dayokanu:

Why cant you Night crawl. I can wake up here and decide to go out at 2am without fearing nothing

Do u know that alot of Nigerians sleep outside, in their compounds when there's heat? because of the breeze, alot sleep outside, so it's not like robbers wake about the whole of Nigeria, they always have targets and when there's no targets for them, they strike banks. (but now, both is becoming hard, so they are mostly running to [size=4pt]Naija delta[/size] and yahooing )

You mean the ones in ABule Egba who obtain cell phones are gone, Or the ones who use Okada to rob people of their petty belongings in Agege-Fagba and Agbado Station axis?

And what's the gate and the gateman suppose to do if there were robbers around?

honeric01:

Well its kinda gonna be hard to get over the gate but if they did, it would give us enough warning to lock upstairs.
(Its pretty secure)

And that would secure you? locking the doors? have you ever seen a giant sledge hammer before?

To each his own.

I'm an Irish citizen. I 'm also a Naija citizen.
Schooled in the UK and worked briefly there too.

Truth is i prefer naija a thousand times.
I chose to relocate and have no regrets ^{(even though oga is still unhappy with me).}

Wahala of living abroad:
Cold, discrimination (let's don't deceive ourselves), heavy taxation, annoying tickets etc.

Wahala of living in Naija:
Nepa, insecurity, fuel wahala, bad roads etc.

If you have your money, Naija is the best place to live.
Maybe i'm talking like this because i know i can always run back if things get bad. . .

I love Naija sha.

Jeeeeeeeeeez. . . . .U were one of those folks buying/selling pregnancy in Ireland around 2002?

Truth is i prefer naija a thousand times.
I chose to relocate and have no regrets ^{(even though oga is still unhappy with me).}

I also prefer Nigeria but i cannot but miss Man Utd's games.
HITV/DSTV wahala is the number one problem i have got with Naija.

Wahala of living abroad:
Cold, discrimination (let's don't deceive ourselves), heavy taxation, annoying tickets etc.

Cold - Buy a heater.
Discrimination - U dunno your rights. I have as much rights as Gordon Brown.
Taxation - It keeps the residents safe. Good roads, constant light, public services, etc tec.
Tickets - You don't have to drive to work. Buy your Oyster Card and get friendly with Jubilee Line.

Wahala of living in Naija:
Nepa, insecurity, fuel wahala, bad roads etc.

Nepa - Hell
Insecurity - Double hell
Fuel wahala - Armageddon
Bad roads - Death traps.

If you have your money, Naija is the best place to live.
Maybe i'm talking like this because i know i can always run back if things get bad. . .

To live comfortably in Naija, you will need 5 times as much as you earn in the UK.

I love Naija sha.

I love Naija too but the Government don't love us.

Jeeeeeeeeeez. . . . .U were one of those folks buying/selling pregnancy in Ireland around 2002?

 

Nor be me and you. 

I also prefer Nigeria but i cannot but miss Man Utd's games.
HITV/DSTV wahala is the number one problem i have got with Naija.

Just buy both, it's 15k a month for both.
My main issue is no super fast internet.

Nepa - Hell
Insecurity - Double hell
Fuel wahala - Armageddon
Bad roads - Death traps.

Nepa. . .get a gen
Insecurity. . .think 9/11 
Fuel wahala. . .buy black market (sad sha for an OPC)
Bad roads. . .buy a 4WD

To live comfortably in Naija, you will need 5 times as much as you earn in the UK.

With my income in the UK, i was managing.

Deduct all the bills and i have just enough to tide me along till the next pay check comes.
If not for discipline, i woulda run into serious credit card debts.

Now in Naija, i can save as much for anything i want.
I have a thriving business which triples my income (try opening a biz in the UK).

I'm doing x 100 better than i was doing abroad.
Like i said to each his own. I doubt if i can live abroad for a year straight.

BlueDiva:

Nor be me and you.

U better fess up now. . . . .

With my income in the UK, i was managing.

Why do you need to be excessive in the first place?
Why need 7 cars when 2 should do? The mentality is different here unlike Naija where Chief Kalu owns 500 cars in his yard.

Deduct all the bills and i have just enough to tide me along till the next pay check comes.
If not for discipline, i woulda run into serious credit card debts.

If you do your calculations properly, the cost of living in Nigeria is worse.
If you add up the random intangibles and miscellaneous people spend money on, i'd rather be here.
I can bet you have been to the mechanic more than 10 times this month whereas i have not opened ma bonnet for over 9 months.

Now in Naija, i can save as much for anything i want.
I have a thriving business which triples my income (try opening a biz in the UK).

I hope to God this business is NOT kidnapping of foreign nationals in Shell/Agip/ExxonMobil.

I'm doing x 1000 better than i was doing abroad.

Cheese n Rice. . . . . .
Bluediva, i am calling your cellphone now. What is the secret?

@ sauron, so fast to quote me?
I edited some stuff.

Ok, it's like this for me.

I hate all the countless rules and laws to obey.

I hate the useless UK weather, worst in the world.

I hate all those bills they put in my box.

I hate all those camera's watching you.

I hate the look the old folks still give us blacks (in my case, half black)

I hate having to calculate every penny i'm gonna spend.

I could go on and on.

As for my biz,
I run an event management business and i have a shop that sells luxury items in Abj.
Try buying a Polo RL top  for $60 during sales. Your Abj people will buy it at N14,000. 

I hate all the countless rules and laws to obey.

Nope not really the rules and laws are what make the UK a relatively peaceful and civilised country, remove them and you are back to Nigeria standards.

I hate the useless UK weather, worst in the world.

In a way yes, in a way no, I love spring and summer and autumn, winter is bearable for 4 months.

I hate all those bills they put in my box.

But it is those bills that keep the infrastructure in tip top shape, which is why we have 24/7 water, light etc etc

I hate all those camera's watching you.

If you no be ole wetin be ya own , lol

I hate the look the old folks still give us blacks (in my case, half black)

Like you I am also mixed race, but I do not care what looks whites give me, sure you get sometimes, just look away they do not pay your bills and are not better than any of us.

I hate having to calculate every penny i'm gonna spend.

Same here , thats life, lol. 

I could go on and on.

Please don't go on, the stress is bad enough 

Ok, it's like this for me.

I hate all the countless rules and laws to obey.

Are you a lawless citizen?

I hate the useless UK weather, worst in the world.

have you been to Kano state and Maiduguri before?

I hate all those bills they put in my box.

You used the utilities, so you have to pay for it. Sorry no hookup for NEPA meter and telephone

I hate all those camera's watching you.

What are you hiding, Are you smuggling Sauron into your house through the backdoor?

I hate the look the old folks still give us blacks (in my case, half black)

No one has the monopoly of looks. Look your own back!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate having to calculate every penny i'm gonna spend.

Whats wrong with applying the Maths you learnt in college. I am sure you prefer spraying money for Wasiu and Osita Osadebey

I could go on and on.

The same shirts folks in Nigeria are bragging about? So you are taking advantage of them.

Can anyone make money without being shady or blowing profits outta proportion.

Are you not taking advantage of the system in Nigeria?

Yes, bluediva, to each his/her own, what works for some might not work for others, its got to do with everyone's mindset, whatever you believe is good for you remains good and whatever is bad for you remain bad.

platinumnk:

no and I hope I never see one. and ummm by the time they finish putting a dent in the doors they will be tired and leave

lol, you don't know what you are saying, a huge sledge hammer would displace that front from a single hit.

Lol at replies.

Naija is for the fast bucks people.
Fortunately or unfortunately, i fall into that group.

I'm pursuing a contract now in Abj,
If i manage to get it, i can feed the whole Nairaland for a week.

Only in Naija can you make so much profit.
Hate me or not, i speak the truth, the system is here for you to take advantage of.

What do they do for me an Irish subject?
Free milk for my kids, reduced education cost for me, unemployment benefits (only fools will want that) and what else? Rubbish.
I love my Naija, i nor go lie. . .

I cant hate you for it. but boils back to the same thing Tell me how its possible to live a better life in Nigeria without taking advantage of the system

What do they do for me an Irish subject?
Free milk for my kids, reduced education cost for me,

In Nigeria when 1 month old babies have to learn how to eat eba and ogbono they would appreciate the milk or where u have to pay exorbitant amounts for a decent sch

There are ways round it.
At the end, the important question is what returns are you willing to give to the people that matter?

Three things that frustrates me here.
1. Nepa
2. Slow and unreliable internet (even when they claim it's broadband.
3. Malaria, i hate it when my kids and I have malaria. I hate it with a passion.
