tom28 - are for real.

is it that you are blind to what the majority of nigerians in nigeria experience on a daily basis.

honestly the way people view life is strange. and if your using peckham to view the UK - u are only exposing urself in a very bad way. London is one city in the UK and your using a run down area of london to compare uk and nigeria.

abeg please read up on some vital statistics and then compare, things like infant mortality, how many women die in childbirth, life expectancy to name a few.

I have lived in the UK for close to 3 decades and have never been a victim of crime - however I lived in nigeria last year for a few months - trust me the same ca not be said.

how does your oyibo gf react to you eating beans.If u start to dey fart all over the house na you know o

HAHHAHa I really now sabi say I no suppose to dey discuss with you   you see your problem? the English call it 'hasty generalisation'. How you quickly conclude say I dey live with oyibo? simple because I wan go look beans   Na wah for you o, for your information I'm married to an Mbaise woman with 2 lovely kids (i see some chicks face done change) and secondly, I have just been wasting my time chatting with you about these whole thing because I realise you probably haven't travelled out of Naija before so how can you argue your case better than someone who has lived in both Naija and UK? Infact i sure say the only oversea wey you don go na Cotonou go smuggle your used car enter Lagos  

Ok i am srry for my hasty generalisation but make you no blame me o! .The last time i was in London all i saw were Yoruba guys running after white girls and there were some of them just showing off to impress these oyibo girls.Anyway i have travelled to some few countries and i am not like you who just restrict himself to the UK .I have been to Benin republic,Egypt(during the 2006 world cup) the Ukraine,United Arab Emirates,and now the USA.I know thats not much but then anytime i am in a strange country i always sit down and observe the ppl and see the way they do things.My short stay with my uncle in the UK has shown me that the UK is a glorified entity.If not for the constant power supply i would have sworn that the UK is a nothing more than a replica of Nigeria.Abeg there are more better countries than the UK and for that old queen eating all my hard earned money is something i am not going to stand for.

ada24:

i would have thought my username would give it away as to what part of Nigeria i am from, anyway talking to u tom is like talking to a brick wall.

oh my goodness - u want to go down the crime route - abeg please lets start with what is the number u use to call the police if there is an emergency.

leave it - the poster asked a question and u know what each to their own - where a person wants to live and bring up their kids is a personal choice - but for u to start comparing the kidnap capital if Africa with a developed country is really stretching it

tom28 - STOP USING PECKHAM TO COMPARE A COUNTRY - I doubt every single city or village in nigeria is the same as lekki - stop exposing your level of reasoning

Tom28 go back and read my previous posts on this thread, I work for an oil company, if I include all the rig and offshore location I have gone to during my days as a service Engineer then the list will be unlimited and moreover if i include holiday trips as well then forget it comparing you and I will be like comparing Army and Boy scout with you as the boys scout  

tom28:

Ada when i mentioned Peckham i was trying to say that london is not all that of a paradise.There are lots of poor nigerians in the UK with nothing struggling on a daily basis and there"s nothing for them to show for their long stay in the Uk so what can you say about that?.If the UK is a comfortable place i repeat why is the OP complaining about life in the UK?

ada24:

there are lots of poor people in the uk - full stop, not just nigerians - are u getting some sort of joy from knowing your countrymen and women abroad are not "flossing" like u back home or something.

but a poor man in the uk is still better off than a poor man in naija - at least he/she will be treated in hospital for free and not told to drop deposit b4 treatment. i could go on but i will stop.

like i said each to their own

tom28:

Yes to each his own.I dont like the Uk and the English they are just too damm arrogant.When they see a black person they put up their long noses in the air and act as if they are God or something.And what i have noticed is that their women put on a lot of airs even though they are one of the ugliest looking women in Europe.

Low self esteem is your problem

Low self esteem is your problem

tom28:

Its not low self esteem.Its commenting on what you see

justwise:

yea, u see what u want to see, and when a white person looks at u its cos you are black

tom28:

Well it doesnt really matter what a white person thinks about a black person.I just made that as a comment and if you feel offended with that statement you can hit your head on the wall for all i care

justwise:

Grow up

Dis Guy:

On a serious not anyone earning that much that doesnt have a business or a specifically a house bringing in cash for him in Nigeria or anywhere else for that matter- e get k leg

Even illegal immigrants are able to build houses for themselves just before the boys in blue get to them!

erico2k2:

@tell tehm Bro, Everybody with his/her own orientation some make it some dont, its like the Gold Rush, I[b] know guys who have been in the UK &Us for more than 20yrs wiv no plot of land in 9ja,might be thier fault might not B[/b].The group of people you get to stay with when you first arrived abroad plays a vital part in your orientation,whatever they do you do.

Yoru_Igbo:

The thing is most of the Naija poster here are now in bed sleeping simple because internet at home is luxury in Naija and internet cafe has closed for the day. So posters now are the reasonable one that live abroad or the few ones in Naija that can afford the slow internet in their houses

EuroMeko:

Is that what you Guys use as a benchmark? The amount of land you have in Nigeria?

It's called priority. I have been in the US since 1986 and don't have a plot of land in Nigeria and I don't need one.

Just saying.
