The cost of living isn't the same neither. The cost of living in London is way higher than in Abuja.

lies you spend more of feeding than the average person in New York does?

Safyqueen:
You are media schooled. The insecurities in the north is the work of Neo-colonialist countries like France, UK, America etc to explore and exploit our mineral resources illegally and nothing more.

How many almagiri do we have in the north nowadays? Everyone in the town goes to school. The current T-pain added salt to our injury by colonizing Nigeria to them through IMF, world bank destructive policies.

go and sleep. You're saying shit. Check the record all countries with a large population of Moslems end up with terrorism because you guys allow it up north. Give me one Moslem country without terrorism and I'll decitvate.

Yunusa, HOW many times must I tell you that the problem with this car is the filter , not the radiator?

You wan kill me for this tinubu regime? You think I am made of money?

waste of sperm your father should have flushed you down the toilet so you'll be dining with shit now.

I am quite happy to know that you are a demon and a chief of legions of demons.


Subsides in the USA are paid from heavy duty taxes, so also a lot of infrastructure and development projects




The problem is, our income from taxes is less than 20% and our income comes mostly from oil money that is enough for a nation less than 10 million, not a country of 200 or more million.

That is how shitty our situation is, and also a part of (not the whole reason) why we got into debt.




You demons should stop bothering us, and you should stop being angry with me, because I am not responsible for Lilith abandoning you for Asmodeus. After all she was always something of a slut.

same oil that the US, Canada , and china produces is not enough for you.? Thunder will fire your hand you're using to type that.

nairalanda1:
Thank you.

Greet Astarte for me.

hope you've collected your 20k for this month for spitting lies all over to defend your APC masters. Ive singlehandedly debunk all your lies and left you in utter despair.

your brain is filled with liquid maggots if I was a demon I wont even accept it to eat.

Just hear yourself taxing people to give them subsidy. That's like taking money from your left to give to your right does that makes any sense to you?

. Tax is used to provide disability and unemployment services mostly for the poor and aging population. The poor doesn't pay taxes.

nairalanda1:
We are independent. The problem at independence was that

1. A lot of people were poor

2. We needed to educate a lot of people fast.

SO, we had to get money quickly and the only way was by selling raw materials as much as possible.....industrialization takes time, and does not yield cash immediately. Also, there is a prolonged period of hardship before you see progress.

Initially it worked...that's why my papa's generation could go to school for free and get paid for it self....but from the mid 1970's our population began to outgrow the ability of the money we were making to sustain it, and by 1986 we had to accept sap....which showed that our population was way beyond the economy's ability to sustain it.

So, the way forward is to either use our raw materials to make products for the world...which involves things like total removal of subsides to attract investment, widen the tax net, and support industries that export....last one important.


(I did not say we should leave corruption alone, or that t-pain is the best leader in the world.)

I pity your useless life collecting 20k to type essays to gaslight people.

Even rich countries like US still pay subsidy. And tax doesnt fund development project

pay subsidy and provide security= low cost of production= foreign Investment = more employement= development = tax the rich to feed the poor

You APC lots have turned this formula on its head and plunge the country into perpetual suffering

SoaringLife01:
That's your opinion. I am entitled to mine, and you sound childish telling someone to keep quiet.
My state governor is not ruling from abroad , he is always available.

keep being naive. your president is in France, vice sweede

Your governor has second citizenship in another country. Other celebrities too the same.

Theyre motivating you guys to bear suffering from a white man country.

Ordinary Benin has 24/7 light and water and whereas the entire country is in darkness.

abbey621:
You haven't been to the airport not to talk of knowing what a pro mechanic in the USA charges to replace a fuel pump, Google is your friend, I've attached scrrenshot for you in case you're too lazy to look it up......GET HELP!

you have never price a visa how much more live in the US you're in Nigeria collecting 20k to defend apc. Prove me wrong and upload your receipt from the us paying $1000 for fuel replacement and I'll shut up for ever

were talking of price Replace fuel pump of a professional mechanic abd you're talking of fuel pump for nissan. IAM not a dullard like you.

look at your screenshots self it's there $106-230.

abbey621:
Fuel pump replacement for $250? Na juju you wan use? Read bro, calm down and read what I wrote slowly!

yes Mr liar, you too should read what I wrote. A pro mechanic can never cost up to $1000 just to fix fuel pump.

abbey621:
Get help bro......HEAL!

yes I need healing from dullard like you collecting 20k to spread lies. I really need healing.

