Who charges you for depositing money into your own account by yourself?
Which bank please?

Every bank does this for deposits into savings accounts above N500k.

Politics,soccer.

jesmond3945:
Watch this space. What they would not pay is landing cost, but they would buy pms in dollars.

Landing cost meaning what?
Don't tell me you're part of the conspiracy theorists that think Dangote built a 20B dollar refinery as a front to be importing fuel.
And so long as he trades the products to Nigerian marketers in Nigeria,the trading will happen in Naira.
Nigeria isn't Ghana or Liberia Mr.

jesmond3945:
Guy stop dreaming. Dangote will buy and sell his oil in dollars. How do you expect him to pay IFC and other lenders?

You're the dreamer here.
So you think local marketers will buy petroleum products in Nigeria in dollars?
Which country allows local trading in foreign exchange asides failed states?
Even if he doesn't hand over his earned fx to CBN,the fx demand he will take away from CBN by selling petroleum products in naira is enough to strengthen the currency.

tensazangetsu20:
Hope and prayer isn't gonna bring the exchange rate rather we need to be much more productive.

Mechanisms are in place already to stabilise the exchange rate of the country.
Emefiele just changed the naira so as to take away that purchasing power from the people putting abnormal pressures on our currency.This is a long lasting solution,I commend him for that.
Secondly,I think the policy will be followed up by serious anti hoarding/storage of currency restrictions, like strong deposit and cash withdrawal limits for instance.
Also,If hopefully DangRefinery comes alive,that will also ease pressures a whole lot.
Thirdly,I think BDCs(Nigeria's biggest currency threat) will be seriously regulated or even outrightly banned(better solution) after all these reforms.
I'm not saying naira will go back to 2014 highs,but it'll recover very rapidly in the very near future.

Thortp:
I will only suggest people travel to the UK, make money and come back to Nigeria to invest.
A scenario: A couple who went for MBA will experience tough times the 1st year. Yes.

The 2nd year, both couples start working, earning at least 2k/month each = 4k for both (provided it's not a great job o). Let's assume they spend 2k/month(Rent, Tax, Bills, Groceries and Miscellaneous) keeping 2k every month. That's 48k at the end of their 2-year post study visa.

Now bring the £48k to Nigeria and convert at black market rate of N850 to N40.8 million.

Shey you now understand?

The school fee for the degree weh make them give you the visa and allow you in their country na free ba?
Outright multiplication Don make people invest with their emotions a lot sha,no worries.

I don't really see how Portugal is easier or better. Salaries aren't exactly mind-blowing there either. The country has the 6th most powerful passport in the world alongside Ireland, France and the UK. It takes the same number of years to be a citizen (5 years with a few different conditions). In the UK, your child also qualifies for citizenship if you're legally settled in the country and even though they're no longer in the EU, it's still a global passport backed by many bilateral agreements. Taxes might be lower in Portugal but that comes at a cost. You must learn Portuguese to pass the citizenship screening and the country is less diverse than the UK, which means more racism. You said there are tons of countries with strong passports; the question is, how many of them are anglophone? Or you don't see the role of language in migration patterns or even in life's endeavors?

In life, everything is about struggling. You've mentioned why the UK path is a struggle, but the mere fact that you have to learn Portuguese to be a citizen or get a great job in Portugal makes that path a a big struggle too, and staying in Nigeria is not any easier. So let people do whichever one thet feel they have what it takes to do. Don't assume they don't do thier research. People aren't exactly dumb.

Great job ke?
You for ask if work dey Portugal at all

ednut1:
many of them ended up well. Meanwhile there are many whose parents refused to japa and those kids are over 30 years still living in their parents house waiting for them to die so they can sell their properties, some are earning less than 50k salary, some have no job.

