Dear @Kalu61

I understand how patriotic you are and how you believe staying in Nigeria and setting up your own business with money, becoming a landlord, etc. is better than being abroad, that is fine. It's clear where your priorities lie and what you see as a fulfilled life. To each his own.

Without being condescending, it seems you have absolutely NO idea why people seek greener pastures to developed countries. You converted 8k euros to 4m Naira and because it's in millions, you think it's a fortune? Not everyone wants to be a landlord in Ikorodu, Epe or Sango (No disrespect to people who live there).

Nigeria is a failed state. Do you know how many death-traps they import into Nigeria as salvaged cars that people drive on the roads? Do you know how many illegal drugs are on the market because the "owners" bribed their way through the agencies supposed to control these? God forbid your daughter goes to a rich man's son's house, gets raped and you want justice.

Which land can 4m Naira buy? Lol. How many Old people are suffering because there is no system in place for them for life after retirement? That's even if they lived a worthy life before retirement. The state of unhealthy foods in Nigerian restaurants with no regulations in place? The smoke you inhale every day from horrible buses and cars that should never be on the roads!

My God, if we start talking about reasons to leave Nigeria, I'll be 95 before I stop. What business if I may ask can you set up in Nigeria with 4m Naira? (Please don't talk about open a sports betting shop/importing goods from dubai, selling oil, rice, garri and those 16th century business ideas). Do you know how many people have invested and failed, with customers owing them all over? You can't even track a customer down, sue to court to get your money back, etc.

You shouldn't compare a working system to a non-existent system. I'd choose life here in the U.S with NO savings but a roof over my head in a rented apartment, my kids in school, food on my table, etc., over living in even Lekki as a landlord and being at the mercy of a failed country and leaders.

Good lord, educate yourself! Do you know it's illegal for your kids to not go to school? The average American kid goes to school!!! Can read AND write. You constantly have to prove you're fit to be a parent else you lose custody of your kids. How many kids are in Makoko, suffering and have no idea what the future holds?

Don't get me started. "People are overseas for 20 years but don't have even a room here" . How is this a yardstick to measure a fulfilled life? Some people in Nigeria have never even seen a dishwasher/washer/drier before. Many think using them is "Lazy", haha... basic things that make life easy. I'll just leave you to your mindset.

Again, your reasons for deciding to stay is best known to you. Don't let blind patriotism cloud your good judgment.

Finally, you have absolutely no clue how WORTHLESS the Nigerian port is. As they always say, a good name is better than gold and silver. Get into a fight with any Foreigner (American/European for example) in that Nigeria of yours and let your police judge the matter. You'll know how useless the country is.

I love how you write. So clear and lovely writeup

AllenSpencer:
Even in IT, Indians are prioritized, and truth be told, those guys know it!

Not really, trained 4 indians in last 3years in my IT department here. 2 were smart to catch up quite easily, 1 was so dumb and the other clueless like Buhari

SundayphilipNic:
Greetings ladies and gentlemen.

Please I'm in a serious confused state. it gives me sleepless night. I have ission to study Msc in Engineering Technology and Management. my visa has been granted since fabruary this year. i was supposed to start my program the same fabruary but due to the fact that the visa was granted a bit late, i had to differ the ission to july intake. That same fabruary i got a job here in Nigeria. the benefit attached to the job are as follow:
Salary is 540k Net.
HMO for me and my family.
28 days work, 14 day time off.
yearly Renewal of my contract bonus is x2 of my Salary.
No pension.
it's a contract job that can last for minimum of 3years.
Now my confusion is quiting this job to start afresh in Australia on a study visa. Please Gurus in the house. do you think am taking a good decision in this my Australia journey? Does quitting my job for my study worth it.
NOTE i have booked my flight to depart First week of june. Should i go for my tuition fee and ticket refund and continue with this new job?

Moreso, my job experience is in quality control welding inspector, Bsc in Agricultural Engineering and Msc in Engineering Technology and Management. can i get PR with this my different fields.

If you are ready to struggle very well on a student visa especially since you are a family man then its good otherwise just do your job there since it has good benefit.

If coming to Aus with either 491,190 or 189 or employer sponsored then its worth it

N.B: if you ready to hustle hard with study and work , then you will be fine after some time say 2 or 3years

There is no way Tinubu would have won Rivers
It's a stolen election
I also doubt Atiku would have won Akwaibom

covid shots perhaps?

Ckonnet:
The only thing Democrats are good at, creating chaos!!!

And stealing and rigging elections

In Australia, some people can save more than 200Aud daily, depending on the job, lifestyle(choice of rent, eating out etc)
From my salary I would love to think , I save up to 200-250Aud daily except rent weeks then I can say 150-200

I would say more than 40% of Nigerians here save that much

Welcome to the land of the Mormons although still lot of non Mormons but you would likely work and interact with one

SideshowBob:

Wow nice deeds you are doing here as it's not easy to give in this dark economy. I'm not part of your giveaway as I don't need it but I just wanna suggest to you that instead of letting the chosen beneficiaries sprawl here with their details and expose themselves, why don't they send you a pm each and you'll ask for their details because this is nairaland and anything can happen through some folks. May God crown your efforts.

naa i dont want PM's. What i wil do is as soon as i see the numbers, will make the payment then they can remove their numbers.So no need to wait till Sunday.Once you get my message and you are among the list, just drop your and once i see it, will transfer
