Caponi:

check out the life expectancy data (Canada :Male 80yrs vs Nigeria :Male 53yrs) , so yes he has a better chance of living long compared to folks in Naija.......

I don't think that guy you quoted, would understand what life expectancy is. Having a discussion with people like that can be very frustrating.

lastmessenger:
Supper story. With that kind of money,you can live the best life ever,afford the best health care and give your children the best right here in Nigeria. The guy to me is very myopic.
All he needs to do is to invest well or start up his own company.

lol!...which best health care does Nigeria have that a person with money can get

Even the president(Buhari) can not agree with you on that statement.

Lol...guyman get small change run go Canada dey yarn plenty story.. yes naija no make sense but people who really have money do not run to live permanently in Canada. The real wealthy people shuttle between naija and UK ,US or Canada. Their children school abroad while they visit naija on holiday. The parents also travel often to see their children. This guy nor really get any money as e dey claim. Na too much sufferhead make am think say him don arrive with tachere money way him dey earn. He is just an average guy and he did the normal thing moat average Nigerian will do. Money pass money abeg.

billbonesmd:
Just one million?
Grow up already

how much do you have?

Tastemoney:
If I had such a high paying job, I won't move an inch out of Nigeria.
I Will invest for my kids here

Some are living for their safety and that of their family. A situation whereby kidnappers now enter peoples home to kidnap and rape their wives is an abominable act..no man can stand...with your money you are not guaranteed security.

dochenaj:

What is the frequency of the "gun violence" and what's the casualty count. You can't just hear, "there is gun violence in the US" and without knowing the statistics, you jump off, comparing it to Nigeria's insecurity issues.
Everyday in Nigeria, countless number of people are killed by armed robbers, kidnappers, security agencies.
Yesterday my brother told me about a secondary school mate of his, while returning in the evening, he was waylaid by armed robbers and for resisting they shot him in the abdomen, he was rushed to a hospital but they couldn't find a matching blood for him, and he bled to death (what a painful way to die). The same yesterday a colleague going to Portharcourt and he was blocked by armed robbers/kidnappers he tried reversing the vehicle but he couldn't escape and these sons of Belial riddled his body with bullets and hacked him with axe, the only surviving son of his mother who it was said suffered stroke a while back. The rest of the passengers they kidnapped for ransom.
The story of Nigerian's insecurity is a sad tale, and nothing short of horror movie. What about the insecurity in the North, that is another epistle.

you may be right but I don't believe there is security anywhere in this world. I have never come face to face with an armed robber since I was born. I can't leave this country to go slave in another mans land.

bigpicture001:

He is a very foolish man that is just fascinated by snow and fine environment....

Very rich persons in NIgeria has secured places where they live and there would b no security problem...lagos electricity has vastly improved...

Nigeria is a ground where you could grow money fastest..he simpky has a mentality of a paid job worker...he dies nit know that the whites has prigrammed their land tgat salary earners can ...NEVER be come very rich.......

I dont envy him...my guy that earns just 1.5 mill monthly has bought 3 lands ..has 15 enployees...visit the UK and US at will for holidays...nd live in a serene and posh environment in a GRA... ..

He has set up two very progressing firms ......

Lagos electricity has vastly what?... I no want vex for you oooh

ugonology:
You will never know how messed up Nigeria is until:

1) you have a police case and require the services of security personnels.

2) you fall sick from an illness that is neither malaria or typhoid.

3) you graduate from University and begin job hunting.

4)you have a court case with a politician or highly placed personality.

5) when you drive from Lagos to Kano and will have to budget a bribe of 10,000 naira to share to police, SARS, NDLEA, ARMY, MOPOL, civil defense, and vigilante.

6) when you carry an accident victim to a hospital and you are arrested as suspect or forced to pay before the victim receives even first aid

7) when Abdullahi, Mohammed or one of his northern brothers decide to kidnap you, your wife or relative, around kaduna-abuja road and you are forced to pay all those millions on which your confidence is built as ransom to some illiterate bandits overnight!

When Kunle, femi or one of his southwestern brothers finally lay their hands on your old mothers sensitive banking information, and wipe out her life's saving in less than a minute!

