KaLuCh:Only those who don't have health insurance can live on $1,000. It is impossible. Even feeding will eventually top $200, your shared rent $400, transport, phone, internet, auto insurance etc.. all you see in your account is ACH withdrawal. Most times you are overdrawn. Sorry..impossible 2 Likes |

Wa gbayi my broda,tell that person and let him know the truth.there is future in america than nigeria.u can ask whst ikeja electricity are doing for people's transformer now,they are deloading people's light from transformer cos they want to use force to collect money for old bills of light we didn't use expecially their crazy bills of light we didn't use.anyway its' well with my country.quote author=NONNYG post=61866197]OP , I totally understand that there's no place like home. But the way you make your point doesn't worth it, yes most of these guys in America do menial jobs yet they have built duplexes and has many Landed properties in Nigeria, this is called investment wise. Oh, you think they spend all their money in the states? Again I never saw where you mentioned social amenities like constant power supply, good road, health facilities, water etc. At least they pay tax and enjoy what the money is being used for. Please don't be biased in your judgement. Thanks[/quote] 3 Likes |

MsNas:/ Even if it does, so what? Some people erroneously believe that mansions and money in the bank are all life is all about. Most of the ones doing menial jobs and struggling are under the shackles of family responsibilities in Nigeria. The ones who turned their backs to Nigeria are doing much better. There is a massive unemployment and underemployment (for the lucky ones) in Nigeria. The bank managers in Nigeria and other wealthy folks are doing well and love life in Nigeria which is why they make sure their children are born outside of Nigeria. The OP wrote as an outsider. She is not a bank manager neither does she live in US. So she chose to take a blind stab at two lifestyles she has never lived. / 23 Likes |

The OP is the biggest joke himself. Please how many Nigerians attain the level of branch managers. As a young Nigerian you better off in US than in nigeria earning 100-150k. This OP dey vex me you want 140million Nigerians to wait for branch managers position. Even the rich send their kids to go hustle for Yankee. Case study my sister in law that is yet to start work in France had a miscarriage, hospital fees taken care of by insurance( best facilities) her son was taken care of by social workers for 2weeks that she was admitted, they took the boy to school(also free) and bring him to the children care centre everyday. so tell me can you have this in Nigeria even if you are rich. 36 Likes 2 Shares |

darlenese:they enjoy all the bills been paid for, do u know how much u will spend running ur generator for a whole full month? In Nigeria u provide everything ursef d fact remains they value life in America compared to any African countries.. Imagine in Nigeria if thr is an emergency they won't treat u until u pay deposit but in America they will treat u first discharge u and sent ur bill to ur address now that's life value, in every room thr is alarm incase of fire incident u don't have to call dem before they will come, if u r frying dodo and the whole kitchen is covered with smoke before u know it fire service department r already in ur apartment.. Now that's good life.. It goes on and on.. U will pay but u will see what u r paying for, look at what happened in Florida a whole city was wiped off with flood and within three weeks everything was back to normal noting like refugee camp.. 31 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Lies Of Nigerians Living In America by bigtt76(f): 9:36am On Oct 29, 2017 |
OP is comparing living in US and living in Nigeria. These are two different scenarios. Nigerians living and earning in Nigeria can manage what the earn here and live comfortably. Likewise those in the US. When it comes to investments, it may be easy for the Nigerians living in Nigeria to save and build houses but it is even easier for those living and working in US to save for such investments in Nigeria if they live a frugal life (which of course is the same as those in Nigeria). BTW not all bank managers in Nigeria earn that much. You may be lucky as Bank manager to earn that if you've been a successful bank manager for years. I still give it to the Nigerian hustlers in US, they can earn more if they hustle harder. 9 Likes |