Story .
I said if you've got nothing doing in naija,please go to Europe.Atleast you will be able to afford food and other rudiments.
My only issue is leaving prospects one have built in Africa to go and be chasing shadows in UK ugly cities.
It's not worth it.

ednut1:
a lot of children of Nigerians immigrants that went abroad in the 80s and 90s are doing well. Doctors, nurses, tech people, supply chain, social work, teachers, business owners , Personal trainers etc dem full there. There are obviously some that became what you wrote there. I was in the Uk from 15 to 18 years, the people i was around then. Most of them are living a comfortable life they have access to the best times of life and can travel on vacations. One of them that wasnt good in studies is now a Chef making good money. Make una rest. Even in USA see below
https://www.ozy.com/around-the-world/the-most-successful-ethnic-group-in-the-u-s-may-surprise-you/86885/

No dey show me link oga ,I get eyes and I see things first hand.Besides your link na about America and not Europe.
Those kids you're talking about aren't average immigrant kids.
No go one middle class neighbourhood come dey draw conclusions.
How many of those security guard kids ended up so well like you described?

When I hear all these migrants weh dey go Europe dey chant better life for my unborn kids,I just dey laugh.
90% chance say you and that your unborn kids and your tired looking hag of a wife the European economic system can give you go end up for one rundown BQ looking apartment in any major city.
If na UK You dey ,worse!
Your sons will most likely join hooligans to be gallivanting and your daughters might give birth before 16 inside that same BQ and you either force her to go stay with the hooligan that impregnated her or all of una continue inside the BQ.
Your security guard work na standard,that one sure pass surebet.
Trekking na grade one,them no born your immigrant ass to buy motor for that useless place.
Then cold,conji and useless food weh dey that place sef dey enough to frustrate you.
They cook and serve rubbish and still have the mind to ration the portion of food.
Before you know it,your time Don pass,your peers you left back in Nigeria who you were probably better than are doing so well.
Your only consolation be say you dey stay first World and use it to boast to niggas,but you live there lower than a rat!
Na this underdogs weh nobody send their papa dey first shout Nigeria isn't safe !One even dey tell me say when I dey come over ?Say nothing dey bongo again
This happens to 90% of the people that make this transition.
If you dey Africa and you have an income source,no matter how bad it may seem,I'd advise you to stay and keep building ,over time,it might become worthwhile.
If you have nothing doing in Africa,please go if you think it'll be better for you there.
I even forgot to add racism,especially Germany.
If you mistakenly end up for all these German towns without black population ehn,hunger for toto go make you craze!!!
At 35 you go still dey carry vaseline up and down dey beat your meat or you fit see one granny to help your life ,Toto no dey Europe ooo!!
Unless maybe you be student then just maybe you fit get standard girlfriend.

My ambition!
It has taken away every form of things that use to excite me in the past and I now live a very boring, secluded life filled with a lot of thoughts,blueprints building and processes.
I've lost almost 3very bit of my youth and is almost going crazy.
One now finds out that the accumulation of resources isn't enough to make one fulfilled but then greed and obligations won't let you escape from it and be happy.
Capitalism sucks tbh...
And socialising and making friends now has become very herculean!

richeeyo:
Nothing like dating a bi sexual girl

I dey tell you,
They can be very experimental and spicy with sex.
Have had 2 great experiences with them,with the last one being a 40+ milf.
I see wetin I never see before for the milf hand,just that as she dey ride me her menses start,I vex die and blocked her number .
She even had something like a sex coven where all her milf bisexual friends gather and they don't mind passing you around to Bleep her friends and even have threesomes.
Easiest unpaid sex anyone could ever get.
Blocking her was a rash decision I regret sometimes but it's good for one to outgrow sexual irresponsibility abeg.
Heard from a mutual friend she still asks after me.

CaptainAyub:
Fulani look classy to U just because of their Arab/Oyibo looks plus the conservatism of Islam.

Well ,even outside Islam countries ,they still uphold their class and carry themselves as such.
Plus they're very pretty,Way more than the igbo women.

Where you come keep Edo and fulani girls?
Fulani chicks get so much class and Edo girls are really pretty,way more than igbo girls.

