frosbel:see, once again you display your lack of critical thinking skills. ok lets see if i can walk you through this as if you are a 2 year old. ok so a bunch of arabs and indians see the opportunity in a land full of empathy ridden black folk. they come in to the country and start doing huge things. they develop the telecom business and all kinds of business. now, of course they have to employ the locals right ? kinda ridiculous to ship all their manpower from their own country, dont you think ?. and as is the case with capitalism, seeing as they own the outfit, they will earn higher than the locals. where is the inferiority complex in that ? or is this a new word (inferiority complex) that you just learned and hence feel the need to use it in every sentence you write ? |

See beef. Chei. See how Nigerians in Naij are dissing Nigerians abroad simply because Iya Charlie and Uncle Obama did not give them visa. Smfh. Seriously, the idea that all Nigerians abroad are suffering is laughable. Pick any bluechip company, FTSE 100 company, university, etc., you will find Yorubas and Igbo people there going hard, especially the young ones who went to uni here. Morafuckers are in city law firms like Slaughter & May, graduate roles in Tesco, Capgemini, xerox, etc. and they are going harder than a convict in jail. Hell, we even have a Nigerian MP in parliament who went to University of Manchester. F-u-c-k are you telling me? (Google Chuka Umunna morafuckers.) I'm sitting in my house, chopping rice right now and I know morafuckers in Stanford, Oxford, Allen & Overy, a Japanese investment bank in the city and numerous hospitals -- and I'm only 25. And that's the age range of the folks I refer to. I love Naija and all that patriotic nonsense, but don't hate -- appreciate. Imagine: person dey diss degrees from abroad. I'll take an undergrad degree from the University of Toronto over a "PhD" from the University of Abakaliki any day mate. |

buzugee: this buzugee of a guy it seems you really have serious self hate issues, if only you know what these indians and arabs think of black people you would not keep genuflecting before them as you do, i have worked with indians - they are pure scum , nigerians are perfectly capable of running their own businesses minus these scum, here in the UK asians ie indians, pakistanis have been given a leg up within the system and that is why they occupy better positions with regard to blacks here in the UK, if only you could understand how nasty and racist they are towards blacks you would stop praising them, we are talking about a people who operate a terrible caste system even amongst themselves , stop with this your inferiority complex addled mindset. Arabs hate black african people and refer to us as "abeed" which means slave they have zero respect for us, i have come across many of them in africa and when i see the disdain that they have for blacks it makes my blood boil. The reason indians and arabs feature heavily in africa is because they are in cahoots with our corrupt leaders, they bribe and scheme their way into our system and they are PARASITIC CORRUPT SCUM BAGS who will do anything to make money, they are nasty and exploitative and i would implore every african person to refrain from EVER working for them as they HATE AFRICAN PEOPLE, we african people are richer in natural resources and do not need them, we have the expertise and skill to run our own businesses WITHOUT them, if i were to become president of nigeria tomorrow i would repeat what Idi Amin of uganda did in the 70s and flush all of these evil parasites out of africa with immediate effect. |

@frosbel well that site is poo. sorry to say. i always apply not one invite they only invited me once to apply for P&G job which i did and didnt even hear back from them, equally i have an older friend with donkey years experience applied while in uk for the summit no invite. what some compnaies do now is that they are been tight fisted, they dont want to pay flight fare for people to come to 9ja for interview, eg. i spent close to 1month in 9ja just ofr BAT recruitment process, only for me to get back and the company who conducted the 1st and 2nd stage of the interview to invite me for an interview to come and work for them. imagine where they expecting me to leave my job here and be rushing back to 9ja for interview and paying ticket money again. moreover am not 30yet so i have to do my NYSC first to increae my chances of getting a job in naija as most copanies are hessisatant in employing without NYSC cert or exemption. there are other sites such as or ngcareers. i se those to apply for jobs but to be frank the probability of them calling is slim as only multinational firms that know the worth will call for either interview or assessment online or over the phone. the rest will either ask you to come to 9ja and do it. @poster i dont know your qualifications or work experience. 2mill a month is a bit over ambitious if i must say, but 1mill is still achieveable. however you can still get your 2mill. if you are extra packaged, education wise, professional cert wise and work experience wise. |

buzugee: The problem with yahoo boys like you is that they are totally detached from reality. So in your small mind, because a company is owned by Indians, Indians should automatically earn more than their Indigenous counterparts, even though the country belongs to the Indigenes. No wonder Nigerians are treated like trash by Arabs and Indians. |

