Nor dey show yourself here,nah people wey never reach Airport like you nah you fit impress, not old school like us!when I leave 9ja you dey sec or pry school still!

Lol. Okay sir. Kindly remain there and stop discouraging those ones who are here trying to make ends meet. Its comments like yours that push people to Libya. Irrespective of what you make, Nigerians still make it.

9jaDoc:


So who will remain? In short 9ja is finished.

We have an abundance of human resources to stay back and develop the country.

It is well bro. I like your loyalty to the country. If only our leaders cared

Are people this dumb? How come not a single poster here knows Americans are suffering more than Nigerians? 75% of Americans will die completely broke and in debt. If Americans were asked to advance 6 months rent over 280 million of them will sleep on the street and if their paycheck is delayed for one week then 65% of them will sleep inside the gutter. Americans that cant boast of 400usd in an emergency you dumb idiots are trying to compare to Nigerians where an average serious worker can save up 500k easily. The journey of Nigerians to America have been one of complete failure, not a single one have made it genuinely. 85% of Americans dont even have 30kusd in cash. Everyone here sound dumb

I would advise you, don't waste your time with the likes of him and the other lout shouting all over the place like white on rice. You can pretty much judge intelligence from a conversation and I can already tell trying to have a honest and decent conversation with this one is a futile effort.
It's 2017 and someone is asking who are you in Nigeria? And we wonder why Nigeria is a failed state...smh.
If you can't have the mentality that you can be anything against all odds...i don't even know where to begin from.
Judging from his comments here..this is the point where he will start engaging you and trying to get you to declare your worth, while he's missing the simple concept that success is not always monetary, but always about how much fulfilment you get from an endeavour. If you earn 50k naira a month and you help teach young kids to believe in themselves as they are going to be leaders tommorow , i will take yours as a success story. Life all about IMPACT , you either get it or dont, but again don't blame him, na champagne generation dey trouble am.

mrphysics:

You are making mistake bro. I hardly tell people that I work because I believe in the street and I have been a street hustler. I am working and my salary is good. Lol, atleast above 100k. But the point is, I am a freelancer and I have always been. I stopped blaming the government when I read on fiverr forum how the problem of the world seems to be the same and only the lazy ones keep blaming and depending on the government.

We sell caterpillar parts and we have the ones we hire for road construction, so I have been dirty monitoring projects etc and I can tell you that I have joined in making transactions outside Nigeria. Most of the caterpillar parts we sell are imported and I know what it means to trade in dollar and that of Naira.

On fiverr, people hardly sell as a Nigerian but I do and I make sales more than most Nigerian-US sellers. The other day in fiverr forum, someone came claiming that Nigerians are scammers, I spoke up and the thread was deleted.

Everyday, US citizens seek for a way to earn money on Amazon, only few Nigerians do that. The business section is one of the sections of nairaland with less visitors, you see most of them in politics and romance section.

Bro, if you believe Nigeria is a hard place, it will be for you and if you are waiting for 2019, then you will be heart broken

mrphysics:

I understand bro. I am still starting and if you go to my facebook, LinkedIn, and Whatsapp, I have those I help to get started.

But you can't make them lose hope with our posts. We must first believe in ourselves. Those staying outside should know that there is no car in US that is not in Nigeria. People are building good homes here and yes, people make it here.

Tell that guy, he seems to lack knowledge

To be sincere the hell hole is only in your mind. You created your own hell, the OP is not in your category, you should be asking him for anticipated employment to help your situation. This is how to save yourself from your misery

Dayuummmmm

TheAlchemist:


Only the strong can survive. ... you mean Only the Corrupt can survive.... The problem is really our leaders, i always laugh when i see someone that scammed me on a deal, preaching to youths on various platform and widely televised, on how to make it the right way... Sadly Nigerians believe all the media propaganda.

Lol. I once stopped going to church cos someone who scammed me of money I paid him to bring in a car from America for my client, would climb the altar every Sunday to pray on the offering collected for the church service for the day. I couldn't bear seeing this crook preach or pray every time I went to church. At the end of the day, I had to quit going to that church. A lot of people do not have conscience in this country.

You village people don de play drum for you abi??
Issorite

In Abuja, buying a building costs close to 100milion. And you have only 9mil .

I laugh in Chinese

Op, indeed your village people are invoking your spirit.

