Saff:
You’ll be surprised. I wish some Nigerians could spend some time out of the country. It’s not as pretty as it may seem.

Thank God you said god... Lol Oracle

Saff:
100% true. With bills and bills and more bills. They’re pros and cons to it. My thing is, if you’re living a decent life, stable income and can feed yourself and family decently, stay in Nigeria and build yourself. You can always travel abroad for holidays. It’s really not by force.

franchasng:
Not true.

If you are talking about European countries, then yes u are right.

If u are living in Europe: Italy, Spain, Netherlands, France, Greece, Sweden, Hungary, Norway, UK, etc, etc without legal papers like RP, then it is better u stay back in Nigeria because the only job u can get are poo packing and maybe drug peddling at clubs.

But if u have permanent resident permit or citizenship which is rare, you are better of there than in Nigeria.


But for USA, whether as a legal resident or as an illegal resident, living in US is better than living in Nigeria unless u have a good job in Nigeria that pays u at least 200,000naira monthly as a single man or 250k monthly as a newly married man. If not, living in USA is better for any guy that's earning less than 200k monthly in Nigeria.

Same applies to Canada, Australia, South Korea, Japan, etc.

The only countries that are not that rosy are and I repeat:

1. UK
2. Spain
3. Italy
4. Sweden
5. Denmark
6. Belgium
7. France
8. Hungary
9. Greece
10. Netherlands
11. Turkey
12. Cyprus
13. Ukraine
Etc, etc

These countries favor only legal residents with full resident permit, and mostly medical professionals like doctors and nurses and maybe engineers (mechanical engineers with good experience)

Cut d lady some slack,its jst an harmless and simple question, she is being curious,dats it
Y are u all attacking d lady,nl nd bad mouth sha

Ugosample:
the truth is that most of the time, the girls who marry these foreign based guys knew those guys before they left for greener pastures

Sometimes it's by family referral, other times it's by connecting with a childhood friend you were close to, before he left abroad, and in other times, he just sees you, likes you and tries his luck

There is no straight forward answer to this question, I just painted real life scenarios on how most of those who marry foreign based people do so, so look for the one that best describe your situation and see how that goes


and by the way, why are a lot of people mad at what.she asked; D

she is an adult and knows what she wants Na;

Live and let live is the motto

Abroad is only good for holidays and shopping. I know 3 persons who have been to US for over 20+yrs now yet they can't boast of a plot of land in Nigeria.

cynthie140:
well, bros. I will have you know that I'm 23, a graduate, and pursuing a masters degree currently. you shouldn't just talk what you don't know. I have a lecturing job I'm even working on at the moment, so please. was merely asking out of curiosity.

Nigerians are very Negative minded people! Just look at how bitter and wicked nairalanders are! Filled with hate. She asked a simple question, if you feel it's inappropriate why are you raising abuses on her? Just ignore and leave. Nairaland will never be as big as forums like Quora and Steemit because these idiots are killing it. My sister, please Use Facebook. Upload nice pictures of you and search and add a few people leaving in the US. Please add a few else Facebook might block you. After sometime people living in the USA will begin to send you friend requests and chat you up. Just be an open book and don't form to be what you are not because they love easy people. With time you will find someone you like, please ask as many questions as you like including where he works, his age, how much he earns, his marriage history, they don't find such questions offensive like us. But never ask them for money please! Except they offer to help but always say no. If he loves you, he will offer to come here and marry you first. BTW, any one who mentions me to abuse me, Ogun fire you and your generations before you start typing a word

proudly9ja:
Are you anywhere near Nottingham?

CeeKay17:
If you were rich & comfortable, you wouldn't be meeting only broke boys. Guys hardly approach a lady that's clearly above their league. If broke boys are approaching you, it's because you're broke as well.

flexyrule:
Nigerians!!!
Frustration. Negativity. Rudeness. Arrogance. Very very low IQ.
Just look at the comments - just for a simple question.
If the whole world had this type of mentality, Quora would have been an online IRAQ.

They meet at Ekpo Abasi junction or Etim Edem park. You can still see some as Watt market.

don't say that o

I hear these days, these guys just approach anybody o

the "gold digging" tendency don grip the guys too

so your assertion is not always true

Saff:
What are the chances of every Nigerian wishing to locate to get to the USA or Canada? I don’t really know the struggle as I was born and raised in the U.K. Just from looking at family members and seeing other people locating to places around the world, it’s not as rosy as it may seem. It’s hard everywhere and if you can build yourself in Nigeria then do it.

cynthie140:
hian. I just asked a question. where do they meet them. I didn't say I want to follow them ni

CeeKay17:
Well I'm yet to see any comfortable babe that's dating a broke dude. Life isn't like what we see in the movies. Even DJ, Cuppy & her sister didn't mistakenly fall in love with some broke dude in their class or church.

dominique:
He will tell her to go and borrow, that's how one went to borrow 70k to treat "abroad" boyfriend's sick mum. Those scammers don't care if you have money or not, all they want you to send money to them.



Ehyah, sorry o.
