thebosstrevor:you mean Canada is trying to stop illegal immigrants from Nigeria, claiming asylum? how does that mean they are trying to stop Nigerians from migration ?. have you heard of Canadian express entry? Nigeria ranks second to china, among immigrants to Canada. i guess you should try it out. Nigerians are still migrating in droves 2 Likes |

rs172: you think development come in one year. Development is a process. I am doing my best and i am not planing to run anywhere, i went abroad to observe the way they do things. In nigeria we dont have lot of stuff. This country is a gold mine 1 Like |

thebosstrevor: At least I stated mine. List what works let's go from there. Excuses? Poor healthcare is an excuse? Maternal mortality is an excuse? Misdiagnosis is an excuse? I'm waiting for your list of what works. In any sector or state. Let's see what you mean by excuses. |

[quote author=Babyvet post=73749184][/quote] I was referring to surviving on a job , you are referring to building a house in lekki Please we are not on the same page Overtime is necessary to earn more That is not a secret 1 Like |

thebosstrevor: A very big liar, people need to think before they post here, some are very ignorant Nigerians. I have looked at houses in that Lekki and they require a large amount money that a housekeeper in the us can not afford. Unlike here , back home does not really have mortgages and even if they do they’re loan duration is short compared to here. Even those earning six figures would not be able to afford it. 2 Likes |
Re: Why Do Nigerians Think That They Can Only Make It Abroad? by Babyvet: 2:01pm On Dec 11, 2018 |
sats: You are wrong , overtime is not necessary depending your wages and standard of living. I earn more than that guy , so overtime is not a NECESSAITY. Maybe for that guy it is. In life you want to work smarter, that’s why in the US , the Asians have way more finiancial success than us even though we are more educated. |

thebosstrevor: https://www.nigeriapropertycentre.com/for-sale/houses/semi-detached-duplexes/lagos/lekki/chevy-view-estate/337745-4-bedroom-semi-detached-duplex This on the lower price end for lekki houses, 65 million Naira which equals to about $179,101.82. Now I wonder how long it would take someone earning between $10 - $15 per hour, is going to save that up and still pay all their monthly bills. |

softandmoist: misdiagnosis is a world wide problem even gani was misdiagnosed in the US. YOU can get good healthcare if you want in nigeria. Nigeria has its problems which is created by its eitizens. Systems are run by humans and these humans in nigeria will destroy the system and run abroad for refuge. |

opebiboy: According to his thread, he started sometime in November but I don't think the op is being realistic with himself. He wants to save $120,000 by November 2020 and he earns about $16 per hour base pay. |

Babyvet: just imagine. Infact, 179,000 is the pension of many americans working in white collar jobs that is after 35 years working. |
Re: Why Do Nigerians Think That They Can Only Make It Abroad? by Babyvet: 2:35pm On Dec 11, 2018 |
thebosstrevor: Those are the lucky ones self that worked for a good company. For others, they still have to work even in their later years.For my generation and downwards, we better save up for ourself because pensions are few and scarce theses days. I do feel that people back home retire much earlier than here in the U.S. |

thebosstrevor: Since development is not in a year, how many transformer have you provided for towns in Nigeria, how many towns have you provided good water to, how many roads have constructed and commissioned in Nigeria, how many laws have you enacted in Nigeria, how many Schools have you built for the upcoming Nigerian Generations, atleast too you should be having a well equiped hospital too that our politicians visit n our woman too. I believe if u have these i wrote, Nigerians should follow the pace. 1 Like |

opebiboy: He says he works as a security guards, works over time and sometimes get bonuses as well. But regardless, he is still very unrealistic. I do believe in saving money but one has been to be realistic and one can only save what they earn. |

thebosstrevor: Good healthcare where? Can you all afford Reddington and St. Nicholas? Why is the owner of Lagoon hospital always in Massachusetts for treatments? Didn't he buy equipments for his hospital in Bourdillon? You're not even making this thing interesting. Just bring one example of something that works, Oga. Name one thing that works. One. |

thebosstrevor: So why should all Nigerians provide this when they elected their leaders? What is the usefulness of a government when they can't provide the basic things of life to their citizens? If you find answer to that, then you know why Nigerians believe in Abroad.. So comparing this sh!t hole nation to a nation that have it citizens at heart and provide a better environment for their citizen to develop. |
