Being in Chile, where most Africans wouldn't even want to be for the language barrier at least, does not just give you the right to calumniate Blacks like that. It's crass foolery of you. Your parents and the Igbos are Blacks too. Find those among them that deserve your vitriol and dish. I don't understand how being a front-end developer suddenly made you feel so entitled to insulting the Blacks' existence. Damn, we're imperfect but what race isn't? Damn, you ain't even amount to anything of indelible value yet, man. Olugbenga Agboola was in Nigeria when he made Flutterwave. Tope Awotona was in Lagos before founding Calendly. Severals of OAU and Covenant grads have worthy marks in the tech field. My friend, Anjola, left Unilag in 2019, before you even know of tech, and went overseas and has since settled in Germany—country heads and heels better than your Chile respectfully—and you don't even see these guys running their mouths in public, like one fat, mouthful, amorphous bloke who counts traveling to Chile as his greatest life achievement so far. Nigeria is all it is, with lots of room for improvement but if them born you well, roam anyhow in the Carribeans and south Americans or disparage them online like you do us, if you won't be a forgotten suya in Brazil, Columbia, Mexico, Venezuela, Haiti, Ecuador,... Dumbass, I bet you gather your latino minions on evenings to organize a moonlight session with storytelling tales of how your people in the East were hanging their genitals openly when the Whites came to them bringing succour.

I can understand that roads and clean water are probably too difficult and too complex for the Nigerian brain to understand but electricity. Come on.

tensazangetsu20:Damn, eff you bro, if you think we're all suffering in Nigeria, then you're capping. If you think we're all shits being Blacks, I bet my life, your capping is even on nuclear fusion chain reaction and antimatter energy. For all our struggles, I swear I've got friends living mad large in Nigeria, and none of them is doing fraud! I have access to some of the top guns (God bless Magician's soul always🙌🙌🏻🤲) in the field of freelancing, who now enlist for companies overseas full time and it's not even in programming. Around me are guys making some unfraudulent dough off the crypto world. AhmedXM is a northerner <30 y/o guy, richer than some politicians and he doesn't even do fraud—I beg the werey sotey, to teach me trading, he say unless I bring 300k, no less. I've seen guys doing so much to bolster themselves and the society, and things seem to be aligning. Harvard and the rest all came for Animashaun, but he settled for John Hopkins Medical school eventually, for their records and the mad cash that follows. Oxford kept on sponsoring Adebisi, even after he finished his MSc. Yeah, the economy is strangling for the majority of people, and I utterly hate our leaders and the state of things, but I bet some are perfectly doing okay. No be everybody dey beg. Omo, I don't know for you o, but I long to be part of the circle who will improve the status of Africa. I'm part of those who believe it will not continue like this for us, Blacks. I know there's no genetic difference in our brain's size or composition with the white, and thus believe we can still zoom.

