I have heard and read about people wanting to travel abroad to work to earn dollar. Some of those who succeed eventually complain about the very high standard of living which leave them with no savings. Most Nigerians abroad do menial jobs that they cant do at home!
There is rumour that Donald Trump want t send Nigerians in the US away if he becomes the president. But really are Nigerians doing well in the US compared with if they stayed in Nigeria and work the way they work in the US?

certainly yes. there is no level playing ground between colleagues in the developed countries and the third tier countries. i saw an 18 year old purchase a site well over $5000 on flippa. it's unspeakable in the Nigerian setting

He purchased a website for 1 million naira ($5000)? I know of Nigerians who do more than that online here in Nigeria despite the huge sums we pay for internet and down time sometimes. In advanced climes they do not experience internet issues as such. Nigerians still press on despite.

you know of 18 year old Nigerian internet marketers who buy stuffs in the range of $5000 with their hard earned money? you must be kidding

A lot of Nigerians are making serious money both in local and foreign currency; and they have never stepped foot outside the shores of Nigeria. There's too much money in Nigeria my people, but Nigerians just refuse to see beyond their nose.

I know of someone who heads a department in an insurance company in Lagos. he won the visa lottery then but he refused to go because he believes he is doing fine in Nigeria already. To him travelling to US to begin all over again is not advisable. Your views?

But some are crazily wanting to travel not knowing that all over there is over regulated combined with the fierce weather.

I have a friend who was doing well with his laundry business. Two years down the line, he has been saving to jet out. He did, after he was able to saved almost a million. He gave the laundry to his brother who is now doing very well because of previous customers and workers.

One yr later, he opened up: dude, I shld come back, but I can't come back to laundry because people will feel somehow. And I can't ask my bro to send me cash cos it feels somehow. I worked like four places a day and its killing me. Gotta pay for alot of things. I need to really make it befpre thinking of coming back for life!

I know of a lawyer who travelled to Brazil and came back with nothing. the items he shared to save face were bought from Oshodi, Lagos. lets share experiences of the good side and the other so that others can learn.

Trust me. This is not enough to draw a conclusion. Just one case can be regarded as an isolated case.

What fierce weather? Keep stroking yourself.

My view is that he took available spot from someone that could have used it

Am not kidding, in some places when it is cold its very cold and when it is hot it is extremely hot. Its in the extreme in both cases. Ice rain, snow, and then heat oozing from the soil, etc.

Is it by force to leave in Atlanta or Phoenix?

Come to Southern California and enjoy year round perfect weather or go to Hawaii.

Agreed my broda, but people in california have complained about the winter cold which is rather much this year. What about the heat in Oklahoma and the cold too when its cold? They all at extreme when they occur IN THEIR SEASON now!

You're making excuses. I commute to work and back on a motorcycle so it's not that cold.

Their are very temperate regions in the US.

There is no definite answer to your question. Every one will say what is relative to their experience and what they have heard people say. So no true answer at all to what you are asking us.

Exactly!
This is an inconclusive discussion.

Whatever works for you. If staying here makes sense to you,feel free to,and if you have to travel out,please be my guest!

You can't generalize on a topic like this,except you have a biased point of view already.

I want Jand!

Some black guys were killed within the past 1 week in Dallas by police. is it worth it to leave your home country self? The huzzle is real back home and you can always see your people to look up to. its a different ball game abroad but all people wants to show they have some things to offer from abroad.

Hello again,
Now with the Trump administrations policies, is it still worth it to leave ones country enmass in search of greener pasture? The energy we put abroad if we put it in our home country things will improve for us.

Interesting

Once God shows us the way we will make it.
