Oh okay. Have a safe trip
And please if you wanna share the connection stuff with me for that my relative. Heres my mail. Jide.muraina@aol.com. Thanks

EVILFOREST:

Email is better.
Just know that there are genuine agencies.
Although they are very expensive, that's why people avoid them as usual, go through back door and fail woefully.
But they discharge their duties with utmost regard, as though their life depends on your success.

Your mentor has been caught for lying, take note

grossintel:
And what exactly did he lie about? Being in Canada or Australia? What's the distance between the two? If you have an Australian visa you don't need a visa to Canada, you only need an eTA. By the way I'm tired of answering mentions, life is the way you see it. If you feel outside the country is better for you, then go, if not stay where you are. Personally for me, it's not so I'm moving, I don't think that's anyone's problem, thank you.

What most of these guys dont even know is that Lagos economy with a GDP of $137billion in 2017 is bigger than almost 20 states in America and thats when calculated in nominal GDP. If we use the PPP (purchasing power) terms, Lagos economy is bigger than over 35 states in America. We take time to study these things and dont post popular opinion or beer parlor talk.

OP, I never saw this write up, you put up.
I must confess that you have SINNED and fallen short of the glory of GOD.
How could you concieve such a write up...??
Comparing LAGOS to cities in the US...
Please, what is really spectacular about Lagos..??
LAGOS, a city with about 24 million people, of which 22milion are aggressively angry also with about 500, 000 cars crossing third mainland bridge alone on daily basis...
No subways, no metros, no efficient transport system.
No chopper hangers, no air ambulance, no good roads.

May God forgive you.
I can't imagine a city in the US with such population and still lacks such.
NEW YORK is about 10million, yet has all these and still needs more.
The annual budget of the US for security alone is larger than the entire budget of EUROPE in all parameters.
The US funds 25% of the UN budget, which makes them a stakeholder while Nigeria is an onlooker.

In fact, for LYING I won't assist you again....
I thought I was rubbing shoulders with a fact finder who is enlightened, educated and exposed..

You think people leave the country solely to make money? have you heard of "quality of life"?

bimbotek:


Op....you need to define what a bank manager is. bank manager na just title oooo. A manager grade in a bank starts from AM( assistant manager) next is DM(deputy manager).
Trust me op....AM grade in some banks earn 500k monthly and I bet u dont want to know what they use that salary to do.....from topping up when u book expensive TD's to never ending PR's to get quality accounts....op no beef us wen u see us in suit oooo....na just packaging. If u are still in doubt walk down to broad street and see loan shacks advertising loans to bankers and see us scrambling for it. Bottom line is ur disposable income...compare odd jobbers in the US with some oda professional in Nigeria not bank managers pls.

Big mistake, whole family relocate not papers haba,thier village people logged unto their wi fi

wemmyklein:


You are very right sir, currently I have 3 families living with me with their children total of 14 people .Imagine!2 of them are bank officers earning 600k and 300k respectively.They decided to relocate because of there children and future.i asked them why did you relocate they said because of there children and too much Loan from their jobs and microfinance banks. I was told most bankers live a fake life that most of them rely on loans from their jobs.

grossintel:
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.

I don't stay in benin but I know for a fact! I stay in Ajah and pay 300k for a two bedroom

shallysgirl:
Well, some give such excuse.
If you are financially okay, you get the best quality of life wherever you live. Even in the poorest countries if the world, those who do well financially have the best quality of life.

QUALITY OF LIFE

the general well-being of a person or society, defined in terms of health and happiness, rather than wealth

supersystemsnig:



Nope. Trust me. I know a few personally and their pay...don't ask me how i know. this one works on the island self, earns 1.5M Monthly, she's not even the assistant manager...

BlowJobs:


That's why i drive carefully and responsibly.
I do not live off anyone. In the US, it is a joint partnership. Not like naija where the husband is rolely responsible fir the entire family.

