Please say no more. Where I work we have non "good" English speaking Filipino cleaners, these people with their terrible English earn 23 dollars per hour confirmed and they do an 8 hour shift. I dont have to tell you people about the cleaning job in obodo oyibo, its not naija dirty soak-away/toilet/ offices cleaning job, it's a white mans environment cleaning job where even I can afford to eat amala and ewedu inside their toilets.

Mortuary attendants Nko? The money they pay them is enough to buy nairaland. yet one eediot is busy talking trash whilst waiting for a relative to send him /her western union.

Let Nigeria offer cleaners 500 naira per hour and see If these lunatics won't rush the job. Goats

queenvic: Nigeria will only change when Nigerians CHANGE THEIR EXPECTATIONS !

All Children deserve a Good Modern education in a Clean SAFE Enviroment !

We in England and US want Equality and Justice in our Fatherland, and we need to be Understood and not Condemned for SPEAKING OUT !

Pataki:
Everyone has their own preferences. When I visited Nigeria, I had people telling me they cannot relocate abroad. Simply because they are used to the lifestyle of people like Afam doing boy-boy at their beck-n-call.

Take a random sample of the working elite on the Politics board, you would discover the sheer illiteracy ravaging that country. I landed in Nigeria and custom/immigration officer was asking me, what I brought for him?

What I cannot stand stand further is when a mushin-olosha tout like Afam who has been beaten by a million mosquitoes yesterday night will come here and tell me he is living a better life in Nigeria.

But why the hell would someone with a Masters Degree be doing Mr. Biggs Security in cold cold cold Aberdeen?

coogar:

$23 per hour? that's some cool cash and they do 40 hours between monday and friday. that's almost $1000 per week.

the thing is nigerians in nigeria just love to talk a good game. most of them are hypocrites and they would jump into any plane out of nigeria without a second thought.

how did this happen if nigerians are not hypocrites?

that's 7000 nigerians defrauded by a man that promised them a trip to canada. majority of them were into full employment when this happened and i am sure afam and his army of lunatics screaming on this thread were among the victims.

Why will he insult his own country if he hasn't seen something new/different?

jennykadry:

Thank you. I had issues with NIN last year simply because I stated that my children will not school in Nigeria. How can they... When the land of kangaroos has more to offer them? I dey craze

jennykadry:

I am telling you it's confirmed 23 dollars per hour

Lmao...I remember the first time you were given a link to that crystal thread, you almost died. I followed that story from the beginning and we were condemned and insulted for telling them its fraud. One even said we were jealous cos they were coming to join us.

Emeka, a final year student of FUTO can’t believe the outcome. “I was supposed to take aptitude test for a job my father had arranged. How do I face my father, what will be my story? I investigated well, I went as far as visiting a native doctor in Ogun State and he confirmed that it was real. I know it is real, its NAPTIP that wants to spoil the business.”

Suleiman a businessman in Kano blames the police for failing to alert them, and said “I can’t believe that I have been defrauded. I consulted an alfa and he confirmed it.”

Chidi who claimed to have resigned from a job that pays him as much as N120,000 a month lamented that he sold almost everything he had to embark on the trip. He claimed to have given Olawale about N500,000 to ensure that his name is in the first batch. “I investigated this matter properly. I even went to GTBank and they confirmed that the travellers cheques had been processed and handed over to Fred.

If a bank as big as GT would be convinced that this man is real why won’t I believe? If this is scam then, the bank, police, Federal High Court, Immigration and even lecturers are part of it. During the symposium at Unilag, a staff of the bank addressed us on how to use the travellers cheque when we get to Canada.

The immigration woman told us that it was real. The lecturer that claimed he came from LASU was there. There was also a representative from the NDLEA who advised us to stay away from drugs. I am seriously suspecting that NAPTIP is a spoiler because Fred refused to play ball.”

Another victim Lukeman lamented that Fred collected money from them and is still withholding their passport. “I am a master’s degree holder and cannot believe what is happening. I am sure that this man must have visited the highest juju in Nigeria to perfect the plan.”

Olalekan, is one of the lucky ones who parted with only N75,000 before he discovered that it was a scam. He wrote a letter to the embassy that informed him the deal was not clean.

A banker who is yet to come to terms that this is real thanked his stars that he did not tender his resignation letter before the bad turn of events. “My sister, I have my resignation letter in my pocket as we speak. Thank God I did not submit it. Three of my friends who were affected had resigned

collynzo2: Come back and help effect the changes, posting pictures will not solve anything. How will Nigeria get better if the default solution on most people's mind is to run away from the country? The founding fathers of US and UK toiled to mark their countries what they are today. They didn't build their countries by running away to other nations.

jennykadry: If Nigeria had something better to offer them, they wouldn't be doing the security job.

It was when I left Nigerians knew that you don't necessarily have to be a PHD holder to make it, a "common" certificate owner here can earn up to 165k per year.

