Please, people provide numbers to support your claims. Again, names jobs that allow you to become millionaire. Also google the average saving account in America. For example, if you want to name medical doctor. Google the average student loan debt the that the medical doctor acquires to study in the United States. Then google the average income for a new resident doctor and his potential earning when he/she finishes residency.

Google search: Exactly how much do lawyers make?

Some first-year associates at larger firms make more and experienced lawyers in the firm can take home several million a year. Partners at the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen and Katz make, on average, $4.9 million a year according to the American Lawyer Magazine.

wao... no hope then.. thanks

I have consistently read your comments on this thread and noticed that you really wanna make a move but you don't know how. What more, age is on your side. You need to consult a professional travel agent to get the right information so as to help you make an informed decision.

There is this Agent I know based in Warri (I've never met him in person though but have his contact. Knew him through my fiancee's family). He is the one that helped her elder sister and two younger brothers get admission in Canada two years ago and her admission in UK. The man is good!

I tested him out with my younger sister and her hubby (they wedded last month) early this year and now they are expecting their visa in coming days. Waiting expectantly to see if they'll be given Canadian visa. Mind you they both are going with student visa but may not really pursue education at the moment. Mt inlaw has a friend who wants to put him in a job while his wife (my sister) studies.

Comprehend what is written before making a reply. I said she should learn a skill that will enable her provide a service before she ever gets work permit.

You are one of those that believe that job is the only way to earn money. Limited in thinking. The informal sector in every country is huge.

When the wife gets there she can claim asylum, if they didn't come though skilled workers programme.


/
She gets visas and travel with her whole family. They land in Canada. She claims assylum. She starts earning money immediately with her skill since a job is not the only way to make money grin grin

You never mentioned accommodation and other immediate challenges.

How do you define delusion? You fit the profile of those that get lured with fairy tales into crossing Sahara desert. SMH

Ok this will be last response on this thread cos obviously you are NOT listening. You say Thomas Edison, at least we know of his invention. I am TELLING you that this children of the wealthy in Nigeria, their parents started off with corrupt political connections and they kept it for generations and line up juicy positions and contracts for their children. Ask yourself, international dynasty, Hilton even TRUMP we can trace back how the founder made their wealth.

Anyways my point is, if you are going to make it anywhere in the world, LEGALLY there is is higher chance you will make in a Western country. Doesn’t mean people don’t make it in Nigeria or people don’t fail in America. If you want to make it @ 47 you will have a better chance in a stable country. So you can count all the successful Nigerian you know, but for every 1 that made it in Nigeria, there are 10 that made in in America.
in all your arguments you have avoided the successful young folks making news in Nigeria that I mentioned. Again, don’t just advice someone to leave without considering his background. Immigration assessment check your background to help determine if you are fit. They won’t come with the “oh leave, America is great” story you are painting here. I am wondering why the 10 you know aren’t on Forbes list yet

They are averages.

Google: Average annual salary of a lawyer in 2018?

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the average annual salary for a lawyer in 2016 to be $139,880. This works out to be around $11,656 per month on average.

Okay is that before or after taxes? Even its take home and that lawyer saves all his incomes , it would still take him/her about 7.5 years. So no it easy to become a millionaire. Shey the lawyer no go eat during that time period.

Please use your brain, you said it should be easy to save money. If for example, the physician earn $200,000 after years of residency, he/she mostly likely has student tons of student loan debt hovering his/her head.

Stop making a fool of yourself. You can become a millionaire in US simply by going to school, getting a high-paying job, and saving enough. Not possible in Nigeria.

This is AVERAGE.

Google: average physician salary:

The average overall physician salary, including specialties and primary care, is $299,000. This represents a modest increase from last year.

You are absolutely right.

My wife and I made this decision to bring each of our kids back to Nigeria after their middle school, after we noticed the deteriorating behavior and academics in our first child.

This same child now attend a top 10 liberal arts college in the US (2nd year), while her middle school friends are barely cutting it in community colleges or became dropouts. And yes, she did take SSCE and applied from Nigeria, but as a US citizen.

Entitlement mentality and peer influence are damaging kids' future in the US.

Please I need your advice on how to convince a spouse on relocating your kids to Nigeria particularly when your spouse is a USA citizen or PR who haven’t been to any part of the world except the USA . Please I need your honest advice on this

Are you migrating legally? If yes...

It will take your husband at least 10 years to practice as a doctor in US if he is very smart (USMLE + residency). He can change to other profession in the medical field. In that case, at least 3 years for something decent. It will be easier for you to start in Nursing (challenge the Board exams).

If you are migrating to stay illegally, be ready to hate your life for years. 5 years down the drain, you still may not be able to find your footing.

The end result: Your marriage will pack up.

Every move has to be LEGAL.
We won't mind the number of years the process will take.
I guess USA is out of it, we may consider Canada or Australia.
Thanks so much

No matter how useless your Job is, u should make at least 800k in Naira every month as the poorest person with papers after Tax deductions.
House Rent should take at least 700USD monthly for the cheapest axis.
However FOOD is very very very very very very CHEAP

TRUCK DRIVERS are paid 30USD every hour. Some are paid as high as 50USD.

Wonderful insights here and I commend the able minds here sharing experiences.

A lot of lies are being spread on this site.

To the op, below are direct link from the US and Canada immigration sites. Both summarize ways to get permanent residency. Go through each one and see which option you qualify for.

Canada -https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada.html?_ga=2.258684938.1899775825.1538506701-1494708104.1538506701

If you have the kind of money that you can migrate through investment, then why not continue to make that money in Nigeria, then vacation out occasionally? Life is much sweeter that way.

The guidelines: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/immigrant-investor-visas.html



If I had assets of 1million dollars, why the hell will I waste it to immigrate? I can continue to grow my business, employ people locally, and have a much lower cost of living. People will call me sir, carry my bags for me, cook me good food, drive me around, and I can carry olosho without fear of arrest. I can attend weddings, trash talk with my friends at a bush bar, while enjoying our warm weather. If I need healthcare that I can't get in Nigeria, I will travel out. I should go to USA and pay 35% of my income in taxes? I dey mad?
LoL u forgot to add when village people come decide to visit ur matter ehen besides you are investing and not throwing away the money so there will be ROI and knowing ur investment is in a safe environment will give peace of mind