lonewolf: so what - these so called "success" stories are powerless and above all totally mute- they are there as TOKENS and are usually consigned to the dead end areas of law which the white lawyers would not touch with a ten foot barge pole , they are complete and utter powerless uncle toms with zero say or authority and thats the way it stays until they leave the firm. I personally have more respect for a talented black lawyer who choses to work in an inner city law firm where he can be amongst his own people and seek to effect real change not sit in some corporate firm doing jack shi.t for his people and being content to pull down a six figure salary but still be treated like excess baggage by his white contemporaries. Slaughter and May - racist scum - the blacks who work there are glorified uncle toms who puss.y foot around their white colleagues and then go home to lie, fake and pretend to impressionable people like yourself that they are on top of their game when nothing could be further from the truth. Chuka Umunna - black puppet with zero say or influence on any issue that affects black people, if you doubt me research Dianne Abbott another black puppet who went before him, she rode on the backs of her hackney constituents to get into office where she subsequently switched from being a radical black activist to being a champagne socialist - hypocrite of the first order who has no interest whatsoever in improving the lot of the people whose backs she rode on to get to where she is today- if Umunna wants to hang on to his job i cant see him being any different. You can give credit to a Toronto degree over an Abakaliki degree all you want - the truth is your black face is the final determinant of where you will be placed in the grand scheme of things in the western world. |

@Cappo28 I am feeling you big time. We need to endeavour to change our medieval/colonial mind-set and start loving and appreciating our own, 'cos if we don't nobody will. Self-respect, showing appreciation where due, staying informed, getting the right exposure etc are right steps in the right direction towards self-determination and empowerment! |

cap28: For somebody who doesn't know me from Adam, the vociferousness of your post leads me to question the functionality of your brain. If you had taken the time to read my short post properly and then allowed the words to marinate in your head before tapping away furiously at your computer, you'd get the crux of the point I was making, which is: that not all Nigerians abroad are doing shitty jobs. Your analysis is simplistic (and I'm being very charitable here), because the dynamics at play for black people abroad is peculiar. And while it is accepted that we have less a margin of error in comparison to our white counterparts, the suggestion that we are "coons" or "Uncle Toms" simply because we navigate with caution or stoop to conquer is indicative of either a fundamental lack of awareness or a dangerously low IQ. (It could well be both, though.) Simple analysis: a black man who is activist cannot become the President of the U.S. -- as Jesse Jackson so helpfully demonstrated. A black man, who, on the other hand, stoops to conquer can -- as Obama as shown. So, that's the operational mindset you should adopt. That's why Tidjane Thiam is CEO of PRU today. You expect people to be fighting up and down like lunatics when Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. have finished the fight already? The civil rights fight is over mate. We's free now! Respect yourself morafucker, before I school you like a young one. |

buzugee: but you would say that buzugee, what facts are you telling us - that indians and arabs are more proficient at running businesses than nigerians, but that is simply untrue, these parasites are in nigeria simply because the regulatory mechanisms which exist in other countries are virtually non existent in nigeria, these corrupt parasites are attracted to places where they can exploit the indigenous labour force and make an easy buck whilst the compromised "authorities" turn a blind eye. |

cap28:see, the problem with you, cap28, is that you always add 2 and 2 to come up with 5. this debate is not about who is more proficient at running businesses. this topic is about 'the reality on the ground in nigeria as we speak'. and even if i decide to indulge you in your diversionary topic, the fact still remains that those opportunities existed before the indians and asians came in to take advantage of them. why didnt the locals see this opportunity ? |

Re: Relocation To Nigeria From The Uk 2011. Am I Mad Or Is It Possible ? by debosky(m): 9:54pm On Dec 31, 2010 |
@ buzz cap28 has a point - the inherent inferiority complex in Nigerians will often result in them preferring a foreigner to a Nigerian even if they are presenting the exact same idea. The success of Indians and Arabs is not dependent solely on their intellect or risk taking ability - it is partly due to the tendency of Nigerians to accept anything foreign before considering their own. While there is some truth in saying Nigerians don't take as much risks as they ought to, personal experience has confirmed the illogical deference to a foreigner simply for being foreign, often to the detriment of Nigerians. |

debosky: Inherent means that all Nigerians suffer from an inferiority complex. Of course, this is demonstrably false in so many respects that's it almost a fool's errand to even begin to attempt to assail your contention. I'll make a few points, however. First, that Nigerian employers, etc., attach more value to the ability of foreigners and their degrees is traceable, mostly, to the fact that Nigeria has collapsed in practically all respects -- i.e. educationally, systemically, you name it. Nigerian old G's tell the story -- as I am sure your parents do -- that things used to be better. While I accept that there are many smart Nigerians who haven't even studied abroad and are perfectly capable, as a matter of practicality, against the backdrop of how things have fallen apart in Nigeria, it's not difficult to see why foreigners and their degrees get more respect. Second, with regard to Indians. I don't think we should be dissing a country that is a major emerging market and is getting the business of governance down to a tee. We do not have the moral latitude to. Even the good book says something about removing the log in your eye first before attempting to remove the speck in the Indian's eye. |
Re: Relocation To Nigeria From The Uk 2011. Am I Mad Or Is It Possible ? by buzugee(m): 10:07pm On Dec 31, 2010 |
debosky:bruv, but the issue of indian and arab intellect is totally irrelevant to the discussion at hand. thats an issue for a different thread. if you go back to where this issue started out, it was me simply telling the OP that if he does not earn the same amount in england, then he deserves to be flogged for asking for such an amount in nigeria. then in comes 'frosbel', saying well if arabs and indians can demand that much in nigeria then why not the locals and hence i have inferiority complex. and i tried to explain to that midget that the jobs are being created by the indians and asians and as such they will get more than the locals (irrespective of the business location), and then the 2 local champions (cap28 and frosbel) tried to make it an issue of inferiority and asian and indian proficiency etc etc. i am not trying to evolve this topic into a debate about inferiority, superiority, hate, proficiency etc etc. whats happening on the ground level in nigeria is what it is. i do not know how it has come to be that asians and indians are major players in nigeria. thats none of my business. maybe some of it is self-hate, maybe some of it is the hustling power of the indian and arabs thats totally irrelevant to me. |