Sapasenator:
You are not going anywhere. I suggest that FG seize every Nigerian's passport and stop the issue of new passports. We gat build our country together. We die here together.

in other words trap people in the hellfire you created until the doom day come. While the same fg is ruling Nigeria from abroad.

Such a perfect backward thinking. You deserve an accolade for that

abbey621:
Even if you japa, you would still experience things based on your inability to plan ahead or plan for the known and unknown variables. In Atlanta, if you don't leave for work before 6:30am or after 10am, you are bound to encounter delays, if you drive during rainy season or winter, you're bound to be delayed by car wrecks. Depending on the type of vehicle you drive and the neighborhood, police go dey stop you on the regular especially if you're the type that forgets to buckle up or you love speeding

Depending on where you live in the USA, you're bound to experience hurricane or tornadoes causing electricity outage for a week or longer, you can be homeless in a blink of en eye if disaster strikes.

Depending on the city you live, you might be battling with gunshots and mad people, oh let's not forget you that love driving your vehicle on almost empty, e sure die you go need your fuel tpump replaced or fuel line flushed, no road side mechanic like 9ja wey go charge you cheap labor o, for here it could cost you anywhere from $1000 (1.7 milla).

Now now, you might be thinking haba shebi na to get abroad and gbam high income jobs dey await me for backyard........Not so fast Simba .

The probability of you getting an office job with a good pay within your first 3 years is less than 10% without connections. What is more likely is that you'll end up doing more blue collar jobs to make ends meet while you live with a rommate or a one bed apartment, you'll work your job or jobs just to be able to pay bills and forget savings o, na survival mode you go dey especially for UK, if you be woman you go find sympathy but if you be man even dogs go dey bark you until you make am!

Finally, yes 9ja is a terrible place and japa is a MUST for those who can see the writing on the wall but thread softly, not all japas are created equal. Arm yourself with as much information and resources as possible, know the laws and the place you want to japa, set realistic expectations and be prepared to work three times as hard as you're currently.....MAY THE ODDS FAVOR YOU!

lies, you can hire a professional mechanic for less than $250 not $1000. Which is way cheaper compared to Nigeria. Any one who listens to people like you is a fool while you're chilling in the US

sharap, you said hurricane, and bad weather. Am But in Nigeria 16 states no light for 9 days. No hurricane , no rain just like that. Now explain that?
And mind in the Us there is usually compensation for disaster from govt and insurance . But in Nigeria anything that happens to you you're on your own.?

And to even think it's very easy to get a gun in the US?

BigDawsNet:
An average man or woman coming to abroad is not coming to take an office job nah...

Normal normal why u no go wash plate for abroad? Dey play...

We self wash plate
Do security
Do general cleaning
Of load for wearhouse before paper later drop...

Abeg if they hav the chance make anybody no dull oh

Yes d western countries has closed some door but little bit is still open for people to sneak in

leave the iiodit he thinks it's Nigeria where security men earn 20k that cant feed them and be kissing feet of oga that he can give birth to.

In western world you can even earn more than your boss if you bring more value. Everyone earnings is almost the same gateman or boss.
It's not uncommon to see gateman 3k dollars, boss 4k.

SoaringLife01:
Abeg make we hear word. Shuo! Japa this japa this.
OP, you didn't plan ahead. You know you work with an organization that don't have a back-up power supply and you couldn't have Plan B of providing your own source of power.E don be e don be.
BTW, this can't happen in IOCs office in Nigeria.There is 247 power supply during work hours.
No matter the Japaism fever ongoing, there are people in Nigeria making cool money legitimately and living their quiet life as well.

