Lashist:

Im telling you what people are saying...these are my colleagues o...young minded persons that are social and know what they want...they rejected naija and are doing well...I still have cousins outside in Germany and they arent complaining like your one friend did. All persons i was referring to are there on their own(not mummy or daddy pocket). so your bored friend left US because of racism and came to naija that is filled with tribal bigotry and xenophobic attacks and you support him...hope she is fulani else if she nears any bush, they'd likely kidnap her. the disadvantages of being in naija outweighs the advantages so far. What she is running away from outside(racism), she will find it here. Also dont sit and conclude for everyone..your friend gave you her opinion and you already allowed her decide for you but want to tell me what to conclude on or not

Jeromejnr:


Oga..I never said she left because of only racism.

How many people leaving in Abj or Lagos have they kidnapped? Why haven't they kidnapped you? You guys should stop over exaggerating issues for everyone. Is it everyone that travels by roads or leave near bushes?

Nawa for you people o.

Besides, that your last statement, I don't even know where you manufactured it from.

Lashist:

You specifically mentioned racism as a reason but forget tribalism exist here and nobody will question you when you show it..nawa for you people o...your female friend was probably bored there..like i said the disadvantages of living in naija is more than the advantages by far...thats why your coutry's first lady wasnt around for over 3months. End of discussion

calcal:
God bless America.

A country that with school cert you can make $100,000 yearly with just one job.

A country where you buy a house on a mortgage without stepping out of your house

A country where you don't need to know anyone to survive

A country where you don't need to speak good English to make $100,000 per year

A country where education is available to anyone with a federal student loan, NO REJECT

A country where you are exposed to all financial activities in the world.

to mention a few.

I am not arguing with a frustrated uninformed unemployable graduate. You hate Nigeria so much yet your poor dull mind can’t work out an effective plan on how to get out.

You will learn the hard way. Most of you are born to parents who had no plans for you whatsoever, they were simply ffcking and you came along. My parents planned my birth and upbringing.

sonnie10:


I convert sometimes and it makes sense to me. Because I live in US doesn't mean nothing, that I should not have sense. Like, how do you expect me to buy a sofa from Ethan Allen for $6k? I could but I won't. That is money for 3 plot of land at Eleko off lekki. How do I summon the courage to take a car note of $600 a month (#300k thrown in the lagoon monthly, say who die?) when I can get a clean 2010 camry at the auction for 2k. I could but I won't. Gone are those days when guys did not have sense.
All man to his own.

Attached is a picture of the equivalent of 10 plots of land at (#350k a plot) Epe Lagos State. And someone is telling me that it is not ok to make the conversion

WeNoGoDie:
Please ask him why then is he still remaining in the US.

Jeromejnr:


Your tribalism only exists online for the most part.

I don't see that in daily life.

And no she didn't come here cause of boredeom..she doesn't even have friends to visit in Nigeria compared to the U.S.

Also, the disadvantages mostly affect poor people in the country. Not wealthy. You do know there are people who haven't entered a bus before abi? Maybe its hard for you to understand cause of different backgrounds. And they roll with people of higher mentality who are not given to all these tribalism crap.


Next time say disadvantages of living in a slum in Lagos or something..don't say Naija. Many people are not suffering what others are suffering. They don't even know what gen is. In the place I stay, we hardly even see generators or need gens. People here can hardly relate to all that Lagos wahala which I left last year. So I know what I am saying.

Person I am even talking of can spend 30k and above on a meal at an expensive restaurant comfortably.

Jaqenhghar:

See Olodo. Even when I was in that shithole I was never unemployed so I dont know where you are getting all this your loose talk from
Your parents planned your birth and upbringing. Who asked you? Who gives a shít?

Coronavirus1:
only 25 % of Nigerians are working class the rest are into one crime or the other so because they get money illegitimate you will feel that us is better I support the writer that Nigeria is better than usa in terms of living and paying bills.
but for standard of living in good environment America is far better than shit country called Nigeria

ibedun:


ILLITERATE!! STFU

WeNoGoDie:
Please ask him why then is he still remaining in the US.

