Funny enough being outside Nigeria is not as homely as when you’re among your own people. The cultural differences, family intrusions, pokenosey attitude of Nigerians generally make me feel more at home than outside. Besides, in the abroad, you can’t be a local champion, almost everyone is good at what they do and even better sef. But here people have worse problems so you can feel good about your inabilities. |

Not really my friend. Your point (shortcut to success per say) applies in every clime. For e.g the son of Donald Trump as a billionaire is naturally a big game (permit me to borrow your word), just as the friend of Donald Trump as a politician today would be a big game. Basically, the people you have around you or you have as friends determine to an extent how you think, act, and take decision DonroxyII: |

MzDeeb: All correct, but sadly we are deeply addicted to drama, emotional stress, noise, church business, gossip people business and wahala. This is oxygen to us. No country that is functional and law-abiding can ever give us what we need deep down. Be it ever so crazy, there is no place like home, I say. |

Re: What Will You Miss If You Leave Nigeria? by yemiosinbajo: 7:01pm On Sep 27, 2018 |
MzDeeb: Are you saying that people make jest of those with disabilities in Nigeria? Maybe it depends on the nature of the disability; for example, reaction to a stammerer is different from reaction to a crippled. However, in general, people in Nigeria are more sympathetic towards the disabled than people in the West. In the West, everyone, irrespective of disability is expected to be independent, but in Nigeria, the reverse is the case. Therefore, people show more sympathy and empathy towards the disabled in Nigeria than in the West. When you say they cannot mind their business when they come across the disabled in Nigeria, it is just their sympathetic nature. 2 Likes |

yemiosinbajo: Lol.. because everything here is done orderly. You have to put a call across to someone that you are coming. Unlike in Nigeria where you can just stop over at a friend's place just because you passed their street or something. |
Re: What Will You Miss If You Leave Nigeria? by MzDeeb(f): 8:20pm On Sep 27, 2018 |
yemiosinbajo: Nah. I disagree. Pple make jest of pple with physical challenge or disabilities in Nigeria. It has now become the order of the day, i guess that's why you don't notice it. Just so you know, jesting might not necessarily being verbal communication. Non verbal communication is the most common. Eg you see someone with a skin disease, or a weird shape of head.. You pass by and everyone is either staring at you or laughing. Its embarrassing to them. You switch on your tv and some comedians are there joking about your predicaments. But here, such is not the case. Though it might exist but it isn't common |

In Cana now, and honestly what do I miss... Family, friends, only if I could just with a blink move all my peeps here, Mallam kiosks that just pop up in all these places and ease of access to get those small items. Go check out my wordpress blog on my cana experience - thriveonyourjourney And you can easily find alternatives to all these things you miss, except your peeps! |
