zerocool: One man told me, if you bring all Nigerians to the United States or U.K, the system will turn corrupt and spoilt. (Electricity, Water Supply, Roads, Infrastructures, Politics!! etc). And if you do vice versa, take all Americans to live and settle in Nigeria, She will be the world's envy and the NEW AMERICA.
So true!!
What a country called Nigeria!!! Truthfully @OP, it will take so much years and you will be long dead and rotten, before you even experience any working system. So, Keep blabbing at those with their brain cells working effectively.

Godman_n: As one that lived studied and worked abroad, but choose to come home out of sure patriotism and also bc I don't want the stress of obtaining permanent residency; Nigerians at home are mostly ignorant, corrupt and lack any understanding of what we lack as a nation. they can hardly get how we've been set thousands of years back by our leaders.

Criminals like you are the hypocrites, are you not the same person running visa scam? Are you not the same person organizing fake marriages for Nigerians abroad? Now you have the gut to insult people because you were exposed? Silly cow.

Deleting your previous fraudulent threads will not help you, i quoted you then.

Damn!! You don't need to hate on people's hustle, everyone out there is a criminal... My solictor(from a big law firm in London) used to tell me back in the days when I hustling in a major way(my teen years) that it's just about not getting caught because everyone out there is involved in one crime, or the other... Right now, I'm professional and I 'hustle' with my pen and IQ in a legit way, but I don't evvy people out there, who're trying to survive... It's a cold world out there, and life in London isn't that easy, especially if you're on a visa...

I know some are greedy, but when people are trying to survive, you need to let them be, bro... Nigerians aren't the only criminals in the UK - there are more Asians and White criminals out there, doing major crimes worth millions of £££££... However, dailymail just loves putting Nigerians/Africans on blast, and 'holier than thou' Nigerians like you run with that nonsense...

I bet you think all those Asians driving Ferraris, Bentleys, and Rolls Royce around London and Birmingham got their money in a legit way, no?? Bwahahahaha

Billyonaire: Do you mean your braincell is working and you pour this hate out here ? I do not know what working braincells mean anymore. Cos I do not understand why, you guys think we do not visit those countries you slave for. I come there, dine and wine and shop for things I need to clean my toilet then remember that there is Nigeria to build, so I think your braincells need mechanics.

Billyonaire: You make some sense there. No one is a saint, saints are usually poor. The 11th Commandment says 'Thou Shalt Not Get Caught'. But make una take am easy to dey ruin our names.

ajileko: Nothing works in this country. Absolutely nothing. It's like whole bunch of animals living in the bush, anything goes.
And please when you travel, please hide your passport.

zerocool:

Yeah there is a Nigeria to build?? Guy, Stop joking and face reality.

Nobody cares for you in Nigeria, nobody gives a poo. You build it and they name you after a tiny street in your hometown in Oshogbo or build you a statue. Lmao.
I bet you can ask Anikulapo's family or M.K.O Abiola's family, how it feels to want to be the hero.
Can you tell me where Rashidi Yekini is today and how well he was treated while alive??
Do you know how many Nigerian athletes represented other countries in the just concluded Olympic Games? Do you know how many Nigerian Doctors are in the US? They all made the right decisions by taking care of themselves and their immediate family, thereby contributing their little quota to the development of the Nigeria.
You are a no-brainer if you want to be a (Nigerian) nation builder.

stillwater: I've never seen people who revel in their sh.it more than Nigerians in Nigeria. What a disgrace!

justwise:
What exactly are you going on about? Things are hard out there so we should all live on crime? Crime is crime, doesn't matter who committed it, its funny to you when you are nicking people's stuff, when yours is nicked you come out sweating blood.

shymexx:

I never said everyone has to start committing crimes... However, it's problematic when you and your ilks start 'Nigerianising' every crime out here like it's only Nigerians that do it... A woman(Dentist) just got nicked today for defrauding NHS about £1.4million, and she isn't Nigeria...
Asians(Indians) are model immigrants in the UK, with Ferraris, Bentleys, RRs etc.. but they run a crime enterprise in West Midlands, bigger than anything Nigerians would ever dream off... Yet, you and your ilks don't badmouth them - they still put them on a pedestal like all their businesses are legit...
Do your thing and let others do their thing - life is about the survival of the fittest...

