This thread is created out of my observations. I have in different occasions pleaded for help from members of this forum and the help usually come from Nigerians based abroad. I don't know them and they don't know me but they still reach out to help. This is so unlike Nigerians based in Nigeria. In Nigeria, a rich neighbour may hear you are sick to the point of death and need money for survival, instead of reaching out, he may not even send you not to talk of helping you. I remember during my undergraduate days, I had challenges paying my fees and made a post on this forum, the person that helped me out is abroad based Nigerian. Is it that they take their minds back to how it was with them when they were in the country and therefore see the need to help those who are still trapped in the 'cage'? I'm just confused over what could be their reasons. A typical Nigerian based in Nigeria no matter how rich he is is not nice, merciful to others.

Meanwhile, if you are abroad based and you have been sending money back home to help people, what is/are your reason(s) please?

Lalasticlala, what do you think?

Our weather, our worthless currency and our work

It happens when the environment is too merciful to you, you can't but repeat same to others.


Despite the situation around, Nigerians at home are equally trying to be kind as they can afford.

Simply because Abroad is merciful and calm while Nigeria is harsh and hostile.

Hmmm.

It depends. They can be very wicked if they smell foul too

beggars step forward.

It is our culture to assist, we don't depend on government but ourselves to survive, that's the major reason we always looked back to assist at home. We back at home are also trying our best, but sometimes the little we contribute may not have more effect.

I don't understand...

Do you want to beg again?

Abroad is not that merciful but the government has different social assistance to assist the less privileged.
Do you know that, the citizen does not render assistance to one another the way we do in Africa.

Sad truth is that it’s not easy even for the rich here in Nigeria
Besides most of the things we see are not a good measure of wealth/riches
I’m of diverse opinion though Nigerians abroad stingy abeg!!

Better yet, Nigerians abroad are just Nigerians.
N show each other "brotherly love"

Where the Igboman is seen as a helper rather than a threat

Definitely not getting that in the home country

They have escaped the hell and are simply jus looking down on us with pity ... They know what it's like to b in dis country afta seeing d difference living abroad

Then that isn't wickedness, it becomes being practical, strict or careful as may be applicable. Who wants/likes to be a victim of fraud or foul play?

Op if you have a brother or a friend who's sorting you on a regular from abroad...
Be happy and thankful to God



There are alot of people who had friends and families abroad and they don't get a dime from them,
They beg and depends on Nigerians for their daily lives.

Nah

... Village pipu dey control home

Abroad na INTERNATIONAL matter

Bros everywhere rough

Better yet, Nigerians abroad are just Nigerians.N show each variety "brvarietyly hate" Where the Igboman is seen as a caregiver rather than a threatDefinitely not getting that in the residence region
