What you don't know about our leaders children abroad is that they don't even work there. Their future is not tied to the United States. Come back 20yrs and find them as boss in all the big companies in Nigeria. You really think they will choose America over Nigeria? They are just there for the short term comfort. Even Americans who are millionaires are renouncing their citizenship and going to Europe and other places. You think America is beans? http://money.cnn.com/2016/02/08/news/americans-citizenship-renunciation/index.html https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2017/06/12/more-americans-renounce-citizenship-new-list-released/#5b0957146fe9 gnykelly: 2 Likes |

Chascop: Thank you for the mention bro The Op of this thread has no idea how much you can make doing menial jobs here. I do menial jobs currently(check my thread about adjusting status). I posted my last 2 weeks paycheck on my thread plus how much i make at my other job. In a week, i make at least 800USD. Multiply 800USD by 4, that is at least 3200USD in a month. Now convert that to Naira. ![]() ![]() ![]() Like i always say, NA WHO COME YANKEE KNOW WETIN DEY 44 Likes 2 Shares |

Young man go and read. 62% of Americans are one paycheck away from living on the street. I am tired of repeating myself. They don't even have $500 after bills. The difference between me and you guys is that I bring links from Forbes, Fortune etc but you can show me a single link where it is said that Americans have $10,000 https://www.forbes.com/sites/maggiemcgrath/2016/01/06/63-of-americans-dont-have-enough-savings-to-cover-a-500-emergency/#264bbf2c4e0d http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-americans-with-no-emergency-savings-0108-biz-20160107-story.html bujebudanu1: 2 Likes |

Many ignorant people talking nonsense,they haven't even travel abroad before,life as a menial worker in the west/america is hard as hell compare to life as a menial worker in Nigeria,at least in Nigeria people have empathy to give you things if you are broke also i prefer to be a BAnk manger in naija than a menial worker in the west/america,but if i have opportunity to be a bank manger of a mid size or large bank in the west/america then i am a rare breed because,i will have access and exposure to many opportunities than the average citizen and be better off than a bank Ceo in Nigeria but to be frank this is very hard to do. Also dont get me wrong,A bank manger in nigeria has access to many opportunities in Africa especailly in the banking sector/economy. Menial jobs in the west/europe is just pure savage,taxi drivers,waiters, dish washers,people that give advert on street,window cleaner and many others, (you know your self ![]() let me not start with those that think they can do taxi jobs,you need a special licence,taxi jobs are competitive except you want to carry only Nigerians which is also competitive even uber in europe/america,you have to have a car that suits there requirement,life of a taxi driver in europe/america is just pure nonsense,i also prefer to be a uber driver in nigeria than in ameria/west. for those working savage jobs ,taxi drivers and the rest converting to naija currency anytime they pay you,i guess it is inferiority complex/failure and because you have settled for less,so the best way to console your self is to convert and think you are better off than nigerians living in nigeria. Naija can be tough,no rule of law,constant electricity or water but life in naija is easy,in europe,you might have free medical care everything free but you pay for them with your tax,once you stop paying tax,all those amenities are closed to you.in american it even worst,nothing is free in america, And for those that think relocating or giving birth to their in america will provide your children a better life in the future,you will be disappointed to be welcome to the student loans /mortgage association after been in mortgage/studnt loan debt which you also have to be qualified to get one,you will then ask yourself in the future,does it worth it, then wake up to the reality that all your life has been in debt which will passed from generation to generation. frankly speaking,i prefer giving birth to my children in europe,at least i will have access to free stuff like education and medical care even if poor ![]() for quality of life which you have to pay for such as electricity,internet etc and as a professional,europe/america might be better but for real cash and future big and fat bank account without debt Nigeria is better. I still prefer to be a menial worker,a bank manger in Nigeria than in Europe/America 13 Likes 2 Shares |

The problem with you people is that everything in life is about money, showing off and all the likes I remember going into labour at 25weeks and the doctors said there was no hope. I watched my baby take her last breathe and because the facilities were not there to keep her going. Then I read on @jppaige Instagramm,how her Baby Juliana was delivered at 25weeks. She is A yr old today. This cannot happen in Nigeria. Tell me why anyone will not relocate from this country. Op is busy comparing nonsense. Go to schools, we are still teaching 1+1 while children are learning coding and robotics in primary schools. Someone will now wake up to compare..smh If I dash you visa no go 29 Likes |

hahahahahah....The biggest liar of 2017!! You guys will make me drop dead! Do you know what it means to save $1million after working 40 yrs in America? Business men money you won convert give americans? Most of our politicians who once lived in america didn't make it there, most that have houses in ikoyi who once lived in america didn't make it there as well. They got connected back home soon as a friend or relative finds himself in the seat of power. Then of course those igbo boys who go to china for importation business. Guy no single yankee money for those places you mentioned unless those into big time fraud. bujebudanu1: 4 Likes 1 Share |

Ashmark:It's not possible to rent 2 bedroom flat in most area in lagos. Except you want to live in places like ikorodu, ayobo and other far and less developed area. So, if you live in these areas make sure your place of work is closeby. If not, transport ll eat up your salary. 80k is nothing in present day nigeria.... |

timesup234: A trillion times easier to make it in Nigeria than America? Again really? Very funny I used to say exactly the same thing. When all my friends were leaving I decided to stay back saying thinking "Na this country I go make am" trying to build a small business. Initially it was looking like I made the right decision but 5, 7, 10 years down the line its obvious they made a better decision. Unstable Government policy, tribalism and the rest is making Nigeria a frustrating place to be. I took a fantastic product to the Northern part of Nigeria, I've been there for the past 2months, they like the product but just because am young and not Hausa they are reluctant to sign up. One told me to my face "So you wan make I fay small fikin like you N1,000,000.00 wetin I go take am do". I feel like packing up and leaving the country. Make all of us dey talk say America no easy dey hustle am there. When my brother in law that left about 8 years ago told he will spend about N9 million to get his document I told him if na me i go gather the money come start business in Nigeria. Today nko his wife and kids have gone there to join him. When I saw the video of the free public school his kids are attending how they eat free good food in the school's restaurant, the schools transport system, how they are taught. I couldn't help but shed tears. I pray my daughter does not tell me " daddy where were you when all our aunties and uncles were taking our cousins to America?" I don do their passport for my kids and wife. Next year Gods willing they must leave this country. If na true say e no be better place make dem go find out. I've never been there, but comparing what those I know that went had achieved and what I have achieved, America is a place to be. It takes time to make it and start leaving the American dream but its totally worth it. 24 Likes 2 Shares |
