Have you ever asked yourself why 9ja celebs have not all relocated to US?.... Why haven't they relocated already? ... Simply because they earn millions here.

It's stupidity to consider relocating while earning millions here in Nigeria as a bank manager.

The travel agent preaching to you that America is heaven on earth. Why haven't he yet relocated already. Abi he no go like enjoy the heaven? He will live large in Lagos every year after collecting millions from his ma.gas

What I observed is that Nigerians criticizes the country harshly unlike citizens of other African countries. For example, if quarter of arm robbery,car snatching, Kidnapping and general gun violence going in South Africa were to happen in Southern Nigeria by now Japa will be trending all-over. But you will hardly hears South Africans talking of Japa despite the rate of gun violence in their country.

Herdsmen will strike in one rural community in Ogun, while someone living in Lekki will say he wants to Japa due to insecurity Lol.

This is not news to me.

I have known this for decades now. Are people getting to realize this now?

99.9% of women offers nothing aside sex and or maybe child bearing.

She won't give you "free money" ..emphasis on free money.

She won't give you knowledge.

She won't encourage or motivate you.

Why it's counterproductive for an African man to marry in this era is that what we now have are westernized-african women. The global spread and dominance of Western culture robbed us of our true African women. (ie the women that our forefathers married)

Since changes has occurred in our culture due to Western influence and education. For we to stay abreast we have to change with the times. The time that we are in doesn't call for marriage because it's not favourable to the African man... (Excerpts from a post I made weeks ago)

I remember severally warning people here on the dangers of crypto.

The sheeple will never get sense.

Nigerian educational system did nothing to you, rather it is the slave mentality that has caused him his life, that polythetic would charger higher than a private university in Nigeria, the plane ticket would have bought him a car in Nigeria and cost of accommodation would have rented him a duplex in Nigeria. but you know i must travel. when we keep advising Nigeria is better than 60% of the world una no go hear.
Another one gone, very soon they would start insulting the embassy

I agree with you. Na Japa mentality in Nigeria caused this. My people suffer for lack of knowledge.

ednut1:
A lot of them have their families in Canada.
Desmond elloit, omoni, rmd has children who live in Canada. Many are in usa with their families.forget that poll na sensational reporting. Many oil workers and even senior managers in Nigeria have their families abroad. As your self why

The thread is about abandoning your million+ income in Nigeria and relocating to Canada not sending your kids abroad.

The celebs you mentioned sent their children abroad either for schooling or otherwise and also travels overseas occasionally on vacation(not relocation). They never abandoned their multi-million naira income generating careers they have in Nigeria. There is a difference.

Op is also free to send his kid abroad, if he has one. But that's not the topic.

pansophist:
Hope you can stand the cold sha, and not just that. The winter is dark almost all day as well, and people generally are too introverted for the average African. It might be shocking to you that having a common conversation with a passenger maybe asking for direction might be met with cold shoulder, like you spread ewedu on top pizza

But as far as the best run democratic society, it's the Nordic countries. Its the opposite of America in a sense that the system will never allow you to live an undignified life, even if you want to. I've never loved democracy as a system of governance, but the Nordic system gave me a second thought. So yea, if you're an introvert by nature and don't mind not talking to anyone for up to a month, go there.

Lol I'm introverted, their social life won't be a problem. The only challenge will be the cold lol

Have you ever asked yourself why 9ja celebs have not all relocated to Canada?.... Why haven't they relocated already? ... Simply because they earn millions here.

It's stupidity to consider relocating while earning a million and above monthly here in Nigeria unless you don't have job security.

The travel agent preaching to you that Canada is heaven on earth. Why haven't he yet relocated already. Abi he no go like enjoy the heaven? He will live large in Lagos every year after collecting millions from his ma.gas

My ni.gga hardship is everywhere. Here is a recent poll conducted in Canada stating that nearly 60% Canadians find it hard to feed their families due to raising inflation in the country.

1stGenAmerican:
I’ll say it again even louder: I live in a major US city and I have friends and family spread across the US and I don’t know anyone living in poverty. Your statistics are made up and you are attempting to teach Nairalanders about places you have never been and most likely will never see with your own two eyes.

The only one consuming everything dished out by the media is you. Your motivation to write epistles on the US and Canada from your myopic, poverty-minded point of view is obvious. I’m sure your time would be better well spent working on your own dire situation. Goodbye.

"My statistics are made up" ?? Lol love how the truth revealed here got you worked up.

So the videos posted here made by Americans are also fake? lies can't last forever, you know?

I will continue in revealing the truth to my brothers here. I really enjoyed getting you upset with the truth.

