bellong: Please give me practical workable examples I have ranted on and on about the ills How can it be changed Let us hear you An earlier poster says there are things I can do to be the solution How? School children are sitting under an Iroko tree to study because the LGA chairman chopped the money and teachers are owed for 6 months so rather than teach,they come with okirika to sell because they need to feed their family How can I help change that situation,by building schools,hiring teachers,paying them,buying books for the children or teaching them myself Tell me 2 Likes |

Babymama1: You do not live in Nigeria, I may be short of idea on how best you can contribute your 2 cents. However, when you were "harassed" by custom and immigration officials, did you take time to find a superior officer and lodge a complaint? Did you send in a complaint to servicom? When you encountered a bad medical practise in hospital, did you forward your observation, complaints and annoyance to Nigeria Medical association for further investigation and disciplinary measures to be taken against the hospital? If your bad experiences were to happen where you currently reside, how would you have tackled it? Start by doing what you would have done where you presently live. Anytime you visit Nigeria, do you obey traffic rules or follow the bandwagon to break it? Do you join queues or you rather call someone to speed the process for you? The little you can do is by doing what is right at all times even if you are standing alone. 9 Likes |

This is one of the moments where I wish to deny someone Internet access Some people will google the world wide web to find a fault with something and take it as a proof to make a comparison that does not make any sense at all. Comparing the USA to Nigeria is like comparing the Iranian national football team to the German one or like comparing Serena Williams to Oprah or better Patience Jonathan to Hillary Clinton. I am quite sure that a rather badly managed hospital in the USA is still MUCH better than an average Nigerian hospital. You really dare to talk about mental care? How are the mentally ill treated in Nigeria? tintingz: Yes USA hospitals, health systems are better than Nigeria 6 Likes |

BABE3: send 2 passport photographs & $80, i will mail your driver's license to you within 10 days. bellong: the quickest way to die in nigeria is by applying what obtains abroad to how they drive there. bellong, you can only play by the rules when other motorists are obeying the same traffic rules. nigerians know nothing about traffic rules. the right of way belongs to the car already negotiating a round-about everywhere in the world except in nigeria. the only way to survive out there is to join them. 2 Likes |

Nigeria is the only country I go, and I sleep with my eright eye open. If it's not gunshots from armed robbers, gunshot from, police, scaring check points with diesel fire lights in a Milo container, noise from vigilante group etc. Just a visit to Ghana will tell you how bad we have deteriorated. Cotonu, Ghana , even Cameroon.. You sleep very well. Even the people in government are not sure of their security.

You know it's so difficult to agree what you don't see or experience. I don't blame some Nigerians that see our criticism as been unpatrotic. Some will tell you they rather die in Nigeria than travelling else where for better life, I would say good for you. Talk of our educational sector..... Take a visit to our public schools and see how they are treating those kids like animal. They would sit and write on the floor. No chair, and their parent are paying taxes. Fashola can wake up one day and increase students school fees by more than 100 percent in a country where there is no student loan. Anytime I think about that country, I cry inside me. 3 Likes |

Babymama1: Because you had a number of bad experiences in Nigeria does not mean that the country is useless. Perhaps you just seem to attract only people who look to cheat you. The first time I returned to Nigeria after 10 years of living in the States I had a most pleasant experience which made me rethink my long held hatred for Nigeria. I landed at the international airport in Lagos chartered a taxi and made my way to the local airport upon my arrival I realized that I was short on cash to pay the cab guy. Being a JJC and the oyibo accent flying out of my mouth even though I tried my best to cloak it, I had to find a way to pay the cab guy. Keep in mind I was in Lagos and all my luggage was in the cab. The cab guy suggested that I go inside and look for an ATM to withdraw money from while he circles the airport (if a cab guy in Naija and Lagos for that matter suggests that to me today, I won't even try it). I left all my luggage inside the cab and went into the airport to withdraw money without even blinking an eye with full confidence that when I get back the cab guy will still be there. I went in got the cash and came back out and guess what the cab guy was still there waiting for me. Men when I told my mom what I did, omo the woman was shocked. Momsy told me plain and simple my dear you are no longer in yanki ooo. This is naija and everyone na 419. The moral of the story is that in every society you will meet the good, the bad and the ugly. So coming here and bashing an entire country because you had one or two bad experiences is wrong. Yes we are not the most honest people but having stayed in Naija for close to 4 years now I can honestly say I have not parted with money that I didn't have to. Off course there are some frustrating points peculiar to naija but we are the ones to change that. You can't tell me that you've never received bad service in America or being duped. Staying in America and complaining that Naija is bad is pointless. What have you done to make it better 6 Likes |