Nigeria is messed up. And that's fact!

And if you are relocating to Lagos or any city in Nigeria, if your family or friends knows you have such money on you. Trust me your life is not safe.

That same day, you land nija. Expect armed robbers who will waste your life and collect everything. So even if your heart and soul is pushing you to come, don't tell a soul.
Visit, look around, make your findings yourself and don't tell a soul u are coming back to relocate.

It's a jungle here.

Think!

it was like you knew my thoughts when you wrote this..my body is here in Nigeria but my soul and spirit are out .its not getting better, I must say.. I'm really pained on the unborn children of this country... I must leave this hell hole no matter what.. legally and not illegal as Libya desert route

I have never seen "hell hole" mentioned so many times in one thread!! OP take a hint.

Nicely said,,, but sadly things hardly work that way, before you know it the fuel station might be ear marked for demolition, because the lawyer did not ensure that the proper C/O of was obtained, hope you get my drift, or that the road network has to expanded, no problem the person who invested all his money in developing the petrol station, might wait forever to get government compensation... things hardly work the way it should, in this Country.

No one can convince a Pessimist!

Greetings my fellow Nigerians. I'm facing the prospect of coming back to Nigeria after 8 years in the USA. I finished my post-graduate degree and I'm coming back with a Bsc, MBA and 2 years of work experience in the telecoms industry. I want to know from my people back home, how is the general national feeling, how they enjoy their lifestyle/quality of life and the hard-truths of what I'll be facing coming back as I've been so far removed from the national consciousness because I've been in the USA for almost a decade. I feel passion about my country and people but I need to know what too expect. So my people are you happy with life back home?

I was just like you some 5 or 6 years ago. When you breath the American for some few months, it Americanizes your brain and you forget Nigeria realities. You will be thinking, these are good concepts for Nigeria, I can introduce this, my technical know-how will be useful.

You BERRA stay. Everyone one of us ran back. One of us said I am only going back to the US for two weeks and it has been 5 years now. FYI, these are connected folks. Naija system will frustrate you.

erico2k2:

That guy is funny, deff one that lives with thier parents,if a man earns N100k in Nigeria per month then he is in poverty accoding to inflation index of Nigeria, some pot of soup cost up to N15k and will last three days if yu got a wife and two kids, N15k x4 is N60k, so u gt N40k left, transport school fess and other foods and house rent means you are out of pocket, unless you reduce your stabdard of living to the point that the poverty is easily seen!

What type of pot of soup will cost N15K and last for three days after being consumed by a family of 4 You must be a foreigner, na your type they come back, lose all your money to conmen. Instead of you to ask questions, you want to claim to know Nigeria more than us who live here

Are you fvcking kidding me? Me, a champagne generation poster? I will let that slide. Now to my question of who are you in Nigeria. I apologise as i didnt mean it to gauge your monetary worth or standing in Nigeria. I only sought to understand where you were coming from when you adviced the youths to saty back and build the country. It is beyond cavil now that millions have lost hope and there is no going back given the attitude of our leaders. We cannot generate the adequate amount of energy to power our industries in 2017. Where do we start from/ Millions of Nigerian youths can no longer wait for these gerontocrats we have in power to deliver the goods. Its time we went out and explore what the west has to offer us for the sake of our offspring. Once again, i am sorry if my comment hit a raw nerve. I never meant to insult you. Cheers.

You can make money in Libya amidst fears and high probability of dying. Does it worth it?

At the end, the most important thing is peace of mind and fulfillment. Even till tomorrow, people will keep chasing money, yet, happiness rate keeps decreasing.

If your comments seeks to make people leave Nigeria, so be it, kindly make sure you help about 10 Nigerians leave Nigeria every year. If you are just commenting and doing nothing, then you are achieving nothing.

Nigerians are too big and not until you understand that we can not all leave here, you keep arguing. If you make heaven and earth and you are happy, thats the best. If I make peanut and satisfied, then that's the best. If we all leave, who will welcome you home?

