so you guys want me to come and boast of what i have done to people around me or to my environment abi? well sorry to disappoint 3 of you, i am not ready to do that (i did that not quite long on one of these Nigerian Division thread). I practised what i preach because i am not here insulting those abroad and those at home, i am only being neutral here and giving advises to whoever needs it. you don't have to be abroad to become sucessful (though you have more opp overthere) but everyone can't be rich or be comfortable because we still have poor folks all over uk/us and other developed countries. what you need is to believe in your God, work on your self, use your brain, carry people along, ask question, have an open mind and if you're destined to be rich or comfortable, it will surely happen.' I don't have time for useless debate about who's jealous or who's not jealous, about who lives the best life and who doesn't, you don't know me, you don't feed me, whatever happens to your life does not in any way affect me vice versa so why should i be jealous of an imaginary being? Now, let me throw back your questions to 3 of you, what have you done to Nigeria and Nigerians? (not your family members oo). I am where i am now by God's grace only and not by what the government provided for me or what anyone provided for me and i know those around me who are comfortable today are due to God's grace and their hardwork. If you are not hardworking, no matter where you're, you'd remain poor and starve except you are expecting the government of wherever you are to feed you (handout for those abroad and nothing for those at home). |

Now, let me throw back your questions to 3 of you, what have you done to Nigeria and Nigerians? - Lets see, Plenty. Go back and read my posts There is a girl here who lives in Canada and go home very Xmas to help out and give children thngs that they may not afford. Besides Aisha2, I havent seen any Nairalander that lives in Nigeria do squat. |

platinumnk: I always see this type of questions as "unwarranted" . . . those who live in the US arent doing anything for the community either. We are not obliged to do anything for our neighbours or community so why shld you expect Nigerians to do same? |

davidylan: Maybe you dont feel an obligation, but dont assume everyone is sitting on their hands. Whats her name- Hotstepper- She is VP of a wonderful organization that helps out in Nigeria every year. There are also Uboma Organizations where they have documented proof of assistance in communties through fundraisers. I do expect nigerians to do the same, what kinda life to be living while others are suffering in misery? It sickens me that in Places in Lagos there are slums directly behind nice duplexs. We can never be united not in a million years. |

Re: Why Do Some Nairalanders Have A Serious Bias Against Those Of Us Overseas ? by Nobody: 10:19pm On Mar 22, 2010 |
platinumnk: what has this thread to do with anything of this nature? Obligation to do what and why? Why should i care what you do and why shld it be a concern that others do something? platinumnk: and this exactly adds what to this thread? and this exactly is of benefit to who here? platinumnk: and this serves what purpose here? Why shld we care? Do you know what i do too? platinumnk: this is nonsensical. If you wish to do something to help others . . . do so but please do not impose your own ideas on others who feel differently. I'm sick and tired of pseudo-philanthropists who think trumpeting their actions everywhere serves any purpose. platinumnk: and this is exactly whose fault? Mine? platinumnk: err where does "unity" come into this picture? and how does your own "fundraising" promote "unity"? Did america become this great on the back of "fundraising"? and here come the railway workers. Just wonder why they didnt seem to show any concern to the earthquake victims in Chile. But that's by the way. |

platinumnk: You see, the difference between you and i is that you catch fish, share to those you think can't fish, you keep catching fish for them, when you are not around to catch fish for them, then there's no fish for them, mine's that i caught fish for them, after that, i taught them how to catch fish on their own when i am not around, now tell me, which one is more valuable in the long run? I can't come here and be telling you what i have done for Nigeria or for Nigerians so don't expect to know what some Nigerians on NL do in Nigeria, some don't blow their trumpets while some do, so please be civil and always know that some people don't think the way you think. Freiburger: guy, i am sorry to disappoint you, i can't debate with you because you can't think out of the box and you're obviously expecting me to think inside the box like you. sorry, i gat no time for that even though you're trying hard to bring me into this baseless and fruitless discussion. |

chic2pimp: My arse is fire-proofed. chamotex: He dropped out of Arabic School by age 11. chic2pimp: How is this bias? That poster was just speaking his mind about how Nigerians in diaspora can be fickle atimes. Both parties take a dig at each other so why complain? It's a fair exchange in me opinion. |
Re: Why Do Some Nairalanders Have A Serious Bias Against Those Of Us Overseas ? by platinumnk(f): 10:50pm On Mar 22, 2010 |
davidylan: David I was replying to your questions not the thread. I was giving examples. If we are not supposed to care about one another, what hope do we have for our country, seperated of not? Who said we didnt help in Chile, just that people like you were clamoring that we ignore the Haitans America did not become great by everybody face me I face you steez that everyone is one here honeric01: Your analogy doesnt make sense. If someone builds a school how is it giving them fish? Isnt it giving them structure so they can learn? i go home, Im not blind. Let me tell you why I brought this up: In a small corner of lagos there is an area where a small group of white people and indians live, they have that place jazzed up to the T. Even look at the LGA of Aribibia , We are not obliged to do anything for our neighbours or community so why shld you expect Nigerians to do same?- this your statement is shameful |
Re: Why Do Some Nairalanders Have A Serious Bias Against Those Of Us Overseas ? by chic2pimp(m): 10:53pm On Mar 22, 2010 |
~Sauron~: Well I see it from a different prespective. Dude was unneccesarily taking a pot shot @ Nigerians in Dispora |
Re: Why Do Some Nairalanders Have A Serious Bias Against Those Of Us Overseas ? by Sauron1: 10:57pm On Mar 22, 2010 |
chic2pimp: And i am saying Nigerians in diaspora have taken multiple shots at Nigerians in Nigeria. They have been dissed concerning NEPA, Mosquitoes, Joblessness, Yahoo-Plus and what not. You cannot accuse people of what you are also guilty of. If they take shots at you, take shots at them. Letz learn to live together in peace. |
