justwise:of course I've called seun attention to this thread mailing him ist. People like you that have never created any successful business in Nigeria don't care to say anything. By the way, seun started this forum in Nigeria, made money in Nigeria and it is this same country that is Killing business. Yet seun, right here in Nigeria employed you from your safe haven un UK and you still have mouth to talk against that country. If all hope is lost then I don't know why we are all saying we should vote right come Feb14.... nigerian hope may be lost for you not for us. this is a nigerian forum for nigerians and your views make u unfit to moderate travel section. |

helpee: Point of correction...Seun did not employ me, this is volunteering work, i'm not getting paid a penny. I'm volunteering because i support what Seun is doing. There are millions of nairadland-like website in Nigeria, how many are as good as nairaland or any close to it? Nairaland is doing well because of Seun's dedicated hard work and not because he is a Nigerian or benefiting from any Nigerian govt business program, he can run this website from anywhere in the world. |

justwise:now that you are in UK where govt support businesses, start your own forum with your narrowed hatred for nigerian and see how far you will go. How many successful forums have been created by nigerians in diaspora?. Even Linda ikeji is based in Nigeria. Which volunteer work? Seun made u relevant. He owes u nothing but you owe him your relevance on nairaland. Like you said, seun us not the lazy type that wait for govt to do everything for him...he is hardworking. A trait missing in most nigerian youths blaming govt for everything. Volunteer work? And you spend all your life on nairaland. I wonder what you are doing in UK then 1 Like |

helpee: How many hours do you think i spent posting here in nairaland? Not everybody wants to own a website or forum, those who have passion and the idea will do like Seun is doing. You just mentioned Seun and Linda alone in a country of more than 150M people, do you call that a success? Yes i'm doing it on volunteering bases and i know its hard for you to believe because there is no money involved, try it. |

JewelStone: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU That is all I am asking for: BALANCE. I admire your ability to put things in perspective and to recognise when someone is putting down your country seemingly with glee and without any kind of balance. It is good to know that there are many people in Nigeria like you, who take pride in your country and are willing to try to make things better rather than sit about and tear the country down. |

momoyama: If she lied about everything else she'd definitely lie about that. Her post about her job offer after 2 months, constant electricity is equivalent to me saying I came back from the dead in a developed nation. At that point anything I say is irrelevant. Either way you wouldn't understand. 1 Like |

maternal: Why on earth would she lie and say she only gets 17 hours electricity a day?! On my calculation, that leaves 7 hours with no electricity. Does that sound like something to be bragging about? You do not even attempt to be fair and balanced! |

momoyama: That fellow believes everyone that has a positive personal story about Nigeria must be lying, he has some serious psychological issues. Since I woke up @6am, there's electricity in my house, even as I'm typing this response. Why would I lie about this or my travel experience and job, what do I stand to gain? Even if I upload my pictures and Intl passport here, he will still be too ignorant to believe. Smh |

justwise: Running a country is different from running a company, you can't just give up and shut down a country because it's not working. Where will the people go? Everybody knows that Nigeria has issues that span through decades, but we can't just give up and write off the whole country. People are moving to Uyo everyday, youth corpers from other parts of the country are influencing their posting down here and they don't want to leave afterwards, life is less stressful, there isn't much traffic, people are comfortable and businesses are opening up. I dunno about other places, but I have it good here and my life is not in any danger. Maybe I'm lucky, maybe I haven't been around the world yet, but I've been to a couple of developed countries and I agree that Nigeria is seriously lagging behind in all categories of development. But its still livable; except in the north east. 2 Likes |

Re: Why Do Nigerians Back Home Hate On Nigerians Living Abroad Especially In The US by JewelStone(f): 6:52pm On Jan 18, 2015 |
momoyama: Not every single day, but power cuts happen frequently. The power situation is a serious challenge though, and I understand that it's worse in some cities than others |

JewelStone: I have always found it a little strange that many West African that I know seem to see the world in stark terms, with "developed" countries being so wonderful. Maybe it is because I have not been to Nigeria or West Africa, but I have been most places (All over Europe, Asia, South America etc.) and don't see "developed" countries as being such standouts. Argentina, for instance, is a "developing" country technically, but I would far sooner live there than most of Europe or the USA. I encourage you to see as much of the world as possible. I think you will find that home is not so bad after all. 1 Like |

ferdimako: I did not say that. I said large numbers of people migrating economically is not good. I said I would not migrate for economic reasons. For family, lifestyle or just because I may find a wonderful deal on a nice house in a foreign country I would consider moving, but not permanently. |

JewelStone: Yes the country will not shut down but can you tell me why govt after govt the same problem, the power problem is more than 30 years old. So all Nigerians should move to Uyo state to be able to enjoy constant power and security? |

kalimera101: Why don't people use solar panels on their homes? That would solve the problem of outages and is also environmentally friendly. I think the problem of outages creates an opportunity for private power companies. Does the government have a monopoly? |

momoyama: .. this got me rolling on the floor.. Unbelievable, right? in 2015 but YES!!!.. even some place in Lagos don't have electricity for up to 3 weeks some places do have regular supply tho but not so regular to have ice cubes in your fridge. regular enough to make your fridge cool (not cold ). talking of corruption and power supply we pay for the Power company to install their meter, we pay for them to bring transformers, they afterwards come back to steal something from the transformer then say the transformer will not work until a particular stuff stolen from it was bought by contribution from the same community Why should anyone pay for Electircity meter that ought to be given freely. My dad paid for 3 over 2 years now, we've only gotten 1 (even after paying) so many corruption story. when i was serving, the school i served with doesn't have enough teachers but because the proprietor knows people in authority, the school was approved by the education board. i suffered. imagine a private school with no Physics teacher, basic tech teacher, Economics teacher, there was a time the school doesn't have English and maths teacher (i am talking of teacher and not TEACHERS). i took Basic tech, geography, physics, Crs. in fact i would have taken maths (as a youth corper...DAMN!!!). they have their way of manipulating parents and students.The proprietor is only concerned about collecting the students money cos they pay a lot (around 160,000naira). school account is controlled by proprietor, no bursar. and once you raise a valid point, he either sacks you or delay your salary (but i'm a corper, so he can only reject me). i witness several teachers leave and i was bothered and the implication to the students seeing new teachers (part time teachers) every two weeks. |
