This is funnier than my favorite movie Mr. Ibu. Look at this one here. She speaks as if she is betta than anybody. Shoot child you is nothing oka. Nothing. How in the world did you get into that so called superior european school eh? Did your father scam you in there or what because no educated person would speak like this. Why do you constantly say that we flip burgers and sweep streets when you know we are business people, doctors, lawyers, professors? Does it hurt to know that folk are actually doing better than you think so you spread faulty information? Wow this is the funniest for ignorant post to be read.

i am so disappointed in u, such pple needed to be educated, cos she is surely not well informed.

Investement ? please leave that alone, there are more money in nigeria than anywhere in da world, skills, nigerians in nigeria are smart, so i am yet to know what he wants

He wants "us" to come back "home" because he is noticing that all these Chinese and Indians are coming over taking jobs and sending money back home. So wants "us" to come and keep the money in the "country".

the problem with this statement is maybe there are too many Nigerians with degrees who turn up their noses at working with their hands.


Nigeria clearly has a lot of infrastructural as well as technological needs.

Having a degree doesnt mean people should turn up their noses at working with their hands if need be. Thats one thing about developed countries and especially whites- they love doing blue collar work like carpentry, home repair,painting etc, no matter their level of education. They do these things as hobbies, volunteer work or simply as a way to unwind. Anyone assuming the big crowds at Lowe's and Home Depot are all uneducated people, is sadly mistaken.

Nigerians, on the other hand, would consider it a sign of madness if someone with plenty of university education, showed an interest in bricklaying or carpentry. If you are called a chief or have some kind of title, its even worse.

Achebe described this mentality in No Longer at Ease when people criticized Obi for turning up for a function in his shirtsleeves due to the hot weather,while everyone else was decked out and sweating in their expensive attire.

So are you saying me who graduated after years and years of studying to be a Doctor, to go to Nigeria and work as house maid? I mean what?

since u do nt have any plans to pay back the good ur country has done for u , then i never want to hear u say naija is bad ever again on this forum or any other fora.

I still don't understand why someone would think he's living a good life cos he drive an Honda and works in a Bank (which is what most guys who claim they're doing well in naija do).

and u Lepashandi, I see u're unrepentant in your love for using insults to drive home ur points. Please continue, maybe its one of the skills u want to employ in making Nigeria a better place, The Edinburgh graduate

idupaul:

I don't think it is really about being denied entry. Rather it seems more about being denied entry and taking it out on those who were not denied by calling them names and claiming they are miserable. ROFLMAO!!!

Anywho, it all childish at this point!!

I'm not in support of Nigerians abroad returning to Nigeria- don't get me wrong here.

I'm pointing out the Nigerian mentality of feeling too big just because they have a university education.

Being a doctor, lawyer or rocket scientist doesnt mean you can't sometimes do other things outside your field even if they appear menial. No one is saying a doctor should change to bricklaying as a full time occupation. But nothing wrong with a doctor getting into some other hobby either as a way to build his community or simply to unwind. there's nothing degrading in it and its not armed robbery.

In addition, doing some of your own housecleaning in Nigeria doesnt make you a househelp.

what do u drive,, see 99 percent of pople on earth will never own a ferrari, 80 percent will never own an aston martin, 60 percent will never drive a beamer or daimler, that leave sthe rest of people like u going for mass produced honda's , kia and toyotas, so my guy honda na achievement at this level.

This is one thing i hate about these people abroad - they think once you talk against them - it is because you are envious of them - refused visa? I have a permanent residency in the UK - dont you read my previous posts - i can visit and go to my home anytime i like - i dont have to stay abroad to wipe oyinbo woman's butt hole to survive.

Oka thank you for clearing that up cause i know for sure that for me to go to school to be a doctor and just put that aside had me questioning you for a sec. But i see what you meant by it.

idupaul:

Oka first of Mr. Paul, watch how you speak to me. I aint your child for you to be ordering me around. Who said that i would not give back to Nigeria? please quote me where i said that. And what has the country done for me? Did i not tell you that i grew up aboard so the only thing the country has done for me is. . . . my parents.

The point is this - the people who are crying and saying why should they come back to Nigeria - they are afraid of the following:

Afraid they will come back and begin again because they have nothiung to show for donkey years of living abroad

Afraid that those they left behind to travel have gone far ahead in life more than them

Afraid that they will be a nobody when they come back to Nigeria -

Afraid they cant compete with their mates who choosed to stay behind

and above all ashamed to discuss what they spent their time doing while they were abroad while their mates at home went thru everything to suceed.

Why will they want to come back?

And what has the country done for me?

1- the country paid for ur education.

2- the country gave u an identity.

3- the country fed u.

4- hate it or love it naija has been the biggest poitive impact in ur life.

I am making an appeal to Seun to ban all these so called diasporic Nigerians from coming to this forum - they think they are better than everyone else because they live abroad - forgetting people lived there way b4 they were born and even will continue to live their when they are gone.

Thank you for that great question, in the nation where i reside:

When there is a problem, i cld call the cops and i am sure they will be there within couple of mins.
where there is fire, i am sure, i dont even have to call, they will know.
where there is a prob, ambulance will be dispatched and they wont be complaing of no gas
the raods are tarred and if there is a prob, i will call the ministry of works and they wont hang up on me till prob is resolved.
the children are so cared for, that every child matters.
when u go to schools, the lecturers dont go on strike for no reasons.
do u want me to continue?
when there has to be power outage, they will inform me, u know why, it is cos i matter as human and those are all theright of human and not be treated like dogs like they are treating pple in nigeria.
when you drive on the raod, some ordinary Pilot that is getting late for his flight wont be entouraged and making the mumu police to bang on your car anyhow.
Do you want more, if you do, lemme know and i will give u more.

naija.

I thought you have better reasons - shio.

Mr Paul, u are right to a reasonable extent, but most naija graduates now work in banks regardless of their disciplines and in my opinion, that's as fulfilling as working in customer service in tesco, asda or Tmobile, (technically, both are non-graduate jobs, naija is just so funny that they ask for graduates when recruiting for MTN customer service).

Like I said earlier, we have different value systems. Some people actually prefer working in Mcdonalds than in these naija banks, and it's entirely up to them, don't go calculating how they manage their earnings for them, okay?

Pls dont make a mistake thinking that i am anti- nigeria, i am a nigerian and will always be, however, let us join hands and be real, nigeria is phucked up and needs some changes, and till we all face the fact that it is not working, nothing will happen, now tell me what you enjoy out of all you have said since, you work in nigeria and you have to pray and fast be4 ur boss deem it fit to pay u your salary at the end of the month, to me, that is called slavery.
