Fact!!!
You spend so much millions just to be a third class citizen in another man's land...

A very senior banking officer in my former place of work. Who earns between 700k. Resign, sold some of his property to finance his travel.. today my former colleague is doing two jobs just to be able to take care of his family... The quality of his life there, can not be compared to when he was here... It's damn easier to make it here...take a personal vacation/business vacation to this country and get your brain refresh with new ideas.
Any idea u bring back is a new thing... That can make you more more money..
I don't know what you have to say... It's damn easier to make it in this country... If u can be diligent with this kind of money u want to waste in the name of Japa...

I always tell people that japa is not for the poor. It's the middle class that can actually afford to relocate. Right now it's all about herd mentality. Many are like a bull going to the slaughter house. No concrete plan.

I actually wish them goodluck. They will sweat and grind for every penny. Nothing is given freely.

Whilst I know the country failed them, I also know that this is second slavery. The West don't need guns and mirrors anymore, they just need to dangle visas and tweak their policies a little and our best hands will run and go slaving for them, whilst their citizens idle away and enjoy the fruit of our peoples hardwork. Just like the days of old.

The West got this advanced with the sweat of Africans and other less developed nations. They're still doing same till date. It's pathetic.

Exactly. Slavery in disguise

All for a worthless degree ?

Wetin dey JewK with their high taxes and high cost of living?

The worst is even Canada. You are just exporting yourself to be a tax slave.

You will never grow beyond your assigned tax bracket.

You will wage and slave for Jewish corporations and what little you are paid, will be divided by Jewish tax collectors, debt servicing and to buy Jewish goy slop aka food.

Its the most dystopian slave wage existence one can imagine.

Remain here and let's make this place work.

Nice one

You have made so much sense in this piece, as for me and my family, we are going no where. How can i make 19m in Nigeria and use everything to japa. If i can make 19m here then i can make more. My children can go and study but me am going no where. This country is blessed and resourceful. If i travel at all is just on vacation.

I support you.

This is an expose. You're a smart guy armed with information that many don't have.

Thank you. Frankly, they make assumptions without facts and experience. Sometimes we read, smile and move on. Other times, you can’t help but drop a comment.

Please don't blame anyone who Japa, they are paying that sacrifice for their future. When we were small, the story is naija go better, but it is getting even worse. Insecurity on the high such we haven't seen before, hunger a norm(an hungry man is an angry). Let me shock you, a friend of mine relocated to the UK, despite the sacrifice, got job immediately, wife was given a work permit, she got job as well. What fascinated me was that the government mandated them to medical check for their child, and additional vaccines(not covid) were administer and a care person was assign to monitor the growth of that child. In one to two years all their debt will be paid and they can get job in the profession as well
Imagine, in naija, young lives and talents are wasted everyday, our leaders show no empathy or sympathy. A little headache,they japa for medical. I know of people who got jobs directly and they just have to find their way to the UK and get back all their expenses. No be only study ooo. You have peace of mind, food is very cheap, you will be surprised what 5pound will buy. It is a pain that is worth it. If you have the opportunity please japa. Imagine the doctor that wad killed in the train highjack, end Sars (even some naija people still dey defend bad things like this because of party affliation and what they want to eat) hunger. I rest my case.
If God say make you wait in naija, then stay, He will make a way. But if u dey form up and down, i pity your condition
Shalom

After 20 years they will not be able to save 19million, how many of those people do you see? A lazy man, will be a lazy man anywhere. If I tell you of people owning house nko, silent millionaires nko, they don't do gra gra. Empty barrel makes the loud noise, that is why you hear about it. The ones that are filled will not make noise.

Lol. Definitely not a "very senior bank(er)." Besides, 700k today is not a globally competitive salary, even when you factor in our relatively 'cheap' cost of living.

Yes, Eric! How much do ya think it cost to get a HGV class 1 license? You d be looking at £4k minimum and if you fail, you pay again. I am even looking to see if i can be a train driver that one is like £55k, but the training isn't easy..

When i was driving bin lorry working with my local council in London i used to clear atleast £38k with overtime a year that was even like 7 years ago.

And within.one.year, you can make the 19 million. Back in the Uk....

Tell me the work that can pay you 19 million annually in Nigeria....
And.if your have IT skill, you can make.it faster..

Some is.in the UK and she has made 30,000 pounds for just one year as a single guy ...doing low sklll job

Choice is.yours ....and

You forgot to match the living expenses, 30k pounds a year in the UK is poor wages.

That's what you guys don't consider the expenses associated with the income. The person earning that can't even save up to 3000 pounds in a year.
