Life expectancy in oyinbo countries are not much better than Nigeria o, don't let oyinbo deceive you. I know two people personally who went to America but are dead from stroke and heart disease. The Western diet of processed food will kill you faster than aids or ebola.

Stop deceiving yourself.

With 15 milla, you can buy yourself enough rest of mind that will last for your entire lifetime and even for your generations to come if you manage it wella, right here in naija.

And I have a friend who canceled her Canadian PR and travelled back to her country (Kenya). If the sister wants to go back because they prefer Africa more. One man’s meat tho

lahify:
would say this thread is really interesting and eye opening, I believe people relocate for different reasons either Nigeria or Canada or America, if you have a laid out plan you would live a good life jeez Nigerians make everything hard, some are even busy quoting figures of how much you can make outside the country, must everything always be about money? plus someone saying life expectancy is 51yrs(I laugh in Spanish) just because some of us have left the country, they begin to believe wrong assumptions about Nigeria and start to act like they are not Nigerians again but when they racially abuse them, they would remember that they are nigerians. if you are in Nigeria and you know about the business you want to embark on, you'd be fine and if you want to relocate abroad please do, not all Nigerians abroad are suffering, just a big shame seeing Nigerians ridicule their country for the white man's country, a Chinese man that I met in dubai once told me Nigerians are the most unpatriotic bunch, he said there is real suffering in China and there is also technological improvement over there, but a Chinese man would never speak ill of his country, this thread just typically justifies what he's saying, I don't know how the oyinbos justify their statistics that Nigeria is the poverty index of the world, when such country closes it's borders the whole of west Africa is crying. chai Nigerians we can do better

ddippset:
This question is obviously for those who don't have 15 million and have never crossed Naija.

DexterousOne:


When Nigeria shows you it's other side
You will know better

China inspires patriotism
And it's premier will never call his citizens criminals

We have a fool in aso rock
Who ridicules us everytime

Like calling us criminals

And you blame Nigerians when they say stuff about Nigeria?

chukzyfcbb:

Bro stop spilling these nonsense. what is our life expectancy age in Nigeria? it's within 51-55yrs

with all the so called natural food, we still don't live long, so what's the fuss with all the so called natural food.

Food is expensive when relative to the average persons income, or are you oblivious to to that fact? You keep yapping natural foods natural food as if it has helped in our health.

Bro our life expectancy age is very poor, most of us commenting will not cross age 55!

sleek214:

If you can't grow with N15M in Nigeria, I bet you, you can't make it in any part of the world you choose to relocate to

Larryfest:
Relocating or getting Canadian citizenship? Cos if it's just relocation then am gonna go for the cash and stay right here in naija but if it's citizenship then am off to Canada..

Freeman59:


If armed robbers no kill, SARS go kill you. If SARS no kill you kidnappers go carry you, or government go frustrate you with their rubbish. If you sick, u go hospital for naija, their incompetence will kill you. I swear I will relocate to Canada

Auto200:
I will relocate to Canada and make that money within 12 months maximum! I will turn to aza man

Godbpraised:
And my family in nigeria,what should i do with them. when they ask for money? Tell them i am saving right ?

mbhs139:


You dey mind him? What natural food is he even talking about? Do they think we eat toxic food here? Just like you said, with all their natural food, they end up breathing in heavy doses of CO2 from generator and danfo exhaust pipes, with scorching heat and mosquitoes music all night.

One mofo abuse me say na cold go kill me for Canada , he said I should enjoy my -40 degree weather, and I'm like thank God say me get light to power my space heater to control the temperature to my advantage, without blinking an eyelid.

By the way, we have all the Nigerian Food they talk about here. Sometimes, they argue that it is expensive, they do so by comparing the cost in náírà and kobo. My question is, is it naira and kobo we are earning in Canada? So, you expect me to buy ọlá ọlá poundo yam in Canada with the same cost at Sabo market. For their information, na okomu oil from delta state I dey take cook, and I eat dry fish and oporoku from 9ja. I brought 9ja with me, and you have it everywhere here in Canada.