Billyonaire: You tried to make a little sense, but as I read on, you derailed to some sinister cheap punk tactics. When you mention 3 names of people who were not recognized, did you care enough to mention the names of the captains of Industries and Capitalist venturers who have blessed be awared honors by the Government. Do you think running away from Nigeria will make Nigeria better, I say Hell No!, Only cowards will run away from where there is work to be done to fix a broken and battered country. The truth remains that those countries you reside are adopted home, at some point in your life, you will want to come back to your natural home either as aged old man without natural history back here or as a dead meat popularly called Corpse, and hey, charter flights cost a lot to bring in dead body, you better save well well.

Nightshift: After working my bottom off to send money to that damn economy, i feel better than an Ibori or a Balogun who steals Nigeria's money to make sure that Switzerland children have the best education and healthcare, while our own children in Nigeria are dying because their parent can't afford a hospital bill. Stolen Nigerian money in foreign banks never just lay low there,it works for the citizens and government where the stolen monies are.

Listen, i'm a Nigerian and can only talk about issues affecting me as Nigerian and not as Indian or Pakistani, what does that got to do with me? Are there not Asians to worry about their own image?

Why should i be bothered about crimes committed by other nationalities? What do you take me for? Ba Kim Moon?

ndu_chucks:

The above is a bunch of crap which could only come from typical bitter diasporans. You all forget that some of us have lived in the USA and other countries just like you currently do. Most people who have a balance of just $300,000 in a US account will dispute your statement.

To the extent that a bank will offer you a cup of coffee just as they would a millionaire, you may be right. But try to talk to a loan officer about a personal loan and see if you get the same treatment as a millionaire would get. I'm assuming here that as an Okoro man, you did not keep $1million in a single account but you spread the money in different banks and some under ya matress, hence you will not get the millionaire's treatment.

While you are talking to a loan officer, sweating, a man with $1million balance is taken upstairs for a more personal banking experience.


People like the overanalyst , ekt_bear are hailing your statement and I am sure he can come up with a theoretical or academic explanation for your position, but I'm afraid your position is not supported as a practical matter.

thelastPope: I am really getting irritated by many Nigerians in diaspora. They seem bent on seeing Nigeria and Nigerians go down. They come here and all over other Internet sites spewing garbage about Nigeria. They will put down anything positive about Nigeria. It seems they are suffering from gross bitterness.

There is no denying the fact that Nigeria has many issues but we cannot solve it by hating ourselves with so much raw hate and talking nonsense all the time. There is a time to critisize. For example, I like to criticize our excesses on materialism as a people which leads us to many unwanted stuff like corruption and crime. But insulting the nation and saying we will never make it and making us look so pathetic to the rest of the world is just too bad! We have our dignity and pride and we will never sacrifice that on any alter of self defeat and hopelessness.

If these bitter diaspora folks can't see anything good about Nigeria and Nigerians, I wonder why they even bother to post on Nigerian forums. They should carry their crap somewhere else. They forget that they are part of those who have failed Nigeria because they have not made any meaningful contribution to Nigerian growth.

Some of us travel out of the country and know how many of these folks live in Europe and even the US. In spain, Italy and Greece, many of them beg on the streets. In the UK, I don't even want to start. They haul themselves, sometimes as much as 15 in a 2 room apartment! Yet they talk nonsense here on NL because they can afford cheap Tmobile internet connection.

We have no other country but Nigeria. We must stand up and build it. Yes, it is a long road but it is a journey worth taking! Our families and friends live here. The question we must ask ourselves today is how can we make it better?

Apologies/acknowledgement to the many Nigerians in diaspora who do not fall into this category. Your patriotic contribution is a blessing to some of us!

zerocool:
You still dont make sense to me!!!
Can you hear yourself out, while typing?
FYI, I didnt run away from Nigeria and I visit Nigeria regularly and still do, just as every other person living abroad.
And yeah i said earlier, those who deserved the awards got it, an example is Abacha's son with the highest title in Ijawland and many people with awards in Nigeria. There are sooooo many titles and awards in Nigeria as long as you have money. Nothing works, Nothing is by merit - not even contracts, educational system, judicial system, governmental parastatals.

I dont want any award in Nigeria, Thank you
