Works as what?

If she's not a citizen or has permanent residence, how did she get a job? Or has she been there that long?

It's not just about the cold. It's also about the princess treatment

kabukabu50:


They're still richer than you,buddy.

blackaxe78:


The money is a major factor, but not that they aiming very high. An average Nigerian will be comfortable with $5000 per month and have very great quality of life, but my point is that, to really go wild abroad, you must be hungry, determined and skilled. Most important, must be hard working.

1Sharon:


He's kind of right. Even with a low paying job, he can still get running water, non-stop electricity and access to infrastructure.
These basic things are seen as rights in the West. In Nigeria they're seen as luxuries.

executive12:


Not a high percentage of Nigerians abroad are making that much.

kkins25:
5k per month? na rich guy b dat na!!!

planetx:
How did I miss your comment, you said 24hrs electricity and running water is luxury in Nigeria and someone living on low wage job abroad is better because they have access to it agreeing with the person that said a low wage earner abroad is better than a Nigerian millionaire. And I disagree because a Nigerian millionaire have access to those same amenities and more. And how does a homeless person living under a bridge or in a tent in America or the UK have access to electricity, you people will just be posting nonsense everywhere, this kind of talk is why you see comments like I rather be in an American prison than in banana island.

Emeskhalifa:
One thing I keep asking myself is, if this abroad is as bad as they are saying, why haven't they returned home?

Even those badmouthing Cyprus, still dey Cyprus dey hustle oo.

Omor gimme the cold like that ooo

executive12:


Running water and electricity are not rights over there because you have to pay for them. And they don't come cheap.

executive12:
$5000 per month is $60,000 a year.
After all the deductions (health insurance, social security, State/City taxes, etc) you might be taking home less than $48,000.
Then you take out your rent/mortgage, cars payment, then food, etc. At the end, not much left. And the rat race continues until retirement. It's not as easy as most Nigerians think.
But I must admit that most Nigerians would be better off there. Because in Nigeria, they may not have any opportunities at all.

�. I understand what you mean. 2 days ago I was at work, with the cold and crazy Job. I thought to myself, If I had a good Job in Naija nothing will make me come and stress myself like this in the name of hustle. I'm quite new though, I believe with time I'll get to enjoy the good sides too. Right now, the beautiful environment and 24/7 Light mean nothing to me anymore. The hustle is draining.

My two Nigerian female neighbors keep on complaining. Every single time they're in a conversation, it's about how they're tired, how they want to go back... Etc. But for their children they can't do that. Infact that's almost all what they talk about Everytime.

So I understand those who said it's not all rosy abroad. I also understand those who are really striving to travel out. Sometimes I feel Nigeria is better, the cruise, friends, fun, sun, etc. But then I remember Police, bribery and corruption (I hate this with passion) the joblessness, etc. Then I'll reconsider.

Thing is nowhere has it all.

Who will see cold before and prefer heat?

Not all Nigerians are in Lagos and even the ones in Lagos aren't enjoying more than the ones in other states cos Nigeria is Nigeria and what affects A mostly affects B somehow.
Nigerians are 100% asylum seekers in every part of the world.
If you know what some Nigerians go through at the border to Libya just to seek asylum and greener pastures ehn...
You will understand with time.

You guys really don't get it

Do you really think Nigerians that are abroad especially the older ones like being abroad?

Cold is terrible for old people especially black people. Nigerians that like the country left there at an older age and have dreams of coming back. They're different to those born there that know no other home.

Alot of them cannot come to Nigeria because they are trapped and have children and other commitments.

When they tell you not to come they know what they're saying. You'll get trapped aswell.

If you don't have remarkable skills and are unskilled. You're likely to stay that way once you leave Nigeria. A metamorphosis cannot happen.

planetx:
I can tell you that electricity have not been my problem for a long time, using my friend as an example of people that have discovered that you don't need to be living abroad to enjoy 24hrs electricity maybe you do so goodluck to you.

1Sharon:


There are.facilities.that give shelter, food and clothing to homeless people.

Kenn55:


Since you enjoy 24/7 electricity, does everyone in the city or state enjoy same. Why are we selfish as a people? How can people be taking pride in selfishness? You and your friend enjoy 24/7 light, others can go to hell and you are happy about it. May God forgive all of you in Nigeria.

shantti:

R u okay, u want to compare extreme cold to extreme heat. Guy, just put your hand inside fire for 10 seconds, That is what we are facing here. At least with the cold, u can cover your body but with the heat, what can u do. Come back and experience kaduna or lokoja hot sun then u will appreciate the cold

omonla10:
its not about riches.. Infact, I make more money here than my sister who is a German citizen and nurse.. It's about the quality of life..

Naija own no dey pass money money

GetMeRight:


All he told you was that you don't need to get to USA or Canada to enjoy regular electricity. Even in abroad, those services don't come cheap, you still need to able to afford it before you can have access. Either in Nigeria or abroad, you need to be able to afford it. I don't see where the word selfishness was coming from. There are many homes in Nigeria that couldn't even afford electricity bills. So, what are we arguing about?

ImaIma1:


You speak like you know how everything should work in every country abroad. She has done omugwo for people a couple of times, even outside her province.

We are talking about people getting discouraged about travelling. Let me ask; were you discouraged by people not to travel when you wanted to? If yes, did you still travel? Why?

You said cold, now it's about the princess treatment. If they can't deal with the treatment as a result of difference in culture, they can go back home. But according to you, ALL of them are trapped. Trapped by what? You don't want to own up that life is better there than it is in Nigeria despite the supposed cold.

This is actually what the guy was talking about. People abroad always looking for how to stop others from coming over with reasons that didn't stop they themselves from going.

If you still went despite what people said about hard life and the cold, let others also go and experience it too and decide they don't want it.

1Sharon:


Oh right, so she's working illegally.

Was born in the UK my darling.

Did I ever say life is not better in the West? Is that what our argument is about?

@ the bolded. If you properly read my first response to you I mentioned the weather AND the princess treatment. Pls go back and read my initial response to you and comprehend.

ImaIma1:


No need to go back and read anything. You have said enough for me.