Kindly save people while you can not all this pessimistic comments sir

babaskool:


Yes 30k dollars is just about 10 million naira
And yes 30k can build a petrol station
I have statistics in documentary form to back these facts up.
Nevertheless by my statistics here is a summary of how much it costs to build a petrol station in Nigeria
1.Empty Land ( 1plot is idea but 2 plots is preferable -budget -500k -900k

2. Service station ( this is the building in the middle of every petrol station where the attendants stay or dispense other items except petrol from or where the managers office is located.. It is commonly a rectangular shaped building the size of 2 rooms. Mud blocks can be used to save cost and cheap corrugated roof can be used in it's construction since it building itself is almost useless as it doesn't in real sense bring any income for the petrol station when in operation. Budget 1.5 million to 2 million ( foundation 400k, construction to lintel 300k, roofing and plastering 1.2milion naira )

3. Underground tank - this is the actual most important part of a petrol station so it's advisable to build this first before constructing the service station ...price varies but most popular version is in form of a septic tank which almost everyone has in thier homes just that the plastering would be different to accommodate the petroleum products to be kept In them....budget 800k to 1.5 million naira

4. Fuel pumps/dispensers - for some very crazy reasons fuel pumps and dispensers cost a fortune even though it's a pump and an electronic meter to measure the quantity of liquid being dispensed is in all of them.... Fuel dispensers are expensive so budget 1 million for each unit ... The minimum you need is 2 units, on average you might need 3 fuel dispensers ....so budget 3 million

5. Shield for the fuel dispenser...this is made to provide shelter and illumination for the fuel pumps. They can be made from anything so far it does the job ...budget 200k

6.misclleanoues expenses which include the cost of applying for license to lift petroleum from Nnpc depots (if you have ur own tanker if not you can simply enter an agreement with someone that has ) and other operating costs -1 million naira

Total costs
1.empty land- 500k
2.service station- 1.5 million
3.fuel dispensers - 3 million
4.fuel shield/shelter-200k
5.operating and misclleanoues costs -1million

So total less than 6 million naira so in an effort to answer your question not only would 10 million build a petrol station in Nigeria, it can even build 2 petrol stations and make back the 10 million in less than 2 months of opening

Your sincerely
Akinola eluyefa esq

it pays to be objective, you could have asked my how o ne can make money in Libya and who are teh ones making money.
Bravo you are very patriotic, ahah, I laugh, ask yourself, who amongst your leaders take thier vacation in NIgeria and who among the whol governors have thier kids in 9ja UNI, even your president run come my backyard come treat his ears.I stated B4, it pays to face reality not being undone under false illusion of thinking you want to build the Nation.The people who made china great today did not live in china, they lived abroad and exported technology back.Tell me one mechanism we deviced in today 9ja that works that was not imported?

What costs $5 in US will cost less than $1 in Nigeria. Things are quite cheaper over here yet he thinks its hell. When they go there and earn everything, yet people who are here are competing quite better than majority of them.

I get you bro but these are problems that can be avoided by getting a sound lawyer who knows what he is doing like how can any lawyer who passed through law school get it wrong with a C of O. I always advise clients budiling houses or whatever to always leave some space for expansion of roads, canals and bridges no matter what so these problems can actually be solved.

Besides the government are the best categories of persons to sue in a court of law COs they have many properties here and there so of they fail to compensate you for demolishing ur property, be assured u sound lawyer would know what to do

Coming back would be a one way trip. I don’t yet have permanent resident status.

That's the more reason you should start building the base right now. Folks that are hustlers without papers push everything they earn back home to establish a base. As someone who travels to Nigeria quiet often, I am telling you to scratch the thought out of your mind. It will take you 4x what it will take a Nigerian living in Nigeria to survive. Paying rent is never a problem; renewing the rent is the problem.
At the barest minimum, build a house in your city of choice even if it is a 1-bedroom bungalow.

Who is this person for God sake? Where do you want to buy land for 500k to build the filling station? Lagos, Abuja or Ijebu-Igbo? 10m naira will build a petrol station in Lagos and petrol stations are being bought for as much as 100m naira plus? Please get your facts right and don't mislead people.

Lol, are we here for lectures. We all know what life is in Libya. How many of Nigerians have the opportunity of living well in Libya. I know that Libyan currency is very close to the dollar, hence the rush.

The guy that buys caterpillar and ship it from US realized that those he left here in Nigeria are heating it better than him and he started making plans to come back. Home is home bro.

Give me the flight money to US and I will double it in Nigerian within a month. People are making it here and we must encourage our youths to start small.
