You have no clue, travel first before forming a better opinion better than the one you have now based on hearsay. I will not be arguing with you if Nigeria or abroad is better because Ukraine and Malaysia is also abroad so go ahead and do you.

jesmond3945:
you forget that in 5 years time the value of your 20million will drop to 10 million while the person that chose canada would have all the money he saved still intact.

I will never advise any young Nigerian not to travel, my main issue with many of them is their assuming that things are automatically better over there , just because there are shining lights. Life every where comes with its own challenges. They have their own kind of issues that you will have to deal with.

Our internal environment not the external is what ultimately determines whether we find happiness or not in this world.

Rather than run away from which I derive my identity and in which I am so invested; I would work towards having the kind of resources that allow me to go anywhere in the world whenever I want or need to and for as long as i need to, until I come back home.

?!

£9 per hour is minimum amount you collect as a cleaner.

If you clock in normal 9 - 0

Thats £9 * 8hrs

£72 per day...

Don't confuse yourself.

The lizard will definitely be healthy, run faster and have all the platforms to be big in size like the crocodile if he enter western world in a legal way and follow steps to go up the progress ladder.

The lizard in Nigeria is just living a suicide live everyday because if boys didn't killed it, old men can kill it. If that didn't happen, cars can kill it while crossing the road. Even animal like eagle or other birds can kill it here in Nigeria.

Infact the lizard can die of hunger. Some people are even desperate to kill, fry and it the lizard with their alpine and call it Bush lizard.

Peace

I started my business with 20k, you don’t have to imagine how much 20million will do for me
I can’t go to Canada because of dollars sir
The person in Canada will spend In dollars

This is a more realistic and practical way to look at it.

~£ 72 * 20 working days = £ 1440 per month

~Minus 30% on taxes = £1008
~Minus average monthly rent of £600= £ 408
~Minus monthly utility bills (gas and water) @ £50 = £358
~Minus food/housekeeping per month @ £ 150 = £208
~Minus phone bill @ £38 = £170
~Minus transport @ £30 = £140

~£140 divided by 20 working days = £7 per day for leisure, savings, or sending back to your people in naija, so that they can come and join the hustle.

okuta007:



and you fail to mention taxes …. which wil take like £15 pounds from that £72 leaving you with a take home pay of £57 as take home pay. you don’t earn £££ in the UK and spend naira - you spend £££ and what N1,000 can buy for you in Nigeria is what £7 will buy for you in London - so, a man making N70k a month in Nigeria is living exactly like that man who makes £9 an hour in the UK - standard of living issues so stop hyping the pay

God1000:
I fully understand the despair and all the challenges at home which is largely responsible for this ugly situation.

But why going through so much just to cross to another country, they will gather a lot of money, movement from one African country to another before embarking on the dangerous journey of uncertainty.

They will finally end up sleeping on the streets of European countries after getting there, some of them hawk and sweep to make ends meet, but back at home they won't do those things because of pride.

Why going to another country to become a third class citizen?

There's this wrong notion that as a graduate you must work inside one fine office with suit and tie, live a lavish lifestyle and try to impress men and women.
Nollywood movies and Nigerian politicians encourage this a lot.

We worship people that return from abroad, even if they do dirty jobs like drugs, all our people want to see when you return is beautiful car and house and they will worship you automatically.

Are Nigerians outside even enjoying? Because some bad ones have soiled our reputation badly, we don't have good image anywhere in the world, even within Africa, nobody trusts a Nigerian anymore, so why going through so much just to become an object of ridicule out there? They end up doing those menial jobs they won't do at home.

We look down on people that make legitimate ends meet in Nigeria through menial jobs but worship and glorify Yahoo boys and corrupt politicians! Something is indeed wrong with us.

No society can make headways with this kind of mindset and mentality our people have.

jesmond3945:
you dont understand inflation will and devaluation will swallow whatever increase in value you might have gotten. If you make 100m in 5 years, inflation would reduce it to 50m. While someone in canada would still have his money intact.

but that person with £140 per month would live a far better life than someone with 200k naira per month and how many jobs pay up to 200k in nigeria/lagos?

You mean if I buy land the value will decrease?
No scare me sir�

Many people are making more than 200k naira in Nigeria and many people are making less than £140 in the UK.

but in few years time your 200k cannot buy what someone who made 140 pounds would buy especially if such item is imported.

So why not use that problem as an opportunity? Why run away to another Man’s country? If their people ran away during their own evil days , do you think they would be where they are today?

From some perspective, a lot of the Japaing , especially to go and do menial jobs we would never dream of doing in Naija is a neo-slavery. A new form of slavery where the slave willingly enslaves His or Her self.
