You are spot on! A long time software developer here. So I can attest to what you are saying. Pretty much all I know are professionals, all working in corporate America. And we've all been for a very long time. I have been part of an investment club (mutual funds, stocks, etc) for 17 years. All 14 members are Nigerians /friends, all college educated and working in corporate America. I take the train into the city for work, and I run into countless Nigerians in the process, all doing the same thing.
One of the guys in my investment club, his daughter was an intern recruiter at the IT vendor that I worked for about 2 years ago. And her boyfriend was studying software development in college. Google had a job fair here in Chicago, she applied and got snatched up as a corporate recruiter. They moved her out there to California, etc. Her boyfriend also just recently moved out there to join her...he joined a company up there as a software developer. Stories such as these are regular for me

So when I see the very incorrect info that's being posted here, I just shake my head. Honestly, there is no point responding.

You are a demented soul. How can 50 million Nigerians be multi millionaires when 61% of the population is living in abject poverty. Where do you get your figures from?

aariwa:
Why are you calling out somebody who believes in his country as against another country? Why can't we stay and solve our problems instead of running

timesup234:
Calling me a fool makes you sound miserable and a failure. Better get some sleep before your rage causes you to commit suicide

God bless you, i know of a church member who was doing menial job when he arrived but he went on self taught to learn EPIC EMR and improved his skills , boy this guy is flying from Chicago to Tennessee and all over making serious money. Completed his mum house in benin and currently building an edifice somewhere in Lagos.. America, Nigeria or which ever country there are rich and poor people it depends on the choices you make, your clique and willingness to succeed..

timesup234:
You are just dancing round a cricle. Where are the successful Nigerians in America? Please i want to know and meet them

Your body temperature might lead to blood gushing out your nose so calm down. How do you reinvent yourself? By taking student loans of over $30,000 at the age of 40yrs after working your ass off for 10yrs? Thats digging more deeper into slavery. No reinvent, thats another lie like credit card debt

Alikote:
pls no insult we are here to learn.... are student loan lies or house Abi they dont want us to hammer

eagleeye2:
I wonder what the new Imo will look like

bionixs:
do you see why you dont judge people by your standard. The Oyedepo you have been killing yourselves about runs a ministry where nobody is under financial pressure. No history of fund raising,launching,bazaar. When it is time for offering,no one leaves his sitted position. Baskets are passed around. You give or dont give,no one knows

Time for a bit of a lesson in history.
AMERICA: Is a country built by immigrants. Asides from the native Indian, the land was populated and built by like minded people who left their (UK, Irish, Italians etc) home countries in search of a better life.

When there was famine in Ireland in the 1800's, a lot of them left for the UK to ensure their survival.

When the brits set off to colonise Africa and Asia, the proceeds of their invasion and theft was used to develop their home country. Even where there was corruption, the average persons still benefitted from the wealth of the British Empire not just a select few hoarding it for themselves.

However, however old their history might be, they have always followed the rule of law, their laws, from the time of monarchy to a parliamentary system fought for by Oliver Cromwell. So regardless of what hardships, challenges they may have faced, those laws ensured that things did not deteriorate into total anarchy so there was always method to rebuilding afterwards.

But that's not the case in Nigeria is it? People are not law abiding,jungle justice mentality pervades. You open your gob to say people become millionaires overnight and a part of your brain did not even pause to question "how?"
The end for you people justifies the means hence you don't care about the process.
Is even becoming a millionaire an achievement or rather the success of an entire society? I look down on you, not for living in Nigeria but for your typically Nigerian mentality which is feral at best.

When you start to talk about access to quality education, health care, basic amenities and security for all, then I might start to think yes, there is something worthy in that place. However if you keep chatting shit about millionaires, then you deserve that hellhole you live in. Why? Because your measure of the success of your society is the reason why it's fvcked in the first place.

Amya:
Good for you. You have that power of choice. However, those of us who still believe and want to contribute our quota should be left alone. [b] There are people that become millionaires overnight in Nigeria [/b]through hard work same as I suppose everywhere in the world.

Pidgin2:
