SmartMugu:

I've heard that before several times. I was actually born here in the US by Nigerian parents, but I lived in Nigeria through most of my adolescent ages. I came back to the US about 12 years ago right after I graduated in Nigeria. So I have a decent knowledge of what's happening where I was raised especially with helps from following up with current happenings that I read about in forums like this.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the US or any country for that matter. I never even mentioned coming back to live in Nigeria, so where did you get that from?

I can be either in Nigeria or the US for however long I want, I chose to be where favors me at the moment. I visit Nigeria quite often but chose not to live there at the moment even though I have investments back there.

Why leave a place with good roads, steady electricity, safety, steady income, etc to return to loud generator noise, police/area boys extortion etc, weird judicial system etc?
It was ok when I lived there, for me today, it's not same in every other country ive visited, and I choose not to go backwards.

So, why do u think I'm a hypocrite? Cos I chose to live elsewhere ?

I don Katch you..

Oya what about your Stepbrothers at least out of those 20 wives your Dad married,, one would give birth to a boy..

Bollinger:


Good for you too. But since the question was directed at me, i answered as it pertained. The only way i can imagine anyone being poor in america is if the said individual is an illegal immigrant or an akata. With that status there is no hope for you. But wait a minute, you work for a fortune 500 and make all that income and you still stress on moving to Nigeria. See why i am confounded? You are in an environment which is conducive enough to achieve whatever dreams you desire, a place where you have adequate security, a place where all amenities are functioning and you want to trade it for a lawless country where nothing works and the future is uncertain. I must be the crazy one. Yes, i am definitely insane. There is no other explanation.

Yes America is great until you realize no matter how much you want to believe that you are one of them you are not cos there's really no place like home. Yes I make a lot of money but in reality it is chicken change compared to what I could be making in 9ja as an entrepreneur. You mentioned that all amenities are working but you forgot that it's not free. Maybe it's the fact that I'm an Aries but I just don't like when a system is designed to take advantage of people; social security is a scam, insurance is mostly rip-off and seriously 7k just to give birth, ridiculous! This is exactly what the American system was designed for, you make money but spend it all in the US. Over 80% of Americans can't boast of 10k in savings, that's just a measly 2 million naira and yet people buy large houses and so on. The smart people in America are those able to take advantage of the system and invest wisely, those able to use the tools around them wisely, this is where being an African has its advantages. God willing, in the next 10 years I plan on investing heavily on real estate in Nigeria, beefing up my savings and finally saying good riddance to corporate America(Monday to Friday 8AM to 6PM is stressing me out). In Nigeria I can truly live like a king and with continuous income, I can enjoy it for years to come, I can afford a maid or two, a gateman and a driver and it all won't cost me more than what I'm paying for insurance per month. In 9ja, I can own my own company and truly impact people's lives. I can be all that I can be and more; in America I'm just a puppet, making money but not really living! Salah is coming up yet the Mofos expect me to manage my department regardless. I don't know about you but life is too short to be limited, America is just a stepping stone for me to get to my final destination, it will and cannot ever be called home!

As for me I've travelled to Niger Republic before for a football competition.

shizzy7:

Dude you misunderstood me.

US and Nigeria are not the only countries in the world.

Go seek another country whose moral compass matches yours. I just don't understand folks that complain instead of taking action.

MightySparrow:



Fine Bros, I have paid my own due I am awaiting the reward. God will help you to accomplish your desire. Cheers.

shizzy7:
I'm not a 'Bros'...How did you pay your own dues?

EgunMogaji:


Odedimu, just as I suspected your reality is the life you live. Hope you weren't trying to impress me with your POS 250k starter home

The America I know is TOLERANT but I sorrowing myself with educated people and not dredges of its society.

Why shouldn't we close our borders to protect our people? That's not being intolerant but being responsive.

Like I said get out of that Deep South and come out to civilization.

With your kind of sense even an amoeba is intelligent.

abbey621:


You're still not making sense! Still the same baseless rhetoric! I've probably traveled to more States than you can count and yes 250k house is not much but considering it is not mortgaged it is very much valued! You associate with intelligent people yet you think Southern California is the apex of civilization . My friend you are a nobody, you are not even a true American so stop using "we'" as if na your papa be Abraham Lincoln.

Like I said, I don't live in Canada, however I have visted more than 20 times from the US. The fact that a certain percentage is white doesnt mean they are not immigrants. There are Canadians whose roots are from France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Holland and other countries. I'd expect them to be white and may be not racist because everyone knows Canada is not their land.

raphy:
wadup pal! Wht do canada hv tht is so special?

I live in America but i must confess, there's no place like Nigeria.
If i can get a job that pays like the one i have in America, I will be in Nigeria the next day.

Nigeria is the best country on earth.
People who lives in Nigeria may not understand this till you move to that country you think is the best.

jesussaves22:
Biafra or Nigeria. I have suffered for nigeria and in return nigeria have paid me well so why leaving nigeria to go and be a slave abroad. Tufiakwa. Nigeria is my home and i love it. Am even looking for a white man or woman to be my maid and i will feed him and pay him. Yes i will do it because my blessings are in nigeria and it have manifested. This country is sweet if you find your self in my shoes. Many of my school friends who runs to uk, dubai and america are so jealous of me. They even pray to get a well paid job if they return to nigeria. Do you love freedom?? Are you a liberalist? Nigeria your country is a place you can get it. After all dangote made it here in nigeria and is been respected all over the world. Orji kalu made it. Chisco made it from bus conductor. Adenuga made it. Elumelu made it so why should i run?? Many white men are working very hard for this individuals in nigeria. If they have paradise as a country then why are they in Nigeria Biafra or Nigeria.. Full stop