Let's make Nigeria to be great again.
Do the right thing in your niche.And keep demanding accountability from political leaders.
God bless Nigeria!

making cool money and spending all on feeding or fuel. Or making cool money and using it to pay ransom. My friend keep quiet. No reasonable person with money will continue to remain in Nigeria. That's why all your celebrities and politicians are ruling you from abroad. But you're here fooling yourself

43Ronin:
It's already too late to japa. Western countries have shut their door. You should have left when others were doing so from 2021 to 2023. Now there are no jobs anywhere abraod. Immigrants are now seen as d unemployment problem. Dey ur dey oo or you go clean nyash/wash plate/do security tire for abroad

lies I guess you were the gateman that shuts thier doors.

Tradepunter2:
He's a disgusting liar..... There's no friend... Someone like him can never have friends because he's supports demons.... The demons play in his head daily

Leave him they'll have friends in Canada complaining. Someone in One of the best country ranked 10th in the world is complaining to you in 170th position. As per they need saving. Is like the best student complaining to the worst student to help him. Their backward way of reasoning.

If you have chance to enter Benin grab it with both hands don't wait for Canada

helinues:
Of course he already started making the money but the working rate heh, you wouldn't want to miss any opportunity.

When those who are in abroad say they are busy, not necessarily they are doing something per say but brain needs to calculate

so people in Nigeria are not working? They're waiting for free rice from your apc lords? My friend SFTU and don't get me more annoyed.

helinues:
But I wasn't talking to you, what exactly is the frustration for?

hehe, IAM here to torment you apc paid cronies.

I won't allow you to gaslight anyone with lies.

helinues:
The point is no place is easy, you need to work your ass off

my friend shut you
Apc paid crony. Canada is easy, Switzerland is easy. Finland is easy, Australia is easy. Norway is easy. While Nigeria is hell. Don't ever use the word easy for Nigeria. It's a land of desolate. A land that will be burnt to ashes soon. At that time you'll be looking for desert to enter Benin republic.

lastkingsman:
You are talking arrant nonsense. If I had my way, I will w even do more than talking down. I have even consider being stateless but for the purpose of traveling, I had to retain that useless passport otherwise I would have disposed it honestly. Is there any top Nigeria elite that doesn't have a second passport? You can be deceiving yourself not me

Nigeria is proper shithole that should be consigned to the dustbin of history.

A country that massacred 3 million of my people and decimated our wealth by giving my fathers 20 pounds and up till this moment, there's no date officially set aside as remembrance day. The Nigeria state has moved on as usual when they commit atrocities.

A full banana republic where people can break the law and tell you confidently to go to court. Justice is only available to the highest bidder and most political connected.

A country with 20 million kids out of school. Basic education system is in shambles and teachers are paid peanuts despite their dedication to teaching students.

Should I speak about the comatose health sector and poor primary healthcare facilities? A useless country with high infant mortality rate almost twice the global average. Tueh

https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/field/infant-mortality-rate/country-comparison/

A useless nation with oil and gas reserves but can't even meet OPEC production quota of 1.7mbpd. fun fact:Iraq is doing 4mbpd+. Can't generate, transmit and distribute enough power for its citizens. Has the lowest per capita energy consumption on a global stage. Your current 4000MW can't power Bayer AG facility in Leverkusen.

Ranked 4th on the global most terrorised country following strongly countries like Syria, Afghanistan and Somalia.

Only one functional commercial seaport since independence despite having 700km coastal line, dilapidated federal and local roads, no significant improvement on rail infra Brits built to export resources since 1960. Did a waybill recently and a previous journey by road for 10hrs, took 17hrs. Tufiakwa

A proper disgrace that will come to an end by 2030, A FAILED STATE.

Tufiakwa.

When you guys are done wasting everyone's time, make Una revisit the Aburi Accord before it's too late. Thank you

yet their looking down on other countries. Nigeria GDP per capita is less than Ethiopia and Angola. Our human development is less than Zimbabwe. If you have opportunity to leave Nigeria to Benin republic, or Togo or Ghana flee without looking back. Don't let a yone fool you. The day of doom in Nigeria is very close. Itll soon become the worst country in earth

tensazangetsu20:
He say na bank

Bank is tech company according to them. The other said technology division. They can't even name of one tech company in Nigeria.