WellEndowed:


Quality of life in Nigeria? where? Banana Island, Lekki, VI at what cost? 24 hour air pollution a.k.a generator. May this so called managers and/or their relatives who earn 1.5 million naira/month not end up with diseases that require expensive treatment e.g. 3x a week dialysis or chemotherapy. Who knows, their employers might decide to give them months off work and still pay them.

How many years of work(without "cheating/connections" did it take them to successfully climb the ladder and become managers?

You want to talk quality of life? Why do I even bother

timesup234:
Same thing I have been typing and pleading since the beginning of this thread. Are you people that dumb? Before you engage me make sure you do a thorough research or you will end up being disgraced. Intellectually most people are very lazy. The human brain has too many shortcomings. Now listen and listen good- Lagos has a bigger GDP than 18 states in America and that's even in nominal GDP where the whole economic output is converted in United States dollars. When the naira comes into play in terms of purchase power parity, Lagos economy is bigger than almost 35 or more states in America. I am your lecturer and I will teach you what you missed in school...

The OP, is pained .....
Deeply pained that he has missed an opportunity of traveling to the US.

Let me remind you that the minimum wage of the US is 11usd per hour.
The least minimum house rent is 700usd per month.
If you are not an oringo man, you will save very well, full stop.

There is LIFE in America, people find it difficult saving that's all....
Most people who find life difficult there, are people who sneaked into the US.
If you are a permanent resident or citizen, then just carry go...nothing do you

D question is how many Nigerians are willing to do such menial job here, wen pride and big bro level wan finish dem

NwaChibuzor:
I'ev read through pages 1-31 and I can safely say people are very ignorant and jealous. The USA is better than this God forsaken country called Nigeria. You are very certain to live a decent life if you work hard enough. Nobody will cheat you, nobody will threaten you. In naija, everyone wants to show power with the ''do you know who I am'' syndrome. All because na friend to army general or because na government secretary or because he met a top politician at a party. The health sector here is messed up, security zero, social amenities zero, education sector zero. Many of those children lectures in Nigerian universities will travel abroad to get a degree and now come back home to be forming james bond. Telling a child that he won't pass his course for no just reason. In the USA this is impossible. You are passed accordingly to how well you do in examinations. Its in Nigeria where a private soldier will feel he is greater than a SAN lawyer. They feel they are untouchable. In the USA, they love their military. Sometimes ago, i saw a pic on the net of a Nigerian posing for a photo with the US navy seals. He captioned it ''if na naija who born me to try this kind thing''. Its even better living in slums in the USA than living in gwagwalada, maitama, lekki, VGC, asokoro or banana island here in this useless country. In the USA, if you have a problem, you just call 911 and the call is transferred to the necessary department. In naija can that ever happen. Zero power supply, corruption, mis management, look at our universities, what we boast of here can't even be ranked among the top 20 in Africa and thousands in world. No improvement in the health sector either . Graduated from university years ago and everyday I still think of when I'll buy my own land, build my own house and do the many good things of life. I so much hate this country abeg. Make I just stop here before i vex use knife chook person but 1 final word is I'll gladly take the role of a cleaner or mortuary attendant in the USA. If i no build my own mansion in nigeria within 5 years then something is wrong somewhere.

Coldfeets:


It's not a question of pride bro.

It's more of the question of pay.

How can I wash plates for you in your restaurant and at the end of the day you tell me that you will only pay me 3000 naira at the end of the month because say market no dey.

What will I be doing with your 3000 naira?

And it's not as if you will still give me time to go to another plate to work for another 3000 naira like they normally do in america such that I can aggregate all those 3000s.

Damn!

Nigerian employers can be so exploitative and wicked.

They can easily get away with practicing all manner of exploiting and abusing people all because there's unemployment in the land.

So what you term pride might actually be self respect.

spartacus11:


I get ur gist, d truth his laborers with good manner of approach and marketing skill are making money

People should get a skill, upgrade themselves, and start earning, u go school nor mean say make u no go learn handwork

Handwork is what is paying in nigeria of today not month ending salary