1stGenAmerican:
If you keep saying that you might actually start believing it. I don’t know any homeless people or people living in poverty. The people living in tents WANT to live that way. They are either on drugs or don’t want the responsibility of using the money the government puts in their pockets to fund their lifestyles.

It’s easy to see that you were turned down for a visa and have hated the USA since then which is why you post hate threads and try to discourage others.

"I don’t know any homeless people or people living in poverty." Then you must be living on the moon not in America.

This is the kind of propaganda and lies I seek to correct so that my brothers and sisters who are hell bent on traveling will not to be misled by Hollywood or people like you.

I have also done a thread on Canada. Going by your thinking, I have also been denied Visa by Canada. Lol, So when you state the obvious truth about America, you get attacked by her citizens. I can give you tons of videos and links about poverty, violent crimes and homelessness in America.

I don't know what a US embassy look like because i haven't been to one and I don't think I have any need to be in one.

What makes you to think that everyone wants to go to America? I don't blame you. i blame the american media for telling you everything American is the best in the world. I have once read that most Americans have little or no knowledge of the outside world. They can easily consume anything dished out by thier media.

The best organized, non-chaotic and wealthy countries in the world to live in are in Western Europe and Scandinavia. That's where I will head to anyday I consider leaving Africa.

pansophist:
Your comment reminds me of the biblical verse which says that "to whom much is given, much is expected". No one will blame a bus driver who doesn't make much to send his kids to university, but its a shame when a billionaire can't even send his own children to primary school.

This has nothing to do with perfection, because of of course no country is perfect. Its about proportionality, and managing your resources well. And in this area, America failed woefully. Even countries far poorer than the USA have it good, infact, only the US is richer than the whole EU with about 30 countries combined, with half EU's population, but the kind of problems that happens in that US of A shock the average Europeans. As in, we are bewildered.

Spot on!
While the US govt will be forming big brother around the world sending aid money to Africa and Asia.

Spending trillions of dollars on defense budget yearly while it's citizens wallow in excruciating poverty. Most American prosperous cities in the past are now dead and dysfunctional.

Countries in Western Europe and Scandinavian region with less money has higher standard of living and are better organized than USA with all her money.

Crypto na scam gullible sheeple no wan hear word.

Read below:

"Crypto-currencies basically have no value and they don't produce anything. They don't reproduce, they can't mail you a check, they can't do anything, and what you hope is that somebody else comes along and pays you more money for them later on, but then that person's got the problem. In terms of value: zero." --- Warren Buffet

"It's ingenious and blockchain is important but Bitcoin has no unique value at all, it doesn't produce anything. You can stare at it all day and no little Bitcoins come our or anything like that. It's a delusion basically." --- Warren Buffet

nnennachiji:
They want to live in New York and California
There are affordable states like Texas

This is not about homelessness alone,we are talking about general poverty.

Do you know that there are some places in Alabama,USA where there is epileptic power supply, where people discharge their sewage waters on open lands, where residents often suffers from hookworm... a disease associated with extreme poor living conditions?

Uuii:
Most Nigerians can do menial jobs to survive in nigeria and anywhere in the world.

I was a factory worker abroad

How many Americans or these poor can do such menial jobs that our people are doing in america and surviving and even buying homes on mortgage . Lack of Contentment ,overspending ,show off ,lavishness , fake flexing clubbing partying drug abuse among others are causes of poor majority of Americans!

most of The poor choose to be poor in American because they are lazy .

Watch the videos till the end, many of them are working yet they are living in poverty. They earn minimum wage which is nothing to write home about.

In 2017, a UN official investigating poverty rate in America said that some parts of Alabama has one of the worst poverty level in the developed world.

These people are not drug addicts as people wrongly believe. They are ordinary Americans. The major causes of their poverty and homelessness are; high cost of housing, very expensive health care system, job loss/ unemployment etc

On top the high cost of accommodation mostly caused by greedy landlords, you can be evicted within few days of your rent expiration. While in Nigeria you can go for up to six months. I think the US govt are doing little or nothing to protect its citizens on this regard.

The extreme American poverty seen on these videos are of third world proportion.

As someone rightly said: " it's an American dream, that's why you have to be asleep to believe it"

Babangida (IBB) is by far the richest man in Nigeria.

And arguably the richest black man alive today.

Only few know this.

I realized this at a younger age.

She can't give you 'free money', she can't give you knowledge. Only pvssy!

Spending too many of your time and resources on pvssy na complete waste of time.

I pity African men who are being brainwashed into marriage in this generation. These African men are not aware that many changes has occurred in our African culture.

Why the marriages of our forefathers lasted was because they married true African women (Women with zero western influence).

Why it's counterproductive for an African man to marry in this era is that what we now have are westernized-african women. The global dominance of Western culture robbed us of our true African women...they women that our forefathers married.

