Gerrard59:


Not again!!!

Unless he intends to return to Nigeria later in life, why the conversion? Is he spending naira in Australia? Just as I stated above, returning has to be planned now or else, he will be in Australia for the rest of his life, as flying to Nigeria would not be feasible unless he gets quite rich to afford it. Remaining in Australia for the rest of his life erodes whatever AUD to NGN conversion you have there.

His earnings and expenses are in AUD, stick to it. Nothing concerns NGN in Australia.

Brother, I don't even know the side you belong o. Better come out plain let me know the category to put you. Cuz I don't understand some of your comments in some of these japa threads.

chidi4sam:


The saying that Australia id expensive to fly to is an over statement. With $2000 which is less than what you make in a fortnight, you will come to Nigeria and return to Australia. For the investment aspect, I won't assume you think there are no real estate companies and trusted relatives that can take care of your investment while in a foreign country

Chidi, I when you migrated back then. I can't the exact year. How time flies!

Were you by any means in the Australia migration thread in the travel section back then? Or am I mistaking you for another Chidi? Kindly clear my doubts. Kindly let me know if I am referring to the same person.

AmuDimpka:
you still dey for American dream bro...there is nothing I will say to you that will make sense

As you are leaving Asians are coming

It has always being your trademark, everything you spew is so meaningless…

Iamzik:


You be trouble maker aswear🤣🤣🤣
So na spelling you come correct inside this hot Japa debate

No be my fault bros. I think say all those "Hi angle" na old things wey don . No vex. Lol.

AmuDimpka:
no wahala...I wish you luck. At 55 - 60 one should be retired travelling around yhe world. That is my perspective not learning forklifting at 48

Amu Dim Dim, go sit down abeg. I no go warn u again o.

Funkybabee:
I don't know what they are congratulating you for but I believe the lust of the world, uncertain satisfaction each day made you to made that decision.

At 50, you are supposed to be planning for retirement and moving closer to God but what did I know, I'm just a young girl not up to 30 self

You never understand life you still be smally. Go and see 60 years old men and women learning skills on YouTube like their life dependents on it. Black Man with their silly mentality always drafting time for this, time for that, time to marry , time to die, time to born, time gain ission etc.

MyAmericandream:


Pride no go kill you oh.. See foolish talk. He said he saved more than when he was in Nigeria. Did your father plan retirement at age 48? Una too like big man for that country so you can oppress the poor. If he had travelled to Cyprus or uk ( this one for pain me). In abroad whether you’re a forklift driver or an IT specialist no body send your papa. In fact you drive the same car live in the same hood… He hasn’t spent up to a year, if he gets a better certificate he will a better level/ job is just time.

Just one question for you...
Is Op spending in AUD or Naira?
Is he converting his salary to naira to send back home?

If No then your comparison is needless. You can never compare a successful CFO in Nigeria to a Forklift operator anywhere in the world.

koning:




I will NEVER leave Nigeria if i am making N1million as salary in a month.. i dey mad!.

Do you know what Dignity and self respect means.

My dignity, self-respect and self worth means more to me that having light 24 hours a day. I can afford fuel for Gen for christ's sake.

POVERTY IS THE DRIVING FACTOR FOR THE JAPA MENTALITY. Stop fooling yourselves.

You know the meaning of privilege.. thank God you were lucky not to be born in those poor northern state where kids stay in idp camps.. You won't have had the mental capacity to have type this.. and don't think you are more special than any of those kids.. circumstances just favoured you.. so think wide and drop this mentality.. just the way an abacha child will trample this your so called self dignity.. they will always be levels to this shitt... they are people who will commit suicide if there earning reduce to 10 million a month

AmuDimpka:


The truth is that many of them their wives push them into this decision. I know many of them and soke regret it and while some hide it

That's the truth !

Amu, I will not warn you again. Please take caution. No provoke me with your comments please. I take God beg you.

Silentgroper:
hahaha .. funny .. if A. I would takeover anything first.. it's you guys job in the tech sector ...


Let me see how A. I would takeover the job of a forklifter .. maybe they'd have to build a robotic A. I. For that ...