Which tech company will stay in a country with no light, security, extreme poor network. A country you can't use your debit card to shop online.Kai!

Gerrard59:
GDP is a lopsided way to assess living standards. You do that with HDI. GDP simply tells how much the citizens are worth based on the wealth it generates. However, for some places, it doesn't translate to a high purchasing power or even tells us how many jobs are available for new graduates. GDP by PPP actually shows the purchasing power of the citizens/residents in a country regardless of the population. China with its slightly lower population has a higher GDP by PPP than India. Nigerians, in fact, I would say some state residents spend more than many African countries' citizens.

Tech provides jobs, stable, learning opportunities and permanent than content creation. Content creation isn't tech. By tech, I mean actual jobs in companies within the technology division - software engineering, developers etc. So the posts by @MT are accurate - Nigerian banks pay their tech bros and sis very very well. Those people earn a lot of money. That's not content creation.

What is the HDI in Nigeria if I may ask you? Is it higher than Zimbabwe or Angola. ?

If the GDP per capita is low you think the HDI will be high?

the truth is Nigeria is truly and completely
well-finished but you guys are finding it hard to take it in.

And which one is technological division. You have no idea what you're saying. There is nothing like that.

All the software developers in Nigeria you see are all working for foreign companies remotely.

There is no tech job in Nigeria.

End of discussion With your ai reply.

Gerrard59:
Yet those places have a higher unemployment rate than Nigeria. Please don't compare Ethiopia or Angola to Nigeria. The thing with entrepreneurship is that anyone can make it anywhere, but in Africa, the chances are higher in Nigeria than those places you mentioned except maybe Egypt, which I do not see as "Africa".

yea Egypt isn't Africa it's Europe! Even south Africa too, scyelles, Mauritius, Namibia, gabon, Morocco, Tunisia. Because they're better for entrepreneurs than Nigeria. I mean far better

Once an Africa country is better than Nigeria it becomes Europe. And no longer Africa. You know nothing about Africa except Nigeria

I guess you're shocked because you hardly hear them making noise. All along you rated Nigeria so high because it's your country. Sorry to burst your bubbles. You're so ignorant.

Stats already prove it. Counter it with your own stats not some gibberish ai essays

I don't argue like idiots. See angola and Ethiopia gdp higher than Nigeria. Scyelles is Europe haven compared to Nigeria.

MT:
So, you are this dull.

I read the bolded twice, and I feel sorry for you.

How can you go for it, if you do not even know it exists ?. Damn! You are too myopic.

i ask you again which Nigeria tech company are you working for paying you millions per month and giving you soft life?

If they born you well, List all the tech companies in Nigeria giving out employment. I'm waiting?

Gerrard59:
To be fair, GDP per capita isn't a comprehensive way to assess a country's economy.


Agreed. The tech sector should never be used as a basis to assess employment opportunities in any country. It is why many countries still focus on the manufacturing industry to be stable, growing and being able to create jobs for many people. Tech cannot offer the employment opportunities millions of Nigerians need.


A major problem I have with this new set of "elites" in Nigeria - the country starts in Lagos (Lagos Island, Lekki, VI, Ikeja GRA) and ends at Abuja (Guzape, Maitama etc). There is more to Nigeria beyond both places.

yes GDP per capital is a way to measure the standards of living of people in a country.

The lower the GDP per capita the poorer the people. If you have any better metric you can state to measure an economy. If you don't then keep quiet.

even the tech you mentioned doesn't give any employment except you're a content creator and that isn't a job.

Gerrard59:
Congratulations to OP. I am really for you as I know it must have been a huge struggle to pull through.

As for the back-biting, I am not surprised as I have stated here that the older generation in the UK seems to be annoyed or envious (how easy the immigrant routes are these days) of recent migrants. Also, they have this classist mentality that "I have been here before you. So know your place". This is largely mired in poverty as it applies to other migrants from the developing world. Although, a way to counter such is to tighten the immigration system so that only the best and brightest have access to the country. Such as legal immigration to the US and Singapore. Indians in the US are highly respected than their counterparts in Canada.

