My father owns apartments, lemme check with him Cool
I think Ossis too as well, if im not mistaken Grin

ahahahaha its on front page, get read

platinumnk:

Dammm u too !!?? I thought I was the only one

I still say you guys are lyin to yourselves in Nigeria! How come there are 3 pages that assert us as love-peddlers or Janitors?

Since when?

If being a Janitor earns enough to drive a Range Rover, then hell Im in the wrong field

Please tell me what opportunities? Kidnappers? Armed Robbery?
Why are our graduates roaming the streets?

People do menial jobs everywhere . . and do I need to tell you the same about kidnapping and armed robbey?

I'm not claiming that the standard of living inNigeria is ideal, but like I pointed out earlier, a lot of people have better opportunities here than you do over there!

Nigeria is a country where only the strong survive as opposed to the easy come easy go way of life over there!

If you were in Nigeria, chances are that you wouldnt be where you are today but there are people even younger than you are, living in Nigeria, who are doing way better than you are.

Aqva:

Is that how u left? It's shameful. I have a 5yrs UK visa, 6mths US visa and a German visa on my P right now yet i'm at my cozy office in Asokoro.
Too bad u had to go through that process.

Your hometown and family must be backward. If a McDonalds staff is their shinning star, i pity una.
With my fab life, i'm still a smallie in the family.

She wouldnt know because she interracts with semi illiterates who see her as their shinning star.
You're living in the dark ages. You probably are running from immigration. Come home and see life. You're wasting away.
You might return at 60yrs with just 2 suitcases and realize u've wasted your life.

That includes you.
You are sounding so defensive there so obviously the shoe fits.
You are the typical Nigerian that frequents all the embassies looking for a visa to go to Gabon sef Grin
Persin we go Gabon go abroad?

Aqva:

You probably have seen a Range Sports from afar, i use one.
I would scan my passport pages and put it here for u.

Biko be quiet
How many people have jobs in Nigeria talk less of reasonable ones
what fraction of the population is that?
If Nigeria was all that how come many of you looking for ways to escape.
Why do you bring your 10 month pregnant wives here to have US citizen babies?

platinumnk:

Again- which kind opportunites?
Please be frank,  instead of spreading fallacies with no proof.
I know doctors who went home and came right back,I have friends who is leaving medical school in nigeria to come her to enroll. What opportunities?

My brother got sick in Lagos, and the doctors wanted to cut his appendix?
Please!!! Dont make me laugh!

Why is Nigeria so crappy? Not even AC in Lagos airport unless you go to their first class lounge?
_{Which is off the chain}  
So from your assumptions, I am not strong, and I wouldnt be where I was unless I lived in the US.
Proves you dont know me at all at all?
you think US handed my money through my window? What kinda nonsense are you talking?

Only the Strong with will survive in the US also? you think Obama is sending everybody checks?
Do I school and work hard?
Come again?
You making yourself look bad

And all you haters, hating on pple doing menial jobs - listen. I have an uncle, when he first came here, he suffered - worked odd jobs, ihop, mcdonalds, wash plates, delivered newspapers etc etc name it you did it - he suffered initially, but now he is LIVING LARGE - seeing the fruits of his labor. Has multiple houses, cars and those vanities that you pple consider success.

In naija, you will see our graduates roaming the streets in search of jobs etc, no need to talk bout basic stuff like water, light, security, internet etc etc.
To each his own sha. Just stop hating ya'll.

My purpose of posting this thread has been derailed by a few 'children'.

Let me bring this back into perspective.

Original question was ' why all the abuse from our brothers and sisters back home when all we are doing is trying to contribute to the political and economic progress of our country '.

But for those abusing Nigerians back home, no matter what you cannot tell me you do not miss home.

I travel home now and again and was their last year Easter. To be honest I did not want to come back to the UK despite having a well paid job with a beautiful family .

In fact my children were very overjoyed and told me on the first day we arrived, we love Nigeria.

This has nothing to do with wealth or status but simple things like the warm weather, good food and family plus plenty of space to enjoy.

Obviously there is high crime but if you submit a humble appearance and avoid bragging you are safe but mostly by God's grace.


Secondly, for those of you back home making empty boasts, let me ask you with all your wealth what have you done to improve the lot of Nigeria? In the midst of so much poverty does it make you feel better to drive a Benz or range rover? Is that the criteria you use to measure the success of Nigeria?

It is people like you that make Nigeria what it is today, flaunting money around, some of it ill gotten wealth to prove how much better you are then others.

Most of you travel abroad and all the crap means nothing

Please lets all join hands and contribute to the welfare of our nation or should we say respective to be nations, lol.

Aqva:

We're not saying naija is developed, far from it.
We're saying most of us educated peeps who work hard in Naija are better off than 90% of our contemporaries abroad.

We're very comfortable while most of you slave inside the cold, are paid minimum wage, run from immigration, leave in cheap apartments with no heating, buy stuffs from 99p shops and JC Penny.

When u see some of us who come for hols, u pple always beg us to drop small thing before returning home.
Granted, 10% of u live well but that 10% are serious hard working professionals or criminals and wont have time to chat trash on NL.

Lol. FALSE!

You are required by forum rules to state your location in your profile



I am becoming an old man.  

I am always amazed when people point to individual lives (e.g I own 10 houses and have 10 visas) to prove they are better off, without any reference to how their environment has improved because of their input. Is it that Nigerians are so personally focused or because the nation is so messed up that the only option is to look inwardly at your self/family?
