Me,I came for the dream.Nigeria can be hard but a dream is always imagination till someone converts it into reality.If Singapore could have enough sense to transform that tiny island into one of the biggest economies in the world,the critical mass of those that were here,those that have returned and the many more yet to come would transform this nation.The only issue is don't come to the table empty handed,kindly come along with some intelligence and let's build the nation of our dreams. Mi o lo anywhere clan,this is it for me till I die or Jesus comes back. 1 Like |

I had to come back and post a final comment on this thread... Imagine 18million mad people running around in Nigeria, yet the government hasn't deemed it fit to call it a national tragedy and declare a state of emergence in the country smh... Anyway, what do you expect from a country of 150 million people with only 5million rich/ballin' people, 70million dead-walking people, and the rest are just there for the sake of being there - whilst 500,000people continue to loot and chuck billions of dollars and naira in foreign accounts?? You can keep the pricks who went back - they're only looking for something to steal with the other looters!! The only thing worth going to naija for are the hungry who.res who'll swallow your babies for a nickle!! The country is so messed up, all our African values have been thrown in the bin and we're now raising who.res, kidnappers, armed robbers, 419ers etc.. Muthaphuck Nigeria!! ![]() I'm out, yo!! *Still crying for naija* ![]() |

The vast majority of british born nigerians are not interested in returning to nigeria even for a holiday and that is a fact, many are completely westernised in their outlook and will find it almost impossible to adapt in nigeria. I mean returning to do what exactly - there are basics that all human beings want from life: food, shelter, employment, healthcare, education - nigeria is unable to provide any of these basics to its populace, here in the UK the poorest people in society have access to all of these without breaking sweat so why leave that to go to a place where those things are guaranteed only to the rich? Nigeria is a country where only the rich live well and the rich make up less than a fraction of 1% of the population - that is what you call inequality on a staggering level. When you visit places like abuja you see how wide the gap is between the haves and the have nots - why would anyone who has a choice of something better opt to live in such a society? Here in the UK - if you are poor you can still eat three square meals a day, have access to education, healthcare, employment, and a range of other social services, if you dont have money to go out to the cinema or visit places of interst, you can go to the libraries which are free, museums, parks and many other places of interest. This is an advanced society - you need to see the kind of accomodation that is designated for disabled people in this country - these are places that many so called rich people in nigeria would give their right arm to live in. Obadiah - i have to respond to your post about earning £50 an hour in this country, how many people do you know that earn that? as one poster correctly stated - minimum wage in this country is £6.80 therefore whoever earns £50 an hour is doing very well indeed because the average salary in the UK is £26,500 as at april 2012. In order to earn £50 an hour you have to be a highly skilled worker with the kind of skill that very few people have ie medical doctor, lawyer, dentist, journalist etc as you should know very few black people have access to such high paying jobs unless they belong in the above mentioned group as the majority of high paying jobs in this country are undertaken by white people. The UK is a class based nation - your success in life is determined by - family background ie are your parents middle or working class, the type of school you went to, ie private or govt maintained, how you look and speak - many blacks do not gain access to the best jobs and opportunities because they can not get over the above hurdles. |

living in the uk: good health servioe, freedom to walk around at 1am without looking back, working system at least to a high extent, good and affordable education for your kids, no vigilantes or night guards banging on ur gate to show that they are hardworking, anything happens to u , u call for an ambulance and they show up in 10 minutes,meanwhile there is nothing that says if you live abroad you can not be rich, as a matter of fact i know very successful Nigerians abroad, that Made their money legitimately [b]living in Naija: big money( if you are one of the few that have it), if u are lucky or connected, or have a decent well paying job, or if u have a godfather that initiates you into cult or politics, you have to pay for vigilantes,opc, dig your own bore hole,buy petrol or diesel, visit someone at 9pm and they tell you you can not go home because its too late, or you can not go from lagos to ibadan at night because of armed robbers, you can have good deals , make big money and buy 8 to 10 cars that you park most of the time, you can have a personal driver for 10$ a day,who can plan with armed robbers to come and rob you and kill you , because he wants " to make it too" , your wife can work in a bank till 11pm and the boss may pressurise her to sleep with hIM, you need to pay millions for your childrens school fees, because they have personal laptops and they go to london every summer or they have an admin assistant that has british accent The choice is yours! THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SLEEPING MAN AND A DEAD MAN, GOD BLESS NIGERIA |

Hemel Hempstead? Edgware? sound familiar? I didn't think so This article is about Nigerians who studied in the U.K, not an "aduro" like you. Anyway have fun in your Lekki mansion. |

I live and still live in eltham ( since 2006). While it is not a traditional black area like them peckham brixton etc. It is a lovely area to live in. I have never suffered any racism attacks and during the london riots, these people gathered to protect the neighborhood from black youths advancing from lewisham. no harm in that. i went past the place shown in the video (eltham high street) that day and i wasn't attacked as a black guy. The last video of the 321 bus confirms this. This bus runs from Lewisham to Sidcup. Probably some of the looters where already on their way to loot the eltham high street shymexx: |
