Anyone with such amount of money in Nigeria is definitely not a poor man.

There are Arab countries one can go if it's work visa they looking towards.

Leave education route for those that wish to school! Education is not cheap!!

These are not state-owned schools. How many people can afford to study in a private university in Nigeria?!

Reading…
What you need to research is how a Chinese or Indian come to Nigeria with less than 5M and established.

You must be really silly to think that these indians who establish in Nigeria came with small sums of money

Unfortunately the reverse is the case
Go and understand history then return to it the facts
3 organisation controls the economy and financial war chest of America and one of them is the Vanguard group. These group are bunch of Jews who determine the fate of America and fund Isreal by telling them what to do
Biden cannot tell Nentanyahu what to do at this point

Make dem free gowon na.... Ojukwu led his people to a war unprepared and ran away after he has been defeated.... Gowon made efforts to rebuild back the country,one of his initiatives was the 3Rs program, Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, and Reconciliation....one of his structures is d NYSC which is still standing today....


Instead of blaming ojukwu that led men that had little or no training to a war against men that were trained by the whites, u guys are busy blaming gowon....

Please don't be silly
Use your head

The war has been fought
You said no victor no vanquished

Did you fight a war to keep them in Nigeria to then keep them as second class citizens?
Or what exactly?

After WW11. A lot of investment poured into and Japan to rebuild as a gesture I'd good faith

Why didnt Gowon build much projects in the east after the war. :+\

I'm curious why (Japa) living and working in another country is seen as a big accomplishment in many black countries, especially Nigeria. What more do they have there besides good healthcare, infrastructure, and institutions? Does it suggest that black people living in Africa face poverty, lack of basic needs, poor health, and inadequate housing?

What was the average life of black people like before they had with the West, colonialism, and displacement by Europeans?

It's actually an achievement
Have you checked the exchange rate ?

Obi staying relevant till 2027!
Why has the presidency totally ignored Obi with no response to any of his statements but always quick to respond to Atiku's criticism?

Obi is more relevant than the presidency at this point

Millions of Nigerians anticipate what he has to say

It's a pity...

Alot of people do not see past their nose just because they feel they have a grugde to settle with Tinubu.

Many want to see Tinubu fail at all cost even if it means causing them discomfort, disrespect, harm or hunger. Some don't mind if their short nose is cut off. They just don't care as long as he fails.

These are acts of sabotage. Yes... Nigerians sabotaging Nigeria because of grugde.

If Nigeria works... It's Nigerians who will benefit!

I'm not holding brief for Abure but why should the police refer to him as a factional chairman of labour party, even when he has been declared the authentic chairman of the party by the court?
That shows you the intent and background to the arrest

On june 30th/ August tinubu "Unified" exchange rate... A term he used to relived subsidy from the naira.


At the end of June 58,680 in year ending June 2023 where granted VISA . And the rate they used was cbn rate of 565/570. Meaning if your school fees was 14000 pounds with just 8 million you will pay 100% everything.

After June everything went up to over 100% and September/October it went up to 1300 per pounds.
And gradually it hits 1800 pounds meaning that you will need about 25m as against 8m for just school fees and you will need 18m for living expenses.

So while those (58 thousand Nigerians) who were granted visa and landed in UK before the unification of Naira (devaluation) and started seeing the news that naira has been devalued. Still put their hope on form A, left money in the bank and all that.

What would you advised them to do? Return back to Nigeria?



Finally do you have any statistical record from the UKVI that suggest that Nigerians use funds not belonging to them? Or you just summarise that from your head

Are you seriously asking this question?

If everyone around you lies then that's up to you.

How can you pay your school fees in full with 2023 directive from CBN? Are u in Nigeria at all or u landed from the moon?




A lot of people got their ission 2022 November down to early 2023 paid their first deposit using form A. Got their visa instantly waited till August/September before landing UK cos u can't leave except a month to your school resumption.

Most people couldn't pay all their fees cos early last year, banks only processed halve of what students wanted to pay as deposits then later it was reduced even further in some banks. And you have to wait for another 6 months before initiating another form A once the first has been processed
I got my ission in February 2023.


People left funds in banks hoping to get it converted to pounds through form A but gradually the pounds went high within just 3 months.

People just had to wait if things will return back to normal. But you can see where it has gone to. Pounds is now 2000+.

Will you now just return back to Nigeria after spending huge amount of money or to find a way to resolve it


I don talk my own Sha, and I know what I am saying
I wish everyone the best Sha

But they should know in advance what's about to hit them once they land

Do you know that a lot of people got their visa granted when pounds was 565?
That's they were expected to have at least 13m in but by the time they got to ul the exchange rate had gone to 1300 and now it's now 2000 meaning 22k at 13m is now 22k at 41m.

Where do you expect they get the reminder from to make up

Let us continue lying to ourselves like we didn't know what happened.

If truly u had the funds in the POF AT least the school fees would have been paid off in full

But anyways that is Convo for another day.
But like I said; make we continue

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.

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
