youngestland: I won't bother with the rest. You are typing ideas not facts. Based on the above, you don't give anyone anything. Don't purchase gifts. Don't buy Asoebi. No family member asks you for favor. You don't buy clothes. Nothing you have needs fixing. LOL. The one that brought me here is the 400k to 3k dollars. Hahahahaha. People who earn $1k a month live better than People who earn 500k in Nigeria. You are asking for breakdown yet people stay in 3-bedroom apartments in Oshodi for 500k a year and they had to pay 200k as agency fee. You need to see the ramshackle that is going for 500k in Nigeria. In Lekki phase 1, people rent out their boy's quarters (studio flat more like) for 1M naira. Just look for a $400 per month apartment in Missouri and see what will turn up. Remember the 1M per year rent BQ is for a so-called big boy in Nigeria and yet he cannot build houses and rent out things to tenants. But on NL, people are starting empires with 100k. LOL 8 Likes |

youngestland: This level of ignorance is something else, if you have a Tokunbo car, I dont care the grade and you save 5K in month one, you cant beat your chest that an expense of 10k will not show up in month 2, that is assuming we are holging the exchange rate between the 2 months constant in our beloved Nigeria where dollar affects the price of gala and plantain chips in Traffic, if not then all that your calculation may never balance for a whole year |

youngestland: There are so many things you are oblivious of that is why I told you to employ restraint in making these grandiose statements you keep making. Just the same way you have Ikoyi, Lekki and Maitama, that is the same way you have Florida, Newyork and California. So telling me to justify the worth of a $3k a month earner in California is disingenuous. California and Newyork are 2 of the most expensive places to live in. If you want to make a solid case for your argument, find out what the low, middle (upper and lower) and upper class earners in the US earn in general then juxtapose it with those in Nigeria. I can give you an example. The people who earn $3k a month or $36k a year are regarded as lower class earners in the US. Those in the $50k range are middle and those above $140k are the comfy bunch. Now armed with this information compare the lower class earners in Nigeria to those in the US and see how asinine your argument sounds. The $1000 per month apartment in NY (studio flat) is where low class earners live in but in Nigeria, the Lekki big boys who can afford N1M a year for a BQ stay in the same quality of apartment and still have to provide themselves electricity and other utilities that are readily available in NY. You said with 400k you can stay in Ikoyi but that is a lie. Liveable apartments in Ikoyi (not BQs) go for N3M+ a year. I have not added the service requirements or transport/car compulsory expenses. I have not added the need for steadypower that will cost him more than 300k in a month (if he wants to squeeze 12hrs a day of power). He has not added the cost of his daily living and contingencies. On the flip side, an AVERAGE (I mean bang average) earner in Canada or US will stay in the same quality of the Ikoyi apartment above simply because he is partaking in a better economy. I mean, the minimum wage in Canada is $11CAD an hr and even an international student can work 20hrs a week during school session and more on holidays. Working with the 20hrs a week such a person can earn over $200CAD a week or $800CAD a month. He can live somewhere where he pays $500CAD and go to websites detailing apartments at that price range, they will measure up with what people pay 1M for in Lekki and Ikoyi. Can you see what I am doing? I am showing you how minimum wage earners enjoy the same quality of life as Lekki big boys. Tell me, which Banker with less than 10 years experience can afford such luxury let alone a minimum wage earner (19k per month in Nigeria)? LOL 7 Likes 1 Share |

Y'all are funny. No matter how much you insult and defend either country, no matter the different permutations and scenarios y'all put up, people that wanna travel will travel and ppl that will stay will do just that. All these my friend bought 12 G wagons in one hour, my friend built 5 houses on top of each other, all that ain't you. People will make decisions based on their situation. Logically, if you have it good here, why travel and if you got nothing, why stay, right? Yea but ppl will still do what's best for them. Some ppl can't stand naija, some ppl can't stay away. Whatever floats your boat. Some ppl insulting Abroad prolly haven't had a realistic legit opportunity to move permanently and ppl insulting naija prolly don't have anything worthwhile doing here. To each his own my people. If I stay, no need for insults and if I relocate, there's really no need for insults cos it really ain't nobody's business. The 400k dude has a brain and he'll make the decision that will be favourable for himself and his family. For all we know, dude fit don even dey Canada dey wear winter jackets n sh*t.

