I think we all have this wicked attitudes in varying degree, so its time we stop being wicked to ourselves. Same with mad attitudes and greed. If we accept the good that is within us, we can make a difference. erico2k2: |

Amalekki: There is crime and there is crime. I don’t need too much data to tell you, that: Racial crimes are more in the US than Nigeria Mass school shootings are more in US than Nigeria There is more insurance fraud in US than Nigeria US produces 60% of the worlds porn which has been shown to have causation and correlation effects on other crimes If after this you STILL feel the need to repeat the question , I will give you more data. 3 Likes |

Apus: My brother na those wey never travel dey talk say abroad dey sweet. The sense of emptiness can be very overwhelming. You are surrounded with tons of people and yet you feel so lonely n disconnected. With all the glitz and glam, lights and colors, beauty n cleanliness, you still feel something is missing. Me I couldn't endure it no more. I left. **Ask yourself, why is it that those who make the most noise about how JAPAing is the best decision of their lives, still actively search for things that connect them to HOME(music, news, etc)? 8 Likes |

TheGift: In Nigeria insurance is useless. No First world country can exist without insurance. I can drive my vehicle with piece of mind in the US because I you wreck my car,Insurance buys me another one and my hospital Bill's are paid plus money lost from work. In Nigeria you are on your own. If fire burns my house in the US....Insurance will rebuild it. In Nigeria you are on your own. Nigeria has zero safety net. 4 Likes |

That's good for you. But why do we, refuse to solve our issues in Nigeria, we are quite different from other peoples. I sense, we have something wicked about us. That we seem to be encouraging and also we are not united in addressing our problems in the long-term, since we have short memories and easily chaotic. We just want the remedy to suddenly come, without diligence and commitment or without establishing cooperation. Every form of cooperation, we sabotage it, bypass it, we do not have a strong believe in ourselves rather we want to wait for others, for something free and easy. This is my limited view. Maybe i am wrong, maybe we love ourselves and we come together and see how every person can be included in development, we work together to make little changes every day, every month, that meets positive goals in month, years, etc., a forward looking society, or culture. erico2k2: |

Of course that's a good choice. And yet it seems to agree with what i think, that we choose harm, we choose gangs, so many flee. Just like you, you saw an opportunity to leave a poor environment, which is dominated by a poor mindset, which hold you down and impoverish you. Since i left the country, they never take electricity away, and i go out everyday and have not seen accident, death, fighting, every thing is orderly and the people seems to get along so well and help each other, its a different world since i was coming from such a chaotic senseless environment. And again it seems migrants change the decent culture and sensible culture i witness. This means its the mindset of people that creates the society. we are complaining as usual how we do it about those who left the country, but we are not improving our culture or mindset. Which makes it hard to build within a community or to trust anyone or to build healthy relationships that brings benefits to everyone. Charity begins at home. What we want others to do, will start from the abundance within ourselves, let us be what we want and let us stop lamenting until the end of the world. erico2k2: |

The difference in Exchange rate doesn't benefit anyone in naija because we import virtually everything so in other words the money is subject to a higher inflation back home. 1 Like |

immortalcrown: Arguably the du.mbest post on nairaland. Some of you just write the first crap that comes to your head. There's no point explaining anything to you since you don't have the mental capacity to process the info. You must be grieving your relative abandoned you and you're waiting for them to return in their old age so you can feel justified . Clown, mention 5 people that you know that have left comfort for a life of misery in Nigeria. They all die within few years of return or quickly return abroad when people like you have taken everything they've labored for. You really must be thinking Nigeria is heaven, can't help your delusion. 3 Likes |
