Well done dangote

Harddiskng:
I agree with you I failed english

English master, please tell us in plain english how he paid for his university program. So we can understand.




The english genius was trying to implore, that his cousin got the money working on student visa. That he could work and make enough to finance his program over there. Money wey people working full white collar can’t in a year.

Please let’s patiently wait for his lies

Na jjc dey follow student visa rule
Any Nigerian wey be hustler with no help from Nigeria and so called savings your friend used. Won't go and sleep on 20 hrs a week. when there are many blue collar jobs Asians and arabs are doing. But since your not grounded or maybe you live in another world no need to stress

Na clown go try to market naija
No one in my circle ever regretted moving abroad. The right way
Unless na Libya una follow

It was answered in the post you quoted. If you can't understand it. Sorry I can't help

Nigerian diaspora send more than 30billion usd home per annum. Una dey here dey cap

Dennisochampa:
Corolla 10m...u still have 20m...but u wan drive benz because your mates dey drive am and u no get work... Una go dey alright sha

What is 20m
For your mind 20m is massive capital
Bro last time 20m could do something massive was 2015

NosyParrot:
Na wetin you dey chop sef wey go make 30 million no go last you 3 years if you no get job?

You don hold 30m before?
Have you made 30m before and dumped in an account without a job
That will answer your question

Harddiskng:
Stop giving us half-story.

This my guy also paid his fees within one year from his savings from Nigeria, same price range.

…now tell us exactly how your cousin paid his own fees?

Maybe you failed English classes.

Quelme:
I may not fully grasp coz am on a skilled worker visa.

11 pounds per hour work
You don use 11 pounds enter supermarket buy chicken and stuff do stew
How many Nigerian today fit even eat chicken

SamuraiXXX:
When you were in Nigeria driving your 2008 car it was fully paid for a belonged to you.

Now you're driving a 2024 car which technically speaking does not yet belong to you cos you bought it with bank fainance which you need to pay off in about 48 months.

If you doubt me I dare you to miss 3 consecutive installment payments for that car, they will send their agents to repossess that car and they will come tow it away the day you take it to the petrol station or shopping mall

And for your info 2019 car already has Satnav, cruise control, driver assist, autonomous parking etc, the only difference between it and a 2024 car is just aesthetics and a few minor changes on the headlights, contours and so on.

They market it to you guys, you jump on it then come to brag about how you're driving a late model car - car wey you never pay for finish!

The same way you guys overrate there will go and camp overnight outside an Apple Store just to buy the latest IPhone release on credit, a phone which is basically the same as the immediate proceeding model!

Here in Nigeria we pay cash for our stuff, we don't go to buy undies ,groceries, cars and phones on credit like you guys who are pepertually in debt while living from paycheck to paycheck.

Many nigerian dey find paycheck to paycheck work
They won't see
And when they do it slavery
Useless country paying banker 130k after 16 years. Bricklayer for London sef dey do cash work 120 pound to 150 pounds on a day
99% of Nigeria go ddie without driving a new car
Your father generation drove new pan Peugeot but your own can't afford 2001 car

SamuraiXXX:
You're indirectly telling us your cousin is a Yahoo boy for him to have been able to raise over 60% of his 30 Pounds school fees while I'm Nigeria

Fees wey his family sold everything to raise lol
Today he has built them a new house less than 2 years after school. Make una dey whine people for net

ednut1:
how much is a 2 bedroom in an average area in Lagos. Is it not 1-3m? 🥱

Then rent shop then start business and pray to God nothing goes south
Cause no business support system. If your 30m finish.
Otilo bus back to your village

Harddiskng:
Lol baba don change goal post.

Anyways don’t be deceived with N30 million your quality of life in Nigeria would be x10 better vs £5,000 in UK, take it from someone that knows exactly what he is talking about.

Let me even shock you, at a point I had a conversation with a friend in Canada (I like to weigh quality of life in other countries). This guy has been there for about 2 years and we can argue he has a little knowledge of the system right?

He said most people that have lived in Canada for 4-7 years, don’t have $10,000 CAD in savings. Imagine my shock and disbelief, cause the naira equivalent can be realistically achieved in Nigeria in 3/4 years with a decent corporate or even a small business. I didn’t take his word for it, I had to quickly confirm from another friend that recently japa-ed to Canada. Baba is so so and so true? Yes! (He said the yes so fast, he didn’t need to think about it).



Take this man seriously, he knows what’s up. This is the exact phase a friend recently used to describe life in UK. He was hurriedly making arrangements to return to Nigeria as we speak lol

Just for clarity, my friend’s life situation is different. He was living well when he was in Nigeria. Very well. Like i stated earlier if you are living well, and you port to UK without a decent corporate job. Your quality of life would fall so low ehn. You would think you fell from a 10 storey building.

