10 Days In Nigeria And I Am Planning To Relocate To Nigeria. by toshacer: 7:23pm On May 23, 2008 |
I went for the very first time to Nigeria - spent 10 days precisely and I must say I love Nigeria - I wonder why the whole people say Nigeria is bad - is this is that - from the Lagos Airport - very welcoming people - the Lagos local airport was just too beautiful, bigger than the international airport of some countries I have been to - nice bus ride from the terminal to the plane - nice, state of the art facilities. The flight to Abuja was splendid - Abuja was another splendour of a city, in short, I didnt beleive I was in Nigeria - nice parks, nice roads, lovely city view, I got hooked to Abuja, simply. Port Harcourt was brilliant, Calabar was adorable, oh my God - why do people say Nigeria is bad? Hmm - the most interesting part was what? Ladies - come and see pretty ladies - not like those Nigerian ladies in America/London that cold and stress has turned them into witch looking people - come and see girls in Lagos/Abuja - oh boy - boy - my pe nis was forever rising - hard and erect - just looking at them girls - wow - Nigeria is the place - this is what I call 20th century Nigeria - a sight so lovely. I have asked my company to relocate me to Abuja - I just want to be in amongst the ladies - wowowowow - come with me if you dare. 1 Like |

Bros, Naija is 'how you look at it'. if you've got your dough, you'll live peacefully and enjoy your freedom. but of course there's the other bad parts too that will rear their ugly heads soon like utilities et al. But things are always the way you choose to look at it. And the people are always accomodating. If your heart is evil, you'll definately meet bad people before long. but if otherwise, you dont have any problem. ENJOY my bruv. |

Ofcourse you'll see the good in Nigeria you dont have to wake up in the morning not knowing where your next meal will come from even though you graduted with honours over 5 yrs ago and havent been able to work a day since graduation. that is what people complain about when they nigeria isnt good, next time you vist i will advise u visit the slums of lagos with no water or electricity or the communities in the niger delta who even tho the county's wealth is drawn form their land have nothing to show for it and live in abject poverty 1 Like |

@ poster, You're just like me. I love it in Nigeria and can't imagine living in any other country again. People will discourage you but it's up to you to decide what you want to do with your life. Where do you think you will be better off? You're the only one that can answer that question. HR.hotness: Why does he have to visit those places? ![]() |
Re: 10 Days In Nigeria And I Am Planning To Relocate To Nigeria. by toshacer: 11:39pm On May 23, 2008 |
I am amazed at Nigerians - they never see anything good in their country but outsiders like us see everything great in that country. I cant understand. |

Hi My husband relocated to Lagos 3 weeks ago and me and three kids will be joining him pretty soon. Nigeria is a very vibrant place right now but you have to be in the right job/business, at the right place, at the right time. He's writing an interesting blog about his experience.

enough as it sound the ones that keep swing their ulgy head are the ones that lives in overseas. i mean the ones that got a lot of zeals to discourage u ! But i must say i never no nigerians gals are this nice u know course i just dnt know what went wrong with the ones in london where this AKA superman is.The ones back home look so much nicer than these furstrated ones that keep on puttin you of. when i was in nigeria last dec my skin went so dark like that south african baboon called MPELE on the other thread, i was like huh, how come these babes wey dey here just de glow shiny shine like this ha! you in this world u got to have some kind of soldier mentality in order to fly high in the sky. some of these folks in here has already denounced nigeria while at the other hand they will still love to sells cars from oversea to nigerians. some of them see nigeria as a tourist desendence hahha, when age catch up with them, they realise its time to build a house in nigeria well something got to change for good |

@ Sienna, Of course no country is 100% good. Infact, Naija is just about 5% good. ![]() He has decided to enjoy the 5% and I see nothing wrong with that. I don't think it's necessary to go to those places for the sake of "balance things by seeing " I've lived 28 years in total in Nigeria and I've not even been to the Niger Delta to see those places HR.hotness refered to. He doesn't have to see them to live and be happy in Naija. |

Siena: You've hit the nail on the head. That is the point everyone else misses. We all have our reasons for choosing where we want to live. I love the UK for many reasons and I found it difficult to relocate to Naija. I still miss the UK and whenever I have time, I pop in to see my folks. But I' searched my soul and I knew deep down that my chances of success in my business is 100 times higher if I live in Nigeria. I had my reasons. . . The poster has his reasons. He is not allowing stereotypes to dictate his life decisions like many people do. |

tosh_acer: I feel you. I still don't understand why people still don't see anything good in Naija. Everywhere I turn to, I see countless opportunities that can turn people to what they will probaly never be abroad. Opportunities waiting to be tapped at ridiculously low costs. But I must warn you. . . Social infastructure is almost zero here so you must be prepared to provide everything for yourself. 1 Like |

