Achonam: Op,l wish to tell you in d first place to quickly ask for the meaning of "Sampa" as you spelt it. You just failed from the spellings and the meanings you gave to it. Don't post what you don't know. Secondly,someone here advised you to get a translator, l bet you,that will be the worst thing you will ever do here in China,try n see.Is it not better that a fellow Nigerian benefits from your money than a Foreigner?.to everyone, chinese market has a "percentage" strategy for marketing. E.g when you buy a bag or bags in the Leather market here in Guangzhou the person that brought you to the company is entitled to ¥2 per bag this is universally accepted in china. Had you not want kingsley to take part, you should have studied chinese language at Unizik before coming to china,you can't be taller and shorter at the same time. It is "shangban" meaning "Work" not Sampa. Kingsley actually went to work n you shouldn't expect him to return home empty handed. The chinese man that reported it to you will reap you off try and see. learn chinese language when next you are coming to China. You are calling Kingsley names now though l know is a Pseudo name,but when you will have one or two problems in China you will start seeking the assistance from Nigerians resident in China you won't seek help from d chinese off course they won't help you. Be wise and stop castigating your guy.

o42austino: ur a big fool my friend, the said Kinsley did not steal or dupe d OP, the said guy is acting as agent or broker and he works for his commission but OP tot that the guy shld work for free.
my question to the op is, Did u work for free before u got the cash to go to china?

BankuTilapia2:

You will never say this about nigeria if you were arguing with Ghanaians. You will be here talking big about your and bragging all the way hahaaaaaaaaaaaa. Now see your life

MOBBDEEP: It amazes me that we read the same thing &, yet, some so-called humans are chasing Ringworm instead of Leprosy!!!
Chai!!!
A beautiful brain put this epic piece together for dynamic young minds to think twice about leaving their home country in search of UNSURE goldmine especially when they still have some resources that they can work with in turning good ideas over into gold e.g the cash that Kingsley raised from selling his bequeathed land.
Did the writer complain of inability or hardship paying the silly dubious 'brokerage'-fee that he was trying to swindle him?
Nawa for some people & their sense of judgement!!!!

Thank you OP
It was a nice write-up.

all4naija:
Shut the f**K up! Nigeria is more developed than Ghana in almost all comparisons.

teniyi:
You call your friend a fool? You really lack understanding. Kingsley already had an agreed commission for taking the guy out on each day, yet he still bent of ripping him off just like you people do WHEREVER you are at WHATEVER opportunity.

o42austino: no body is against Op for trying to Educate Nigerians that it is not greener out there but, some of us are against him trying to paint Kinsley black because kinsley is just working for his commission period, be fore he accuse kinsley for been a criminal he should first Answer the below question for me.

1. Did Kinsley organized with the chinese to give u fake product?

2. did Kinsley arrange substandard products for u?

if all that kinsley did is to mark up price then he(OP) shld question his own bizness intelligent.

all4naija: These are my thought of things forcing Nigerians to emigrate.

1) Dirty environment. The surroundings in Nigeria are too dirty and smell bad. Those who manage to leave the country to a new environment where things work orderly won't want to go back home even at the expense of begging to survive.

2) Lack of constant supply of electricity, water, better waste management, good road, good housing, etc.

3) The society. The Nigerian society is too dangerous. Arms men attack innocents routinely.

4) Boko Haram is threatening people and most are afraid to be in the country to be caught in bomb blast.

5) There is no hope of getting a job after graduation due to too many people vying for a particular job. We have seen that happened during the Nigerian immigration recruit.

6) Malaria and other diseases. There are too much diseases in the country that there is constant sickness and lost of proper reasoning from those suffering of malaria without good treatment or good hospitals to take care of them.

7) No hygienic food and drinking water. The food in Nigeria is prepared in a dirty environment and is not clean for human consumption.The same with drinking water. That is one of the reasons why Nigerian children look ugly and horrible.

8.) Selfishness and hate. The society doesn't care about the poor and they are hated.

9) Lack of opportunity. There is no room for the poor to get to leadership positions and do something to help the poor.

10) No welfare programs. There is no program in place that care for the elderly people and youths who couldn't fend for themselves.

11) Barbarism. The human rituals and cultism are scaring people to leave the country for them not to be used by the aggressive ritual practitioners.

12) Huge poor population. The percentage of the poor population is increasing as silly Nigerians are bent on having too many children more than they can care for.

13) No organized and civilized settings. The whole place is like a waste management yard. People don't do things according to rules and regulations. In fact, many Nigerians are taking the backward practice with them to developed nations.

14) Lack of cleanliness, body and clothes. Most Nigerians don't wash their bodies properly and their clothes are usually dirty.

360command: I love your statement made as you quoted 'all4naija', but the fact is, there is what we call 'racial superiority' where one group of race or national sees himself bigger or better than another. I studied in Ghana and I remembered then in class or school that a Ghanaian sees himself better than a burkinabe,ivorian,togolese in terms of its Infrastructure, economy, population size and maybe a level of high IQ which I call 'street smartness'. But when it comes to a Nigerian, its either we are of equal standard from a Ghanaian perspective but to a Nigerian, he seems him self better when it comes to been smart(higher IQ), infrastructure, economy, population size. So 'yes', 'all4naija' won't say what he wrote when it comes to an argument btw naija n ghana. My Opinion.

