A BRODA keeps complaining about US, yet he came home for Xmas and left before new year!

FrankNetter:
So, one of my good friends just received a lengthy ban. He sent me a screenshot. You guys should see for yourself.

PlayaOne is one of those people who came abroad and didn't plan his life. After years of being a "playa" while his mates were grinding and built a good middle class lifestyle with assets, he has finally opened his eyes on the opportunities he had and eventually wasted. Now ashamed and embarrassed he needs to make excuses for his successful or lack of it abroad. So now he's running around discouraging people from coming abroad, and blaming racism and everybody for his lack of success abroad. Notice he hasn't taken any responsibility as well? Is someone putting a gun to his head and making him stay in America ? I'm 31 and in Canada, all my mates who came here all own houses and drive nice cars within 6 years after arriving. My cousin who just came here 4 months ago as a skilled worker just landed a entry level job at a major bank taking home 2600 Canadian dollars per month after taxes. You do the conversion. That's a entry level position. And he has his own apartment and about to get a car, not to mention he has the luxury of living in a country that provides everyday amenities (running water, constant neppa,etc). How many 31 year old can accomplish this in naija in 4 months unless there papsi was one big politician stealing money ? The funny part is, my uncle (his dad) was originally against him migrating here. Now he thanked God he did. He use to be one of those naija patriots (like playa), even he can say youths in naija have a future with a straight face anymore.

Playaone is a fool. Original onye ara. Don't mind him. Come abroad and you will not regret it, I promise you! Your destiny is literally in your own hands here, no bullsh!t. You work hard you'll be successful period!

we know baby, we know!! a total change of lifestyle and environment can be very exciting you know! so, you have to understnd from his own angle. You will feel the same if you moved to central europe (norway, sweden, denmark), life and environment in these places are far far better than what you get anywhere in the US.

You just said everything I have in mind.Many years ago,some of my relatives will come back from obodo oyinbo,dey will tell me America no easy o,too much tax,too much work,too much stress,bla bla bla.For my korokoro eyes,they will buy houses,import cars of different types,containers coming in to naija every 3 months,and they keep saying America no easy.
One day,I told myself,let me also go and experience the "e no easy life" without letting them know am coming...
Am enjoying the "e no easy life better than my bank work of almost 10 years.....

If you are talking about Racism in America,what about Nepotism and Favouritism In Naija.#Think..

Difficult to choose hah?

Playa0ne:


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!!!!

CFCman:
Yes

FrankNetter:
Isn't it just funny how much seun and his mods are trying to forcibly step on a peoples right to self determination? And someone would have the guts to come here and talk about tribalism not being an issue in nigeria, that its "mere banter", its only online.


I am disappointed, really.

Bossman:
As others said, this is a country that rewards hard work and education. No, it's not easy. But if you can get the required education, and you are hard working, you will succeed. The system is well structured, so you do not have to make tons to buy a modest home and live comfortably. As a software developer that works downtown Chicago, I take the train into the city daily on weekdays for work. I come across tons of tons of Nigerians/Africans doing the same thing. Working in corporate America and commuting into the city from the suburbs. The opportunities are here. You just have to take the bull by the horn and go after it. OTOH, there are tons of Nigerians that are not doing the right thing and find themselves in unfortunate situations. Heck! Majority of the cab drivers in the city of Chicago are Nigerians/Africans, and most of them are doing okay as well.

lakesidepapa:


Well said! Education this, education that. I had my first degree and i don't wish to further anymore for second degree but I got a skill of fork-lifting and little experience, Is the system okay for people that have vocational skill?
