Really? Still debating Nigeria vs US/Canada?

Everyone's experience is different. There are many Nigerians in US/Canada who are barely hanging on. When someone tells you that Nigeria is all that, you have no idea of his living situation. Perhaps he will be better off in Nigeria. This assumption that everyone is ok in diaspora is a ruse. Don't judge him until you walk in his shoes.

We can't say life is great in developed countries
but like I said Nigeria has gone backward in regard to basic need of Nigerians
We product petroleum-- people can't get gas to buy with their money
we have major problem
96% of Nigerians are in hell including me

Baba, you didn't update us on your project o.

One thing I've come to understand in my 27 years of life is that everyone has an appointed time in this world. No matter how intelligent ,wealthy,healthy and powerful an individual ,you will leave this world when it's your time to leave . Whether you;re in Liberia ,Japan,St Lucia ,New Zealand,you heart will stop beating when it's your time. When it's not you time , even if you plane crashes in the ocean and everyone dies , you will survive .
Life is a test and we're here to make the best of it all and learn. All experiences are necessary and is for our ultimate good . In every situation always find out what you need to learn.

someone above mentioned Beverly Hills being safer. I'm sure most of you here are atleast 40 and you still don't know how the world works. below are list of homicide for Beverly Hills . Even if you're the president ( Kennedy) you simply take a bow when its time ,Brother!
i'm not able to post the link here . just got to LA times homicide list .

The facts are glaring. Nigeria is a case of he who more is given, less is expected.

The attitude is very peculiar to black folks in general. Rarely do you find an outstanding black nation.

The sad part is that they are very comfortable with it and wouldn't mind passing the buck.

But why engage in this long debate with someone who is in no position to affect any change?

You may end up killing his fantasy which may not be good for his overall well-being.

I wish we all get back to discussing Building Construction.

Heck! If there is nothing else to discuss, I wouldn't mind contacting Ministry of Lands in Ibadan and have them demolish Egunmogaji's house.

Good bye to Lawn Tennis or table tennis on the roof

That will definitely blow up this thread and get him some reprieve from the "monitoring spirits" stalking him for comments.

If you can and still have them, you should share receipts of materials from back then.

Are the artisans better then than now?

Thanks.

Guy, here in Alberta in Canada, Nigerians are respected and not seen as worthless. We are in every sector you can think of in this place and we walk around with our chest up. Feel free to confirm from any Nigerian living here except the lazy ones.

The truth be told only Nigerians suffering oversea always tell people and give reasons why others should not visit Nigeria.

No struggling Nigerian oversea can live a good life in Nigeria because you will do everything to make sure you enjoy the same amenities you enjoy oversea.

"Conversations with Nigerians always end with money," guy without money, how do you expect to pay your bills oversea, give your kids the best education, build a retirement home in Nigeria, enjoy the best vacations or like me eat better Nigerian food and visit the best night outs joints in Nigeria (with my wife) . Look we all work very hard and will invest in whatever place that will yield a better return and it is your choice what ever you do with your money.

Yes, the country is full of challenges but how is our complaining going to help if we don't do our part to help the country.

A friend of mine, a graduate from Harvard owe a big mechanic shop in Lagos. Trust me he makes enough to sustain his family and himself. If you must know the shoprite if I am correct at lekki came to be by young Nigerians that schooled oversea but came back to make a difference in Nigeria. To survive and make it in Nigeria requires better brain and you must think wide and fast.

The same Africa Trump called a shit hole was the same place he said his friends are making a lot of money.

Like I said before, meet the right people in Nigeria and I bet you, the way you see the country will change.

Thank you so much. People like you gives me hope for Nigeria. Most educated Nigerian do not know that its what a person does that he or she will have to live with.

Anywhere in the world, including developing countries; I have yet to see their wealthy citizen living abroad. Example: Mike, Dangote and even my own common neighbors in Magodo. Some has Visas and still never used till this very day. I have cousins that are too busy with their life in Nigeria, they refused to travel when they clearly has the means to do it a world over.

Honestly, Nigeria is the reflection of our unpatriotic self. Finally, Most people complain of Nigeria not being good, but the money they spent to ship their family abroad was not made abroad but in Nigeria to start with!!!

