Mcslize: The funniest thing about you who appear to know everyone more than they know themselves is that you left Nigeria in body but still here in spirit. Lol. Only if you knew what I meant ![]() ![]() ![]() BTW: I'm not against japa o, because I tried it in 2013 AVL, the last one Nigeria participated in and my wife was selected, together with me and our six months old daughter. But my point is that all Nigerians can't japa, not possible. Then, people with well paying jobs should also think deeply before japa. |

Dennisochampa: You just said you are gradually beginning to find your feet and that's what follows for every immigrant. It's always hard at first and it's expected but it gets much better over time when you find your feet. Please stop telling people lies that people abroad don't have it better than back it. It's like comparing hell and heaven. 2 Likes |

Mcslize: Look at you, laughing. Your heart is still as dark as ever, smh. Continue stalking nairaland But if you are in Nigeria, then good for you.I'm in Nigeria, and I say good for me. Let me interest you again before you leave. We couldn't raise money for processing our visa after we were scheduled for interview to take place the second week of the 52 weeks that the interviews would last!! Things changed, more specifically, financially for me years after but for the fact I'm not particularly about living and working abroad, I lost interest thereafter. That was the only time I tried it. I started my house project last year March and I moved in last year December. Taking care of seven family members. You know what is more interesting? The last time I did work was 2018! That's how good Nigeria is for me |

nearline:you are very much on point. I think he is building a house in Ibadan somewhere for himself . Yeah the fact remains that you can never integrate into Europe as a black man, I tell people, if you want to japa forever to a white country without ever coming back home again and you expect to be comfortable and somewhat happy ? There is only one country you can achieve that , and that is America. But then again America comes with its own set of problems. Gun violence etc. basically bro there is no heaven on earth for us. But if God blesses you and you can build a house somewhere safe in naija, I believe you can enjoy your life if you keep it simple and you are content. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

004gist:guy 800 pounds isnt up to minimum wage. but you're still able to survive on it. and you're complaining. arent you already better than graduates earning mimumum wage of 30k per month, in Nigeria. iam sure you just graduated last year. |
Re: I Envy People Who Left Nigeria Already. by headboyprince(m): 11:18am On Feb 03 |
MasterTeeUSA: rent $1500 are you kidding me? you can pay rent of $500. and besides why do you guys always assume that everyone who japa will be without papers and must work less than minimum wage. is Us or UK the only country.? are jobs that pay less than minimum wage the only jobs available? 1 Like |
Re: I Envy People Who Left Nigeria Already. by headboyprince(m): 11:42am On Feb 03 |
Mcslize: this is what happens. lets assume a guy working in oil company in nigeria doing nothing, stealing money and earning 1.5million per month saves all his money and quit his easy job and runs to the UK with hopes he will continue earning the easy money. he doesnt do his papers correctly and ignores all protocol (typical nigeria and gets there and finds out immigrants without papers earn less than minimum wage. so he starts suffering over there, and comes to nairaland to tell people not to japa that the UK isn't good. some even go through student visa and cry when they cant get a proper job. what were they expecting before, over there you have to follow due protocols, no cutting corners like it's in Nigeria. with student visa you only get student like job. so thats why they're crying... Japa mustnt be all about UK, or U.S or following student visa. one can go to japa to a nearby country and work or start a biz. the U.K is too smart they know most nigerians coming in are running from their bad govt, so they put restrictions everywhere and increase the visa fees and procedures. you cant jump from a prison to a palace, even if you're the prison chairman, you have to follow due process. else you will end up as the palace slave. |

I am not sure you are aware all these countries have unemployed graduates and keep producing graduates. Rent of $500 for which state..pls post. Even Doctors are happy to start with carejobs...anyways those who know know...people like you need to japa and tell us how you found high paying jobs as your first gig lol headboyprince: |

Re: I Envy People Who Left Nigeria Already. by headboyprince(m): 7:13pm On Feb 03 |
maasoap:idiot since living in the UK is too hard for your friend tell him to come back to Nigeria and take up 20,000 job with the inflation, insecurity, polluted environs... then i will take you serious. he should hand me over his visa. even with minimum wage in the U.K, you can afford all basic neccessities of life. clean tap water , 24/7 electricity, security, good roads, unlimited internet access, cheap food, free transportation but in Nigeria only daily Transport will finish your entire salary. nothing else you'll be able to afford |
Re: I Envy People Who Left Nigeria Already. by headboyprince(m): 7:19pm On Feb 03 |
maasoap:idiot who will even make you chairman in the first place. you've forgotten their can only be one chairman in a prison and only the toughest guy takes it? are you the toughest guy? |
Re: I Envy People Who Left Nigeria Already. by headboyprince(m): 7:38pm On Feb 03 |
MasterTeeUSA:there are $500 houses rent dont be stupid. if a doctor can live nigeria and started doing carejobs. doesnt that ring a bell to your eyes about the future of the country and how hopeless it's right now. iam sure it wont because you're too dull to comprehend what iam saying |
Re: I Envy People Who Left Nigeria Already. by MasterTeeUSA: 9:25pm On Feb 03 |
I was asking you where...tell me where you will get $500 houses rent...even your English is a liability and you want to insult someone. The Doctor doing care job overestimated his degree worth in a country that can't even find residency placements for its own citizens...Clearly you have no clue. Good day Bro headboyprince: 1 Like |

MasterTeeUSA: Like it or not, the truth is that over a period of 1 year starting today, even ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS starting at below minimum wage in the USA will live a better life than the a Nigerian graduate earning ₦300K per month. More important, they will likely achieve a much higher standard of living than their home based Nigerian counterparts in the next 5, 10, 15 or 20 years. Most people know this, that's why migration is a hot topic. Let's be clear about what I'm saying. Every Nigerian living in the USA is not doing better than every Nigerian living in Nigeria. I'm not living better than my two friends in Nigeria who earn $1K per day working on oil rigs. One of them drives a Burgatti or something in that country, I'm not at that level so I don't even know the proper name of the car. What we can be sure of is that if you gather 1,000 random ILLEGAL Nigerian immigrants in the USA and take pick 1,000 random Nigerians living in Nigeria and follow them for 10 years, 20 and 30 years, the ones based in the USA will have better HDI than the ones in Nigeria. Everyone starts their life at sone level. There's nothing shameful about starting at the bottom. I've seen Nigerians and Africans generally come to this country illegally and start from ZERO and achieve a lot over 30 years, I've seen children born and grow up in this USA, get married and buy houses, things very few Nigerians their age can achieve. Me myself I started at $4/hr and if I can get to the USA middle class most people can do even better. Maybe this is the nadir for Nigeria. Maybe. Very possible, but let's stop making false claims. You're even late to the argument. Very strident opponents of migration like @Sukkot and @Treadway have been on this for at least 2 years and as Nigeria has gotten worse they're gradually and sneakily changing their stance. You should look through their comment record or mine, you can read us going at it. You're not giving us any new lies, we've heard it all before. Good Luck to Nigerians. |

IbeOkehie: I really love your illustration of data in your posts, This is something most Nigerians fail to do. They love to use anecdotal points during a debate when that is not a reflection of the entire concept or society. Casting 1000 random illegal Nigerian folks in the US vs 1000 random people in Nigeria would show the true picture of whether it pays to remain in Nigeria or emigrate. 1 Like |

RickyJesus: It is apparent you campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015. As a result, I don't consider you to be an intelligent person. So, the first four years, let alone eight years, of Buhari's tenure wasn't enough to tell you that Buhari was and is an incompetent feudalist?! 1 Like |