MOBBDEEP:

I hope you won't hold this as an argument?
You see, something was just askew about Kingsley.
Is that how to go about "middleman" business?
Why didn't he tell the writer right from the beginning what his charges will be?
But, then, I get your drift & understand your point of view which is the fact that Kingsley hasn't committed any criminal offence!
But what about moral infraction?
How would you feel if you are in the position of OP?
Can you do what Kingsley did?

Yet, you need to understand that the main reason for that article was even not about what OP felt Kingsley did wrong with the transaction.
It was from his reflection on life & empathy + pity on Kingsley's perceived present state of life.
He felt, everything & all factors equal, Kingsley would be doing exceedingly great in Nigeria than he is now at China. And that he's presently trapped with just trying to sustain. He's supposedly not living life but struggling it, which to OP might not have been the case supposing he reflected on his proposed actions back then and stayed back.
Especially with the cash he got from the sale of his land.

That article was overall written by the OP & directed at prospective travelers/migrants to reflect well before doing the deed.

Vision2045: why dropping dis link in every front page thread...shey the gal na ur ex ni

rutchiekens:

Nope... The probable cause is lack of self belief.

OXYGEN01: The word developed is new to you abi.As big as mumugeria is n uve managed to develop some small square of land n u call that development. You fools keeps on coming to Ghana like Muslims going to Mecca n u call ur zoo developed? .....Darkness all over your zoo,u pay electricity bills yet u sleep in darkness.Poor educational system, poor health service,poor security n u call that zoo developed.If not foolishness that's making u think that den u must b mad. MUMU

OXYGEN01: Stop flattering urself ok.Every Ghanaian thinks u people are thief's and its a fact.Apart from engaging in fraud, criminal n unnecessary things Ghanaians are superior over u people in everything Ghanaians are sooo great n its
de fact.. How can a nigerian claim superiority over a Ghanaian. You think bombing n engaging in criminal activities means u superior?

Kajiang02: @all4naija.
I don't wanna quote your long post, but do the things you listed there warrant the choice of a Mediocre life and personal choice to dupe your fellow nigerian who probably would have sold a land or borrowed funds to start up his business?

EroZA: OMG

Your country cases are as worse as those on the list!

7lives:
You can not give someone a price of an item and the person turn back and give you another price. I have lived in Dubai and i am in China now , the truth is that some guys can add money if you ask them to enquire for the price of the item . or they take commission because even the Chinese have commission in every shop you go with them. And you guys finally give them money gift when you are going back . but a Nigerian can ask 2% commission while Chinese is on 5% . any shop that a Chinese ask you not to buy their ,just know that the shop did not agree on his or commission and all Africans are doing the same commission thing. But everything has levels.
Brother Nigerian has since gone to the dogs, Nigerians now eat their brothers and this is a fact.
Even when you make a personal investigation on a product and want to use the service of Nigerians abroad to procure the products, they seize the opportunity to inflate the price and if you are unfortunate to have send the money then you are bleeped because your business is messed up. I had an encounter with one of them living in Dubai of recent, a product that is not more than 4 dirhams omo 9ja is telling me its 14 dirhams and I have an arrangement of buying 1000 of this item. Thank God there are other alternatives, but this is what omo 9ja is doing to their brothers and they think its business.

all4naija: Your country cases are as worse as those on the list!

EroZA:
this is scary my brother....

Habeebpain:

Did you have to quote the whole write-up?

grandstar: The money he got from selling the land, could he not use it to start a business in nigeria? I know of a boy who lost 600k trying to travel. He works as a casual in coca cola earning 600 daily. A one track mind is a curse. Opportunity blindness

Semony: 2peace or what ever is your name, infact you are insane by genaralizing everybody in Guangzhou. He took you to where you can not help yourself and you expect him to do it free of charge . you would have ask him what it will cost you if he help you to get what you want. When you guys travel with small 5000 dollars that is bank loan , you guys will be making notice. That is how the deputy Ambassador to Beijing said in an interview that all nigeriansin china are touts and thieves . because he fail to do his job instead he sold the people he is suppose to guide into the hands of Chinese police. Is only in Nigerian ambasy that one pay in dollers instead of yuan. So for 2peace i will not blame you because if a deputy ambassador should sound so stupid what about a goat like you .be careful .

all4naija:
Merely looking at the silliness you exhibit here it's clear you are not in any way better than the least of Nigerians. That helps us to put into perspective your boring country in comparison to Nigeria. No matter what you say here, Nigeria is not in your petty league. You know that and you know that very well. Mind you, we are talking about people who begged to be allowed as refugees in Brazil. Imagine that coming from your people without any shame.

In terms of development, Nigeria is likely 20 years ahead of Ghana. Despite the poor power supply in Nigeria or erratic electricity there is no way any area Ghana is advanced as to what Nigeria have on ground at the moment. There are recorded constant blackout in your cities as well(Nigeria and Ghana share that alike), your roads are not as good as the Nigerian roads(we have the second largest network of road in Africa after South Africa), The Nigerian universities are better(the list of best universities in Africa is a testament to that), our people look beautiful than your people because Ghanaians are known to be very dark like back of a kettle and are usually midgets. I agree there is poor security system in place in Nigeria but that cannot be used to measure development, if not South Africa having the second worst criminal rate in Africa would have be on the bottom of the table in term of development in Africa.

Get your facts straight and stop begging the question when you don't have any thing reasonable to present or support your argument.
