bayocanny:

codemaniacs:

you are ignorant of the ECONOMIC situation most Africans were put in due to indirect rule of the europeans...

this "Any foreigner" may have relatives who send them at least $3000 monthly.... in the OP's case, most chinese have the financial backing of their government...

NONNYG:

bayocanny:

thebosstrevor:


you parent did some odd job and took some loans for you to enjoy thus creating a debt trap.

Many nigerian do odd jobs abroad. That is a fact.

Your parent and maybe you are working.do you or your family own the company where they work. Did they not compete with locals to get what they want.many used AAction to get jobs.

From all the grammar you wrote.you sound entitled.

Spygadgets19:
You need to understand one thing, not everyone is travelling for the sake of money. Some are travelling for comfort. Imagine paying for NEPA bill and yet you are not given the required service. Its annoying. People want a working society. Personally i just want a country were everything is working, 24 hrs power, good education with no strikes.

Basher8583:

Please what exactly are you doing in Dubai. Labourer work? Just be careful. Those Arabs dont like you and can replace you by tomorow. They can even stop paying you and theres nothing you can do about it. Also note that your salary does not mean shit in Dubai as the cost of living is astronomically high. If you know you know. So stop making noise here labourer

Jman06:
Many of the people who travel abroad ain't just looking for where to make money, rather they seek sane societies where things work properly. Where they can apply for a job and be considered based on what they have to offer and not based on political connection. They also seek quality healthcare at affordable cost, constant power supply, good transport system, security of lives and property, good education etc. Those are the things Nigeria has failed to offer them and that is why they are leaving!

Some would want them to come home and build their country, and I ask; how do you build a country governed by selfish, wicked and demonic leaders who are in no way interested in seeing the country change for good Watch the kind of machinations the evil men in power today are trying to employ to manipulate the upcoming election in their favour, how do you expect the common man to build the country under such political atmosphere

thebosstrevor:


i know a guy that went to the same dubai. Ran back to nigeria and he is doing great now.

NONNYG:

thebosstrevor:

i guess in ur small brain. YOu think people dont make it in nigeria. YOU are outdated.

I have seen nigerian sharing papers in the winter, i have seen 10 nigerians sleeping in a tight room all in that your so called abroad. The nigeria that you see as hell. I see it as heaven a place to make good cash.you are short sighted,maybe that is why you cant see the big picture.

thebosstrevor:


but how do you get comfort abroad if you are not working for cash. Or do you think comfort is free of charge.

bayocanny:

chris31:

sweetmelanin:


I guess everyone who works in Nigeria owns the company they work for?

You created this thread out of furstration so that people can come and console themselves here with the "no place like home rhetoric". Bittterness wont kill you.

naunasabi:
@op why do Nigerians think it is all about money?

What about quality of life? Last time I checked the life expectancy in that shit-hole is around 50 years. Moving to country like Germany automatically increases your life expectancy by about 30 years on the average.

What about opportunity? Yes you can make money in Nigeria but then how much are we talking about? Being a middle class doesn't spare your children the horror of everyday life in Nigerian or how uncertain the future look. Unless you are among the top earners in Nigeria which will afford you the means to ship your children abroad for a better life. Which brings me back to the question if Nigeria is that great after making the money since that is your sole indicator of a wonderful life why don't you leave your kids in Nigeria instead of carting them away?

To the average man on the street, Nigeria is one of the worse place to be born and to live in. Go to the west the average man on the street has a prospect if they work towards it. In Nigeria working hard towards your goal doesn't cut it, you have to be very lucky and know people. I know that there are group of people that will counter this point but my question to those people is to compare the number of those that did it without knowing anyone with those that knew someone. While when you look at the west the element of luck and knowing someone is insignificant on how your life turns out.

@op you won't know the quality of life until you get home from work, flip the switch and there is power. Step into your tube and take a warm bath thereafter relax in your sofa without any worries of whether the power will be on when you wake up in the morning or if the tap will be running in the morning. You wont known the quality of life or what it really means to make it until you have emergency medical condition and all you need to do is dial emergency services and their will be medical personnel right there at your home to save your life.

Even in your so called money haven- even if you managed to amass a lot of money when you have medical emergency the service you will get is a far cry from a decent one. I forgot all your billionaires are still running abroad for medical checkup.

As for the poor man he is on his own!

Yes to me making it, is living in a society where everyone has equal or at least near equal opportunity of charting the course of their lives.

Making it to me is living in a society where I don't have to worry about the mundane things of life like security, health , education, human right, job security etc. You can be making money but mine and I can speak for most people is living in a decent society.

To us that is what making it is all about!

6digitscomrade:
sharrap and stop trying so hard to be clever...I have been reading all your nonsense...You and your would be boss were just benefitting from our failed system which places high and ridiculous value on self confessed expatriates rather than employ same indegenously with the same qualification and knowledge of the terrain...

Internalize your frustrations or so called contentment...Let people chase their dreams wherever and however...

You sound like a person who would rather watch someone suffer in penury and ignore them only to appear later to come and interrogate their success..

NONNYG:
lols, I laff... I can see the high level of bitterness, oga u be enemy of progress; meanwhile i’m NOT doing menial job neither am I employed by a local; if you want to know what I do or where I work; then come over I will show u

majekdom2:
bros I respect you but pls tell yourself the truth. You moderate the travel section and you see how some of your people present forged documents both home and abroad. How many Chinese are doing dishes in Nigeria. Immigration is never a bad thing, this is why there is a ministry and department for it in every country. The truth remains many Nigerians are nuisances both home and abroad. I was at the airport the other and was disgusted by every official in that building. Every one of them is looking for a way to collect money from you like that is the job they are being paid for. This greed, pity seeking mentality is what has made many leave the country without no proper plan and purpose for traveling. I am currently outside Nigeria and I am engaging other Africans that are well travelled, there isn’t any good story to tell. Naija hard yes, but have a plan for your life before you start thinking of running away from naija.

jeff1607:



you don't expect him to just come over there to confirm na


if there's joy in your profession just say what you do over there period

thebosstrevor:
I have noticed that many Nigerians think they can only make it abroad, even though,we are blessed with a large market,what is stopping nigerians from seeing opportunities in their own country?

I have spoken to many chinese( age 20 to 30) they all seems to have very low education, some of them do not have degrees like us but they are making it big time in nigeria, even a north korea man i met in an exhibition in lagos is doing great here in nigeria.

But nigerians are trooping out of their country like nothing works in nigeria.

i guess this boy is a bot. he's very closed minded and pessimistic. I wonder how people around you have to do to accommodate you.
