Chelseafan1: You keep shifting the goalpost. Reasonable and hard working people don't need to leave Nigeria to make it. Many are proving that daily. You don't need my permission to mount a defense for your position. 3 Likes |

EgunMogaji: While some people count 100k per month as making it, others will count 1m per month salary as making it. Your definition of making it might be different from mine. That's my point. 14 Likes |

Chelseafan1: As it should be. Living within ones means and still saving for rainy is a prudent definition of making it. No one is required to live on Banana Island or drive a Maybach in order to feel that they've made it. 11 Likes |

austino677: If I can make 500k per month in Ife, Osun state right now. I would not even consider relocating to the USA so far I can always go there for vacation with my family. But ryt now, my monthly salary is only a little above 120k monthly. 1 Like |

Chelseafan1: Exactly. My point here is to offer support for those that do not see traveling out as their only salvation. Opportunities abound in Nigeria. 6 Likes |

Am not one of the degenerated, hapless and luckless Nigerian. Am working with a multinational company, my monthly take home is over 1M. February this year I was granted B1B2 visa, that only cost me 54k. During the interview, I was only asked two questions. If am married and where am working. The name of the company settled it all. Am going for 2weeks vacation. Am doing pretty well here. EgunMogaji: 12 Likes |

atuagbo: But seriously why do people write 'am not one....' instead of 'I'm not one....' Have not seen it, instead of 'I've not seen it..' is this how you write where you get paid over 1million per month? 33 Likes 3 Shares |

seyema: Those that are making it big in Nigeria do not collect a paycheck from others, anyone that still collect a paycheck is really not that successful. Figure out what you like to do, what your passions are and try to find funding to nurture it. When I come home I keep my eye out for opportunities that I can invest in during my retirement, my Brother they abound. 11 Likes 2 Shares |
