Predstan:With $600 a month you are renting one small room in a house and a $1500 apartment in any major American city is at most a two bedroom apartment. #15 million a year house in Nigeria will be a mansion even in Lagos so there is no comparison. There is no one bedroom that cost #7 million per annum in Nigeria, you people are full of lies deceiving gullible teenagers with the false American utopia. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Well so many views here. At 450k per month, that would place him among the top earners in the country. a reasonably comfortable life even in expensive cities like Lagos/Abj/PH is very possible. I know of people earning just about half of that and they're doing very well. Ultimately, he should decide what he wants 2 Likes |

RaptorX: Lol. You must be used to the low eyebrow areas. I live in a one bed house with sitting room, kitchen and my private big Bathroom. Before I left Nigeria, I work on the island and earn a merger of 300k naira. I live at ojodu Berger and I decided to rent a house on the island instead. It cost a whole lot more than you can think of. A self contained house was close to 1.5million per year(in the most ridiculous places on the island. In Ikoyi, you can only find a service apartment which cost between 150k to 250k per month(yes per month) . A one bed house cost up to 2million in lekki and 5million in ikoyi. I have not mentioned banana island yet. These are areas that can be compared to where I currently live. If you have not lived every of this world, you wont know anything about it. So a 1500 dollar house monthly will cost over 15million naira in Nigeria. 1500 not my 600dollar ooo. The 7million was including cost of having 24 hours Light, security, unlimited wifi, trash and electricity. 3 Likes |

Predstan:Look at this liar, now you have reduced the figures to 1.5 million and 2 to 5 million instead of 15 and 7 million. A $1500 per month apartment in any major American city is at best a tiny two bedroom not equivalent to what #15 per annum will get you in Nigeria, you are a Johnny just come trying to impress gullible youths on NL. 3 Likes 1 Share |

$600 monthly means you living in the worst apartment and possibly a run down city. I used to live in Chicago, now live in Virginia Beach and the decent apartment is $900 for decent one bedroom apartment. Apartment that cost $600 with gym and pool is out of this world. What city do you live in? It's either you ain't telling the truth or you are sharing an apartment which means it's $1200 for 2 bedroom. Predstan: 1 Like 1 Share |

xandy84: Lol... I live in Tennessee and out of the Capital. I pay 600 monthly for a one bed apartment. This is not a house or a condo but an apartment. If you think this is just too small to be true then I can show you a 3 bed house that cost 750 monthly in Franklin state of tennessee. If an apartment cost 900 in chicago. Check same house in Washington county in the same state of Illinois. 3 Likes |

Stop telling people to stay back in Nigeria. Nigeria is cheap to live in. Even the all heaven Lekki, a flat there is cheaper than a room in London. Now, let’s take a stay in the village scenario because u don’t pay rent and some bills, how would you see the light ? Come out and meet multi nationals and fire ur CV to high heavens. U can even decide to return after a while and float ur own firm. Brother aside politics, nothing again Dey nija 2 Likes |

You need to start looking for houses in Ikoyi to understand what I'm saying... i pay about 35dollar monthly as electricity. My apartment comes with unlimited wifi, and water is paid for by the apartment.

You said "10k may put one in the 40% tax bracket"......which is wrong and i pointed that out to you. You claimed i did not know what i was talking about and also stated that i was misleading people. You even brought googled evidence to support your case when in actual fact that same evidence showed you were wrong. So....what are you waxing lyrical about? 3 Likes |

RaptorX: it cost nothing less than 12-15m to rent a 2bdr apartment at ocean parade besides service charge of $10k. They don't call Lagos (VI, Ikoyi, Lekki) most expensive SLUM in the world for nothing. The worse part is that you’ll drive just 10 minutes of traffic free from the estate and see people living on top of water for years now The famous incomplete Eko Atlantic Estate that you’ll spend hours in traffic on the same street where the estate is located before you enter the estate gate will cost you nothing less than 20m to rent just 2 bedrooms flat there. Plus charges and electricity bills. Most of the people living in the two estate are mostly expatriates and Nigeria oil barons, top bank execs and politicians etc. But here in Canada a condominium that is more stunning than the one in Eko atlantic will cost you $2,500-3k(#900,000 Per month or #10m per year) for the same two bedroom flat. Included some Utilities like Hydro, Heat, Water And most time unlimited internet access. The funny thing is that almost all Canadian can afford it and the few Canadian that can’t to pay that much can also afford to live in a nice neighborhood that is finer than Ikoyi or VI. Since you love poverty a lot and cheap house rent, you can go to Republic of the Niger and live. Rent there is #50-#100 Some of the benefits of living in Canada. Your children And yourself will have free access to hospital for any form of treatment without paying a cent, even when it involves kidney/heart transfer or cancer. You don’t wanna talk about Nigeria hospital and how much you’ll spend to send sick peoples aboard for treatment. Even your president and other top government officials treat themselves abroad. Your children will attend the best school in the world and the government will feed them and They can take school bus home for absolutely free. Compare to their mate there in Lagos that will pay up to #600,000 for a term school fee plus other expenses. You’ll provides your children with numerous Opportunities and They’ll live in a sane environment without mud, blackout, clean water (Nigeria don’t have pipe borne water not to talk about light) You/kids rights will be protected and can go for protest without being shoot at with real bullet. When you face any form of discrimination (race or any form of assault) you can sue the person and cash out. Compare to Nigeria that everyone go away easily. Your daughters are highly protected. No lecturer or teacher dare touch your kid anyhow and your daughters are free to wear short or anything they like with no embarrassment. You’ll hardly hear of rape here. You can do road trips across the country and enjoy it to the fullest without fear. But in Nigeria bad road will discourage you, highway thieves and police will kill your thinking of attempts to do something fun, kidnapper You also need to provide your own security in Nigeria etc. Even Efcc chairman de wire money aboard for his kids and grandkids. You de there de fool yourself. I don’t owe Nigeria anything. I was only given birth to there without no other option 8 Likes

Ok about your questions. Flee from this broke and broken country now! at least do it for you children, born and unborn. assuming you really have that $120k, buy a house wherever you eventually go.your money would still have value and you could sell anytime. When you get there, go for masters' in a ranked school. in years, you won't regret it. Try me! |

For me, 450k her in Naija is a goal. 1. U are free spending you money here. House rent is more cheap here. In us a basement of a room and parlour self in new Jersey whc is cheap cost 550 $ a month. U will pay tax,insurance, telecom, and all others. But in Nigeria noting of such as your tax has been removed before payment. So as for me, 450k in Nigeria is ok |

BuddhaPalm: How many ppl have that kind of money? Business investor visa is Canada is 250,000 which is about 75m naira, it is not even sure. For Quebec, you have to invest between 750,000 to 800,000 cad for 5years running before you qualify for PR. It is almost N220million naira, you leave it for them for 5 years. Also note they will investigate your source of income is legit. How many Nigerians can deal? Also note that age limit for most skilled visa is 45 years. Delay is dangerous. Anything to japa and start working towards PR b4 45 years is permissible. Remember it can take up to 5years to get PR . I will , I will, conditions are getting stiff, competition is increasing, b4 you know it, you are 35, you are still thinking thinking, you get to 40, by then it is almost becoming so late 1 Like |

#450k is a comfortable pay in Nigeria, but if he can make twice the equivalent of it in $ then he can make the move over there, however he should as a matter of urgency work for dual citizenship, Canada is the safest choice now, just in case the #450k job fails |
