Rdfactor: ShopRite in the US are a dying bred with fierce competition from Wholefood store, stop n shop, etc. They are mostly found in the North East and are not affiliated with the ShopRite in Nigeria. They are mainly a good and grocery store and sell similar things….see Getty image of a typical ShopRite store in the USA.. https://www.gettyimages.com/photos/shoprite-grocery-store Yes, they don’t sell Nigerian food and like your words exist to serve America taste. 1 Like |

kunkelhanspeter: This is not true, please. There are some schools; by just studying mathematics, one is set for life. The fee for foreign students is a fraction of Ivy Leagues. The US' economy is too diversified and huge. Plentiful opportunities. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2022-12-15/school-of-quant-at-29-000-an-nyc-college-outclasses-princeton Also, there are renowned universities with geographical regions that offer economic opportunities that are not just meant for Ivy League grads. As for debt, it is leverage. You use money to make more money. 7 Likes |

kunkelhanspeter: Because they are rich and have options. Unless you are rich, you can't compare yourself to them. So because someone like Tinubu or Adenuga returned, it means everyone out there should do the same? BTW, very few return unlike before. Return to what? A declining economy with one of the highest unemployment globally? ![]() 9 Likes |

FIZZBEE:Depends on age, ambition, determination and how your business is doing. Are you saving enough to replace the car you are driving now when it breaks down? Are you able to grow the business or diversify into what you can do at an old age? If you travel abroad: Are you ready to further your education if you have the opportunity to travel to western nation? master or PhD level. If school is not your thing can you hustle hard, good eye sight to be a truck driver? - Good money, hard life If you are a degree holder in Nigeria and don't want to do much reading you can go for OND equivalent in security, English etc. to get their degree to supplement your Nigeria degree because they will not value it on it's own merit even if it is from OAU. You can join the military, police or correction officer - There is age limitation. All this will not make you millionaire but help you to live a comfortable life. You will not be begging anyone for house rent, hospital bill or children school fees, even if you don't have papers. Once you have papers you are guaranty you retirement income in your old age. Your children will have a better life than many of your mates if you give them proper training like you are trained by your parents when you were in the village. Important about children, don't over work yourself and neglect your children. Working overtime is never going to make you rich, it may help you build houses in Nigeria. If you pay attention to your children and train them they will be more valuable and give you better returns on investment than the houses you build in Nigeria. Besides once your children graduate college you can start working as much as you want and still make money. 2 Likes |

ednut1: Quality healthcare or services my foot. What's the essence of your quality healthcare if you're going to get poor becus you have a leg injury? A friend had a leg injury and he was billed over $9,000 for visiting the doctor three times. Even when he subscribed to a decent health insurance plan (I think he was using Anchorage). Health insurance in America na scam bro. You can get better services in Nigeria at low cost, we both know this. But we won't agree due to the desire to paint it rosy to people back home. Don't pray to get sick in America or you might as well go broke for billings. Lol someone was charged $19,769 for a minor surgery. This was someone that didn't have up to $10k in savings Let's continue lying. It's fine, but when we get to ten corner where we talk, we know how we table the truth as long as people that we want to impress arr not there 1 Like |

ednut1: Ohhh Canada. Canada is a little different though you might have to wait like eternity to see a doctor. My point is I have H1B friends in America who basically went from average to broke within two months just cus they had a basic health problem which #1M wii be more than enough to cater for in Nigeria. When we talk about access to good healthcare, let's not forget about the cost otherwise we'll Just be bias. |

ednut1: I get your point. But the only thing that is permanent in life is change. I tried too, to japa once. That was in 2013 and my wife won the USA visa lottery but couldn't raise the money that was going to be needed. But today, I'm not sure if I would have been better or worse if I was able to leave at the time. I can't remember the last time I actually worked for money! It is that easy and comfortable for me today. |