Tech guys (the dev) are like gods. They create magic and the magic works wonders.

If only you know what happens behind the hood. Dev team builds AI and are responsible for the maintenance and upgrade.

It's you guys that will be replaced. There are AI that will be performing medical surgeries and make intelligent decisions during the medical procedures real time. You are talking of forklifters, so easy to replace. You will see robot that has AI capabilities doing your work efficiently and seamlessly. It was on CNN two days ago ( you can also Google) that AI is revolutionising auditing and ing jobs. That task that takes you a week to deliver will be processed by Ai and delivered within a nano seconds.

You better catch up on the news. The era is changing so fast.

seanwilliam:
Congrats bro .. I hear say anaconda plenty wella for Australia, abeg shey na true? How many u don see

NO make Lala leave naija go there

udomonday:
oga stop your baseless argument,how much is 1million,what is the quality of life in Nigeria?waking up at 4am and rushing to work everyday ,and navigating the madness on the road,even the air you breathe in this country is enough to make you want to elope,money is not everything,Nigeria is a messed up country,you will not believe it until you set your foot in another more sane country,he is earning more than he did in Nigeria and has a better prospect of earning much more,with the future of his family secured.and you are still talking about boy boy,who manager help?

Don't mind that Gerrard59. And he is in o. He dey dey chill but dey argue for all japa thread dey canva for Nigeria the heaven on earth country.

Gerrard59 when are you coming to Nigeria? Practice what you preach abeg.

chidi4sam:



We save and invest in Nigeria too. No one stays in a foreign land forever. What I quoted is money he can save after expenses. Infact, now they are two (himself and wife), they can even save more. If you do not have limited right to work (student) visa, you can earn what I quoted above. I am not giving false figures. The last time I checked, the current exchange rate to Aus$ is 950 (it was above 1k few weeks ago). In a fortnight, he can earn between 2500-2800 from one job (times it by 2 to see what it is in one one). If you don't have limited work right you can have about 2-3 employers paying you in one month. 1 can be your permanent employer while the other 2 is part time. What you make from your permanent employer is for savings while what you earn from part time is for expenses. Except you are lazy, you will hit it big in Australia in a very short time. I am not exaggerating.

Pls sir how much can a person who is Very prudent save after tax doing menial work in Australia for one month.

Iamzik:


Just one question for you...
Is Op spending in AUD or Naira?
Is he converting his salary to naira to send back home?

If No then your comparison is needless. You can never compare a successful CFO in Nigeria to a Forklift operator anywhere in the world.

in a sane country nobody send your papa.. You all like to kid yourself.. but you can compare a successful cfo to Jeff bezoz.Bill gate. rafeal Nadal. messi. ..na where una fit think say una might fit reach..na him una dey reason. learn to reason beyond the horizon.. any place where people are treated cuz of what he got...my fellow try japa from dem..such evil mentality

Mcslize:


Start now. Time no dey o. 45 is the maximum age limit for a single person to migrate to Australia, except you have a partner whose age is below 45 who can serve as the main applicant. Anything above 45, you need a job sponsorship to sponsor you.

In the case of Op, it was possible for him cuz of his wife who was already there, that's why the age didn't affect him. So, better start making plans now if you really want to cuz age is still on your side.

.

Thanks boss

AmuDimpka:


It's better to be a king in hell than a slave in heaven

See the kind talk wey u dey spit from your mouth Amu. Amu, u drink Ogogoro dey talk this kind talk?

Sorry but I don't use gutter language.

Your thinking has to be upside down to think that a forklift operator is better than a CFO in a reputable company just because the forklift operator is in Australia.

Apparently you have never worked in a structured organization before.

TNORWAY:
you have been like that on every travel thread....... bitter old man.

I can categorically confirm this. You will never see Gerrard59 in any travel thread speaking good about japa.

I don't know if he is in Nigeria or . I need to find out. Gerrard59 where do you base? Nigeria or ?

Usefulsense:


This your person came in as an illegal immigrant. I can tell you that for free.

As an illegal immigrant, you will see shege.