I am also returning to Nigeria in January, I got a job for N100K + accommodation , crazy, lol. My prospective employer said he cannot afford to pay what am worth. I think for me it’s more about searching for fulfillment, I want a sense of contribution. I have made some money in my life but still I felt something was missing, I tried studying more still no show, I think life is more fulfilling when you make life better for the next person which is difficult here in the UK, even the Oyinbo beggar thinks his country is doing me a favor because he thinks my country men in Africa (generalising here) live on trees. I know money is very important in Nigeria because it determines your security, comfort, access to justice etc. I was motivated to return after noticing that most of my classmate even those from worse economies as compared to Nigeria left the UK immediately after our studies (just concluded an MSc). I am a renewable energy engineer and I hope I can contribute a bit but this bomb thing dey scare me oooooo……well every man must die one day. I just hope I am making the right choice. |
Re: Relocation To Nigeria From The Uk 2011. Am I Mad Or Is It Possible ? by cap28: 10:24pm On Dec 31, 2010 |
lonewolf: Your response confirms my earlier suspicion - that you are not very bright. Of course we know that NOT ALL NIGERIANS ARE DOING SHITTY JOBS in the UK - even a new born baby knows that but that is a no brainer why debate the obvious? the real issue which i hoped you would appreciate from my response was that DESPITE DOING SO CALLED "WHITE COLLAR JOBS" they remain ineffectual, inconsequential and above all INVISIBLE in the GRAND SCHEME of things because this particular demographic are so few in number and so impotent that they might as well not be there in the first place. Of what use is it for one token nigerian to be a corporate lawyer in slaughter and may when he can not move an inch before taking instructions from some white boy who probably graduated from a university of lower rank than the nigerian lawyer and who is of lower intellectual ability ? let me wake you up to reality - the buck stops with the white boys - not with the hired (black) help - capisce? black "lawyers" who work for blue chip firms are POWERLESS - they have no say on anything and you know what? they know it, I forgive you because you are young, impressionable and above all clueless, you are still at the hallucinatory stage of your life ie you believe that you can realise your dreams in a white male dominated world, thats cool, but dont spend too long in this phase as the withdrawal symptoms can be very devastating. Now turning to your rather amusing analysis of how Obama "stooped" to conquer, let me say this - Obama did not "stoop" to conquer anyone or anything, it would be more accurate to describe Obama as an opportunistic puppet who is under the control of a group of powerful white men who actually run and control america. Jesse Jackson who you so stu/pidly dismiss actually stood for something - however standing for something and being able to effect change are two very distinct things, Jesse was actually neutralised and paid off hence his exit from radical black politics, Obama on the other hand stood for nothing and now as we can see falls for everything - why dont you try researching his background, try and find out who his financial backers are, find out how he won the elections, find out who the beneficiaries of his current policies are and then you will begin to understand how politices in the western world works. Just to go back to your phrase "stooping to conquer" what if i may ask is it that the black man has actually succeeded in conquering? If you are still living in a world where the majority of your people live in abject poverty, are subjected to ridicule, disdain and contempt and you happen to belong to a small minority who has benefitted from a few crumbs thrown your way by the very person who has kept your people in bondage for the past 500 years how does that make you a winner? |

cap28: Mate, relax yourself. Clearly, you need a red bull or a decaf. See your long essay -- all because you want to prove to me that you are smart. Unfortunately, you have failed. I still continue to believe that you are in possession of a dangerously low IQ. From your analytical skills, give or take, I think you IQ is about -0.000067. Lmao. In your essay, mostly, you do nothing more than point out what's already blindingly obvious. Other times, you just manifest characteristic idiocy. For example, you say this: "I forgive you because you are young, impressionable and above all clueless, you are still at the hallucinatory stage of your life ie you believe that you can realise your dreams in a white male dominated world". Again, as I pointed out, for someone who doesn't know me, you make some pretty audacious statements. You don't know where I am, what I do, what my name is or who I'm f-u-c-king (incidentally, it could be your sister or your wife) -- but you say you forgive me? Are you really this s-t-u-p-i-d or you are only pretending? It looks as if you had a bad experience in England. Did you get deported? Lol. Ode oshi. |
