Why should you give out useless daughter for any man to marry, you need to tell the suitor the truth, marry at your own risk then let the suitor go into the marriage with eyes opened.

Why should anybody lie about the situation in Nigeria to suitable investor only for that investor to waste money and time going into the business?

Now that is just straight out untrue. Whatever problems you may raise about Nigeria, one thing that is for certain is that it makes some investors excellent returns. Business is booming in many sectors in Nigeria and you would not have so many foreigners there as you apparently do if it was not a good place to invest.

Do you also know that several multinational businesses that came to Nigeria with bright prospects have relocated to neighboring Ghana due to all the factors posted here by so many people, Google manufacturers association of Nigeria (MAN) and see there reports of the number of companies that have either closed shop or moved to Ghana, some businesses are surviving but all things been equal if the climate where saner and all the red-flags raised here are eliminated things would certainly be better but for how long ..if wishes where horses beggars will ride on them. .
Nigeria's number 1 problem is corruption, kill or reduce corruption and Nigeria will be on it's way to recovery or else that country will keeping moving in cycles..........

while I don't care about justwise opinion about nigeria, I think it is absurd that seun made such a person with a negative view about nigeria a moderator of the travel section of nairaland. The travel section of nairaland should be like a tripsadvisor for prospective visitor to nigeria. With such a strong hatred for nigeria and with such a strong will for discouraging traveller to nigerians, I think seun should review his criteria for choosing moderators other than the next available person

you poor soul...desperately looking for who will sell your damaged goods, you make yourself look very silly when you are trying to cover up what everybody knows, Nigerian problem is documented and online. No serious investor will swallow lies from blind patristics.

I remember my Msc days in the UK. Nigerian students were rushing to northern Ireland to apply for US visa cos the embassy no too sabi hence high approval rate. Soon they realized something was wrong. Now the embassy in northern Ireland na no go area for naija again cos of the rate of denial.

What is the approval rate for applicants direct from the US embassy in Nigeria

I'm not certain but from visiting another thread on US visas, I think its 10 percent approval or maybe less.

@ Justwise

While I agree that Nigeria has serious problems that need urgent attention, it really isn't as bad as you and others are painting it. You seem to have an anti - Nigeria spirit, not only on this thread. Maybe it's because you stayed in Aba before you travelled out, I can understand.

You make it sound like people are dropping dead on the streets of Nigeria everyday, this is grossly untrue. The Nigeria you describe is not the Nigeria I live in. This is a website, anybody in the world can have access to these messages, I'm beyond embarrassed that this is the picture some people are painting of my country.

I live in Uyo. We have at least 17 hrs power supply every day, I don't feel insecure or unsafe at any time of the day, the streets are clean and orderly, the state is opening up; small and medium scale business are booming. Uyo is peaceful and beautiful, I love it here.

Before anybody will ask, I am not a politician's daughter, neither do I have wealthy parents/family. I believe in hard work and grace. I got my job 2 months after NYSC, without knowing any Adam. I live a comfortable life, and I get Visas easily to any country of my choice, without stress. I'm a self made "average" Nigerian, and people like me do exist.

I'm not saying that Nigeria is perfect, and I'm not against immigration, as I might migrate in the future for personal reasons. My point is, I don't know the kick you get out of it, but you are painting a picture of Nigeria that is relatively untrue, and it's unfair, since you're doing nothing tangible to ameliorate the situation. And also, your generalisation that only corrupt politicians live comfortably in Nigeria is very insulting.

Seems like you live in the Walt Disney of Nigeria. My uncle actually dropped dead on the streets not too long ago, not to mention the 2k people who also did about a week ago. With a gen why wouldn't you have 17 hours of neppa, while breathing in the toxic fumes of this gen to receive this 17 hours of neppa. I'm sure after you drive 1 block on this clean and orderly street, you'll run into poverty with police demanding bribes at check points, children selling pure water, etc. You may not be rich or a politician daughter, but you have a good imagination. 2 months after NYSE and you got a job ? Your toto sweet pass sugar cane. You get visa easily to any country of your choice easily (LOL No country respects that ROTTIN PASSPORT)? Touching the gate to any developed nation's embassy's gate is as far as you'll get. Stop insulting yourself.

Naija is sweet yet you'll migrate in the future for "personal reasons" aka Nigeria is a failed state, yet you're here talking all this. If everything you said is true why are you even looking to migrate ? Nne were nwanyo, hapu this Walt Disney story. Biko.

My post was directed to Justwise and other sensible people, not some brain damaged fellow like you. You obviously lack comprehension skills.

I started out by saying that Nigeria has enormous issues that need urgent attention, but it's not as bad. And i made examples that Uyo where I live aint that bad (I bet you don't even know where that is on the map). How does 17 hrs power supply per day translate to generator use? Are you demented?

FYI, I've been to Germany, Spain(2x), France(3x), Switzerland, Italy and the UAE. I have a valid German visa which I used last September, and I just got my US visa in December. I also have expired French and Swiss visas. I got all my visas easily, without stress.

My boyfriend lives in the US and is a citizen, if we get married, I'll join him. And also, if you don't lack comprehension skills, you would've read where I said I'm not anti immigration.

My toto is sweet? You bet...

Enormous issues that need urgent attention, but it's not as bad. See contradiction. Mrs. Walt Disney which one is it ? I've been to Akwa. Like every other rotting state in the country ,most of it is under-developed with corrupted officials. If the state was so good, why wouldn't everyone from the country migrate there to drive on those nice roads, receiving 17 hour neppa ? Your delusion is comical. You haven't been to those countries, again stop insulting yourself. I assume your boyfriend is Nigerian by origin. Why wouldn't he come to your amazing Uyo state and live such a wonderful life like yourself ? Or maybe you suggested it and he laughed and called you a goat, telling you if we get married you must leave that garbage country and you all of a sudden became pro migration ? Ewu. Lastly you don't seem too bright, so let me be the first to inform you your boyfriend is servicing other women in America.

If you are running a company called Nigeria and invested 150m in it with shareholders involved, in every financial year you announce losses, not even break-even, when asked for solution you come up with future profit forecast, engaged in PR exercise to convince investors and shareholders that all is fine, after many years of the same turnover at what point will you stop covering it up and come out clean?

The world doesn't need to read my post in travel section to know exactly what Nigeria is like, they knew that already, they have embassies in Nigeria and every embassy send home monthly report about situation in Nigeria.

You graduated and got a job and my question to you is this? How Nigerian graduates are that lucky?

How many states out of 37 or 38 in Nigeria are enjoying average of 17hrs power supply daily?

You said that Nigeria has serious problems that need urgent attention and i asked: How long has this been the case? Is it a new thing?
