The Homefront Champion
You are stable here, and that is the best position to plan your move from.
Your money works here. That is genuinely rare, and it is worth naming — most people running this calculator cannot cover their costs at all.
But being comfortable in Nigeria and wanting to leave are not opposites. You are simply in the strongest possible position to plan a move: you can save toward it instead of scrambling for it.
Being stable is the advantage. It means you get to choose your timing and your destination rather than taking whatever door opens first.
