wooooooooooooof. Fhemmy, I wasn't having any converstaion with you. I haven't seen anyone my age in my hood picking up a golf stick. I don't know about Ghana but in my hood in Nigeria, I ain't seen no one pick up a golf stick to play golf where? which golf course? The one in Bori camp? Negro please!!! And I didn't live on church street in Toronto plus if anyone should pick up a golf stick it should be gays cause you have to bend your ass, to use your stick to hit balls which might eventually go into a hole. Damn nigger, don't out gay yourself while trying to be like dem ones. Once again, I ain't seen no one my age or even 10 years older in my hood picking up a golf stick. I'm back in my hood in Bed Stuy and I ain't seen no jew or white or black or Italian, or folks in the Latin quarters pick up a golf stick everyone out here is real with reality. Goodluck with your wannabe lifestyle.

Re: Advantages Of Being A Nigerian by Nobody: 2:11pm On Nov 12, 2009
for the professional worker
- what can i say nigeria is a junkyard /desert/hellhole - if you can make it here (as a professional) you can make it anywhere.

thats the closest thing to an advantage i can think of

- for the successful politician, the advantages of being a nigerian are limitless

you get to hammer university girls
you get to embezzle public funds
you get away with murder
you get to rewrite your criminal history
you to drive in convoys with sirens

for the average /below average joe
- u don't pay tax lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

for the car dealer
the absence of any proper info netwrk mean u get to sell flood damaged cars at prmium prices

for the white colar criminal
you get to be feted by press and musicians, you live an untroubled life

will post more later
oh yep - for the company worker - you can get away with goofing off on nl on company time

As a Nigerian, there are no advantages if you live outside Nigeria. People are treated as individuals not by race, country or gender or how wealthy you are. lipsrsealed

Its amazing how we view generalizations of negative traits as wrong, and of positive traits as okay, as if generalization is not generalization.

@poster,
if you are part of the internet/media rebranding of nigeria, then i would want to say you are really your job well.
if you are not officially assigned to do what you are doing, then i would like to say you have decided to do other people's jobs.
since i have been hearing about this rebranding of a thing, this is my first time of coming in contact with a crusader.
on the other hand, i can see dora hiding under a strange id to do her work through this forum.
for me, the main advantage nigeria and nigerians have over others is that we are annointed in criminalities that we progress were others fail in crime.
nigeria can boast of high and low level criminal, young and white hair criminals, literate and illiterate criminals, repented and unrepentant criminals, elected, selected, appointed and anointed criminals, we have touchable and untouchable criminals, official and unofficial criminals, men and women criminals.
we are a wonderful pupil when it comes to criminalities.
please permit me to say our second name is crime.

[size=12pt][/size] HABA !!!! THIS IS JUST TOO MUCH OOO, for wetin na? remember the topic is about Nigeria and Nigerians as a whole? perhaps u HAVE LOST A MONUMENTAL PROPORTION OF ETHICAL SANITY BY generalizing your awful comments and remarks? The poster said advantages not disadvantages and pls dont come here to remind us the level of moral and ethical decadence of some sort of sanctimonious vagabonds living among our articulate and intellectually inclined Nigerians. Well, needless to say, perhaps u are indirectly defining yourself and the few people around you.

Naija is sweet in Naija u can have 10 million build a house and maybe a small car and if u eventually bcom broke maybe 10k every month for 1 yr u would still have a house to put ur head which u call u own. Try that in Us or some other countries u wont be able to pay tax again and u would eventually loose ur house.Naija sweet finish,

Re: Advantages Of Being A Nigerian by DOAweb(m): 1:04pm On Nov 13, 2009
Advantages - Please give me a break!!

@Fear of God

Are you having a laugh mate? gods more like and like the great man Fela Kuti said, it's all follow follow for the sake of the so called miracles due to 'abject poverty'.

@Respect for Elders/Parents

Not really mate, I agree totally with the parents respect true and true, but the elder thingy comes out more as a cultural thingy where the so called 'elders' feel it's their rights - Bull****. It should be proper 'respect from person to person' regardless whether elder or younger.

@Love of family

Human nature mate

Virtually all cultures of the world have the 'spirit of togetherness' in coming from the same family unit, so not peculiar to Nigerians.


@Abhorrence of debt

Lack of credit culture more like. Free flowing credit facilities would probably help a vast majority of Naijas to set themselves up for a better life and not depend on so called Miracles.


@Appreciation of poverty

Now you are taking the 'piss' mate - poverty is terrible! terrible! terrible!

, many nigerians know/understand what it means to be poor and work against it & this is usually responsible for what most people see as 'aggressive/ambitious' - they have NO CHOICE !!


@Celebrating

Cultural SHOW OFF mate - See me I don make am - Crooked or otherwise!!

abeg, if u live in the country that I live, then u must have heard of the ''equal opportunity monitoring form'' which actually does the opposite of what it's meant to do,
it aids institutional racism,

But programs like that are put in place because people who believe they are VICTIMS in all of it demand it.
Re: Advantages Of Being A Nigerian by Nobody: 3:02pm On Nov 13, 2009
And the truth is that people who see themselves as victims would act as victims. That is their choice but I can say that such a disposition would just prevent them from reaching their potential.

Advantages of being a Nigerian.

You can blast your car horn as many times as possible without anyone arresting you.

you can buy a trailer's horn, fix it on your bajaj bike, blow it as many times as possible

you can live in a one room apartment, with an home theater with 24 speakers, increase the volume to 100, play annoying music from morning to night without anyone arresting you.

you can own as many as 10 generator sets even if you live in just one room.

you can own a house with as little as 2-5million naira.

You can drive a car for 20 years in Nigeria even when there is no break, no spare tyre, no travigation lights, no side mirror, no seat belts, with no driver's license or car documents (if you know your way).

You can start a business without having to look for huge capital.

you can run to family members for help when you are financially down.

you can be corrected by other elderly people when you are misbehaving

you can give birth to as many children as possible even while living in 1 room apartment. (15 children is accepted)

you can commit any crime anywhere in the states, then move to another state without being haunted by anyone.

you own everything you have because you MUST pay for it before it becomes yours (except when you steal them)

you can become rich overnight without being asked to declare your assets (or asked where you got your money from by the authorities).

you can live in Nigeria without fear of many natural disaster.

more to come later,

All of the above is what we have lost in cities and towns due to Western Civilization, The people who have the fear of God are those that are labeled terrorists and fought fiercely with the so called aiming at "peace".
