what the fvck are u talking about ? i have lived in America for more than 20 years and you absolutely own nothing in America bexause whatever you own as property is continually taxed until death - that’s why why say 2 things are sure in America - Debt and Taxes - Oga - even the house you spend 30 years financing- let’s assume u finish financing it after 30 years if you stop paying property tax they will take that house from you - In Nigeria such nonsense can’t happen - Ans who told you state governors take peoples houses ? is that your situation ? if so please go to court - dem never born that Governor who can try that and stop living in ignorance - the odds of your son becoming US President is one out of 400 million chances and please don’t use the Obama situation as a yardstick to measure that possibility- your son stands a chance to be Nigerias president after 16 years of Obi ruling naija for 2 terms of 8 years - better chance he has in naija rhan America where racist white foka won’t vote for him regardless of anything he think he knows or is - stop deceiving yourself Sir

The Lebanese will succeed in Nigeria because the Nigerian government AND people favor Europeans and Asians above their fellow Nigerians. It's as simple as that. Go to any international airport in Nigeria and see for yourself. It's not an accident that most of the highest earning CEO's of quoted companies in Nigeria are Asian or European. Everyone think well before writing.

Thanks.

Why are u belittling yourself?
I know someone who makes 30million per month. He is major distributor of an FMCG products.

U can do better.

I started out as a cook in a foreign country and I turned out very well thank you. This is my real name, I have nothing to hide. I'm a real life example of the possibilities for immigrants in Anglo-nations. I know the probabilities for people my age in Nigeria. For example, the life expectancy of an average man in Nigeria is less than 60 years. You have to be alive first to spend money.

I live in the USA. I have friends and acquaintances who've been cooks, janitors or taxi drivers for over 20 years. They own good homes with 24hr running water & electricity. Go to their houses and you will see 4 or 5 cars parked there because ALL their teenage children each has a car. It's safe to say such jobs can't get such a living standard in Nigeria.

Nigeria is a poverty stricken country. I hope things get better there, but lying about it will not change reality.

Have a good day.

IbeOkehie:


No sir, it's racist barriers imposed by Nigerians in favor of foreigners. It's normal Nigerian mentality and you know it. Nigerians respect light skinned foreigners and place them above the interests of their fellow Nigerians. That's why SKIN BLEACHING is so popular in Nigeria.



Again, I started out as a cook in the USA. Even as a cook I lived a better life than junior doctors and bankers. In Nigeria there you're serving foreigners that can kill you at any time and nothing will happen. It's in the news all the time.

As I've written before, I have more social, political and economic rights as an Igbo man in the USA than in Nigeria. That's fact. You don't know this because like most Nigerians, you're IGNORANT of the laws of your country.

For example, you probably don't know that you can't own land in Nigeria. You THINK you own land, but you don't. That's the LEGAL REALITY, at any time your State Governor can take what you THINK is your land. You get CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY, in the USA here I get a perpetual TITLE OF DEED.

My children have a higher likelihood of becoming President of the United States than any Igbo has of becoming President of Nigeria.

Sit down a moment and think critically of what Nigeria is and what it means. You're still in darkness. You will learn

Some people are just blind to possibilities. Someone I know came to Abuja from Ajegunle with small savings, started cooking and selling to office workers, today he has a chain of eateries.

People look down on their abilities.

And you think there is no reason behind that?
Why will the rich in Nigeria spend and settle their children abroad despite their wealth in Nigeria?
If even the rich in Nigeria settle their children abroad, go for medicals, vacation etc, abroad.
Why should you advise the poor and the middle class to remain in Nigeria?

Is there something you are not really getting? Do you think driving a bullet proof vehicle of N150m with 15 MOPOL, with 2 standby generator working 24/7 in your house is being rich, while your children cannot even live with you but are living in Cyprus in a 2 bedroom house with 24/7 electricity, one small Toyota none bullet proof car with no police escort whatsoever?

Please think deep and wide.

Chrisog:

That's a huge sum.

