SEGLIZ: SOmeone once said that to me and I thought of all we do to ourselves at the ports. No one is willing to lose 70% of their assets as taxes and bribes bringing it back into Nigeria in any other form but cash. If I say I want to invest the money I have saved for the last 7 years working like a mule to buy a tractor and a truck to move things. I will end up paying a huge amount as tax, and if I bring cash I will still have to buy imported lower quality equipment. most lose asset returning to Nigeria |

King44:US? thank God that is the country u mentioned as example! Did you know what? US is one the last places one should consider running to, just like Lagos many "craze (skosko for head) people" full there no be small. Check out their president Trump, they are arrogant, but also know their worth and onions very well. They are always battling with issues till tomorrow...check those gun man who will just wake up shoot plenty people without any justification. It is saturated already. Though it is the most developed and advanced country in the world. |

#5 is what I’m dealing with now. I go to a RCCG church in Texas only because my wife and kids, especially my kids have made friends there and my kids participate in various activities there. A mosque is better than some RCCG churches when it comes to gossip, jealousy and ego. They all shout “God bless you”. But I’ve never seen a place with so much contempt for another parishioner’s blessing. Everything is dragged through a microscope. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Nicoswit:well I don't know what you mean by racism but nothing will change it the only thing I noticed in this part of the nation is that we are too emotional even here where I live people still remind me of where I come from and I just laughed it off but the truth must be told you can't see there police carrying AK-47 up and down they depend mostly on the information given to the security by the local and let me tell you most of this foreigners see we black as a criminal. |

genq: You would be funny, if you actually were. If the opinion isn't yours, it must be trolling. Grow a brain. You are the frustrated soul if a post that has nothing to do with you is dragging you in with the cat to mention me. Keep your frustrations to yourself. Since she did not reply, you have brought up your usual folly in response. It can't be helped. ![]() 1 Like |

Bro run for your life My wife was born in Nigeria but grew up outside Nigeria. The funny thing she was the one who kicks against Africa churches because she saw more than enough while growing up and her dad never force her to church and same with her bro and sis. I attended christ embassy and some few churches in Germany but God what I saw, oh wish I can unsee them again sweetTai: |
