I rather stay in my shithole as they call it, am super comfortable with no problems whatsoever. I just find strange how people even enjoy living their whole life in a strange land with yellow people who seem to tax you for every damn thing 9 Likes |

brunofarad:See your mouth like free internet, America is a capitalists economy, every thing is privatized except for those that has to do with security. So owners of broadband internet will share it free right? Who will bear the cost? Internet is far more expensive in America and Europe than in Nigeria. The only difference is they enjoy unlimited broadband access and high data speed. 15 Likes |

The truth is its definetely not the way it seems, its just that most nigerians are embarrased about the idea of coming back the only way to live comfortably abroad is if you are a professional. or you are into the life of crime. I have a friend in texas, he has a pretty ok job, not a professional one, but its still not ok for him because he went abroad with his wife and kid. he opened up to me that he is into crime he gives account to yahoo guys back home here to able their magas send money into it and then he takes a certain percentage and sends the rest, he is aware its a risky venture because one day the law will catch up with him, u cant get away with crime in a civilized society like america for that long, its only a matter of time, they will painstakenly( and quietly) investigate you. he is doing very well at the moment. in a less than a year abroad he is building a personal house in ajah and benin at the same time, also setting up some businesses too, he struggled while he was in nigeria, even with rent..with debts here and there.. he is abroad now doing fine, but not with total peace of mind, but man must survive if you have a friend or relative abroad, if he is not into crime or does not have a professional job, PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT MUCH FROM HIM.it will take some while for him to things right over there, there are so many bills to pay and you cant avoid it there unlike in nigeria, you pay for virtually everything u enjoy abroad, some other guys are living off old white women there too, taking so many bull shits until they get their papers, it is well 12 Likes |

You pple like discouraging pple, but that can neva afffect someone like me cos i've already made up my mind to leave this shithole. you claim its not easy to buy a phone of your choice over there but here we keep buying their london and uk used phone. imagine skipping a day meals over here not becos youre lazy but you lack an opportunity of getting a job, you even get the job you get many months of unpaid salary. In my perspective I think everyone is entitled to his or her own's opinion. 11 Likes |

xynerise:That's true. As someone who has seen both sides of the grass, if you are not well connected in Nigeria and are not earning above 750k a month, my advice would be if you get the opportunity to leave legally, do it. Leave to a good country not Malaysia or Indonesia and the likes. |