No body comes in through legal means and stays up to 10 years without going home. Except the person decides not to.

In Australia, even if you're packing shit or faeces, you will live a decent life.

Life is much better here.

And again sir, what qualification do u need to work as a menial or casual worker in Australia.

people with low self esteem that continues to make sure people like you get to bed feeling on top of the world..

Bankowner:




What the OP has said is relative. I have seen Regional Managers of banks in Nigeria coming abroad to do the same so called menial jobs to survive. Why do you think many bankers are japaaing from Nigeria? As time goes by, they are able to adapt and find their footing. Life abroad, though not bread and butter, is easy as long as you have a steady source of income and you do not expose yourself to unnecessary credit. At least I can speak for myself.

Stop being a liar. You didnt even see one Regional Manager, you saw Regional Managers of banks. Softly softly, comrade

Do you know how much a regional manager in Nigeria earns to be doing menial jobs abroad? You guys can lie.

A regional manager of banks can only come abroad to shop on the high street.

Don't you know most banks use contract staff ? Those are the lowly paid and those are the ones you are referring to. The real bankers with perks are comfortable, not to talk of digital bankers who you don't see at all. They are behind the scene, driving all the operations of the banks digitally. They make good cash.

Op is very funny. This part got me laughing so loud:"The air we breathe in Nig is different from the one in Australia".
E be like say na fake oxygen we dey take in for naija o.

You ended up writing rubbish.

How çan a sheer volume of mediocrities and silliness be deposited in only one person?

I feel sorry for you.

Benjamin4388:

On the contrary you are the one who is displaying low self esteem.

A rational human being left the position of CFO in his own country to go drive forklift in another man's country while consoling himself with a false sense of exchange rate that is totally irrelevant to him in that country.

Feel free to go and him to drive forklift but stop putting out totally illogical takes. Y'all have never travelled or lived abroad that's why you make these baseless comparisons

chidi4sam:


LOL. You guys don't know how it works here. Who told you he can't get back to his ing profession? He needs to get life started before securing his career. If you are washing plate here, you don't wash with your hands. All you do is put all dirty plates into the dish washer, set the timer and go sit down. When it is done, you unload the dish washer. That's all. Same this applies to refuse dumping. You don't touch any thing with your hands. You do more of monitoring than manual handling. I work in the disability sector where I have gained a lot of experience using modern equipments to do various form of jobs without touching the person. What you don't know is bigger than you.

Can't like your response any less. You hit the nail on the head. By now you are experiencing firsthand what majority of Nigerians don't know, how far the world has gone with technology. Most ignorant people commenting here have no idea that soon, very soon, their jobs or those of loved ones will be taken over by machines.

Mcslize:


Don't mind that Gerrard59. And he is in o. He dey dey chill but dey argue for all japa thread dey canva for Nigeria the heaven on earth country.

Gerrard59 when are you coming to Nigeria? Practice what you preach abeg.

and just like that na so you don turn anti-japa o Gerrard59. Story of my life🤣🤣🤣

Once you dare to have an opinion that doesn't conform to the mob like this, or argue your point of view like this, gbam! You don turn anti-japa be that.

Nairaland are just something else.

Pls can 3 million take one to Australia 🦘?

Usefulsense:


This will be discussed in another thread coming up soon.

I want you to be honest with me. I want to ask you a very important question, and I will need your most honest answer.

As a young man in his mid 30th, I am already on the process to relocate to Australia through the skilled migration route. Latest 2026 ending, I should be with you guys.

Now, will you advice me to marry before coming to Australia or come single? I need your most honest reply on this. Cuz right now I nor even dey any relationship o.

You skip the part where he gave reasons for his decisions..from the future of his kids,standard of living etc..it's all there for you to check and to me they were very valid

Usefulsense:


See them. Hate filled souls.

That's Nigerians for you. Jealousy na go finish them. Very bitter entities. See the tone of her comments, you will know that some of these feminists are nothing to write home about.

Na them dey scatter people marriage o. People like Ishilove. See the tone of her comment, you will know these people are so bitter in their souls.

May God forgive them.
