I can never marry an APC er even if she has an American port. God forbid.

I go marry if she gets America port oh

lastkingsman:


I go marry if she gets America port oh

I won't if I was married and I even discovered my wife voted APC. That's the end of that marriage. There's no good person that s APC. K rather marry a super fat obese American lady that cant walk than an APC er with an American port that is pretty

If you have japad,congratulations, but can you pls stop bashing the country and advertising your adopted country.
The pull effect has made many families run into debt,and some marriages ending because they are chasing eldorado.
Leave people alone to find their peace no matter the location. This is our home and running away will never change that. Nigeria's DNA is in you if you like relocate to the moon or Uranus.
If everybody ran from where you are running to who would have made it a sane society?
People like me will stay and make Nigeria better.
Money is not everything.

GOD bless you bro.
You summed it all up.
Nothing more to add.

Will you want your children to suffer same fate as you?

No hard question.

The country is not working abi no wan wait till you pay ransom.

I've always fancy living in a French country (carefree living) but I can't seem to like the language.

The glory days are long gone with no end in sight.

Get out now why you can.

Uganda na where I dey now living like the next messiah.

How did you run Uganda package? Is it peaceful there? Is security okay? How much do I need for a 6months stay pending when I get work?

Rukevwe999:

OK perhaps I was generalising. To talk about Nigeria sometimes you have to be specific about what part of Nigeria you're referring to, eg North, west or South. But in our modern age culture spreads, and by culture I don't mean the ones ed on to us by ancestors, I mean certain environments, social norms and values that make up these cultures. Sometimes to understand a culture we have to understand the mindset and values of the society practicing it. There are certain trends and way of behavior and mindset you'll see among different citizens of the country, and some of them are not good.
For example we have a materialistic culture, our societies have a damn obsession for money and prestige. We are so easy to bribe and emotionally sway with money. In the south we love enjoyment, sex and splendor, this desire combined with poverty triggers our endless love for money. Even our love for God is connected to money and materialism. I've observed that in societies where piety and simple living is not recognized, money becomes a god, and thus poverty prevails, and corruption thrives where there is poverty. Haven't you ever wondered why in poor environments songs about money and sex sells well?

Make sense

IbeOkehie:


I know oil & gas engineers paid in dollars who have migrated away from Nigeria.

I know high level officers of foreign oil & gas companies who reached retirement age on their job...at director level...and chose to live out their retirement in UK and USA.

If you add regular workers in the industry who were making a comfortable naira salary the number is huge. I know one person in this class that SHOCKED me recently by leaving Nigeria.

Nigeria is not a nice place to live. Nigerian culture is just bad.

The infrastructure is sub-par.

The weather is hot and humid.

Mass poverty has made the populace generally ignorant, nasty, desperate and cruel. Most Nigerians only see other people as targets for fraud, nothing else.

Positives for a rich dollar earner are cheap and easy sex, availability of cheap servant labour and worship from the mass of poor people who pretend to respect the rich.

Many have weighed the options and made the choice to migrate. Where they don't migrate they send their children abroad. And most ultra high net worth Nigerians you THINK live in Nigeria actually live abroad and commute into Nigeria. This I know for a fact. Europe is a 6 hour flight away, North America 12 hours. Some of these people spend enough time in NY to qualify as residents for tax purposes.

Nigeria is a hostile environment in which only a sadist can be comfortable.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

Interesting

The funny thing is that the elite class do not even need two ports.

They have diplomatic ports
That in itself carry weight
And we both know that even after leaving office; most do not return it

There are over 220m people in Nigeria. Everyone cant japa. Which country will absorb them all Nothing strange there.

Most cannot leave and have no plan to leave sef

And were these issues happening before he became president or it happened after he became president?

Secondly, he printed new naira note, how did that cause any inflation or you're just looking for something to hang on?

Are you saying these are the reasons spaghetti went from ₦180 during his time to ₦950 under Tinubu within 9 months?

He has a British port and is close to traditional rulers cum political elites in the Lekki area. That is the sweet spot for most Nigerian men - run a business in Nigeria while having a second port. Nnamdi Kanu has a British port, Sunday Igboho has German and Sowore has American.

kushe:
I just imagine myself spending the rest of my life on a beautiful farm settlement in Plateau state.
No killer herdsmen,no bandits, beautiful greenery all around,nice weather and a host of farm hands that have a job cos I chose to invest in their state. i will rather Jos or Calabar than anywhere in the world.

Funnily enough, I had the same thoughts as I found Plateau a nice place to stay and own a big farm. But when there are marauding Fulani herdsmen wrecking havoc on people's lives and their investments, I borrowed sense.

Good luck with your dreams, tho.

Baba here no be where to hustle oo I'd had lots of $$$ before coming here.

Make dollars I've shared how I made my money with four threads here on nairaland.

If you go hard with it you too can make it and decide to leave anywhere in the world.

Full time income in the US is $4000 I make more than that every month.

Put in the work nobody makes money with excuses.

You've got to kill excuses to make money.

But the majority of wealthy Nigerians live in Nigeria. It is actually a standard thing to do - the wealthy set of people reside in their dominant society. The purchase of second citizenship is to ease movements and offer a second option considering Nigeria's fractured state. I want to bet many wealthy Namibians don't bother buying a second citizenship. Money gives options, so wealthy people will opt for greater options.