9) Or finally, when chukwudi from onitsha sells you repackaged expired drugs, fake lucozade boost, even manually corked bottled water to take the fake drugs...and when you complain of complications, he refers you to Ikechukwu his brother to give you a more potent expired animal drug...

Friends, it's easy to sit in a beer parlour, eating isi-ewu, cat fish and pepper soup with cold bottles of drinks in the company of emotionally broken girls and feel Nigeria is the bomb!!! Many of us don't even realize our average life expectancy has droped to 53.4 (the lowest in west africa) we have become the poverty capital of the world, all our refineries are performing below 25%
in efficiency, we are Africa's largest market yet our youths are unemployed, our constitution was drafted like a slave trade receipt, so unity is more important than justice! Nigeria is joke.

The dude made the best decision in his life (especially for his kids) to leave this country...what is one million naira without basic amenities in place?
If you ever get the opportunity to leave....please, don't give your village people a chance.

and you finished us appropriately... sigh..

azraeljaheel:
Better to be a slave in a White mans land than a king here in Nigeria



Cuz your future and your kids own are guaranteed


But for me I don’t think I can earn 1m and want to leave this LAWLESS country where corruption na the Oder of the day patapaka I go travel out go flex

wow...thats all I can say no need wasting words on u

rattlesnake:
u must be joking..

The problem with some of our people os they dont know any better. A guy was arguing with his cousin who lives abroad saying that its impossible to have 24 hours uninterrupted power supply anywhere in the world a d accused his cousin of lying

AreaFada2:

He neva know how far.

As the guy probably nor get money he nor dey fear kidinappa.

I know several people lining up to leave for North America. All said if Buhari won the election, they'll. All processing their move now.

Some of them believed so much in Nigeria just years back. Some left well-paying jobs to do private business.

Now fuel cost alone in last few years has rendered business hardly profitable. Poor economy is not helping.

Their kids are at risk of kidnap.

One paid 4m Naira ransom to be released. Just an average guy trying out private business.

Many people in govt positions in Nigeria have their families tucked away abroad.

I was like that too. There was a time I believed in this dump. I remember attacking people who wanted to leave. Naija wahala reset my brain. I woke up one day I asked myself what can your money buy for you sef in this dump.

truthsayer009:


Thanks Ma'am, i love Canada too & no doubt, i think we all love it but one thing that bothers me is what you just mentioned.

How much people save at the end of the month, Now imagine living a nice cozy life in Canada and not be able to save some good money. At the end, i think such person is still Poor.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

why do Nigerians hate tax sooo much Nawa ooo

I laugh at so many ignorant people here .. If you’ve lived in abroad before or even worked as an IGM guy before who interact with this Oyibos 1 on 1 on daily basis, you will know that abroad is not an eldorado you think it is. You might be earning big but what you’re able to save nor invest at the end of say 10-20 years is all that matters. Anyone earning 1M or even 500k per month in Nigeria has a brighter prospects of being a serous wealthy man in 10-20 years time compared to his peers in abroad unless he/she is a bad planner/bad manager of resources.

A quick question, have you travelled out of the country before?
Secondly, there can never be absolute security anywhere. So making that a point is senseless. The question is relative security. What is the degree of security in the Western society as compared to Nigeria?
I'll rather be a comfortable and happy slave than a disgruntled prince.

I weep for Nigeria. The rate at which everyone is leaving Nigeria. Who will be left to repair the rot? It's so sad. When did things degenerate to this level? Even basic amenities have become luxury in this country. You are rich, armed robbers will come and rob you or hired assassins will kill you. Even houseboy will strangle you in your own house. All because of this money sha. Education is zero, healthcare has turned to big business. Even to get spiritual salvation is not free. Nothing is free except the air we breathe in. These old and recycled politicians have nothing new to offer. The youths needs to rise up to the occassion and make this country great again. If all of us run comot, who go remain? Shey if the likes of Canada or US didn't fix their country, will we see where to run to? This idea of running away, as good as it sounds, hurts me to the bone marrow..

