TheEnforcer:Which figures did I cook up? That majority of Americans dont have $400? That majority cant afford their cars and homes? That majority cant pay college tuitions for their kids? That America is the world capital of homelessness? That America has the highest number of people behind bar? That college students in America are sleeping with sugar daddies in Europe in other to pay their loans? That doctors are not rich in America cos they carry a loan burden of over $300,000 during medical school? That majority of places in New York, New Jersey, Michigan and many Southern States are worse than Mushin? Come on man, not everybody can easily be fooled. Some are highly intelligent and 100% conscious of reality and not the facade called the American dream 3 Likes 1 Share |

I cant even imagine what will happen if Nigerians abroad stopped remmiting money back home. A whooping $25Billion was remmited to Nigeria in 2018. This is only $3Billion less than Nigeria's 2018 budget. In 2015, the figure was a staggering $35Billion out of which circa $6Billion was from the US. In other news on nairaland, Anambra governor thanks a Nigerian doctor based in the US for his donation of a judiciary complex to the state. https://www.nairaland.com/5395943/godwin-maduka-donates-judiciary-complex 3 Likes |

I feel all the poster is trying to say is this; Many people still live good in Nigeria irrespective of the gloom and vices here. My sister in the UK is a lecturer but doesnt live larger than those here in Nigeria. The life according to her is tougher and stricter if there is anyword like that. That doesnt mean the UK is bad. Life is more relaxed here but the security and infrastructure especially roads here is something else. Electricity and borehole can be covered with solar but you will have to contain with many third world problems. 7 Likes |

salford:This is the dumbest post ever on social media. Lagos state has a bigger economy than 20 states in America and when calculated for GDP purchasing power, the Nigerian economy is over $1 trillion annually. There are more money going to America from Nigeria than coming in. This shows you are a complete dunce and novice when it comes to economics. Talking about peanut $200 sent from abroad. The large bulk of that money comes from Nigerians doing businesses back home and fraudsters. When the exchange rate eventually ease to 200 naira to the dollar the Lagos economy will be bigger than 40 states in America. You guys are so dumb.

salford: They'll be ok. Remitting money in millions from overseas skyrocketed in the last 20 years or so as more Nigerians emigrated. It created a cash flow dependency where private sources replaced governmental oversight. A whooping $25Billion was remmited to Nigeria in 2018. This is only $3Billion less than Nigeria's 2018 budget. I dunno if the overseas remittances are alleviating poverty or escalating it. Nigerians today are less civilized than before. Civilization is considered redundant when there is general poverty. In 2015, the figure was a staggering $35Billion out of which circa $6Billion was from the US. Possibly. |

EMMAACHILE: You really think Nigeria of today will survive without thw remittances pouring into the country in the billons of USD? How do you think many have been coping? how do you think those guys who sell stuff will cope of the remittances are cut off It's like you don't understand the full implications of that @Salford, it's like people don't get this.... You think my posts are always negative? I'm just saying it the way it is 4 Likes |

Ugosample: They'll be very ok once they're independently making their own money without assistance. Remittances are not any lifeblood, it's simply the support sent from people's earnings to assist folks back home. The disaster is the current situation Nigerians are experiencing even with the remittance. Small businesses depending on private sector renumerations and boosts, might need to look to governmental support which is more standard and reliable, unlike the erratic nature of remittances. 1 Like |

tpiander:Only if you know how many pensioners (that never got paid their pension), university students and retirees in Nigeria that depend on remittances from abroad. I guess you do not know else you won't make that statement. Maybe you are from a rich home. A post below of Prof Adesanmi of blessed memory.

It is not a lie that there is extreme poverty in Nigeria especially in the North. I am not even going to reply that other troll called timesup again.