Since changes has occurred in our culture due to Western influence. For we to stay abreast we have to change with the times. The time that we are in doesn't call for marriage because it's not favourable to the African man.

That's one of the reasons why there is low rate of marriage amount African American in the US. They were African men taken to the Western world to abide by Western laws and behaviors. Their women fully Westernized. They are facing Western invasion to their culture same with what we African men are facing in Africa.

Don't succumb to any pressure to marry. Those pressurizing you are under the same Western bondage. You can make babies but don't marry. Marriage was great in the past but unfavorable in this era.

Marriage in this generation Na complete waste of time and resources.

Na to find who go born for you sure pass

The major reason why you can't see this kind of infrastructure in Nigeria is not because of corruption.

But because we are not "civilized enough".

People are downplaying this point. Black people all over the world (Nigerians inclusive) are not "civilized enough".

Think about is; have you ever seen this kind of infrastructure in any country in the world solely run by black people? If you have seen please tell me.

Apart from building world-class road, Nigeria have in the past built world-class stadiums in Abuja and Uyo. Go to those stadiums today and see what it has become due to poor maintainace culture of these black uncivilized people.

Go to all black neighborhoods around the world and even in first world countries like Europe and America, you will see replica of Nigeria in those neighborhoods.

CORRUPTION IS NOT THE PROBLEM, MONEY IS NOT THE PROBLEM.BLACK MAN PRIMITIVITY IS THE PROBLEM.

Know this and know peace!

the bookies are structured in the manner in which the house will always win no matter what....... in football anything can happen...man city can lose to Norwich tomorrow that's why the odds always favour the bookies.....you can never beat the bookies

You can beat the bookies. There are inefficiencies something in the bet market,stock market, forex market etc because it's man-made. Don't bet all the time just spot the loophole, stake on it and you will always win.

The real bad boys and aggressive celebs are Jim Iyke and Burna Boys... No near them unless you are capable in street fights.

Frank edoho, Tonto and others will only fight you on social media.

Billionaire's Club produced in 2003 is my Nollywood all time best movie. The storytelling is top notch

Many Nigerians are interested in learning how to "make money".

Only few are interested in learning how to "manage money"

Money management is more important than money making.

Riches comes from RISK taking.

HERE IS FORMULA FOR WEALTH:

1. Take risk to make money.

2. Use that money to take more risk for more money.

Then

3. Live below your means.

That's the formula, you will be rich forever!

From the look of things, e-naira is neither 'fiat money' nor 'crypto'. The real motive of the money is shrouded in secrecy.

One of the golden rule of finance is:

Don't invest in anything you don't understand.

Saving your money in any currency be it Dollar or Pound Sterling is a bad move. Inflation and devaluation also occurs on dollar and in dollar economy. The US dollar has lost over 96% of its value since 1913 and over 30% of its value in last 20yrs.

Investing your money is the right way to go, that's what wealthy people do. Even if you invest in an economy like the Zimbabwean economy, you will still be better off than someone who saved his money in US Dollar.

Most people here are not telling themselves the truth. It's extremely difficult to find all the numerous qualities an African man wants in one woman.

Your grandfather, upto your first ancestor had successful polygamous marriage, E reach your father own time and your own time una follow whiteman culture and religion go dey practice monogamy. Now una they confused on what to go for in marriage.

Your great grandfather married they one that had big nyash, they one that can cook, they one that has character respectively and had longer life probably died above 100yrs.

You that followed white man to marry one wife with all the wahala will die @ 70yrs and people will celebrate say you try.

The westernized modern African man is confused. He does not no where his problems are coming from.

There are lots of financial uneducated people in Nigeria. The successes recorded by several ponzi schemes in the past few years has proven that.

Any financial literate person knows that promise of monthly ROI in double digit % is a red flag.

Since we have a lots of vulnerable and gullible people in this country, it's about time the government steps in to save her populace.

Many Nigerians are interested in learning how to "make money".

Only few are interested in learning how to "manage money"

Money management is more important than money making.

I don't think it's a good business decision for them to use nearly 2 millions dollars for promotions.

yetunsbay:
lol so funny what's deep in this.

One thing I know is that saving in USD is far better than Naira. And yes,while taking inflation in cognisance sef.

Saving your money in any currency be it Dollar or Pound Sterling is a bad move. Inflation and devaluation also occurs on dollar and in dollar economy. The US dollar has lost over 96% of its value since 1913 and over 30% of its value in last 20yrs.

Investing your money is the right way to go, that's what wealthy people do. Even if you invest in an economy like Zimbabwean economy, you will be better off than someone who saved his money in US Dollar.
