Amberon1: You should have stated your experience and left it at that without trying to deride Christianity as if it is the reason for Nigeria's underdevelopment. There are more Christians in America than Nigeria yet it is the most developed country in the world. u and i know what is being practiced here is not christianity . At least u worshiped there too |

Z4Gardell: Talking about living outside of Nigeria... It all depends on what you want 1. If you want to see beautiful places yeah most of them are very beautiful 2. If you want to hustle for money,good education, good health care, and enabling environment yeah most of the places in the world you can get them ; hustle-and make good money as per exchange rate. 3. If you want a place to feel like home no no you can’t get it any where in the world except Nigeria 4. If you want a place to see enchanting faces no no you can’t get it, Nigeria is the only place in the world you see enchanting faces... This is deeper than what it means it only when you relocate you will understand this 5. If you are looking for a place to be welcomed no no you can’t get it only in Nigeria you get welcomed... you will not understand this only when you relocate. 6. Looking for a place to be free...then stay in Nigeria 7. Looking for a family for togetherness and oneness it is only in Nigeria you get to feel and see such... this is something you won’ t know until you get there and you mom or brother tell you that you have to contribute to the house upkeep when they know you don’t have a job. 8. Looking for friends to stand by you then stay in Nigeria... cos over here I laugh in Swahili ki ki ki . 9. Are you looking for help Laughs!!! Then it is only in Nigeria you get free help... Nigeria is where some one you do not really know can give you 10k just to help you. I will stop at 10. Nigeria and her hospitality is unimaginable, not to be compared and can never be seen or get anywhere in the world.

freecocoa: This thread really makes me sad to the point I feel my eyes watering. Anyone trying to defend Nigeria by saying ‘it isn’t so bad’ is only lying to themself, a country where you can’t boast of complete 5 hours power supply in a day, what am I even saying? Some placed haven’t seen power in months, a country where people die for lack of police report for proper medical attention, a country where it’s leaders travel to other countries for medical care, a country where you have no emergency response unit for whatever, a country where you get laughed at for being duped or stolen from, heck! You get blamed and called a mugu for being a victim of a corrupt system, I feel very sad honestly especially today, and someone will telll me happy independence? May that independence kee you there, nonsense! You have said it all. Anyone that sends me happy independence - its return to sender. ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) |

islandmoon: damn, let not brag, out of all, common benin republic here, the police are well behaved, no guns, whistle instead and the citizens are well behaved, when police blow whistle , the driver will park and get ready to be arrested, police coming to arrest just one person at seconji and every body locked their shops and ran away, they were afraid and respect their police, even the woman selling food to us wanted to pack and Nigerians were busy saying, where you dey go? sell food for me jor, every body ran, except Nigerians, the police met us eating, na me slapped person way go call police, wetin concern me ? why I go run? put fried turkey for me jor. I have a sibling who lives there. He says the police are feared even more than soldiers. He says Nigerians are notorious over there. There's a particular market, Missebong market that is dominated by Igbo traders. The traders have been chased away more than 10 times, but each time they turn their backs, the traders are back there. The police are even tired of chasing them away and have left them to keep trading |

AnthonyAk: Living in Vancouver, BC, on my toilet as I type this. Life expensive, u work for everything u have.
Ur levels depends on how hard u work and if ur educated.
I work as a software engineer, lost my job in may but by God's grace found a job and starting tomorrow. I make good money but it's not enough to ever buy a home here.
I live alone in a pretty nice apartment in a decent part of town, I can afford anything that I want beyond real estate.
I contribute to my girls school fees so she can graduate and get a decent paying job. Maybe then I'll get married.
I also help some friends and siblings back in nigeria when ever I can.
I really should goto church more because God has always been faithful through out my time here.
There are no handouts here, alot of Africans come here and lose their way to cheap jobs and hustles.
Some work hard, stay in school, graduate, apply themselves in their careers stay and flourish.
Some come and flex and have a good time but they never last long. Sooner or later they are forced out because of immigration.
Others fall into unfortunate circumstances and are forced to leave.
There are others that get their papers but given they never graduated, they can never get good paying jobs
Moving bk to Nigeria as soon I become a citizen next year.
The idea is to land a position at Microsoft, IBM, Google or any of the big boys and transfer to Nigeria.
Hopefully somebody reads this and learns. My only regret is not graduating from school sooner. I was fortunate to finish secobdary school and come here at 16 How did you arrive Canada at age of 16? And why are you in so much haste to return to Nigeria?isn't life there better? And why is it difficult to buy a house in Canada. |

Reading the comments here made me sobber, and angry at the same time. Lately, I'm always battling with my emotions if I made a mistake in deciding to stay in Nigeria. Just look at all the things people are enjoying and taking for granted abroad which we home-based see as luxury!? I had the opportunity to travel to the US this year but I passed it over to my brother and he traveled to the US along with my sister. I thought I would be somewhat okay in Nigeria since I was earning relatively good money (averaging about 250-300k but now seems to be fluctuating downwards) in a not so expensive city. I even installed solar system in my office to overcome the notorious power problem but most times at home, a neighbor will always leave his rickety generator on even late into the night with the noise and fumes constituting serious nuisance!! Nigeria is just a terrible and hopeless place where nothing works yet I'm very reluctant to travel abroad. Someone said that Nigerians are living a mediocre life ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) If only the politicians and indeed everyone else will be responsible and productive, maybe we won't be in this mess we are currently in. I keep saying it, the problem with Nigeria is majorly caused by the north. Northern Nigeria is largely unproductive and the South has to pay for it by subsidizing them!! If the whole country is working in the same pace then our GDP would have been double of what it is currently and the north won't have been so adamant against restructuring. Nigeria will be in serious trouble if the status quo remains considering that income is likely to fall or at best remain the same while population keeps ballooning!! My ambition has always been to earn enough to travel the world and send my children abroad for good education but this country is so unpredictable and with buhari staying beyond 2019, I don't know what the future holds in stock for us. So sad. 12 Likes 1 Share |