With ten million naira, he can look for products from a particular brand that don't have distributor in his city yet. Goldmine!!
I don't know why people who have this kind of money prefer to waste it on travelling arrangement and start working two, three jobs 24/7 abroad in extreme and unfriendly weather couple with loneliness for singles. Is that a life to envy? Never!

biyams:
When u japa, before finally settling down over 35% of your money will be gone, after you settle more percentage will go for tax and services, here someone can humanly help u there your money will humanly help u ..good part is when you get a job.. unlike Nigeria u can't set a business easily there, it depends on where you're going to Sha, but you'll need alot of paperwork, you'll eat what you can afford not what you want and that's just to save cash as it's coming in....good thing about going out there is you can run online jobs easily (depending on the country you're japparing to). If you're someone who could play piano or musical instrument, you have an upper hand more than someone with a degree there...here your 10million can decide to follow our economy or our wahala, either way there's still a way out, anything you see someone doing for long that u know as a business like selling palmoil for instance, or any non perishable edible stuffs, ask them how business is going, they'll say they're running at loss but they'll always be running the business which means there's a thin line between their sincerity and hidden business secret as it is one of the ethics of trading, think about why people who say they're not seeing profits and still going for the business.... there's something, find that something.....you'll realize that something is profit, now multiply it with 1/4 of your 10million .....see for your self is japa worth it or
that "something" is worth it...

IbeOkehie:




Ten million naira? That's actually a very small amount of money.

Running a business in Nigeria is no joke. The economy is stagnating so I don't know why anyone would think the PROBABILITY of success is high. That's the reason demand for migration is very high.

Have a good day.

What did you mean by saying "people like you"

Positiveme2020:


You don't know what I mean? When you want someone to invest in a mushroom company that started operations less than a year. So that when you have accumulated enough you will disappear.

Kingdelexy:

Well that was your thought and I can't blame you for it because is what is common. Perhaps you have had experience or have some one with such bitter experience. Please stop generalizing it.

The best decision to make in your life now is to leave Nigeria! You can't invest your money now in Nigerians unstable economy.. petrol driven businesses are crying cos of cost of petrol, diesel, firewood price have increased and no employer is increasing salaries.. before Peter Obi will stable the economy, it may take almost 6 years of his tenure and imagine what you'd gain in dollars outside the country.. you'll thank your God you made that decision...

Am obi fan but why did he flee Anambra to do business in Lagos and Abuja just thinking out loud because of ur flee

sim2003:


Kindly teach me bro.

IbeOkehie:




When I moved back to Nigeria, I had occasion to discuss this business. Yes, there's money in it, but it's not like it has fantastic margins. I'm from Nkwerre, Imo State I have family friends in the palm oil business. They own trees and have what you might call a vertically integrated operation. I can assure you they're not making out like Dangote. In any case many of those farmers, their children are migrating to Europe and the USA. There must be a reason.

Anyway to each his own. It's funny that anyone thinks ₦10 million bestows good odds for business success in Nigeria. Hmmm. Well, good luck to the OP. You've read the all the advice from anonymous strangers, good luck whatever you choose.

while you are running away to waste $13,000 on a trip to nowhere, somewhere in Beirut, Lebanon - A Lebanese of your own age is thanking his stars he got a Nigerian visa - and with only $1,500 in his pocket - By 2033 (10 years from today) You will return to Nigeria brandishing foreign kpali , fresh skin and nice clothes as an achievement with the most amount in your bank account being $1,200 after your travel expenses - while that Lebanese who came to Nigeria when you were japa-ing away from the same Nigeria will be worth @ least $ 2 million and living in a high brow area in Nigeria - nacking solid naija babes that poverty will not even allow you say hello to and he will use his Landcruiser SUV to pour potopoto for your body while you are waiting to take a cab to keep appointment with your aggrieved Uncle who is waiting to insult you for neglecting your family for the past 10 years : You will return to a country where the kids you left behind will be proud home owners and family heads doping very well in life, and greeting you,--- Bros, you don come back? how far naw - wetin you carry come ? while you neither have a plot of land or a house to your name because bills ate all your money abroad and the few money you could save and send home, some family members or evil friends scammed you of it and did not build any house for you, THEN you will return to NIGERIA broke and bitter and time will never reverse for your sake BECAUSE time lost can never be retrieved --------------- WHY NOT INVEST THE MONEY AND DO ALL YOU CAN TO SUCCEED IN NIGERIA where the cost of living is very low and the market is so available to trade anything and make money - and later japa on your own terms for leisure ?? Hmmmmm, dont worry, go and waste that money, dog wey won loss will never listen to the owner whistle...

They cannot reside abroad because no one to oppress with their money. It is only in Nija they can do anything and mostly get away with it. For yonder them too no their boundary.
