very interesting indeed.

GidiChoice:
With 900k can anyone suggest which European country to consider?

If I were you, I'd move to another African country and start a business

But before that, I'd do background research in the business I want to do for 4 to 6 months first

After visa application plus flight to Europe, that 900k don cut considerably

ddooskie:
I have been saving a larger chunk of my salary to actualize the dream of leaving this godforsaken country one day.

Each waking moment na so so bad news for we kontri... How did we get here sef?
No matter how long it takes, I'm jetting out. It's a sacrifice for my unborn kids.

Just a little advise

Be saving a part of that money in forex (best bet is dollar and euro)

and besides, make sure your bank statements are very "busy"
it helps

Thank me later.

There are many, very many foreigners living in Nigeria. Whites, Indians, Arabs, Lebanese, Nigerians, Togolese, Chinese, Ghanians, Ivorians, I repeat many more nationalities living here quietly and peacefully.

*clears throat*

stemmez:
Most people believe other African countries are trash but believe me, many Nigerians are making it big in those countries. I am not talking about the popular ones like South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia or Ghana or those Arab nations. I'm referring to the West , East and Central African countries like Senegal, Kenya, Gambia , Guinea , Angola and etc..

Let's hear your views if you are in any of those African countries, the economy and the likes.

I know of Gambia, many Nigerian professionals are there making it big. Also, many Igbo traders are there also.

let the comments keep coming in

Well I have lived in some other African countries, and yes, especially if you are an entrepreneur, moving to another stable African counter could be the best thing you could ever do

Life in Abidjan is lovely, life in Accra too is also lovely but I prefer Abidjan

When I stayed in Cotonou and Abomey Calavi, life was slower than what I am used to, but I loved it.

Lome is VERY SMALL and Ouaga is also a bit slow.

Liberia and Sierra Leone to me are even more shitty than Nigeria, but they have business potential too


Sadly the Lebanese and Chinese are the ones profiting, especially in Freetown


so guys, with proper planning and God on your side, you will most definitely succeed out there

salford1:
You are correct. No quick money in any developed country in the world. It's only in Africa that you can make quick money by ilegal means.

Op, the bulk of the money you make in Germany would be spent in Germany. That is how advanced economy systems are designed to work.

But why the obsession with quick money among Africans?

It reeks low mentality

SoapQueen:
Oyinbo.. Na wah for una. I heard Jennifer Aniston is pregnant too.

Yea

They don't put themselves under the restrictions that Africans put themselves in.

uzoma213:

This makes zero sense
Iwobi has a bigger stature than Wiz, that's all.

All these foolish comparisons sef

engrkaz:
That's the minimum investment for stanbicibtc money market, which of course invests in Bonds, Certificate of deposits, Tbills and other government instruments. When I subscribed, it was 100k minimum. I got a mail from them around last year that they've reduced it to 5k.

Are you saying that the minimum amount needee to invest in Stanbic IBTC bond fund is 5k?

You're not the only one...counting down to Friday or maybe Monday next week.

But I'm still a bit confused tho

How can I buy bonds from my stock brokering firm?

Follygunners:
Typical 9ja mentality! We can't produce anything other than to steal, embezzle and wish the poor man bad.
Other than Dangote.... How many rich pple in 9ja can actually boast of owning a REAL corporation that produces goods?
Everything na to show-off, rub-off, brag-off! Chai! Which way to go for us as a people?

E no go better for all the celebrities wey dey show-off oppress the poor and to all the politicians wey don steal our money finish... You and una generations no go ever experience peace. Tinubu, and all the politicians pata pata!

What is this one saying bikonu

seguno2:
Why do the people allow themselves to be put through such pain by their public servants
Are they stupid, lazy, afraid or all together?

that's a good question

dermmy:
Israel, Saudi Arabia​ and some countries have committed genocide and are still commiting that genocide but nobody dares take their leaders to ICC. Do you know what US did in Iraq during the 2003 invasion. But let an African do these things ICC would be barking like a dog. All these western institutions are just neo colonial institutions set up to enslave and witch hunt africans.