Nigeria is a Developing country and it needs her citizens to stop running from their responsibilities, rather, work on creating our country to be like the one we willing fully slave our youthfulness, recourses and energy for abroad

WHAT A BIRD EATS; ITS WHAT ITS WILL FLY WITH...Love Nigeria despite is imperfections and be willing to change what's within your avenue

I'm not sure but I think this music maybe good for you. Since 1988 though but we just dey perambulate and we still dey same same place. In fact we are not in the same place but actually gone back since 1988. Nigeria go survive, na prayer.

You failed to address the great issue in Nigeria corruption and me and my family mentality of stealing Nigerian people money
Nigeria regression state not moving forward
Nigerians are hard workers but we have the DNA of greed, stealing Nigerian money
Last Christmas Nigerian was not able to visit family why No gas "petroleum"
Few people have the money
96% of us live in poverty
Why are people leaving Nigeria ?
We need to stop lying to ourselves that we are developing nation moving in the right direction

"Honestly, Nigeria is the reflection of our unpatriotic self. Finally, Most people complain of Nigeria not being good, but the money they spent to ship their family abroad was not made abroad but in Nigeria to start with!!!"----- Not really some family had to take loan to send their kids away
the kids come over here to work and repay the loan
My brother had to remind me that lot of families don't have any source of income that their Son and daughter have to send money home to pay rent and feed
Your experience is great that is not the experience of 96% of nigerians

@Daboomb, I enjoy reading your post on here because of your concise and indepeth insight in various disciplines but like what FastShipping posted yesterday, I only enjoy the local food and few daughters of Eve when I am in Nigeria, apart from that nothing interest me in that country, Lol at negotiating with thieves, some thieves even request for pot of soup and Semovita when robbing in Nigeria because of the hunger in the land

Real funny. Actually gated communities are a big thing in the US. Usually costing more. I hate them because it is so much stress punching in pass codes at the gate each time. I simply tail someone behind when I can and that is exactly how the bad guys get in too.

Dremca:
But still the country is a shithole. Every thing is corrupt from home to institutions, including the air we breath is corrupt.

Dremca:
Nigeria is the most spiritual country and most morally and ethically bankrupt

That you chose to 'parrot' the language of Trump, someone who is renowned for bankcrupting/killing business, over and over again, someone who is renowned for cheating the poorer folks by not paying his 'due tax' (using legal loopholes), someone who is renowned for abusng women as an 'object of his depravity',.... shows you are not different from every other Nigerian, morally bankcrupt!

You can quote George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Reagan, Clinton, even Obama and many more intelligent American Presidents.............. but to be parroting Trump of all people, a probably, mentally-unhinged, running-mouth dude, usimply becaue he is insulting your country of birth, is an indication of


Also, you are mixing-up 'religiosity and spirituality'.
Nigerians are likely the 'most religious people' on earth, churches and mosques every where.
Religious 'noise' throughout Sunday and on very early hours of the day when children are supposed to be sleeping, not to mention the Fridays or the shennanigans they do along the Lagos-Ibadan express way!

Mouthing 'earth-shattering but practically ineffective prayers' on things God has given us the 'mental power' to resolve ourselves!

But that is where it ends.
Nigerians are very far-away from being 'spiritual'.
Spirituality is your personal relationship with God (or a higher being that you beleive in).
Spirituality controls all facets of your life and make you a better person and you not only affect your environment positively, you also have an 'elevated, inner consciousness' that would not make you do all the corrupt things that Nigerians, even the so-called "men-of-god" and Islamic sheiks are deep into - looting public funds, taking advantage of weaker ones, sexual misconducts, ritual and inhuman killings, kidnapping, e.t.c.

Let me conclude by saying that Nigerians are good at 'mouthing religious regurgitations from their Holy books', showing-off in religious attires and building religious monuments, just like the Pharisees but their heart is very far from God.

Those fence in Beverly hill are mostly for aesthetic. Security is already guaranteed. The cops are there to respond to emergency withing 2mins, but Nigerian police will give reason of having fuel yet there is annual budget for police.
