Why not ask them how they do it since you are interested, you need a big touchlight at times

Ca4real:


This one no follow. If na your mama send her money oh. Don't tell her stories.

Queenslander:
Oga tell them to return home if living abroad isn't good for them.. As long as they're abroad, we will continue to call them..

Which country are you in

emkz:


I know and I know some who ran away from Europe despite having good jobs because they were paying too much taxes. I am educating people on the end game for those who go abroad without a plan, and they are in the majority. Fault that if you please.

Amalekki:

Tax is a stupid excuse to leave a society that works. This has been analyzed several times on nairaland. Tax is one of the major reasons behind those subtle & obvious differences between Nigeria & the developed world. Don't live abroad with a Nigerian mindset - integrate properly when you get there & stop recreating your own Sapele, Oshogbo or Abakaliki in those countries.

Indians, Pakistanis, Lebanese, Russians, Chinese etc are collectively running a chunk of the economy of wherever they go but stupid Naijaman is a lone ranger with perpetual immigrant mindset. We never integrate & we are surrounded by empty barrels who can't see beyond their stomach. Everybody is decidedly self centered the way we are at home and it's always "I better pass my neighbor" and always looking for shortcuts. Story long abeg!

MrBrownJay1:


sadly, i partly blame Nigerians for this begging nonsense, because the ones abroad wont tell them how much they are suffering, instead they will pretend that all is well and that life is great, while working 3 jobs and crawling in debt. many will buy their 1st car/house and will be flaunting it on social media, without telling people that....after repaying the mortgage and the car note at the end of the month, that person can barely survive.

there is only ONE WAY the people back home will understand how tough life in the west can be (for some), and thats by GETTING TO THE WEST THEMSELVES!

emkz:
This is why I explained that many who came without a plan are facing challenges but some want me to talk about doctors, IT engineers, pharmacists, nurses and teachers. Let them speak for themselves and tell us they do not face challenges. Let them tell us they are not paying mortgage, car loans and saving for their children's college. I really think those abroad should be honest with folks back home about their challenges, it is not rosy for everyone at some point.

MrBrownJay1:


thats because you actually CARE what these people think, while you shouldnt (especially if you are barely making ends meet).

to many people back home, since the dollar/Euro/Pound is around 500Nairas therefore if you are earning 1K abroad then you are rich. they will quickly calculate that $1k is about 500k nairas monthly, so they think you will have more than enough to help them....not understanding that with $1k, you can barely live in the west... and most impórtantly, they dont care whether "you" can pay your rent or not!

next time they call, tell them to call you next month!

Godtemi:


Very funny
You still don't know someone who is heading a multinational company or working in a big oil company.
If you don't know those people, I know them.
Nigerian with only negative example.

chinchum:
This pretty sums it up, anyone earning $1,000/month abroad is close to being homeless and may start living on the street , but Nigerians bring out calculator and convert to Naira. A nigerian earning $1,000 in Nigeria is relatively a big boy or girl

Don't let people deceive you with their cry cry life, there is no country in Europe or even some Asia that Nigeria is better than when it comes to working and getting paid and availability of jobs to do.


Some lazy people complain that US is not rosy, they are just lazy and not ready to work.

Developed countries like US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, Netherlands, Norway, South Korea, Japan, Ireland, etc are not meant for lazy people who hate to work but love to party and live luxury life.


If you are hardworking and ready to work you can never be broke or complain when living on the aforementioned countries unlike Nigeria where lazy criminals with corrupt opportunities end up the richest while honest hardworking people end up poorest.



Abroad reward hardwork.


The only people that face some challenges abroad are those without legal papers to work legally or move around freely, but still they are far better than majority of Nigerian graduates roaming the streets without job and those working and earning peanut that cannot acquire them a decent car or a decent house to live.



So don't listen to most Nigerians abroad complaining, most of them are lazy, some have committed a lot of crime that spoilt their records so they cannot get legal job except they do crime or engage in illegal business deals

ekwerendi:



50k pounds? He must be very generous...

hustla:



Until you experience sars and health issues...then you'll know most people don't move for the money
They just want something that works

Nnemuka:
Those ones In Europe dey suffer pass Nigerians living in Nigeria especially UK based Naija

How much does he even make a year after tax that he can afford to send 50k pounds to Nigeria in just one year?

paulolee:

yup, same with me too...dts roughly 26m, he said his bro got married, mom had a surgery and his kid bro is currently doing his masters and all bills are on him....i no go follow who i de beg moni argue naa..

HeavenlyHolines:
I understand u. When I was in Niger, my salary was 24k-25k as a teacher. It wasn't funny then

GeneralMarshall:


See, you are misleading people. If you never lived abroad, then shut up. Your post is wrong.

ekwerendi:



50k pounds? He must be very generous...

ZINIBANKS:

How much are you now lol
You go don become boss nah

MyAmericandream:
I think it was a typographical error. He wanted to type 5k. Don't you know 50k is somebody's annual salary in the UK.

emkz:


Why don't you tell us the challenges the Nigerians heading multinational companies or working in big oil companies faced before they made their breakthrough? Ajimobi, who eventually headed National (Shell) Oil Company, told us he was a mortician's assistant in the US; Mike Adenuga, who is one of the richest men in Nigeria, drove cabs to send himself to school; Dele Giwa's friend drove taxi and sold ice cream in Baltimore; even many rake snow just to eat. Those people you claim to know had their rough times and that is what you should interrogate, not fly into Nairaland and make it s :Deem as if they didn't struggle at some point.

I know you know many but can you mention one CEO of these big multinational companies who had no challenges at all and became a CEO, who did not do menial jobs to make ends meet at some point?
