You missed the point by as much as the distance there is from the US to Lagos, the jobs at VN belong to the Nigerians and my point has nothing to do with the migration of pilots but rather the market averages. I'm sure that you have convinced yourself that supply and demand is the reason why we are the lowest paid pilots of any of the industrialized nations but the supply and demand ratios during the 60's,70's, and 80's was even worst that it is now but the salaries saw some of the biggest gains, Why?

there are pilots that are willing to work for $100
Agreed
