The same, even bible, says, money faileth.

I am sure you read how upon all the money Naija, not going to mention names jumped on to Twitter doing fine bara, begging billionare one among the antichrists, Elon Musk, for a few handful of ventilators, apparently because even with the FG having money, it couldn't get it's hands on any to help fight COVID-19 aka Coronavirus aka Convenient Virus with.

Jaqenhghar:

Who said I live abraod? LOL. You have been there thousands of times we hear you. Fact is no one gives a shít where you choose to live. The way people have found peace in order and stability, same way others have found their peace in chaos and mayhem. Like I pointed out some prisoners will argue that life behind bars is better than being free. Its all a matter of perspective no need to berate others because you choose to live in a sty.

Please ignore @Daboomb, he is not a rich man by all indication; just one frustrated Nigerian who derive pleasure in basking in their ignorance. He may write neatly, but he is definitely bereft of logic and reasoning; to suggest he sounds intelligent by his diatribes, is an insult to the intelligent ones. Intelligence stems from open-mindness and ability to realise your limitation in knowledge(because you can't know all), of which he clearly lacks. To think his measure of success is hinged on the amount of money in you bank account, is a flawed metric. What is money without good health, what is money without good education or security nor the enabling environment to thrive. If he hasn't realised this at his supposed age or claim of wealth, then he is definitely a sham. He feeds off attention: for someone with so much wealth, and comfortable with his present condition in Nigeria, yet he complains miserably at the failures and ineptitude of his government (check his previous post and threads, where he constantly nags). Perhaps he may even be a 'paid' agent for one of these political parties. Get out of here dude and stop derailing this thread. I believe the OP has achieved much more than you can ever achieve in your entire lifetime. Quote me if you want, but you are living in land of fallacy.

You are noticed, now move on boy.
I dont have time for scallywags

That one has money and was very foolish and stupid does not mean money do not answer all things.

Elon Must have got loads and loads of it, same with Jack Ma and have they not helped the world.

Economy rules the world not military.

If Economy rules the world, it means money rules the world.

The elite family study abroad but Majority don't settle there. Check the families of elite politicians, business men, top civil servants and corporate private workers, etc. All their families come back here after studies and either manage businesses of their parents, occupy strategic positions in both private and govt establishments. The life they live here is better than what they might have lived abroad. If you talk of the average Nigerian dreaming or scrambling to live abroad, I will agree with you, but not those elites

Daboomb:


Thank you, l just dont understand why they are all worked up just because l said I am comfortable living in Nigeri and l can provide for myself.
Most of them just want you to join them when they moan and wail, like l am their Zaddy or l was the one that chased them abroad.
Appreciate.

Now your intellect and claims are challenged, and that's all you can put up? Very typical of folks with a myopic outlook on life. Keep living in self-denial and wallowing in conceitedness. Tomorrow, you can jump on the keyboard and spit hatred towards the country you love so much. I rest my case.

You know , it is unprofitable to go into verbal arguement with a m00ron like you, less you bring me down to your level and still beat me with experience!
I was not even engaging you in a discussion but you are so riled up that you injected your assinine self into my mention, just so l might notice you.
Whatever my outlook on life, is my damn business.
Just look at this nonentity who wants to challenge my intellect, Jeezus!
Ofcourse, l have noticed you, now run along and go suck an egg, numskull.

After more than two months of quarantine — my beards are like that of Rick Rubin, my tummy is big, depression every day, my thought about life would be different now and I still have two more months to stay indoor.

I’ve been quarantined for 9 weeks (63 days). Today is Orthodox Easter so I stepped out of the house to receive fresh air.

Check out soon of my photos below.

RichardMeier:


For someone who claims to be wealthy, your life must be really pathetic. If all wealthy people behaved like you, I'd rather die a poor and miserable death than be a mirror of such dirt. You are the one trying to be noticed; running from one thread to the other, proclaiming how wealthy you are, eroding all sense of decorum, just so that only your views can be accommodated, and finally, heaping blame on the government of a country you seem to love so much. Grow up and stop living in your parent's basement, 'rich-man'.

Daboomb:


Our people dont sit back and decode what is going on at all!
Have you ever heard Dangottes, Otedolas, Jim Ovias, Elumelus, Tinubus, Mike Adenugas, etc or any of the NASS members say Nigeria is a bad place to live or they wanna leave the country to live abroad?
WHY IS THAT?
Even retired Senator Dino Melaye has not brooched the idea of finally relocating

The truth is that if you have money in your Pocket, Nigeria is a Paradise! Even the bad security situation will be covered and adequately mitigated against.
But Poor, sorry azz people all over the place are wide-eyed anytine they see someone from abroad showcasing some Chicken Laps, Groceries and small forex Change.
If you want to make a Prayer, ask God to bless you enough in this Nigeria, dont ask God to relocate you abroad.
Look at someone like Governor of Lagos (babajide Sanwo Olu) who was living jejely in the UK, he still found it important and necessary, to come back to Nigeria ot enjoy the good life!
Why did he not contest for as a Mayor in the UK but came to be Governor in Lagos or is it that he does not know that Lagos is a bad-azz city?
He would have been dead by now, if he was still living in the UK because l am cerain he would have attended that Octogenarian Birthday party where they served Coronavirus for them as dessert.

Las Las, we all die here.

Kaycee54321:


You're making my point for me. They come back to manage business and occupy strategic positions and not to settle down here. Even the President rules Nigeria mostly from the abroad.Minus business and occupation of strategic positions,they rarely settle here. Even the ones wey dey occupy the kain positions,no dey gree dey Naija for long. Always moving from Naija to the abroad to go and visit their families.