Treadway:
bro, e be like say you no know this travel section . I know, but I didn't want to go that deep, cos surface level stuff sef, and you'll see some folks will start bouncing off walls. So my submission was based on me simply agreeing to the basic premise that diaspora remittance na 20billion, BUT also reminding them of outflows which are not considered most times when those figures are thrown around, outflows that certainly will dwarf the 20billie inflow. So yes, your conclusion is apt, BUT also of a truth, at least some daddies and mummies and families got some money from the abroad, without which they would have drowned in raging financial seas here in Nigeria.

Well true,you've got a point here.

Treadway:
great..yea it is getting quite close, but still not really impactful as the outflow matches or even surpasses it. 20billion comes in as inflow, more billions go out as outflow. I'm sure when a report is done about the capital flight due to japa, it will dwarf the $20b inflow by far. Anyway, as you have said, the families that need the money to stay afloat from their relatives abroad, got the money. End of.

You're even missing the main point.
The so called remittances sent to Nigeria by diasporans mostly come in through the parallel market(aboki),since CBN rate and parallel rate is very Wide ,with parallel rate being more attractive,thus play no part in stabilising our currency against the dollar and as such useless!
The only way to solve this problem is to abolish BDC practices and hence direct such inflow to the CBN .
So technically, we as a country receive almost zero diaspora remittance and therefore diasporans are almost inconsequential to our economy.

ShaqFu:
in other words you paid for sex.

Everyone pays for sex one way or the other.

DrAkpamudehe:
No use yourself generalise. Because konji dey worry you for UK doesn't mean other negro migrants are not scoring goals on white pussies. I sojourned in UK and Norway some 20years ago before joining politics after returning to Nigeria,and I was even greater than Maradona in the area of scoring goals inside white pussies. This is evidenced in the 5 children I have from 4 different white women in UK and Norway. Nwaneni, up your game, change your dress sense, build your muscles and you will find white girls drooling over u. At worst, you will still find those indian hemp addicted Jamaican girls wey done forget their ancestry for London, wey go dey give U toto

I hardly ever use myself as example since I'm not your average black man(means disparities) ,so clearly things can be rigged in my favour,doesn't make them the standard.
Dress sense for winter? You don’t know what you're talking about.
Also,I'm not a migrant but a businessman on business,as I've since returned to Nigeria.
And no,Konji no ever worry me.You can't stay in a 5 star hotel in the city centre and ooze class in a place with a lot of morally bankrupt/wayward girls like UK and complain of konji,never!
I had my first standing missionary there with a Caucasian a while back.

jesmond3945:
let me tell you why. Oyibo is a leveller. You enjoy 24hrs light, 24hrs water, 24hrs internet, snow, fireworks, train rides, skydiving, good roads, maximum security, no mosquito, no generator fumes, free school fees and meals, playground for your kids, a lot of parks, a lot of food, international culture, AC standard weather. Whether you are a cleaner, security or you dey pack shit you would enjoy the same thing a ceo in a company is enjoying. Many people in Nigeria will not experience one quater of these things in their lifetime. So when people in abroad complain na these things dey keep them there.

Stop playing bro.
Oyibo land is the most materialistic and class conscious place to be.
Nothing like leveler there.
And no ,you don't enjoy same things a CEO enjoy as a cleaner,the gap is very Wide!!
UK for instance,as an immigrant cleaner working in the city centre,them no born you well to own a car.
If at all you strong head buy one dead jalopy, where you want dey Park am while at work?Can you afford parking fees?
And I've seen luxury cars park in double yellow zones and police no dey do anything.Try am with jalopy and see.
If you're poor ,sorry!
And if you no marry from naija and move with your woman,commot sex from your mind because pussy no dey UK for broke immigrant negros still finding their feet.
Nonsense place!!

