hodari:See all your expenses and you still asking him if it's not the same UK you stay in? You are living a big man life in Yankee that is why you have no savings. My friend stays in UK alone his rent is £500 His home has a mini fridge and where the hell do you rent a fridge, microwave etc? What exactly are you shopping for £400 monthly? Didn't you see charity shops to buy cheap clothes for £2-£10?Don't you cook your food? You spend £400 on shopping but don't want to buy a fridge and microwave that will save you money in the long run. I don't think you live in the UK and if you do, this is a typical example of a broke Nigerian in Yankee. Go there and be forming big boy, don't save money and send here for investments. 4 Likes |

MISTAICEY02288:Oga calm down. it all depends on the location. where I live here in Badagry, there's currently a one bedroom self contain for rent at just 6.5k monthly. the kitchen and bathroom are tiled, the walls painted, the rooms big enough. I can't pay 250k a year for a two bedroom flat. it's outrageous. here in Badagry, 500k-700k would build you a mediocre house that you can even boast off to friends. some of my neighbors are vulcanizers, market women, petty traders etc. yet they all have homes to call theirs. 2 Likes |

Mustiboy: Ive heard you. And i hope you also read the example of the couple i sighted up there too? The truth still remains that most developed places in Naija will never give out 2 bedroom apartment for 250k. You go ask around. And that you get cheap accommodations in Badagry doesn't mean all working class people should move to Badagry. Most working class people in top cities in this Naija pay much more for nice apartments. |

I had always wondered whether there is a subversive plot in the US dream that promotes debt as the binding glue to ensure people have little time to live life outside the defined stereotypes. School Loan, Car Loan, Wedding Loan, House Loan, Easy Credit to Children's education loan and then finally live off the IRA and 401k. 3 Likes 1 Share |

You haven't seen anything. People have been deceived, you will be shocked. I know someone who left a great job and life in Nigeria and relocated with his family, now he is full of regrets. He can't return cause himself and wife resigned from jobs people are wishing for. Funny thing they are being fed now by relatives cause they aren't working though they are trying to get their documents. Great mistake, and he acknowledges it. richybanky: 1 Like |

1234onyekwe: University of Abuja is located in a wilderness. That's one. Two, if you know your geography well Gwagwalada is west of FCT. Bwari is the northern axis. Three, Gwagwalada has the worst infrastructure in the whole of the FCT. You'll think you are in Okpoko (Onitsha) while walking Gwagwalada main streets. I told you I live here. You can't survive here without lots of money unless you chose to live worse than people in the remote villages which means living in Gwari villages with next to no amenities. |

shallysgirl:going their without papers intact is a bad idea, your friend made an ignorant mistake! Before you relocate, it's best you have someone to help you settle there or you go alone there at first. It's even better if you did your masters or Bsc there, that will give you an edge on employment. They won't employ you with your naija degree. My pastor and his wife relocated to USA via Dvc lottery back then, the man was initially regretting the move seriously because all they had was a degree that isn't recognised. And he couldn't do odd jobs, but along the line both him and his wife found something doing and his wife started a nursing course. She's a Registered nurse now, and earns heavily. They built what we call a mansion somewhere in Enugu town within two years and are doing excellently. Don't say what you don't know, you only suffer in Yankee if you are illegal with no papers, if you have papers and you are legal the only thing holding you from working is choice. Your friend might regret the move now, but in 3 years he will understand he made the best decision for himself and family. Nigeria is hell!!! You won't know until you visit developed countries, to come back will give you high blood pressure. 3 Likes |

BlowJobs: And someone will believe this If your car is not insured you will pay through your nose if the unexpected happens, as for clothes you might be thrifty hence you don't need to buy new clothes monthly, for others it is important. You are living off your fiancé hence you are relaxed, if she decides to handover financial upkeep to you as the man, you won't survive it. |

timesup234: Are you focusing on American or Nigerian immigrants in America. You generalize too much. American hustler? Where do you want to belong. If you want to remain an hustler then it could take you that long because an hustler's life is never stable. But if you are chanced to take the right steps and have a hood career then you can raise a down payment for a home in months. If one decide to complete mortgage payment it can be done sooner. It's a matter of choice. |

grossintel:I'm in London studying for a master's degree for a year. I'll be out of here by next August, 2018. Why on earth do I need to buy all those things for? Plus the trouble of shipping them back home once i'm done (who will buy them in UK?) It's cheaper to rent them, common sense!! Your friend is lying to you.
