FrankNetter:So go ahead and show me a single RN with $200,000 in 401k or $50,000 in cash. I deal with facts bro, not assumption. Even Doctors dont have $200,000 saved when they still have that huge $300,000 medical school loans to tackle. |

thebosstrevor:Yes, America is huge and we know there are 50 states but when a Nigerian in American is sending letter to the Nigerian Consulate in New York (With all their own financial problems ) then you know that the person has even bigger issues and I'm inclined to believe that those asking you for help in America are not people with work authorization in the US. Why beg in a country where 24 out of 25 employables are employed?? A country with huge programs for assistance of low-income earners including food stamps, section 8 housing schemes, etc?? You simply have no clue dude. Like it or not, you may focus on what tickles your fancy but again Nigerians in America are well-known for taking advantage of the opportunities in America LEGALLY. Go to the schools/colleges, go to the tech boot camps, request for list of licensed professionals (Medicine, Pharmacy, Engineering, IT, Nursing, Law, Architecture, Academics) across the United States, spot the numerous Nigerian names and come back here to tell me that they are doing illegal stuff. 9 Likes |

Iblad0994:Bro i have been avoiding what most people including you have been saying. Show me where i compare Nigeria to America in terms of standard of living? It was when the debate got heated that i had to put some people in their position. If you live in America you will understand what i am saying here. Every single Nigerian doing odd jobs to survive, soon as they get their first paycheck they start shouting they are richer than bankers in Nigeria...please check your salary estimate, no way you make 1400usd and get 1300usd after tax |

timesup234: It also depends on what you're into in the US. From investment banking to ebay, to amazon, to google, to drop shipping, to auctions, to real estate short term buying and selling, to street hustling, opportunities are much.

thebosstrevor:Employment and investment are two different things I am not defending America for argument sake and it is not because I hate my beloved homeland Nigeria - I want Nigeria to work and that's why I have a responsibility to address the misrepresentations here so we know what could be for Nigeria. We can also get there but not by lying about our comparative quality of life with other countries. |
Re: Lies Of Nigerians Living In America by Nobody: 2:30pm On Oct 29, 2017 |
timesup234: Yeah I’m living in America but I’m a master’s student here . So I know what I’m talking about. It doesn’t matter if the tax range is lower I’m working on estimate and the error Value can be just +-$50.. WHat I’m saying here is that if you’re here legally and you have the authorization to work . Then, that’s the least you can earn, I know what I’m saying and you can never compare someone here with even a normal bank worker in Nigeria. what you said about Nigerians here shouting about being rich than bankers in Nigeria is a thing of the brain , it’s individual view of seeing life and it’s always attached to ego. But in the real sense they are actually richer than the bank workers in Nigeria because that’s the fact. Remember the value I quoted for you is the least you can earn here if you have the authorization to work |

The truth is, you can't compare life in United States to life in Nigeria, its never comparable my brothers and sisters. America is a blessed nation, courtesy of good and visionary leaders who have the country at heart unlike Nigeria where leaders are crooks out to loot the nation dry for their personal gain, and that is why every Nigerian youth must join hands and let's build Nigeria to our dream nation. How can we achieve this Youths need to take over leadership in Nigeria and chart a new course for Nigeria. Currently we have began the journey to changing the status quo, check out the huge number of Nigerian youths ready and those that have volunteered to lead the Youth Political Revolution in Nigeria here>>>https://www.nairaland.com/4131364/nigerian-youth-revolution-party-nyrp |

thebosstrevor:When things don't add up, you should first question your own understanding of the issue Ok, let me break it down: 1. My cousin's girlfriend moved to the US and got a degree in Nursing (BSN) and then got a job. 2. My cousin was based in Nigeria and joined her in the US about 4 years later. 3. His girlfriend's assistance helped him settle down pretty fast and was fully on his feet within 6 months. Sometimes the issue is not with what people say but with 'our own interpretation of what they said'. 2 Likes |

supersystemsnig:Sometimes Nigerians amaze me , when I first got here a lot of companies came to my school searching for who to employ and they are big companies . You don’t need to compare USA to naija , they are two different world for God sake. I’m not saying every Nigerian here are made men but at least majority of people living here legally with certificate are big boys. Yes ICT guys and nursing professionals are making a lot of money here in USA . If you have a degree in any ICT field and have your papers , you’re a big boy and you can never be compared to even a bank manager in Nigeria because you’ll earn far far more than the bank manager is earning 2 Likes |

Can you survive on such a salary if you live and work in Ikoyi? Yet Ikoyi can't compare to most American cities in terms of infrastructure and social amenities. |

Iblad0994: Even ICT guys in Nigeria can rake in $10,000 Monthly and $120k Per year if the work is done right, doesn't require being in USA, it's having the knowledge and knowing what do to, the opportunities online are not well harvested by Nigerians. I'm ashamed seeing Indians everywhere and Nigerians are busy submitting CV, walking upandan when there are chances to rake in cash 3 Likes |
