Nihilist: Lmao

Everything you listed can be experienced in Peckham and Dalston market in London grin

I personally miss nothing from Nigeria. I grew up in the ghettos of Lagos. As soon as I got the chance to leave, I didn't even think twice.


You mean visitation from friends and famz, Owambe parties, Conductor chants, can be found in this London market of urs?... Don't let us fool ourselves.... One will def miss home

laoma15: Nothing to miss about Naija. Africa is hell. If you have your money and good job abroad, you have nothing to miss about Africa jungle. You can't be in paradise and still remember hell. Naija is sickening. People are only existing they aren't living.

Re: 15 Things Nigerians Miss While Living Abroad by BuhBye: 10:20am On Aug 06, 2014
I live in Nigeria
1. I don't like unannounced visits.
2. You must be joking right, park your car in the wrong place and these street thugs will suck your pocket dry.
3. Now you are talking wink
4. I live close to a bus stop and i HAAAAATE noise of any sort. Loud music,noise induced drama/argument, conductors shouting at the top of their voice etc name it i hate it.
5. Some TV shows though.
6. Refer to no 4
8. Thanks but i don't party why? see no 4 again.
9. I'm not good at this so i prefer things with a price tag.
10. Maybe
11. The "face me i face you" type you mean, i don't like those too why? see no 4... again.
12. Hell yeah. smiley
13. You have said it all "Nigerians don't mind their business" angry
14.Maybe it's because I'd hate to see/hear people chew their food with their mouth open but i would miss naija food and suya smiley
15. see no 4... again.

You know that aint soo true compatriot, compare Nairobi with just Kampala in that respect and see what I am just talking about. With exception of maybe Mombasa, Kenya is generally a 'laidback' country.
Re: 15 Things Nigerians Miss While Living Abroad by uncjay(m): 8:13pm On Aug 06, 2014
kokoye: I dont miss most of the lawlessness you have listed here.
. Here comes the just and most righteous Nigerian abroad.....it quite unfortunate that the habitual trend of building other countries and tarnishing your home land is a major ethic with Nigerians....though Nigeria has problem but how can you call a normal way of behaviour among people lawless just because you found yourself within the enclaves of an advance country...who knows how worst you are if you were to be here....bros go think.....do your best to make things better not to complicate it.....two wrongs cannot make a RIGHT...

How do you compare Kampala with Nairobi? How do you call Kenya a laidback country which is the backbone of east african economy? i know you are illiterate about Kenya when you say Mombasa is better than Nairobi..it is at the coast where we dont even travel,talk about cities like Nakuru,Isiolo,Machakos,Konza and meru.. east africa produces 100% beer and alcohol....60% consumed by Kenyans alone and 40% to Tanzania,Uganda(kampala),Burundi and Rwanda.... Aint no way yo comparing Kenya and Uganda.
And btw, with no natural resources and dependence on our subsistence sector &agriculturals sector...Kenya is doing better than Nigeria in terms of growth,only that nigeria is more developed to serve its "over population".