African leaders kill THEIR OWN PEOPLE to remain in power.

African leaders are evil

They must be put in check

Nigeria should remain in the ICC

If your hands are clean you will not be scared of anything

But African leaders who are ready to kill a whole village to remain in power will not like the ICC

RaptorX:
What is the difference between France and Mali, only someone that never left the shores of Nigeria will be calling France heaven. To many ignorant comments on this forum lol.

Will you keep kwayet!!!!

Mali that I have seen with my eyes

Filled with poor people, dry heat and extremists?


Africa as a whole na shithole

Where else in this world are their people fleeing in record numbers?
Not even the Hispanics of Latin America comes close

Cursed people and continent *spits and walks away*

eezeribe:
Women are the same worldwide...
The only factors affecting the mentality of our black ladies,thereby making them less rational than their foreign counterparts are HUNGER and UPBRINGING...

You are right

The hunger poverty and useless upbringing the girls there in Nigeria has made many of them reason zig zag

Kylekent59:
All the Igbo governors are cowards.



Your very own people were murdered during a peaceful protect and were tagged terrorist.

A lot of souls were lost as a result of the shootings by the military men.
If it were the Hausa's, they wouldn't had been shot.

We shall continue to be slaves to the Hausa's until brain is given to our Igbo leaders.

It exasperates me so much to see a leader who is suppose to speak at the right time keep quiet and become timid.


The souls of those that were killed will continue to hunt those perpetrators and evil leaders who had a hand on the shootings.

Nobody is slave to anybody

It's in the same north that soldiers keep shooting Shiite protesters, so forget that talk

The governor's extended a hand to that goat Cownu, but he blew it.


Now that the chicken came home to roost, you expect the governors to care

The governor's can never support IPOB, and it has nothing to do with being "slaves to anybody"

Common sense is not common


Where in this world does the government support separatist movements


You think if there were separatist movements in the north and the SW, their government will tolerate it

I have seen what these miscreants can do, and I understand why the govs are apprehensive

But what I'll suggest is that whoever can stay at home should stay at home, but should not bully those who want to go out and do stuff for themselves


And any Ipob member wanting to cause mayhem should be messed up big time.

simple

Is04970:
GEJ marginalized the Yoruba despite the fact Yorubas made him the president. He surrounded himself with some loud food is ready politicians. Today those politicians like Kalu and Nnamani are in APC.
I was privy to discussion where GEJ confessed he had learnt his lesson from them.

Look at another one

"Yorubas made him president" indeed

You people are just pathetic

Viergeachar:
GEJ's greatest mistake was marginalising Yorubas... Which was why be booted him out...

look at this mumu

Marginalize wetin?

Earthbound:
This had to be a cult initiation. I can't think of any other motive


Nigeria is too large a country for one man to preside over. If we don't split amicably, I'm afraid this kind of news will be recurrent.

India, China and the United States are much bigger and complex than Nigeria.

Is it not one man that is president/leader?

Instead of you to say that the govt has failed, you are giving excuses

KillaBeauty:
That’s a fûcking bloody lie. No human being no matter how money thirsty or materialistic they are would knowingly do what you just suggested. How would a sane person trade their soul for a few moments of opulent living? That’s impossible to believe.

This is not the first time I'm hearing that tho

samzzycash:
lol. I don't think that's why they don't visit. It's simply they can't do their dirty work there. Even at that i know gboys wey dey go Us.. And one friend of mine is even wanted Cause he went there to play a first one. Wired money to Naija and ran before it could be busted

A "G boy" is your friend?

Interesting

As for me, I can NEVER be friends with a G boy

I love the idea of the advert.
it's very nice

Jman06:
NONSENSE.

There's no advantage in being a gigolo!


Hustle hard, make money and date/marry a younger lady. That's how it should be! Not looking for escape route from poverty by going after an oldie.


