lekki1444:I'm not just talking about the internet and light, they were just examples. Living in your own comfortable bubble doesn't necessarily change what's happening outside, around you |

ibkayee:There is no country without its own drawbacks. I remember getting to the UK in the '90s, and having to do a 20-minute walk, from the nearest bus stop to my house in the frigging cold, every single day for months. I worked in a rather exclusive part of town, and every few metres a police patrol car would drive by and stare at you, once you were black. I got questioned a few times just for walking down that street. Something that never happened to my white colleagues. Everywhere has its own stress. At least, in Naija your money can buy you comfort, if you have enough. 3 Likes 1 Share |

If you are financially okay, Nigeria is actually a very good place to live. All those one's abroad talking about mosquito and Nepa etc are just a bunch of broke ass because you can have 24/7 electricity in Nigeria easily if you can afford it. Until you travel yourself to see how most of them live in the so called abroad and the kind of work they do you will know where their bitterness and sense of unfulfilled expectations is coming from. 11 Likes 3 Shares |

RaptorX:Gbam!! You said it all! Like I said before, I have lived in estates in this Naija, which would make you think you are still abroad. 24x7 power supply (with gensets, solar power, etc), swimming pool at the doorstep, fast WiFi, hi-tech security etc., including private car and driver to take you anywhere you want. In one place I stayed, they had a private speedboat to take you from Ikoyi to Apapa, every day.... 2 Likes |

ibkayee:finally we come to the same conclusion which is NO PLACE IS PERFECT haha. exactly. its a matter of pick your poison. to me ? naija is the more habitable choice. in the UK i feel claustrophobic. like the walls are closing in on me. i feel suffocated. i feel watched. i feel like too many people have a say in how i can live my life. i feel like a pawn in the hand of the puppet masters. i feel like a hamster in a wheel. i feel like a nobody. i feel like an unwanted visitor who is imposing himself on the host while the host is secretly seething at my presence. its not a good feeling mentally and spiritually. to feel unwanted ![]() 6 Likes |

CeterisXVII:There are no countries without drawbacks but some places are more habitable than others. I'm thining beyond being in my own personal 'plush' bubble, about things like below standard health care facilities, bad roads, unstable light (I know there are alternatives like generators but I don't really want to stay in a country where basic ELECTRICITY isn't readily available, no matter how many alternatives there are). No place is perfect, but some places are overall 'better' when you weigh the pros and cons, depending on what you're after |

ibkayee:to prevent ur getting attacked in naija wen u return u dont announce that u coming.dats the mistake most nigerians overseas make wen coming back.they will tell every tom dick and harry that they are coming so and so time in naija.wen u making ur trip to naija do it quietly.U can maybe tell ur parents but if ur parents na guy men they will keep it a secret for u.dont tell any friend whatsoever that u coming back.come back qiuetly do ur business and go back if u have to.wen u announce to everybody that u coming back thats when they plan for u.they will arrange bad boys for u .There was a guy who spent all his years in sweden and on the day he came to his village in benin that was the day he was murdered.The farm company he setup that was the place they murdered him.The police said it was fulani herdsmen but most ppl believed that hit was done by ppl close to him.nigeria has become so bad and evil that nobody can be trusted. 1 Like 1 Share |

RaptorX:Whenever I hear all these type of rants i just know its from the poverty stricken ones making these statements so I don't even bother. They know their being abroad is the only thing they can use to boast because when it comes to money nwanne,men here go shut them up back to back. Like when you speak to them they keep telling you abroad this,abroad that...here it's like this,its like that. But talk of investments and you find out how empty they are money wise upon the noise. Roaming broke lunatics. Funny enough the well to do ones wanna relocate but they just can't cos of their jobs. 5 Likes 1 Share |
