youngestland: I called whoever made a decision based on the assumptions above a fool and if the shoe fit you, then you should wear it. You said we should peg the dollar at N200? Why not N1 as that is what it was in the late 80s? Do you see how stoopid your assumption sounds? If you do not know what value the $ will be to the N then any sensible person will do what they call an extrapolation. They would not sit down with their tecno phone and conjure up rubbish figures just to score cheap points. What kind of house will he buy with $120k? Go to google and do some research. His $120k house will be better than what people pay N75M for in Lekki phase 1. Apart from that, he would have the liberty of paying for that house through mortgage which will provide him more resource-space to do more things with his money. Did you look at the link you posted up there? What is the average salary for a nurse? See, I don't want to sound harsh but you are leaving me no options. You have built your own house and have one for tenants. Where? In Iyanoba? Mushin? Ajegunle? Mowé? Berger? Those are the only places you would have done that and that is as good as a Frog thinking it is a wild animal. In other words, you are deceiving yourself that you are rolling high. You are just scrubbing a bucket- no offense. But if your argument is that you are hushpupi or any other yahoo boy then you have a point. If you swindle some maga over in the US or Canada and get some foreign exchange you can build something, rent out and then tell people you saved for it while you where in your parent's house. People tell those confabulations even today. You changed cars on 400k a month, Saving 300k out of it per month which totalled up to 18M and you built houses and made other expenses? Did you also turn water to wine, raise the dead and feed 5000 men (excluding women and children)? Mr. YoungestLand, I would not be surprised if you claimed you did all these as well because anything is possible on the internet when you are lying. 6 Likes |

Eruditor:Poverty is a state of deprivation, lacking the usual or socially acceptable amount of money or material possessions.[1] The most common measure of poverty in the U.S. is the "poverty threshold" set by the U.S. government. This measure recognizes poverty as a lack of those goods and services commonly taken for granted by members of mainstream society.[2] The official threshold is adjusted for inflation using the consumer price index. Most Americans will spend at least one year below the poverty line at some point between ages 25 and 75.[3] Poverty rates are persistently higher in rural and inner city parts of the country as compared to suburban areas.[4][5] In 2015, 13.5% (43.1 million) Americans lived in poverty.[6] Starting in the 1930s, relative poverty rates have consistently exceeded those of other wealthy nations.[7] The lowest poverty rates are found in New Hampshire, Vermont, Minnesota and Nebraska, which have between 8.7% and 9.1% of their population living in poverty.[8] In 2009 the number of people who were in poverty was approaching 1960s levels that led to the national War on Poverty.[9] In 2011 extreme poverty in the United States, meaning households living on less than $2 per day before government benefits, was double 1996 levels at 1.5 million households, including 2.8 million children.[10] In 2012 the percentage of seniors living in poverty was 14% while 18% of children were.[11] The addition of Social Security benefits contributed more to reduce poverty than any other factor.[12] 3 Likes |

Babaelemu: hmmm you have a good point, but please do you live abroad ? the way you talk like you are so sure its not just black and white, I think the most important thing is planning its sad for a bank manager in Nigeria to come abroad and work as a customer care that is downgrading, But if you making 400K monthly in Nigeria and you are good , you might make like 3m naira here per month before tax, so my advise is on the most important point you made , certainty or uncertainty so the person can plan very well and do a research on his chances, but what is certain is also quality of life for his children thou abroad is not roses at all. We keep deceiving ourselves in Nigeria, I know quite a few people in this guys shoes that will end up spending over 10K dollars to give birth to a child in the USA just cause of the uncertainty of Nigeria. And am just shell shocked. I dont even regret making the move thou am much younger and a lot of people i met older than this guy worked in bank for 7 years say the same 2 Likes |

Alikote: What is the population of US? Over 400M compared to 43M poor people. That is 11 or 12%. In Nigeria, more than 90% of the population live on under 2$/day. That is more than 160M people living way below the poverty line. If you don't want to make a decision then don't. But stop posting poorly researched articles to back up your decision. |

youngestland: You are just bloviating. A medical doctor in the US bought 2 plots of land in Royal Garden Estate in Ajah for 40M a plot in 2013. Today that same plot goes for 55M up. He is one of 4 Medical doctors I know from the US who purchased property from that same estate. How many Nigerian Doctors can afford it? A friend of mine went to Uni of California Davies for her MBA. This was in 2012. By 2014 she was done and got a job with Amazon in the US. She lives in Silicon Valley and earns $120k+ a year. Last year she acquired a 4-bedroom condo close to Igbuefon (Lekki Phase 1 axis) for over 25M and she has rented it out. LOL. She is working on a property over in the US which she plans to rent out too and she would do this later in the year. You have property? You earn 400k? LOL. Stop talking like a child. I can deluge this thread with stories of people I know over in US and Canada who came back and purchased properties that they have rented out and guess what? Most of them are borderline average in the US but seem to be giants in Nigeria because of the exchange rate. Keep seeing life from one viewpoint and be arguing like you have it figured out. People who earn 1.5M a month in Shell and Total are still trying to relocate to Canada and someone earning 800k in 2021 thinks he is a big boy. It will shock him. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Abroad/ USA/ UK/ Canada is good if you have a good stable job. The advantage Lagos/ Nigeria has is lower rents. Abroad has too much financial pressure - high rent, high taxes. But these do not affect high earners much... |

That's true but let me assume that person is not a citizen yet but a temporary resident using work permit. There is a criteria and requirement for these set of people against citizens before giving credit to them according to their credit bureau terms and condition there so this particular person might be earning 10k p/m there will have to calculate and minus other maintenances like tax, rent, transport, feeding, utility, know the number of dependant before concluding if you qualify and additional they will review your work contract, how long you have had your bank account, check your credit history, how long you have been in the country. So someone who migrated for studies and then got a job of 10k p/m immediately upon graduation and 2 years later could qualify for 120k loan or was able to save 24 million naira sounds like a MIRACLE / FAIRYTALE stories. (That means in the space of 5 years she was able to sort out immigration issues, get a 10k job and have a very good credit score to qualify for such loan/credit) very astonishing. Fusion23: |

Pidgin2: Your perception of reality is distorted and comical. Your alternative facts or accounts of reality is troublesome. You'd fair well in Trump's admin. The average Nigerian isn't doing nothing. Only people doing something there are the few successful business men or corrupted politrickians. In reality the average Nigerian spends all day thinking of ways to leave. I know I did and things were better back then. It has come to such a desperate situation that Nigerian asylum seekers are more than any nationality in Canada, one of the tops in America,Uk,etc. Why aren't these people staying back to build/buy all those house you claim they're doing ? Why come to oyibo obodo to "suffer" even shamelessly claiming asylum oppose to staying in the great Nigeria ? http://globalnews.ca/news/3420057/nigerian-turkish-nationals-led-asylum-claims-in-early-2017/?utm_source=GlobalToronto&utm_medium=Facebook The state of the country has deteriorated so much that even medical doctors, bankers, and young students are electing to kill themselves than live in such a jaga jaga country. Can you blame them ? What job prospects does a graduate have now ? Bankers/doctors get paid like crap compared to here. Is it even a worthy professional anymore ? A bank manager can't even repay his loan ? lol. I hear say your "president" don go UK for another medical check up. Imagine a president doesn't trust trained doctors in his own country which he runs.Even Buhari would say "Pidgin-nwanyi stop the madness" if he read all your pro naija posts. In August last year, a manager with a commercial bank, Olisa Nwokobi, shot himself in Lagos. It was revealed that the 44-year-old bank manager and graduate of Abia State University, Uturu, killed himself because he was under pressure from his bank over loan repayment. https://guardian.ng/saturday-magazine/worrisome-rising-cases-of-suicide-in-nigeria/ 2 Likes |

She had h1b visa for how long before being granted green card? Remember that person traveled 2012 on student visa I assumed. Got a job in 2014 her employer filed for h1b she got it so tell me when did she acquired green card. Because you must have had h1b for 6 years before applying for green card (permanent resident) so if she got her hb1 in 2014 she could only qualify for green card after 6 years by (2020).