As for people making it in Nigeria, that is very true. There are people who have very high-paying jobs in Nigeria and live very well (legal money). However, their conditions cannot be used to describe the entire Nigeria. I recall my ex-boss lamenting about Nigeria's politicians, people he praised regularly when he used the roads to his state or somewhere in Kogi. He was shocked at how dangerous the roads were. This is someone who rarely leaves Lagos without flying. This is the same mistake this new set of elites make every day - siddon for Lagos and Abuja then christen everyone in Nigeria as "doing well". To be fair though, I don't expect any less from APC supporters. The reason I don't debate the state of Nigeria with them. Although, I still believe Nigeria holds more entrepreneurial economic opportunities than most countries in Africa aside from South Africa. However, it is important to state that Nigeria goes beyond Lagos and Abuja at least for economic reasons.

The last two years must have been tough for Nigerian students in the UK (especially older ones who are married and with children). As I have stated countless times, should the economy get to pre-2015 levels, MANY Nigerians would gladly return. Many would still return anyway but at a later date. Reading their stories further makes me to be grateful towards the Japanese. I was so pampered and afforded ample financial and economic opportunities here. To be fair though, I had the requisite experience from Nigeria, attended a top university here, worked on the language and I am unmarried with children. Nevertheless, the Japanese have been so good to me, and I deeply appreciate it.

who told you it's only South Africa. There are far many African countries better off than Nigeria in entrepreneurship. Do your research Ghana, Egypt, Ethiopia, Mauritius, Angola... The only advantage Nigeria had was population and now that advantage is gone because the hardship is now too much. Benin republic now has a greater GDP per capita than Nigeria. Ewww!

MT:
The bolded is not true.

If you are adequately skilled, put your profile on Linkedln, it is the employers that will be chasing you up and down.

Change your mindset, you don't need to bribe your ways through high paying professional jobs in Nigeria. It is MOSTLY on merits and performances.

When it comes to Govt jobs, they use connection to get jobs in Government work abroad too, like Nigeria.

my friend shut up there is no high paying tech job anywhere in Nigeria except you're into scams. Why not show us your own job. You're just a 20k paid APC made to spread lies as you're doing.

A country with no 24/7 light and high speed internet is going no where in tech. 90% of fforeign companies want nothing to do with Nigerians. So shut your mouth and go back to your pithole

MT:
See, failures have a way of uniting people together to share their sad stories.

Why are you not part of the "outliers"? Why did you choose to form a committee of "failures" ? I could see some of your committee members lamenting about their states in this thread.

Something is wrong with you. A lizard in Nigeria cannot become a crocodile abroad.

If you are given a British passport today, what job do you think you will be qualified for?

In your exageration to run Nigeria down, you even confidently LIED about her GDP to needlessly prove a silly point. I have attached the fact about Nigeria GDP to this post so people would see you as a pathological liar who you are.

Keep lamenting about Nigeria, while others are making it. Nigeria is just an easy target for most of you, by default, you lack values that can make a big difference economically in your life. That is what you should be aiming to correct instead of this daily cry.

Be running after statistics while your mates are living their lives.

making it my foot.
How much electricity are you having per day?
How much are you spending on fuel?
What of security?
What of groceries?
What is your quality of life?

You're celebrating 1k GDP how many countries in the africa have such low GDP? Ghana is at 2k+, Benin republic is 1300+. Of statistics doesn't mean anything to brain-dead individuals.

nairalanda1:
This does not change the fact that power is undercharged here.

Apparently saying that a business must make a profit means you are an apc supporter

So I'll leave such people to their delusions

If you don't want to see..😁😁😁😁😆😆😆😆

is that all you have to say? I thought you'll say that's how it happens in the UK, and China and ghana let me remove your teeth.

It's a pity that nairaland now collects bride from the govt to spread lies and gaslight people.
