Most nigerian come to the country with the hope of grabbing loads of pounds and going back as a made man

the reality is the queens money remains the queens money- the money just keep going in and going out of your account which is normal for residents because that's their home n u do everything to get comfy and with the system 
but most people don't want to integrate into  the system, they want the money to pile up n "ja" back to naija


if u want to live n be comfy life in the U.K/abroad your heart can't be in 2 places at once- not impossible but difficult

im sure there have been studies on this shizzle i'm no expert 

jsut googled some :

These immigrants are referred to as ‘transnationals’ or ‘transmigrants’ because they “develop and maintain multiple relations--familial, economic, social, organizational, religious, and political that span borders” (Glick Schiller, et al., 1992: 1-2).

Old Glory:

Your reputation for hating on the west is clear.

Honestly, i dont hate the West, in fact i made little COINS from the West. But i hate Over-blowing the west.

LoverBwoy:

Old Glory i don't really know myself

but funny enough i have been thinking(can u see what this man is making me do )

maybe
He went to the U.K on a 6months visiting Visa with the hope of getting a good job(manager) with his certificate(s) and experience from Nigeria, upon getting to the U.K , it was quite cold and everyone seem to be busy working and can't really assist him properly. He visited some places in and out of london even got a schengen visa went to Paris . Still no Big Man job- visited the libraries queued up for the internet as there are just too many school kids playing games and watching Wrestling n Goals scored by Thierry Henry
the whole 6months was coming to an end did lots of research about the socio-economics of the U.K, listened to lots of Nigerians in peckham esp those without papers how they whinged and moaned about working working and working to get money no time to do owambe or even went to some owambe n was surprised how there were sooooo many nigerians esp those that were moaning about the weather n too much work

Went back to nigeria with loads of presents for the whole family including that young sister down the road
Ahh i just don't know only Mr Kola can tell us the ko ko (the main the main)

You be witch!

How did you get to know all these facts?

Loverbwoy

I see how it is!

Kola

That is what happened right? You are now stuck in Nigeria, and they have refused to renew your Visa! So you are now an angry Lad!

Old Glory:

Oh my God!

Lord, i beg give me visa AGAINNNNNNNN o.

@ Topic sorry 4 my digression

@Kola, i was just responding to ur 95% statistics. I was startled, but i was not trying to change the topic. I just broke down the stats 4 u and gave u the prices of computers to show u that anybody, again anybody that needs a computer could have one well within his reach. I had even thought u were talking of Nigeria . I was just telling u the facts. Ifu have a friend who has been a student in the U.S 4 a while ask him. Life is tough everywhere and anybody that wants to be stress free needs to commit suicide, not travel over to the west.

mochafella:

@Akolawole and Sage

I see say Akolawole and Sage don carry their Naija versus Yankee and Jand discussion reach here. We no want fight ooo.

.

No i have no probs with Kola. I just tell him the real truths and we debate. No infighting. As somebody who has spent some years in the two parts of the great divide, i can present a largely unbiased assesment of the two places.

I have never said anything regarding computers in US. Why should i? I know virtually nothing about Yankee.

I was quoting United Kingdom.

I repeat, Computers is not really within everyone's reach(as in affordability) in UK.

Thank God you do not know "Anything about the US". God is great!

WoW, this thread is still on

diz is still on

To all you Brits

Them Fcuken Arabs are at it again. They keep trying to make chemical weapons to hurt people. These people are savages. And you guys come here and say the UK is better than the USA. These rag wearing bandits are going to kill more innocent people in the UK until they are brought to Justice. UK is filled with these "Sand Nigga$" and thank God they are in check in the US. www.cnn.com or www.bbc.com

You obviously have had a bad personal exprience with them Asian blokes. Lost a girl to one of them or what

Desiree

Arabs not Asians. I just think they have Hijacked their religion for personal gains. And there are too many of them in London. Did not lose nothing to them. In the US they are very timid and in the UK the are very vocal. I guess it is because they are not many here (Thank God). But yeah a bit too many in the UK for my comfort.

