wasiudvd: This is what I have been trying to explain to someone o. Bank/Branch manager indeed! . There is difference between bank/branch manager and full manager. I've seen an ABO manage a small branch and girls were running around him. He was just an ABO, earning approx 350,000/month. He was living a good life by Nigerian standard. If they want to compare, compare a manager in Nigeria to a manager abroad. 2 Likes |

I live in Nigeria doc. My observation was during one of my vacations abroad. They are two different countries, with different standards of living. Nig and the US. Both have their pros and cons. OP is saying earning $2000/month in the US is nothing. Which is true. That's the point he's trying to make. Cos people are quick to convert to naira and brag that they are making it big. Pros of living in the US- The amenities. Social Security. Credit Facility etc. Pros of living in Naija - Affordable Housing and food stuff. No matter how much u earn, with the right budgeting, and 'hold bodi ' ,you can survive. Anybody can become a millionaire tomorrow with hard work and smart work... Etc The Cons? We all know the cons of living in Nigeria and outside Nigeria. It's not a matter of debating, it's just mere fact. The grass is greener where you water it. Kennydoc: 6 Likes 1 Share |

timesup234:Either you have been deny visa several times and trying to console urself or trying to discourage people or u are simply ignorant. I dont know about American but I live in Germany, what u call menia job here in Germany pays at least 1500 euro per month which is about 650,000/700,000 naira which a bank manager can not recieve as salary apart from the side cash they get in their usual corrupt way or from other businesses. There is no reason for comparison but stop being short sighted. Men are doing things. And when next time u want to compare please consider the quality of life between the two countries. Even an unemployed person in germany recieve free monthly money for upkeep from the government that is bigger than what the so called graduates earn there in Nigeria. Instead of creating threads that will awaken ur government u are there displaying Iignorance. Mind u I graduated from a federal university in Nigeria before I decided to leave that God forsaken system of a country. 10 Likes 1 Share |

justwise: Your question implied that there is no where in Nigeria àny body earning 80k can afford a 2 bedroom flat. You may also call my location a village, but it is cosmopolitan in the composition of the population. There are few things you would want to get in a retail store you can't here, boutique, super market, motor spare parts. Discussion about USA was about the whole country and not limited to the mega cities. You are thus wrong to mention those 3 cities. 1 Like |

"as you lay your bed, so you lie on it" life is the same everywhere but currency differs but still the same life. Nigeria lack so many things like good governance, behaviour and attitude of some people are not good at all for example when something like natural occupancies or tragedies happened to people in America/Europe people assists with basic things of life but when it happens in Africa especially Nigeria either village people are the cause or they are just there to loot the victims of their remains. I believe if Nigeria can boost 24hrs of steady power supply every other things will fall in place and no country in this planet earth will be bigger than Nigeria if not at least will be among top 5 in the world. 1 Like |

neoapocalypse: Not just health everything is wrong in Nigeria. In most Westerner European countries the rich and not shop and live within same neighborhood, everybody's children school in the same public school. So the guy with menial job has the same standard of living as compared to a company CEO save that the CEO maybe driving latest car. Where I am resident cleaners have access to loan to buy houses and they have pension contribution, go on yearly holiday like everyone else. So yes in this part of the world a clearer has a better life than a bank manager in Nigeria. In fact a cleaner has a better life that the president of Nigeria. Before you fight this think about this: if Buhari falls on the street of Nigeria I don't think there is any ambulance that will come to his aid and he will be rushed to UK, but if a cleaner falls down in any street in Netherlands ambulance will pick him and he will get the required care before Buhari reached the presidential wing of NAA. So my friend I think that in Nigeria given the level of hardships we have experienced and still experiencing people think that having money in your bank account is all there is to life. 7 Likes |

ernieboy: I believe a lot of pple at aware ..how ever what I snot enforced is assumed not in existence We are discussing on what is operational and not what is supposed to have been. The success of determining property tax largely depends on proper land registration and adequate documentation. These are however the major low-points hindering effective land management in Nigeria. Thanks for your point any way |
