Someone with a Masters would earn at least $4000 a month which translates to over #600k |

semid4lyfe: Lol. I remember some dude telling me that he couldn't come to Nigeria because he was scared Nigerians were going to steal the UK residence permit in his passport. Oh lordy. |

offtopic - income wise its not really about $3000 v3 #million - but how much of that money do u actually take home? and hey both nigeria and the us have armed robbery - though victims in the us have better opportunities for redress as to business opportunities - there are business opportunities in nigeria - its just that mosty of us are too fixated on buying and selling btw - a lot of the good life y'all in the states are on about is debt - which is what almost did y'all in. |

platinumnk: That is after tax and all that, is that $400 a week after tax? |

honeric01: if you operate your own business, then you know how to work the taxes The Us Does not tax Ebay spikedcylinder:I heard, and I was glad, but how feasible is it? I havent heard any good reviews, and isnt it mostly in Lagos, with a lot of restrictions? Even the GPS tracing thing . . . No mind me Spiky- Im just poking ribs today |
Re: Why Do Some Nairalanders Have A Serious Bias Against Those Of Us Overseas ? by Nobody: 4:08pm On Mar 23, 2010 |
platinumnk: eh? and who says our cars aren't insured if we so wish? a license to carry firearms - a lot of people don't see that as good thing - what with school shooters and all |

I heard, and I was glad, but how feasible is it? I havent heard any good reviews, and isnt it mostly in Lagos, with a lot of restrictions? you must be listening to the wrong people. i have a friend whose car was snatched at gunpoint he was reimbursed. the issue with insurance is the same issue y'all have over there - they shaft the little guy if they feel they can get away with it |

platinumnk: lol, eBay, now i know you're being sincere here, you want to tell me that you make an average of $4000 on eBay every week, what do you sell on eBay that guaranty you a $4000 bill? (i know lot about eBay so I'm waiting for you to err) Yes i operate my biz and i know what comes to my pocket every week excluding tax/bills and i don't have to work with anyone's schedule. |

How about $1800 per week? what do you say about that? not even a master holder oo, still in this same Nigeria. Nice try but in this same America, I have seen Naija guys not even with a Masters earn $80/hr Last month I met a Kenyan who makes $110 an hour income wise its not really about $3000 v3 #million - but how much of that money do u actually take home? And whats wrong in paying for the amenities you enjoy in the form of taxes? Robbery in the US can never be on the same level in Nigeria. In the US as long as you dont live in the hood. But in Nigeria regardless of the area you live Armed robbers always strike. before I left Naija in 2008 a female partner (American) in the organisation I worked with who stays in a service flat of $50k a year on Admiralty way Lekki was robbed and her houseboy was thrown from the third floor she was beaten mercilessly and all her stuff were stolen. In the US you can go out any time of the night without fearing anything. |

dayokanu: +1 honeric01:Whats wrong with earning a degree? My sister is studying Nurse Anesthsiology- The starting salary is 100K Thats whats wrong with Nigeria, you cant go to school and study and get a job.

But with a degree? can someone with formal education end that much? i mean an immigrant? Yes these guys are immigrants. The Kenyan guy doesnt even have a green card. Check www.dice.com. This a site for IT jobs and see what some positions have to offer and the required qualificatrion is a GED High school equivalent of SSCE |

platinumnk: lol, i knew that, was just expecting you to open up. eBay is not a money spinning website, you only get what you offer and they even end up sharing your % with you. |

platinumnk: eh - Hispanics aren't americans? gang rape is their sole province? you realise that you sound just the way white peopl do when they talk about black on black crime? no gang rape in colleges populated by whites/blacks? |

not excatly a robbery, but is richmond high in the hood? Oyb, I have worked in the two societies and I know the difference. As at 2008 robber strike on Falomo at least 3 times a week. This is Falomo in Ikoyi on of the highbrow areas in lagos Nigeria. in 2 weeks while in Naija some colleague would be robbed between VI and 3rd mainland taking Falomo. which is a highbrow area. I am not talking of APongbon which is a known robbers den. In 2007 did you hear of the young igbo lady who works for Erikkson that was killed at Apongbon by robbers?. I have lived in At least 3 US cities and never seen highway robbery before. Anyone who has lived in the west before Pls tell us how many times you were robbed while you were in UK or US |
Re: Why Do Some Nairalanders Have A Serious Bias Against Those Of Us Overseas ? by honeric01(m): 4:37pm On Mar 23, 2010 |
platinumnk: Did i say anything was wrong with a degree? he said someone earns $110/hr and i said that must be because he's got a formal education, but can someone with no pally earn that high? though skillful people are rewarded robustly in the US, but you must be skilled or with pally to earn anything of such. |

honeric01: Well ebay is not bad if you know what you're selling, if you are into stuff that everyone sells then you wont make much due to competition. Now if u purchase something whole sale for 230 and sell it for 530 a pop minus shipping (15) then its easier on your hands, though ebay gets greedy, so you set up your own site once you get enough stable customers. Ujujoan: Who send you? you didnt have enough yesterday? oyb: No but you are posting something irrelevant to the topic. The girl knew the gang, and it was said it was some type of gang initiation. I didnt say they were not Americans, but when Fulanis kill Igbos dont we classify them? Moreover, that was in a highschool. I dont see how it points to this topic |

I have lived in At least 3 US cities and never seen highway robbery before. Anyone who has lived in the west before Pls tell us how many times you were robbed while you were in UK or US but you have bank robberies, not so you have snipers you have hostage takers you have fellas like the unabomber |
Re: Why Do Some Nairalanders Have A Serious Bias Against Those Of Us Overseas ? by platinumnk(f): 4:43pm On Mar 23, 2010 |
honeric01: I heard you but thats the problem I am saying. If I work hard and study and earn my degree, and choose the right field, Im pretty sure I can find a nice job to live comfortably. But how many graduates in Nigeria can we find like that? Yes you have your side business as well, which is good, but not everyone is the same, Id rather a country that offers both an opportunity for Studious people, and also for people who like working for themselves. You understand what Im saying? You even said it yesterday, how your brother expected to earn a nice salary when he finished school? My sister rather earn her degrees and work, I rather own my own business. See the difference? Understand me now? |
