Actually, it seems like everything was better off 30 years ago. Be it electricity, health care, water, roads, even freaking corruption (not as bad as it is today). There is a church in every corner - A lot of Nigerians have lost hope and have been falsely led to believe that GOD is the only one that can make things better. Absolute nonsense! You can pray till tomorrow and even live in the church - without a proactive effort to analyse problems and come up with a solution, and implement that solution, Nigeria will continue to be in this mess.

PS. There is a thread on the front page about some hospital refusing to treat or even accept an accident victim. Lives have been lost because of this Madness!

GoodFaith:

Just electricity Please
Good water NO
Roads
Security
Healthy Care
Corruption will kill all Nigerian including me
Selfish nation and people
electricity was better off 30 year ago

.............

Security of lives is my first priority anywhere in the world, in Nigeria you need Opc, tall gates and walls like the Berlin Wall, armed police men, Angel Michael,
Holy Ghost fire, Koranic verses, voodoo or juju, German Shepherd etc to secure your life and it cost money to provide all this and even at that, you can still get killed despite all your security apparatus surrounding you and the police might not be able to fish out the killers sad

The above might be right about Nigeria but...

I mean, are you safer, say in America?

or is it not the same America, despite all the light, good roads, security, e.t.c, that people get murdered in large numbers, almost on a weekly basis?

Be it in Schools, on the Beach, at a Discoteque, just name it and there is a mutherfucker with an Assault Rifle, spraying bullets indiscriminately.

And to make it worse, if "you" are dark-skinned (l did not say "Black"wink like Trayvon Martins or other black folks used as 'target practice' by either Caucasian Police or their racist, White supremacist friends who think just because your skin is dark, you deserve to be mowed down like a chicken, then you are better-of dying in Nigeria! grin grin

In Nigeria, you are certain you wont ever be killed by the Police or some random person ...just for the single reason that the color of your skin is "dark"!
You can even negotiate with thieves afterall, they are in business to make money. undecided undecided

If l am shot in a robbery, l know they are after my money
If l am attacked on the streets, maybe they want my Phone or that Gold chain (l wont carry it or put it on next time)

...But to be shot by my neighbour, who l have no grudge against or the Police/neighbourhood watch, ....just because l am 'dark skinned' and dont look like them, is most dehumanising!
and it would be most ignorant if one does not know that they cant do a damn thing about the color of their skin

Seriously, l love my Nigeria-die. grin grin

One question for is. What justification do you a price for a house in mataima and asokoro to cost N800m when there is no much commercial activity going on there compared to Lagos. Even houses in Washington DC or London doesn't cost that much
Talkamu:







Okay sir, we have comprehended. You feel unsafe in Nigeria. It is a shithole, you are not safe and life is worthless in Nigeria.

Kindly sir, I beseech of you, leave this matter. We have heard you. Some of us currently live in the west and still desire for personal reasons to live in the country you despise so much- with all the faults, and as it is. Kindly remember that indeed, whilst you have a voice and a right to your belief, many of us on this page are individuals who actually do live, or have a desire to reside in Nigeria. You are not doing anything wrong, but your message has been heard. No need for the overkill. Just let it be sir. May Dubai grow your investments, and America and even Bermuda. Enough of the castigation of Nigeria. You are singing hollow now. Please leave it.

I would rather spend billion to buy houses in Beverly hill than spend that amount on banana island. At least premium facilities will be available and most importantly security is guaranteed and more valued. Almost 80% of houses in "over hyped" banana are dormant. A ghost neighborhood.

One of the major causes of Nigeria's corruption is early discovery of oil. The elite saw it as a quick wealth without putting much effort to earn. Is like giving a range rover sport for a 16years old teenager. What do you expect from the child fun, easy life, pleasure, flirting and that's what is happening. Moral culture wasn't instilled in the people.

those who would love to live in them cannot afford them.

No one has any secret, our problems are multifaceted and the best one can do is make the best of what he/she can control.

But, I don't get this endless self-flagellation on a forum where we are supposed to be discussing practicalities of property construction. It rankles when the thread is taken over by pages after pages of complaints from 'obodo-oyinbo' peeps, showing off their gelded lifestyles in societies they merely lucked on to, not that their forefathers contributed a single damn thing to build those societies.

Ok, I appear to have jumped on a similar tangent - apologies. Last word on this.

Really? Still debating Nigeria vs US/Canada?

Everyone's experience is different. There are many Nigerians in US/Canada who are barely hanging on. When someone tells you that Nigeria is all that, you have no idea of his living situation. Perhaps he will be better off in Nigeria. This assumption that everyone is ok in diaspora is a ruse. Don't judge him until you walk in his shoes.
