You have not seen anything yet. the agonies of daily life in Nigeria have driven most people insane, so much so that they cannot smell the rot around them.

kuntama:

Couldn't disagree with you more. If Nigerian immigrants did not give a flying f---k about their home country, none would waste their time and energy in posting remarks about the state of Nigeria. We'd just get on with our "fantastic lives abroad"
Don't you realise most immigrants yearn to return to their mother country? Do you not realise that an immigrant stays an immigrant because of what he/she percieves as inhumane conditions where they originate? If they feel there is any hope of making a difference/improving the condition, most would return within a blink of an eye.
Are you truly so blind to that you cannot understand that even being seen as a second class citizen is preferable to the horrors of Nigeria?
Have you asked yourself why there is such a large number of displaced Nigerians? Or, do you think they are all gutless, work-shirking, prideless and deluded servants of the white massa country. smiley

Thank you.

Do not mind the fooool!

So, after all the complaints and abuses, what are you going to do to change the situation? You guys talk as if other countries do not have their own perculiar challenges too! Brace up all Naija pikins, foreigners will not come and develop your country for you! The change must start with you!

Self-hating Nigerian? Are you a mugu?

Facing reality makes you self-hating?

Dimwit, the best person to criticise a group is someone from that group.

The best person to criticise a black man is another black man.

The best person to criticise a muslim is another muslim.

Jot that down in you exercise book and take it as lesson of the day, ok? Dunce.

Dimwit, who told you I don't see anything positive in Nigeria.

Do you have marshmellows for brains?

What disgust me most about Nigeria is Nigerians being very good at sitting and criticizing Their country rather than do something productive. Just by doing nothing but talk disgust about your country is enough contribution to the hell we live in.

Too many hypocrites. . .

Everybody saying Naija bad, Naija corrupt, Naija this, Naija that, But they are also contributing their own quota to the rot in the system.

People wey dey do good no need to dey shout or criticize. Your deeds will speak for you.

So, to all the hypocrites, abeg we don too hear una smelly smelly mouth.

Saga or maga whatever you call yourself, i don't have time to exchange words with you. I believe so much in this country and i don't have to wait for the government for everything! I work for humanity as a public health worker working very hard to change things that irritate me in the society relating to health. I don't know what you are doing but try a bit to start something today! I believe, with everybody's effort we will surely get there.

You are retarded. Who was exchanging words with you. You jump on a thread to condemn people for not "acting", I simply asked you to state what actions you have taken, and you are talking about exchanging words? Fooool.

slowpoke, so all you do is collect salary working in an inefficient sector? That is your "doing"? That is how you plan to stop corruption, area boys, corrupt cops, faulty courts, armed robbers, religious fanatical killings etc you are condemning others of not acting on?

slowpoke, so a lot of people on this thread working in banks can not also say they are helping society by keeping their money safe? At least their sector is more efficient, so they are doing more than your dumb arse.

Fooolish hypocrite. Halfwit doing nada but standing up condemning others.

I work very hard in the UK and pay a lot of tax that the UK pass on as aid to places like Nigeria especially for education and health sector, which funds your gaddamn salary. So I am doing more than you init?  grin

Oh! it's a pity people like you find yourself in the uk. I'm sure you are one of those illegal immigrants doing illegal job! Anyway, i have no time for bad eggs like you. People like you give Nigeria a bad name you see, you are not proud of your origin and cannot do anything reasonable for your fatherland.

From the bolded part, it simply means there are illegal immigrants like saga, maga or mu.mu but doesnot mean that there are no legal ones. But really, i dont understand why you crush that way? If you are not guilty you don't have to bother yourself undecided

You are retarded.

You think my kind of brain power would be utilised doing illegal job?

Cretin that thinks doing a job is his superior contribution. Example of the junk the Nigerian education system churns out.

Don't mind the retard. He obviously had no rebuttal to my slicing and dicing his moronic "contribution" to Nigeria, so he resorted to what every okada-riding and suffering cretin uses to compensate himself when his visa application fails again.

A slowpoke that would be washing my car for a few hundreds if I ever decide to move back to Nigeria.  undecided