But if you were living in Ajegunle with your entire family of 7 in one room. No a/c, garri was your staple food, sapa was a house mate that is when UK would be appealing to you. If not body go tell you, you won’t know when you pack your bags and run.

Update us when he lands in Nigeria
My cousin even came to the UK paid of his 12k pounds schools fees balance in one year lol. (Try raising 12k pounds as a student in naija if you no be yahoo boy)
Una dey compare reasonable country with country wey first class deu drive Okada and tipper for dangote

ednut1:
must you respond? With 30m you can comfortably live in Nigeria for 3-4 years without working. In usa with 5k max in two moments you are on the streets homeless.

To one of his points There is insurance in Nigeria, those that subscribe to it get compensated when fire/accidents occur. But many chose not to insure their business. Na them sabi

3 to 4 years with 30m
Maybe you meant 3 months. Cause this one na colos talk

1million naira month is middle class and still hand to mouth
No one cam keep 30m without another income and it won't disappear after a year max

MrGerald:
LoL na when e dey your hands you go know say na almost tissue paper you hold

Many of them never see 30m before
To them they think it's a fortune

One even say e go build duplex.
Roof go first drink 10m your eye go clear
Duplex na investment

Dennisochampa:
Na the problem be this..... Everybody wan drive benz...
While with 30m u want to drive benz... A wise man will get a small car for personal use and also for uber when he's not in his business place... But no... Una wan buy benz wen una no go fit maintain... That's why most of you will end up broke even if they hand over 100m to you

Uber corolla na 10m
30m don finish
Small old highlander wey be 20 years plus na 12m
But but 30m is a fortune says people who have not touched it

Dennisochampa:
Na you know where you for dey rent house sha...
This is a choice area in lekki phase one and as you can see... This is the updated price....

Make una no dey allow people wen dey abroad decieve una....
If u get 5k for USA... You're an ordinary person but if you get 30m for 9ja....you will live well if you plan your life

30m and live well
Money wey deyy buy 2012 benz

Dennisochampa:
This man deh mad sha...
U wen get 30m... U be big boy for 9ja meanwhile him wen get 5k dolls for USA na just an average citizen..... With 30m... I can pay rent for both office and house for one year dependant on the location.... Use like 10 or 15m start small business wen go dey fetch at least between 50k to 100k in profit daily.... Something he can't boast of...
Anyway sha... Na TikTok money many of them depend on these days and the best way to get it is through likes and views generated from dumb comments like these

30m can't rent and furnish some houses today in abj and lag
30m today is not 30m of 2015 and 2020

004gist:
5k is nothing bro. Just pray u don't lose ur job else that 5k go fly within 3 months. For u to save d 5k go reach 10 months on frugal lifestyle

Lol something wey I dey save in 3 months or less

nedu666:
Abi o. Most Nigerians that argue why Nigeria is better thinks they know better than their leaders who keep foreign accounts, acquire foreign citizenship for themselves and their children, visit hospital abroad, buy houses abroad. If Nigerian leaders have faith in Nigeria future, they wouldn't be making those investments abroad

They think say dem wise pass politicians
No politician wey no Sabi the system

SamuraiXXX:
Just monthly rent alone will take at least 30% of that money abroad

Well don't care. Paid 15k pounds student fees as a student
Doing well after school
Don't know which nigerian student can do that with the Nigerian environment

Nigeria of today you can lose 30m overnight
With no govt cushion. You will see people who were very rich during get time.

Struggling to eat these days cause of funny overnight government policies and security problems everywhere.

Abroad with your 5kusd
You can go to work know what you will make next month and deduct taxes.

How many Nigerians even dey sure of work

If una like make una hear intelligence don drop for that way

Carry your 5m
Find a business and do
Low risk business with stable. Returns

Would have referred you to trade foreign stocks with like 1m. Or buy tech stocks. But that's more advanced

Akwa ibom government instead to deliver the sea port and change our state to a serious industrial state. He is paying house members 400m to decamp and share Prado.

It's sad he is now focused on 2nd term and not development
The richest state with hunger walking the roads

Peakdesign23:
This guy just dey show off. Invest your money in other things joor.

Poor man with plenty advise na wao well done

Wish we had a neighbor like Israel
They would have rained missiles on certain groups in naija

Lol which education
No sw president has done anything reasonable for the south south and se
Se is not educational disadvantaged. So they should focus on their propaganda elsewhere

Looks like thrasshh. 1990 website. Seen better

Factcheck0001:
