humilitypays:why then does your president (number 1 citizen who should be an example) keeps going abroad for treatment for even the slightest of health issues like headache. A normal person with a functional brain and conscience will do everything humanly possible to make sure those world class facility and treatment he saw after the first visit is replicated in his country. Abeg go and sit down joor, don't provoke me this morning. Do u know that bp, stroke, diabetes and other senior diseases are just like headache and malaria in those places? |

OptimusPrime3: You do realize that even in America, the sheer cost of treating a serious illness can send you into poverty right? At the end of the day, carefully consider your OWN peculiar circumstances, and migrate PROPERLY, cos the truth is, abroad really isn't for everyone. The amount of homelessness I have seen in London and the sheer scale of homelessness in Los Angeles should tell you that every society comes with its own challenges. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHDkALRz5Rk 2 Likes |

blackpanda: That's not common any more. More people get shot here in Nigeria than the U.S, this is not a joke. Bearing arm here is illegal but do you know more people get shot more in Nigeria than the U.S where everyone can bear arm legally? If you have the means bro, secure the future of your children outside Nigeria. This country is not safe for existence. The U.S is safer to live than Nigeria. That's a country where arm is legalized being more safer than a country where arms is not allowed still people get shot everyday. If you always check the front page, a week will not pass without you not seeing a thread about someone who is either kidnapped or shot by gunmen. Only this week alone, I have seen 3 threads of gunmen shooting someone. There are 99% other safer countries around the world more peaceful and saner to live. My sole virdict is; Nigeria is not a safe place to live as a country. Below is a thread trending the front page right now. After collecting 2 million ramson, he was still killed. https://www.nairaland.com/6360863/wole-agboola-kidnappers-kill-oyo |

kizonero: We are saying the same thing . . . I just have a problem with Nigerians (many of whom have never actually lived in the west) speaking as if some people cannot make or build a good life in Nigeria as well. If you feel abroad is for you (after doing proper and balanced research), please go using legal means, otherwise, what your eyes would see there, your mouth would quaver to speak of. 2 Likes |

blackpanda:You can get shot when you don't comply or behave violently towards police officers because bearing arms is legal there and police officers have to be cautious. 99.8% of Nigerians in the US never get shot at by the police because they never go into criminal activities and know how to respect police officers and comply with their orders. You're 95% more likely to get shot as a "black man" in Nigeria than in the USA so this your argument is useless. |
Re: Canada Hype And Travel Rush: Here Are Things You Need To Know by nnennachiji(f): 2:55pm On Jan 13, 2021 |
At blackpanda who told you when police kills someone in the states nothing happens There is usually an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death Sometimes the officer can lose his job or be prosecuted The family can sue the city in charge of the police Can that happen in Nigeria Do you know the paid Breonna Taylor’s family $18million Yes your loved one is dead but at least you got something out of it, this cannot happen in Nigeria I rem one case that the police beat up a black man He didn’t die but he sued and was paid $3M |

During my practice as a doctor in Nigeria I saw a lot of deaths that can be prevented Do you know most hospitals won’t accept you without paying deposit Someone said you can get broke paying hospital bills This happens only in USA because of corporate greed Other developed countries have universal health care But i think I prefer being broke to dying from a preventable health challenge Do you know you can sue a hospital here if the give you outrageous bills if you don’t have health insurance I rem when my brother came to the states newly and he went to the hospital and the gave him outrageous bill He took them to court and the slashed the bill and gave him a payment plan My brother that lives in Nigeria would have died if he didn’t come to USA for his surgery A mass was found at his right kidney and was said to be malignant All the good surgeons I know in Nigeria said he has to undergo a laparotomy with the kidney involved removed But my elder brother made arrangements for him to come here for the surgery It was a robotic surgery they did for him removing only the mass and histology done revealed it was not malignant You can hardly see the incision Just 1cm line in 2 places He didn’t pay all the money which is wrong I know He is still owing them but at least he is alive The made a payment plan for him reduced the money still he has not paid which is not good He is already back in Nigeria I don’t even know if he wants to pay the money |

this is why i dont pity our people. instead of telling the truth they are saying that those that stay are not fools. anyway my uncle that came to the uk and left is a big fool. He died of heart failure. he works very hard without no rest. He came to the uk on business and he has been coming like that for over a decade. his business patner advised him to stay and that he would be given permanent residency. My foolish uncle refused. Then the rate of the naira start to drop. some years later e got sick which lead to stroke. We ad to be sending money for is wellbeing. a rich man became poor, at last he died last year. even his girlfriend who had a son wanted to give him residence permit through his son, my uncle refused. all his wealth gone except his house and his children are fighting over it. I always say to people its good to have 2 passports, if thing go down for you in nigeria, you can come back and rebuild your life. all his children will be in free education, free helth e.t.c. now some of his children are now saying they hate their dad for not bringing them abroad. nigeria is so bad that you now see nigerians in neighbouring countries like benin republic,togo,gabon,southafrica,gambia e.t.c 3 Likes |

humilitypays: The first bolded, now we know what's making some of those abroad discouraging others from making the move. That's the erroneous mindset they have that is making some persons to start discouraging others. They are fast to tell how one can make all the money in Nigeria simply because they feel threatened by other Nigerians relocating. Now we know why some abroad will always tell terrible experiences that they never had just to discourage others cuz they feel the place will be filled with Nigerians if they start telling all their good experiences. That mindset is myopic and a cheer selfishness. Think about the Indians and Chinese, they are the most populous people in most countries. If they have this same mindset, I don't think they will be that popular in many organisations in the western world. They help one another especially the Indians. For the second bolded, that's not true. They will revoke your citizenship if only you commit a serious crime. They don't just revoke citizenship. Before granted the citizenship, you do swear to obey the laws of the country. If you are an abiding citizen, tell me how they will just come to you and revoke your citizenship. So all those you listed are not true. My own point is that if any has the means to leave, do it for the sake of having two passports just in case. Nothing beats when you possess a first world passport. That doesn't stop you from being patriotic towards Nigeria. It gives you more options. If anything serious occur in Nigeria, you can easily move to your second country as a citizen of that country. Even if you don't want to possess another passport, do it for the sake of your kids. Majority of the politicians that are lavishing Nigeria resources have dual citizenship. Most of them bought passports of other countries with money they stole from politics. And non of their kids school in Nigeria. When they are sick, they fly abroad for treatment. That alone should make one to have sense that the common man should find his way and secure his feature too just in case Nigeria ended up being a jungle. I am not even talking about the insecurity issues but rather I am talking about securing your future and that of your kids by possessing another passport of a first world country. With that, the world will be in your palm. You can travel to many top world countries visa free without the limitation of our Naija passport. Being a Nigerian is a limitation on its own. By the way, for the issue of insecurity, here are some bad news regarding that aspect. My question is are we truly safe in this our Dear country Nigeria? Bro, I leave the answer to you. Here are the threads just in case you don't check front page: 1) https://www.nairaland.com/6360863/wole-agboola-kidnappers-kill-oyo 2) https://www.nairaland.com/6361551/gunmen-assassinate-man-pregnant-second 3) https://www.nairaland.com/6361500/gunmen-kill-imo-accountant-generals-brother 4) https://www.nairaland.com/6361962/gunmen-kill-ebonyi-lecturer-engaging |
Re: Canada Hype And Travel Rush: Here Are Things You Need To Know by Nobody: 10:19pm On Jan 13, 2021 |
I see how frustrated some people could be and the best way for them to ease it is to come on a social media to mislead or brainwash them. 1) you are wrong, Bayo Ogunlesi is a Nigerian billionaire living in diaspora. 2) Lebanese and Indians you made mentioned of are crooks. The reason is because they know that labour is very cheap in Africa. This is because of our crazy leaders. Labour should not be cheap. In a developing country or in an advanced country,you pay hugely for labour. 3) Yes like I typed,this is because of cheap labour and you can wave your taxes and boycott service charges. 4) Wakeup o. If u earn 100million naira in naija,the truth is that u still live in naija. The crooks and thieves that called themselves billionaires in naija children are not based in naija. Have you ever wondered why 5) if you have children... I would advise you to move away from that shithole country called naija so that your children do not swear for you when they become matured. 6) Big lie.... SARS are the most deadly uniform men in the world. Its only that naija do not have records. Look,when i was based in naija,SARS robbed me simply because they saw me with cash at 9pm whilst i was driving home. They collected all the money from me and told me that would spare my life for me to see another day. 7) Yes... do you know why? White people do not have like working like Nigerians does at home. They prefer to work 3-4 days a week and travel for the rest days. A graduate in naija works 12 hours a day. 6 days a week. At the end... they earn below 100k..madness how dare you mention Kuwait,south Korea. For goodness sake. These countries are not democratic countries. 9) if you get $800 as your weekly paycheck. Why would you not be able to pay for your rent monthly? Living in Nigeria is very cheap. Have you visited Ghana before? Living in Ghana is more expensive than living in most part of countries in Europe yet, the houses in Ghana can't be compared to naija. Naija houses are way better off. 10) My advise for you is that even if you earn 100million naira in naija. You are still based in naija. Leave that shithole country to secure the future of your kids. Anyone who studied in naija must require English proficiency to study in an advanced country. Is that not madness? I know you are comparing Dangote to rich Nigerians in diaspora. One thing I will tell you is that dangote is the one ruling naija. Everything he does favours him,he is number 1 politician in naija. All boarders are shut in naija yet only dangote and BUA are allowed to move. Nigeria has the market due to the population but that population is a liability. If you want the best for your kids,kindly relocate and leave that shithole country. You need money to migrate. A word is enough for the wise. Princewill1: |

blackpanda: I agree with this to an extent based on where you decide to settle. When you travel to Vancouver,Toronto,Montreal for example, you only see the beauty,but living there will can be a nightmare. You will likely never be able to afford a house there and live in a rented for the rest of your life and have only hundreds of dollars saved in your account, due to the high cost of living. Key thing is to cut your coat according to your size and try not to accumulate much debt |

nnennachiji: Off course bro. .. na to japa if naija ain't working for your personal circumstances. Bear in mind that some people have it all in Nigeria and those types don't need abroad , hence migration is a consequence of economics, good economics provides good quality of life and vice versa. In addition, abroad can cap your potential but you'll achieve the quality of life you want , but it comes at a cost.. very big cost. That was the point all along! |