@all I guess @ tosh_acer felt what he witnessed in Nigeria was in contrast to what he's heard about the place. Every country has its pluses and minuses, so I guess @tosh_acer was surprised to see the pluses. [remember the western media depicts the entire country (100%) as one big slum] |
Re: 10 Days In Nigeria And I Am Planning To Relocate To Nigeria. by toshacer: 10:21am On May 25, 2008 |
I actualy went to the interior places - the so called rural places - I experienced their way of life - but, the amazing thing was that - they were very very happy - it doesnt seem their "poverty" worries them - and to think of poverty, most of them sponsor their wards to the University and higher institution - hence, they don't think they are realy poor - remember, most people in advanced countries even have to secure loans with big interests lines to go to school, my point is this, even though they are painted as poor, they are still happy and think less of the city social infrastructure that is missing. The cities I went are sophisticated, bus lanes, who will tell me there are bus lanes in Lagos and I will beleive? I saw bus lanes, I saw working traffic ligts, I saw people obeying traffic rules, so - what is the fuss about the country being bad? About electricity, yes, it goes off, but hey - so what? Does that make the country as bad as even the Nigerians on this forum writes about the country - every country has the bad and the plus - even America. I saw parks in Lagos, green lawns, I saw street lightings - nice round abouts - bridges, nice lanes - wide roads, so - what the fuss? I saw happy people at the malls - I saw people buying TV sets that costs 4,000 pounds and more with cash, I saw people happy every where - so please tel me, why is the country said to be in bad shape? In the malls - noone pays with credit cards like here, people buy things and pay cash - that means they have the money - who dare buy a TV that costs £4000 pounds in Europe with cash? Its all credit, and you say there is no money in Nigeria? I saw cars that I have not seen else where, yes, especially Lagos. Its like everyone in Lagos rides a Jeep - a Cadillac, a Bentley or an Alfa Romeo. I saw guys handsome, cute, with fashion wears like that of models, I saw cute office guys, ladies, etc - so, why wont I want to live amongst them, or who wants to live in the cold for 365 days a year? Men, convince me otherwise. |

@Poster, Not sure what your true expectations were but as someone who has done a bit of travel in the western world, I can tell you there is abundant life in Nigeria. And I hope your desire to get posted to Abuja becomes reality that way you can live your dream at very little cost. |
Re: 10 Days In Nigeria And I Am Planning To Relocate To Nigeria. by londoner: 1:13pm On May 25, 2008 |
I can relate to the Abuja experience. there were some things which reminded me, yep I am in Nigeria (nepa etc). However, much of the time I did have to keep telling myself I am actually in Nigeria. Quite a few of my friend or their friends are relocating to Nigeria, these were people born abroad. To tell you the truth I'm actually considering relocating to Abuja too, at least for a while. |

@ Poster, Look man, One of the best thing about nigerians is that, pple re really welcoming. Once they know you re a stranger/visitor, they will treat you just the way they will treat a vice president! Lol, ![]() And you considering living in Abuja is the best choice you've got. If only you can provide your electricity which is the major problem, then u will really love it here. And to you guys out there, when will you start seeing something good about your father's land? God will help you o, I always say that your situation or experience will always control your expression. My advice, if you re not enjoying the cold out there, y cant you come back? Take care, |

@ Poster, People choose to see what they want to see, you saw the good in Nigeria, I thank God for you. Please don't let some people with their bad mouths discourage you, it is still the the same people that discourage fellow Nigerians from relocating to the UK saying that life there is hard and expensive bla bla, one thing i know is that there are always naturally 'enemies of progress' prowling around, they never have a good story to tell! If you want to relocate to Nigeria, you are highly welcome, I have added you to my list of the few people I think highly of in this forum, and please when you get to Abuja, feel free to buzz me incase you need any assistance. Cheers! |

Thanks to all contributors - I am someone who likes chalenges, so, wether there is light or there is no light, wether there is security or not - which country is 100% safe? None - so - the same way people find reason to migrate abroad and suffer, the same way I have found it great to migrate to Nigeria and have fun. |