Re: Memoirs From Chile by Gerrard59(m): 6:18am On May 28 |
haybhi1: This is a much more well-thought-out response rather than cursing Igbos even when Tensa20 did not mention ethnicity in his earlier outbursts. This attitude is very synonymous with Buharists (I am cocksure you supported him in 2015) and Agabadorians - when someone derides the state of things even without mentioning ethnicity, you lots throw the blame on Igbos. Sometimes, the person might not even be Igbo or even if Igbo, did not have ethnic bigotry in mind, but boom! Omo Igbo blah blah blah! As for your first reply, well well well. Tensa20 takes extreme positions on most topics, some of which I shudder at. But the intriguing thing is, after some analysis and debates, I later agree with him. BTW, another Igbo person (Kelechi009) has chastised me for holding the same position as Tensa20, so you see, when you go Ronu the way, it is distasteful. Although, I am not surprised anyway. I am very interested in the affairs of the black man and his world in general. I was raised to ask questions on everything I come across so I better understand how things work. It is disheartening that we no reach the rest of the world and time is not on our side, but na our population dey expand like elastic. Seeing how the rest of Southeast Asia, apart from Malaysia and Singapore, are riding to economic prosperity and India showing signs of economic advancement, na we go remain as poor people if things continue the way they are. Black people do have a LONG WAY to go in the general state of affairs. But this is something so many black "intellectuals" or "intelligent" black folks, especially those abroad (black Africans and African Americans alike) are refusing to question or come to terms with. This is where I agree with the bold part of your post, because it is not whether Oxford or Harvard (not belittling those achievements) awarded some folks with scholarships, then all is good. Or oh, we have our people in the West working in so so so company or attended so so so university or won so so so award, but how do those achievements correspond to the general development of those people's places. A few days ago, Tensa20 and I analysed winners of International Olympiad competitions and acknowledged that Indians are doing pretty well. However, since their intelligence did not or has not translated to the general development of India as compared to China, then the Chinese are better off. One's intelligence is over-rated if the person's environment isn't benefitting from such brilliance. tensazangetsu20: You see, this is something that pisses me off to date. I had traumatic experiences dealing with buying fuel, standing in queues or putting on the generators while in Nigeria. It was the first phenomenon I was stunned with here - constant electricity that has never blinked. For the very first time in my life, I know what constant electricity is like, not just for me, but for everyone across the country. Meanwhile, this invention one Faraday did hundreds of years ago is what we are battling in the 21st century. And it is something anyone, especially the female folks, who leaves Nigeria is mesmerised with - a system that works. The Nigerian ladies I have met here aren't interested in returning to Nigeria o. If here is too tough due to the language or cultural differences, they are aiming at the US either via marriage or pestering their husbands to move there. None is planning to return to Nigeria afterwards. The one I met recently explained that life is so easy and sweet here (just one month o) and she would find it hard to return to Nigeria. NOTE: None is planning to move to another black-dominated environment because economics and living standards trump emotions - no black-dominated environment can out-do what they have experienced here. Everybody aims at white men's countries. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Gerrard59:Heck, I only went through your first paragraph and could see where you're heading. Seems you've got a chunk of time up your sleeve. Damn... I don't even have this energy or time, heaven knows. I swear, heaven knows, but this last time. Just one point to make anyway: are you being intentionally daft or you choose to intentionally ignore his crass expletive on the Black race—are the Igbos not of the black race or how have I insulted them if their son openly calls us, Blacks, worldwide, fuuls—or you simply want to defend your kinsman, as his minion... because I don't understand where all these gaslighting and defense is stemming from. Now, don't you understand when people go about throwing words carelessly, getting unintelligently foul-mouthed, they risk their their people/clan getting roasted? If them born him well, let him go to any Black populated unit in US and talk down on blacks like he did up there, and see if he sees light the next day. Idiot who isn't contributing anything to Blacks community, getting the guts to denigrate the efforts of people like M. L. King, Mandela, Malcolm, Soyinka, Olayinka Olutoye, Achebe, G. Carver, E. Mccoy and so on. The unfortunate thing is before the year runs out, a headline may throng the media with a case of Nigerian moving drug in Chile, and it will be one of his kinsmen giving the Black community another disrepute, so his brother can keep calling Blacks fuuls. Lastly, I really wish any manipulating Igbo person reading my post can be open-minded enough to see I don't care about them in any way whatsoever enough to even want to hate them/envy them/think about them/their success/their shortcomings because why? There's nothing any Igbo will be tomorrow that one Yoruba or other tribes haven't already been. Absolutely none! I hope they see I'm only being blunt. And I hope it doesn't affect my relationship with them, because I know and have as friends; some non-manipulating, non-petulant Igbo guys among them. 2 Likes 1 Share |

haybhi1: Typical Nigerian, especially an Agbadorian. When one tries to have a discussion solely based on logic and free of ethnic chest beating, they find ways to engage in a fight. Thankfully, my comments show that I am more balanced in my outlook than you are. If this is how chest beating is when discussing topics, I wonder how the Chinese and Swiss would go about theirs. 7 Likes |

Taxes in Chile Back in Nigeria, if you wanted to issue an invoice, you would need to just do it yourself manually which makes zero sense. Here you issue invoice through SII. SII is the government agency in charge of tax here in Chile. After issuing the invoice you pay a certain amount 15 percent as the value added tax here. The thing Is you cant lie on this form cause even your employers depending on the jurisdiction they are in will also need that information for tax references in their own country. So the figure has to be correct and complete. When you issue this receipt, the system takes note and reminds you to pay the tax before the 12th of the next month. The banking system here while restrictive is actually quite good. For instance, with the most basic account you can have here, you can receive money from any country in the world. You only need to give the person the swift code of the bank and your bank account and they would send the money and the bank converts it to Chilean pesos into your account. I know it's a long short but if something similar is implemented in Nigeria with reasonable exchange rates. The exchange rates here are the same for both bank and black market, won't it help with dollar shortages? Also sending money from here is also quite easy too. You can send money from your bank app to literally any place you want. You can have a dollar account and PayPal and all of that but hardly anyone uses it here. People just use their bank accounts and they are good with that. 9 Likes |