Go and sit down for bush, is Nigeria a sane place to live and raise children! Can you vouch that your children can apply for either police, army, navy or air force and be accepted without knowing any godfather! Common elections is like we are going for another civil war, even the president can not be treated here in Nigeria so what are you arguing for! Nigeria is a desolate place where hopeless people are kept

Did you asked OP to back his claim with credential? You guys are joke because you’re always triggered by SM bandwagon. Let the guy come back in the next 3-5 years and give us testimony. Do you know how many Nigerians in diaspora especially US, UK and Canada that applied for NNPC and PTDF job last time they did recruitment? ... Like I said, you guys are ignorant jokes.

Because you are a zombie, you can never earn 1 million legitimately because the system forbids honesty and sincererity

If you see life outside, you would leave if you are earning 2million monthly. Because you only live for today in Nigeria

fecta:


I live abroad and if i had to choose again i will still relocate.

i wrote Jamb twice and got 255 and 267 respectively but still was not admitted, and one guy will get 120 and enter because of connection.

Schools are begging for you to come over here.

And If it was that easy to start a successful company , everyone will be able to get jobs, no one will spend a huge chunk of their life to get a degree just to start hawking it around looking for jobs.

the only Good thing about Living in Nigeria is that it is hard to forget the love you have for Nigerians , that is why most of us still come back to Nairaland to read the latest new, thats why we wept when Buhari won the election.

Nigerians are the best but Electricity, Health Care, Education, Security e.t.c cant be compared to the one abroad

Don't mind the idiot, I got admission is Sweden just by applying online without knowing anyone but Nigerians scores high scores yet admission boards and officer still demand bribes, it is only stupid and corrupt people that calls Nigeria a sane and normal place

bigfrancis21:


He just got to Canada and is still carried away by the beautiful environment. In about 2 to 3 years, the reality of what he has done will hit him straight on. At the end of the day, it's not about the amount of income you're making (in Dollars or Naira) or the beauty of the environment you find yourself in but instead the amount of your income you're able to keep after all expenses are taken care of. Just like other Canadians, he might end up living from paycheck to paycheck and paying the unending cycle of enormous bills. Welcome to Obodo Oyibo.

What you fail to know is that they have good social and welfare system. The system saves for you

What useless investment! Investment that are secured and guaranteed! The best investment is to send then abroad and if they choose to return back after graduation it will be left to them

You made a comment that implied that you have been there and are making an informed statement.
And from this your comment, I can establish that you have not gone anywhere yet. When you go and come back maybe your level of ignorance will make it less frustrating debating with you.

You sound defeated and frustrated. OP made a claim and uninformed statement from a naive perspective and you didn’t asked for crediantials to back his claim up and when some us came here to give a reality check, you started asking for credential, you’re very stupid. I may not be popular on Nairaland here but one bigfrancis001 or 002, I can’t remember, is one popular dude that even owner of Nairaland respects lives abroad and have seen it all... He made a comment here. Search and read his commen and then, advise yourself. And if the Canada and other Western country is an eldorado it is, I wonder why thousands of them are jostling to apply for jobs in Nigeria here..

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

So a friend sent this link to me and I add to register for Nairaland to clear some misconceptions and maybe talk some sense to some fools here (I shouldnt condescend to the level of apes in human form) but I just have to do it for people to know that these idiots are one of the underlying problems of Nigeria.

Firstly,how can an educated man spend some few minutes reading that thread and still not understand the reason why such was written? And where in the world was 1 million mentioned as my monthly salary??..sebi e for better if I was making up to that?

Secondly,how is a decision taken by a grown up man like me be the headache of some lunatics(seriously you people are insane but you dont have any family to tell you) I made my money and I decided to spend it the way I feel like spending it,did I ask money from your great grand fathers to process my Visa? Why would you come online and vent your anger on someone you dont know because you are living a miserable life? Lool and I know people like you..you want to travel too but you dont have the means to.

Ok, I read one idiot saying i saw snow i started abusing the country on which passport i used to travel...lol,one even said I've not been to the airport before�����....OMG,you these scallywags,my mum is a British citizen only if you know what that means.

Another person said, I make so much money and I couldn't stay in a safer environment...only if you know Ewet Housing Estate in Uyo Akwa Ibom state.

I am still coming back for you one by one...I have your time.. let me pack.

Shey eni e stupid ni...
