Godogwu:

Nahh not atall. lets see, what exactly are you trying to achieve by ...showing all this tho?


1. its a fact I live in a way bigger and better house than you do (not bragging)

2. I may be just 19 but I'm worth more than you ever will have in the US at the moment( again...not bragging)

3. Your either renting your house/apt or you're leasing it, so clearly its not yours yet and the day you don't pay, I guess you are out

4. you are probably a dropout who couldn't make it Nigeria so you had to hustle and buy a one way ticket to the US.

5. you either work at a restaurant, supermarket, or you are a nursing assistant...or you don't even have a job yea?

lets just end it there for now.

playah P:

Shut up nigga!!! Why don't you come back home since its pointless staying there?... I have an aunt like you; she's always complaing about debt and suffering but she doesn't wanna come back!! Going there without a plan is really dangerous and stupid but if you seek the better life; a life where water, good road and electricity, security and justice isn't for the "big men" alone, then go to the developed world!!....
Even if you work hard in Nigeria, how many pple can boast of being middle class citizens??... Can u honestly say that life isn't preferable overthere than here?
Please come back home oh ye middle class citizen! Come and become a billionaire in your father's land!! I promise to give you a place you can squat..... Hediot!

Godogwu:

Actually the best schools are in the US, I don't deny the facts. The thing is why settle for bronze if you can afford gold...my parents can afford to send me and my brother to school abroad so we can have a broader perspective on things (academics/morals etc) and with my grade *sigh* a pretty decent job in Nigeria is waiting in 2014

Tunby: Omo Butter.You never see real poverty thats why you dey talk.

Godogwu:

not everyone has to go through poverty to know whats going on in the world. They say "its not your fault if you are born poor, but its most definitely your fault if you die poor"

Godogwu:

dude/Girl...whatever.... I went to good schools, i was given a good primary and secondary education...( pampers, corona....)and so do most people I associate with, i'd like to believe that not everyone on this forum is some illiterate (Nigeria/diaspora) who blame the government for their misfortunes and don't go out there to make something of themselves but would rather go to a cyber cafe and condemn the country from dawn till dusk....

Secondly, I don't need to see his bank account for any reason...i know the kind of people I associate with and I can tell that he/she is definitely not my class but I don't class discriminate except when the personality of the person is extremely disgusting and I must say the inferiority complex of this guy is utterly disgusting. Yes, i have actually worked. I did my internship in Nigeria over the summer at my uncle's engineering firm (he's a civil engineer and an architect).

Billyonaire: I hear so much ills mentioned about Nigeria and I sometimes am surprised if its the same Nigeria that people are making multimillion investments and driving the best of cars in more expensive real estates alleys in the world. I never loved to live abroad, never will. I only travel for sight seeing and to buy stuff. This mindset kept me grounded since I was a teenager. I wanna repeat my favorite line; I love Owerri more than New York, I love VI more than London and thats the truth.

Tunby: true.But success would be faster and easier in certain environments than the other,with thesame magnitude of effort.Your going to study abroad is a pretty good example or can you compare corona to an Eleja1 community primary school where the teacher teaches subjects in Yoruba.

Freiburger:
The same Nigeria is where people are living on less that 5 dollars a day, and these people who are making multimillion investments and driving the best of cars in more expensive real estates alleys in the world are doing that in the expense of the less privileged ones.

Godogwu:

Its also in the same us that 50% of the population live on food stamps and another 15-25% are working class people doing menial jobs and mind you if food stamps were taken away by the government, then a whole lot of american would live on less than that 5 dollars a day.

Godogwu:

how many of those people bought those homes completely and are not mortgaging them for 30-50 years....please!

Roland17: Honestly i have been tempted to avoid this topic, but i guess am loosing..

If you were born and grew up in a struggle for everything including the air u breath in Nigeria, you watched your parents hustle day and night under the scorching heat of the sun and were drenched at numerous times under the rain, you get admitted to a Nigerian university to pursue a 4 year course and u end up spending 5-6 years owing to strikes and different issues bedeviling the educational sector in Nigeria, you finally graduate from tertiary studies and there are no jobs for you, not cos you are incompetent like many graduates the system has unfortunately bred but because of nepotism, bad economy, inflation, corruption and unemployment and you are fortunate to relocate to the US, your mentality about Nigeria changes despite how much love you feel for your nation..

Am not talking about people who relocated when they were young and do not understand the life cycle of an average Nigerian, on this forum there are so many Nigerian Americans who fall into this category cos they were either born here or relocated when they were 6-12, they easily cast aspersions on Nigerians who are making attempts to come over, for some, they forget at some point their father had to marry an American/ Green card holder to guarantee them the oppourtunity for a better life compared to the average young kid born in Nigeria, they easily remind you how fortunate they are to be Americans, forgetting the journey of their parents .

Life in Nigeria is not for the Fainthearted, its not for the weak, I AM A TESTIMONY TO THAT, thus when you relocate to a country where the government accepts responsibility for its citizens and residents, then you begin to have second thoughts.

The USA offers everyone an equal opportunity to success (to a very reasonable extent), IT's NOT A BED OF ROSES, BUT IT REWARDS HARDWORKERS, if you are a legal resident, you respect the law, HARDWORKING, pay your taxes, you can live a very decent life and aim higher, a decent life in US, is a Rich life in Nigeria when compared, so why should i not build a good house, buy a good car or live a happy life after working and earning a decent life in the US, why should i not pride my self in my achievements knowing how hard it was for me and my family before i relocated, so please do not blame those who legally earn a living in the US.

Education, Health, social services, Amenities, freedom and true democracy are tangibles, that shock your nerves, yes there is the fiscal cliff, the unemployment numbers has increased in the past years, yes the Housing market is down, but compared to Nigeria, these issues are things you can cope with.

Am never going to encourage anyone to relocate without a plan, or stay illegal here but if u are going to be a P/ Resident, all i can say is WORK HARD, STAY FOCUSED, CUT YOUR COAT ACCORDING TO YOUR SIZE, THE SYSTEM WOULD REWARD YOU WITH A DECENT LIFE AND AN OPPOURTUNITY FOR A BETTER LIFE.

Dis guy has no brain at all....come to nigeria and see where nboyz dey suffer,phd applying as truck driver,over 50000 applicant applyin 4 1500 jobs...havin a functionin infrastructure is enof platform 4 u to excel if u are focus and hard working...abeg keep ur munmun advice to ursef and come back home and let see hw u go turn dangote in 20yrs...I bet na boko boyz go use ied scater ur empty brain..mscheeeeeeeew!

The reason is because this is the land of the middle class. Going to school and working hard is going to land you in the middle class. You will live in a modest home, drive a modest car, and be able to cloth and feed yourself wel