Again, the President comes to mind. Don't take my word for it though, we can agree to disagree.

Daboomb:


Even "if" l calim to be wealthy, it is not your money, why should that cause you so much pain? stop hating unnecessarily.
If l blame my Nigerian Govt on any issue, it is my Govt and l want them to get better ni, you Refugees should not join me naah or who does not have an opinion on their Govt?.
Get something doing and if you are on lockdown, take a book and read.
You dont need all these crying, daft punk
I have noticed you so enough, wrecthed and miserable soul who joined Nairaland last week April 15, just to beg for money, using Coronavirus as an excuse.

missimelda01:


lol nothing like that

I generally like guys with full beards.

Lamanii22:



But it's not so fine... I'd choose over there though... Living in Nigeria's depressing to some extent...

Onebyonedead:



I dislike people like you who lie

I have been out of Nigeria for 10 years and visit Nigeria

Nigerians are not accommodating

And my best food is Asian and North African food

Nigeria is the worst place to live

People like you discourage people from leaving

Daboomb:


And l dont disagree with you that the disparity in living conditions in Nigeria is unfair.
But you must also agree with me that "enjoyment" is relative because it depends on what you consider valuable to you, which is also dependent on some factors which are unique to each of us.
I am not even praising Nigeria, l am just saying "I enjoy Nigeria and it is not as bad as people say"
You see somebody whose only prayer is to get out of Nigeria because he believes once he leaves Nigeria, he is made!
But you will agree that there are Dustbin pickers abroad, people who sleep on doorways of Companies once they close for the day! Peopel who sleep outside all year round and rummage through the Bins. That is abroad as well, right and that is also below basic standard of living?

Again, l repeat, l am not condemning abroad as bad. Stable electricity is good, steady water, good schools, etc.
All these thing smake abroad good.
BUT can you honesly say that people (not all Nigerians) dont enjoy these things in Nigeria as well?
I and many, many millions of Nigerians enjoy these things they enjoy abroad and many more. I wish more peopel will enjoy it as well but l cant control that, not in Nigeria, not abroad.

If you will, can you please even tell me ONE THING that many people abroad are enjoying, that l am not enjoying or that l cant enjoy here in Nigeria, that would make me to be very desperate, to want to try runningabroad in a dinghy, ove rthe mediterranean

That is where my logic comes in: If you have the money, there is nothing they enjoy abroad that you cant enjoy in Nigeria and there are even things you can enjoy in Nigeria that is nto allowed abroad.
I cited the example of building your house to any design that you like. That is one thing l encountered over there that pissed me off!
All houses in an Estate are exactly alike and that gives for a boring environment.
An arial view of where l live will bring smiles to (y/our) face, just looking at it.
Everyone gives a piece of their feelings and love to their buildings and its so colorful. I like that, maybe you dont appreciate it and l understand that.
We all have different things that we value!
Some dont value Artwork but l pay good money for Artworks and just admiring them gives me joy

Again, l have noticed that as we grow older, what we value also changes, the htings we prioritise also changes..
For most younger people on Nairaland, "just go abroad" is a fulfilment
Maybe l was like that some decades ago but now, it does not thrill me one bit (I still visit to see old friends who stayed -put and chill out when l want o be alone or just do financial issues)

But l value the "noise and chaotic nature" of Nigeria somehow. I value pumping music that shakes your internal organ on a Sunday evening. I love swimming and walking barechested on the Beach. I love seeing people like myself, l love roasted banana and those minor, minor things of life that l cant get when l am abroad.
And l made most of my money in Nigeria, not even abroad and l still continue to earn enough to keep my lifestyle and have good backup for a rainy day.
If you have a problem with my logic, just take it as "different" from yours and we are still good.
You enjoy your own abroad logic and l enjoy my own local, Nigerian logic, No need to fight over such a simple and mundane thing.
I wont force mine on you and you can keep yours, we are both doung good, right?

I think we are taking this discussion too far and it might get too personal. Guys should chill and let it lie or what do you think?

RichardMeier:



You still don't get do you? Firstly, I am in this very country you 'love' so much, doing reasonably way (at least well enough not to rant for 365 days in a year, on the absurdity and incompetence of your government. PS your pathetic if you don't think your rants are pretentious, at best). My focus on your claim of wealth is as a result of your pronouncement, that, as long as you have riches and fortunes in Nigeria, you are unreasonably protected from the fall-out of bad governance. Yet, as one who is supposedly living their dream life in Nigerian, and rants like an untamed slug, it is a deceit to be proclaiming that your 'heaven' is better than their developed countries on the premise of your 'fat account'. Now go say your prayers, bombard those thread with your tirades, and 'hope' that you finally strike success at 80 years old. Cheers
PS; I have no desire to prove my financial capacity to you, but I am very confident I do, and I am doing better than you or your family combined, if married.

You this mongrel still come back, after al the beatings!
I am not intrested in your sorry tales.

Daboomb:



You this mongrel still come back, after al the beatings!
I am not intrested in your sorry tales.
Whether l am rich or you are rich, whether you are married or single whether you focus on my claims or not, you are irrelevant in the schemes of things! Completely irrelevant.
And you must be feeling really funky if you think the word "Refugee" was referring to you! Who dash Monkey!
The Canadian Refugee knows himself but that is neither here nor there.
You can be Dangotte for all l care.
I just cannot engage an obnoxious Riff-raff like yourself, in any discussion.
Get that into your thick skull or do l know you before? Just get-off my mentions!

Okay. l will ignore you from now on. You have the whole thread to yourself, vent your pain, you need it.
