Why?

Nothing. I wasn't an economic migrant. In the 80's a lot of us went for studies with the intention of coming right back. Mine too longer than usual because I ended up getting married and raising a family.

I really don't like doing this as it belittles good and decent citizens who lives there but folks don't let anybody try to use Torrance to brag to you.

Torrance is not Pacific Palisades, South Pasadena, etc It's a gang infested little b bedroom corner of Los Angeles. Not too far from Compton and East Los Angeles, the heartland of Crips. Blood and MS13. Wear the wrong color shirt, drive wrong color car and go into the wrong neighborhood and you'll end up sorry.

I gave 3 possible sources for such a misleading statement, you apparently fall into one.

Nobody on minimum or average wage(most immigrant are average or lower) can buy a house through a mere 3 years savings
no matter how frugal they are.

i know a lot of people that have done it I have a friend he moved to the states 4 years ago got married paid off the wives mortgage within a year and half and he’s bought another house as an investment in Fresno that you can’t do it doesn’t mean other people can’t in a legit way I know a lot of people that has 3 jobs and saves more than they spend eat at home don’t buy luxury goods like I said it’s all about lifestyle I know another guy that doesn’t save because his people back in Nigeria is milking him dry he complains everytime we see at church most people have iPads iPhones and when a new one comes out they take out loan and buy a new one when they still owe on the old one that’s double tax some people want to buy big flat screen buy expensive perfumes cloths just to show off on social media at the end of the month the money is gone before it even came in ....I know an Indian here that trained his 3 daughters through college without taking student loans by driving a taxi I knew cos I was the one in charge of the ward his wife was when she was brought in our hospital we became friends so like I said it’s all about priority and self discipline America is built on living like the jones buying what you can’t afford living on debts they believe debts is good as long as you can pay for it

Good city with good real estate except occasional cases of brush fire.

Try buy home there now before chinko people come destroy your real estate biz like they did in LA and San Francisco. I don't know if those guys dey do money ritual, they just buy everything and before you know, prices will skyrocket.

I actually had papers. I was married to someone that felt that visiting Nigeria was dangerous because she's British. All she knows about Nigeria are the bad stuff from mainstream US TV.

I left Naija in 1986 and came back for the first time in 2006 (20 years gone). But from that time I was coming home every year or twice a year.

A little advice to those leaving. Please hustle out there. The guys you're leaving behind are not standing still. Shebi na my friend offered me a spare luxury car and driver when I visited Naija. He had gateman and house girl. Who born us for USA to have driver, gateman and house girl? Unless you're stupidly rich into tens of millions.

Were you expecting to come back and meet a WRETCHED FRIEND....?
You shouldn't expect to meet all the friends you left the same you left them, Haba...

By the way, the LABOUR in Nigeria in Cheap, so I don't expect less from a hardworking inspired Nigerian.

One can't get such Luxury in the US, like you rightly put. It will be damn expensive.

Honey I posted in reply to your comment that Nigerians are mostly below average earners in the USA. You should know that education and skill is actually power which in most cases translates to more income..


If you’re following basic statistics, that doesn’t necessarily apply to Nigerian immigrants. They don’t come to America and live here with the same drive as people who have always been here and are used to not struggling for basic things. That extra drive often amounts to more income.
Here are some links that talk about average Nigerian-American income.

USA poverty level is around $25,000 for a family of four and $32,000 for a family of 6 As of 2020.

Average Nigerian household income is above $60,000. So no! We are not low income earners like you generalized earlier. Neither am I claiming that Nigerians are rich. Just easy on the generalizations. Thanks

ivolt:

Your sources are all about education.

I had no source before my previous comment, just basic statistics.
If every other immigrant in the US earns averagely or below, there is no reason to believe
that Nigerians are different.

Here is a source, not exactly what I want but it points to the fact that immigrants are having it
worse than native borns at least for up to 2 decades after immigration.

If you have any source that discuss the salary of average immigrants contrary to mine, please post them.

He doesn't even know that he quoted a confirmed US citizen, that decided to come back to Naija.

They seem to console themselves a lot by painting Nigeria so bad as the reason that pushed them out instead of admitting that they are economic migrants just to better their lives.

Sometimes the way they paint Nigeria so bad, you will wondering is it not the same Nigeria you are in.

Though Nigeria is actually bad, no thanks to our useless politicians but not so bad as painted.


One more thing, don't make it a tribal thread. you can use Nigeria other than using Aba.

Yes sir, as soon as this madness corona is over.

So those chinko don come there too? Those guys are hell bent on sending low income earners to the streets.

Do you know that homeless people are made up of undercover security agents, drug dealers, unemployable excons, veterans with ptsd, lazy folks and LOW INCOME EARNERS(thanks to chinko developers)?
