Reinaldo:


Why are you so pissed

Cos you are HATING on women!

PAGAN9JA:
Very nice and cringy.

Shows how slutty our African women are.

No brains only B00bs and A$$ets.

The senselessness of this video is mind blowing.


Meanwhile I would like to Thank the ^GODS and ^SPIRITS worshipped by my ancestors for bringing me to this position in Nairaland Society.

0 thanks for jesus and as for allah,.... forget about it.

And how HOLY our men are

olyrayy:


Lol. Your insults still don't disprove that you're an olodo

Nor does your mumuism disapprove that you are a zombie
Old grandpa keep wasting your time on social media no go work

olyrayy:


Lol. Abi you're an olodo. See @koonbey who is also engaging reasonably on the same point you're raising.

I didn’t wanna be rude

But you are mad.
Make thunda no faya your yansh for there

olyrayy:


Okay. So... How is it not fact? Do disprove it.

Lol i don taya to argue abeg

Destined2win:
Got your message. What's up?

I did?

olyrayy:


Lol. What don't you believe? I'm not preaching to you, I'm stating fact.

Lol cos you stated it doesn’t make it “fact”

olyrayy:


The other sources of income are the tech startups they work in. A senior programmer would have stocks in a tech company by virtue of their technical know-how. There are also billionaire doctors, they own pharmaceutical companies and all.

Even if you add that, programmers still earn more.

Well I don’t believe you

Slynation:

Lol, don't get me wrong dear, I'm not discouraging anybody naw... I just of the opinion of "A bird at hand"

Haha

olyrayy:


Lol. You can't compare the richest doctors and the richest programmers. How far na. How would you do that? Just check the Forbes list.

Well we are still talking about employment.
Most of the people on Forbes list has other sources of income.
In terms of employment, Doctors earn more than programmers
Have a look at the pay for Neurosurgeons for example.

This forum is quite competitive

Mahn! We need more contentment in this world

Goodvibes007:

My initial education was Nigerian. I had to go back to a Canadian Uni for the extra 16months program. It worked like magic. Yes they hold their own education in high esteem. If I hadn't done that program, who knows if I would still be on my security job.
This thing ehhn, it requires a lot of patience and planning.
Now my wife and I rake over $200k a year. After taxes at source, we are still left with around 135k to 140k. After all bills, expenses, remittance to naija, and other payments, we are still saving $50k per year.

Nevermind seen

nextstep:
He should go. I was assuming he already had the job. If that's the case then, after tax, he should have 70% left ($84k). If he is wise he should:

1. contribute fully to a retirement plan (e.g. 401k), up to the $19kmax pre-tax, and usually employer will add in up to 4%
2. save half remainder salary every year. $32k. This can buy/build property in Naija after his first year abroad, which he can rent out.
3. live frugally. Do not start living like other middle class Americans - that leads to perpetual wage slavery
4. buy a good used car, like a Camry, not more than $4k in cash. Let your friends laugh at you. You're buying US stocks and Nigeria real estate.
5. don't flex girl.
6. ideally, stay there for 4-5 years with an eye to settle back home. Your investments will be earning for you even if you have no job in Naija.
7. only when you're back in Nigeria should you start a family. Wife and kids in US will wipe out all your earnings.
8. I say don't flex girl. You're not there to fall in love and spend 20 years of your life living to feed others.

Apt! Goal!!

Most Americans with all their earnings don't have shi shi in account.

Slynation:

Bro... This thing I will tell you is from experience!!
If that your friend don't have anyone over there or a job waiting for him, he should just maintain his 450K... It's not always greener at the other side, I guess too much of Nollywood has eaten deeply in the minds of Nigerian that whoever leave the shores of the country becomes made automatically....
I have 2 friends currently who were doing fine in Nigeria, eventually they became self made millionaires, but the thought of leaving Nigeria engulfed their cranium, they shaah left, I wished i can send our WhatsApps conversation here... As I'm talking to you now, Na me de send them money sometimes just to feed oO... The image of Nigeria has been tarnished beyond repair, Nigerians are simply tagged potential criminal as long as you came there to hustle and not to spend...So I usually advice people "If no better thing carry you go there or you say na hustle, e better make you use your visa money take start biz for here"

