After seeing the mentality on this thread, it's obvious I need to deactivate my account and avoid this forum completely.
Don't deactivate it .. have been on this forum for years ... 2007 or 2008 ... I started to comment on this platform maybe 2011 cus there are a lot of sensible people here then but there are still some now too just that it's not much... Why I don't comment much then was most comments would have said what I wanted too .. there are still sensible people though ...

Let me share this for those who care to know.

Does anyone know what a crate of egg sell for presently?

Do a survey of your area and bring down your price of eggs.

You only need 3 million and 1 plot of land, then find your way to Ifo in ogun state and buy egg laying hens.

You make your money four times a year on sales of chicken (Muslims celebrate twice a year while christians also celebrate twice a year).

While you constantly make money eggs daily.

Just do a price survey in your area and bring your price of eggs a little. You'll thank me later.

Thank you later for what exactly?

How much will be used to construct the pen?

Cage for the birds?

Feeding?

Workers salary etc.

Pls explain how "The same grit that got you the 6M inside Nigeria, can fetch you 60M inside Nigeria".

Can you share your personal experience how you achieved something similar?

I mean, if you've been able to work and hustle and save up 6M, it shows a certain work ethic and ability.

OK, I'm an engineer by training, and I started out repairing radios, etc. If I got 10k in one week it would be my best week!
Then I started to repair phones, opened small shop to sell accessories, and money was a little better.
Stopped that and started doing solar installations for a small company, small change done dey enter.
Then partnered with a friend to sell solar equipment, as well as install, and money is growing.

Built a hostel based on solar, and now collecting money from tenants, installation, and selling equipment.

We went from 100k annual turnover 10 years ago to 50M nowadays. I don't think we'd be here if I japa'd 10 years ago. I'd probably make 50M in US, then turn around and pay all that back on taxes, rent and bills, with no room for growth. In this same Nigeria, the grit that got me 100k annually is the same that's getting me 50M... same Nigeria.

Link to hostel project: https://www.nairaland.com/2583312/building-solar-powered-hostel-learning-experience

In this same Nigeria, akara seller is making 50k daily, and a furniture maker is a millionaire in USD, and somebody has a team of people making juice. Opportunities abound - which is why many non-Nigerians come in here to make a fortune.

6M is not enough to Japa

Except you want to go there and be doing fine bara or washing plate.

I would 10x that 6m within the next 12 months.

Then we can now start talking of Japa

As to people saying start a business in Nigeria. You and I know that is utter nonsense.

Except your business earns dollars or pounds or Euro. Then you are bulletproof.

But if you are making Nairas, my brother, JAPA when you can

I wont talk again.

I used to be on the boat of no Japa even when I had the chance on a silver platter

Now, I wish I had taken the oppourtunity

If business growth was so easy in Nigeria the unemployment or underemployment rate would be a lot lower than 33%. I mean, that's common sense. Expanding businesses employ people.

You mentioned glass ceilings in Nigeria. The FACT is that inside Nigeria, Europeans and Asians have better opportunities than Nigerians. You will notice it right from the international airport where these foreigners are given preference over Nigerians. There are estates and restaurants in Nigeria that expressly prohibit Nigerians. A foreigner can maliciously kill any Nigerian in Nigeria and it's likely nothing will happen.

The list supplied by Thisday and other business newspapers refute your thesis about opportunities in Nigeria for Nigerians. The highest earning CEO's of quoted companies are all Oyibo or Asian and here you are yarning about glass ceiling. This is your reality check for the day.

Have a good night.

Abi craze dey worry your mama.

Didn't you see where I said it is employees who are relocating? Or the fellow collecting 500k, is he not an employee?
By the way, If not that poverty is entrenched in your lineage, how much is 500k per month sef?
500k is what you see as big money. You're a failure in life.

Just so you know, some of us have businesses here and we can't fold ship and relocate. If we do, people like you will suffer.

I bought a business last year. Renewable Energy business. The owner relocated to Canada and his technicians were just going anyhow here. The turnover between June 1 and today is enough to pay staff salaries for next 4 years comfortably. Mind you, my regional solar engineers earn more than that 500k you are shouting.

Some people are destined to be slaves abroad and all their lives, they are destined to constantly go in search of slavery.

lol they deceive yourself time will tell. i have cousin there and a brother there my bro been there for more 33 years so. My cousin is there too. it is easier in your 20s than 30s or 40s na my piece of advice so that you can quickly gather enough investment and experience. since u don dey there how many of your people have you taken there since abroad is so rosy. if i ask na your wife and children every other person in your life no concern you. no be so una dey behave. i will jejely remain in Naija even if bread is sold for 4500 .
I won't say too much u people over there no dey calm down and I know say all this talk wey u dey talk nah sakamanje. Yeah it's better to go in your early 20s u re right but never say its not better to go anytime u re wrong about that. It isn't my fault I went in my late 30s , I went in as a single child of an American citizen which means my dad filed for me and he did late thats why I end up entering there at that age. I wasn't married then but I had a child out of wedlock and my child is presently with me. Now if I had married my status would have changed and it will even take longer time. I don't want to be given too much stories because u people don't know how this things works u just just think Nigeria is better than the USA so if someone sees opportunity he should go. When I was in Nigeria I wasn't working for good six years when I lost my job I went through hell before this opportunity came, I thought I was cursed even went for prayers did some crazy job that i know I can't do just to survive, thank God for my family who supported me even with enough talk and downgrading as an eldest child, now I got to the USA and in less that 2weeks I got my SSN and applied for various jobs and I got job this is less than a month after gotten into the us. I got my own apartment, and a my own car, and my son is with me and even invited my mum what else again, o can eat whatever I want to eat, travel to many states in the USA ah, Bros which time wan come tell me now. I just want to live a good life not flamboyant life that we live in Nigeria. Now all this things I mentioned re all necessity of which we don't find in Nigeria. Nigeria is a good place to live but u see our leaders and some devilish people don't want to make things good over there, and I tell people that our leaders re Intentionally Wicked. Bros u wrote something that even if bread is 4,500 naira u will stay in Nigeria, yeah it's Ur choice, everyone has his or her own choices to make, me I won't tell people not to travel, my advice is do a thorough investigation or findings about the country u re going to and go legally and see if things does not fall In place, as I dey hear now say Nigeria don hard pass buhari regime Hahahahaha, Omo God help Una peace.

I can't be precise on how it's cost me because I came to the US as a child of an American citizen, so it was easier for me to integrate to the system. I got my SSN in less than 2weeks after arrival and I applied for a blue collar job At Richmond times dispatch as an inserter machine operator. Why I said am fulfilled is that my son is with me, I ve my own apartment and a car, my mum has been here in the US several times, my siblings re here though the same package, I ve traveled to many states in the US at least 8 and counting sha what else, massive body transformation I mean fresh and clean. Bros just come the legit thats all what I can say. For the cost I can't really ascertain cos I had a dependent who happens to be my son and it gulped millions of naira though on loan sha.

US is better organized and have better infrastructure and more inclusiveness and they also have problems peculiar to them but Ghana is easier for manufacturing than the US presently and Apple would rather set up in Ghana than in New York. Generally the principles to make it are the same everywhere and if you can not make it in Nigeria, it won't be possible in the US as well. However don't Japa but follow opportunities. If an American gets a good job offer in Nigeria, he or she will relocate one hundred out of one hundred times. It should be the same with Nigerians. American citizens in Nigeria are said to be up to 300k or so.