In conclusion, I don't blame those who diss us for leaving Nigeria. I was in that shoe too at some point in life until I get here. I have read and heard a lot of false information about living in Canada. However, this is not to say living in Canada does not have its own challenges but you can't eat your cake and have it back. But it's no where compare to Nigeria in terms of anything. Truth be told, Nigeria would've been the best country to live on earth but for our myrad of problems.

Gucciboy1:
See questions o...abeg gimme the money lemme invest so that Canadians will be rushing to come to Nigeria

Godbpraised:
Nigeria to me is the best. If nigeria was that bad , why is dangote or otedola not in canada ? Think men. 85% of Canadians keep working untill they are 65 years because of the bills. Guy if u wan die here good luck to you. Africa is untapped. Oh before you say is not about the money think well men,look deeply its about the money.

mfm04622:


If nuclear family, you should have included what you send them as part of your monthly budget. If parents, same thing. Apart from that, you need to save for your own future! No money is no money!

GeneralShepherd:


A disability support worker with a diploma and I makes about $39 per hour ordinary hours, 1.5 x the amount on Saturdays and twice the amount on Sundays.

The job in itself is not strenuous. If you do the maths you can make that amount of money easy

sleek214:
Am sure if you give that money to someone in Canada, the person will relocate back to 9ja. Seems most of you on nairaland don't have any overseas experience. Sad.

mfm04622:


Big lie! People with more than that are leaving!

GeneralShepherd:


God bless you for this comment. I have been wondering if everything is free in Nigeria and cars don't get maintained .

DexterousOne:

Lies

The very fact that you have to cage yourself in your house
High fence, better gate, burglary proof, barbed wires, etc means even the rich don't have rest of mind in Nigeria

The kidnapping of the haves in Nigeria is another fear that you will harbour

You really think you will spend your money in peace, when so many are poor and wretched around you

Its my daily life experience
I know what I'm saying

And I'm planning my exit too
Can't continue to live this way

What is the tax rate in Australia? After expenses, how much of the 100k can one save?

Bnimz:
if you make 100k gross, about 75k ends up in your pocket as a single person... You can live comfortably on about 35k and save 40k...

I live on 20 - 25k per annum, so 35k is like a life where you are not a wasteful spender, but at the same time, you are not trying too hard to save

Abi GeneralShepherd, wetin you feel about those numbers?

Bnimz:
Bro, you get strength o. Arguing with unexposed Nigerians can drain someone's energy. I no dey tell dem anything again. I only tell my closest friends in Nigeria the real how far... Everyone else, I just laugh when they display their ignorance bros..

all I know is, when I was in Nigeria, pesin dey manage make like 50k per month... And here, in Australia, my monthly savings surpass the salaries of my highest paid friends back home... heck, even my taxes are more than their salaries.

Until you physically see another man's farm, you'll keep believing your father's farm is the biggest... Na wetin dey do all these people.

bluefilm:


Do we all now live in caged in high fenced and barb wired homes now in naija?

Have we all been kidnapped now in naija?

Face it, you only see what you really wanna see.

Even in that canada sef, I believe there are destitutes but has it stopped the haves from enjoying their wealth?

My last word to you: NO PLACE LIKE HOME!!!

timesup234:
Liar! Shut up there, you have no farm. The only farm i see is millions of Nigerians who never left this country building duplex worth 40million naira. You are a slave in Australia. Shut up your lying mouth again. It stinks

timesup234:
Whats the percentage of Canadians ot Australians making $100,000 annually? You guys are clowns. First class mumu

Bnimz:
Congratulations, you have been able to let loose some of the frustration Naija has put in your body... Are you stuck in Lagos traffic and late for work? You're welcome to take Panadol for my headache at any time.
