I remember one “smart” guy who got a $4K per month job in CA and was so excited that they processed work visa for him.
I told him the salary would make him worse than the N500K he was earning in Lagos. He thought I was stupid.
It didn’t take long before he realized.

How will $4k ($4,000 x N420 = N1,680,000) not be better than 500k in Lagos?
He suddenly realized that accommodation around San Francisco was about $3k per month and he didn’t have anyone to stay with.
Cheapest mattress he got was about $250.
Gas & Electric - $200/month
Water - $150/month
1 drumstick of chicken 🍗 - $1.
The guy is back in Lagos. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Are there good opportunities in the US? Yes.
