Going by your username, its obvious that you were a med student.



Tips on how to survive the cold? Where to shop? etc would be welcome.

Congrats bro. Going through dis your thread and d pix actually made me drool. The Lord that changed your status will change mine too very soon. This country Nigeria has no plan for the youths nor d masses. Na d fastest way to leave dey hunger me. We keep hoping it will get better but it keeps getting worse. Ppl keep saying no place like home but in the real sense to me, home is where joy is and where people can boast of a comfortable life whether abroad or local. Home is where the life of the citizens are more important than anything. Home is where an average citizen can afford 3 square meals per day. Home is where security is well guaranteed. Home is where there is no huge discrepancy between the rich and the poor. Home is where our resources and funds are not being embezzled by our corrupt leaders . Home is where there are job provisions for graduates. HOME is where there is HOPE!! Home is, home is, home is, home is.................. ABROAD

Its not all fun and happy or jolly as you all think,most of us live with regrets, if only things could be like this back home we often say, because by staying abroad you are making a huge trade-off. The choices are true happiness and belonging or living in a functional alien society. The OP just moved so he is still tripping, with time he would understand that there is more to life than a functional society. Life here is good but it cant be like home. Home is where your social network is, a place where you are accepted, where you dont look different, where you can make noise and even fight if you like, a place were you can compete without having to suffer abuses and deprivation because of your colour, you can NEVER understand what home is till you leave home.
NO PLACE LIKE HOME, this phrase must have been written by a man abroad, because ONLY PEOPLE LIVING ABROAD WOULD TRUELY UNDERSTAND THIS PHRASE!!!!

Ajebutteroteh:


Can you start coming back home, if you tired of that country bro?

muteEcho:
A lot of people just like to talk trash about their country once they get out.
What have you done for Nigeria?
Aren't you encouraging corruption as well?
In traffic do you practice right of way? You'd rather curse the man in front of you for allowing traffic on the left.
Same people flagrantly disobeying the laws in Nigeria but will become incredibly obedient whilst abroad. Although some of them are goats still, they go abroad with their filth and disobedience. Just saying.. God bless Nigeria

PS: There are filthy areas everywhere, even in the states you have Ajegunle. It's good to admire the system that works but learn to encourage and make your country better as well. It starts with you!

@bold, Home is where there is justice, where there is basic amenities. Where you Dont turn against your family because of hardship or because your pastor says so. Where there are hospitals that actually function.

You talk racism, while their is tribalism in your home(what point are you then trying to make).

I can't remember the last time an Igbo man ruled Nigeria and you talk about fair competition? (What exactly is your point).

Finally, if you are still abroad comeback to Nigeria, if you're back don't go back.

Some people dont like America and they don't wanna come back to Naija.What a life!

Senorita123:

I quite agree with you bro but kindly permit me to list some points. Maybe u left your 'home' (Nigeria) a long time ago, things have changed here too, truly I don't suffer abuses and deprivation because of my color here but I suffer abuses and deprivation because I am ofe mmanu.. Chukwudi still refers to my people as Afonjas, Bola still called Emeka a flat head on nairaland, Ayo still called Malam Audu a gambari... Everywhere is full of tribal wars. What more abuse and deprivation is worse than a nation divided against herself? number two, I don't care if I look different anywhere, variety is the spice of life as long as I didn't drop my self esteem at 'home'. Lest I forget to remind you, Competition is no longer the order of the day here, connection is. Even if u come first in the competition, who do you know. CONNECT OR DIE!!!!! Those r d only two options remaining at home baba... A jobless graduate still threatened to commit suicide in d job/ vacancies section dis week... On a final note, I think I will prefer a place where fighting is prohibited cos I dread SCARS!!!!!
