the thought process of the average nigerian in nigeria is a closed loop. once he closes at work, his brain is in a turmoil thinking about traffic, power supply, how to quickly iron his work clothes for the next day, security, etc.

these are the daily thoughts of the average nigerian - when does he really have the time to think about other stuff? even when he does, he spends less time than his counterpart abroad who does not have these issues on his tab.

Jennykadry? Do u knw I wud av dropped my hat 4 u had it been a wise outburst? Posterity 4 judge u 4 al dis names u r callin ur country al because of u bn a second class citizen over there BECAUSE am vry sure 'if u check ur phlogenetic tree, its likely dat som of ur family members (ancestors) wud av contributed either 'directly or indirectly' 2 bring dis nation to it pitiable predicament::::dats y God will reward u accordingly

Billyonaire: This OP just insulted over 150, 000, 000 Nigerians, most of which she is not qualified to clean their shoes.

No one truly hate you runnerway personally, but I guess people hate yhe cowardice in diasporans who do nothing than criticise.

The fact that you run out to live an easy life doesn't mean most dont travel out now. But we chose to be home, cos home is where heart is. Same reason you find yourself on nairaland than Huffington post.

I know life was tougher for you before you escaped your misery but allow some of the respect while we fight the governments to fix the mess.

Do not insult Nigerians at home cos even you dont come soon, at death you will need mourners to welcome you at "earport".

chucky234: Who thinks of power supply with I-pass-my-neighbour generators going for as low as 10k, our diasporian brothers are amateur drivers thats why they are always bothered about the traffic, we in Lagos are expert seasoned drivers thats traffic is the least of our problems

Chillisauce: OP, how old are you? 10?

You must really have a very low IQ! writing about the ills in Nigeria is different from saying NIN jealous NID. You brain should tell you most ppl those behind the monikers known for statement like " toilet cleaner, dish washers" are just using it for fun or they lack intelligence.
You writing this trash on jealousy clearly put you and them in same level.

Btw, am Nigerian married to a foreigner, with kids .living in the west but I don't see myself stooping down so low to write this, or about how ppl are jealous of me or my career. Only ppl with low self esteem will feel bad if someone calls them a dishwasher. What is even wrong being a dish washer

I totally support the ills you pointed out but you killed it by making comments about jealousy.

Enjoy your thread!

A-town:


Mrs Jenny Kadry,

I think by starting this thread and making some of the comments, you erred big time. Yes there may be people who beef NID and wot not. As a diasporan that has benefitted from the west, the onus is on you to show THEM THE RIGHT way. How about trying to do things that will educate them/make them be less critical. How about putting some of the skills that you have gained into good use when you are back in the country. You are a NIGERIAN first and everything you are today is attributed to being a NIGERIAN. The only reason you appreciate AUSTRALIA is because you have seen WORSE conditions in Nigeria. Rather than castigate these people, you can help alleviate the problem. The only common denomination here is POVERTY. THe only people that have time to beef anyone are the poor ones. THe rich people in nigeria don't have time for that because they are too busy making more money or enjoying their fabolous lives.

As an example, how many times have you seen a diasporan come back to the country, buy gala and fan yogo and then toss it out the window when they wouldn't do such in their country of domicile?
How many times have you seen diasporans come back in the country, have to line up at an office or something and then use their status/pay someone to get ahead of the line?
Their are tonnes of examples available. The question is, is it right for you to accuse a poor man for being oppressed?

Muscomide: Shame on you, JennyKadry. You stay in your 'diaspora'and cast aspersions on your fatherland, Nigeria. Pray tell, who do you expect to develop and improve Nigeria for you to enjoy? It falls upon each and everyone of us to contribute our quota to the development of Nigeria. How dare you? A Yoruba adage says only a bastard of a child points to his or her father's home using a finger from the left hand. If the cap fits you, JennyKadry, you wear it!! And before you accuse me of jealousy, I also, am in diaspora and have dual nationality.

Okija_juju: Jenny Kadry!!



This thread is dead-on-arrival...

Personally... I dont hate Nigerians living abroad.. I just pity most of them.

Niggas.. Trying to feel superior to fellow Niggas, just because the white man gave you a Visa..

1forall: I read through the thread on the subject of the girl in Canada who said she'd get rid of her Nig passport. With so much premium idiocy on display there I couldn't comment because I find it quite tasking to exchange views with dolts.

