Its wisdom. some, not all, gain wisdom and class from interacting with people who act more civilized. you learn how to be composed, you learn how to be independent as opposed to looking for houseboy and housegirl, you learn how to keep your voice down,. all in all you learn how to be a better person. so that makes you superior to the average savage brutish person who has never left nigeria. yeah i said it

speak for yourself, i reckon thats your only respite if you were overseas.
you are prolly a spiteful phuck who's envious of your fellow men cause you lack basic education or the ability to earn an honest living

Afam4eva:
If anything, i think it's because those at home have inferiority complex and feel they have to hear from the guy that lives abroad before they go ahead with an action

Seconded.

I just hate that inferiority and superiority ish.

I sincerely do

Don't take it personal, he has only asked a simple question out of observation. He hasn't accused anyone.

The dishwashers, toilet cleaners and asylum seekers are the ones with this mentality. just as some poor men feel superior and talk down the rich too in Nigeria

Embarrassing you by posting rubbish on your wall is uncalled for

lol you got to be kidding me, where is the question in that? and i wasn't directing my above rant at the owner of the post but at some twerp that said that nigerians overseas are only good for washing dishes and corpses

This post is a tard bit loose ended and stereotypical. It depends on the country you refer to as abroad, Nigerians can't change their skin colour so it makes no sense for anyone to feel superior or inferior to those living in Nigeria. But I will tell you why most Nigerians wait for the man abroad to have his say on the matter. He lives in a differently structured society and therefore would likely have an out of the box approach. The African wise man doesn't make decisions till he has thought thoroughly about it and heard what every adviser has to say before passing judgement. In most places, no one would take the man in diaspora's say seriously if he wasn't contributing wisdom to the matter at hand. Let's not forget that Rwanda and Somalia are also abroad countries too. If the Nigerian thinks his brother in those countries feels superior to him, then there is definitely something wrong in his head.

You travelled to Russia, and you came back with a British accent. God is watching you. Things from abroad are not from above.

Probably, it's the guys at home who are breeding the inferiority complex.

The guy out there for all you care is also hustling to keep body and soul together. Yes, when he breaks his GBP or USD to Naira, it makes sense to see the big boy in him arise

But not enough to make my brother at home cringe in self-defeat!

God bless Nigeria

Mogidi:

How did washing plates overseas and doing prostitution count as smart?

grow up dude not everybody abroad wash plates

There is no way a guy living abroad will not be smarter than guys at home
high level of competition among Nigerians abroad(am gonna make it first)
you have to be smart because you dont have family(you are on your own)
Immigration problem,....you have to be very smart to avoid this,am gonna get paper first,arrangee things,using someone else passport to go outside
Sugar mummy things
If you no get pali and you get sick,you are on your own
if you no get pali and you see police you no run,you are on your on
A situation where person wey help you get job go dey demand for 30 percent
money and money and money things
apartment things and bill things
you just have to be smarter,remember mama will only welcome a kid who brought cash home
YOU GO PAY PERCENTAGE DIE if you dey abroad

No one can make you inferior without your consent!

because nigerians at home allow them to feel important by asking for dollars, pounds, gifts and stuffs..

simple..

INTERESTING TOPIC. JUST LOOK AT YOUR BEHAVIOR WITH YOUR VISITORS WITH LIGHTER SKINS AND HOW THEY'VE BECOME KINGS OF THE MANOR AROUND YOU. WILL YOU ALLOW FAMILY MEMBERS LIKE THAT TO MAKE IMPORTANT DECISIONS THAT WILL AFFECT ALL? YOU BE THE JUDGE

living, surviving and pushing on in countries where 98% quote me 98% wanna go, live and spend a life


that is your answer Op

McStoic:
Talking abt ignorance, the fact that a person stays abroad doesn't bestow on him an avalanche of knowledge on every leasing and tenancy laws. Go thru my post again for better judgement. I am talking about him giving consideration to the family ties entrenched in our lifestyle. At least the visitor could be a friend who just got DEPORTED or a brother who just got a new job in town and needs some months to figure himself out. That could be obtainable abroad but am talking of Nigeria!! Most of these 'akata' folks lived their earlier years in Nigeria but easily shed off the norms they grew up in cos of abroad mentality. SMH.

because they are wiser and ffound out that those norms are actually killing. How many of those you helped actually looked back or respond when you need them

Because those at home have inferiority complex.

The real question is.... Why Do Some Nigerians at home Have inferiority Complex Over Those abroad?

donnypool:


common nah, some Nigerians like myself don't wash dishes.

So Mr what are ya doing? mopping floor in MacDonald or straffing old folks for a living?

am not 1 of them shaa..

you are speaking for your self. Obviously your level is very low . with all the money they send home every year they must be executive beggers

tpia5:
Why is deported in caps?

It's because of inferiority complex thing

You become inferior when someone sounds smarter than you. It's a social norm.

That's true but family matters must be handled with care.

This also bring my advice to the president- elect Mohammed Buhari, BECAUSE those who school or grow up abroad see them self as real human being cos there parent steal money or stay in public office in Nigeria why they send children oversees and they do rubbish while in office, eg they throw any thing at us like STRIKE IN SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES, NO ELECTRICITY, BAD ROAD, UNEPLOYMENT, INSECURITY JUST TO MENSION but few, all this things they throw at us and even make gust of us when talking with there families oversees, this is why those living abroad see them self's as superior than you that is here HOW CAN THIS STOP.
My advice to the president is to have a process in place that will curb and control those in public office from taking there children oversees why in office to school or to live there until they live office, if you watch well almost all public office holder family member don't live here in NIGERIA they send them out for the fear of being touch or maltreated inhumanly which is the other of day here, so why wont they see them self as superior, I was formerly working with AERO CONTRACTOR COMPANY I notice that if you are to be hired as a cabin crew you must be pregnant until three years as a flying staff even if you are married so this can be employed here in NIGERIA that if you must take public office your children will live here to enjoy your GOVERNANCE period so that those planning to enter will be guided.

You do know that Jonathans pose is highly regarded over here. It indicates attentiveness and respect. Which is why the military insists that a subordinate must stand like that in front of a superior or be charged with disrespect to an officer or non commissioned officer. They wish they could make their children behave like that but alas they can't.

omenka:
Haha. I think this question should rather be asked in reverse, like: why do Nigerians who've never travelled abroad feel inferior to those who have??

You get sense die!!!
