Keep deceiving yourself, you went from 60,000 pounds being a huge deal to 100k dollars is chicken change(Baba o, abeg show us the way )....I love Nairalanders, especially chestbeaters

P.S. Go back to beginning of our little back and forth, you would see you were the one that jumped in without comprehending. It would be insane for me to ever suggest the average salary in the UK is 60,000 pounds, you were the one who made up that ish. Th discussion started with middle class, last time I checked a middle class family in the UK makes way more than 20k pounds per year. I'm done now, feel free to argue with yourself!

context is key. i said 60,000 pounds is huge for UK standards. I have lived in the UK and I am familiar with the economic terrain of the whole UK as I had a job that took me all around the country. now outside of the UK ? In a place like nigeria ? 100,000k dollars a year is chicken change in many circles, so I would not go around bragging about earning 100k. that bragging right only works in the UK and USA. out here young boys cash down 500,000 k dollars for bentleys. there are teenagers in magodo that will cash down 600,000 k dollars for rolls royce. so please dont boast about your chicken change the white man gives you in yankee

God bless you. Granted that Nigeria is cursed with evil leaders, but I still don't understand why many people are still relying on a useless national grid for electricity. I use solar system both at home and in the office. I enjoy 24/7 electricity absolutely free!! How can one live in the equator where the sun shines non stop and still pay for electricity?? Even if Nigeria would start producing enough electricity to go round, I still will never connect to national grid again.
I also spend next to nothing on water and rent is relatively cheap too. I mean paying 350k for a three bedroom flat with 3 toilets/bathroom, all tiled and neat. However, Nigeria is still a nightmare in many other areas of life such as terrible roads, insecurity and lack of maintenance on public amenities.
So, in a nutshell, both sides of the divide has its pros and cons but while a few Nigerians can even afford to make this argument, a vast majority of others can't. Therefore, to each his own.

God bless you. Nigerians are Olympic champions when it comes to complaining and making excuses. I always wonder why people - even the rich and wealthy don't go so solar instead of always complaining of NEPA. People are crying that NEPA is giving them estimated billing of up to 30,000 monthly with less that an average of less than 6 hours a day, this is in addition to fuel and generator maintenance costs. Some people are owing their DISCOs up to N500,000. A good solar installation is about N1,000,000, or at least N1,500,000.

Must everyone accept your opinion.

You sound bitter. Maybe American didn't give you Visa

gypsey:

please how's life In Miami like a have been dreaming of visiting miamI ecever since I played GTA vice city but i don't know if the city is really exciting in reiality.

iamboladee:

Okay, Miami is Nice for Vacations and relaxation. miles of sandy beach, Half nakid men and women, beach parties, sex and drugs. Yes, it is as exciting as you would expect.

yeah salford is a shithole. i am familiar with salford in manchester. and 550 a month for a 3 bedroom ? that must be a rundown apartment. the west is overrated.

Yeah. Ryan Giggs and several united and city footballers live in Salford shythole.
Even Machester ghettos like Mosside and Levenshulme have more social amenities and standard infrastructures than your ikoyis in Lagos.

timesup234:
Any Nigerian in America who can't afford to pay $1500 monthly on rent is an animal. He should be locked up in a cage. In short your average monthly rent should be $2,000 without sharing the burden with a roommate before i consider you as part of the living.

You are still making the same mistake and I will try to explain one last time.

It's like saying if you are not paying N500k average monthly rent in Naija then it is not worth it.

You have forgotten that the same 500k that will get you a very standard flat in Agege will not even get you one room self in Ikoyi or ikeja.

In like manner if you live in the main cities of U.S U.K or Canada you are most likely to pay more but that does not reduce your standard of living.

I also made reference to the fact that in U.K for instance, £400 can get you a room in London but the same £400 can get you a whole flat just about 2hours drive away from London but that does not reduce your standard of living.

brah salford is a shithole full of islamic-middle-eastern immigrants who loiter around the streets doing nothing. also full of chav white boys and fat white women pushing their baby in prams

Dude stfu.You are becoming annoying with all this your rant up and down.

Making $100k which is 36 million naira is a huge amount even for the rich in this country.How many rich people make 36 million/annum legitimately in Nigeria.Really hate loud mouthed people like you who may not even have anything

timesup234:
Visa is for fools and brainwashed people. Visa is slavery, nobody should be proud of visa. Visa is a setback, visa is how you destroy your life. Visa should be ban. No single Nigerian went to America and made it, they are all slaves.

You should take it easy bro. Your posts are becoming more of exhibition of compulsive disorder.

A lot of folks here have given tangible contributions as to why/how America is better off, but you dont refute convincingly.

Take it easy, bro.

lmaooo all I am saying is that there is money out here. some people have 40 million dollars buried in their garden because they cant take the money to a bank.

nah but seriouslly i am just trolling now. however I am vehemently on the side of those who believe life in africa is better for black people. like why would you want to be in a country where you are hated because of your skin color ? all because of good road ? i cant do it at this point in my life. i choose africa

have you moved back to nigeria ? when ? this year ?

Yes I have, this year.

Yes I have, this year.

wow. thats amazing. any regrets so far ?

None really. I’ve previously adjusted my expectations so I have no issues.

The only thing that I really miss is unlimited high speed data.

PS: In fact I should have made the move much earlier.

America is not in europe though��

its true. USA is a scam. in fact the whole europe is a scam. one chance

Nigeria:

The place foreigners come in and automatically start earning more than the citizens. In developed countries, you work your way up.

Even as a Nigerian, when traveling to Nigeria you have to prepare like you are being deployed into a war zone.

An average Nigerian (blacks in general) do not like to take responsibilities for anything. That is why you hear
things like "Enugu is in the hands of God" because God forbid any black leader becomes proactive in any
endeavor. They just have to pass the buck. Can anyone name one progressive black nation in the world?
One that is not dependent on free handouts from the West. So much for being better!
Denial is the opium of Africans and educated/indoctrinated/brainwashed morons are not in short supply.

Take a look out how their leaders treat their citizens like animals. It tells a lot more than words can say.

Bros, the tribalism in Nigeria is worst than any racism abroad. The funny thing is that the black man who does not love his fellow black man in his own country will be the one to be disturbing our ears with white man racism. Just peep into nairaland political section and see, the red hot hatred emerging from all tribes there is enough to boil beans.

i can escape tribalism by pretending to be any tribe because we all have the same skin color. i cant escape racism because you cant hide your skin color. so i will pick tribalism over racism anyday

Oh nice...that was a very brave retirement move.

Who no like that kind of retirement. Collect a 1st world passport, make lots of money in a first world country, retire in a cheap country where living on your 1st world pension is equivalent to living like a millionaire..when they catch ordinary malaria, they are on the next flight to their adopted 1st world country .
One of my older uncle just made the move from the UK to Ile-Ife.

Yes....that's the common trend now.

When people move back to Nigeria it's to the quiet cities like Ibadan, Akure and the likes.
