No one is being narrow minded, one should be simply realistic. There is huge stigma and stereotype of Nigerians being fraudulent abroad.

The mistake folks make is whipping out their calculators to punch in numbers using the exchange rate. Consider this, a rent for 1-2 bdr in a decent area per month is about $1400. That is about N500k that you can use to rent a 1-2bdr flat per year in a decent place in Nigeria.

Do you know the meaning of dynasty?!! Means generational wealth, the money is long!!! Do you think corruption just started? Some made their money from corrupt political connections since the first republic! The very FEW that made it legally made it at the time when Nigeria was still a stable country in the 50s/ 60s.

If you can’t be a millionaire in the US @ 47 you DEFINITELY can not be one in Nigeria. There is nothing in that country for young smart people. That’s why our doctors never come back ( some Nigerian doctors here are millionaires in dollars) see that Nigerian doctor that was played by Will Smith that discovered CTE with his thick Igbo accent he has earned respect of his peers and become successful in his field.

Thank you, I'm asking him to name popular Nigerian millionaires in America. He makes sound so easy, if it was that easy then should be many of them here.

Thanks!

Canada is a top choice but I only have issues with the extreme climate/weather. However I am studying widely just to see if some provinces can be better than others in this regard.


The healthcare advantage is a major plus for me.

The free education too is very good. The environment is quite friendly and the air is so clean and oure it is unimaginable.

My problem is whether I can cope with a menial job at my age. T is likely that I will be nudging 50 when we decide to leave. That is no longer young. It is entry level Agbalagba.

I named one Kase Lukman. Why are you lazy? Go and google you will see some names. Also, most millionaires don’t flaunt their wealth! Especially the ones that worked for it not yahoo yahoo boys. They stay classy in their wealth.

is 47 young? any smart individual can make it anywhere with the right mindset. Who starts a generational wealth? someone does Thomas Edison the founder of General Electric is a human being that did not have a history of wealth, same with the chase family, the Rockefeller, although bill and Mark are Havard dropouts, they have wealth that will spur generations to come just by coming innovative with their solutions to problems. Who are the parents of Shola of paystack? I am not sure I know them but those guys in paystack are a motivation for many today. If you cannot be a millionaire in Nigeria at 47, you can't be one in the US. A lizard cannot be a crocodile in the US. you obviously have a lazy mind. did the Nigerian doctor you mentioned school in Nigeria? just like you guys started claiming the robotics engineer like the knowledge was from Nigeria.

ASPIREX:
The big question is;

Should I relocate the entire family .....or should I relocate wife and kids only while I remain here and continue the hustle?

eldee365:

Canada, Sir.
Ability to get citizenship easily, good environment overall.
Free education for your kids,Healthcare too etc

Yes Nigerians are know for scams, there is even a scam named after Nigeria. HOWEVER, Nigerians are known more for being educated, hardworking and successful immigrants. A report just came out where Nigerians are the most educated people in the US, more than whites and Asians. They are also the most successful immigrants.

ASPIREX:


Thanks Laird. I could start with some not so odd job just as a sacrifice and to use the time to study the busines environment. I am sure that I should be able to invest in some business within one year of being there. I also intend to keep my business running here and hope to visit at least every quarter

Even if I could afford it I really wouldnt subscribe to going back to university to learn in order to get a job. My wife had been interested in healthcare especially nursing. She would say yes at the slightest opportunity.

Your last statement is quite pregnant and most attractive. Its a viable option. Only snag being that I love seeing my kids everyday. At least let me have my fill of them while I can. Staying withput seeing them for long periods will be quite the torment.

lonelydora:


But high cost of living. US is cheaper but difficult to get citizenship

lonelydora:


You won't get citizenship if you do the bolded. You need to stay 10 years or so in Canada without travelling

Actually most Nigerian billionaires emigrated, they have homes abroad that they spend more time in than Nigeria!
Dangote and Otedola are not in Nigeria 60% of the time!

Timi1990:


Bros it’s very risky to raise a child in the USA I no go lie you . The best is give birth to them here , when they are teenagers you can move them to naija make dem suffer small & get sense , then after secondary school move them to USA back . Most kids here fall out of track in High school, and what your child will become in future will always been known when he or she is in high school

planetx:
If you want to be a Dangote Nigeria is where you need to be, forget about being a Dangote in any white man country. They barely want you there talkless of empowering you to a Dangote level.

Not necessarily. You can become a dollar millionaire in US just by going to school, getting a high-paying job, and saving enough. Not possible in Nigeria. Likewise u can become a millionaire in Nigeria by hustling and cutting corners - not likely in US because sooner or later you'd get caught and pay dearly.

ottizz:


You are absolutely right.

My wife and I made this decision to bring each of our kids back to Nigeria after their middle school, after we noticed the deteriorating behavior and academics in our first child.

This same child now attend a top 10 liberal arts college in the US (2nd year), while her middle school friends are barely cutting it in community colleges or became dropouts. And yes, she did take SSCE and applied from Nigeria, but as a US citizen.

Entitlement mentality and peer influence are damaging kids' future in the US.

Women with their shallow thought process sha...

This topic is beyond your comprehension abeg

chris51:
My dear. The question is, do you have residence permit to emigrate? If not, my advice is, stay where you are. Continue hustling and go on holidays abroad.

The worst thing that will happen to a person is to live abroad illegally.

You will be doing hide and seek, looking for someone to get paper from, to work with. What of medical?

With what you and your wife are earning, you are better off than going to suffer with your family.
If you can emigrate legally abroad, fine.
I wish you the best of luck

She needs at least 1 year to get settled anywhere they go. Yep. Did you just say that as soon as she lands, she will start earning once she hits the ground? The job is waiting for her at the airport. SMH. What will be her immigration status (the most important)? What have you been drinking? I wish it is that easy.

Let's assume he pulls N4m. That's about Canadian $14,000 . This is not even enough to cover rent for a year.

Please, people provide numbers to support your claims. Again, names jobs that allow you to become millionaire. Also google the average saving account in America. For example, if you want to name medical doctor. Google the average student loan debt the that the medical doctor acquires to study in the United States. Then google the average income for a new resident doctor and his potential earning when he/she finishes residency.
