The folks who move to Canada aren't moving because of lack of money. Indeed, some of the people who move have well paid jobs. There's just a sense of despair that a lot of people have in the future of Nigeria. You can have money and die due to medical negligence and no one gets punished. I'm not saying it doesn't happen outside Nigeria but there's a fair chance of restitution. A lot of people say they do it for their kids. Quality healthcare, education, security etc.
The bolded is not correct.
Lack of money is in levels.
Someone might have a good paying job here but it still can't afford him what a person in that social strata should have.
Eg a homebase engineer here might feel tokunbo vehicles are too old for him to drive,wants a brand new.
Can hos salary afford him that?
So in his mind,the chest thing to do is migrate.
So you see,it all boils down to money.
All that quality of life talk is just an alibi they create to make people feel they aren't migrating for money issues whereas they are.
If that quality of life thing was true,that you can just wake up one morning and die because you are in Nigeria,then a lot of rich Nigerians would have been running their businesses from overseas.
After all they can afford the living expenses and the technology is there to mitigate the effect of their absence.

Different strokes for different people. The fish farmer shared his opinion, which he is entitled to and might be different from the opinion of another person.

He is right in his opinion, the other person who does not share his opinion is equally right.

That is why we are all wonderfully and differently made

most Nigerian that migrated dont have better quality of life cos cant imagine moving from a deplux in wuse to a condo of 1000 dollars permonth as my life improving or moving from 34 degree to 0 degree or moving from a brand manager to an uber driver or security man or from eating natural organic Africa food to genetic foods or living according to my income to living on debt of 30 years....

What is the size of your fund?

[/b]About x monthly for now which will likely increase to 2x overtime[b]

Why do you want to invest in Naira denominated investments?

[/b] Firstly, because i plan to return to Nigeria in my 60s and secondly ROI here is little besides i will have to pay about 50percent of any profit i make here as tax and NI unlike in Nigeria.[b]

Why the stock market?

[/b]A means of building a portfolio which pays me dividend when i retire [b]

Do you have any experience investing in the stock market?

[/b]Little experience gotten from reading through nsempa thread. [b]

If yes how long have you been investing in the stock market? [/b]Started buying last year august[[b]/quote]

Thanks for this post. It was last year and last 2 years we had this argument with some people here. There were some “experts” with all sorts of theories here. Where are they now? 460 naira to a dollar later, they are nowhere to be found.

I kept saying insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
You really have sense. Same situation is playing all over again in their face but they keep asking funny questions. Tomorrow they start calculating the value their cash investment has lost.

People having "hope" in a country that the leaders driving the country has completely lost hope in. How does one explain why government would be declaring asset in USD and pounds? People like ganduje receiving bribe in USD? People like Atiku and other politicians sharing USD during campaign etc? These clearly shows these people don't believe so much in our Naira. They keep huge part of their funds in USD.

Nothing wrong with that. All I'm trying to say is that while money is important, it isn't always the sole motivation for migration.

Some speculators have not been able to break even from the losses they suffered about 2 years ago


Speculators who do follow, follow will always get burnt.
The best time to buy is before official devaluation. Anyone who is buying dollars now at N450 is taking uncalculated risk.

With about 15% in devaluation at the official rate, the chance of further adjustment is remote.
What will likely play out is a wide fluctuation in spread between the official and the parallel market rate until CBN is able to accumulate more dollars to meet our fx needs.

There are reports that fpi who want to repatriate the proceeds of their investment are trapped with CBN telling them to wait. That is not good enough for the country.

You know when they lay them off at work with nowhere to go to for another employment and no business skills,they start coming up with all sorts of excuses on how Nigeria is meant to kill them.

If she is not a full staff after 8 years in first bank then it's 100% her fault and not of the bank.

The FBN conversion process from contract to core staff is one of the easiest in the industry.

There's a yearly conversion exam that she has to write and pass. The bank has also given them the grace of writing three times. If she writes the first time and fails, writes the second and third time and still failed, then she only has herself to blame.

Many others are writing and passing the same exam.

It’s ridiculous to say the use of dollar is to defend The Naira. I mean you are justifying wasting over $30b to defend The Naira since 2017? Lol.
Also what is the date of the take of Dangote refinery, I personally believe Dangote refinery will not solve Nigeria FX problems, I want to be proved wrong but I also do not see the refinery beginning operations anytime soon.