But Grace differs... From your write up, your friend has already made up his mind, Programming is one of the best skill anyone can acquire, I just wish him Good luck

Relax you won’t send this guy money to feed, he is a PROGRAMMER. Jobs are EVERYWHERE

and the people you are sending money to, they are not in UK, US, Aussie or Canny right?
Relax we are only talking about these countries

olyrayy:


Dude. The stability issue doesn't matter. You just said your friend is a badass programmer. Companies would be begging to employ him. Programmers earn as high as lawyers and doctors. In fact, programmers earn higher than lawyers and doctors.

You can't even compare the richest programmers (Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and the other world's richest) with the richest lawyer or doctor. Who born the lawyer papa?

Sit down. Relax. Doctors earn the highest.
It’s not about who is the millionaire, it’s about who earns more collectively and DOCTORS do than IT

olyrayy:


Damnnnn!!!!!!!

If he can earn $120,000 while in Nigeria, what is he going abroad for? $120,000 in naira is about 54 million naira. If he decides not to work again in this life, he would still be earning cool cash.

Like the first person said, it's better to earn $120,000 in Nigeria than to earn $120,000 in the US. What he should do is to quit that remote job of N450,000 and focus fully on the remote jobs that earn him $120,000. Unless he wants to do other things within the current company sha.

But damn, this is a no-brainer.

And you say he is a badass programmer. Job would not be scarce for him. Especially remote jobs.

Chai. Why I no study programming

This. Apt.

Goodvibes007:
A friend left a 900k per month job in Nigeria for Canada, he is regretting it a bit though.

Different strokes for different people. One man's meat is another's poison.

I won’t leave with 900k in 9ja
Modified: Of course I will be travelling overseas to live for half a year.

justwise:


See my attachment and notice where Nigeria is positioned

Check the stats of Canada, Aussie and US

SoccerUSA:


Simple
she has a plan! Op wouldn't want to leave Nigeria for the UK without weighing options.

That’s is exactly what people are advising him to do weigh options
UK tuition is expensive and you eventually wanna move to Canada? Why not move to Canada straight

justwise:


Thousands, in fact at least 1.5M are employed by NHS alone in the UK, there are hundreds of fields within IT.

The UK is one of the best countries in the world, if you don't know that then you have not being paying attention

And how many of those employed are immigrants?

justwise:


Yes if you are unable to get a graduate job under tier 2 visa, if you do then within 6-7yrs you are a citizen or at least PR holder.

Don't waste your money and time coming to the UK to read courses that are not in demand else you will join moaners club

And how many jobs are those?
UK is a dead country living on past glory
Everyone must not be a doctor and in IT

SoccerUSA:


Okay right.
You said your sis is in the UK. Is she suffering or is she back home yet and complaining?

No she isn’t but she is moving to Canada after studies. UK barely give their students residencies

SoccerUSA:

Which one are you in presently?
Or which one are those 15 people in already?
You just mislead people anyhow with the information y'all heard from 'Dem says'


Anyways it's left to the OP to decide the best for him. Because right now I'm very sure he is more confused than he was

I am in Canada. My sister is in UK
I am not misleading him
And like you said the choice is his.

admeenat:


DONOT GO DONOT GO DONOT GO,
Any reason please??
I insisted on UK because that is d only place my connection s solid.

Go then.

justwise:


Any reason?

Yes
It is hard to get residency after university
It is easier in Canada and Australia

admeenat:
. Bros abbegg
Am seriously planning on migrating to UK u know man must hustle, but most of what u wrote above are really discouraging, and this s my first time i will be living in another mans country .
Can u give ur reasons why living in UK s capital NO? PLEASE REPLY, B4 I ENTER A WRONG COUNTRY.

At least 15 people have said it on this thread
Don’t migrate to UK
It’s as simple as that
UK has nothing to offer to outsiders
Any country BUT UK for god’s sake!
You wanna hustle?
Go to Canada, Australia, Europe

Galactico4ever:
Not in the US.He's considered the Greatest Oakland Raider of all time and also a 3x pro-bowl winner.He was a pretty successful footballer before he ventured into acting.

