Gerrard59 everybody don dey talk am o. Nigeria of the future is a very scary place to live especially when oil looses it's relevance. There would be multidimensional poverty everywhere damn.

To an average black man (especially a Nigerian), money is everything.

I'm not saying OP should stay or go but all those people talking about investment.... Money is not everything, peace of mind is! Some salary earners abroad have more peace of mind than some so called billionaires in Nigeria.


With your billions as a Nigerian, you'll still drive your car on bad roads. You'll still use generator or inverter to power your home/office. You'll still live in a city with very poor town planning system and architecture. You'll still face SARS/security intimidation.

No matter how much you think you have in this country, your peace of mind is not guaranteed.
Dangote should drop his security and walk on the streets of Lagos or live in ikorodu and see what will become of him
Yes, you can hire a security guard to follow you everywhere you go but to what end?


You need to live in a country where you can be anything you want to be.
You need to live in a country with good town planning system and architecture.
You need to live in a country with stable power, water and other amenities.
You need to live in a country with good infrastructure.
You need to live in a country with some good recreational facilities. All these things help prolonge life.


But in Nigeria.....

You'll apply to study law, they'll give you political science or sociology. You'll apply engineering they'll give you physics, etc.

This country kills dreams. In twenty, twenty five years, all those migrating now will look back and be grateful for their decision to leave Nigeria.

This country bad, asin, e bad. And it will keep getting worse.
But unfortunately, we think once you have money you're ok, which is not true.

Spot on.

Abeg, help us move this to front page. Thanks

you don’t always have to spew your ignorance around, I am talking based on the interactions I have with people, my friends and family members who are also making it big in Nigeria. I understand that it’s not everyone that is made for the stress that comes with making money in Nigeria,but that does not take away the fact that people are making serious money in Nigeria.

Sadly, you're the ignorant one here


The fact that those chinese, Indians are succeeding in the country should make you rethink


Those people you called are killing the country with the help of Nigerians


Trust me you're the ignorant one here bro

You see what I am saying, when you don’t know something keep quiet. I am not talking because I feel like talking, I am saying this because it is what I know, I see it everyday I go out, I have elder ones who talk to me. There is money in Nigeria, keep your eyes down and you will see the opportunities glaring at you in the face. Everyday I go out I see a lot of opportunities that are untapped and these are what this foreigners are seeing. There are also billionaires in Nigeria who made it without having to step an inch outside, it’s all about looking. I wouldn’t want to give you my business ideas if not I would have opened your eyes to somethings. Look at our population, don’t you think it’s an asset. Read about Chinese billionaires and you would understand how they put the high population into good use.

Are things really that bad? Is it not on LinkedIn and Twitter people showcase their achievements?

But those people sef, why dem born pikin since they were remaining in Nigeria?

Please experts and fellows in the house, a friend of mine wants opinion on whether to stay in 9ja with the 8 million he got after his father's death (he's share of his father's gratuity) or to relocate to Canada.


# He's in final year in a Nigerian public University and he's 29 years old.


Please advise is needed.

Stay and invest that money in Nigeria.

BrightCulture:
The Noielts guide to Canada is quite helpful.... If you need it at a reduced price....WhatsApp 090

mumu so why are you in Nigeria. Get a life

"There's money in Nigeria" .. "They're billionaires in Nigeria" bla bla..

Look there's money EVERYWHERE dude not just Nigeria so stop spewing this trash as if it's some grand achievement - the real question is, what does Nigeria as a nation have to show for this amount of "money" that seems to be falling from the sky?
"Billionaires" accumulating billions of useless naira notes in their bank accounts but still suffering the collective poverty of a failed state. A country where basic necessities of life in other nations is luxury here only afforded by the "rich". A country where despite the amount of billions some 1% of the population have access to, they still have to travel to other nations to enjoy basic amenities like good hospitals, schools etc.., they still go give birth abroad to secure a foreign passport for thier children because they know Nigeria has gone to shiiit!

Sit there and be bragging about less than 1% of the population who are sitting on Nigeria's wealth yet have to pay heavily to enjoy the same level of basic comfort that working class and middle class immigrants in a developed nation have access to by default.

Honestly this is what I don't seem to understand. They make it seem as if Nigeria is the only country In the world where one can start and run a successful business. Its much easier to build a successful business in the west or any other developing nation than this shithole. Access to capital, a rich populace that can buy your products and services. Many of them have never ran any business in their lives. I laugh when they make such bogus statements.

Most of the persons saying invest in business crap are still getting stipend from their parents

Exactly my point. They all believe that it is until you travel abroad that’s when you can make it, forgetting that there are also people doing well for themselves in Nigeria.

People have different reasons as to why they want to immigrate to another country. Everything is not all about money.

Petyprincess:
See as dem derailed this thread

It's a normal thing on this section

Team immigrate to advanced countries versus team do business in Nigeria and travel to western countries for vacation

Enough of silly blanket statements like this

Invest in what exactly?
I'm tired of people like this who come on nairaland, talking bogus bullcraap as if investing in some imaginary 'thing' in Nigeria is guaranteed a return in investment. Mention one industry in Nigeria that isn't overrun with nepotism, tribalism and corruption - where you are guaranteed to be successful no matter your age, gender, background, status or who you know.

This is how people will be leading folks astray with false hope.

@OP, Nigeria is a country where nothing works and you will lose that 8million in a heartbeat if you're not careful.

..
It's completely false to say nothing works here..

So far we've not been factual in our arguments o