UrPapa:
don’t mind them
They don’t know there are no hurdles abroad

Bros,
There are lots of hurdles abroad.
Breaking the glass ceiling there is even harder for an Immigrant negros,except of course you grew up in the system.
Racism,bad weather,bureaucracy, tax,food,etc...
If not,please explain to me why anytime I walk down any major street in Europe,all the security guards in almost all the businesses are african negros old enough to be doing better.
If you find yourself in this spot,you're done!You go see the underbelly of that abroad.
Na konji go first kill you sef because nobody go want Bleep you,oyibos are very materialistic just so you know.

Patriotsleague:
The drivers must be seriously interrogated, driver escape passengers kidnapped.

You're smart.
This is no herdsmen attack,
Driver probably connived with criminals to kidnap his passengers for ransom that they'll share.
Why should any sane person jump out of a car and run when marauders are shooting sporadically?
Why didn't they kill him,since he being out of the car is easier target.

Heathrow44:
how did u get to the UK, whats ur visa, pls I'm calm abt it, no pun, insult intended, is a real question

On business,not japa.
Very easy to get in and out of countries.

FERNADEZISBACK:
Hi

hi

oldienavie:
I had the same concern as you and my situation was pretty similar to yours so I really understand you.
Someone suggested deeperlife or lords chosen and thats your best bet.

I no dey go church oo,I know say this one deycfollow limit my chances.

peepydelano:
Your lifestyle is a already a big turn off for my Arewa sisters. I for dash you one of my pretty untouched sisters but they will reject you.

Which lifestyle are you talking about?
I'm a very gentleman,ignore the naysayers.
I think my lifestyle can only match with that of arewa girls for longterm bonding.
I no like noise,I hardly go out,
Just focused on building my legacy and I'm good-looking too,so I don't know what you're saying.
As for ashbeerparlour,that was a long time ago as such lifestyle don't appeal to me no more.
I've gotten really older

AdamuKD:

You are looking for Hausa girl to penetrate abi?
Don't worry, make I direct you.
Enter Tudun Wada or Rigasa for Kaduna. If you make am alive, come collect 2m.

By the time those kaura boys wey dey fight kokuwa forget dagger for your neck and your stomach,you go die for nothing

Not the ghetto fabulous obviously,the ones with home training from good homes.
Na the hood ones dey in close proximity to those marauders you mentioned.

Zonefree:
It doesn't matter if she's from North, West, East or South...as long as she's a Nigerian, she's damaged automatically. Get your damaged liability and manage her like that.

Foreign girls(westerns) are worse,trust me(from experience).
They're all into feminism(even somalis),have had threesomes and not domestic,plus high tendencies to kick you off all you've built prior meeting them.
I don't want to expose myself to such risk cos I Don too suffer for my life and any mishap now,I might as well just end it all.
I need something different,I don't even want all these so called educated class women(ssce is fine!).
I need someone homely I can spend my remaining years with,one I can cherish.
No be history book I dey find .

Hi guys,
So I'm an igbo guy looking forward to settle down,however it seems like the women down south that I keep meeting either doesn't appeal to me or are too damaged for my liking.
I don't know what's happening!Maybe it's the ones I keep meeting or a general problem.Don't know and I really don't care.
The manageable ones are all old(35+) and I see no incentive to marry like that cos I like youth.
So the next option is going the Muslim route since the girls there are bounded by culture so much so that it appeals to my wants in a woman.
I'm not bounded by religion or petty tribal differences cos I'm a very Liberal man.
I just want a woman with very little history ,pretty and homely.
I'm a quality man,rich ,young,tall ,dark, handsome,educated and well travelled.
How do I penetrate the Muslim community to marry one of them please?

I wish I were in your shoes.
Na wetin me dey find to marry like this.
I dey UK now dey hunt for a good date seriously, the ones weh I Don meet either carry nonsense stupidity for head(emasculative tendencies) or are too old for my liking(milf),dey look for who to destroy his future.
I wish I can get a cool headed,homely 19yr old girl like you that I can make my wife.I'm just 30.

Next time write ur number on a 100 or 50dollar note and give it to her, bros thats the game.

This is very tacky in my little opinion sha,
Besides,if you deface the US Dollar with your phone number,they'll track and prosecute you for sure.
