Don't worry ,9jatalks is brand new forum and it is more sophisticated than this one.The owner is also in diaspora and the website is hosted and managed offshore so the enemies of progress will never be able infiltrate it.Spread the word to your friends.It is the best place to discuss Nigerian issues without any fear.

ifebosco: thats not enough reason to mortgage your hold live abroad,although you make some sense.

bebe2: Been 12yrs, coming wen security and power improves

ifebosco: not your generation but my generation must enjoy good education good healthcare good security and good infrastructure in nigeria.my fathers generation was a failed and ignorant generation,who had several wife´s and children with out means of livelihood,what do you inspect??we most change our slave and neocolonial mentality,for me im going back home in 4years time,after 21years in europe

This is "Wisdom", l identify with it.
I still visit the area l grew-up as a kid (we have a family house there and my 'portion' still dey there ).
I still "blend" with the guys we grew-up together, some of them are doing well, some are plain gangsters and 'drugist' but l mingle with them like we are still 15years of age! I respect them, they respect me.

It paid-off one day, when some "newbie crook" in the area hatched a plan with his goons, to come and rob my family.
"The Boyz" simply told him to forget the idea, they told him 'The bobo na "part" of us'!

I was informed and they brought him to me eventually, to come and 'apologize' for even thinking about it (and as 'Alaye Boyz' now, you got to part with some cool cash! ..to liven-up the atmosphere ).
I even misplaced my phone in my area, ... they saw it and brought it back to me (l "bailed it" back, even though Police says "bail" is free!)

I feel more secure in my childhood 'hood', than anywhere else in the world.
I know them, they know me, inside out.
I dont form big-man with them, l come down to their level.
I still play footie with them and occasionally, l just buy footie-boots + balls and distribute to my homeboyz.
Those sitting in "Lion-base" get their indian-hemp paid for,...on the house!
I dont drink at all but l breeze-into their beer parlour and buy drinks, stay with them for like 45mins (we argue over nothing sensible) ...and l am off.

Breeds comradeship and they would do anything for me. I dont keep excessive late-nights but if l have to drive around at 3am, OPC/Vigilantee know my Vehicle and its all "Bruus, stop going around at this time, welcome back, anything for your Boyz"?
I hope fellow JJC's will take a cue.

Billyonaire: Most Definitely true, People live abroad for 2 reasons its either you are on top of the hustle chain, working real hard for retirement funds or you are broke. The moment a Nigerian gets comfortable, he heads home. I repeat, No Comfortable Nigerian lives abroad. I want someone to prove me wrong.

They think they are enjoying in Nigeria.It is people like them who will be posing and snapping pictures with flowers when they reach abroad Let them be in their ignorance.Level pass level na,no be beans.They are virgins when it comes to the good life.

She won't be letting the kids go there. I am going to Nigeria in December anyway but I need either a Nigerian passport or visa. 2005 is a long time.

obi2012: 15 years and counting... Came here after secondary schools and thanks to God blessing my parents, i went to university here and got my masters here with no student loans.. my 3 siblings also did the same thing too.. We are all based here and our parents are now american citizens so they can come and visit us as much as they want now they are retired..

We are all established here and all our careers are going well here so it would be tough to try and go back home to start over again with no connections.. Having no family ties back home also makes it tough to relocate.. We all still visit from time to time so the fact that we dont relocate has nothing to do with us being comfortable or not..

REALITY101: Whenever the use of deodorant is enforced by the government..

Cold blooded: I'm sorry to interfere, but don't you think your statement is offensive to Nigeria and Nigerians. Comon' I'm in Nigeria and am not dead yet.

Why is it that whenever most Nigerians leave the shores of this Nation they suddenly turn cold to their Fatherland, making derogatory statements about her and her citizens?
I think life is a choice, you choose the 1 that suits you.

@ ebamma
Some naija based guys too mumu, so now any nigerian based in abroad is either a cleaner or a mortuary attendant, #too many mad peeps here
