$10k is a lot of money in Nigeria o, that is about 7.5 million Naira. The fact that you mentioned it this way shows that that amount is a small money in abroad.

But is he spending that money in Nigeria? That $10k might not be enough to pay 5months rent where he lives. Most of you do wrong mental calculation in your head

I made a comment here that I gross $988k this 2022 and gross $750+k 2021 and have only been in the United States 3 years going to 4 years by June, someone said I’m lying and some other said no true. Now let me explain in details.

Firstly majority Nigerians in the US are not much exposed to living abroad, how things work in the United States, and many Nigerians, USA is their first travel experience/ destination.

What most Nigerians do when they travel to the United States is to get education and become either a Nurse, Doctor or Engineer, Work in the DC ( Distribution center or fulfillment centers) aka warehouse, housekeepers, some are Uber drivers and that’s all, which to me is not bad and maybe that’s what works for them and pays their bill.

You make money in healthcare especially RN if you’re ready to work overtime not only in Healthcare but in any other sector, you must work overtime to make more and remember the more money you make the change in your tax bracket, meaning you’ll be paying back to Uncle Sam ( IRS).

While Nigerians are working others are making it big doing business like the Russians, Indians, Chinese, Mexicans and Europeans but Africans are just working with no life.

US is designed in a way that you work and work then govt will take it back through health, that’s why Healthcare is expensive in US because you must surely end up in the hospital with either back injury, cancer or another sickness.

I live in Buckhead, Atlanta GA and to be honest most Nigerians are scared to try out new things and scared of challenges while the Russians, Indians and Chinese are taking the risk to become millionaires.

Russians and E. Europe controls the trucking industry in Mid-West, Indians owns 90% of all the gas stations in the US, Chinese are into importation, real estate flipping and food, Mexicans are into construction, trucking, restaurants, White own 90% of Trucking business in the US and are the major players.

Now to my story, I came to the US with $12300 after my tickets and others, I went straight to a boot camp with GTech and after graduation I got a job with Microsoft Atlantic Station as Data Analyst competing with Indians, after working for 7 months I upgraded my certificate to cloud engineering, then left the Microsoft to work for Walmart HQ in Arkanas as a System Admin, then Networking Engineer then Snr Cloud Engineer, I was earning roughly $110/hr working 40hrs/wk , which I was able to save and form my company ( s-corp).

I bought a 26ft box truck after I left my job to start a trucking company with hope, which after I got a loan from a community bank and added another truck, making it 2, I was driving one of the truck and have a driver in the other one paying him 25% after fuel deductions and both were doing OTR, hauling for Amazon and booking loads off Loadboards, I made in my first year almost $210k gross.

I enrolled for 3 weeks to earn my CDL A, which I saved enough from the box truck and bought a semi doing hook and drop for Amazon and booking off from other brokers I built up a relationship with during the Covid as rate was skyrocketing to even$10/mile and I was covering 4000 miles a week.

I made enough money from the Semi and 2 box truck, which I later sold off the box truck and venture fully into Semi. I approached 4 banks and luckily I was approved. I got firstly 3 semi and 3 trailers then got my Hazmat, Tanker, Twic, TSA endorsements.

I paid off my loans quickly and applied for another business loan with a business deal/plan to banks, I have BOA, Chase, Delta approved my loan/ financing with 3.5% interest rate and I was able to purchase more trucks ( semi and trailers ).

Today I have a fleet ( 12 Tractors with trailers), I have 4 53ft Refeer Trailers, 4 53ft Dry Van, 3 48ft Flatbed, I step deck. I am into LTL, FTL, Dedicated, Long Haul ( Coast -Coast) Hazmat,

I have a dedicated lane FL - Oregon ( Reefer ) 3 times in a week and each trip pays $65,600 3 times in a week

I have a dedicated hazmat lane from NY - CA 2 times in a week ( $88 ,000 a week )

My 3 flat bed makes almost $52000 each every week and my step deck makes almost $30,000 weekly

I have 14 employees, 12 drivers and 1 broker/dispatcher that dispatch my trucks.

I know my overhead expenses are high but as S-Corp, I pay myself $10k weekly as the ceo and works only 4 hrs daily and mostly from home.

Amazing!

I have been a landlord in a highbrow area of my town since 2017. I'm here to correct the opinion not talk about material results. I could get into the UK and decide to do only £5m deals and above. Believe me 5 years is too much for me to get to £1m. Credit economies are on their own level, Nigeria is nowhere near that league.

So why aren't all landlords in UK all millionaires? My friend credit is a two-way sword - it can also quickly get you into bankruptcy. Besides, there's plenty credit in Nigeria. Banks just have to make sure you don't really need the money before they lend it to you - like everywhere else!

Nursing , Tech... I don't know much about pharmacist but I'm sure they make good income...

If you can go for Nursing.. it's cool.. you may not have enough time for family but you make baddest money

Tech.. you have time for yourself and family and you make lots of money after many years of experience

I'm in cyber sec. Currently earn below 150k on contract. In terms of earning 100k per annum, people aren't lying. That's not money after they take both state and fed taxes bro. That's why we have to keep two 9-5.
It's mostly like Entry level = 60k - - - 90k
Mid = 100k------130k
Experienced= 150k and above depending on maybe its a contract or full position.
Earning depends on the area of IT tho. Full stack, cybersec seems like the top earners.
Ebubu2:
can you quote the likely average salary you earn in IT annually? it would do us good in estimating.

some people here be claiming 100k per annum. can you validate or invalidate this?

You can't do what they're doing, only selling of ashishi is money here, but Can you risk doing that? Moroccans, Tunisia, Albania immigrants are doing this illegal drugs stuff and Europeans are tired of them, because once you deport one, he will tell his brothers over there in Tunisia, Romania, Morrocco etc that there is money selling drugs over there. he will mobilise along with him more 10 of his kind into journey to go back through water or shipping smuggle route the next day. They're plenty of them here returning after deportation, the police won't do anything to them. They disturb people to buy stuff even In front of surveillance cameras and near police stations. They're not Afraid going to jail or being deported.
My oyibo oyibo colleagues will buy those little Maggie stuff of 5gram for 100euro... This is what an honest worker like you won't get for a week depending on your job.

Sir pls enlighten me, u mean people hardly get up to 100euro a week??

But I heard the pay is hourly now and the minimum is 12euro or so per hour, now let say u work 8hours a day minimum (which I know u will do more) 12*8 = 96euro and let assume u work five days a week minimum (which I know u will do more) 96*5 = 580euro..

So what are we saying here bro??

It depends bro, If u have support, pharmacy is awesome and pays better with ease, Tech is fun and rewarding because it will be a hobby and takes u round the country, nursing is more flexible but stressful but u can work in between shifts and probably easier to attain while doing other hussles.

How does tech take you round the country ?