Where do you start from when those you're trying to engage do not understand the meaning of propriety?
See, in trying to save on expensive data, many probably didn't watch the video, some wouldn't even read the 1st post! You need to understand too that many of these posters on NL are just kids with mobile phones and are; according to Sagamite, truly 'cretinous products of a failed education system' which is actually a very apt description giving the kind of common-sense defying arguments they make.

Clearly it's just a defense mechanism employed to masquerade the misery and despair of the hapless Nigerian situation. It's glaring that they're living in denial of obvious fact and as for me, I feel more of shame and pity for such folk. Even Fela the almighty activist after he had screamed and shouted, got fed up to where he sang 'Look and Laugh' so, I just read and laugh

you mean one can apply online?
really? university application forms can be completed online? damn - i never knew o. thanks for opening my eyes. meanwhile, who do i have to pay to fill this form? i reside in one of the most remote parts of enugu and using the internet is quite expensive here. most times, i have had to climb palm trees or MTN masts to connect to the internet. right now, i am on a tree and once rain starts to fall i must get down to avoid the risk of falling.......

in a nutshell, can you help me fill the form?

coogar:

stats to back up the fact that there's no electricity in nigeria? stats to back up there's no security? stats to back up the untold hardship motorists suffer in long traffics? come on - where's your 6th sense?



omo ibo, can i get an invitation from you?

coogar:

okija-juju, describe your quality of life in 12 sentences. i am talking about your life in the city - not when you are wearing your juju-embroided red mini-skirt @ okija shrine.

collynzo2: It's amazing that with all the 'super Nigerians' in diaspora, Nigerians still have a very bad image! I've seen foreigners (who have never been to Nigeria) write and say stuffs like: Nigerians stink (they don't use deodorants)
Nigerians are rude
Nigerians are thieves and all that.
I doubt if it's the Nigerians at home that built this image.

coogar:

as usual, your post lacks common sense...

your experience is the major driver of the opinion you form about issues. jenny went to nigeria and she felt mistreated even by his own fellow nigerians, is it out of place for her to air her opinions about it?

nigeria will always appear in different hues of colour to different people. some people are having it extremely good in nigeria and some are barely existing in the same country - that does not give you the right to shout down the other divide when they talk about their experience.

this is exactly what the thread is about - majority of nigerians are too quick to judge. some of you lots didn't even read the body of the post before pulling out your daggers like mallams high on khat!




so amateur driving is the reason people spend 4-6 hours to commute from their office to their homes? surely, you must be winding me up!

coogar:

is it the same moet that mr patel sells at £25 you are talking about like it's diamond. the ones you even drink in the clubs in nigeria are mostly fake. biko, priorities differ when talking about lifestyle. to you, popping champagne is the pinnacle of achievement......to the average diasporan, his thinking is way ahead.



i cannot believe omo ibo would return o - i thought your love for stamford bridge would motivate you to buy a mortgage in belgravia or kessington gardens.

jennykadry:

Eediot, was he kidnapped? Dunce

jennykadry:

Good to know you have only been to three countries and thought it wise to brag about it here, a complete proof of pot calling kettle black . Yes destinies differ, we do not hate you people that live in that cursed nation, so don't hate us that believe and know that that country isn't up to our standards and for that reason choose to live outside the country.

collynzo2: Your posts are always wrapped in stupidity. I don't even know where to start from in asnwering that question. This is someone who wants to come back and 'take our jobs'. With the kind of IQ you've displayed here?

jennykadry: These same NIN are busy traveling to obodo oyibo to have their babies, if Nigeria was so superb why are many of the rich seeking citizenship elsewhere for their kids??

A-town:

Answer the question and stop diverting. You said the thought process of an average nigeria is closed loop and i asked if you had stats?

sanniemoe:
Forget whatever Mr Patel is selling. Quality is different from quantity. I know boys wey never go Cotonou and would run down any bar in London... NAIJAREPPIN TILL I DIE.. Lagos hustler toh gbayi mehn..I wouldn't trade This place for anywhere in the world ifI have money. if police no protect me,enuff area boys go die for me. Who wan bother me for tax?worse,I go pay am if I'm caught evading unlike u folks abroad,try evade and spend half a lifetime in jail... I can do almost anything in this country. Nowhere like the place I from..

successking:

Taking a deep look at Nigeria, one will see clearly that Nigeria is not cursed in any way, but people like you who preferred slavery to freedom in a modern free world are cursed.

Donxavier:

What kind of twisted reasoning is this God punish our leaders that have made the country the way it is. So because you drive in a rowdy environment you have become an expert driver; smh