A 19 yr old miner recently quit his job and got a job elsewhere, when I asked him why e told me the other job was offering him 130k which was over 20k more than what he was earning. Can someone please tell me how much that boy would make by the time he clocks 30...can a 19 yr old from an average family earn that in that country without involving himself with illegal tinz?

Nonsense

Chrisbenogor:
As for earning power, I think things should be put in the correct context. Earning 10k USD in naija and 10k USD outside do not amount to the same thing at all, from tax to everyday living expenses ( rent, cost of gas, cost of labour - nanny et al) what we should really be looking at is the free cash flow the person has at the end of the day......I think.

coogar:

by the time you deduct income tax, fuel for generator, borehole, lordmart generators, security, vigilante, hospital bills, car maintenance(due to bad roads & traffic), the man in nigeria is left with almost nothing.

then there are intangibles - pollution(sound, water and air), outbreak of any disease, menace of the underworld men, police harassment, job insecurity, low life expectancy. can you quantify those?

look into the eyes of the average nigerian(especially lagosians), it's always bloodshot! and i am not talking about the alcoholics and the weed smokers. i am talking about the regular people.

Pataki:
I would have stayed to effect my change. The few months I stayed in that country, I only realized even Nigerians like you are not ready for the change! Nigerians are way too docile. You all love the status quo, where nothing works but everyone is satisfied that I am at least better than my neighbor.

One of my friends is a top business man in Nigeria. He is an employer of people into his own company. Everyone uses 'sir' for him at work, when we left his place of work and I got to his house, I was shocked to find him trying to whine and turn on his own generator to power electricity. Big boy on the streets, generator boy at home. I asked him, for how long do you want to continue living this kind of life?

I grew up shouting - UP NEPA! I will not allow my own kids to live that kind of life.

Pataki:
Adding to that intangibles, the aso-ebis, the owambes party, the extended family and periodic visitors who expect something.

PureOhio: NIN and NID are the same to me in the grand scheme of things .....

NID complain about how much they wish they were back home to evade tv license folks (lol); not.be bothered about credit card debts and numerous bills.

NIN complain about the basics; no traffic lights, no electricity, water, fuel, etc..

Theoretically, one isn't better than the other.

So many NID want to come back home to escape constant 9-5s and huge taxes, and NIN want to go to America to pluck diamonds from the trees.

Nigeria has a huge advantage over diaspora; there are so many basic problems in Nigeria that with enough capital it's easy to become super rich.

So there really shouldn't be an argument of who is better. We both have we want.

collynzo2: And you think the solution you can offer that your friend is to ask him to run away from the country? At least he's doing his best to make the country better by running his business, employing people and all that. He has played his part. Running away is never the solution. Americans and Germans didn't build their countries by running away. Some of you never profer solutions, all you do is complain all the time or advise others to leave the country(hell hole as they call it).

Health
Thats a no brainer, healthcare abroad is waaaaayyyyy better than naija, it is also waaayyyyy more expensive, how much goes to health for the man abroad ( medical insurance) vs the man in naija who prolly had just malaria and got some malaria pills from the very posh pharmacy near his house I guess thats why life expectancy is low

Pataki:
It is a hell hole. Within the last few years, I have lost a few uncles due to what: unstable power supply, armed robbers, bad road and bad health care services in Nigeria.

If I love someone, I will educate them on what is better. When you lot mention American and Germans, you fail to realize one thing. These countries are still building their countries! Development is a continuous process. This is why they never fail to get the best of brains out there for themselves. On the opposite, Nigeria easily flushes out her own best of brains.

What a hell hole!

jennykadry: Health care is cheaper for me here cos I don't pay for it, free as they come

El Guapo:

Do u know how gossip Is best defined?

''When u talk about a Problem u're not part of and u've got no solution for''

The Western world are way ahead of Nigeria in every ratification and ramification. And for the fact that ill administrative offices has resorted to selfish outputs other than having the country's plight at heart shouldnt foment ur course to diss the Country and the People innit.

Yeah Ghana has Improved but are they better than Nigeria? Hell No, I can swear to the fact that Enugu, Ph, Calabar would give their Capital State Accra a run for its reputation.

Botswana, Cameroon, Senegal, Gabon, Uganda, Togo, Angola, Liberia etc are way behind this country that ve been unfortunate to be graced with mediocres as administrators.

Jenny is obviously having a buttpain or maybe would be in her periods, she should vent her grievances on the FG and not to generate a stark 'Fable' about Nigerians.

Pataki:

I am not talking as one who is enstranged from Nigeria. But rather one who knows what it means to live in a hell hole and still call it a country. Do the people living in Nigeria respect Nigeria in its totality? NO! How do you then expect people who have seen what a sane environment should look like, now be asked to respect and call Nigeria what it is not. Sorry it does not work that way with me.
