GLOBALINF:
Sorry bro! But you got it totally wrong
It’s not only politicians, fraudsters and whatever you call it that are making money in this great nation.
Everyone look for who to blame but can u be honest with you?
People are making clean, honest and legal money in this nation despite the economic hardship!
To be frank! You are just mentally lazy and looking for a easy way out of your mysterious lifestyle!
Some of your mate hv left security job abroad and return home to startup and they are glad they took that decision including me writing this
I left abroad after many years doing crazy job all for money! It dawned on me I will just serve those white fools all my life for chicken change and little comfort.
I made up my mind to return and I came back firing GEJ era with fear of uncertainty! Ebola, boko- haram, bomblast everywhere! Even friends advice me never to return but I thank God I came back!
In less than 5 years., God really blessed my hustle and where I am today, I can’t get there in 30 years staying abroad!
Saw a niche in the market, provide solutions and now I swim in millions!
Soooo many opportunities here if u r smart, honest and hardworking.
So bro don’t sell your birthright for a plate of pourade.
Wake up, think deep, pray and take that bold step to turn your story around and stop blaming one politician.
The earlier you realize they can’t help the better for you!
Build your empire and forget government exist!
My little advice sir!

Thank God for your life but just take it that you are only fortunate and not because you are smart or hardworking. Naija is a place that success on your endeavour is not sure until you attain it. I know many people that took the same step you took and failed. Iwo sope ti e.

Armed security guards here make average $30 an hour plus health benefits and matching 401k. This guy head correct.....

ositadima1:


you don't know that, do you know food is cheaper in the usa than it is in Nigeria, with 2 dollars (720 naira) you can buy a kilo of chicken. If you are savvy you can have an ok life and still save money.

I agree with you broh, the major stand out between the western world and the shitholes is that they have a system that works, a system that caters for the less privileged and make them have a decent life.
Good roads, electricity, clean water, food, clothing and other basics. And that's just about that. When you want to aspire to climb that ladderz the same society reminds you of your place. Its a desirable but brutal system.

Security guard who gets $12/hour

Gets about 50hrs a week

50x12 = $600/ week

$2400/month

$2400x360= 864,000 Naira

People should try and get sense. I never added overtime or a second job.

Na still mai guard work sha

Nigeria is geographically speaking one of the most beautiful places on Earth.

It has become a SHITHOLE because it contains approximately 180 million unproductIve, undisciplined, illogical, unintelligent, sky daddy believing, useless subhumans called Nigerians. We should stop having children immediately.

Dreydoe:
He only stated the Obvious
We all knew Nigeria is a shitty Country.. Very correct. If a revolution doesn't take place in this country.. We are going nowhere! We are a Failed country!! No revolution no progress... Trust Nigerians... Suffering and smiling ( The great Fela) saw it Long Long Long Time ago.. If u have the means to get a better life out this country. Run .

how many revolution in singapore,malaysia or south korea
revolution never happen ppl de run go libya
if e happen nko
na togo and chad go be una portion
better go learn french and ask egyptians and syrians how d revolution market

Mariangeles:
The guy is really angry and rightly so...I mean who wouldn't be,with the things they wrote about working as a security guard in a belittling as if things were better off in Nigeria

the irony is that most of those youths will quickly jump on any opportunity to become a security guard in Yankee. talk about hypocrisy.

Millz404:

Let me even go into the money talk
People just compare currencies anyhow.... A security man in yankee might be earning $27000 a year. That's $2250 per month... Do you know that rent for an apartment can be as high as $500 to $800 per month?

Yes bro, i know that, if you don't over spend on frivolities you can manage $1200 per month and save the rest. If you are smart you can be doing that while you are schooling or learning a trade. In a few years you would have doubled your income.

ernieboy:
and so what? is he not providing for his family and paying his bills? was it not in Nigeria the other day that a director in Kogi or benue state took his own life because the govt was owing him salary arrears and he couldn't take care of his family? so which is better a director in Nigeria who could not take care of his bills or a gateman in the us who can take care of his bills?

Have you ever asked yourself while they are so many homeless people in america.... Granted their standard of living is high but don't just start comparing currencies blindly.... Rent in america go chop almost 50% of that income... U neva pay for cable, water, plus other amenities.... While do u think people in yankee have to keep 2 to 3 jobs to make ends meet if the money plenty d reach them do tins

Millz404:
Oga forget that story... U be gate man

What is wrong with being a gate man? He is not stealing or begging
Many shameless Nigerians talk rubbish like this and are not ready to do any work all you hear from them is HELP ME


shameless animals

Follygunners:


Fool's mentality! Na poverty go kill you die, you hear.

So much pent up anger in there. Who did this to you?

Ryabcool:
if it gets the job done, then I agree

Work is always done with that man o. Cant ever forget that man in a hurry. Guy used to watch the state broadcast tv those people sat up by force of that. As in the station come pure with interesting programs. Now I no fit watch that station if u see nonsense wen den d show me I d shame for them.

ndy87:


Donald Duke is a very strict man ooo. Hope Nigeria will be able to cope. Give contract and inspects at midnight if u no do proper work Na bulldozer you go see for sight d next morning. Then he go give another coy again. Wunna go gree?

