timesup234:not many actually. Thats the truth... The median wage is about 80k... However, that includes all the people who finished high school and refused to go to college, the people working at McDonald's, the people working at Kfc etc... So, you be the judge. |

timesup234:by all means, you are allowed to believe whatever you want to believe.. if it helps you sleep better at night, it's cool... And I'm in Australia, not Canada. I can't speak for them. |

See ehn, there are some truths we need to iron out... If you are a business minded person, and you have access to enough Capital in Nigeria, and you understand the system, Nigeria has more potential to put a lot of money back in your pocket due to the lower regulations and the massive market... However, if you are just trying to start your life, or you are generally going to work and get paid first, or you need to raise capital to start said business, its easier to make this money abroad IF you travel legally.. In addition, there's the small matter of your kids when you have a family... Are you going to let them school in Nigeria? Do you want them to have to apply for visa to visit every single country? Do you want them to grow up in a relatively safe environment and be exposed to a different worldview that will help them later in life? These are all the advantages of leaving Nigeria at least for a while... There's also the matter of security... I can't speak for the United States cos they have too many shootings in that place in my opinion, but overall there's a much lower rate of crime in these structured countries due to the simple fact that you don't have as many hungry people... Due to access to credit facilities, people are more likely to just keep going deeper into debt rather than resort to violent crime.. I'm not some "pie in the sky", "abroad is always better than naija" kinda person... Nope... Here's a post where I advised someone who said he makes #10M per annum in naija to sit his ass down but have Australia/Canada permanent residence on hand as a backup option.. https://www.nairaland.com/215610/where-nigerians-australia/38#82477205 And I listed my reasons... Abroad is good for saving up capital, freedom of movement, and general peace of mind.. Naija is better if you have a viable investment/business plan and already have the capital for it .... Naija is also better if you want to oppress people with your money.. 8 Likes 1 Share |

GeneralShepherd: I never stated that nigeria's economy is comparable to canada's in any way. My submission is in the direction of thought that if given 15 milla to stay in naija or to migrate to canada, I will simply choose staying back in naija!!! Everyone has their reasons for doing what they do. The way I look at it, and putting my entrepreneurial background into perspective, I strongly believe naija presents for me more opportunities for expansion than canada. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Godbpraised: So you work in debt collection and you have come across debtors. It's the same as saying if you work as a police officer in Canada and witnessed crimes therefore the rate of crime in Canada is the same as the rate of crime in Nigeria. No one ever said that there are no poor people in Canada and Australia. I never made that assertion but comparatively Nigeria is miles behind these countries on every count 1 Like |

Kool, like you said cold is crazy. Bills are necessary evils u know this already, however the so called millennial's no wan retire from work for instance Government work and even private self. So many people live on minimum wage. Lots of people are indebted. Canadians are also very diplomatic, they are not straight forward like Americans.

lahify: Well like I said Someone who wants to move to Canada should not do so for financial reasons (like wanting to get super rich) Any one going with such mentality will be sorely disappointed I'm not sayin every one should port Many Africans are content with the mess and shittiness of the dark continent, and can't fit in elsewhere, so their best bet is to stay Racial abuse? Hahaha With the strong tribalism and ethnicity in Nigeria (especially if you are an igbo man like myself), what mouth do we have to complain about "racial abuse" |

Godbpraised: Fair points. However, most of these white people don't know what they have.. when they live on minimum wage, its usually cos they are not really trying... We call them government kids, they are used to a life on benefits and handouts.... But if you actually WANT to work, there's work to do... The problem I personally have with naija is that, even pesin wey wan work, to see the work sef na die.... I have men in Lagos working office jobs wey be say after rent and transport, nothing remain o, food is still based on support from home... What kind of life is that? When I was in UK as a student, ontop the minimum wage and the limited work hours, man dey pay rent and chop and I was still able to save enough money to process Australia when the opportunity came... All within the 1 year. But in Naija now, the primary reason why most of my guys can't move is because its damn difficult to come up with the "approximately" #2m that the whole visa process costs.... I have a friend here who borrowed #1.8m to process his visa.. after landing here, he paid everything back in 4 months ... On top hustle job ooo... Now he is working a professional office job at entry level.. The difference between Naija and abroad mostly lies in opportunity and competition... If I have to compete with 1 million other applicants just to be a policeman (a job most people hate by the way), then f*ck this shit mehn, I'm going where there's no competition. 1 Like 1 Share |

Well i get ur point, but a lot of factors come into play, if one has gotten age on his side, like u are between 25 and 35 years then fine, but if u don enter 40 like me haaa. i advised people stay behind else. hmmm . Also ur location does not matter being focused and determined matters. I used to tell my cousin if you can not make money in Nigeria, bro you would not be able to make money even in TOGO . i am glad Australia is working for u , my advise is u stay put their,coming here to start over again man hmmm.

Now unto that 15million matter, you see food is a big problem for us in Nigeria if you can perform your feasibility study well, plan and properly execute a project in Agriculture with even if na plantain you invest am in, see in less than 1 year you can triple that amount. There' re opportunities in 9ja but it's not for the faint hearted, you must be daring also if you want to live abroad good luck.. Just be sure of what you're doing. Peace 1 Like |

From all the comments here and the opinions of some friends in Canada, I've been able to see that it seems things might be a bit tough there. So, let me not project Australia and Uk experiences on Canada.. maybe things are not smiling there, I don't know sha.. I don't think there's anybody who has spent two years in Australia on a visa with full work rights that will complain about barely surviving... You'll hear us complain about taxes, bills, house prices, etc o, but barely surviving? I don't know a single Nigerian in that category here. @Godbpraised you guys talk of wages of 14, 15 - 20... Here, unless its your first job and you're desperate, there's no good reason to work for below 25/hr... ....30, 35, 40/hr no be magic, its available... As a result @GeneralShephard and I might find it hard to understand why people in Canada are talking like this... I dey see @catchdwind4rmkd lurking in the background...., baba what's your opinion on the subject? |