Pidgin2: You don't know anything about Canada. Your ignorant statements shows that. Go and sit down. You've never lived/worked here full time. Because you had a visiting visa probably years back, spent a few weeks abroad max, and now you're an expert ? Now you're also an expert on America and UK. Do you know how diverse these 3 countries are ? Do you even know how different Canada and US is, despite being the two most similar countries in the world ? So you were born/bread in naija and have never lived abroad. Yet somehow you're an expert on Canada,US, and UK ? I use a desktop for work, and high speed internet is a norm here not a luxury. With a relaxed work day I can be here frequently. Besides wetin concern you ? I also don't rarely respond. I only go out of my way to respond to you. You're an enemy of progress who knows nothing about the west. People come here for sound advice/personal experience about abroad, hence the title of the thread. So if I can give me personal experience on Canada/Nigeria, which I've lived and worked, while having citizenship of both countries, what's the matter ? Again explain to me what makes you qualified to even give this individual advice ? I will challenge your alternative facts, and false sense of reality when I choose too. 6 Likes |

You live in paradise yet somehow you can't do without crawling up and down Nigerian forums trying to feed your ego and validate your decision to move permanently.

You are the one painting eldorado about Nigeria which is not the case. You say someone got a contract of N200M in Nigeria but a Nigerian who went to Loyola Jesuit and Princeton also got start-up capital of $1M in the US. So what are you on about? Another Nigerian who had a first class degree from UNN was frustrated out of the job market till he aced the GRE and went to MIT on a full ride.

The issue with people like madam Pidgin is that anything that is not flattering to Nigeria, even if it is the truth or reality, equates to hatred or an attack on Nigeria in their books. That is the binary outlook people like that take and so they willfully blind themselves to any objective analysis of the country. The result is that by taking this position they inadvertently highlight they very shortcomings they want to cover up and so we end with the comedy of delusion that is this thread. . . . and it is my job to call out all this for my wicked enjoyment 2 Likes |

I had to call my folks in yankee to get more insight to this like someone said on this thread una don see us finish well to you thank you I am lucky infact my name is lucky I repeat again and again tell me a company in nigeria that pays entry level 400k a month and doesnt have one or more hospitals attached to the staff I promise you I will make so much money from that company if you cant name any company please I am done well me iam happy in nigeria I have made things work for me 3 Likes 1 Share |

youngestland:This is a thread people took too personal, at the end of the day its a personal opinion, aside from that, there is not much to compare. The key too your happiness is that you have made things work for you in Nigeria and you are contended. its wrong to compare a low level worker abroad to a professional in Nigeria , thou in pay they might be equal. But if someone is making 400K per month in Nigeria the question is how much are you really worth and how much can you make abroad? If you are a Banker in Nigeria and you go abroad to be a Gateman , then the people from the village are involved. But if you are a guru in software development earning 400K in Nigeria and with your skills u can work for an IT firm and earn 8K dollars monthly before tax , then may be you should consider it. Lots of people in Nigeria doing great things and making a lot of money, same thing abroad lots of 25 year olds earning over 100k Dollars per year But in summary based on logistics abi statistics Nigeria as less opportunities , infrastructure, quality of life than a developed country even the President runs to UK every time for medical check up 3 Likes |

Fusion23:Firstly I like your reply this is maturity unlike those that will comw and abuse my life The guy in nigeria and the gate man may earn the same salary when you change the dollar to naira but the gateman doesnt stay in nigeria his expenses will be way higher than the professional the nigeria guy will be able to save 2.4million a year in nigeria with that money he can live for 1 year but convert that money to dollar it bcomes 6k that money will not be enough for him for two months...... the gateman will not be able to even save a dime I think many people dont know this before they leave for the states they are carried away with the conversion till they get there Sir 400k every month in nigeria is not small money sir thats someone salary in a year in nigeria and the person still gets by, but 400k in yankee is 1000 dollars is very small money unless you work in usa and lives in nigeria then I can say you are on point which is not possibe I agree opportunity is low in nigeria standard of living is low is low too there are no infrastructure sef but I believe if you have the means to create a good life for yourself I believe its better you stay back thank you 1 Like |

Fusion23: I have noticed you are patient and I envy you. Someone takes the plight of illegal immigrants who cannot get decent jobs and are in tough cities like Cali and Newyork (which makes them squat and jam themselves together to make ends meet) and proffers it as a reason he is happy with his decision. He compares himself to them and uses it to ill-advice someone else but is offended when the reality of his braggadocio is unveiled to him. Who has advised any banker to leave Nigeria to work at McDonalds in the US? In the same breath, will I prevent someone working for Goldman sachs in the US from coming back to naija to serve as a Minister? That is why context matters. My friend who works at Amazon now was with Consolidated Breweries before she left Nigeria. Except she won some type of lottery or was opportune to steal alot of money, there was nothing in Nigeria and on her path, that would have shown that by 2017, she would not only drive a Mercedes in the US and live in Silicon valley, but that she would also be able to purchase a property in Nigeria worth N25M. Doubt me, look for people working in Heineken/Nigerian Breweries since 2012 and find out how many mansions, buildings under tenancy and cars they now drive. It is only on NL where people get all those things with 100k P/M yet auditors working for KPMG have not figured it out even when they are supersmart and earn about the same P/M.
