the only country coming close to America's greatness in terms of economy, military might and technology is China.


UK is nowhere near US. UK can only be compared to dying nations like Greece, Italy, Spain, etc not US.

The only benefit UK citizens benefit or can boast of is affordable healthcare and education, nothing else.

UK economy is clutching on straws as we speak, its dying a natural death.

In the next 50 years, UK will be worst then Italy and Greece so if u love your children's future please find ways to relocate them out of UK to more promising nations, don't say we didn't warn you.

Can you name or give reasons why UK should be on the list of great nations of the world of today

What rank do they occupy in military might

In economy strength

In employment rate

In housing fortune 500 firms

In number of billionaires

In entertainment

In Technology

Just name it!

You guys living in UK know what I am talking about; UK is living on past glory. The houses are getting aged, infrastructure is dying due to age, no more stolen money to rehabilitated or build new ones, confused government brexiting today, rebrexiting tomorrow and changing prime minister like diaper.

UK is just a useless country that terrorist ought to have leveled down long time ago.

They messed Nigeria and west Africa up by joining enemies together as one nation out of their stupid, wicked, selfish greed!!

now you are beginning to sound sentimental

The United Kingdom will always find its way

and your hatred for the U.K. stems from the fact that you blame them for the amalgamation

this is baseless because the founding fathers agreed to a unified Nigeria prior to independence in 1960 (1958)

from 1958 onwards
Britain was absolved of any blame due to amalgamation

It's $18.99 and lots of people from the states are I Sydney working ...fact
All on working holiday visa

Least pay u will get here working even as a labourer is $25 an hour

Wow! Cool

u are viewing America with a rose tinted glass. health care is everything, how can a country boast of so much wealth yet they have the unaffordable healthcare .

or u didnt see the viral video of the boston woman who had an accident and was screaming pls dont call the ambulance?

abeg stop the hype, wealthy in debt.

most jobs give you health care - moreover, in the USA, NO HOSPITAL WILL DENY U TREATMENT AS LONG AS YOU ARE HUMAN BEING - yes that will be a debt for u to pay later when you get well fully --- but you will be treated even if you dont have one penny in your pocket.. IT IS THE LAW.. and the same hospital will give u a list of charities who pay for medicals for poor people so u can call them later to pay ur bills.... so whats the fuss about ? THE REASON PEOPLE CANT PAY THEIR BILLS IS THAT HOSPITALS WILL TREAT U FOR COMMON SKIN STYE INFLAMATION and charge $2,000 which normaly is should net even be more than $200. NOW TRUMP HAS CREATED A SYSTEM THRU HHS that will enable patients to compare the cost of treating ailments across counties within each state so people can make smart decisions. SO GONE ARE THE SAYS WHEN HOSPITAL WILL TREAT YOU AND CHARGE 3K WITH THE PATIENT SHOCKED TO THEIR BONES. Now the patient can go online and see what the competing hospitals are offering to treat the ailment and this will soon bring the cost down drastically

leave them
They all say it isnt because they can't get in

America is the best country. Take it or leave it. Even the overhyped Canada doesn't have as much opportunities as America. There's something for everyone in America

You are only ranting in ignorance and the more you type the more you give yourself out the more and I can say you havnt stepped out of Nigeria.

Go back to my first post and argue those points with me...it is America that is actually living in past glory.

I have learnt Never to argue vivid points so let me allow you exhibit your ignorance about a country you have never lived in.

pussyeater:

It's the Greatest Country on earth. Take it or leave it!!!

As a Nigerian, this is the only country in the world where you have absolute freedom. If not for insecurity it remains the best.

franchasng:
Netherlands is far below US to even compare.

The airport looked so old and close to dirty like African airports

Netherlands is a small country with small population, so there is no need to compare because Netherlands is like Nevada in US

One can use bicycle to circle round Netherlands in one day

Healthcare is costly in US, yes I agree.

Education too is but Americans afford it and end up great and richer than Europeans who attend free eduction and free healthcare, so what's the need

Where is all the money you Europeans saved if at the end we can't find you guys among top billionaires

Only few Europeans are billionaires, while America produces almost 70% of worlds billionaires and richest people, so what's the need for the free education and free healthcare in Europe

US is the greatest country on earth as at now, take or or leave it!

Here we go

Which of the Dutch airport looks so old? can you name it?

NL is small, that is true, the population is small, that is also true, but how does the size correlate with the quality of life? Just in case you do not know, NL rank in the top of the highest quality of life, far before the USA. So what's your point?

One can cycle around the country with a bike, disregarding your satire in that statement, what is wrong with that? isn't it suppose to be a good thing that a country has a well-maintained infrastructure where you dont need cars much, and promote a healthy way of life?

Most American students take out a huge student loan, can you show statistic that the average American afford it? the U.S. student loan debt exceeded $1.2 trillion with over 7 million debtors in default in 2014, the figure should be higher now, so what are you talking about?

Americans are not richer than Europeans. Of course, there are more American billionaires because America is a corporatocracy, the corporation rules, from the for-profit prison, to war contractors, it is basically a country buried in steroid capitalism. Walking along the street of US, homeless scattered everywhere, I guarantee you that you will never see a homeless person here, that's how good the system is unless you really really wanna live outside and ignore the social safety net.

About billionaires, Nigeria has more billionaires than any country in Africa, does that make Nigeria better to live in than Botswana or Namibia? your billionaire argument quite frankly, makes no sense.

Bros, leave sentiment, America is only good if you are rich, but if you are average like most people, Europe is better.

UK will die a natural death because they created evil in Africa and still supporting evil in Nigeria today!