But that was then
Right now he is mainly known as an actor

Galactico4ever:
Yes I've also seen him in movies,just as i've watched him play football.

Still not a professional player
At least that’s not what he’s known for

EDUCATION IS CHEAP IN SOUTH AFRICA COMPARED TO UK, USA, CANADA.

TOP UNIVERSITY FOR MASTERS IN JOHANNESBURG IS WITS, IF YOU CAN AFFORD THE INTERNATIONAL FEES IF NOT THEN GO FOR UNIVERSITY OF JOHANNESBURG.

UCT IS FIRST CHOICE IF YOU CAN SECURE YOUR ADMISSION.


LIVING IN SOUTH AFRICA IS CHEAP COMPARED TO OTHER ABROAD COUNTRIES.

WITH A $1000 MONTHLY INCOME, YOU WILL LIVE IN A SAFE WHITE UPMARKET SUBURB COMFORTABLY LIKE A KING IN A MANSION.

FOOD IS RELATIVELY CHEAP. BUT THEY GOT NO NIGERIAN FOODSTUFFS LIKE BROWN BEANS, PLANTAIN, YAM, ETC EXCEPT YOU GO BUY THEM AT THE NIGERIAN SHOPS WHERE THEY SELL THEM SO EXPENSIVE LIKE THE IDIOTS THAT THEY ARE, LIKE THEY DOING US A FAVOR TO SELL THEM. BUT THERE ARE NIGERIAN RESTAURANTS AROUND WHERE YOU CAN BUY 9JA FOODS AT REASONABLE AFFORDABLE PRICES.


SOUTH AFRICAN WHITES ARE EXTREMELY RACISTS AND EXTREMELY UNFRIENDLY AND THEY ARE THE WORST KIND OF WHITE PEOPLE YOU WILL MEET ON THE FACE OF THIS PLANET. THEY ARE ONLY NICE TO YOU WHEN THEY WANT TO COLLECT YOUR MONEY AND THE BLACKS ARE XENOPHOBIC AND ALL SOUTH AFRICANS IRRESPECTIVE OF RACE JUDGE US NIGERIANS AS CRIMINALS CAUSE THATS HOW THEIR SHALLOW MENTALITY IS CALIBRATED THANKS TO OUR IBO BROTHERS WHO SPECIAL IN DRUGS AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND PROSTITUTION AND OUR YORUBA BROTHERS WHO SPECIALIZE IN YAHOO AND FRAUD.

IN THE WORK PLACE , SOUTH AFRICANS ARE HORRIBLE TOWARDS US NIGERIANS. THEY ALWAYS FEEL THREATENED BY OUR PRESENCE, BUT NEVER THE LESS THATS WHAT THEY DO TO THEMSELVES TOO.

SOUTH AFRICANS ARE SNAKES. BUT THE BIGGEST SNAKES ARE NIGERIANS. WHAT EVER YOU DO, ALWAYS AVOID NIGERIANS BY ALL MEANS. THE NIGERIANS IN JOHANNESBURG ARE EXTREMELY HORRIBLE. THEY NEVER WANT TO SEE ANY NIGERIAN PROGRESS AND LIKE THE SOUTH AFRICANS AND ZIMBABWEANS, THEY GET EXTREMELY JEALOUS WHEN THEY SEE A NIGERIAN DOING BETTER AND LIVING COMFORTABLY IN SOUTH AFRICA.

PEOPLE IN SOUTH AFRICA IRRESPECTIVE OF NATIONALITY ALWAYS FEEL INTIMIDATED BY US NIGERIANS.

EVERY BLACK MAN IN SOUTH AFRICA IS SEEN AS A SUSPECT THANKS TO THE HIGH CRIME RATE AND THEIR APARTHEID PAST.

THE WHITE PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS LOOK AT YOU SUSPICIOUSLY AND EVEN THE BLACKS TOO.

BUT WITH TIME , YOU WILL GET USED TO ALL THESE AND YOU MAY NOT CONSIDER IT TO BE ANYTHING.

