Its psychology, the mentality of people who just came abroad and have not settled down is different from the ones that have settled down.

For those who came abroad recently its more about survival, relationships is not the primary need, survival comes first.

Its the same thing for other nationalities too.

grommet:


What I have realized in this abroad is that no matter how much you help anyone even if you did it out of a communuaal embrace. Some people just don’t like when you help them. The problem is that you don’t know if you are helping a friend or competitor anytime you do so

I observed how Indians will cook together take care of themselves, share with each other and advise each other i never observed fighting or drama. Very organized, composed and show decency. (I know Indians fight amongst themselves in their country but they act wisely and talk wisely outside their country, and they have wise stories, they always talk about, from their history and traditions.)


When i tried to associate with Nigerians it feels like i am being probed and its just unnecessary stress. Some are loud lousy and like fighting all the time, others are weird and feel like they are better than others. its better to just avoid unnecessary drama. Life is too short for self centred selfish ones.

It's a general problem.
More tragic is, more and more of the wider world know this.
And that's why, in some instance, while introducing yourself, it's wiser to omit saying you're a Nigerian at first because you'd be instantly classified and held in that light of what you and I speak of.
It's best to let your character speak for you first and until such a time when you disclose your nationality, they'd be like, " You're lying etc"

From experience, it serves you best for them to feel unsure of your nationality than to know where you're truly from...y'know, there's a way folks treat a snake in the house even if it's deemed harmless.

May Israel totally obliterate Hamas and every muslim terrorist in this world. May Christian America rise to realize that their kids in college are being brainwashed to believe the propaganda of wicked Islamist. May they understand that the muslims are not only after Israel but also after Christian America and all Christians as well.

Anyone who is against the people of Saturday, will surely come after the people of Sunday too.



Totally Obliterate Hamas in Gaza and return Gaza to a serene community like that of Christians.


In the name of Allah I pray, Amin.

Forbidden, but no one kills* you for praying in the Name of our Dear Lord Jesus.


Unlike those pigs, same as the ones we have here in Nigeria, that will claim to have Jesus in their demonic book, yet will kill Jesus followers for nothing other than just being Jesus followers.

Once again, a viper is safer to play with than a mooslim.

The Nigerian community that the op is probably referring to are from subgroup of the uneducated, the illegals, and those whom their presence in the West is their only achievement.

Life is way way easier if you deal with people who don't have all these problems, and are doing well for themselves. The top feels much better than the bottom.

The country where you'll find sophisticated Nigerians is Australia and New Zealand. To even immigrate to those countries, you must be highly educated, wealthy and a developed person.

Australian immigration for example is tough, you can't get their by boats, and it's hard to survive without papers, and it's takes so long to get there, and they share border with no country, which means you can only enter by flight.

By design, Australia has weeded uneducated ones, that come, on transit, asylum seekers, etc. Italy for example is the opposite of Australia. If toxicity is a name, Italy and also UK carry award. So the ease of access to the country is a factor.

In places like Finland where there was a mass immigration of Nigerians during their free education years, lots of unrefined people migrated and became a nuisance. So location and ease of migration matters.

I am trying to avoid Nigerians as much as I can. It is really annoying.

I housed someone for a year abroad without them contributing to rent, but it appeared as if I did them wrong by asking them for their plans to get a place.

The individual prefers speaking to mutual friends in language I don't understand. Infact 99% of his phone calls are in his local dialect which I do not understand.

I have every reason to suspect the individual was already gossiping about to people and it is quiet painful cos I don't know the lies that has been told.

Pay for people like a month elsewhere if you must help. Bringing someone into your home, your place of vulnerability is very dangerous. If they can't leave, hotel will keep them out themselves.

It’s not about Nigeria community in diaspora, the way of life on Nigerians abroad is a replica of how they live in Nigeria, their lifestyle back home.

Why it’s noticeable in abroad is because we cluster around each other and not much, but in Nigeria a lot of shit happens and we aren’t privy to know.

Re: Nigerian ‘Community’ Abroad is Toxic. by Focusmind: 1:45pm On May 11
Worse in Houston, especially, among my town union. Poknosing into people's private affairs, who is cheating and who is footing the bills. The cheating gossip is just too much, swirling like wild fires. Every town union meeting would be an opportunity to settle scores, with some going for physical fight with anyone that they believed must have gossiped against them. Then, those not wanting people to marry because of same gossip. It is the women sha. Me and my wife stayed in Houston for 4 months on a visit within our town's union circle but the gossips, back biting and jealousy we saw were much. But the good thing is that lots of people got their breakthroughs through their association with town union. You get certain privileged information, access to jobs and connections through the union. Just take the positives and throw away the dirts of association with your kith and kin abroad.