Yes my hatred for UK is in two parts; one for their evil deeds in Nigeria and secondly for their crooked wicked ways.

Despite stealing from Nigeria and Africa, how many free immigration program do they run to help Nigerians and Africans enter UK to survive

Despite being the colonial masters of Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia and knowing Nigeria's official language is English why are they still milking poor Nigerians through IELTS before they allow them come into UK to study or work

UK have no innovative brain to make money again, so they rely on crook ways like stealing, and indirect slavery of black Africans through study in UK, IELTs, etc.


Their crooked ways can't allow them think and invent useful technologies that will boost their economy like US, China, etc.

I pity any Nigeria that's living in UK or planning to move to UK, they are better in Nigeria or elsewhere.

They tax their citizens so much. So it cancels the nonsense free education and healthcare cos UK citizens pay for it through their heavy taxation which make them poor and almost living from hand to mouth.

You can hardly see a Nigerian living in UK and doing very well financially, very rare, and if you ever see one, he or she is either a doctor or a nurse

every african born canadian i know hate the USA, why ? I dont know -- they are constantly angry whenever USA is mentioned, I guess they are hating because they know Canada is inferior to USA

It’s not. Americans hate Canada too. It’s a competition sort of

nairalanduseles:


It's visa free to go to the states

How many Australians have u seen relocating to the states lol
Come to central now u will see a lot of USA backpackers working 100%

It's normal for westerners to always want relocate. You see Americans moving to Europe, canada and vice versa. but from a Naija point of view, America is still the best. You can mix easily with the multitude compared to Europe where every black skin dude is seen as an immigrant. In America, just don't comit a crime or be found in a wrong place at a wrong time and you will enjoy the good of the land.

ogbonti:

Australia ain't Europe bro.......Don't be fooled USA citizens ain't enjoying shit

salford1:

I am a Citizen of Canada, and he is right. USA is indeed the greatest country in the world.

I have learnt to seperate patriotism from reality.

You are right, if Canada was the greatest why do we have Nigerians who are Canadian citizens who still work in Nigeria but have their families in Canada

Temple1288:


Not anymore! There are lots of files having adjustment of Status unattended to..

Says who?...that's not true.

What's the minimum wage of Australia?
It's $15 per hour in NY for the lowest level employee

Australia has one of the best minimum wages in the world even Canada has a better minimum wage than USA

I cannot live in UK even if they appoint me that their Queen errand boy they call Prime Minister. I rather relocate to Maiduguri Nigeria than live permanently in UK, cos if I dare live in UK, I will kill many British people with my bare hands

UK is a dying nation living on past glory, give them another 50yrs and Italy/Greece will be better than UK.

Good luck!

I know a few illegal immigrants in my neighborhood who are Nigerians. One particular lady introduced my wife to the party life. Now my wife has gone astray and parties every weekend. I have decided to call ICE on her and her family this weekend.

lol!...funny

How do you know they're undocumented immigrants?

Beautyaddy:


There is no need to scare people away from going to the US legally on a visiting or student visas.

After their three months legal stay in the US they can get an American to fall in love, marry and then can change their temporary status to permanent status via adjustment of status to obtain a green card. Unfortunately this is one of the weak US immigration loopholes that most visiting and student immigrants have used and are still using.

Your thinking is diametrically opposite and skewed backwards

Is this the same "Nairaland.com" or "Nairaland-diaspora.com"??

nairalanduseles:


Australia ain't Europe bro.......Don't be fooled USA citizens ain't enjoying shit

I am an American, I dont like welfare- I am not a beggar for the government to feed me. There are so much jobs to do here in the US, so why should I be glorifying welfare? Have u seen anyone becoming rich taking welfare checks or food stamp? hmmmmm --- poverty of the mins is worse than lack of real cash

It is true that Australia pays well but it is still very expensive to Live in compare to America.
You can’t compare that to America. America is way better than Australia. White people move around all the time. I’m sure they are loads of Aussie’s in America. Stop the hype biko.

UK is dead really. UK can’t even compare to Canada to begin with

gentleiphy:




Salford is more than 150% real and right..there is no country you can compare with America..thats a fact.It is so because of the flexibility of opportunities it offers to every one regardless of your academic background so long as you really think like a human being.US encourages all kinds of venture reason Mexicans,eastern Europeans,Africans who do not even have high school education succeed because there are no restrictions to small start up retail shops..so many Nigerians back home done even know that there are road side vulcanizers in New York,road side welders,kabu kabu blowing whistle for you with "Heysss are you going?...with people selling candys and cookies in the subways..with people coming out on the streets with their truck loaded with coconut ans selling to passer by..with guys hawking soda and water on the highway of NYC just like lagos...

you cant try that in Canada,you need to first be educated in Canada...everything regulated with govt policies ...small street businesses are not encouraged...

what America stands for is why it is called living the American dream...there is no country that is easy to succeed other than America with or without papers.

by the way i am also a Canadian citizen.

Just in case you do not know, social mobility (that's the word you are looking for, about poor people climbing and becoming rich), is low in the US, lots of EU countries are far ahead, especially Scandinavia. You only hear of few stories of people who make it, but not the thousands, if not millions that didnt.

pansophist:

You that lives in Netherlands can talk and I listen small cos I have been there and Netherlands is a bit okay but can't compare to US still, but that one talking about dead UK amazes me.

The only thing that makes people still value UK is Premier League and their education system, that's all.

Aside these two things, UK would have been gone and forgotten, though their death is still coming just being prolonged small

Australia has one of the best minimum wages in the world even Canada has a better minimum wage than USA

are you a man of minimum or aiming at the maximum? what kind of people are here on nairaland? JEEEEEESUZ!!!