I agree with you there and the reason is that the UK is very welcoming to people from all works of life and encourage them to express themselves with whatever platform the wish to use. It would have been the same case for Nigerians in the UK too, if they wanted to but we Nigerians are just too busy with other thing to be bothered with terrorism in the name of religion.

sik thread all i gota say is US all the way baby my momz british livves and works there so i been there a lot and def cant stand the small shit but it aint their fault the country small as a whole shit im 6'4'' and i feel average in the states went across the pond and i felt like shaq ery wur i went hehe but yeah amongst other things educations def better cant stand the a level o level crap and theres just more of an entrepreneurial spirit in the Us any one can really b anything if u dream big keyword BIG

They do welcome people. YES

EXPRESSING THEMSELVES------- I beg, i disagree.

1) How many black people beside cleaners work in those multinationals in London L:iverpool street?

## Take a look at this, A Ghanian friend also a British citizen, just finish his masters, he had 2-1 in first degree. He is fillig shelves in Sainsburys.

I think yankee is better.

I find your posts do not represent reality and actual events that affect the whole population as a whole, they are just anecdote of your personal life.

I also have a friend in the States, she has both a first and second degree in IT/Computing and she still earns a little over £5 per hour and lives in a shared accommodation with 2 other girls. She is now contemplating going into nursing. If you feel the US of A is better for you then go there and let those in the UK be.

Desiree

Does she have papers to work with? Our Unemployment dipped yesterday to a record low of 4.6%. She might not have papers.

@Kola

Is this really you? But for real you are right the US is much better, and i know you have not been here before, but you can ask people.

@old glory

She was born there , how could she not have papers to work!!!

check out this video, this would only happen in the Uk about a nigerian woman that died due to their new law.

Amen. I feel sorry for the people reading this thread that will think the US is the land of honey. They'll be in for a rude awakeing when they arrive there.

@Badman888,

This was a truly tragicevent. I'm not sure what would have happened if this had occured in Canada.
But I have a feeling that if it had been in the States and she'd had no health insuranceshe would not have
been treated either.

No ma.

I was previledge to do a good job[ not by myth but by God's grace].

Akolowale

If you had a good job and a good life, why are you back in Nigeria? Were you working Illegally in the UK? Can you go back to the UK? And by the way what are you calling a good job? For real bro were you deported?

@OldGlory

1) Please, always type my name correctly.

2) I have given my first name and i believe i must not give a complete picture of myself. Two Nairalanders knows me inside out, maybe they can help you.

3) Why must i live in Abroad permanently?. You may choose to Die in United States.

4) Did you say "Deported", Why must i be deported? What for? I am a respected Nigerian.

5) About good life and good job? To God be the glory. I am comfortable.

@ Akolawole

Don't mind Old Glory, he may be suffering from narrow minded-ness.

@KwikBabe

welcome back!

Have you seen my thread on the leaked exam paper in UK.

I am sure OldGlory and other pro-west will not comment on that.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-14451.0.html

For us, we will continue to report the good and [b]the bad [/b]of the west.

Akolawole (Spelling OK I hope)

You have only been to the one side of the west. US and Canada is a totally different ball game. I am not sure that you give both sides of the story, you are too negative and i am too positive. I guess it is based on our experiences in Life.

Peace

Kiwibabe

No need for the name calling.

this thread is still on Jeez!!! and still the same arguments!!! And the Americans still desperate to defend the US .

@OldGlory

I am not too negative.

I think its good to report it as it is.

Up till today, i have never seen you telling us few bad patches about US. To you everything is good in Yankee.

I may not have been to Yankee but i am previledge to have been to France and Germany as well [membersof the so-called richest country]

Akolawole

Yankee is all Good to me. I can only speak for myself. I am telling it like it is. From my Vantage point. I am legal, i work, i am living right. What can i tell u.? It is working out well at least for me.I cannot speak for anyone else.