Lashist:

Lol...be like you smoked something...lagos is a slum yes but you think most parts of naija is better than lagos?? check your brain cells...naija is generally a slum...you say you dont see tribal bigotry outside?? Maybe you dont see few occasions where igbos are ostracized in another state but what do you call the obvious scenes of fulani killing other tribes of both yoruba and igbo and any other?? check your brain cells again. you said naija disadvantages concerns the poor right?? What class populates naija?? Rich or poor?? do you know that naija first lady was out of naija for several months or is she not rich?? Are you saying rich people plenty pass poor ppl?? Why are the rich sending their kids outside naija to study even when we have schools with rich fees here ..check your brain again..you are speaking like a zombie...thing is naija is cheap for extremely rich folks and not hustlers..people that have enough savings can stay here in highbrow areas, dodge taxes and so on but the disadvantages of naija affects everyone in one way or the other...your friend is extremely bored over there...we have heard it severally that naija babes no dey get attention and toasters outside most times the thing choke her .. carry out a statistics personally..ask your friends outside naija who would prefer to come back to naija and start and raise a family and compare them to the numbers of people that won't and be sincere. I have done mine and none wants our shithole though they are mostly guys..my other relatives are married. Do yours and tell me . By the way no dey use your friend spending capacity judge anything...i have once lived lavishly too maybe not upto spending 30k on a meal...im not talking from a broke man point of view o...i have a small i run here while doing my career before you go dey reason say na one broke guy dy ff you argue

ibedun:


What is your point?

Jaqenhghar:

See Olodo. Even when I was in that shithole I was never unemployed so I dont know where you are getting all this your loose talk from
Your parents planned your birth and upbringing. Anyone who plans like your parents and his/her plans involves keeping his child in that shithole is a fool.

ZINIIBANKS:

But bro what did I say wrong to warrant this insult?

PataAlhajaKeji:
Ẹwa agọnyin is the main reason I refused to stay in the U.S.

Anyone residing around Magodo Phase 2 Gate - Shangisha area, should know one Togolese woman wey dey sell ẹwa agọnyin close to the Estate gate.

That woman's ẹwa is the reason I left Baltimore back to Naija.

... sounds funny but very true. The heart wants what the heart wants.

Naija till I die!

ibedun:


2nd class negro!

Patapata you are in Europe or US! So what negro?

Last on the list, bottom of the pile!

Jaqenhghar:

Where I am is no business of yours. You are the one beating chest because you live in a jungle. 1st class jungle citizen ....... Tarzan of the apes LOL.

Jeromejnr:


Lol...travel and expose yourself.

A lot of places are better than Lagos.

I knew I was speaking to someone inexperienced.

Bye.

ibedun:


Yeah, olodo!

Elebi!

Oya go and eat your 3 square meals and get lost. What are you people doing on Nairaland? Concentrate on your Yankee and get Lost!!!!

Lashist:

lol...werey do you know how many places I have stayed in naija??...so you aren't in lagos means you have travelled and you are well exposed..where do you reside in Nigeria make I know sef??abuja abi ibadan?...sense is very far from you o ...ask your friends outside nigeria if they will come back here and train their kids including that your bored female friend that spends 30k per meal ..when you compare finish, mention me..till then bye

MickzyDonald:
Oga, you are still re-capping this thing, high standard of living in us is high and likewise the pay is high also, compared to nigeria, the values of the money determine the price of goods that will be consumed, for instance, let a US worker swap his/her salary with a Nigerian worker and at the end of the month lets see who will lament the most,so stop comparing US lifestyle to NAIRA, US is far better than this country at most cost

objobj:



I don't think you know what you are saying in detail.

Let govt give me light, good road and economy, what I'm I going to do in the US? Just holiday in Disney land and come back.

ibedun:


I am really sorry for insulting you. But where do you expect the government to find the money to give to people? How much have you paid in tax since you were born?
People are having children left right and centre knowing that the country is poor and we are not productive. What will happen to those children when they grow up? Unemployment and poverty!
