AngelicBeing: I remember a thread in 2014 or so where a Nigerian resident was saying how he could earn the top salary of ā¦800K/mo at his company in a few years and how that was a better prospect than migrating to the USA or UK be a 4th Class Slave Citizen for the White Man. Then last month this Nigerian resident made my day with his confidence, maybe you should consult with him since you think 3 million isn't worth the enjoyment - ariesbull: The juju is strong. I'm not laughing at anyone because me sef I fell for it and actually quit my job at one of the best institutions in THE WORLD to go live in Nigeria. Imagine Like, there were these Igbo guys laughing at me on another thread for being a LOST MAN abroad and having life insurance and honestly what could I say to them? It's hard to grasp the overarching situation when you're in that Zoo. Nigeria, Nigeria, Nigeria....We Hail Thee! Good Luck to Nigerians. 4 Likes

ariesbull: I leave that to the Nigerian business hero Dangote since I've done my bit in the past. But I thought Nigeria was a business heaven? š¤ So what am I reading here? https://www.nairaland.com/8088617/more-put-money-business-more/2#129901780 Or we can appeal to President Tinubu and his $10 billion in 2024 Federal Government revenue. Yeah, don't be surprised, it's gonna be less than $10 billion this year at current rates Keep enjoying. Me I'm off to wash more dead bodies...after that it's on to my Security Guard job where I can get some sleep. Good Luck to Nigeria. 2 Likes |

ariesbull: Soo sad and annoying. They cant see the game these women are playing. If a woman gets a better paying job abroad, she wont mind her husband resigning from an oil and gas job in Nigeria to become a plumber abroad. At the bottom of it, is exchange of power. She envies you for being more successful here and she baits you to relinquish that power to her |

Iamblessed85: Some of you just come online to say nonsense. You don't even know me. Leaving Nigeria was the best thing that ever happened to me. I kid you not. It doesn't matter what I do for a living. Life here is much better than anything you can think of in Nigeria. Meanwhile, I am making giant strides already. Bro. There are things you will never understand until you leave Nigeria. Meanwhile, how are you enjoying the current situation of the country? 3 Likes |

Re: Finally Migrated To Australia At Age 48. This Is My Story So Far by Karleb(m): 4:45am On Jun 17 |
lastkingsman: It was the alternative people gave to garri because it's now so expensive. I have never heard about that thing in my life. The last garri my mum bought for me was 15k per basin and I'm sure it's more expensive than that now. A time is coming when we will see the nutritional value in eating sand. |

Usefulsense: Didnāt want to engage you directly because i was angry. I know you (not in real terms). Itās you who needs to know himself more. Your inferiority complex is nauseating. Like you, iām also an accountant and probably earn x2 of what you earned in Nigeria. I live in a gated estate, the commute from home to office is like 5 mins for me, i earn more USD in Nigeria than most people working corporate jobs abroad, let alone minimum wage jobs. Everything youāre enjoying abroad, iām enjoying here plus iām in my father land. I dont have to walk lightly for fear of my steps making too much noise. A second passport is good especially in the area of global mobility but i will never leave a corporate job in Nigeria to work a blue collar job abroad no matter the pay. Itās not how iām wired mentally. I have self respect and self pride. Nigeria isnāt all that bad, it depends on who you are listening to. Be careful the advice you take online! You dont know who is on the end or what their motives are. 1. The whole emigration wave is more than likely a sponsored trend.. There are paid agents everywhere pushing that narrative. I suspect these agents have may even have foreign sponsors as well. How else will they get people to do their lowly jobs? 2. Thereās never been a time when Nigeria was rosy. The country has always been on the brink. Go and read threads on nairaland as far back as 2005, you would see expressions of thesame feelings of hopelessness. What changed now? 3. A never do wellās account of Nigeria would be different from that of a successful guy. When these set of people were in school, they squandered their time and graduated with bad grades. Today, they cant get jobs and their voices are the loudest in terms of demarketing of the country. They would gladly throw away their dignity to work lowly jobs abroad in order to catch up with their mates that have made strides in Nigeria. These are the people you listen to. 4. There are all sorts of agents that are against the unity of the country. Their version of the state of things would be different from that of a patriotic Nigerian. If you come across their own account, you would easily be misled if you arenāt an independent thinker. 5. Most high flyers abroad came from Nigeria. The ones succeding abroad are still the ones that succeded in Nigeria. If Nigeria were that bad, how would this be remotely possible? I know someone who left chevron in Nigeria and he is now with Mckinsey in the USA. Many of the big 4 firms abroad are populated by ex big 4 in Nigeria. An average person here will still be an average person abroad. Who you were in Nigeria is what you truly are. Itās not the country, itās you! 6. Majority of people who are travelling now are driven by peer pressure, a distorted account of things they read online and the exchange rate. Dangote refinery is coming on stream plus lots of other good things, what then happens when the exchange rate is nolonger as bad? 7. Youāre not all that different. A very good number of those travelling were led to that decision by their wives, directly or indirectly. These emasculated men canot even see the game. Their wives were not successful in Nigeria while the men were. Iām yet to see one successful woman in Nigeria earning millions who relocated to go and pick cartons. Women are smart and i must admit it. 8. I have never travelled abroad and I attended a state university. I have been in the room with all sorts of foreign trained graduates and none of them measured up to me in terms of academic exploits, diction and written english. Where is the disadvantage? 9. If your wife truly loved you, she wonāt advise you to become a forklifter no matter the pay. Your dignity would matter to her atleast. Forget the hype about good road etc.How do you truly feel mentally? Do this experiment, tell your wife you would love to become a shit packer because you stand to earn a whole lot of money and hear her response. She would urge you on. You married a selfish woman who would not mind putting you through anything for her own survival. 10. Like you, i have all what it takes to travel. I can even sponsor myself and not wait for a raffle draw. If i travel today, by His grace, i would still get an esteemed job over there. I said all that to say that you arenāt talking to a disadvantaged fellow by any stretch of your imagination. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Iamblessed85: Well, we are two different individuals and our goals in life will never be the same. As per the inferiority complex you mentioned up there, I still maintain you don't even know me. It is easy for anyone to claim anything in a faceless forum like Nairaland. You have exhibited the same mentality an average Nigerian has that have kept you guys were you are. I still maintain that leaving Nigeria was the best decision that ever happened to me. A salary of 2 million Naira net per month can never bring me back to Nigera. Bro, I use to have the same thinking as you until I left Nigeria. Like I said, there are things you will never understand until you leave Nigeria. But my advice is, don't come as an illegal immigrant. 5 Likes |
