Schoolshooter:
You think say reddit na nairaland


You never see chumchin


90% of people on R/Nigeria are diasporas , kids living in and out of Nigeria, foreigners and Nigerians in Nigeria that are feminists , atheists or misandrists

if you talk this one for Reddit them fit report your account

The original post is DUMB. Your reply to the post is equally DUMB!

UK is bad! UK is bad!!

Yet the idi.ot in the original post has lived there for 15 years.

Why didn't he come home?

He complains about low wages and household debts. That's to show you how dumb he is.

Household debts mean there is a system of credit in place to help households meet their needs when they cannot afford it.

That's a fucking privilege!

If you cannot afford something in Nigeria, you are on your own. Owing people or company in Nigeria gets you treated like a criminal.

ALSO, you idiots need to get your shallow mind re-trained.

Not everyone travels for MONEY or greener pasture or whatever. People just want to live in a society that works. In a fucking sane country.

For instance, the quality of air in some countries are a 100X better than what you get in Nigeria.

ALSO, imagine a nice and dilligent worker in Nigeria got promoted. He throws a party to celebrate his new promotion.

He bought drinks and a little slab of beef.

Little did he know that the expensive drinks he bought were made with gutter water by criminals in Aba.

But that's not all. Not even by a long shot.

Turns out the beef he bought came from a cow that died of mysterious illness.

He discovered all of this AFTER the fact. But this is Nigeria and he has to suck it up. He will get no recompense.

Oh, and remember the promotion he is celebrating?

Funny thing just happened. Turns out the BOSS of his boss has a nephew who just graduated from Benue State Polytechnic.

So, no more promotion. Nepotism first, then maybe merit later.

This is Nigeria. This is what people want to escape.

In fact, anybody who complains about people wanting to JAPA in 2024 will find themselves in a close embrace with a Dangote truck.

chairman, I really can’t forgive myself for that , I’m not even concerned about the downvotes, but the fact that those folks will think I’m defending/supporting APC really hit me hard.

You used the word ''Turn slave in another country'' that's a big insult to any UK indegenes it brings back the slave trade vibe. To a Nigerian it's also a big insult as you generalise and reduce there rep.

Lol...........that warm dirty air that will greet ur nostrils and lungs once u enter muritala mohammed is one the first things that will let u know u have entered a very weird place.....

harsysky:

Nothing is wrong with your comment except where you mentioned "slave". When one does a job and gets paid, appreciate them; it puts food on the table and does a lot--that which you tag as "slave". Ask yourself this simple question: The way we downgrade people who do menial jobs, is it the same way the westerners do? I remember here in Naija, cleaners are sent to buy food and other stuffs simply because they are cleaners. I would have also down-voted you, so that you would learn to mind your business as this world na "OYO- on your own", abi na you dey feed them?

the bolded , that’s true , thanks

What's your definition of doing fine in Nigeria?

Just have money, that's all

Despite all of these negativity in the UK the Motherfuka lived and survived for over 15 years in the UK

Oga anybody that want to japa let them japa, na poor people dey always advise the rich, na people wey dey abroad dey always devise people not to come over but yet themselves won’t come back home

Not that I favour the UK, but if I ever want to japa I will focus my attention on these Scandinavian countries, Germany or Russia sef

Uk, Us is saturated and over rated already

Reddit no be nairaland. I dey expect igbos to go and be bragging there.

It is one of the most unrealistic Nigerian social media spheres. I still cannot forget most arguing that many Nigerians have refrigerators where they store their foods with 24/7 electricity. All in a bid to appear to foreigners, especially white people, that the country is prosperous. Any diasporan who wants to better understand Nigeria for what it is and Nigerians for who they are should stick to Nairaland. I don't say this because I am a member, but because it is the truth. You learn about Nigeria(ns) from Nairaland. For instance, the comment above mine has gone tribalistic even though the original post and previous commentators did not mention an ethnic group. This should tell you that the average Nigerian is a tribalist who will invoke tribal slurs and words if push comes to shove. So, don't expect people to shine their 32 always. You won't learn that on Reddit.

Also, the OP would have gotten more introspective and broader comments if it asked on Nairaland as those who left recently (they know Nigeria better than him wey don siddon put in the UK for 15 years) are domiciled here. How can he know why Nigerians are fleeing by asking on a forum where the majority don't reside in Nigeria? People who believe Nigerians don't "warm" their soups? What do they know about Nigeria? I bet they cannot point Kogi on the Nigerian map.

This is the problem with certain diasporans who don't keep up with Nigerians from a broader perspective. That is why when they return (assuming they do rather than siddon put for 15 years), they live in certain areas and demand certain perks without understanding the system. They will live in Lekki and begin to scream tHe cOuNtRy iS eXpEnSiVe yen yen yen!
