian you see is here illegally so how can they achieve anything? On you point about the name of the university, well, i might as well google a name for you and there would be no way for you to verify, so what's the point?
On your point about the 120k, every soldier is given a certain amount to go to school. It's called the G.I bill. You can only use it for school, rent and tuition. Quality education guarantees you a six figure job so do the math. Again, i stress that you do understand that 20mil is only 10k. That's my tax refund this year alone.
hehehe don't take it personal dude... Stop going off point... we are not discussing whether Nigeria is better than America now.. we all know America is better than Nigeria... the topic is, which one would you rather choose, 20million or american passport.... the person I quoted made it look like, immediately you enter America, you enroll into school, start living America dream. he didn't think about accommodations, feeding and stuff as been an American doest guarantee you have auto accommodation. you have to work to raise enough money to get accommodation or have someone help you out before you can start think about school and how to get loan for school or whatever.. like you said, a good school guarantees 6 figures, but is it that easy to enter that good school even if you have enough money let alone you that is going on loan. but in Nigeria, your money dictates your school. I have not been to America, I have been European countries, I may not have idea of how things work in America but it's definitely not as rosey as you painted it.

I dont need 20million,just give me 2million and nigeria is all mine,what am i looking for outside nijia,i have traveled the world and i know there is nowhere close to nijia.it is those who havent travel that believe another mans country is heaven and there own is hell,when they reach there them go know how far.

news flash over 70% of the Nigerians abroad wish to come back but shame would not let them,plus they wouldn't be able to deceive you any longer about there life

Where you travel go my brother? You enter go chop aduro ni? N20m is less than what some Naija guys especially in IT are earning. Know a guy who earns $130k in Canada, Toronto to be precise. If you enter without papers, you can only work as a labourer.

You are going back to what i said originally. within six months or arriving i had quality accommodation, vehicle, medical and life insurance and already began my masters. it all depends on your choices. Some people wanted to drive cabs/clean toilet etc i chose a different route.

It's actually $500k

20M is nothing

A wrong investment and it's wiped out

A green card will open up opportunities for you to make multiples of the 20M

20m naira is between $84,000-$90,000 most with the current exchange and most of you will chose that?
Moving to US, Canada, and Australia (UK is not my thing) as a permanent residence is much much much better! Infact a million times better. I can understand if you're moving there on a regular visa then I might tell you that it won't be easy but going as a reseidence? Come on guys! You can't compare death (nigeria) to sleep (US, Canada, Australia).
And before you lecture me on any stupid business which is all I do and have been doing for over 15 years between Nigeria and US where I Live, don't forget the risk. I've done businesses here that would've rendered me broke/useless if it was in Nigeria and ended up smiling. I go to bed every night not caring if everything both at home and business location burn down tonight!
Then before you also lecture me about jobs and cleaning toilet and all that crap, remember the option is coming with/as a permanent resident. 20m naira? With exchange rate today, quality of life, education, health/hospital, etc, that's NO MONEY!

@Thismeanswar! I hope it doesn't lol


Moving to US with or as a permanent residence already gave you a whole lot of right, power, qualifications, etc compare to moving there on a regular visa.

Though it's not our (Nigerian immigrants) style, but as a residence there are programs that can put you in a house, feed you, and pay your school fees 100% job or no job. Don't miss things up as in coming with greencard/citizen to coming here on a regular visiting visa.

20M is enough for any sensible human being to build a decent business that will make going to america a tourism concern.

Not everyone is sensible.

$20M Naira is a good sum of money which can be used to set up business in Nigeria.
If you have marketable qualifications and skills and a U.S. green card you will be able to make a great salary. So this is a tough decision to make ... I will take the green card cool
