blueseacats: Then this your (caliber of) friends are not whom this thread (OP) is counselling for. The people in question here are the hand-to-mouth (though able bodied) folks, who would happily go through what you over there think is "hell" mainly because they are simply after "earning a living" while your (the diasporas) own ideology of a career is already obfuscated by the natural trappings of wealth, after living in the west for a while An hungry man is asking you for a loaf of bread to sustain his soul and you went on ranting about the absence of cheese, jam, butter or coffee for him to gulp it down. Does that makes sense 21 Likes 1 Share |

I think giving someone a positive direction is very okay. Going abroad is a prayer point in many churches in Nigeria so if you guide,you are an Angel . A lot of great dreams has been killed in this country. There are a lot of responsible Nigerians abroad so not everybody is a criminal. People migrate from many countries to the West,even progressing ones not to talk of a stagnant country like Nigeria. Nigerians are strong hearted and hard working people. Most white cannot survive what an average Nigerians face everyday. When my cousin,a nurse first travelled to the UK,she called to say that Nigeria is in hell mind you she was working here before she left. The quality of life in Nigeria is so low. Oppression and impunity is also very high;police,army,agbero,conductor,passenger,employer,politician etc. A country where police flogged a Prof in law in public. A place where SSS beat school teachers etc. Worst of it,the govt cares not about the people. We know it's not easy in developed world but it's tougher in undeveloped world. We should not encourage anyone going abroad illegally but most people who do,has nothing more to live for. That explains why someone will travel to Europe by road,through the desert to Libya and enter a doomed boat. Until we fix Naija the painful exodus will continue. If anyone wan jand just show him the way and explain the implication shikina. Our economy is bad and Nigeria need the dollar. 27 Likes 4 Shares |

After 16 years in america i can testify that life here is truly a mirage. Nothing really belong to you here . i mean nothing . Anything you have , you can loose it anytime . You finish paying 30 years mortgage on a house. You owe some back property taxes .... That house is gone . r taken and sold by the municipality. Back home you build your house ... You can rest at peace. No mortgage . you pass it to your kids and grandkids. Everything na debt ! Acordind to the statistic sef 75 % of american are one paycheck away from being homeless. Living day by day . Time goes by so fast because you spend 2/3 of your life working just to pay bills . And for girls trying to settle in america illegaly.... I pity you. Guys will promise you paper use you and sleep with you left and right . i have seen it many times. As for me , i am planning my return . 3 months here 3 month back home. Save and build my business empire . I am a citizen. if things dont work i can always come back. I dont even mess with girls here ( i am 34 am i hope its not late to settle down with a local chick at home . when ready )... Because by the time one get pregnant for you here in america , you are caught up in the system. You will never leave. My only concern now is my student loans . 16 Likes |

bebe2: You are very arogant and harsh.my immediate younger brother who work at a good place in nigeria wanted to bankroll my expenses to dubai and also get me work there when i was 31. but i turn it down because i believe some ideas and passion i can make it in Nigeria. instead of being this rude tell people one or two things to do to get there. As for me start a sound business with the money to gp abroad is better. why go to a place and be second class citizen and be suffering. 4 Likes |

salford:unless the housemaid is stupid because if she is not stupid she will run away after a year. why will she be a housemaid to you in canada ? when she can go to school and better her own life ? see when you go abroad you need to leave this archaic ways of thinking behind. all that slavery you do in nigeria is not allowed in the west because that is what having personal driver and house maid is. its slavery. you tie another human beings life and destiny down for your own personal purpose. why ? if you need maid go to agency and they will give you maid who charges you by the hour. if you want car driver call chauffeur company and they will hire you driver who you will pay by the hour. thats how they do it in the west 27 Likes 6 Shares |

WellEndowed: I won't completely doubt his story. A former colleague moved to a Swiss private bank (in a developed country) as a senior VP and as part of his employment package, he got a fully furnished apartment and a brand new SUV (but without a personal driver). I won't be surprised if a more senior staff member had the same perks but with a personal driver. Cc. Bjhaid 1 Like |

bebe2: I am amazed at the number of Nigerians bidding time in Agadez end route to Libya, and then cross the Mediterranean with high odds of loosing your life. Why, why Essentially all hope is lost. Aspiration has been murdered and dreams have been destroyed. Empathy requires that you understand, appreciate and even feel the circumstance of others. I discourage people coming into the UK I tell them the reality of leading an undocumented life without legal immigration status. Now it may seem ludicrous and irrational to me. But when I empathise I discover, what I call undue stress is minor inconvenience, what I call denigration is small humiliation, what I call uncertainty is certainty to them and what I call pain may seem like comfort. What we should be doing is giving people as much information to make the best choices available to them. To enable them avoid as many pitfalls as possible. In the current situation where for so many hope is lost. We will continue to see people play lottery with thier lives on the most perilous journeys to leave Nigeria. So let's give them as much information as possible to make that journey without losing thier life and soul. 6 Likes 1 Share |
