na money hold guys embarassed embarassed.. . Wish i can fly grin
your best bet is to come here for studies.
If you have the zeal, you can do it.
There's a lot of scholarships out there. All it takes is proper planning but you still need to spend a lot of money especially with this Buhari's exchange rate

I didn't ask ur opinion. Nairaland did not give me ideas on how.to get my visa. U all jumping into this thread without following from the beginning should back off and keep quite. Even the frank u are following, have been bashed by this so calles "Americanas" so make we hear word.
Which bridges are u burning? did i come here begging anybody?

Everyone was following the thread and enjoying it until some "Americanas" came in to brag and be forming ITK.

Arrival at our destination. grin

there's a fish pond (of sorts) at the entrance, If you look closely, you would see some coins at the bottom, apparently, the tradition is you make a wish (speak life into ya coin) then toss it into the fish pond.

You don't need to ask for my opinion because this is a public thread. By burning bridges I don't mean you are begging anyone so please read that post again from another perspective bearing in mind it wasn't an attack
So please stop all these your reprisal attacks on everyone God bless you

Ok thank you.

If anyone thinks he can track me with my moniker. Na en sabi.

Those that sent me PMs, i am sorry I can't revert. I have my personal reasons. God will help us all!

Follow your mind,

When u get to the states open ur eyes.

Many Nigerians will not help u.

They will keep telling u it's not easy, bla bla. But will never relocate back to Nigeria.

I am talking from experience.

I think each house owner is required to take care of the lawns in front of their house. If you leave it unkept and untidy, the govt will cut it for you but you will pay for it grin


These particular houses look small on the outside, but on getting inside, the basements are huge! shocked shocked

You already converted the $2,000 to naira at the parallel market rate, and you probably screamed "almost One Million naira monthly!".

A graduate earning half of that amount in Nigeria would be living better than the person you mentioned.

A simple analogy, with $2,000 monthly you'll be to have haircut 118 times (at $17 per cut) whereas with half of that amount (N500,000), you'll be able to have 2,000 haircuts (at N250 per cut).
Again, remember that the money is earned in US and would be spent in US.

/.
That exactly was my response to the OP who thinks that he is the shiznit because he is paying mortgage in a $300k house in Canada. Even though I pushed the example to the limit, fact is that anyone with the income to build a nice bungalow in Nigeria is better off. But folks are quick to whip out their calculators as if they are making the money abroad but living in Nigeria.

A very good example you have by the way. Like I say, if US and Canada demand outright purchase of cars, many people will never own a car in their lifetime. Much of the lifestyle things here is financed: Cars, furniture, electronics, etc. you name it. An average American is drowning in debt. Savings is the biggest challenge no matter the income level. The society thrives on consumer spending. On the flip side, the illusion of "doing well" is what is sustaining repo and foreclosure "ministries".

Your analogy is right but how we you cut hair 118 times. The money in America is for Americans. But the least jobs in America can make you live average life, not what is obtainable in our hemisphere, bro.