Well said. Ndy, as in N d i f r e k e ?

Bros,leave these people wee dey parayarn as if they are enjoying this shithole called Nigeria. Bros,abeg any vacancy remain for another security guard? I am a graduate with 2:1 and I'll gladly accept the security work over there than being here.

Streamsyjd:
Do You know how much security guards are making in Canada? I am writing an exam very soon so I can secure a security job. It is not the 10k they are earning in Nigeria. You can earn as much as 250k/300k Every two weeks just being a security guard. Who naija help. Nigerians will never ever understand till they are out of that country!

Please how will i get canada visa easily?

Eking:

Shut up.. That's low income in the USA.. U talk like he is spending Naira.. I don't like how u guys convert dollar to Naira and start blind comparisons

You don't get it, do you? A low income earner in the USA lives a far better life than his counterpart in Nigeria. I will rather be a poor guy in the USA than here in Nigeria.

zinaunreal:
Na still mai guard work sha

Work is work which many Nigerian's do not understand.
What they know is beg and steal


Even if he washes toilet he is still feeding himself with dignity something that many people no longer understand.

MrHighSea:
Well said. Ndy, as in N d i f r e k e ?

No.

and there are no homeless people in Nigeria? at least he can pay for those expenses u listed, I just gave u an instance if a fellow who despite working hard cannot even meet his basic needs. do u know how many people, who are seemingly working in Nigeria but cannot take care of their bills because they are being owed months of salary arrears? u are talking of 2 jobs but there are many folks here who cannot even find "half a job" much less 2 jobs, is it not because u can get 2 jobs that u even consider working 2 jobs?

My brother leave matter, everyone thinks they have the best opinion on life in amelika. Too much of Hollywood has turned pplz reasoning to algebraic equation. Let them continue to equate $1 to N1 , adding all the variables that do not count in reality.
They think the states is a laissez faire place where you go owe NEPA bill, NEPA wee cut light then you wee climb ladder and fix it. Or that you wee rent house and be dragging with landlord

ndy87:


No.

dt was fast. Ok

buhariguy:
I concur. I will personally kill the past criminals. Starting from ibb of 1986 to ineffectual buffoon of 2015.

u see ur life? don't u tink if Buhari is killed 1st ur life will b better

It is that same strictness that made most of us to vote for Buhari. If Donald's strictness can revive hope, we will shift to him because Nigeria needs that genuine strictness.

Nigeriadondie:

Many Nigerians are already working hard. In fact if hard work guarantees financial success, every Nigerian wud ve been rich. But u should realize that govt has a lot to play on the lives of its subjects. U can never toss that away unless u live in denial

Now that he has made it, he won't look at it from that angle. Who cares

ositadima1:

U r the one not getting it. Granted qualitynog life is OK, good roads , constant light and security but most people abroad live paycheck to paycheck. Most are even in debt . if u doubt find out. That money might sound huge but over there its nothing . I have spent time here and in the USA so I know .

Ishilove:
You won't realise what a shithole this country is until you go out and then get hit by reality. The difference is very clear

What we all fail to admit is that we all contributed to making this country the way it is. I will never agree with those that call Nigeria a shithole. Nigeria is a blessed land, the problem is with Nigerians and the black man in general. Go to other African countries and you will see the reality that Nigeria is really golden. Even in the USA, go to the black communities and you will discover they are cesspits of crimes, drugs, prostitution and filthy lucre. The sky always seen greener on the other side until you discover that beneath the "greens" is full of shit

The man is right. Even as a working class graduate, you can't afford good accommodation, meal, social life, etc let alone underemployed or employed graduates. If I have the opportunity to leave this country, I won't think of returning again. Not by death or illness.

security guard is good, but try truck driving, Damm! that is were the money is.

Frenchfriez:
I can feel the pain and frustration but read between the lines, you would get the story.
I can't for the life of me , be a second class citizen anywhere in the world. No matter the benefits.
I'd rather be a local champion in my country than be subservient in another man's country. Forget the talk about 'stooping to conquer', there is what is called self esteem.

First class citizen does not put food on the table OK! If u are in your country and u can't live a descent moderate life what is the use of the first class citizenship? By the time he pays this sacrifice for his children and family later comes back to your shithole country to invest will he not pick back his first class citizenship with a more robust financial standing?! Get one fact, everybody will not be in Nigeria. If u have tried here in Nigeria and u are not making headway u have the right to seek opportunities somewhere else. Self esteem without no money is a dead esteem ask the broke guys they will gist u.

Nigeriadondie:

100% on point. I can attest to it life as a Nigerian living abroad.
This same security man when he comes back home, those yabbing him for d job he does wud be the one asking ‘wetin u carry come for us’.
My neigbhour from Edo state who never completed primary school is living far better than a bank manager or a doctor in general hospital live my guy i dey yarn u.

Bro abeg help me out na

I wan comot for this country plz

TheKingIsHere:

Nigeria needs a strick and educated man like Donald Duke and not all these old illiterates that are leading the country into chaos.

If only he'd contested and won in 2007. If only. I bet we'd have much higher standards by now.
