Words can't express how I weep for this country; my future lies in the hands of this nation.

As a young lady striving for success, it seems to be getting harder each day. Things are becoming more expensive, with an increase in the dollar exchange rate.

Life now is about surviving, not living.

004gist:

See am helping you guys see the reality.
I stay in a 500 pounds house, I earn less than 800 pounds we month .
Been searching for more job but it's not as easy as you thought.

I don't know if its the timing or anything.

Please don't see me as an enemy

sukkot:

They do not pay you in naira, so you have no reason to convert them to naira.

Nigeria just need two things to be better again; open the borders to allow free flow of foods/goods again, and bring back subsidy, and I'm sure things will be good again.

The damage started when Buhari closed the borders (in a desperate bid to enrich his people).
Wicked man!

Why will someon be anti Japa.

To be honest even outside the country the hustle continues but the difference is you see the results of your hardwork. You can plan stuff, work towards them and actually see the results manifesting but it's a whole different scenario in Nigeria. People who are still getting married and giving birth to Nigerian born children are some of the bravest human beings on earth.

Okay, can you compare the quality of life in Nigeria to European countries? You can have a good job but are the government policies favorable? That Europe that you are in when last did you see your light go off? To enjoy that same luxury in 9ja you've to burn a lot of fuel(at 600+) or install solar systems, if you're in for the long term game in Europe you'd eventually enjoy the system.

IbeOkehie:


This is one of the most unperceptive arguments about Nigeria/abroad comparisons.

Sir, right now as I type this less than 1% of Nigerians make over ₦500K per month and 97.5% of bank accounts contain less than that amount. That is equal to what...about $300. The actual data is that less than 0.5% of Nigerians earn over ₦200K/month, but I want to be generous

Now imagine someone who left a ₦500K job in Nigeria and made it ILLEGALLY to the USA in say, 2019 after the re-election of Buhari. I know such people. By now that person has managed to settle in. Right now I'm sure they're making enough to send at least $200/mo back to Nigeria if they so wish. If it's a couple that left, they might have produced a child that's now a USA citizen.

The vast majority of 40 year old university graduates with working experience in Nigeria would be glad to be able to save ₦300K = 200$ per month.

This debate or subject has been overtaken by events. It's difficult to get any kind of developed country visa out of Nigeria.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

Anunakeeh:


Bravest?? You mean the wealthy and rich ones.

Except for them, Anyone below those caliber still birthing children in shithhole are useless iidiots.

MasterTeeUSA:
another hopeless comment meant to create hopelessness in people....let your words edify. How is internet and light cheaper? Cheapest Electricity is $250 - $300 during winter time...that's close to N400,000 a month and internet can be as much as $80 which is about N120,000 for a month of use. You japa to UK...yes you will work but those care jobs are no different from bricklayers or laborers in Nigeria...you feel them in your body true and true...even security jobs. Ask those with the experiences...ask about people that got sick and relocated at mid age, ask about our people in mental institutions, ask about our people with strokes abroad...yet we come online and sell paradise that is not real for average Nigerian abroad.

The day they took the light out for 3 mins here to do some maintenance. They brought doughnuts, ice cream and burgers to apologize . I remember when internet went out for just 5 mins, the next day the internet company was here to double check everything. The funny thing is the light bills and internet bills here are even lesser than in Nigeria. It's really terrible and to be honest the current Nigeria you are experiencing is paradise compared to the Nigeria in the next few years.

nairalee:
Born a Nigerian
Born into a poor family
Born ugly
Born without connections
Born timid
Raised with threats of future failure if u don't follow the rules
Grow up under systemic failure
Marry fellow poor spouse
Give birth in poverty

THE VICIOUS CYCLE OF POVERTY CONTINUES

tensazangetsu20:


Most of the people I know who got married recently don't even earn up to 120k a month.

tensazangetsu20:


I dont envy Nigerian married men at all. You guys are all very brave especially those who newly got married in the last 8 years. If i never left, I wouldnt even date talk less of getting married.

Mcslize:


Mr man stop all these your cheap lies. Show us proofs that you have really lived in the US.

maasoap:


The only part I disagree to in your post. Northerners are suffering as much as we do in the south. Food is cheaper there only because they are into agriculture more than us. But the borders closure affected them too badly

occfx:


In the east we are given birth to Biafran children. Nigeria is gone

maasoap:


That might even be good, in fact better for Nigerians. It is not as if Nigerians are benefiting from the high price of crude, directly or indirectly. At least, a fall in price in international market will mean cheaper price in Nigeria too.
Nigeria is not a country where drop in revenue for the Govt will be felt by the citizens, that's for countries where citizens benefit from the Govts interventions, projects and welfare packages.

planetx:
Crazy how a lot of Nigerians especially on NL think people don't die violently in the US, or don't die from stroke, heart attack etc. Cancer deaths in the US is 600k a year and another 600k from heart disease, 400,000 missing children every year in the US.