FINDING A WHITE COLLAR JOB IN SOUTH AFRICA IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. THERE ARE NO JOBS. AND THE GOVERNMENT POLICIES CONCERNING HIRING A FOREIGNER IS EXTREMELY XENOPHOBIC.


US FOREIGNERS ARE BEING MARGINALIZED BY THE XENOPHOBIC GOVERNMENT POLICIES.

BUT IN THE END WE STILL SURVIVE AND GET THE JOBS.


SOUTH AFRICA IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.

ITS A COLD COUNTRY. ITS WINTER NOW.

SOUTH AFRICANS LIKE TO PARTY AND DRINK AND HAVE FUN. THATS ALL PEOPLE DO IN THIS COUNTRY. THEY ALWAYS CANT WAIT FOR THE WEEKEND ESPECIALLY PAYDAY WEEKEND OR PUBLIC HOLIDAYS OR LONG WEEKEND.

BOOZE AND BRAAI AND CLUBBING AND PARTYING AND FVCKING. THATS ALL THEY KNOW IN SOUTH AFRICA.

SEX IS FREE HERE.

IT'S EASIER TO HAVE SEX WITH A TOTAL STRANGER IN MINUTES OF MEETING THEM THAN TO GET A GOOD MORNING FROM YOUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR.

YOU CAN FVCK A LADY HERE UNDER FEW SECONDS OF MEETING HER WITHOUT EVEN SPENDING A SINGLE CENT ON HER. JUST BUY HER COLD DRINK LOL.

HERE THE WOMEN WILL APPROACH YOU AND TELL YOU POINT BLANK THEY WANNA FVCK YOU NO STRINGS ATTACHED.

SEX MEANS NOTHING HERE IN JOHANNESBURG. ANYTHING GOES. EVERYBODY IS FVCKING EVERYBODY AND NOBODY EVEN CARES.

YOUR MARRIED NEIGHBOURS WILL BE FVCKING YOU AND STILL COME VISIT YOU WITH THEIR HUSBANDS.

HERE YOU WILL FVCK DIFFERENT GIRLS, LADIES,WOMEN OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU WILL RUN AWAY FROM SEX.

IF YOU ARE NOT WELL DISCIPLINED, YOU MAY NOT EVEN CONCENTRATE ON YOUR STUDIES ANYMORE.

THE LEGAL AGE BY LAW TO HAVE CONSENSUAL SEX HERE IS 16YEARS, SO NO MATTER YOUR AGE AS A MAN, YOU CAN FVCK A 16 YEAR OLD LITTLE GIRL AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. SO LONG AS SHE GAVE YOU CONSENT, THE POLICE CAN NEVER ARREST YOU FOR IT EVEN IF THEY FIND YOU FVCKING HER IN YOUR HOUSE OR HOTEL.

ASHAWOS HERE ARE VERY VERY VERY VEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY CHEAP.

YOU WILL FVCK AND YOU GO TIRE.

AIDS HERE IS VERY PREVALENT.

1 IN 3 FEMALES IS HIV POSITIVE. AND YOU CAN NEVER TELL CAUSE THEY ALL VERY HEALTHY LOOKING VERY FRESH WITH BIG NYASH AND HIPS WITH SMALL TINY WAIST AND WARM TIGHT SOFT MOIST SWEET SMELLING KUKUNASE.

THE KUKUNASE OF SOUTHY WOMEN SMELLS SO NICE THAT YOU CAN EVEN BATH WITH HER KUKUNASE JUICE.



SOUTH AFRICA IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY TO GO STUDY BUT OPPORTUNITIES AND GROWTH IS LIMITED FOR THE FACT THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE SEEN AND TOLD TO YOUR FACE EVERYWHERE YOU GO AND REMINDED THAT YOU ARE A FOREIGNER.


PEOPLE TO AVOID IN SOUTH AFRICA ESPECIALLY JOHANNESBURG ARE NIGERIANS, ZIMBABWEANS, PAKISTANIS, NIGERIANS, NIGERIANS, NIGERIANS.


I REST MY CASE.

Certainly a bad idea of a country to relocate unless your life revolves around Ashawo
