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".

here comes one of pigin2's alternate monikers.

You really must be jobless

guiddoti:
Do you have one?

Let me tell you a bit of my idea.

During my masters program in the UK, the least amount I make is 350 per week without overtime. So, you can do the calculation for one month. I pay 270 per month for rent with utility inclusive. As for transportation, I pay 38 per month (bus pass) to anywhere within the city. Mind you, food is very cheap. Even if you are gluttony, you should not spend over 150-200 on food for one month. Remember, this is just least job for non professionals. Now, coming home, which menial job can make you live average life, that is obtainable, as equate to non professional job here? Maybe you have different experience as myself or an idea, am waiting.

In a Nutshell, colleges tuition fee is cheaper than Universities unless you are given a scholarship which will cover half of your tuition or even a full ride scholarship. The above listed universities tuition fee is relatively cheap compare to other universities( I stand to be corrected).
Also, College admission is quite simple and faster than university. It all boil down to your prefrence and pocket, the kind of program you are putting in for and the province you would like to study.

bros having a visa is not the end of the world rather it's beginning and mind u don't burn down bridges u never can tell

progress69:


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.

progress69:


Lol. Oh, Its African countries now?

U are about rounding up BSC and you could put your money in ponzi scheme? What a waste of education.

This shows u are very greedy and will definitely do something illegal for quick cash.

Little wonder u chose Europe, cos that route is easier to comit ur atrocities and people like u are concentrated there.

Your jail term will be longer than 3rd mainland bridge.

The sad part is that some of you that venture out in search of greener pasture keep comparing your new lifestyles to that of the poor in Nigeria. Let's assume that you really stepped up the game, now look back and figure out who should be comparing yourself with.
I have seen unbelievable poverty in Nigeria and US. Poverty is poverty. There is poverty among professionals and non-professionals alike. If by providence you make it, thank God for providing you with the opportunities. It has nothing to do with your invincibility. There are people who make more money than you but live far worse because they lack understanding of money management. So numbers do not mean much.

I am not trying to knock anyone down but each individual has a different definition of success. $10k a month may be big money for some whereas some folks will file for Chapter 7 on such income. Such is life.

OluDare01:
what's your qualification?

TWoods:


Here is the rub though... you're able to watch those shows because there are competent authorities who diligently investigate and solve crimes. How many times do you see dead bodies in Nigeria and no one has a clue what happened? With each point you make, you expose how backward your country is.

CanadianNurse:
You can't even use the word your and you correctly.... Smh
The moniker I was talking to understands what I'm saying and you just came from nowhere to jump inside matter.. Na wa o sometimes I don't blame these embassies for being strict on us people like you who won't mind there business are potential trouble peddlers...please get a life and be useful to ursef and the society at large

#WehdoneSir

CanadianNurse:
in that case you are wrong... You cannot compare yourself with someone else because there are alot of other factors that contribute to "wealth" and not just location rather you should compare yourself with when u were in Nigeria an when u changed location because every other factors remains constant only your location changes that way you can effectively get the merits and demerits of your migration...... Please analyze properly before talking because whatever you say in a public forum influences alot of lives

It goes both ways. What some couldn't achieve in Nigeria, they achieved abroad. Conversely, some couldn't cope abroad, returned to Nigeria and the sky couldn't limit them.
Success could come from Nigeria or across the border. It still boils down to one's definition of success.

There are people who are very comfortable financially in Nigeria that migrating to anywhere else is not an option. There are Nigerians who are too broke overseas that returning to Nigeria is not an option. No matter where you live, the rich and the poor will always be among us be it in Canada, US or Nigeria. There are Nigerians in Canada that are broke as a joke. What happened?

Dude, no disrespect meant..

Are you not a Nigerian?

Why do you keep excluding yourself by saying your country.

Please be a little patriotic. Thanks

I wish there's a way FrankNetter can censor this thread in such a way that u'll need his approval before u can comment, in that way if u wanna write rubbish and derail this thread, he can gut ur a**es. D imps derailing this thread can actually create theirs but won't, coz they've got nothing to offer other than wait for someone else to create theirs and they'll rush to crap on 'em. @FrankNetter, pls continue with wht u're doing, d positive pple here are greater than d negative. U're doing a great job. @TWoods.. Dnt argue with anyone anymore. Leave them to their wits. @progress69.. Pls dnt argue again. Opinion varies, so pls, let it go. We're really enjoying this thread.

@franknetter do well to handle critics in d best mature way it speaks about who u are.

FrankNetter:


I dont see any critics bro, what exaclty are they criticizing? How I should live my life? The beauty of this thread is that I'm anonymous.

The day I decide I've had enough of this banter and stvpidity being showcased on this thread, I'll just delete everything and deactivate my account. Nothing go happen, nobody go slap me.
