OMO IBO: Lol @ pataki and cougar.
Yep, I returned.

Pataki, I understand you are from abeokuta. You can stop by sango ota when next you are in town. You can see me, your arch enemy and then seun.

is it the same moet that mr patel sells at £25 you are talking about like it's diamond. the ones you even drink in the clubs in nigeria are mostly fake. biko, priorities differ when talking about lifestyle. to you, popping champagne is the pinnacle of achievement......to the average diasporan, his thinking is way ahead.

onoja12: i think it should rather be u people hate Nigeria and Nigerians,i can remember when i wanted to get married(my wife not been from Nigeria) it was the Nigerians who went about telling her family rubbish,u guys are fools,u seem not to know that as u insult ur own same eyes are been use to look at u.u go round telling people Nigerians are criminals yet u forget u too are a Nigerian,u cant eat ur cake and have it,if u hate Nigeria so much pls stop been Nigerian cause we don't like u either,for the fact u are on nairaland which means u trying to claim Nigerian yet running down Nigeria which makes u useless

bellong: The principal problem of Nigeria still remain Nigerians.

The custom officer who molested travellers at the airport is a Nigerian. The police collecting bribe on the street and killing those who refused to pay is a Nigerian. The permanent secretary of a ministry who sits on government contract and collude with minister to divert fund is a Nigerian.

The civil servant who demands a tip before doing the job he is paid for is a Nigerian. The mechanic who cheats a car owner in order to get more money from him is a Nigerian. Students that are supposed to be studying to become better in solving problems in their country but are busy finding a way of short-changing the system are Nigerians. Pastors sweet-talking their congregation to collect the members' hard earned money are Nigerians... Bankers diverting customers' money are Nigerians.

In all the above listed, I have not mentioned the evils of government because the government of any country is a reflection of the followers.

We need a value re-orientation in the country to kill this get-rich syndrome that has eaten deep into the heart of everybody including religious houses.

Only Nigerians can save themselves from themselves.

chucky234: His thinking is way ahead? Are you serious ,hmmm I get it,he is always thinking towards he is going to spend at the end of each month.

imauri: i understand ur pain and all but i do not share the same sentiment.... we all pain as well but home is home... no matter what.....i dont live in nigeria but i grew up there and it will always be my home...(do not call nigeria a pit just because u have the opportunity others may not have... i dont live in nigeria, i have a professional job( a good one at that) and my wife is not nigerian either but she knows i love my country ( every country has issues) EVERY....and it is my home and hers as well....so swallow ur anger....just so u know....truth be told alot of well meaning nigerians have no time for this crap..... so i guess those hating on u are the undergrads who use figures to rep words eg 8(hate)...... and u just responded to them

livethinme:

I agree with you but isnt it ironic given how religious many Nigerians are that the country is without morals and in need of a value re-orientation?

coogar:

the thought process of the average nigerian in nigeria is a closed loop. once he closes at work, his brain is in a turmoil thinking about traffic, power supply, how to quickly iron his work clothes for the next day, security, etc.

these are the daily thoughts of the average nigerian - when does he really have the time to think about other stuff? even when he does, he spends less time than his counterpart abroad who does not have these issues on his tab.

Vicjustice:
Who told you that Nigerians are "hard working" people, you must be saying this from your own opinion. But you need to come to reality and understand what Nigerians are known for. Get it right, Nigerians do not have the reputation of HARD WORKERS, but of dubious people; goal diggers; corrupt minded people; social benbenefit cheater; prοstituting workers; lazy nuisance; romance cheaters; drug peddlers; habitual liars; religious fanatics; loud speakers; superstitious believers and all sorts of negative reputations

Its not all about making d money but about the life u live. money is just a paper any body can get it anytime anywhere but u can't get good life anywher. that's the point d writer was tryn to make. 2 B sincere I HATE my country and I will disown it if I get d chance.

@OP

You are a slowpoke by terming our beloved country " shait hole " ... For your information , our best in all professions are based in Nigeria, it's only faint hearty ignoramuses like you and your ilks that do make it look as if it's a big deal living as second class citizen in abroad . Suffice to say 99% of Nigerians living in this so called abroad lives from hand to mouth , so I don't see why you should feel like a demi-god , because you reside abroad temporarily/permanently. If every body should runaway from this country , then who will fix it well ?

Hey! Before you attack me , note that I have traversed the breath and length of this world and I hold permanent residence in 3 different advance countries ,USA inclusive and even as I write this piece am not in Nigeria , but that's not reason enough for me to term my beloved country " shait hole " like you did , because I know that Nigeria still remain the best country in this world .

A-town:

Do you have stats to back this up. Have you worked in Nigeria to know this. Making this kind of generalization is absolutely wrong.

OMO IBO: Cougar, I'm happy with the cabana in the country side. Fresh air with lots of greeneries.

Pataki, I'm hooking myself up with one of your sisters. Dem wan kill me with ikokore.

jennykadry: I am going to say this to all you hating nigerians living in diaspora that you lot should go on your knees and pray to whatever being you serve so that we remain here cos if some of us professionals with high standards decide to relocate back to Nigeria.....ALL OF YOU WILL BE JOBLESS, YOUR JOBS WE WILL TAKE AWAY FROM YOU AND OUR PAY WILL BE QUADRUPLED BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT PEOPLE INTELLECTUALLY BLESSED HAVE GRACED THEIR PRESENCE"......in other words shuuushhhh and be thankful to us cos without us staying abroad, some of you people will be begging on the streets for food.

funnyx:

Whichever way you get it you obviously can't maintain them, PR carries residency requirements which you cannot meet for 3 countries even if you can move around all your life like a fulani man.I am making this post from experience.

ifyalways: The other side of the coin!
Some Nigerians living in Naija are quite so very comfy with their lives here that they don't give a fvck about diasporans. Truth is that,if and when "some" of this obodo oyibo people come back, they CANNOT afford to pay for the good things they are used to because YES,their power no reach.obodo oyibo or not. 3 bed flat in choice area,security,diesel,fun for family,education, food stuff you guys get at peanuts in ala bekke,we pay dearly for here sooooo,when some people come back with their few pennies and bloated head,they see themselves relegated to the background in dirty hoods.
Personally, I think its only the poor in Naija that envy or even get time for ndi obodo oyibo. Enough activity dey lekki/chevron/banana island/ikoyi/VI for home based peeps that know what's up.
People wey hold pepper for Naija no dey go siddon for any embassy much less get flogged,they have PA's that get their travel itinerary sorted.

Long story short: wherever one finds him/her self,shoe get size and all fingers won't ever be equal.

collynzo2: Such a sad story. Someone was killed in the US last week by 2 kids just because they were bored. I am sure the person's brother now hates the US and will disown it if given the opportunity.