A man should be at least 5yrs older than his lady.

What is this one saying? ?

So every one dating someone older is a gigolo

You don't know the amount of open minded professionals in Nigeria involved with and married to women their senior

You think respect is by age

Any ways to each his own sha

sean1000x:
Typical dumb afonja; any small thing, they call Dangote. Are you on drugs? Dangote that barely pay taxes, and takes billions from government subsidies and tax breaks? Does Alakija pay tax? Show me her oil company office let alone her tax statement. Otedola? That one. SMH. Go to Nnewi and see how much those industrialists pay in tax and duties, you will run mad in Ogbomosho.

Are you sure you are normal

Ajuju ka m na-aju gi

WUdec:
But we are on the Naija tip. We ain't talking bout indians and so on. Nigerians and Asians are the best students in the US but yet i don't see any Nigerians on the board of most companies or owning major companies in the Fortune 100. Get it?

the question you should then ask yourself is that why are Indians far ahead of Nigerians everywhere they go

My guess is....


to a significant degree , it's due to the mentality prevalent among the black community.


Growing up in Nigeria damages the mindset of the people....



You think it's not true? just to round and ask children under 9 what they think anoyr lynching thieves, or Yahoo boys, and the result will open your eyes


Nigeria don kast, and my children will be as far away from it as possible

irookie:
A very good morning.

I have been a silent follower of this thread and must say you are doing a nice job (wont mention the names of my ogas that i crush on )

I am a TB fan and would still be (we all know why), but now i have raised my risk level (up to stock market for my children sha ).

I just opened my MMF account (Thanks to all of you regular contributors ) I don break the yoke of my village that dont want me to make money.

Now to my question of the day... is weekend included in the daily interest paid? (saw an increment in my account this morning )

yes it is

And welcome on board

You will get appreciation for each day

That is the sad reality some folks fail to acknowledge.
There are a lot of distress sales in lands and houses recently.
It is a good place to put money but not always profitable especially when adjusted for inflation. N1m in 2010 ($6,667)have higher purchasing power than N1m ($2,777) in 2018. A land bought for N1m then need to be sold at above N2.4m to be profitable today. However, the beauty of lands/property is that they are good stores of value not prone to wide negative variations in price.

\

while you are right with the analysis on the foreign exchange value of 1m, the exchange rates don't always tell the full story, especially if you are a domestic investor


The situation in Japan and South Korea has shown that.
just saying sha

elninosanz:
Good post, however there are some things people should note before buying property

1. Not all properties appreciate exponentially over a long period of time. In other words, while a piece of land in Lekki or Magodo might increase 10 times it's original value over a 10 year period, some other pieces of land in some other areas may not be able to increase more than 2 or 3 times it's original value over the same 10 year period. My point is this. Use foresight in buying land. Don't just buy land anywhere because you must be a property owner

2. Make sure that the documentation is correct and in order before buying. May people have cried because they did not ensure the land they wanted to buy had ALL the proper documentations

3. If you are not ready to build immediately or you bought the piece of land just to resell later, i suggest you buy land within estates(provided the developer has all the necessary documentation). Land within estates are less prone to 'omo onile' snatching the land

4. If you don't have enough money to buy land in a good area now, rather than allowing your money to just lie fallow in the bank , invest in some other areas like stocks, treasury bills, mutual funds and the likes. There are some stocks that perform better in the long run than even properties. For example GTB was 5 naira in 2008, you can sell it today at around 50 naira. That means the stock is 10 times what it was in 2008 . Which means if you bought 2 million naira worth of GTB stock in 2008, it would be worth about 20 milllion naira today. Invest wisely

this is good advice bro

I'm taking this one to heart

karpentar:
I just don't know why almost 90% of beauty queens are Ibos. Is it that they are the ones willing to do anything, including pouncing on cucumbers/lesb0s play, to secure the crown? I keep wondering. At the end they all eventually turn out as baby mamas.

You well so?