They do, because only here can they enjoy the trappings of flaunting their ill-gotten wealth. In Nigeria, they are a king who can order drivers and police around and cry "do you know who I am"? In America, they'd be just the next-door neighbor.

ednut1:

Since the early days of Naija, people have always JAPA...and then return after they make it. It is only in this Gen Zs generation that it seems they are the first set of people to JAPA....And since Nigerians have been JApA-ing, 20M have not JAPA, other wise we should have like 100M remaining today to cater for.

Oga TWoods,

The majority of a country's wealthy WOULD always be in their dominant society. The wealthiest Singaporeans, South Africans, British, Japanese, Koreans, Russians, Chinese, Emiratis etc., all reside in their countries. It is logical and simple mathematics. Why would/should the majority of Nigeria's wealthiest reside outside Nigeria - where there are more Nigerians than elsewhere?

pansophist:


When people say there is enjoyment in nigeria, it's about the communality, food, being the default, lack of civic responsibilitiee, and "freedom in chaos" such as hook up, bribery, abusing others ( eg sales girl, house boy) etc

Apart from these, I don't know exactly how Nigeria is fun. If one have adapted to their new home, it's far better fun than what's obtainable in naija

How can you enjoy a place with no light, dirty beaches that's not free, no free museum, architecture, library, etc?

And a preventable situation such as bad roads, dumb police officers and bad medical care can kill you in an instant?

Also, your money can only go far in a functioning society. It takes me about 20euros to fly from Amsterdam to the Spanish islands in Africa (Gran Canaria) , but can same amount take you from Lagos to Abuja by flight?

If I dump you in the desert with a million usd suitcase, your money becomee useless, just because the desert can't convert your cash to value.

It's the same thing with being wealthy in Nigeria. Hopefully the drugs you bought for headache is not fake. Imagine paying for your death.

So no, there is no enjoyment in a dysfunctional system. Just that human natures will adapt to bad situations and create fun in it. Just as the kids in the ghetto are having fun, but it's not good life.

You're right.
Help me relocate. I'm an academia, teaching in a university. I'm just tired. Lack the finances to go about it.

If I have the finances I won't even hesitate to leave Nigeria and never return. I had one opportunity but I'm scared the guy is a gay. I don't want someone to force me into gay because he assisted me.

Alphamentips:


No be comfort zone matter. Na 10 to 20 meter matter

Don't mind him he thinks it's free to japa

It's a question

Answer it.

Because I know that during the printing saga, old notes weren't even in circulation and we had scarcity. Except your definition of inflation is different, I'm waiting.

I'm already too old to japa

LagBlogger:


This is still your opinion.

Some people relocated from abroad to settle down in Nigeria because they prefer Nigeria.

There are Nigerians with dual citizenship who only travel out on holidays

are there Rich Americans, Canadians, Australians that has Nigerian port as backup? The answer is NO

Do we have Rich Nigerians including our past, present and even future president having those countries port as backup? The answer is YES

Think twice

You don't know the implications of printing excess money in Nigeria? Are you a graduate?

you mean someone wants to bring you over? Which country? How do you know he's a gay?

Another one enter road without watching.

Was there excess cash then?

If there was, why were people selling naira?

Think well before responding this time around.

And you're the graduate?

Backpedal:

Yeah. Nigeria is a good place to live for EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE....people with extraordinary resources such as political connection, exceptional work ethics or talents, rapacious greed or sadistic instincts. These are the only kind of people that can overcome the exploitative barriers put in place by the feudal-socialist system of Nigeria.

If you're a Nigerian of average means, average background and average talents, your best place to live is the Anglo-West. The generally free market system will recognize and put you exactly where you belong on the spectrum. Because the free market system tends to lift ALL boats, the average person will also rise with it.

Not all great wealth in Nigeria is ill-gotten. Add to that, what you regard as bad methods are simply rewards of recognizing and abiding by incentives in the system. The founders of Emzor Pharma didn't defraud anyone, neither did wealthy cocoa farmers.

Dangote may have unfair advantage, but likely hasn't broken any laws. Here's one instance, read and understand - https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN0Z90ZO/#:~:text=Africa's%20richest%20man%20got%20a%20fistful%20of%20dollars%20in%20Nigerian%20currency%20squeeze,-By%20Ulf%20Laessing&text=LAGOS%2FLONDON%20(Reuters)%20%2D,Aliko%20Dangote%2C%20Africa's%20richest%20man.

That's my take, but what do I know.

Good Luck to Nigerians

Elon Musk as of today or last week is the wealthiest man in the world. He was born in South Africa but lives in the USA, in fact migrated to become a USA citizen. You'll probably contest that example but there it is. The richest man IN THE WORLD doesn't live in his native country, yes he's a singular instance but also a very significant one.

Most ultra-rich Nigerians don't "live" in Nigeria. I really don't think so.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

One of Chiles richest men doesn't even live in Chile. He migrated to Hong Kong after graduating from university and made it there. You can make it anywhere in the world so far as the society is a merit driven one and you have a lot of value to offer.

I am from the North; it's not our thing.
